Chereads / Demon and Angel: True love / Chapter 14 - If only

Chapter 14 - If only

Hours earlier...in Emerald village.

Crystal and Henry materialized in front of a huge hut. "Why did you have to save me?" Henry asked in an angry tone. Crystal just folded her arms and puffed her cheeks. "How rude to talk to your saviour like that Henry. If I didn't come in the right time then king Bargwandas would have easily killed you back there. You should be thanking me." She said, raising her head high to prove her point. Henry just looked away and said nothing. Hearing nothing coming from him, Crystal then looked at him. "But seriously Henry, this game of yours has to stop. You will ruin everything if this goes on and..." She paused and looked down for a moment, "you might hurt innocent people in this." She said, not wanting to face him. It was now Henry's turn to look at her. He then gave a smalle but cheerful smile. "Don't worry Crystal. No one will get hurt in what i am doing. You just have to make sure that you stay out of my way and-" "Stay out of your way?" She repeated his statement, now both of them looking at each other. Her arms were still crossed as she walked closer to him and stopped when they were just a few centimetres away from each other. "You have hurt me for the last time Henry!" She shouted, her voice was broken. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes as she looked into his. "Never...never say that to me again Henry. Never-" Henry moved his hands and placed them in both her shoulders. "Crystal, accepting how things are will set you free. Why cant you forget about the past? You were born just 5 years ago for goodness sake!" He said, making Crystal kook down again. "Maybe that May have worked for you but it will never works for me Henry." She said softly. Henry could see the tears that were flowing down her cheeks even when she was looking down. He stared at them for a while before before he moved one hand from her shoulder to her face. He uses his thumb to gently wipe the tears away as he gave a gentle but sad smile. "You know better than i do that i will never forget you. Just...hold in for me ok?" He said, this time in a more calmer voice. Crystal looked up at him, there were still tears in her eyes but she wasn't crying anymore. Instead, she unfolded her arms placed them around his waist, hugging him. Henry hugged her back and they remained in that position for a few seconds before he pulled away. "Goodbye" he said smiling, his red eyes never left her face as he took a few steps back and spread his magnificent blue wings wide and flew away. Crystal just stared at the sky and wiped her tears away. Her eyes fell on the setting Moon and a smile formed on her face. "If only..." She softly said before walking towards the large hut.
