Chapter 4
"Y-Y-You aren't real!" stuttered, as I watched his fingers twitching.
"Yet here I am, right in front of you." He said smoothly. His voice was melodic. The more I watched this...this demon, the more I realized he was absolutely stunning. Tall, dark, and sexy. I felt my cheeks heat a little as he moved closer and closer to me.
"Go away!" i yelled. "Someone; help me!" I screamed hoping a nurse would hear.
"Don't bother, no one can hear you right now, you've been cut off from the world outside this room." Damaged said. He was within arms reach now, the panic and adrenaline were pumping through my system faster and faster.
"If you're going to take my soul, at least grant me the mercy of answering two three questions." I said, trying to stall while I thought of a way out of this situation.
Damaged stopped advancing and seemed to contemplate my idea. Slowly, the black of his eyes receded, until they were a deep brown, his teeth flattened out, and his claws retracted.
"That seems fair..." He said, smiling sheepishly. "Ask away." He said.
"O-Okay..Um why...why am I unworthy of my soul?" I asked, I thought about the window, but I was three stories up, I wouldn't make that jump without breaking something, I thought about rushing for the door, but he would just catch me. That's when I realised I would have to get him out of the way, knock him over or something. I formulated the best way to get him out of the way, and waited for my chance.
Damaged's POV:
I contemplated her question, at the same time I watched her. Her Emerald eyes, sliced through me. They made me feel human. "Because you risk your life, like you're looking for death, but you manage to survive every time you get into a dangerous situation. Risking your soul for no good reason, is the perfect reason to take your soul away." I answered. Lynoia looked shocked. She didn't expect that answer; she thought it would be something larger than her dares.
"Oh..." She said, her eyes falling to the floor. I cursed myself inwardly, her emerald eyes were no longer analyzing me. Then I mentally shook myself. What was I thinking? I shouldn't care about whether or not she's looking at me. My job is to take her soul; to kill her. I didn't have time for this. "Second question; were you the one blocking my sun the other day?" She asked. I felt my cheeks heat, how did she know that was me? This wasn't happening. "So it was you..." She said.
"Yes...it was...How did you know?" I asked, fear running through my chest, Lucifer would kill me if he knew I interacted with her.
"Ah-ah-ah! She said shaking her head. "I'm asking the questions." She seemed braver now, she was planning something. I felt myself bristle. "Third, why does someone, who is clearly evil, smell like Purity?"
"W-What do you mean?" I asked, completely confused. I felt my face heat up, she thaught I smelt like purity, what was wrong with this chick, what was she doing to me?
Lynoia's POV:
He looked confused, and his face gained a pink hue, this was the perfect moment. I took a quick breath before charging and slamming my shoulder into him, sending him sprawling to the floor. I stopped at the door way for a second to turn to him, he was watching me in astonishment. I turned away, a feeling of guilt swelling up in my chest. I had to get out of here, away from this place, so I ran. as hard and as fast as I could.
When I finally stopped I doubled over, breathing heavily.
"What is happening?" I asked myself.
"Lyn?!" Tessa's voice called. I looked up and she was standing in front of me in her PJ's, I hadn't noticed it until now but I was in front of her house.
"Tessa? Oh thank god! I need your help!" I said slowly walking towards her.
"What's wrong?" She asked looking suspiscious. "TRhis isn't another Dare thing is it?"
"No! i'm in trouble, I'm not exactly sure what's going on but I need you to get me a backpack of clothing and my bank card from my dad!" I managed to spit out.
"Lynoia; What's wrong?" Tessa asked.
"You won't believe me! please! Just ask Pan about when we were three! that's where you'll find me tomorrow night! I need you to do this for me; Pan will be able to tell you aright?" I asked in exasperation.
"Lynoia what's going on?" Tessa asked.
"Please, Tessa, the little you know the better... Ask Pan about when we were littl, SHe'll help you get everything you need, she'll be able to explain it all. Just please, please, please do this for me?" I asked again. Pleading with her to do as I asked.
"Alright..I get it, ask Pan..." She said with a sigh. "But promise me you'll stay safe..." She finished.
"I promise, Tessa!" I said, Closing the distance between us and hugging her. "Bye!" I whispered letting go and running again. I needed to get to the giant willow tree in Willow Park, That's where I would hide from Damaged.
"BYE LYN!" I heard Tessa call after me, resignation in her voice.
I clenched my eyes and ran, opening them again.
"I'll be alright, I can do this..." I thought to myself, running towards the park.
