DayaCold...An icy coldness wrapped around my entire body, feeling my jaw slightly quivering as all my senses gradually resurfaced back to reality.My wet lashes fluttered a few times before finally adjusting to the poor lighting surrounding me, hearing liquid lightly splashing around me as my limbs jerked, soon enough noticing the reddened water engulfing my completely bare body.The shedding process!My entire body jerked once again, tightly gripping against the bathtub’s edge as I struggled to rise my still weakened frame from the freezing ruby water, lightly wobbling as I finally managed to stand, only to suddenly feel myself losing balance as a rather loud rumble vibrated throughout the entire house.“AZRAEL STOP!”My eyes widened as I quickly recognized the source of that audibly anguished voice, with shaky limbs forcing myself to step out of the deeply colored water.Leaving a pinkish trail on the otherwise pristine white tiled floor, I weakly made my way towards the cabinets
“How can you even look your brother in the eye, with no remorse whatsoever?” I practically screamed at him, blinking back tears as I took a glance back towards the intimidating archangel, just in time to notice the equally shocked expression plastered all over his features, also faintly hearing a small gasp in the background.“Daya, I-”“No,” I harshly silenced the fallen archangel standing so close to me, coldly gazing into his stormy grey eyes as I so venomously spat out,“Raphael may be evil, but at least he’s true to his own feelings.”Visible hurt shimmered in my father’s stormy gaze, rendered utterly speechless as I stared back at him, before my gaze shifted to the evil fallen in question, silently taking in his roughly beaten-up appearance as those dark, haunting eyes watched me that whole time with such intensity.I did this...It’s my fault.My eyes then darted to the young, half-angel girl still lightly shaking, even though she was safely cradled in her brother’s embrace, fee
Silence engulfed the whole spacious room for what felt like eternity as we so quietly stared at each other, my mind still revolving around those specific moments just a few hours ago back in the backyard.His bright blue eyes held my own for a few moments longer, not even bothering to hide the hurt and despair pulsing so vividly inside of them as he almost pleadingly uttered,“You know you don’t have to do this.We can always leave this place and-”“And what?” I suddenly found myself asking out loud,“Go back to that wretched place we used to call a home? To that monster who calls herself a mother?” I watched him cast his gaze somewhere to the carpeted floor, quickly rising up from my seat as I could practically feel his anger and frustration only growing, lowering on my knees right in front of his sitting form as I quietly said,“I’m sorry, Rem, but I can’t do this. Not anymore...”I took a moment to swallow the growing boulder threatening to crush the inside of my throat, tightly gr
Drip…drip…drip…The small lights plastered against the ceiling flickered from time to time, faintly illuminating the once pristine white restroom, flashing glimpses at the utterly gruesome scene laying all over the small-tiled floor.From the stalls to the four identical sinks and all the way towards the entrance, large splashes and pools of dark red littered around, chaotically mixed with brutally severed human limbs, the whole image generally creating a truly grotesque sight to see.Yet...small, labored breaths filled the otherwise completely silent space, indicating the presence of only one living and breathing being.A single one being, placed in the center of the whole macabre painting, like a misplaced piece sitting in the middle of the mangled mass, crouched like a frightened little child facing its worst nightmare.All wide, her vibrant green eyes followed the thick rivers of crimson, watching them stretch from the tips of her trembling slender fingers and fall into the large
My bare feet padded on the lush green grass, the cool breeze fluttering in my bloody red curls as I ran straight towards the darkened forest at the back of our yard, moving as fast as I could, as far as possible away from the cold-hearted monsters I used to call family...“Daya!”“Daya, please come back!”My mother’s high-pitched voice echoed through the darkness from far behind as I drifted through the dense forest further and further away, not even taking a glimpse back.I couldn’t take it anymore...First, they forbade me to go to school after that unexpected and horrifying incident, and now this...Tears prickled at the corners of my eyes, for the second time remembering her exact words...“...from now on, I also forbid you to go in town...ever again...Why can’t you understand? You are a danger to those little humans!”No! I refuse to be a prisoner in this realm too!I desperately cried at the back of my mind, dashing through the woods like my life depended on it, feeling the hot
My trembling hand skimmed over the brown old pages, the light provided by the small flashlight shakily dancing over the book, my slightly labored breathing being the only sound reaching my ears as I sat hidden behind the huge chair, hurriedly skipping over the words."...a fallen angel is a wicked or rebellious angel that has been cast out of Heaven...”“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into Hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until judgment...”...vile creatures......turned into demons...”My lips escaped a small gasp, instantly covering them with my hand, the moment my ears picked up the sounds of footsteps echoing across the corridor, quickly switching off the small flashlight, now hugging the old book tightly to my chest as I sat completely still, afraid of being caught.“What are you doing?”A small, terrified shriek tumbled out my lips, only to instantly calm down, the moment I looked up and noticed my brother staring d
I laid myself curled into a fetal position on the huge bed, slowly closing my eyes, remembering all those horrible moments...All that blood...Those limbs scattered everywhere...All those people...Loud screams echoed in my ears, my hands roughly gripping the sheets beneath me, keeping my eyes tightly closed, small tears already making their way over my face.I’m sorry...I’m so sorry...I didn’t mean to...I kept mentally repeating, my lips escaping small sobs, burying my face in the soft pillow, feeling that burning pain creeping its way inside my chest once again, those horrifying screams only growing louder...Daya...“Daya.”A familiar, rough male voice called, my eyelids quickly fluttering open and I instantly jerked up, finally noticing my brother sitting on the bed right beside me, his pale features showing genuine concern as he stared down at me.“What happened?” He softly asked, his bright blue orbs roaming all over my face, surely noticing my recent crying activity.“I...”
Sitting on the old wooden bench in our rooftop garden, I continuously stared at my own fingers, those images replaying themselves over and over again in my head.His hands all over my bare skin, our bodies completely naked, that intense sensation flowing inside me and those weird sounds my lips kept escaping as he kept touching me...Our bodies conjoined...This is so weird...I sighed, feeling so...conflicted...Never in my such long life have I ever felt this foreign sensations...I was so used to feel that same, pure disgust...everytime a man tried to touch me -well, maybe because they were mostly forced...but still...This...this felt so...different...So...intriguing...“Child, what are you doing here?” A familiar, feminine voice suddenly echoed through the glass-built large room, my gaze instantly snapping up, only to notice my mother standing just a few feet away, her body covered with nothing but a white silk robe.I quickly took a glance at the sky, ultimately realizing it wa
