The In Between (Demon Reigns x reader)

"Can the Angel of Death kill him?" Y/N asked. Roman has been gone for two hours now and none of the demons has bothered to look for him, they had told her that they wouldn't be able to find him and he probably doesn't want to be found.

She has paced, pulled her hair, bite her nails and stress eat just to keep herself from overthinking It but there was no stopping that.

He should be back by now shouldn't he?

"I don't know." Seth replied. He sat on her recliner with his face buried in his hands, even he was becoming concerned about Roman.

"You should be out there looking for him because what if he is dead?" Y/N snapped, her voice beginning to break.

"They can't kill me, sweetheart."

Y/N jumped up from the couch and spun around to see Roman leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"If I could get to you fast enough, I would slap the hell out of you!"

"Don't worry I will for you." Seth announced and stood up to approach his brother. "What happened? You were gone for two hours."

Roman knew that if he told him and Y/N what had happened on that hilltop, she would worry even more about the angels.

"Nothing." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.

But Seth didn't believe it, he wasn't easily convinced.

"You expect me to believe that nothing happened in those two hours while you were gone?"

Roman grasped him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him towards the kitchen for privacy then he slammed his back against the wall.

"Drop it." He hissed. Seth looked into his eyes, something was different here and he was concerned.

"Tell me what you did and I will because I know nothing did not happen."

Roman growled lowly in his throat and he hesitated to admit it, he desperately didn't want Y/N to overhear but little did he know that she was eavesdropping.

"I killed her. I killed Charlotte."

Seth's eyes widened and it was at that exact moment he realized that Roman was capable of anything. His mind was racing with a billion of thoughts, but only one thought stuck.

"You started a war. You know they're pissed off, she's in more danger than she was before!"

"Shut up!" Roman snapped, he clenched his teeth together in anger. "They started a war with me. I warned them to leave her alone so if they want to continue on testing me, I was going to send them a clear message."

"It would have been different if you had harmed her, they're used to you doing that but murder Roman? That's a little too much, don't you think?"

"What did you want me to do? Let the bitch roam around and keep Y/N in danger and fear."

Seth stuttered for words, he needed to get prepared because he expected the worst. "I get what your thinking, but she's going to be in even more danger. I'm surprised that they're not here yet!"

Y/N felt the tears in her eyes threatening to fall and she couldn't keep quiet nor eavesdrop anymore, so she stepped away from the wall.

"So now what? I'm basically dead as we know it."

Roman and Seth's heads turned towards her direction and Roman released him, stepping back a few inches.

"No you're not, you're safe."

"According to Seth I'm not!" She argued and folded her arms over her chest. Seth looked at his brother.

We need to prepare for whatever they bring."
