Chapter 20 | Another death falls upon us.

No one dared enter the kitchen while Savannah was in there. It was clear by the flour caking the floor, walls and ceiling made it evident why. My biggest question was how the hell did this woman get flour on the ceiling? Not that I'd ask her that, Savannah was a scary person.

Not only that, but she sat at the (surprisingly completely clean) table with a plate of a three tier chocolate cake in the middle as if it was the center piece. On the table were already two smaller plates and two forks.

"Sit, sit," she smiled brightly.

I approached with caution. A little bead of sweat dripped down my forehead praying this wasn't a trap. I sat down across from her and the knife gleamed before slamming down. I let a cut-off shriek out as the knife bit through the delicate surface. Insides splattered across the table and I felt pain. Another death and this one I felt completely bad for.

No wonder she got flour everywhere, this woman was a savage. The poor cake was almost a pile of chocolate now, half on the plate and half all over the table. She sent me an apologetic smile and placed some of the mess onto one of the other plates before handing me a fork. I thanked her and a little fearfully I took a bite. Surprisingly it was pretty good.

"So, why you ditch me yesterday?" She asked.

And I ended up telling her everything. Surprisingly the story came out in an emotionless narrative and I was grateful for that. It was horrible I was telling her how I killed the man I thought was my dad but surprise he actually wasn't and my life is a lie. She sat quietly nodding at parts and humming at others until I was done.

"And how do you feel about it?" She asked softly.

I looked at her with wide eyes.

"I don't know," I sighed rubbing my face.

The woman cut me another piece of cake and surprising myself I started eating it. Somehow this was very therapeutic. Hell, I was one step away from moaning this was suddenly so good.

"I think all those lies were to protect you, and I think they did. I know if I was in your situation I would have gone crazy by now if I didn't have those lies. But now, believe it or not you have a life here and yeah it's not perfect but it's pretty good. You have people who love you," she said softly.

I paused my cake eating. She was completely right. I couldn't hate those lies because they did help me. I was alone at the time and they helped me get through all the shit I was going through. But now I don't need them, I have everything I've ever needed and now I can move on and live without strands of the past weighing me down.

The truth was I was afraid of believing this because then that would mean I'd admit to never seeing Daniel again. The truth is however, he's either dead or he's living a new life somewhere. I had to put faith that he was living somewhere a new life and I had to focus on my life instead of spending every moment trying to find a brother I will probably never see again. A lump formed in my throat and I struggled not to cry.

"I mean on the bright side you didn't have to fight for Lucifer's love with other girls," she laughed darkly and my head snapped up to look at her with question.

She merely waved me off. I didn't ask her about that dark joke. It seemed Savannah's life wasn't as simple as I had thought. However, some things shouldn't be asked so I kept silent. She knew where I was if she wanted to talk.

"So what are you going to do now?" she asked.

I shrugged.

"I'm going to just live my life one day at a time. Abaddon said he'd train me to control my glory so I'm going to do that as well as figure out how to get you and Sora back to your place," I replied with a grin.

She nodded then a smile stretched onto her face.

"Thank you."
