I hid behind the column and watched as that monster held her body in his arms. He pushed her hair out of her bloody face and looked down at her with those soulless eyes. I almost stepped out to finally eradicate his existence from this world, but I couldn't right now. Not when he was throwing me a party.
I hated thinking this way, but Queen brought this upon herself. She was too nice, too soft for her own good...so terribly naive. If she had been with me all these years, she wouldn't have fallen prey to that low rank vampire.
I thought my little notes and lessons after all this time would teach her something about trusting the wrong people, but I'm afraid they didn't. She was the same scared little girl that I knew so long ago...
I paused my thinking when I thought back to her not running from me in the hall today. She turned to try to face me, but I was the one who cowered away.
I never knew she'd be coming back to Jeradua so soon. The last I heard she had finally settled into her life in Heaven and I gave up hope that she'd ever come back here...back to me. Feeling her presence back here a few weeks ago was what finally sparked the fire in me that brought me back to life.
I almost cried when I saw her. The resemblance she carried of her father through those brown eyes and that single beauty mark above her cheek made my heart splinter. I missed him more than words could explain, maybe that's why I couldn't leave Queen alone.
As joyous as it all was, my happiness was crushed after finding her with Lucifer's son. I still hadn't forgiven him for everything he did, and if it were up to me, they'd both be burning in that Hell he created. An innate part of me would always belong to Lucifer, but I hated him. He hated me too.
I watched as Syn picked her up from the floor and began walking down the hall as her limp body left a trail of blood on the floor. I whispered a spell, wrapping an invisibility cloak around myself and stepped out of the shadows to follow him. As soon as I did, Syn turned around, his red eyes scanning the halls most likely from the sudden dark energy that was radiating off of me.
His eyes landed on me and I gasped, thinking that he saw me, but when he turned back around and continued walking, I relaxed. His calmness in this situation was astounding to me. His eyes were already red indicating that his emotions weren't of his control anymore, yet here he was.
He walked into a bedroom and placed her lifeless body on a bed before standing back up and running his hands down his face. A guttural growl escaped his mouth before he grabbed a lamp beside him and sent it shattering to the floor. There it is. His fist created a hole in the wall and everything within arm's reach was obliterated by his anger. Everything except her. My poor girl was lying facing the Heavens with her hair fanned out on the dark pillow. Her angelic face lacked any tinge of life, yet she looked more peaceful than she had since entering this forsaken world.
