SAVE ME

Warren and Josty arrived at the Angel’s realm.

“Thanks for the food” Warren said.

“Anytime. Do you want to come in and see Alexa?”

“Maybe another time.” Warren said as he turned around and left.

Josty sighed as she watched his retreating back. “How long is he planning of avoiding Alexa?”she muttered under her breathe as she walked inside.

When she got to her room, she saw the girls all wearing gloomy faces.

“What happened?”Josty asked.

“Hermenes is in a bad state” Karina said.

Josty rushed up to Alexa. “Oh my gosh”

“He’s going to be fine. I stopped the bleeding in time”

Josty looked intently at Alexa “Is something else troubling you?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Alexa shook her head. “No”.

Alexa stood up from her room and went up to the high room to see Nana.

“Alexa, what brings you by?” Nana asked.

“Do you have any assignment for me?” Alexa asked.

She really needed to take her mind off Damen unless she was going to break down.

He’d let her go so easily and it hurt.

Well, she was the one who hurt him first so she’s sure he let her go because he hated her already.

But she’d hoped their breakup wouldn’t be that easy.

Now that things was over between them, the engagement between Queen Gezelle and Damien might take place and she would be forgotten.

“Alexa, you are crying” Nana said startled.

Alexa wiped at her cheeks. “It’s because Hermenes is hurt”

Nana hugged her as she slowly refrained from her. “I wish I could help you but there’s no assignment right now for you”

“Oh, I see”

“Sorry”

“It’s okay. I’ll find something else to do”

Slowly, days turned to weeks and weeks turned to month.

A month of crying herself to sleep every night and a month gone without seeing Damien.

When she’d thought no one knew her pain, Hermenes knew.

Infact he felt it and each time, his heart would break.

Nurse Rosa steeped into his ward  as she removed the bandage from his legs.”Your legs are finally healed, Hermenes”

“Thank you” Hermenes said as he ran out of the ward to the demon’s realm.

In the demon’s realm, Gezelle spined around in her white gown Infront of Damien “What do you think, honey?”

Damien’s mind drifted. He wondered how Alexa was doing.

A month gone without seeing her, feeling her, smelling her.

It was a month of pure torture to him.

Every night he’d gone to their secret spot and waited up for her till day break, but she’d never showed up.

Not even once did her shadow pass by.

Gezelle snapped her fingers Infront of Damien “Damien?”

Damien shook his head finally coming back to his senses.”Huh?”

“The dress”

“Ah, it’s beautiful”

Gezelle smiled widely “Really?”

“Really”

Gezelle wrapped her arms around Damien as she hugged him. “Thank you. For finally agreeing to this wedding”

Gezelle refrained from him “Rest up now, my darling husband”

She walked out of his chambers as Damien sighed deeply.

Hermenes barged into Damien’s chambers and dragged him by his collar. “So you really let her go, huh? Just like that?”

Damien pushed Hermenes away from him. “I didn’t let her go. She was the one who left me”

“She did it for a reason!” Hermenes shouted angrily.

“And I know that! But what do I do? Even if I go back to her she still wouldn’t accept me. You know just how strong minded she is, she’s your sister!”

Hermenes shook his head. “You know Alexa told me everything about you. She told you about Illinois and Latria too. If you were willing to go that far for them, why can’t you do the same for yourself?”

Damien clenched his fist. He didn’t like the way Hermenes was belittling his feelings for Alexa.

Hell, this was the first them he’d ever even felt this way!.

He didn’t reply Hermenes because he didn’t see a reason too.

Hell, Hermenes was one of those people that came to him to tell him to stay away from Alexa and now that she’d ended things with him, he’s the one getting an earful?

“Here’s why you can’t answer. It’s because you don’t love her like you say you do”

That word pulled at Damien’s last string of self control as he grabbed Hermenes by the neck ” DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT AGAIN! BECAUSE I’M GOING TO SAY THIS FOR THE LAST TIME, SHE’S THE ONE WHO LEFT ME! SHE’S THE ONE WHO DOESN’T WANT ME!”

