C496 - Thread of Hope- Part 3

After their lovemaking, Jungkook put his hand around Lisa's waist before pulling her to him so that he could spoon her whilst he nuzzled his nose between her neck and shoulder. She smelt like a garden full of roses that had blossomed just for his sake, and the scent brought a certain calmness in his mind.      

Lisa hummed in satisfaction, feeling Jungkook's nose brush against the side of her neck. She placed her hand on his. She felt him interlock his fingers with her fingers. Jungkook was a gentle lover in the bed, taking his time as both of them reached their climax. The silence that fell in the room felt comfortable and soothing. The wind strongly blew outside their room as if a blizzard was taking place, but the couple who were in each other's arms were unaware of the blizzard.      

As minutes passed, Lisa wondered if it was possible to bring Raphael back. Given the Devil didn't do anything for free, she had hoped Vladimir would have brought the card reader back. But instead, the Devil had offered them a deal to find an innocent person to sacrifice, in return for Raphael's life.     

"Why is it that Raphael ended up in Hell and not in Heaven? He was a good man, wasn't he?" questioned Lisa in thought.      

"Heaven probably has a high standard that picks only high quality souls," she heard Jungkook speak not too far away from her ear.      

"Do you think if I did something bad, the angels in Heaven would not welcome me into their place?"      

"Right now, I believe even if you killed an angel, they would still take you in. They worry what might happen if you were to one day go against them," stated Jungkook, and Lisa turned her body. Jungkook's hand loosened around her waist so that she could now face him. He then continued, "They are desperate to have you."     

"But I don't want to do anything with them," her eyebrows furrowed and Jungkook's lips twisted into a smile. Paschar was never around her, and it made little to no difference now with him being there or not. "How was he? When he was in the High House. Paschar I mean."      

"He listened only to Helena because she was righteous compared to the other demons. He was always quiet, intelligent and resourceful when it came to helping me. He never knew I was a demon and only saw me to be a vampire, not knowing until recently that I am a demon like the rest of them," he replied to her. Lisa had grown up in the presence of the fallen angels, and in that, some of her relatives, including her grandparents, had tried to kill her. Jungkook wondered if Lisa was trying to acknowledge Paschar as her father. "You can call him your father if you want to."      

Lisa shook her head, "I don't think we share a bond like that."     

"What about Vlad?" They hadn't heard anything about him since he had left the forest near the abandoned town. "Did you hear anything from him?"     

"Nothing yet. He must be enjoying torturing people in Hell. Did he do anything to you when you were at his castle?" questioned Jungkook with a frown.      

"I am fine. Vlad gave me tea to drink and locked me in the room when he sensed you arrival at the castle," responded Lisa.      

Jungkook rolled his eyes, "Crazy old bat." Seeing Lisa stare at him, he asked, "What happened?" She quickly shook her head.      

"I was just thinking how similar you both are," Lisa adjusted her position so that she could look at Jungkook without her having to crane her neck too much.      

"It is slightly annoying," admitted Jungkook, but Lisa could sense that both the grandfather as well as the grandson would work out things without locking their horns. Vladimir had mentioned about him being involved in their lives and she believed he would only want to stay here with them in the Hawthrone castle, and be part of the family as Jungkook was the only person he had. It was good to know that Jungkook had someone apart from her, who genuinely cared about him.
