"Azazziel?" —The panic that she exuded from my voice was more noticeable.His eyes closed, and in that instant a horrible, mean feeling threatened to wreak havoc inside me."I don't know," he whispered.—N-no! —I exclaimed without being able to control the tone of my voice, opening my eyes wider than normal—. It's not possible. Mabrax couldn't... —Azazziel turned his head slightly and looked at me without responding, with an emotion that I couldn't identify on his face. I refused to believe in that possibility. “I-it can't be because…” I swallowed, trying to dissolve the lump that had formed in my throat. I-if it were like that... it would mean that... it was my fault.My breathing became extremely agitated. I was starting to hyperventilate.Unconsciously, I tried to stand up, as if getting away from him and everything would eliminate the dreadful feeling that was beginning to consume me.Panic took over his features at that moment, and in less than a second it reached me, preventing

The memory of when I ran into him on the sidewalk, just after leaving work later than usual, when I saw him following me as if I were in imminent danger, cluttered my mind and managed to distract me.At that time I felt like I was going crazy because of him, because I could sense him around me, although I didn't know who he was.-How did you find me? I asked in a hoarse whisper, only because I longed to change the subject. Because I needed to divert my thoughts in another direction, towards one that was less rugged.He was right: I would not have been able to bear the fact that I was aware that my parents' death could have been, in some way, my fault. The mere thought of it caused my chest to hurt even more than it already did, making it difficult for me to breathe. It was more bearable to continue thinking that it was just a fatal assault in which they should never have been present, just as happens to many other families.His hands moved down my arms to my wrists and he gently tugge

My body still felt heavy and somewhat drowsy, as if all the hours I slept were not enough. As if I still needed to rest... As if something inside me had been lost, destroyed and torn from the center of my being and I needed more time to feel like myself again.I let my head fall onto his shoulder, squeezing my eyelids together. For a painful second I waited for an elusive reaction from him, a somewhat ridiculous thought, considering how close our bodies were to each other. But it didn't arrive. The particular and maddening aroma of his skin filled my breath, and I unconsciously inhaled deeply.Azazziel gave a light laugh and, before I could say anything to defend myself, I was able to feel the touch of his lips on my forehead. I raised my head in reflex to the surprise that overcame me. However, he took advantage of my gesture to get closer to my face and kiss me again.He slid one hand around the back of my knees to pull my legs over his, so that I was cradled between his arms and to

I nodded, unable to speak. I couldn't blame him for not wanting to set foot in the house. I didn't even want to stay here, not if they were gone. Anthony imitated my gesture and turned on his heel to head upstairs.Azazziel faced me as soon as my brother was out of my field of vision. He had a smug smile plastered on his face."You knew I was going to come in," I reproached him. Why didn't you become invisible or something?He shrugged and stood in front of me, not exuding even the slightest bit of perplexity at what had just happened."Relax," he urged me. Your brother is calmer now that he knows you are not alone.—I almost had a fit!He rolled his eyes. He waved his hand toward the TV and it turned on, without needing the remote control, and he grabbed my wrist. He guided me to the couch to return to the positions we were in before Anthony arrived, although this time I tried to put a little distance.My nerves were wreaking havoc on my insides. I could feel a light layer of sweat c

"I'd like to stay with you a little longer, if you don't mind," he said in a hoarse whisper.My chest heaved again, but I tried not to let him know.“Nat will come to see me tomorrow,” I announced without further ado. You have to leave when she arrives.—I'll disappear for that while, then. "I have no intention of having any interaction with any of your friends," she said, shrugging her shoulders, but then something grim crossed her features. Especially with that bastard Tyler.He can't help but roll his eyes.-You are amazing."Of course," he said, although he hadn't really meant it as a compliment. Then, before she could reply about it, she leaned in to kiss me on the forehead, distracting me. Now, eat something. Let out.I raised my eyebrows.— Go out?"Your brother was kind enough to let us have his car," he said in a suggestive tone, "so I'm going to get you out of this house for a while."I looked at him suspiciously."I'm sure you made him do it." Anthony would never let me hav

—What did you use to do with your parents? —Azazziel wanted to know, after a couple of minutes.It was like feeling like a dagger was stabbed into me. I shook my head, lips tightening, and doubt took over his expression."It's still too early," I replied in a surly tone. Although, in reality, I had no intention of talking about my parents with him either now or in the near future.Azazziel's face turned serious."Don't do that," he said, and I didn't know why it felt like a reprimand. Don't stop mentioning them as if they had not existed, quite the opposite. Talk about them. About what they did with you, how they influenced the person you are now. —I was able to perceive something dark that took over his gaze—. Don't do the same thing I did.I clenched my jaw, narrowing my eyes in his direction in a gesture that was intended to be disdainful. However, in my heart I agreed with him.I took a deep breath."Very well..." I mumbled. My parents and I came to this reserve a couple of times,

