Truth
Darius rushes towards me and pulls me into his embrace. I sob clutching his shirt with my fist, my whole body shaking with the intensity.
I cry for the loss of the mother I don't remember, I cry for the father who is present at the same time not present.
I cry with relief knowing deep down somewhere in my heart that he will come for me. I cry because my mind is a whirlwind of confusion. I don't know if I should believe what my mother said or should let it go thinking that it might be my imagination.
But the things that followed me for a few minutes are real. I don't know what they are and why they were following me.
That scary voice I heard is real. The shape of the person in front of me is real. My bruised feet are real or is it this forest playing tricks on me?
First, it gave the illusion that those things are running as fast as I am. Then when I saw them close by, they were barely walking.
Can it be the case where I imagined them? I just

He nodded his head at the guards stationed outside.He made his way down into the dungeon, where they locked Catherine earlier that day. He reached her cell which is guarded by the royal guards.As soon as Thea took off in her car, Max called me and explained the situation. Even though he was angry with Max for not following her, he comprehended where he is coming from.He is guilty of his sister's behavior and he cannot risk more of his Angel's anger when she already feels betrayed.Immediately he sent out few guards to follow her and they did go out in search of her after only a few minutes difference.Unknown to anyone, there is an invisible gate on that road which only a few people can open. And his Angel seems to be one of them.That gate leads to the Dark World. There are so many dangerous creatures down there who
Althea Welcome to hell
Past lifeAlthea pov"Who the hell are you" Azzazal asked the girl who sat on his bed cross-legged.She raised her head from the book she was reading and lazily waved her hand and got right back into her book.He snatched her book from her fingers to get her attention."Who are you and what are you doing in my room," he asked slowly as if questioning a child.She got up from the bed with a bright smile on her face and extended her palm introducing herself."Hello, I am Althea. Guardian Angel""Ya.. and I am god. Nice meeting you" he said sarcastically."You don't remember me?" she gasped in surprise."Nope" he folded his hands and raised his eyebrows as if waiting for her to explain."We met in the human world near the lake and a week ago when you came to meet the priest".Towering over her he looked at her much closely."Wait.. I have seen you somewhere" he brows furrowed with concentration."
Althea My personal hell
PastAzzazal's povI heard her talking to someone from behind my closed doors. I panicked thinking that whoever it is, she might get in trouble. There's no one here who will help her.Why did I ask her to leave? I should have let her stay in here until I could figure out something.I have to go and bring her in before she attracts too much attention. This is my wing, mostly she might be talking to a maid.When I almost opened the door, I heard Lucifer's name. So she is talking with Lucifer.Good, he is a good guy despite his shortcomings. For now, she will be safe with him. But I need to send her away sooner rather than later.I never forgot about the girl I first saw a year ago in the human world. Time runs slower here.But in the human world, it just flies by. A year there is just a month and a couple of days here."Who is she," I thought to myself when I saw a beautiful woman laying down on the grass amidst the
Althea Who is Azzazal?
PresentThea povThea was startled awake by the weird dream she had.The thing is Darius is named Azzazal in her dream and there is another man called Lucifer whom she called her brother.This dream doesn't make any sense. Where was I ? And who is Azzazal?I never got such weird dreams in my lifetime. But all of a sudden now. What is happening with me?Darius and that Azzazal guy look alike. Both their features are similar but their nature is slightly different.Darius is intense and caring. Azzazal has an edge but not as intense as Darius.Darius is possessive In nature, at least with me he is. That guy seems to be nonchalant to say the least. He acts indifferent.Darius is ruthless when he sets his eyes on something.He always runs in the gray area, almost skirts too close to the wrong side.Azzazal seems to know what he is doing is wrong but he does it anyway for the sake of his family.Darius doe
Althea Adopted
What happened and what I expected from my father are completely different. Max is my brother, my brother. He is not my stepbrother.Now thinking about it all makes perfect sense. The way he used to care for me from the very beginning. The way he came and announced himself my best friend. The way he became aggressive and protective when Melanie and Catherine were humiliating me.He instantly changed to his big brother mode. He was always supportive, he never questioned why I don't want to be Darius. He supported my decision to take my time with my decision and clear my head.Few hours earlier :"I made a mistake Thea. Will you forgive your father" my father requests with a shame-filled voice."Please don't talk like that father" I try to get up from Darius's lap, but he simply pulls me back firmly against him.I guess I have to talk from here itself. I am feeling embarrassed and Darius seems to be comfortable or he simply doesn't care.
Althea Where did you hear that
"What" Darius growls.I Shiver at the authority in his tone. I didn't mean to say it out loud. He is a possessive guy, listening to someone else's name on my lips will anger him. I know that, but it kind of slipped away."I.. I.. last night" I stammer.He waves his hand and others shuffle outside."Where did you hear that name Angel" his voice a bit gentle this time.How can I explain it to him, that I had a dream about this guy? Will he find it silly, or will he think that I am making things up or worst he might think I am trying this as an attention-seeking tactic.Come on Thea, this guy likes you. If he can't understand what you are going through and your confusion, then he doesn't deserve you. You will get a certain clarity about his nature and it might help you to decide. Tell me already.With that though I tell him everything."I had a dream last night....."His face relaxes the moment I start and an amused smil
Althea Missing
Thea:As Darius was busy with some work, Thea was left with Max. She did not get to speak with him after she came to know that, he is her real brother considering the situation that he was adopted."Are you still angry with me" Max asked hesitantly.I looked at him, he is looking at me with hope.No, I am not angry at him. They are trying to protect me from my past. If I go by their words, I was there when my mother died. I don't remember anything. But my father said that situation triggered my memory loss.So they don't want me to go through that rough path again."What's done cannot be undone. I don't know what happened then. But I cannot force you to remember something, which will hurt you. That must be the reason why your grandfather never forced you to remember that" my father said yesterday, when he confessed about his relationship with Catherine and Max."No Max, I am not angry. I forgot so much about our childhood. I wanted to
