I put my arm around his stomach and held him close to me, although I didn't know how much he could feel my touch.The silence lasted for several minutes, until I began to feel fatigue taking over my system as time passed. I realized he wouldn't talk to me again anytime soon, so I allowed my mind to stop scheming and surrendered to my body's need to rest. His torso was so warm, it was very easy to give up.—Amy. —Her voice brought me back to reality for another second. I shook my head slightly to let him know that she was listening to him… at least, still. I think I'm...I waited a few moments, but he didn't continue.—What ? —I asked (rather stammered). In fact, her tone was so low, that deep down I wasn't entirely sure if she really said anything.I waited for several seconds, under a silence so intense that it became increasingly easy for me to drift into drowsiness.Exhaustion finally overcame me when Azazziel began running his fingers through my hair. Confusion and suspicion came

-Oh please. A hint of irritation crept into Akhliss's voice. You're not going to tell me that it bothers you that I'm here.He narrowed his gaze, and then I caught a flash of resentment in his violet eyes.That lessened my anger slightly.—N-it's not that...Out of nowhere, small hands roughly shook me by the shoulders.-Relax woman! Nat exclaimed, half irritated and half amused. Everything's fine! I'm fine, they are fine. Everything's fine! "She," she repeated happily, and she began to push me towards the room.Akhliss headed to the refrigerator and returned to me. He stretched out a hand toward me who had a beer bottle."I can't," I mumbled, somewhat annoyed. I work tomorrow."A beer won't do anything for you," Nat urged me."Well, considering how little Amy drinks, maybe she will get drunk with a simple beer," Khaius added from further away, with a faint hint of mockery.I felt the pang of an emotion I didn't know how to recognize. It was strange because I rarely saw Khaius joking,

Had they told you that too? How much had they talked? Why was all this happening without me knowing?!I felt frustrated. I gritted my teeth.-What's with that? Khaius asked."Well, being born dead and then coming back to life from nothing isn't something that happens every day," Nat said, as if it were the most obvious thing. Wouldn't that have something to do with it?"We can't know if it was a mistake on the part of the doctors," Akhliss said. There is no way to verify it.—Yes, but the hospital was burned down, right? —Nat insisted.The looks the three of them cast on me made me nervous, so I just cowered in place."It could have just been a coincidence," Khaius murmured, not quite convinced of his own words.—But what if it wasn't? —she insisted, staring at him, with a sunken brow. That is, she is practically someone who was resurrected . Isn't that the answer?—She is not the only human who comes back to life after dying. However, she's the only one who came back… different ,” Ak

A while later, when I finished eating and drinking my only beer, Nat took me to see the second floor. As I climbed the stairs next to the entrance, I could see that there were two rooms that seemed to be quite spacious, and at the back, in the corner facing the patio, there was a balcony. The location seemed unusual to me, but when Nat took me there, I understood what made it special.You could see the backyard, large and beautiful, with a grass that seemed very well maintained, a hammock like the one I had at home and a small round table with chairs. Of course, from the balcony you could see even the sky. I assumed that, on nights where the moon was clear, the view must be beautiful."Hey..." Nat murmured cautiously, leaning on the wooden railing that made it impossible for us to fall down. And, well, moving away a little from everything supernatural and that..., how are you doing? How do you feel?The change of subject made me happy, on the one hand, because of the concern he expres

Now I did laugh hard, so much so that it surprised me myself.A few seconds later, an eerie ice in the air let me know that Khaius was behind us, even though I didn't hear him get up.—Amy, will you come with me? —She asked, making a shy gesture with one hand.I looked at Nat with confusion written all over my face, but she just smiled in response. So I silently followed the demon down the hallway, where the two rooms were separated by an empty space. We passed the first one, and he opened the door to the second one.“Come in,” he said when he turned on the light, giving me a warm smile.-And that? —I asked when I was inside, frowning—. Will Nat live with someone else? Will you live with her? —Unintentionally, my last question sounded somewhat alarmed.Serious.—And why would we have separate rooms? "Him," she shook her head, still smiling. This one is not for me.-So? —I asked cautiously, somewhat suspicious of her expression. She wasn't used to seeing him so happy.—Well, she would

How could I continue with my life as always, if every time I came home the memory of him brought me down?I rolled over on the mattress, and my gaze focused on the black rose that still rested, perfectly healthy, in the thin vase it had been in since Azazziel gave it to me. I didn't understand how it hadn't yet withered, and the slight suspicion that perhaps it was something more than a simple flower made with demon blood made me feel strange and insecure. The grief from a few moments ago was beginning to take over my insides, gaining a little more ground with each second.With my eyelids closed, I threw a roll between a blanket, I let the tiredness engulf me. The day would have ended like this, in a nostalgic way..., if it had not been for the fact that, suddenly, a cold and chilling halo took over the atmosphere of my room.A presence that I knew so well, that I didn't need to open my eyes to confirm that it was him .An almost imperceptible half smile appeared on my face, as I noti

An annoying screeching sound snapped me out of my unconsciousness.I clenched my eyelids tightly, trying to stretch myself. The insistent noise was annoying, and I couldn't understand where it was coming from until the lethargy finally managed to leave—with difficulty—from my system. And finally I was able to recognize that it was my cell phone alarm.I reached over to turn it off, still with my eyes closed. A groan of laziness reverberated in my chest, half annoyed when the voice of my conscience ordered me to get up to go to work.I was too hot. Her hair was stuck to the back of her neck and, at first, I didn't understand why she felt so suffocated. After several minutes fighting my desire to continue sleeping—somewhat late—I was finally able to feel and be aware of the foreign weight that surrounded my waist.A spark of confusion set off the alarm inside me, and what was left of the numbness in me ended up disappearing. Then, I realized that the intense heat was emanating from some

«It's not just the fact that he's sleeping. It's just that she is sleeping WITH YOU . The words echoed in my mind and circled, settling so I could understand the undercurrent of what that meant.And suddenly, a warm, disconcerting feeling took over my chest. Just a couple of days ago he had told me that he didn't dare sleep with anyone, because he didn't trust anyone enough to be able to neglect his safety like that. But now he was there, with me, in such a vulnerable position that, had he wanted to and been able, he could have done anything to harm him, no matter how minimal.An idiotic smile appeared on my face. I couldn't stop the excitement from running through my system as if I were a child discovering something wonderful for the first time.An unintelligible murmur escaped his lips, but I couldn't tell what he was trying to say. The arm around my waist pressed me closer to him, and then a shiver of panic ran through me when I felt his entire body excessively close to mine. I tri
