The Devil Within

Back alive

"I told you she was not dead you dumb asses" that has to be coven.

I shoot up eyes open. I see three faces so close to me that I would end up slapping them but I don't. Coven, Alia, and Zyphr. Their eyes are red, puffy like cherry like they haven't slept in years.  I see Alia crying, Coven dancing but also crying, and Zyphr letting out a sigh, running his hand through his mop of hair walking back. Confused, I squint my eyes with the light. Why is it too bright? Why are they crying?

oh, I just awoke from the dead.

I sit up on the bed, I then realize that I was in my room. "Hey people," I say casually as nothing has ever happened also more like a drunkard. I was weak, of course, I should have known that. Two people squeeze that crap out of me, I think I will probably end up dying with two of my best friends squeezing the crap out of me. I hugged them back just as tight with all my strength and I see Zyphrs eyes locked with mine, smiling. He stood there, waiting for me. Maybe my life isn't bad after all. Every bad thing is over, that's all I ever wanted. "Everyone thought we lost you, we were so scared," Alia says pulling away "AND after all that you say "hey people" Coven says and quotes my words just like how I slurred it. I give an innocent smile. "how long was I out?" I ask "Three days" Coven mutters.

Three days? what? It only felt like minutes with Elektra. I wanted to tell them about Elektra but I didn't. "I don't understand a thing, what happened E?" Coven asks and I look down at the floor. "I have three bodies in me." I pause and I can feel their glare and their mouths hanging at my statement. "What-" Zyphr speaks, finally. "Erebus, my body and the body of the goddess" I hold up three fingers.

"You had Erebus in you?"

"You had  the goddess in you?"

"You're the goddess."

Coven and Alias raise a question, but Zyphrs was a statement. "Did I stutter?" I finally look up at them. It took them a moment to finally take in. Coven immediately connected both his palms, bowed, and shook his head. What the- "Please don't send me to hell, godess. Ill never steal your ice cream ever again," he said. I laughed. "I'm not the goddess Cove, she is just an element in my body," I say, before he could take back his apology I cut him "Since you finally apologized after all these years, I forgive you" I smirk and he opens his mouth, while Alia and Zyphr are laughing. He always stole my ice cream and never apologized, instead he made me apologize for eating it without him. Coven is glaring at Alia but she waves him off "Let's give those two to go all lovey-dovey" she gives me a wink, drags Coven, and walks out. 

Zyphr walks and sits beside me. I feel nervous, why? I wish I knew. He places his hands on mine and I relax at his touch. Strong but gentle. "Are you okay?" he asks and for a moment I melt into his voice but I just hum. "you have to rest" he whispers stroking my hair. "Did you even sleep?" I question and he gives me a small smile, no. "I'm alright, I have you now," he says before I can even say anything. I look up at him and he is already looking at me, his eyes so passionate that they missed nothing. He lifts my chin gently, cupping my cheeks, and the next moment he was kissing me and I was kissing him back. Our kiss was perfect, like thousands of fireflies rose, like sparkles. His scent of pine that I would die for surrounding me with a million electric butterflies shooting up inside me, he was gentle at first then it was rough, passionate, more like this was everything he wanted which I did too.

We pull away but his forehead is locked with mine "oh hell, you're beautiful and brave" he whispers and a shiver runs in my spine. How can someone be this deadly gorgeous? well, now Zyphr is. I smile at his statement. "I love you," he says softly, "I love you more," I say. We both smile, looking at each other until my door flies open. Zyphr and I both gape at what happened.

Noam runs towards me, acting like he was crying. I least expected him, hell I didn't even want him here. "My princess," he pants fake sobbing and I gape at him and I could feel Zyphrs jaw clenched so hard. Only Zyphr could call me that. I am his princess. "How could this happen to the love of my life," He says and then he sees Zyphr and glares at him. I AM HIS WHAT?

<<<<<<<<<<hey>>>>>>>>>

AHHHH, well that happened. Also, I am thinking of putting an end to my story, but I realized I had a lot of open wounds if I finish it. o, I am wrapping up with another 5 chapters, and boom that's it. We have one more bad guy to catch and I have left a hint on it ;).
