55. Keep Her Safe

"Reign please answer me, look at me, scream at me this is all my fault."

Finally her head turned to look at me her eyes then glazed over completely black and she began laughing. A low dark hysterical laugh, as quickly as it started she stopped.

"Reign please say something."

Her head turned to the side a sinister smile spread across her face.

"You will pay for what you have done little girl."

The voice that left her lips was not Reign's it was deep and cracked and the end of each word.

"The power you seek will only help me to destroy you. You must be stopped death will fallow in your wake you are a poison on this earth and should never had existed."

I looked to Legion I didn't know what to do clearly this wasn't Reign talking. When I looked back to her and image of Beatrix flash in her place till it was all I saw Reign was gone.

"Reign listen to me you have to fight her. You can't let her control you please for your grandmother for yourself."

Beatrix began laughing again.

"The girl was weak easy to persuade her hate for you is strong."

"Your lying. I know she's sad about her grandmother but Reign would never hate anyone not truly she's a good soul, pure."

She began laughing again

"You took her family and her lover away from her. Her hate and pain caused by you runs deep and I'm here to help her fulfill her desire for revenge. By taking what means the most to you Little Wolf."

Her lover? Did she mean Reziel. Her laugh grew louder and hysterical. Her image passed back and forth between Beatrix and Reign. The objects in the room began flying all over I had to duck and dodge them. Then she appeared by the window a silver blade in her hand she waved it back and forth. It took me a second to realize what it was a Celestial blade. When I lunged at her to get it she vanished and everything in the room fell to the ground. My heart drop there could only be one person she would go after with that blade the meant anything to me.

"Legion you have to take me Azrael!"

Before he could reach me I fell to the floor in pain. A sharp burning in my side took me to my knees I reached to hold my side only to see blood on my hand my shirt was completely covered already. I painfully lifted my shirt to see a gaping wound just under my rib cage and a smaller one parallel to it on my back.

"Legion we have to go please take me to him."

When he reached for me I gasped in pain again this time the burning was in my arms fallow by deep cuts. Azrael was under attack again someone hurt Because of me. Legion took hold of my shacking hands and raised me to my feet. The wound on my side made it hard to stay standing Legion holding up all my wait wrapped his arms around my waist and under my arm.

"Are you sure about this Solaris?"

I gave him a sideways glance. Was he really asking me that question?

"Azrael is hurt if you couldn't tell."

I gestured to my side and arms.

"Whatever happens to him happens to me. I have to make sure he's okay."

I clearly knew he could handle his self. I haven't felt anymore wounds guessing the immediate danger has passed they probably just caught him by surprise.

"Let's go now please."

He nodded and held me a bit close and we disappeared the wind whipping around me I shielded me face in his chest. When the winds stopped I took a second before I opened my eyes and inhaled the scents around me and was bombarded by sandalwood and campfire. He was here and so close to me and in person. My heart started to beat frantically in my chest as I opened my eyes to look at him. He had Reign held up by her throat against a tree feet dangling off the ground. Her eyes blood shot as Azrael squeezed the life from her.

"She is mine and you will die for even the thought of harming her."

Azrael voice carried to my ear even though it has deep and half growling it played in my head sending goose bumps down my arm. I knew I needed to stop him but I was stuck just staring at him. Watching has his muscles ripped under his skin the veins protruding in his arms his chest heaving up and down. His eyes completely black Anubis at the surface. How I missed those black eyes I missed Anubis as much as I did Azrael. I felt Aurora stir at the thought of him. I willed my feet to move forward only to wobble as I left Legions hold. He quickly moved to my side and grab my arm to steady me. It felt like ages passed before I finally spoke his name my first try resulted in a rush of air leaving my mouth.

"Azrael."

It come out only as a whisper but I know he herd me his head slowly turned towards me his eyes flickered his bright crimson And to black

"Azrael please let her go she's possessed."

He never took his gaze away from me the colors still dancing in his eyes as he slowly lowered his arm Reign's feet touching the ground once again.

"Her intent is to kill you I don't care who she is."

He didn't let go of her throat. Keep his arm out stretched as she struggled to get free.

"Azrael please she's my friend Reign. It's because of her the bindings have been broken. She lost he granddaughter to free me I have to do whatever I can I help her. I won't be able to keep my promise if you kill her."

He looked from me to her the crimson taking center in his eyes as I watch his hand loosen and leave Reign's neck. Reign fell to the ground holding her throat gasping for a breath. She turned to look at me the black taking over her eyes again and stood as if she wasn't hurting.

"This is not the end I will rid the world of you yet."

Then she disappeared. I was left standing in front of Azrael with Legion at my side. Azrael's eyes shifted from me to Legions hold on my arm a growl escaping his lips. The warring completely unfazed Legion as he keep his attention on me.

"That's enough Reaper you can let her go I will take care of her now you may leave."

His tone full of authority. Legion still ignored him content with his gaze on me. I looked at him and worry was set in his usual blank face. He never showed emotion but lately I have seen it show it's self. I took hold of his hands and squeezed nodding to him that I could handle this. He let go and smoked away without ever acknowledging Azrael.

Now I find myself alone with the one person I have been desperately trying to avoid and the one person I have wanted to be with more then anyone in the world. I found myself gradually moving closer to him like he was the center of gravity I couldn't pull away.

"You've come back to me Little Wolf."

It wasn't a question and he already knew the answer. No matter how much I wanted to stay mad and hurt it was more painful to be away from him then anything he could do to hurt me. In that moment I realized I would eventually forgive him for anything he ever did I just hoped that whatever he has done and will do won't break me. Cause with out him at my side I'm hopeless and alone he's all I have and all I need in this moment and I need him for what lay ahead. So I gave into him and let everything go once I was finally wrap in His arms. His warmth engulfed me the heat from the electric sparks that shoot through me from his touch heated the numbness in parts of me I hadn't even realized turned cold.
