Chapter 16

(Adrian's POV):The Demon blood was plunged into her heart by a Demon. I panicked, I swore my life to protect this girl. She was destined for great things in all universes. Yes, I knew other angels from other universes. And we have all pledged our lives to keep this little one safe, and now that the Demon blood has entered her system who knows what could happen. I don't know why or what I did next but I did it with pure instinct.

I knelt to the ground next to the spasming girl and reached for her. I guess that's when it happened; I felt a hand one second then I felt nothing except not being able to move, I was paralyzed! I was confused until the prince of Hell walked out from behind me, and grinning like the maniac he was. He knelt on the ground and picked her up. But not before kissing her roughly right in front of me. Once their lips collided she stopped spasming and lay limp in his arms. Next all I saw was red, in my angery state, I wish I realized what he did sooner. Before it was too late!

I broke free of the spell and charged him without thought. He quickly dropped the girl and charged me. We collided and he pulled out his trident as I did with my blade and we clashe. I managed to mark him and leap out of the way before he could land a hit. He fled with his little demon, and I raced to the girl. I ripped the syringe out of her chest, I ripped open the top of her shirt to see the infection spreading fast throughout her entire body. It is spreading all over her body, and she'd be revived as one of Hell's servants, aka a Demon! And a powerful one at that; she could wipe us out completely!

And I couldn't let that happen, I knew I couldn't. And I didn't know what to do since she was already dead. The infection spread through the vessel. So I did the only thing that came to mind, holding the syringe in one hand it was filled with pure Angel blood. Then I injected it in her heart; through the same hole the Demon blood was injected. I snapped my fingers and a black cloak, shirt, and pants were there. I dressed her and wrapped her in a new cloak. Picking up her lifeless form, I flew straight out of Hell as quickly as possible. When I surfaced and reached Earth I was swarmed by other angels. They looked confused at the sight of me. But they were more focused on the black bundle in my arms.

"We were both injected with Demon blood, she was injected in the heart. What do we do now? She's dead but the infection is spreading rapidly." I said.

"Adrian?" My brother Sahil asks.

"Yes, but we don't have much time!" I tell them.

That's when Brax addressed the elephant in the room,

"You injected her with something didn't you?"

"I injected her with my blood yes; but we need to do more or else there's no hope, she's dead but will be back again soon!" I warned the others.

"Right!" And we all took off going to the same place.

Lestaire huietol. It's a safe place for Angels, once we got there I placed her down in my room, and we began to discuss the plans and what to do next.

"Well, obviously the vessel needs one thing. Something able to hold her and her added powers and strength." Brax spoke first.

I nodded, not looking at him; I knew what we needed to get. But the others didn't. My level of intelligence escalated 10000 times higher than theirs. And no, I'm not saying their dumb. I'm just saying I've been the longest at the moon goddess's side. I can't let them know; or else the world could get knowledge about this power. And put a target on the girl's head!

"Go check on the girl again." Broc tells me.

I stood up trapped in my thoughts about what she needs to survive. This bond is like an unknown land to all of us, angels included. Since it's so powerful, I shared my blood with the girl so only I can have a bond with her. And this bond has a price. It may seem little, but in reality, it's bigger than what the universe can give. I opened the door to see the infection crawling up her neck, this infection is turning the girl's skin ash black. And by the time it's done, her eyes will be white, and she will have black skin. Whatever we do has to be done now, or else it's too late.

"Brothers get in here!" I yelled and all seven of them came barreling in and gasped.

"We have to do it now! If anyone has any ideas, go for it!" Broc said.

"I know, but you have to leave! None of you can know what happens because of how dangerous it is." I told them.

They all ran out as fast as they could, shutting the door on their way. I slowly walked to the bed and sat beside the peaceful looking girl. I looked at her, to be honest I have always watched her and how she grew up. You could say I was her Guardian Angel, but we all know that isn't true. She has a mate! And well me; I'm just a mystical being that is supposed to watch over her and protect her.

