My stomach contracted even more."Y-you're okay," I whispered. That was obvious, of course, but I only said it because I needed to break the density of the silent atmosphere and because, although my resentment against him had not completely diminished, I really felt relieved to have him in front of me. Wounded, but alive.He nodded, still not looking at me.-How do you feel? —He inquired, but his eyes continued studying the space in which we were, as if it were the first time she had seen it—. Physically, I mean.I looked at my own body and felt again the area in my torso where I previously felt the pain that prevented me from breathing well."Much better," I admitted, before furrowing my brow at the suspicion that arose in me. Did you...heal me?Again, he shook his head in a half-hearted nod. I wanted to think that perhaps that was due to his surly attitude, because he had used the little energy he had to heal my wounds. Maybe he was just very tired.Once again, I felt nervousness ti

For eternal moments, I was not able to say anything, I was not able to move.For a few seconds, I felt like I couldn't breathe properly.I opened my mouth, but immediately closed it as I couldn't find any answer in my head for what he had just said. For a short period that felt endless, I couldn't do anything other than watch as he, with a sunken brow and a countenance that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't define, looked away from me.—What are you talking about? —I asked in a whisper.Azazziel crossed his arms over his chest and took a deep breath. He had advanced through the room until he was at the foot of the bed and from there he was looking at some place on the floor with almost no attention, completely avoiding fixing his eyes on my face."I had Asmodeus exempt you from the deal," he said in a hoarse whisper, his tone slow and calm, but inflexible. You're not obligated to do any of the stupid things he ordered you to do. You no longer have to comply with his stupid demands

«It's because you went there. Because you did something stupid and put your life and all of their lives in danger. "He's that upset about you." The voice in my head filled me with an overwhelming insecurity.—I-this is for agreeing to go there ? —I urged in a futile effort to find out—. Hey, it-it wasn't like I had too many options. Asmodeus threatened Hythro, and if he didn't take me away, he would have..."It's not just that," he interrupted me. The harsh, sullen tone with which she spoke made me want to shrink in on myself.-So what is it? —Desperation, the one that was making my breathing begin to accelerate more and more, made my tone rise—. W-do you want to cut me off from this completely? Do you want to solve it alone, perhaps? Do you want me to forget everything Asmodeus could do to us if we don't comply with his damn demands?Azazziel took a deep breath and looked back at my face. The gesture was so immutable, so strangely calm that I couldn't believe that, even though I was

I felt like my stomach was turning. I almost felt dizzy. I felt like walking away, getting away as quickly as possible, but the rejection I felt towards him took me by surprise and I just stayed there."I don't know," I admitted in a whisper.Azazziel gave a half smile.—I think you don't want it. And, in fact, I don't want it either.I looked up and, for some reason that confusion and lethargy did not allow me to understand, the stinging in my chest increased. A few seconds later, when understanding finally dawned on me, an overwhelming emotion washed over me.—You're going to leave…It wasn't a question, but he shook his head in a dry nod anyway.That single gesture was enough for the whirlwind of painful emotions to become more vivid , to enlarge its size inside me and increase the amount of damage it was going to cause.My breathing began to accelerate."So, that's all?" Is that what will happen? That you will resolve what is happening to me and my damn soul and I will separate my

I had to wait a few seconds to try to dissolve the lump that had formed in my throat.- Did you lie to me?His eyelids closed again for a few moments as he sighed with a certain air of boredom."In many things," he admitted. What Asmodeus said was true, I didn't find you because I was walking on Earth. "He," he shook his head. That last one almost made him laugh. He had entrusted me with a task and I found you only because he was evaluating the situation of humans for the Apocalypse. He sent many of us to different parts of the planet. I spent several weeks assessing the population in adjacent towns before arriving in Portland. And on one of those strange days I ran into you by chance…” She paused, just as his gaze dropped to the ground, immersed for a few moments in his own memories. I didn't tell you the truth when you asked because..., I don't know. I was just worried about the idea that you might have me.I clenched my jaw, crossing my arms.—And because you wanted to trick me...

-So it is true. Your life there remained the same as it was before you met me.A wrinkle of confusion crossed his brow and he tilted his head slightly. She opened her mouth to say something, but a second later, as understanding dawned on her features, he closed it abruptly as he silently denied it.He let out a sound that was halfway between a grunt and a tired sigh."If you mean he was with other people while he was trying to have something with you, then you're in a bad way," he muttered, a fortuitous anger beginning to emanate from his expression. "The last time I tried to have something with someone, it was the same day you summoned me with your bracelet to ask me to save Claire," he said in a slightly lower tone, looking away with what seemed like discomfort, and suddenly I felt that I wanted to cover my ears so as not to hear him. That time you interrupted something, but I didn't mind leaving it to come to Earth because I heard your voice in my head. You seemed distressed and I

I didn't know why, but what I saw of him was worse, just as bad, or even worse than the other two, but somehow it affected me more.I slowly opened my eyelids, but I couldn't continue speaking. I couldn't move my lips and reveal to him what it was that shocked me so much, that made me feel so bad. That opened my eyes and brought out the disappointment and aversion that I was currently feeling towards him.Because it was. It was worse . I saw him doing the same thing as Khaius, only he wasn't being controlled. Azazziel was not forced. He did it for pleasure, for the pure evil that ran in his veins, with which he was born and which was inherited from his father. I saw him immersed in ancient battles without the slightest compassion for his adversary, unable to differentiate between the strength of a human and that of a demon, because the black reflection showed me that he could murder both species in the most vile and bestial way without not even feel a single ounce of guilt. I saw him

And that was enough for a whirlwind of contradictory emotions to collide with each other inside me.—Like the one it was before? —I blurted out through clenched teeth, completely unable to control the tremor that took over my hands—. My parents are ten feet under, Azazziel! I lost my friends, my job, everything! How is it supposed to go back to the way it was before?!-Are you alive! —She bellowed for the first time in all this time, and as she always knew how to raise her voice louder than me, I shrank in place and swallowed saliva in an attempt to relieve the lump in my throat. He set his jaw, anger and displeasure taking over his features. That's the only thing that matters. And yes, you lost a lot of things, but you are now here alive, and you have no idea how important that is or what we sacrificed to make it that way. So grow up and take some responsibility in this too. Yes, I screwed up, but you had something to do with it too. Because I could have loved him very much, but noth
