the devil cries

the devil cries ■ chapter three

When the afternoon came, I was still inside my room. Yes, they already gave me the room that I was in when I thought someone abducted me. They said that I could even redecorate it the way that I'd like to. It's not like God will care.

My hand was playing with the white bed sheets as I was thinking about the way I'll redecorate this room.

Maybe some grey? I'm a big fan of grey.

Just not pink. I don't like pink.

My thinking session was disrupted when I heard some voices or... thoughts? They sounded like whispers but I couldn't see where it comes from.

Still nervous, i listened in to their conversation in case they were some burglars that plans on ruining my curtained life here. Damn.

"You knock."

"No, why would I knock?"

"Because you're the one who suggested on calling her so she could join us. We'll be eating."

"There'd be bloodshed first before I knock."

I widened my eyes. What bloodshed? Why would those idiots think of eating me and spilling blood on these pretty bed sheets?

I started to feel nervous for my life. What If accepting that eighth member thingy offer from Raphael led me to the end of my precious beautiful yet shitty life?

Keep Calm, Kassandra. You're being an idiot again.

"Great, Azi. Now the girl thinks we're demons out to get her."

"Whatever. I don't do knocks. I Just come barging right in, unlike you."

"Whatever, man. I'll do it. Just go back to Michael and the rest."

I sighed in relief after hearing those words. Although the demon thingy made me nervous about Divine Realm, I'm pretty assured now that I'm safe as long as I'm here. The Seven are here.

Then, I heard a knock on the door, causing me to cringe at my cheesy thought. Heck, why was I even thinking of that cheesy bullshit? Wait, fuck, i need to keep my mouth on check.

"Come in," I exclaimed, and the next thing I knew, someone was in front of me.

He had dark hair that covered most of his eyes since he was looking down and he wore white with intricate gold designs. He looked dashing, and then i was even more out of breath when he lifted his head with a sweet smile.

Fuck. You're not a hormonal girl. Not in this place, Kassandra. Not in this place. But Fuck.

Why do archangels have to be so hot?

Then, he chuckled causing me to turn red and almost run for my life. Fuck it. Kassandra, you're supposed to be a prim and proper girl. This is divine realm.

"Such colourful thoughts you have there, Kassandra," Raphael said, chuckling. I covered my face, which caused him to laugh.

"I knew that this day would come. I knew that this fucking moment would come that I'll embarrass myself in front of archangels. Excuse my language, Raphael," I said, facepalming and pinching myself.

"Hey, stop hurting yourself. It's fine. I'm just here to ask if you wanted to join us for dinner," Raphael said, and I furrowed my brows.

"Like... right now?" I asked, and then he slowly nodded at me as if it was obvious.

"Yeah. They're waiting for your answer there in the dining hall. So... what?" He asked, playing with his bangs which made him look cool.

"Oh. I guess. But I look shitty!" I said, and he covered my mouth causing me to widen my eyes.
