"Don't worry. You're safe now." I smiled at him. "We're safe."

The little boy looked at me and smirked, slowly shaking his head. He tightened his grip in my wrist turning red the skin beneath it.

"Uriclef, what are you- You're hurting me." I said, trying to cut loose of his grip.

The boy started laughing with a deep evil voice. Suddenly his bright blue eyes turned black and his skin got paler. "This is not even close to what I'll do to you."

"NO!" I screamed.

I was breathing heavily and my heart was beating really fast. I could feel the cold sweat running down my face.

"It's ok, angel. It's ok. It was just a nightmare, Raiza." A husky voice whispered as I felt a cold hand in my cheek.

I turned my face to the side and met a beautiful and unmistakable pair of emerald eyes. I didn't realise Harry was right next to me. He was caressing my cheek and as soon as our eyes met I was pulled into his arms.

"You're here." I whispered against his chest.

"Before you get mad at me because not giving you space, my stubborn independent girlfriend, just know Rue called me to come here because of what happened at dawn." Harry said in a sweet tone camouflaged with concern.

I raised my head and looked at him. "She what?" I asked afraid. "So you-"

"Yes, I know everything." He cut me off.

I stayed in silence for a few seconds not really knowing if he was mad or worried. "I'm alive, aren't I?" I said, giving him a big smile. He looked at me with a serious expression that made me feel small and careless in his eyes.

Suddenly he stood up and left me sitting alone in my bed. I looked down at the sheets feeling stupid. I had risked my life by coming here alone and Harry had warned me. I guess it is his right to be angry after all.

Before I could apologize a silver sparkle appeared in front of my eyes.

His ring.

I touched my neck looking for my silver chain and then looked up at him a little confused. I thought I had brought it with me, why did Harry have it?

"Don't ever take this ring off." He said serious. I looked down; I couldn't look at him knowing he was mad. Soon I felt a weight beside me and then I felt his hand pulling my chin up to look at him. I looked away. "Raiza, look at me." Come on, Raiza. Just look at your boyfriend. No big deal. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. As soon as my hazel eyes met his emerald one his expression softened. "It's the only way I have of protecting you when I'm not around, angel."

"You're not mad at me?" I asked.

"No, I'm not." He placed a tender kiss on my lips and smiled. "You test my patience? Yes. You're fucking stubborn? Fuck yes. But I love you more than anything in this fucked up world and nothing and no one will change that."

I hugged him tightly and wrapped my legs around his waist. Harry laughed and lifted me up. "Tu es mon ange qui me sauve de mon enfer. Je ne suis jamais allé dans le ciel, mais vos lèvres sont ce qu'il y a de plus près."

"I don't know what it means but it sounds beautiful."

"You're my angel that saves me from my hell. I've never gone to heaven but your lips are the nearest thing to it."

"Are you saying with more beautiful words that you want to kiss me?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he gave me a cheeky smile.
