For the rest of my life: raf x sulfus (angel's friends)

Chapter 26: Cry

We all sat in pure silence while his words were running through our heads. I could tell he wasn't himself. He was a darker Lucas. His time as a reaper wasn't his brightest time, if anything his weakest, but he shouldn't feel ashamed because it wasn't his fault. Yes, our conscience is a very dark place when you listen to it. It stays in his mind, all those people.

"Lucas, I know this is hard, but it was good that you told us. I know you don't understand, but you have nothing to be ashamed of. You were under-" Callie started.

"I was under Quinn's control. I've heard this a million times. What you don't understand is how it feels to kill a living human. I had their life in my hands. Yes, I was under Quinn's influence, but that doesn't change the fact that my face was the last face they saw before pure black surrounded their mind. I was it," his voice of concern brought the same feeling onto me.

"Never the less, Quinn will be stopped. For now, your feelings will have to be put aside for the sake of defeating Quinn and Reina. We will win," I was determined. I could feel my body begin the infuriate. I knew I wanted to destroy Quinn more than anything for what she did to Lucas. She can burn in hell for all I care.

"We should take precautions and move. I say we move father south like into Georgia or Mississippi. This should get us for now, then we can move west. We should go in the morning. This will give us all day to travel, and we can stop and rest in Mississippi," Zane suggested.

We agreed. "I think we should leave. We need rest," I said.

They walked back to their room, and Lucas and I were left alone. "Raf, how are you feeling?" Lucas was so sweet.

"I'm ok. I need to rest. My stomach hurts. I feel sick," I sat up and headed for the bathroom. Lucas followed me, and I threw up. This didn't happen to a full angel, but I was half human. I was way past the point of needing to throw everything up though. Something was wrong.

"Raf, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Do you remember when I got stabbed," he nodded. "I think the wound is interfering with the pregnancy. How is this even possible? I can feel a throbbing pain where it happened."

"We should get you to the hospital!"

"No, it will be too easy to get tracked there," I was in pain, but my mind was on tact. I knew I would be walking into my death if I checked into a hospital.

"I understand," he helped me up, and escorted me into the bed. "You must also realize what's growing inside Callie and you are going to be like nothing the universe has ever seen. Your child will experience something no one else has seen."

"You're calling her a monster?" I sounded offensive.

"That's not what-. Wait, you said her. Is she a girl?" he was surprised.

"Yes," I blushed. "I have known for a while."

"Does Sulfus know?"

"No, I was prepared to tell him, but I want him to worry about what is important to him. He doesn't need to worry about his baby girl, if he doesn't want to stay with her," I knew that wasn't his real objective. I had made a scenario to make the devil come out in him. This also results in the devil being present in me as well.

"I am here, and I will help in any way I can. As a friend, brother, or whatever you want me to do. I realize it's a devilish act, but I will help you raise your half devil, half angel baby girl. She will be perfect!" his words were so sincere. I trusted him. I also love Sulfus, and as I hate to admit this, I love Lucas as well. It was all down to determine who I was in love with.
