The church's state of repair is deteriorating day by day. The Heavens have attacked more constantly than ever before. Battles drone on for days and nights. The catacombs became the housing, hospital, kitchen, and everything in between. Aether's room was the only one not ransacked in the beginning of the war, so that was your guys's room. Aether, Swiss, Sodo, Rain, Mountain, and you have been fighting in the battles, and luckily are all alive, "When will this be over?" Rain groans, bandaging the large gash in his arm, "When men can be men, which is never." Aether scoffs, wiping blood off of his hand. You sit next to Sodo, exhaustion filling your bones. He notices your eyes fluttering open and shut, with your head lolling forward. 

Sodo wraps his arm around your shoulders, letting you lay on him, "It's okay, Y/n, you can sleep on me. I'll keep you safe." He whispers, you nod, the sleep already taking over. Swiss finishes up stitching Mountain's back, the poor earth ghoul was unconscious due to the pain. You start to whimper, hearing the battle upstairs still waging, "Shhh, it's okay, it's okay." Sodo comforted, gently running his fingers through your hair. You curl into his legs more. Sleep has become harder and harder. Images of ghouls and siblings being slaughtered cross everyone's mind on a never ending loop. Sunshine was one of the first to fall. She was overwhelmed by too many angels, Swiss tried to save her, but he was knocked out. He survived, but she didn't.

Once you fall asleep, Aether picks you up and places you on his bed. He then moves to sit with Sodo, Rain, and Swiss, "Guys, has anyone heard from Cumulus or Cirrus?" He asks, groaning while sitting down, his body aching. Mountain still laid on the floor, his breath steady, "Not since last week." Rain whispers, sleep starting to take over, "I'm going to see Cumulus. I can't stay away anymore." Aether says, standing again. Sodo stands and grabs his friend before he can leave, "Are you crazy? You could get killed up there." He says, Aether only looks down on him, "So can she. I need to see her." He pushes him off and leaves the room, slamming the door behind him.

You shoot awake at the loud sound, your eyes growing wide, and unsheathe your dagger, ready to fight. Sodo quickly rushes over to you, "Woah, woah easy, easy Y/n, easy." He slowly takes the knife from you and sits beside you, "We're in Aether's room, we're okay." He says, starting to pull you close to him. You wrap your arms around him, squeezing his waist, and crying into his chest. He held you, trying to comfort you the best he could, but one loud boom made everyone wake up and stiffen, even Mountain.

A few seconds later, Aether slammed open the door Cumulus behind him, "The church is burning, we have to get out." Rain and Swiss help Mountain stand, Sodo held your hand tight and had you lead him out. You look back at him, "You go in front of me, I'll protect you." Rain yells your name, causing you both to run and catch up with the group. The chaos in the halls caused you and Sodo to separate from the group, but you did make it out of the basement.

The overwhelming scent of smoke and ash filled the air, choking your lungs immediately. After all, you were only human, and previous injuries have taken their toll. Sodo noticed you struggling, but didn't mention anything. You followed the crowd through the halls. A loud snap of wood caused you and Sodo to look up, a flaming beam fell from the roof. Sodo pushes you out of the way, the beam falling on him. He curses as his left leg is crushed under the wood, the flames not hurting him due to his elemental powers,

"Sodo, Satan, don't move." You say, adrenaline blinding yourself to the ring of fire now surrounding you both, "No, no ,Y/n go." He says weakly, trying to not let the pain take over his logic. If he was bound to die this way, at least you were safe, "No, no. I'm not leaving you." You say, starting to try and lift the beam. Your first few attempts at lifting the heavy wood didn't work. You hear Sodo mumble, "I love you Y/n." Then his eyes closed, "NO SODO!" You scream, a new burst of strength fills you. The beam lifts off of him, you push it away. Your hands were raw and hot from the flames, but that didn't matter. You wrap Sodo's left arm around your shoulders, your other arm supporting him at his waist. The flames around you grow higher and higher, more and more pieces of wood fall. You suck in a breath and run through the flames blocking the door. You throw your body weight into the wood, the dark sky and fresh air a calming sensation compared to the inferno now behind you.
