"Are you sure about this, angel?" Harry asked me as his emerald eyes scanned thoroughly my face.

"You told me you were going to help me get revenge." I reminded him. "If you're having cold feet about it then just say so, Harry."

"I am not having cold feet, Raiza." He said a little annoyed. "I just don't want you to do anything stupid."

"Classifying something as stupid it is subject to subjective judgment." I pointed out. "It will all depend on your point of view so we may differ from each other."

"It is not subject to subjective judgment if what we are classifying as stupid is related with risking your life." My boyfriend fought back.

"Are we really going to have this moral behaviour chat right now?"

The curly haired demon was about to answer when Niall showed up and drifted my attention. He walked up to me and hugged me tightly. "Hey darling, how are you holding up?"

I hugged him back and buried my head on his chest. "I don't know, it honestly feels like I'm in a never-ending nightmare. But I'll be better once I carry out what I have to do."

He stepped back a little and looked at me with a confused expression on his face. Before he could ask what I was up to I spoke. "You talked about something called 'The Knife of The Fall'." I said looking at Niall; he nodded. "What is that?"

"It's the only thing that can actually kill a demon and make it never come back again." He said.

"Can that knife hurt or kill humans too?" I asked, remembering Zayn had aimed that weapon towards me. I was the original target.

"I'm not aware of any deathly effect on humans." The blond haired demon stayed pensive for a few seconds and then spoke again. "Any severe injury inflicted by the knife seems to immediately kill the demon and the host - even injuries that, for a human, would not necessarily be fatal. Minor injures, for example in hands, cause extreme pain even if the demon survives."

"Raiza." Harry called my name. He took my hand and pulled me closer to him. "I know what you're thinking and if that was what you mean by revenge-"

"Then you know there's no way of stopping me." I cut him off. "I'm going to get that knife and kill Zayn."

"What?" Niall asked astonished. "No, no, Raiza you can't do that. You're going to put yourself at risk. It's Zayn who we're talking about."

"Zayn doesn't think I'm capable of killing him." I said. "He won't see it coming."

"I'm not going to let you do it." My boyfriend said.

I turned my face and looked at him. "He killed my best friend, Harry. I'm not going to let that slip away. I'm not going to-"

He cupped my face and kissed me with such passion that I almost forgot why I was here, how I was feeling, he made me forget about everything. Harry broke the kiss and pressed his forehead against mine, still cupping my cheeks. "I know you're hurting right now but I can't lose you."

"You're not going to lose me, silly demon." I smiled at him while caressing his face. "You'll be with me all the time." I took the ring hanging from my neck and showed it to him. "'It's the only way I have of protecting you when I'm not around, angel'." I mimicked his voice, which made him laughed a little.

"At least with that ring I know for sure that bloody bastard won't be able to lay his hands on you."

"That means you got my back on this?"

He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. "Yeah, I guess we could say that."

"Just please be safe." He begged me. "I'll be near just in case you need me, okay?"
