Chapter 1.

He loved her. A demon loved a human woman, well, she wasn't entirely human, somehow she had a bit of angel grace in her. And she loved him. They both knew how wrong it looked to the others, how many people thought that he was only using her. Aside from them, there were maybe one or two people who believed that the feelings between them were real. She made him the happiest he had ever been, he gave her feelings she thought didn't exist in the life, only in fairytales. Of course, sometimes they fought, sometimes her inner demons tried to push him away, sometimes him being a demon made her question her choices. But all in all, they were happy.

Until one day she disappeared. She didn't say goodbye, she didn't say anything. In the morning he had kissed her before he went back to Hell and later that day the bond between them vanished.

Days and nights Crowley spent looking for her. He asked witches, demons, angels, but all of them claimed that they don't know where she is. He feared that angels had taken her against her will, he thought that someone had killed her, all sorts of thoughts invaded his mind. She wouldn't leave him just like that, would she? He didn't believe that. He almost began to hate the feelings and emotions he felt because of this, he tried to drown them with acting more like a un-emotional demon, he had to remind himself who he was. But no matter what he did to be the demon he was before Linn, he still felt pain and love, he worried and cared about her. And more than anything he wanted to know where is she and what has happened to her.

Now, almost a year later out of nowhere, he felt her bond between them was weak, but he felt her.

He showed up in an apartment, she had moved from the States back to her home country. He looked around the living room, it was simple, a bit messy which was unusual for her. She didn't like clutter, untidy place, her place usually was clean and neat, though she wasn't neat freak.

Linn came in the room, yawning and stretching. At first, she didn't notice Crowley standing there, she was deep in thoughts and tired. She went to the window, it was a nice morning, sunny, with a little wind breeze. Linn froze when she noticed Crowley's reflection in the window, and after blinking a few times and realizing that he was really there, she slowly turned around. She couldn't believe it was him, as usual wearing his dark suit with crimson red tie, which Linn had given him as a present. Her eyes were big with shock, Crowley noticed dark circles under them and she looked different. Still beautiful, but different.

"Crowley…." she whispered.

Crowley opened his mouth to say something, but out of nowhere a muffled cry came from a small radio, which Linn quickly turned off, her movements suddenly nervous and twitchy. She dropped the radio on the couch and glanced at Crowley, who noticed that her glance was filled with fear. He didn't understand why. What was she afraid of?
