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

Chapter 20: Escape the Fate

I couldn't escape my fate, but I had to help Sulfus. I couldn't just watch as the one I love died when I could prevent it. "Reina, tell me. How do you plan on killing him?" I finally gained to courage to ask. I looked at her back waiting for an answer. I sighted a small smirk come across her face.

"Why don't you answer that for me. You, after all are the one who will pull the trigger," Reina said as my heart stopped. What did she mean by I will pull the trigger? Does she expect me to kill the one I love? I chose not to ask because I knew the outcome wouldn't change if I did. My heart ached for Sulfus's arms to wrap around my waist. The way he would kiss my neckline was irresistible. His touch, his eyes, the way his comfort was all I needed. This was what I wanted.

~The Golden School~

*Sulfus's POV*

"Sulfus you're going to have to stop dwelling on this. I realize it's hard for you, but it's not going to help us find Raf," Angeli said. I understood what she was saying, but I couldn't hear her well enough to take action yet. It was simply ringing in my ear.

I needed to touch her again. I needed to feel her body next to mine one last time. I knew it was a small chance, but I had to use my 7th sense. It was worth a shot. I sat down in the chair with all eyes on me, my eyes closed trying to connect. Even if we are angel and devil, no one has a love as strong as ours. I can find her.

I focused my mind directly on her. Her voice is so sweet in my mind and her taste of mint and bubble gum rings in my mouth. I yell her name, and feel Angeli's hand placed on my shoulder. I feel the way my mouth molded with hers. I can hear her voice now. The crying that I can't stop. I can hear her scream. "Raf," I say, my mind picturing her. My voice is calm and stable. "Where the hell are you, baby?" I say again and again in my mind. I know she can hear me. I can feel it.

"Sulfus, I'm here," I hear that sweet voice chant. Her tone is so broken. "Be safe. They plan to kill you," she repeats twice. I can see the blood staining her. The deep cuts that scar her. I can feel it all.

"I will be careful. I'm trying to get your location. I need to find you my love," I stand up.

"Please don't. I don't want you to get hurt," she says her voice cracking. I think about her request and deny her. I couldn't bare leaving her for my benefit.

"Be careful please. I love you. Can you find me?" She asks.

"I know now where I can. I love you," I say and faint from exhaustion. My nightmares of Raf haunt me. It's all I can think about. All I can dream about.

I hear everyone surround my unconscious body. They all speak at once and can't make out a single word said. All I can hear are the screams of my beloved.

*My POV*

Reina got to me. By saying that she was going to kill Sulfus wounded me. How could one person be so cruel? I tugged tighter at the chains in an attempt to break free. I used my nails to scratch at the metal chains holding me. "Quinn, keep an eye on Raf. If anything happens to this child while I'm gone, you will pay," Reina said.

"Where the fuck are you going to go? Limbo is a maze," Quinn said. Her voice was harsh and winded. She walked up to Reina and I could now understand her tone. Her face was blood stained, and a scar covered her stomach. Reina walked away into the fog until not visible. "You're the one who will save the universe. Let's get you out of these chains," Quinn said.

"Wait, what about Reina? You can't free me, and get hurt for my benefit. I won't allow it," I say and turn my head. I try not to look into her eyes as she grabs my arms behind my back.

"Don't you see. I'm not only doing this for your benefit, but the worlds. If Reina gets ahold of your child, then the universe could be destroyed. Let me do this," Quinn said almost in tears. I nodded and she untied me. I felt my hands move in front of me and a slight smile creeped along my face. "Hold still, and I can get you out of here." I gave Quinn a hug, and I was off.

Seconds later I was on earth. I stood on the sidewalk watching people pass, and cars fly by. I stood outside The Golden School looking up. Something was different. Where were the angels? Where were the devils? I can only feel a few immortal souls on earth. I walked up the stairs making sure to check for any unwanted arrivals.

I followed the traces of the souls, and they led me to my old dorm room. I cracked the door open and only found Sulfus sleeping in my bed. His hair covered his eyes, and he was holding on to my pillow. It was cute, and I couldn't help but smile.

I walked over to the bed, and I ran my figures through his hair. His eyes flew open, and grabbed my arm. He took a second to realize who I was, but quickly got up and gave me a hug. His arms wrapped around me so tightly, and I returned it. "I miss the hell out of you," he said. He squeezed me tighter, and I grabbed the back of his jacket.

I looked up at him almost in tears and he tilted my chin up. "I missed you too," I said and pressed my lips against his. He bit my bottom lip tugging at it. His mouth was rough against mine, and then we broke away. I missed his taste so much.

"I have a simple request," I started and he stared emotionless into my eyes. I could read what he was thinking. he gave a simple nod and I continued. "I need to save Quinn. She sacrificed her life so I could save the world, and she is a part of that world," I said. He rubbed my lower back, and brought me into a hug.

"Ok," he said into my ear. He lifted me up and laid me down on my bed. He joined beside me and kissed my forehead. His arm wrapped around my waist, and I fell asleep for the first time in days.

*Limbo*

"I gave you one simple request," Reina began. She looked at Quinn who was smirking.

"I think I succeeded well," Quinn said and Reina let out a laugh. She stepped closer.

"Once we get that bitch close enough, we can rip the child right out of her. Then we can kill her," Reina said and Quinn agreed. Reina's laugh overtook to sound waves of Limbo.

"Once again I win little sis," Quinn said and laughed. Although, her laugh was anything but genuine. Perhaps a plan I would agree to, perhaps not.