Damien pushed Hermenes away. “Get out!”

“Just for the record, she’s at her usual spot”Hermenes said before he turned around and smirked as he left.

His plan had worked. He had angered Damien as he’d planned to do.

Now he just hoped that he would run to Alexa before it’s too late.

With rage burning deep within him, Damien couldn’t stop pacing to and fro in his chambers.

He couldn’t calm down and he didn’t want to give into his feelings either.

But it was too late. His legs worked faster than his brain as the next minute he found himself running to their secret spot.

Sitted on the ground crying profusely was Alexa.

She tried to stop herself from crying but the tears still forced their way down her cheeks.

When Damien got to the spot, he stopped as he heard her sobs.

“If you were going to cry, why did you end things between us?” Damien said startling Alexa and making her jump.

She turned around as she wiped her tears. “Don’t be mistaken. I’m not crying because of you”

“Really?”

“Yes.” Alexa said as she thought of how to change the the subject “What are you doing here?”

Damien took slow steps towards her. “Unlike a certain someone, I’m not good at hiding my feelings.”

Damien brushed his hands against her cheeks “I came here for you”

Alexa shuddered under his touch.

She’d missed him but she found a little zeal in her to back away from him.

She was about to walk away from him when Damien carried her over his shoulders.

“Put me down, Damien!”Alexa cried but it was to no avail as Damien took off flying in the air to a desolated cave.

When they got to the cave, Damien dropped her down as  Alexa shivered.

She was familiar with this cave. Everyone was. This cave was cave Bescos.

It was kept out of bound from everyone because it was said to crumble anytime soon.

“What are you doing, Damien?” Alexa asked in tears as Damien stood inside the cave.

“You want us to be apart from eachother Alexa but since I can’t live without you, I’m going to fulfill your wishes this way”

Tears trickled down Damien’s cheeks slowly. “This cave is going to crumble down in 10 seconds”

Alexa shook her head rapidly” Stop it Damien, don’t do this. Please come out!”

“Will you take me back then?”

“Is that important right now!?”Alexa cried as she saw the cave slowly rumble.

“5 seconds left, Alexa”

“Fine! Fine. Now come out, please!”

Damien smirked but as he was about to come out from the cave, the cave came crashing down with a huge force.

“Damiennnnnn!”Alexa shouted as her eyes widened in shock.

Did this just happen? D-Did she just loose Damien forever?.

That’s impossible.

She rushed to remove the stones searching earnestly for any sign tht Damien was still alive while crying profusely.

Why did he do this in the first place?.

“This is all my fault.”Alexa said in tears as she kept on removing the stones.

She felt someone drag her from behind. “Let go off me!”

“Stop” A soft voice said making her heart drop to her stomach and turn around slowly.

“H-how-?”she said in disbelief as she saw Damien standing Infront of her unscathed.

“You see” Damien said wiping her cheeks as the tears in his eyes were evident too. “You can’t live without me either”

Alexa threw her arms around him as she hugged him ever so tightly. “Don’t do something like this ever again”

“If only you promise to not leave me ever again, Alexa”

“I promise”

Damien buried his nose in her neck. He’d missed her.

Her scent, her body in his, her laughter, everything about her.

Damien refrained from her.”Will you tell me the reason?”

Alexa looked down. Was she doing the right thing?

If Queen Gezelle should find out that she’s with Damien again, what would happen to her brother? or she could have a different target this time around.

Was it worth everyone being at stake for her and Damien?

After she’d thought she’d lost Damien today, the answer was crystal clear.

It was worth it. Everything was worth it for Damien.

She’d held his hands as she told him everything.

“You could have come to me, Alexa.”Damien said.

“What do we do now? Worse things might happen because of us”

Damien smiled. “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already figured it all out”

“How?”

“But before you answer, I’ll have you know that it WAS your brother’s idea”

Alexa furrowed her brow. Hermenes and Damien agreed on something? Uh-oh. “What is it, Damien?”

With a serious expression on his face, Damien said “Let’s elope”