"You freed me from the pain," he said, half smiling. When I told you about Zeross and Aeriele, I told you that over time I had started to get used to where I came from. For a while, I myself felt like I was fitting in… But I wasn't. "He," he shook his head, still holding my gaze. I have always felt that I had to stay there because I had no other option, because I would never have been able to obtain a place in Heaven, nor here on Earth. I lived for many years with that thought in mind. I was not aware that I was a captive of an existence that was destroying the few feelings with which I had come into the world, until I met you. You freed me from that, you were my redemption. And I would love to be able to do the same for you…” His eyes took on an untamed shine, one that made me feel like my insides were shaking. However, the gesture was fleeting, since a shadow of sadness suddenly took over him. But I know I won't be able to do it. I know that I can never be a positive aspect in your

"Me too," I muttered.It was true. She was tired of trying to act strong and pretend that her presence didn't provoke all kinds of feelings in me. He didn't want that, not when he no longer had the strength or the will for it.He shook his head again, and then moved away enough to look me in the eyes, which surely must have looked as scared as I felt. His, however, suddenly shone with that sinister, dangerous, and ferocious glow that used to terrify me.“You are going to walk with your eyes closed down a path that you know will end up destroying you,” he assured, and the warning was so explicit in his sullen voice that I froze. In complete darkness you will give your heart."I don't want to hold back anymore," I said and had to clear my throat to continue, because my voice trembled. All my life I have avoided doing so many things for fear of the consequences, and I have missed a lot of opportunities that could have done me good, just because the possibility of it ending badly tormente

And the edge of the weapon slid across my skin. I felt the pain as my flesh split open, but I didn't waste any time. I held my hand in the air, over the small mound, so that the drops of blood would fall on it. I stood up and appreciated what I had done. Everything looked like a mess, not at all neat or orderly. It looked like the strange things that weird cults did, it looked like the kind of thing I would never have done before. Then I would take care of cleaning… If I managed to get out of this successfully.I swallowed hard, before taking the book in my hands. My heart pounded against my ribs, but my breathing was slow and labored.«In this way, I invoke you, Demon Alocer, master of black magic. I conjure you. Come and manifest yourself here and now, within this temple that I have prepared for you . They were the words that the book indicated to be able to call him, the appropriate ones to invoke the demon. She wasn't sure I could do it well. I read the inscription, first in my mi

Nat put his weight on one leg, tapping his foot on the ground. She was still waiting for my response."I have an interview on Monday," I told him, and I couldn't help but smile.Her eyes widened, surprised. A pang of nervousness went through me just remembering it."Oh..." he whispered in surprise.We went our separate ways, I stayed on the couch while she went upstairs and stayed upstairs for a while. When she returned to the living room, I raised my eyebrows as I took in the tight, shiny black dress she was wearing, paired with smoky makeup and tall boots that reached above her knees.She stood in front of me and turned around so I could see her completely.-You can see it well?"Oh, yes," I agreed. I cleared my throat, reflecting the enormous surprise that invaded me. So... you're going out, huh? —I prayed that the enthusiasm hadn't come through too much in my voice.This was the opportunity I had been waiting for for weeks.He nodded smiling.“You should go with me,” he said, a ne

I pursed my lips and felt like hitting myself. Nat gave a light, gentle laugh."It's true," I agreed quietly, avoiding looking at him."Your dog is great, girls," he said with a certain touch of emotion that seemed childish to me, "he looks like a real wolf.""It's yours," Nat said, pointing his thumb at me.—Do you mind if I pet him? —Dave asked me.Alexander gave a guttural snort and stepped away, hiding behind me."He's not very friendly," I murmured, slanting my lips apologetically, and he nodded with a slight grimace of feigned horror. He turned to take a look at Diana, who still hadn't finished shopping, and he looked at me again. Her dark eyebrows drew together in a clearly confused expression."Excuse me," he said, flashing a nervous smile, one of those so typical of him, "I think it will sound silly, but... do we know each other from somewhere?" “I feel…” He pursed his lips. I feel like we've seen each other before.The serenity disappeared from me as soon as a strange pang c

