Forty-Eight:
In Between
Azazel laughter suddenly heard all over the place that took our attention back at him.
"Do you really think she can escape me? Because she can't, the hell will always be right beside her."
"You're killing her!" Asim madly answered.
"And that is my purpose. Killing her is what I really need."
I chill from what he said that added to the cold that embracing me and the two by side quickly noticed it and they both went at my side. As I saw their faces, I can easily read how worried they were at me. I don't know what I look like, while they looking at me, but I'm so sure, I'm not in a good shape.
"We need to get her out of here." Almos said.
"Alright, I---"
Asim was about to speak when suddenly something caught them off and the two flew back away from me. Surprised from the sudden attack, I can't even react or move an inch when Azazel just teleports beside me afterwards.
"I'm so sorry, my dear Lady. I didn't mean to kill you on the spot, I just wanted to greet you that is why I brought you and—oh, wait!"
Almos and Asim attack back after they regained themselves but Azazel perfectly counter their attacks and swing them away as if they were just a piece of a paper. I'm so shocked from what I just witnessed but I couldn't do anything even my powers can't be used in this place as if, this whole place is his territory.
"You!" Almos shouted as his wings flops out from his back and I am so sure, I saw a halo around him that lightens the whole place, bringing forth a warm breeze that I badly needed right now.
"Becoming an Angel doesn't mean you were just a guardian that will protect the entire living beings. Basically, you are more than that Almos. Knowing your former self…" he suddenly halts and looks at him with a devious smile. "Oh, I forgot that you've forgotten your past life no wonder you can't solve your sword."
"What!"
"No, don't bite what he says." Asim quickly stopped him.
"Really Asim! You were the last person that I knew would agree to me about recovering his past life, am I right? So, what is the meaning of this stunt that you were pulling?"
"Azazel!" Asim warned him intently that Azazel just shrugs off.
"What does he mean, Asim?" Almos seriously asked him with fierce eyes as he glares towards him.
"This isn't the right time, Almos. We still need to save Jeanne and---"
"And you two can talk it all out," Azazel interrupts Asim and smiles towards me. "Meanwhile, me and my dear Lady will go on our normal lives. So, for now, I'll be her savior. I'll save her out of this place and you two should just… catch up maybe… oh, well I don't care! Bye!"
"No! Almos!" I shouted out loud before they vanished out of my sight.
…
"Hey! Are you alright?" suddenly I heard Claire voice and she was already facing me with worries written all over her face.
What happened? The feeling of being cold as an ice just suddenly vanished as if nothing happens.
I'm still sitting on my chair while my classmate still looking out of our classroom and…
"Where is he?!" I quickly asked when I didn't see Azazel anywhere.
"Who?"
"Th-the new stude---"
"Okay class, you may now go back to your sits." Our professor just came in but she already came in so why does she just entered?
"Hey! Breathe!" Claire said in whispered before she returns to her sit.
I don't know what's happening but I just breathe and calm myself as our professor post at front to introduce the new student.
What is the right emotion to put it out?
Surprised?
Yes, I am so much I don't know how I manage to hold on still as soon as the new student came in and he was no other than Azazel.
Fear?
Yes, I am freaking scared and I don't know how I manage to paste my face with feign ignorance while looking at Azazel.
Disgust and anxiety.
It embraces me I can feel that my whole body is shaking. I even fold my hands tightly it almost hurt my palm because of the friction caused by my nails. I just dug it in to stop my body for trembling because of the various emotions I was feeling right now. But to my surprised, Azazel seems to know it all too well that he even tilted his head as he smirks at me before turning his gaze back at the crowd.
He did that on purpose which my blood boil in anger and at the same time, sweat me in fear as once again another revelation has revealed right through my face.
I couldn't speak the right word it just that things were too complicated to handle and I cannot take it any longer. All the emotions that build up on me just exploded and the last thing that I saw is, Chadd, before darkness totally consumed me.

Dream World
With my fist full of rage, I solidly punch Asim's face and he just accepted it without even fighting or defending himself.
"Almos stop it!" it was Ilmatar who halt my next move and she even used her powers just to make me stop.
"Don't interfere, Ilmatar! Or I swear, you won't like what I can do!" I angrily stated as I fiercely glare Asim.
"Then, you should also punch me until you satisfied."
"What are you talking about?"
"Because I also knew your past and I---"
Anger, frustration and sorrow just exploded uncontrolled as soon as I heard Ilmatar words and I cannot take it any longer I lost all my sane. I just lose that the dream realms shake into its core that shattered around us before everything suddenly vanished without my knowledge how.
