The demon walked us down a long hallway, I glanced at Raffe. His head was down, his hair hanging in front of his face, his hands in his pockets. Even his wings were slouching, I felt bad for him, and I could only image how hard it was for him to walk away. The demon opened a door to the left and sat down, Raffe and I walked in. Closing the door, I heard the demon dart off.
Raffe leaned against the wall, his top lip was slightly curled up in disgust. "What happened between you two?" I asked, walking over to him. Raffe gave me a one shoulder shrug, "after he got banished here, he wanted me to join him. Be the Messenger of Hell… I turned it down, and that's all…" I could see his dark eyes were swirling with more. I propped my elbow against his shoulder, arching my brow "you sure that's all?" I asked. Raffe grinned for a moment, but it faded quickly, "when did you get so good at picking up on things?" he asked. I shrugged, "I have been hanging out with you. Now spill" I said.
Raffe closed his eyes, "Lucifer… used to tr- train me, before I was an Arch-Angel. I learned almost everything I know from him, if it ends up we fight. I don't know if I can beat him" Raffe hung his head so low, his chin rested on his chest.
I pursed my lips, but I smiled. "Oh come on, where's my Raffe?" I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Come on, where's the proud warrior Raffe at?" I nudged him, Raffe grinned, "Penryn" he said softly and placed his hands on my hips. "Where is he?" I poked at him, Raffe rested his forehead against mine. "Come on. I know he's in there" I playfully jabbed at him chest.
Raffe laughed, dropping his head to the crook of my neck. He chuckled against my shoulder.
RAFFE- I couldn't deny it. Penryn always had a way of making me feel strong again, only she could have such an effect on me.
Chuckling, Penryn kept poking me trying to cheer me up. Wrapped my arms around her waist, I spun her around, she shrieked in surprise. Laughing, I set her down, she fell against my chest from becoming dizzy. I pretended to trip because of her and pushed my back against the bed behind us. Penryn laughed, biting her lip, "there's my Raffe" she smiled triumphantly. I sat up with a wide grin, I looked her over, and my grin faded when I noticed her shirt has risen, showing off her waist. Penryn gave me questionable look, "what is it?" she asked, I looked away from her, "I did that. Didn't I?" I cringed shamefully.
PENRYN- I arched my brow, completely confused. Looking down, I saw a medium sized bruise on my waist, where Raffe had been holding me when we were in front of Lucifer. I sighed and pulled my shirt over it, "Raffe, it's no big deal" I said softly. Raffe sighed, "Penryn. I did that. I physically hurt you, I'm never going to be able to forgive myself for that" he growled slightly.
I rolled my eyes and went over to him, placing my hand on his shoulder "you can forgive yourself because I'm forgiving you. You did it when you were protecting me, I can't be made at that. Besides it's me, I've had worse" I kissed his cheek. Raffe sighed looking at me, "why do you keep putting up with me?" he asked. I pursed my lips, "what?" I asked. Raffe gave me a look that melted me, his eyes were a light blue and his lips were pulled to together, leaning toward one side.
"Penryn, you've given me more times to make up for my mistakes than I can count. You shouldn't forgive me for hurting you but you do… I just- why?" he leaned closer to me, so close his warm breath was against my cheeks. I smiled while rolling my eyes, "because I love you genius, if I knew you had hurt me intentionally, I wouldn't bother. But you're not like that, besides who else is going to forgive you when you can't forgive yourself" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. Raffe deepened the kiss and pulled me into his arms, I ran my hand through his mess of dark hair. The kiss changed from its normal deep and slow pace, to fast pacing with lips, teeth and tongue.
Five minutes into our heated kiss, someone knocked at the door, Raffe brushed it off. I pulled away slightly, "we probably should stop, but I really don't want to" I admitted and lifted my head, kissing him again. Raffe chuckled and went back to it.
"Penryn? You there?" a familiar voice drifted through, I stopped mid-kiss, Raffe growled low in his throat. "What is he doing here?" he mumbled, and moved away from me. I sat up, biting my lip, looking toward the door, Raffe clenched his fists. "Penryn?" the voice asked again, I blinked in surprise, "Sam?" I asked. Standing I walked over to the door, "hey there kitten" he grinned when I opened the door. Without saying anything, I punched him in the stomach "that was for running into the forest like an idiot." Sam whimpered, "Should have seen that one coming" he groaned. Raffe chuckled from behind me, Sam looked up and me and Raffe in the same room. "Oh, was I interrupting something?" Sam lifted his brow at me with a sly smile. I blushed and bit my lip "yeah- Kind of" Raffe growled, Sam winked, "sorry. But that creepy guy on the throne wants me to get you two" Sam cringed.
I blinked in surprise, "wait. Sam you're here. How are you here? Why are you here? What happened?" I asked in a surprised tone. Raffe got up and walked up behind me, "I think he was just unneeded bait" Raffe said. I tensed my jaw, no, former Arch-Angel messes with my best friend Raffe seems to sense my pissed off mood. "Calm down, if I can figure out how to do what I need to do. We can cruelly get rid of him" he wrapped his arms around me from behind. I crossed my arms over my chest, "good." I mumbled. "What did he want?" Raffe looked at Sam, "I don't know something about a- scare cave…? I don't know something about challenging us for our freedom" Sam shrugged. Raffe pursed his lips, "you mean the fear chamber?" Raffe asked. Sam snapped his finger "that's it! What is it?" he tilted his head to the side.
Raffe took a deep breath, "exactly what it sounds like. It's a chamber that you get locked in, it show off delusions of a person's worst fear. Until they go mad or conquer the fear… I used to use it when I had to interrogate some of my enemies." He said in a grim tone, we all exchanges worried glances at each other.