Ok, here goes nothing. Pulling her onto my lap, my wings unfurl like a curtain around us. I shoved my wrist into her face and forced her to drink my blood.

Third person's POV: If only he noticed the pair of green and black eyes that follow him out. Lexia was recovering from the infection, and her skin was recovering from the infection. So she was in quite a shock to be able to stand. She walked down the hall towards the angels but before she could see them, they sensed her and zapped out of there for a few hours. Lexia was hell bent on getting home now, no longer in the mood for otherworldly problems and creatures, her world surely had enough.

He had to tell her about the bond, at least explain these situations. Not to mention talking to Knox, he had to not die while explaining the bond. But most importantly, Knox needed to be aware of Adrien's activity in Lexia's life. Telling them sooner than later is better than never.

Lexia's POV: So it's been a few weeks since I got out of this cabin-like building with weird markings on it. And I got back to Knova, Jayne, Bren, Arin, Lana, Xern, and Xavier. But some things keep happening, weird things. Like I feel as if I'm going crazy, oh and did I mention that Knova has me on bed arrest. literally! She has me cuffed to the bed. But back to those weird things that keep happening; it's unexplainable, except for the heightened senses. But no I haven't told anyone about it yet and I'm not planning to.

Whoosh

I whipped my gaze to the window to see a very familiar face. Wait, so it wasn't a dream? I looked at him and he froze, I grabbed my phone off the night table.

'Adrian? What are you doing here?' I typed on my phone.

I showed him and he looked away, sighing. He answered, and it wasn't what I was expecting.

"I need to know if you're alright, not to mention I have to tell you what happened and then I need to talk to Knox. He's gonna kill me by the end of that conversation . . ." He was rambling on and on.

He was nervous? I patted the bed beside me and his eyes went wide. He shook his head frantically and I don't know why.

"When Scarlet injected you with Demon blood, Bates and I charged each other and he fled. Then you died, I pumped some Angel blood into you and you came back. Ummmm, also expect a visit from someone today." I knew he wasn't telling the whole truth.

But I can't say anything so I went over what he did in my head and my eyes widened. No wonder I feel this way towards him, he had to initiate a bond to bring me back. Only what type of bond?

'What type of bond is this, I know because I can't feel it when you're around.

"A mind bond." He muttered

The sky began to get dark, so I changed into pjs. Good thing no one was home when he was here. Who knows how that would have gone down if the others found an Angel in my room. Might I remind myself that I'm still on bedrest. I was just getting ready to jump into bed when a noise caught my attention outside.

Swoosh

I checked the balcony, and found it empty. So what made that sound?But then made the mistake of turning around. Standing two meters from me was Nicolas, and he held a dagger. I ducked just in time or else he would have slit my throat. I had no weapon, guess going old school is the only choice! I put my fist up and before he could land another hit on me, I saw them. Behind him, was another Reaper, only this Reaper was about to kill Nicolas!

Shinnnnnnng

He was beheaded, and the Reaper stood in front of me.

"Child, did the other Reaper do his job and tell you what's going on?" It said,

I shook my head, and this Reaper looked pissed. Not at me but at the Reaper before me who dissolved into me.

"Well kid, us other Reapers are reaching our limits. And then we found you. We plan on making you immortal, and to make you the last Reaper—if the other Reaper dissolved into you then it begins, tell me kiddo where is he?" They ask.

I pointed to my chest, and it nodded then came at me but dissolved into me at contact.

"You will be the strongest!" Was the last sentence it said.

I allowed myself to walk to my bed and pass out. Looks like I got that 'visitor' today that Adrian was talking about.

I woke up energized and excited! For what? No freaking clue! I've had the same sentence in my head all morning.

'Hayden McClane. 45. Toronto. Ontario. Bev street. 5:58 PM'

And I have no clue why? It was currently 12 PM in the afternoon, and it was raining softly. I was getting more and more antsy and energetic. But why? I guess I'll know when the time comes, but for now I'm stuck here. First priority is to get back to my universe where my friends are freaked out about my disappearance.
