Chapter 26 | The truth hurts more than a knife.

My eyes opened slowly.

I awoke in the bedroom, Lucas sitting on a chair beside the bed, his hand holding his sleeping face up. A smile bloomed on my face before reality came crashing down. Daniel had grown up and now, in hell he's back to cause danger.

I had truly lost my brother.

While I had only been here for a few years, he had grown up and became a man who had lost his sister long ago. I didn't want to think about how much it would have hurt him to have found out I was alive and living as queen in hell.

My heart hurt.

Had I been foolish to fall in love? Maybe I should have fought to get away from Lucas in the very beginning. But, for once, I was glad I hadn't.

"You're back? What happened love, did you find him?" Lucas's beautiful voice made my heart crack.

Then the tears fell as I sobbed.

That man wasn't my brother. Daniel would never had hurtin anyone. I sobbed, explaining what had happened. The type of man my brother had become. The evil he had chosen. I sobbed and sobbed until my throat burned and my eyes felt heavy and I had run out of tears.

Lucas just held me closely, stroking my hair. I knew he was silently fuming and planning something. He was mad at the situation.

"I want to save him," I croaked softly.

"Can you?"

Did I honestly think I could? I sniffled.

"No. But I need to be the one to stop him," I spoke so lowly I wasn't sure he heard me.

"What do you need me to do?" Lucas asked quietly.

I didn't know. I didn't know anything but I knew I would protect those around me. I would protect my future child, and my family.

"I want to meet the council, Daniel is going to start something and we need to be ready. We have Cronas and Daniel to deal with now, it not just a castle affair," I tried to sound as emotionless as possible.

I needed to do what needed to be done; I couldn't let my feelings get in the way.

"Cloud," I looked up at him, and he smiled softly, "I love you ok? We will do whatever needs to be done together."

I couldn't help but smile at that. Waiting until Lucas left the room, I pushed myself up on weak limbs and pulled on a pair of sweat pants and a work out bra. I needed to find Abaddon, I had questions for him.

***

I found him in the garden doing push ups and stopped when he saw me walking over. As always, his face held no emotions and I took a seat in front of him.

"Found your brother then?" he asked leaning to do sit ups.

"How do you kill a rotting half angel?" I ignored his question with my own and he froze.

As if I had stated something to highly offend him, the angel jumped up with wide eyes. His wings unfolded as if he hadn't meant to and he looked down at me like a terrifying statue.