My mood was not the happiest no matter how much I tried to change it, mostly because of Nat, since lately she was very determined to scold me if she saw me sad. And she didn't do it in a kind way, since she always related my despondent state to the fact that we had already spent a little over a month without knowing anything at all about the three demons. She got angry when she saw me down and she said that she couldn't be like this, not because of them . Likewise, he also took the enormous job of making sure he never left me alone anywhere.Sometimes I caught her staring at the ground or into the distance while we were doing something, and I knew perfectly well that she was thinking about Khaius. However, when she realized that he was looking at her, she would quickly start talking about whatever. I never saw her cry, apart from the first day when she decorated the kitchen wall with coffee, as if she wanted me to believe that she got over it very easily. But she knew her too well, a

-Are you ready? —Nat asked me.I looked at her with a sunken brow.-You are?She pursed her lips slightly. I saw that the clenched fist she was holding in the air trembled a little."Of course," he answered, but he knew her well enough to detect a note of hesitation in her voice. Come on, at the same time.I nodded.I also extended one arm in front of me, holding the leather bracelet that I once acquired for ordinary purposes, like any other person who buys jewelry, but that I came to use to summon nothing more and nothing less than a true demon.We counted to three out loud, but the first to open her hand was Nat. I noticed her fingers part to drop the rune-engraved silver ring that Khaius had given her, so she could summon him whenever she wanted. A second later, I imitated her and, with my heart hammering as if I were the one who was going to jump from this tremendous height onto the pedestrian bridge where we were, I noticed a dizzying sensation in her stomach.The high meters of

And if my feelings were, then so was Asmodeus and his promise to see us again.I looked at my hands, which now looked as ordinary as they had always been. At this point, after experiencing for myself the kind of things I was capable of, and even though it seemed uncomfortable, strange and improbable, I had to consider the possibility that maybe I wasn't human. Not at all. But if I looked at it from another perspective than I had done this time, maybe that wasn't the most important thing. Because how different could humans be from angels and demons? If we were all originated by the same being, were we deep down so different from each other?The difference was that we had a choice. I could choose.I clenched my fists tightly as I stood up and, taking a deep breath, squared my shoulders.The obsession that they always had, the doubt of my origin, that which dominated them so much was really not interesting at all. For me, not anymore. Because what did matter was what he could do with thi

I didn't realize that Alexander had followed me into the room until I heard his moans. The pitiful sound he emitted managed to bring me out of the rage I was immersed in, and he made me open my eyes. Then, a gasp of pure shock and horror left my lips.My fingers opened and dropped the flower I was previously holding, now in a strange, misshapen and blackish shred from which a row of gray smoke seemed to be coming out.But what…?Even with my eyes filled with tears, I was able to see the faint trace of what appeared to be real smoke emanating from the palms of my hands. I didn't believe it. It couldn't be possible. Either my own sense was deceiving me, or in the end I did end up losing my mind.However, the image disappeared from my sight as soon as panic overwhelmed me.The active part of my brain made me react and I stood up. Out of pure instinct rather than anger, I stepped several times on the black flower from which a faint smoke was emanating. A strong smell burned my nose. The s

I left the room and closed the door carefully, slowly, with a lump forming in my throat. Then, with a heavy heart and low spirits, I walked to my bedroom. Even without having entered, I already knew that I would feel much worse.I would have loved to be able to walk into my own room and be calm, to feel like I was in my personal refuge, somewhere protected and safe from the world. But it was not like that. My chest squeezed violently when I looked from the threshold at my unmade bed, my old desk with my laptop and a couple of books scattered on top, the closet, a couple of clothes thrown away and everything else, as messy as it always used to be... I hadn't even made it a month outside, but it felt like years had passed since I last set foot here. Everything was just as I left it, nothing had moved from its place.So when my eyes eventually came across the nightstand that sat on the side of my bed, I froze. I felt a stream of ice run down my back. And, in the next second, a gasp escap

It didn't take long when, immersed in my own bubble of silence and anguish, I managed to hear Anthony's footsteps down the stairs. I closed my eyes tightly, not feeling ready to face him or face whatever he wanted to say, and I stayed very still. However, not a single word came out of his mouth. He just approached and sat down carefully and silently in a corner of the sofa where I was, next to my head.Anthony didn't learn much; In fact, I didn't tell him anything at all. I didn't have to give him any explanation, he didn't make an effort to find out what he had done those two weeks that I wasn't home. My brother didn't scold me for crying, he didn't tell me that he was an idiot for trusting the wrong guy, nor did he make fun of me like he used to do with every mistake he made. He just ran his fingers through my hair for a long time, like my mother used to do with us when we were children and needed her attention.That gesture alone was enough for me to start crying uncontrollably, so
