Chapter 14
I pulled away from Raphael to the sound of my phone fading away with my sight growing blacker by the minute.
"what's happening?" I screamed forcing my sight to come back.
"I'm trying to vessel you trough to my world" Raphael whispered, "just sit calmly and let me take you."
"no!" I screeched, my vision coming back completely. "who are you? tell the truth" I growled as I sat on his legs holding his throat in my hands.
"I'm Raphael, the demon" he laughed as he suddenly started vanishing and leaving me on the floor on my knees.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check who was calling me since I was pre occupied with Raphael I couldn't hear the ring tone. It was Patch.
"Hello?" I asked, as Patch picked up his phone.
"Nora, you alright?" Patch asked I heard people playing pool in the background so I figured he was back at oz's pool hall in Bo's arcade.
"do you know someone called Raphael?" I asked completely ignoring his question.
He was silent for a moment, " male, same size as me, same build as me but not me, shoulder length layered black hair and glowing crimson red eyes?" he asked.
"yes, that's an exact description."
"how do you know him?" Patch asked his voice taking an edge to it.
"when I was at Bo's arcade with you he appeared in the female toilets and when I shut myself in my house just now he appeared in the darkness and then he said he was 'taking me to his world'" I did a mock version of Raphael.
"you have to stay away from him, where are you?" Patch asked sounding more enraged.
"I'm still at my house" I said as a large crash came from upstairs my room, "Patch someone's in my house!" I said, realizing the phone switched off, all the power was gone.
I quickly but quietly made my way up the stairs and down the hall to my room. I slowly pushed the door open and there was a figure sitting on my bed.
"Debria, last time I saw you, you gave me quite a blow" I said confidently, turning on the light.
"if it weren't for Patch you would've been with your pretty little rat of a mother" Debria hissed, standing elegantly, " now no one can save you, Lilith."
She came at me and tried to stab me with a knife that seemed to slid out from her sleeve.
I ran for the front door but she was there before I could reach the bottom of the stairs.
"damn" I gasped running back up the stairs and into the spare room. This room basically collects dust and is used as a storage room. I ran to the window and realized it was too high to jump so I hide up the chimney.
"Little piglet, come out and become lunch" I heard Debria's voice drifting around the house like air.
Suddenly smoke started filling the room. I slid out from the chimney and snuck to my room and hid in the wardrobe.
I sat there still as stone, trying not to make any noise and not to breathe too heavily.
The smoke drifting throughout the house began worrying me but I wasn't going to risk going out there then finding Debria. Heavy footsteps came into my room slowly and suddenly I felt a rush of panic as the steps came closer to the wardrobe doors.
Closer and closer the steps grew louder and I sat there fumbling around frantically for a weapon and came up with stiletto heels (Suzu wanted to hide them here).
The doors flew open and I threw the first high heel and the figure knocked it away and grabbed the one I was about to throw and dropped it.
"NO!" I screamed as the figure grabbed my arm and pulled me into it's warm, solid chest.
"Nora, are you ok?" Patch asked, holding me in him.
"yes, let me go!" I snapped, my anger boiling over. I've had it with being put in danger or getting hurt or humiliated because of Patch.
"Nora? what's wrong?" Patch asked allowing me to retreat from him.
"the fact that I'm always made a fool of because of you! why did you enter my life anyway!" I replied staring him right in the eyes.
"I chose you because ..." he started to say but it faded down into a whisper.
"what!" I said shrugging at him.
"because I love you Nora, have for a while now and always will" Patch said and grabbed me into a firm, fast kiss. it started off slowly and turned more faster and more desperate.
