For the rest of my life: raf x sulfus (angel's friends)

Chapter 18: Shock

I lean next to Sulfus thinking. I lay awake thinking. My whole world has just become a thinking process. I don't make any decision without thinking. I can't. I looked over to the clock with 2:00 a.m. in bright letters. I heard the soft snore coming from over next to me.

"Raf, what are you doing?" Sulfus asked as I got up.

"I just need some air," I said taking a room key and heading for the door, and before Sulfus could say a word I walked out. Typically, I wouldn't be comfortable going out alone at night. I just needed some privet think time. I needed more and more of that these days. I had too much to comprehend.

I walked out the side door of the hotel noticing a flickering street sign and a couple guys in the parking lot over. Nothing to worry about, yet.

I sat on the bench trying to collect my thoughts. I thought about Reina and about my child. I thought about the fact that Zane and Callie had a child of their own.

"I can always since when something is the matter, even from a distance," I heard a male voice call behind me. I didn't think before I ran straight into his arms and started to cry. His arms wrapped around mine and our halos flickered with one another. I had never seen that before. I was in the arms of Lucas.

"What was that?" I said pointing to the continued flickering.

"I have never noticed it before. I suppose it could be our powers linking to one another," he replied. I gave the situation a shrug and moved on the conversation. I spoke about my entire situation leaving out various details. He doesn't need to know everything, right? As I spoke his brown eyes got duller. He had a guilty look in his eyes, but why? What could he be sorry for?

The door from the hotel opened and found Sulfus. He looked straight at me not acknowledging Lucas. I turned back to where Lucas was standing and he had disappeared, and he took the flickering halo with it.

"I was worried," he said stepping towards me, "Is everything ok?" he added. I nodded in response then went back to looking into the sky as I had been doing previously. Sulfus took me by the waist and we sat and watched together, silently.

Back at the Golden School, the high and low spears were getting anxious. A representative from both the high and low spears gathered at the Golden School the discuss the situation with Sulfus and I to the professors.

"We simply can't leave them alone. God only knows what the hell will happen," the devil representative stated.

"We need to find them, then find a way to trap them. We could use the two, Callie and Zane, to lure them in once we find them," professed Temptel said. The Angels and Devils both nodded in agreement.

"How do you figure we keep them apart for the time being if we don't know where they are," Arken asked.

"I know a spell that might be effective, but there are some consequences. All angels and devils will be effected by this spell," the devil representative said.

"Please explain," the angel representative said.

"Well, it works like this; we cast the spell and all the angels and devils on this earth will be effected. They all will not be able to go within 100 feet of each other without being shocked, and we know after you break the VETO once, then you won't be affected by the person again with the shock, but in this spell anytime and angel gets 100 feet within a devil, they get shocked and vice-versa," the devil said.

"What about the other students, and their earthly ones?" Arken brings up.

"I suppose it's something to consider, but what other choice do we have. The whole universe is at stake right now," Temptel said. The four nodded and split. They all took a corner in the room of portraits, and the devil representative explained the spell. It would take a lot of power, so they need all four of them to cast the spell. Their feet dusted next to the walls giving each other space.

"Ready?" the angel representative asked. They all nodded.

"Separabis diabolo et angelis," they all said at once. Combining an angel and devil's powers can be very destructive, but they gave it all they had.

It was done. The angels and devils were separated.

The next morning Temptel and Arken gave a brief detail of what was going on, and that they would no longer be serving their humans. The devils partied while the Angels said their goodbyes to their humans.

The professors decided later on the school would no longer be accepting angels and devils to study at the Golden School. They ordered them all to go home.

Dolce, Miki, and Urie stayed. They transformed into their human forms and lived in the city still in hope I would come back to them, which was very untrue.

I was far from going back. I am happy to say I had already moved on. I sat with Sulfus on that wooden bench staring. I feel a shock, and then another.

"What the hell is that?" Sulfus said standing up. I shrugged my shoulders. I stepped back until I couldn't feel the shock anymore. By now, I was at least 100 feet away from Sulfus. "What the fuck is going on," Sulfus said pressing his lips together trying not to yell. Before I could answer, I felt the shock again, and Zane came flying out the door. I grabbed my chest and fell to my knees.

"Zane, get your ass away from her," Sulfus said. He walked to where Sulfus was standing and I was able to stand.

It was almost 3:00 in the morning and we were whisper-yelling at each other. Somewhat a basic Saturday night for me. I saw the door open and the two boys start to feel the shock, and Callie runs to where I am standing. We start to talk again about this strange situation, and wonder how it effects is in our human form.

"Maybe it has something to do with Reina," Callie said. I felt an earthquake and obviously everyone in the hotel could feel it because they were coming outside. Some were pointing at things, and some were just staring into the parking lot.

I could feel my entire body shake and all I wanted to do was run into Sulfus's arms. I turned and was faced with Quinn and a very angered looking woman. That woman.

Who was she? She took the form of a devil, but with the powers of both an angel and devil. I looked at her directly in the eye, and recognized her instantly. Before us was standing Reina.

"I realize you must have a lot of questions, and we can get all that answers later. Now I have one simple request. Hand over Raf!" she sounded so calm.

"Never in a day in hell would I give Raf to you," Sulfus said. I could feel his sweet words from here. I could feel his warm breath in my ear.

"How are you going to save her if you can't get near her. I honestly don't know who cast the spell of separation, but they did me a favor. I was able to use the discarded energy and get out of Limbo, and best of all I don't even have to fight you to get to Raf," she said, "Insidias in cavea!" A cage was formed around me, and it rendered me powerless. Sulfus tried to get near me, but me nor him could bare the pain.

Callie stood by me. She transformed, and tried to fight Reina on her own. "Be careful Callie," Zane said. she stood her ground until she finally passed out from the lack of power.

Reina uncaged me, and just like that. Gone.

Sulfus pounded the ground and, Zane tried to find a way to get close to the unconscious Callie. The people that were outside seem in shock, and some gathered around. They couldn't have seen Callie or Reina. All they know is that there was an earthquake, and then some blonde girl disappeared into thin air.

I was gone. I lost all hope as a prisoner of Reina. I couldn't touch the person I loved the most. I couldn't even move my arms because they were tied behind me. My eyes felt heavy, full of tears. I shed one then two. I felt alone.

I loved to be alone to think, but thinking wasn't a priority. I needed to get out of this state. I had to beat Reina, and hell, I would certainly try. I would try for Callie and Zane, my child, and Sulfus.
