Angels Redemption

Chapter six: Falling

(Damen's pov)
"Please! Please leave him alone!!"
This is what I'm hearing right now. Someone is screaming to someone else to leave someone alone. And I think it's Brad and his partner. They're a gay couple and I think the guards finally realized it. I lay on my bed, and stare at the ceiling. Don't get involved. A voice in my head says. So I don't.

"Please... Please I'm begging you..."

His sobs rack through my body, and they pierce my brain. Someone just end the suffering please! That voice screeches in anger. I turn onto my side and throw my pillow over my head. But Brad's wails can still be heard through the itchy material.  I close my eyes and count to 10.
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
"No!! Stop please!!!"
6...
7...
8...
9...
10...
Silence then a piercing scream.
Scream!
Groaning I get up and walk to my door. I see that Dave's and Brad's cell door is open, and three guards stand inside. One guard has Dave, in a strong hold while Brad pleads to have him released. One officer steps forward and says "you are violating the rules of this prison. You know the rules. One of you must be punished." Brad pleads some more, and Dave goes deathly pale. "Please give us one chance. Only one I'm asking, no begging , you to give us one more chance. Please" The guard not holding Dave, and not interrogating Brad, looks upon these two men with sadness. His own eyes prickle with something that I can't place.

"Release them!" The third guard shouts. The other two pause then do as told. "Michael why are we releasing them? They are not aloud to have a relationship in here. They are breaking the rules." Michael-the third guard- shakes his head and says "that's a dumb rule. Let them be. They are not harming anyone."
"But-"
"I said release them!!!!"
He roars then turns and storms off. I back away from my cell door not listening to them anymore. What's going on here? Why was that guard so nice? Choosing to wait to answer that question I head back to my cot like bed, lay down and close my eyes. The vision of those claws from that monster that awaits me, slices through my vision. Blackness takes over....
Then I'm falling...

(Saraphina's pov)
"well I don't know why you'd be jealous of me. I'm plain, boring, not very fun to be with, I'm decent in looks. I mean look at you! You're gorgeous, it's like God's hands made you specifically to make us humans feel shame about beauty. You make me look like something somebody drag in from outside. My family is a mess and we fight a lot. Mom used to get drunk all the time, her boyfriends would abuse her, my brother and I. My best friends ex was a psycho path and my boyfriend is trapped in hell for ten years!!" I can't shake her words out of my head. I am now flying to the realm of hell to check on Rafael to see how he's faring. I land on the front steps quietly and silently. Walking to the front door I pause when I hear a distant voice say "Rocco come here boy..." I smile and my heart rate picks up. It's him. It's Rafael. I enter the house and walk to the living room. I stand in front of the fire and wait for him to come inside.

I hear a door open a few minutes later, and I get all excited. I hear the padding of feet and then the clicking of nails and I see a huge mutt walk past. I tense but the dog walks past me unnoticed. Hmm... Weird. Then I hear it. The sound of soft feet whispering as they barely graze the floor, then he appears in the entrance way to the living room. He is staring at the ground muttering to himself, so I decide to play a little game. I transform who I look like so that when he looks up it'll seem as if Iris is standing right in front of him. Genius! My mind howls. I look at myself in a mirror that's on the wall and I see Iris looking back at me. Shaking off the nerves I wait. He doesn't look up. I wait a few more minutes and watch as he sits in his chair. Then I walk over to him, stand behind his chair and lean down whispering in his ear "hello my love"

He jumps. Whirls around and his eyes widen. "I-Iris? How are you here. It's impossible" "no it's not my dear. I had someone do me a favour. Aren't you happy?" He nods, "I'm over thrown by love and happiness for you" my smile turns bright and I walk to him. Sliding my hands over his shoulders-my stomach tightens and swirls with emotion- I hug him close to me then pull away and look in his eyes. "You haven't changed a bit my love" he growls and says "you look tired" I nod but say nothing. I grab his hand and say "tell me how you've been?" He turns away and looks utterly broken. My heart yearns to heal him. But I'm not his Iris I'm only faking her.

Still my mind mumbles faking her is better than watching the man you're falling for love someone else and not notice you. So my mind made up I grab Rafael's hand in mine and take him to the chair he was sitting in. I sit us down and wait for him to speak. Once he starts I listen intently, never once interrupting him. He talks about how it's been so lonely, how he's been so sad, angry, wondering, curious, anxious, nervous. He's been worried that maybe I- well not me but Iris- would have changed. He goes on to tell me that he still loves me -again not me but Iris- and everything he says about her breaks me apart. The way his eyes glow when he says her name, the way his smile brightens, the way his soul jumps for joy. Everything about him screams IRIS. And it's tearing me apart piece by piece.

Finally he's done talking. And once he's done, his midnight blue eyes look into my emerald green ones -my eyes are actually brown not green- and asks "Iris how have you been my love?" I don't answer. Instead I get up and walk to Rafael, my mind screaming don't hesitate Saraphina. Do it! Kiss him, kiss him! I sit on his lap, grab his face in mine, and lean down. I smile softly, murmur his name, and connect our lips.

A/n uh oh!! Looks like someone is being naughty. Saraphina is faking Iris if anyone was confused. She's pretending to be Iris and so her features aren't actually her own, they are Iris's. Just thought I'd clear that up. Anyway next chapter gets a little bit hectic. Will Rafael figure out its Saraphina pretending to be Iris before the kiss becomes more, or will he make the biggest mistake of his life? Who knows...
Anyway please enjoy, vote and comment.
Thanks.
