"The boundaries of this world and the other?" Rue asked confused.

I nodded. "It's a place surrounded by darkness. The souls of humans and demons all gather together in that place; trapped for the eternity... You really wouldn't dare to go there unless you're fucking crazy."

"Wait, do you mean Raiza is in purgatory!?" The psychic girl scream as a terrified expression appeared on her face.

"No." Niall spoke. "Purgatory is is an intermediate state after physical death in which those destined for heaven 'undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven'." He looked at me with a serious complexion. 

I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms. He then turned back to Rue as I closed my eyes. I sighed a little annoyed. Why the bloody hell are we wasting time explaining to the psychic what the boundaries of this world and the other means when we could be finding a way to get Raiza back as soon as possible?

"The place we're taking about is no man's land." Niall continued talking. "It is destined for the cursed souls, or the souls that were causing trouble to someone."

"Zayn." The black haired girl and I said at unison. 

"I remembered something yesterday." Niall said as he scanned the hallway, making sure no human was around. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. I had a feeling it wasn't something good. "When the doctor informed us about Raiza's state, that it seemed as her mind wasn't here... I remembered when I was about to take her soul... That night there was a Blood Moon."

As soon as I heard those words I stood straight and my arms fell to my sides; my eyes widened. "B-Blood Moon?"

"What does have to do the Blood Moon with Raiza being in those boundaries?" The psychic asked impatiently but neither Niall nor I replied. "Someone say something for fuck sake!"

"Blood Moons are believed to be a bad omen." Niall told her. "But for demons... It's a little different."

"We all want to save Raiza so just be straight forward with me. I'm not exactly a 'normal' human either so stop straying."

"My apologies, Rue. That was not my intention. But you're right." The blond haired demon smiled at her and then made a little bow. "For demons a Blood Moon double-edged sword. It can help you fulfil what you have in mind and gain unimaginable power but there will be a price to pay."

"A price to pay?" Rue asked.

"Zayn most likely sacrifice certain amount of souls to get the job done, along side with the willing help of another demon." Niall winced remembering who that demon was. "Or maybe he did a trade... But it's just speculation. I'm not entirely sure."

"That's how that bloody bastard manage to do it." I muttered under my breath. "He had it all worked out." 

I had remained silent until now, just trying the take in this new discover Niall had brought to light. Suddenly a wave of rage and despair ran through my body and I punched the wall in front of me, making a huge hole in it. 

"HARRY!" I heard Niall and Rue calling my name but my senses and vision were blurry. 

I felt someone grabbing me by my shoulders and taking me out of there within seconds. 

I had no idea where they were taking me until the sunlight hit my face and made me regained conscious. I blinked a few times and frowned when I looked at my hand bleeding. I opened and closed my hand as I watched the injure heal. 

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Suddenly Niall yelled at me. His eyes were black, which was really rare for him. "FUCKING CONTROL YOUR IMPULSE!" He pushed me to the ground and that was when I lost it.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING PUSH ME! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" I yelled back. I quickly got up and pounced on him. "DO YOU FUCKING WANT ME TO KILL YOU NOW HORAN, UH!? IS THAT IT?"

"GUYS! STOP!" The psychic screamed, getting between us. "Behave yourself! God, what's wrong with you two assholes!? This is not the time to fight."

Niall glared at me and then walked away from me. I glared at him and fixed my jacket. Fucking unbelievable. 

"Fucking unbelievable?" Niall said, turning back to me annoyed. "YOU are fucking unbelievable! You're acting like a complete selfish child right now! You fucking think you're the only one suffering because of what happened to Raiza? She means something to all of us. She's fucking important to ALL OF US!"

"Niall." Rue called him, trying to calm him down.

"No, he fucking needs to listen to this!" He said. I could feel the anger through his black eyes. "You witnessed how it was for me! How I ended up! I thought you would've learned from my experience. Instead of letting your feelings build up inside you, fucking be a man a talk about them! Stop being a coward and fucking express what you're feeling before you get us all into a bigger trouble because of your childish behaviour!"

I was just standing there, perplexed and not available to make a sound after Niall harsh 'reprimand'. He was staring at me, waiting for me to say something but instead I looked down and clenched my fists. 

No one said anything for a few minutes. I guess after what happened there wasn't too much to say.

"Let's go back to the hospital. We can't leave Irene and Raiza alone for too long." He suddenly said. 

"W-Wait, what about the security cameras?" Rue asked worried. "They must have caught Harry punching that wall and almost destroying it."

"I'll take care of it." Niall said. He then looked at me. Suddenly he started walking towards me and within seconds grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pushed me up against the wall. "But I can't clean up every fucking mess you make, H. So bloody put your shit together." He warned me. "Raiza needs you." The blonde demon let go off my shirt sharply and then walked away. 

I watched him disappeared in the distance and felt slightly annoyed with myself. I ran my hand through my hair in despair. Fuck. 

"Harry, do you-"

"I'm fine." I cut Rue off. I knew what she was going to say and no, I didn't need to cool down. "Let's just go back. I need to be with Raiza."

I started walking but all I could think about was in what Niall had told me.

You fucking think you're the only one suffering because of what happened to Raiza? She means something to all of us. She's fucking important to ALL OF US!

You witnessed how it was for me! How I ended up! I thought you would've learned from my experience.

Instead of letting your feelings build up inside you, fucking be a man a talk about them!

I stopped in my tracks and turned to Rue. "I'm sorry." I blurted out. 

She looked at me and blinked a few times perplexed. "Uh?"

"I said, I'm sorry." I repeated. "I know we never got along but we both care about Raiza. So I'm sorry for my behaviour towards you lately, and towards everything really. It's not your fault and I was taking it out on everyone."

"Don't worry about it, Harry." The psychic smiled at me. It was a sincere smile. "I know you worry about Raiza more than anything and that she's the most precious thing in the world to you. You're just going through a hard time right now so it's understandable why you act like that." She got closer to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "But everyone is having a hard time because of what happened to Raiza. I know she's your rock but you're not alone, you have us as well."

A crooked smiled formed on my lips. "Thanks, psych." 

"Don't get used to it though, demon. You know psych and demons don't mix so once Raiza wakes up we'll be deathly enemies again, understood?" Rue glared at me but I could tell she was repressing a smile. She didn't believe that shit. 

"Understood."
