"I don't want to marry someone I do not love, Father!"
That statement. It rings in the head of Raven as a bell rings in a school, and it's causing a terrible hangover.
"I am called Raven"
Raven's eyes open wide like a bulb and then suddenly, Jane sits upright, not laying on the hand of James anymore but maintaining her balance with Raven's control.
She's panting. Heavily.
Her face is wet with sweat and her bruise's blood mixes up with the sweat that makes up some dripping red liquid. James would have run mad if he didn't reason that it was sweat and her blood that was mixed together.
"Jane?" James calls as he rushes to her side and embraces her warmly.
"I... I saw... I am called Raven. I saw my Father..."
Raven looks up at the shocked James "Why did you say I should follow those men that approached me? They said you ordered me to leave with them..."
Kancial's face dropped. Don't tell me she...
"I went with them to make you happy"
She did it. She sacrificed her body and soul for his happiness. This is all he's been dreading.
God! She sacrificed herself when it isn't the time yet!
Why does he have to make things hard for himself? Why?!
But apart from making things hard for himself, he also makes things hard for Raven. And that isn't what he wants.
Why does she believe what people tell her so easily? Is it because she's an Angel and not a human? Is it?
But...
He wants freedom. Freedom to be with her.
He still has no idea why he came to earth with her in the first place and he doesn't want to waste time knowing. He just wants to know that he has fulfilled what he came here for and Raven and he will be out of pressure and force.
And also scolds coming from the Creator.
"My real name is Raven. I... I saw my Father..."
Kancial heart tightens as if some puke is held tightly in his chest.
"He isn't on Earth. He... He looks like a Demon"
"Sir James!" Kidan yells but keeps quiet seeing the bruised Jane on the floor.
He tightens his fists, digging his nails into his palm.
"Wh-Who did this to her?" Kidan asks and the guy that shrieked in pain groans the more. His ribs ache him.
Without letting anyone tell him anything, he strides towards the guy, jacks him up through his shirt, and pins him on the wall.
"Kidan...!"
"Who the f*ck are you?!" Kidan yells with his veins popping out of his forehead.
"I... I-You're cho-choking me" the guy manages to let out even with the tight grip of Kidan unto his neck.
"Tell that to the Devil" What lands on his face next is a deafening punch on his ear.
Blood splatters everywhere as Kidan lands on his face a slap next!
"Kideny!" Jane calls in a low tone.
Though wondering why Kenny called him Kidan.
'That name sounds familiar'
Hearing his name being called softly, Kidan pauses from the beating he has in mind to give to this man. He pants like a ravaging beast that desires to tear this man apart.
"Kideny... Stop" she says.
"Stop it, Kid," James says and Dawn draws him backward from standing close to the guy that's bleeding profusely on the ground.
Jane looks severely weak now. Why is everything planned by James going wrong today?
"We're going home! Right now" James says and carries Jane in his arms.
He walks ahead of Kidan and Kenny with Jane in his arms. His suit is already torn and his chest is exposed wildly.
"Go get the car" he orders the two of them and they ran to the car in obedience.
"I'm so sorry, Prince Kancial" Laurasia whispers as low as she could through Dawn. Kancial turns to her from within James and nods. She returns it with a little smile.
Kancial caught sight of Stella in the car and he smiles a little at her. Of course, the spirit's sightedness enables Stella to see him smile, even in the dark.
"How is she?" Katherina asks immediately Kenny and Kidan enter the car.
"Badly wounded. You got some of your healing flowers?" Kidan asks
"Yeah" Stella controls Katherina and waves her hand in the air, forming a sunflower that has the healing power in it.
Kenny quickly starts the car and speeds off to where James stood.
The Mercedes is a three-role seater. It looks more like a picnic vehicle.
Kidan and Kenny are in the two front seats, Katherina and Dawn in the middle and then the injured couple behind them.
Closing all the car doors, Kenny starts the car and drove out of the center with everyone breathing heavily except for Katherina. Who obviously didn't run or step a foot out of the car.
Jane's temperature is low and cool. Her eyes are fixed on James as his are fixed on hers. His chest got three short scars on it and he's pressing her body against his, as the agony takes over his face staring down at her and panting.
"I'm sorry I left. I thought you were having a great time with that girl"
James face falls again. She left because of thinking he had a wonderful time with another woman? What is her problem with him relating with women anyway?
"I... I know you're mad, I'm very sorry" she whispers as a drop of tear escapes her eyes, down her face.
"I will never do it again. You can have a second wife if you want to-"
"Shishhh..." James softly says with the words coming out of the mouth of Kancial.
"I have only one wife and that's you. No one else will I love, except you"
Raven's eyebrows furrow sadly, but in happiness.
She forces a smile on her face as the speed of the car increased stupendously because Kenny and the rest are panicking with just little hope.
"I- " Raven struggles to sit up, but with the assistance of James, sitting isn't a problem.
"Be careful" James whisper as she sits on the car seat with her arm wrapped around the waist of James.
"I have to thank all of you. Even the people I don't know"
The ladies smile at her as she struggles to keep talking "I-"
But the Creator doesn't like to see people in pain, so he waves his hand as he watched everything from his throne, sending a deep sleep to engulf her while she was speaking to the others in the car.
It didn't take James and the others a second to figure out what the Creator did to her to make her rest.
Jane lays her head on James chest slowly as she fell into a deep sleep. Then, the Creator spoke to all the Angels aside from her.
"I said it earlier... It will be safe, but not after an incident. It is your responsibility to keep her safe, Kancial... "
Kancial felt his fists mold in anger.
"I will let you have a second chance. Your time on Earth won't last long now that she's regaining her memories. Let Stella and Laurasia stay with you"
Kidan prays to the Creator in his heart to expose his and Katherina's half-exposed secret. But he says nothing.
And so they head home, with pain and hope at the same time.

"Did you kill her?"
"I couldn't boss. Her husband came and beat the hell out of us"
Miles cuts the call and turns to Linda.
"She just got away once, Milord. Be patient"
