We finished baking the cookies and Sebastian started a fire in the fire place. We sat down and ate the cookies in awkward silence. "So is there anything interesting about you?" I asked hoping it wouldn't cross any boundaries. "I'm the devils right hand man." He said. "I know that, but I would like to know more about you." I said sincerely. I'm hoping he'll change his mind and give me something to work with. Truth be told I wanna help him. I want to get him into heaven. Maybe God will give him a second chance. "Libby." He said short. "What?" I said confused. "Libby was her name." He said pausing. "Was that who you were talking to?" I said softly. "Yes. Libby and I were close once. She was my everything. She was everything to me till they umm. Till she wasn't." He said. "What happened?" I said curious. I wanted to know more. I needed to know more. I could see his entire body language change at my question. "Never mind you don't need to answer that question." I said retracing my thoughts. "No it's fine. She was taken from me a long time ago. It was the worst day of my life. I regret not putting up more of a fight." He said lowly. "I'm sorry." I said reaching for his hand. He pulls away. "It's getting late, we should get to sleep." He says getting up from the floor. "Yeah." I said disappointed. I walk to the spare room. "Goodnight." I said quietly. His head nodded and nothing more. I wish he'd open up more.

It's morning and I get out of bed. I walk out and see Sebastian sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee at the table. "There's coffee if you want some." He offered. I nodded my head. I grab a cup from the top shelf and pour the coffee. I feel a hot sting land on my fingers. "Ow. Fuck." I winced. In a split second I felt Sebastian rush to my side and grab my hand. "Are you okay?" He said. His strong presence was standing behind me. "Yeah. I'm fine. I just burned myself." I said. His hand was still intact with mine. I sucked in breathe. "I need the cream and sugar." I said softly. I looked up at him and followed his eyes. His eyes slowly drift down to my lips. It's almost as if he's becoming lost in them. His eyes meet mine. I see pure lust and desperation. As tempting as this is we can't. I pull my hand away. "I'll be okay." I whispered.

Ever since this morning Sebastian has kept his distance. I would be lying if I said I wasn't either. I stayed in my room and kept my gaze on the trees and sky outside my window. Beautiful. It's cold and rainy. The sky is the perfect shade of gray. Reminds me of home. Me and my best friend would make cookies and hot chocolate together. Then we'd watch our favorite movies. I miss her very much. I turn my head and see Sebastian standing in my door way. "Reyna, let's go outside." He said. I was surprised he'd even offer me anything given what had happened this morning. I followed him anyway and he led me to a small gazebo a few feet away from the cottage. "I was sixteen." I said. His face turned into confusion. "What?" He asked. "I was sixteen when I first fell in love." His face hardens at my words. "Oh." He said. "His name was Adam. At sixteen he was my everything. He was sweet, kind and caring. Gentle too. But after a year everything changed. I was seventeen when he started getting aggressive. The first time it happened was when we had gotten back from a date. At the restaurant our waiter kept hitting on me, and Adam wasn't happy. I was flattered by what he was telling me but it didn't mean I had taken a liking to him. I told Adam that he's the only guy for me. I tried to reassure him but he didn't care. He slapped me in the car. I had never cried so hard before. He told me I deserved it for being such a whore. I got home and thankfully my mother was sleeping. The next day he was sweet caring Adam. But it only got worse. He'd come to my house extremely drunk and he would start to take advantage of me. I tried my hardest to push him off of me. I had never felt so helpless and weak before. I had no one to tell. My mom wouldn't believe me because she believed Adam was a good kid. My father thought I was exaggerating. I felt so alone. It happened so many times. I started having nightmares a few months ago. Each one worse than the last. I felt like I was reliving it all over again." I said looking over at Sebastian. "I know it's a lot, but I figured you might as well know." I said with a soft smile appearing upon my lips. His face cold. His voice soft but harsh. "He'll die." My eyes widened at his words. "Sebastian it's fine. He'll get what he deserves one day." I said reaching my hand out towards him. "One day? Why not now?" He said. I could feel the heat rising up from the surface of his skin. "It's fine." I said softly. His skin drew sparks of small flames. "No it's not fine. Reyna what he did to you was horrible. I know I'm not one to talk because I'm here in Hell, but even I know that there are lines never to be crossed. Especially lines like those." He said as small flames emerged from his deep royal red blood like skin. "It was a long time ago, he knows what he did. And I pray that it haunts him for the rest of his life. I hope that when he has a daughter he'll realize his mistakes and become better. I do not wish ill on him." I said calmly. "You don't but I do." He said coldly. I felt something oddly comforting when he said that. "Thank you." I whispered. He turned to me. His face plain and expressionless. He got up and without another word he left.

It felt strange knowing this how life would end up for me. I never realized just how lonely he actually was. I know everyone says it's wrong to even care or think about this people, but they're just like us. They all had someone or something they loved and as life plays out it was ripped apart from them. To them good can only bring pain. Good is their evil. Whether we open up our minds or not, we're all connected in this somehow. Sebastian had someone he cared for deeply and they were taken away from him before he could hold on. They've all dealt with grieve and pain, and we don't excuse that for them. We're taught it's always their fault, that they did it to themselves. We never stop to think maybe they didn't choose this life. We never stop to think that they're just like us, till their not. I know Sebastian is tough but I'm willing to try and help as best as I can.
