This Love Only Brings You Pain (COMPLETED) ✓

Chapter Thirty One

The battlefield was a whirlwind of emotions. Ava couldn't quite recall how she'd ended up here, the sword blazing in a flurry of blue light around her as she parried Vincent's attacks, the white noise of the gargling demons and the cries of the warrior nuns a distant record in the background. It was like a broken needle, her mind fluttering between the past and the present in a dizzying motion.

"Where the hell have you guys been?" Mary grumbled as she treaded through the water towards them, evidently not pleased at being left in the sewers for the past half an hour or so. She scowled at Ava, turning her attention to her fellow sister. "This kid didn't slow you down, did she Bea?"

Beatrice shook her head with a faint smile, still in a love sick bubble about the brief kiss they'd shared. "No. Of course not. Dylan is a few meters behind the corner, keeping watch. Let's do this."

Vincent slashed at her with his spear, fighting desperately to protect his beloved master. Ava could hear one noise inside her head now, the faint buzzing of a drill jackhammering through limestone. It was this constant buzzing that left her paralysed against the onslaught of God's enemies, as her mind was fogged by the memories.

"Lilith! Camila!" Ava called out as the couple startled from their spooning marathon, glancing down at the brunette with obvious surprise. Ava grinned with barely concealed pride. "Come on. The others are drilling through the wall as we speak, they're going to get you out. I promise."

It was current of sweaty of skin as the team pushed their backs into collapsing the weathered rock, coughing as dust sprayed everywhere. The demoness appeared from the rubble, cradling the younger woman protectively against her side, as if daring anyone to harm her.

There came the cracking sensation as metal pierced skin, Vincent smiling victoriously as he pierced the woman's organs as she stood there, numb to his cruelty. All she could hear was Beatrice's voice inside her head.

"And is there someone special?"

"Because I care deeply about you."

It was those six words that brought a smile to her face as Adriel grinned in delight, wrapping his greedy palms around the halo's limb as he tugged it effortlessly from her back.

"At last," he giggled with excitement, his voice having dropped ten or so octaves as the monster clawing at his chest fought it's way free. He was free.
"Vincent, you wonderful boy. I shall grant you all your heart's desires! For finally, we have WON!"

In the distance, he faintly heared Beatrice's bloodcurdling scream.

*Hi. It's been forever, I know. I'm trying to wrap this story up since I'm not as into the Warrior Nun fandom since the show ended. I love this book, but all stories must end. This isn't the end, though. We have maybe two or three chapters left to go. Even if this book ends, I hope you can continue to support my career as a writer. Have a lovely day.*
