After days of non stop rain, the sun finally decided to show after hiding behind the clouded sky, yet the cold breeze still swirling at the jade like skin of the woman. She adjusted the soft blanket and continued to sleep but the sun's light cannot be ignored especially when it reached her golden eyes.
She slowly opened those sparkling yet sleepy eyes and blinked three time , a man is sleeping beside her making her smile warmly. She touched his white hair and curled it, then she moved her hand to the bridge of Exyle's nose and pinched it gently. The snore of the man made her giggle, she move her hand again but this time , into his lips. This lips is so soft, this is the lips that kissed her a days ago.
After getting bored of the man's face, she moved gently, afraid of waking the man. She ignore the coldness of the ground as she carefully snake across Exyle, the only way to escape.
"Leaving after getting bored of me?"
The long and slender hand of the man caught her back, just as she almost succeeded. Her movement paused when Exyle grab her thin waist and embrace her from the back.
"Exyle."
Rachella responded. Her lips parted causing her brilliant white teeth to reveal. "It's already morning. Let me go."
"Hmm."
The husky voice of the man flowed into the air, clearly had just woken up.
"Sir, no matter how I enjoy this moment with you, I have a lot of things to do."
"Hmmm."
Seeing that the man doesn't have any plan of moving and decided to stay idle, Rachella wiggled her way out of the man's embrace.
The man grunted.
"Okay, okay."
The man's eyes opened and revealed his scarlet eyes, the color of blood, it looks irritated . But instead of getting frightened, Rachella hugged the man.
"Sleepy?" The man found another comfortable spot.
"Hmmm."
He rolled in the bed making her chuckle.
"Then sleep"
She kissed the man and finally stood up and decided to take a stroll in her garden.
This garden is made by her, she spent a lot of effort to make it look like the way it is now.
It is a maze that is made with rose wall, her masterpiece that no one but her can know the way out. She created it so that when she is sulking because of Exyle, she can hid here.
She cannot help but to chuckle, remembering how Exyle almost burned this maze when she decided to hide here for days.
Not too far from her, a bloody red rose who still has a transparent water from all the rain that happened yesterday, gently blooms and sparkles as it touches the light from the sun and this caught the eyes of Rachella.
She touched it but the pointy thorn of the rose pricked her. The blood slowly dripped from her little finger to the ground.
Her hands are trembling and her breathing was stopped making her instinctively clutched her throat, causing her heart to pound frantically.
The surrounding's sound stopped and only the ringing of her ear was all she heard.
Images are showing,
blood,
fire,
shouting,
demons,
Plea.
Help!
Voices that are full of agony. Crying...
Two humans are crying full of help, blood.
Rachella could help but to cry aloud.
Save them! There's still time.
She stood up and ran to where she saw the images.
There, demons are killing the humans, thousands of dead body lies.
Why are you doing this?
Does this make you better?
She watched while the demons are laughing while killing them slowly.
No, enough!
Her body glowed in gold.
This must be stopped!
Right from her feet, plants began sprouting and spread toward the demons, creating a line between humans and demons. She touched her back, the hidden wings showed and made her flew above.
Each and one of them can be seen. They are ruthless, killing even the unborn child in the womb of a woman.
She formed a sword in her hand and slowly killed the demons. She didn't know how long she's been here but she stopped when a voice called her.
"Rachella!"
Exyle showed up in the middle of the fight, looked shocked. The corpses of the demons and humans are mixed together.
"Exyle."
She looked at him with surprise, he shouldn't be here.
He followed her scent , that's why. His appearance is now of a nine tailed demon fox, a lot of demons are looking at him.
"Exyle, move!"
One of the demon is approaching him. Knowing what's going to happen next, Rachella's heart is starting to beat faster.
Just like having a slow motion, the moment the demon intends to use its sharp claw is equal to one beat of her heart.
She quickly run to where Exyle is at. She hug Exyle and slash! The skin of Rachella was torn and blood flowed.
In that moment, Exyle's eyes cannot believe what just happened. Rachella was bleeding heavily.
No no no. This is not true.
Thousands of demons was stopped by her but also consumed all her energy causing her to be in a weakened state, she cannot heal herself.
"Rachella!"
Exyle saw how she puke a mouthful of blood.
"Hey"
Hearing that there's no reply and only the thin sound of breathing from Rachella was all he can hear, tears are falling from his eyes.
"No no no! Wake up Rachella please!"
"I order you to open your eyes!"
Exyle's face was a complete mess. Tears cannot be controlled
"Please wake up, I'll do everything, please."
Rachella opened her eyes and moved her hand in Exyle's face and smiled.
" pfft." The blood sprayed from Rachella's mouth into Exyle's chest.
She cannot even utter a word. Rachella's hand fell and her eyes are slowly closing.
"No don't close your eyes please."
He pleaded while shaking Rachella's dead body.
Exyle's eyes become darker and his vision to turn dark. His body is now emitting a murderous aura. He stood up and looked at the demon who killed her with his bloody eyes.
"How could you?" His voice is so cold that can cause a chill from the spine.
"Now pay!"
With anger, he killed the demons that he can see. The demon's blood sprinkled around the area but this man still remained heartless and continue to do so.
His body lifelessly move back to where he let Rachella's dead body lies, but the moment she returned there, the body is already gone.
In a distance, the body of Rachella is currently lying in the ground.
"Father, I cannot finish my mission. I'm sorry."
She closed her eyes and finally breathed her last breath.
***
In a top of mountain, where you can see the bloody ground, the man was standing. His eyes that is already red turned darker and his facial expression turned cold.
Rachella, you will be the only person that this demon will ever love. Sigh. Rachella, when will you come back? Or will you?
Demons are known for being heartless. But once a demon loves, it will be forever, and that makes them different from humans.
He flipped his clothes and disappeared.
