SAVE ME

Chapter 8 COMFORT FROM A STRANGER



Warren walked into Alexa’s room and turned to Karina and Celine ” What is going on? Why didn’t you guys tell Alexa the spell didn’t work ?”

“How did you know we didn’t tell her?” Karina asked nervously

“Because I just saw her outside walking hand- in -hand all lovey dovey with the demon lord”

On hearing Warren ‘s voice , Josty jumped up and ran to him “Honey , did you miss me ?”

Warren wrinkled his face”How long is she going to be like this?”

“The demon lord told us not to tell Alexa and also told us to make sure Josty never snaps out of the spell” Karina blabbed

Warren clenched his fist “Why ?”

“He did release Celine and we broke his rules entering his realm so it sort of like a bargain”

“But-”

“Warren!” Celine called out “Put your personal feelings aside, please. Our lives depend on this ”

Warren sighed as he walked out

of Alexa’s room and left the angel’s realm.

Meanwhile at the witches realm, Laura smiled as she mixed the love potion in big pot .

She remembered when Alexa had ran to see her that she needed a love potion to use on the demon lord so that she could rescue her friend.

She thought it was all nonsense until she saw Celine at the dragon ball festival.

She ran to the Angel’s realm and saw Alexa and Damien leaving locking arms as she spoke to Warren.

Laura smiled “So it had worked”

Now she was making more potions to make the demon lord fall in love with her so that she can be the most powerful witch of all.

Daisy walked into Laura’s shop and coughed”Ah, that smell. What are you making?”

Laura was taken aback and shouted”Can’t you knock?”

“I’m sorry ”

Laura sighed “What do you want?”

“Lord Faren is looking for you ”

Laura’s hand stopped her steering “Faren? Why?”

Daisy shook her head “I don’t know ”

“You can go. I’ll meet him ”

Laura poured a ‘sunlight’ spell around her for protection and headed to the vampire’s realm.

The minute Faren saw her, he shrieked”Argh, my eyes. What have you done ?”

“Just some protection spell”

“Turn it off!!”

Laura turned it off “You asked of me . Why?”

“I need you to help me stalk Damien”

Laura suddenly got angry.”Why? Are you trying to hurt him?”.

“N-No”Faren stuttered”I’m just trying to know what makes him so powerful”

“Then why me ?”

Faren smirked”Because you like him ”

Laura was taken aback”How did you know?”

Faren shrugged “I notice unimportant things ”

This was the perfect opportunity to get close to Damien and use the love potion on him . Laura thought.

“Fine, I’ll help you ”

Faren smirked. The witch was so predictable just like that Angel.

As Alexa got back to the realm, she was immediately called by the head angel.

“This has to be because of Damien” she thought.

So immediately she was in the presence of Nana, the head angel, she was ready to apologize when Nana handed a paper to her.

Alexa opened it and gasped as she read the content. She couldn’t believe her shock.

She smiled as she ran to hug Nana”Thank you, thank you ”

“Don’t mess this up, Alexa”Nana said “It’s your first Angel’s mission afterwards”

Alexa nodded her head “I won’t. Thank you for trusting me ”

Every angel is given a mission after two weeks of being in the realm.

But Nana had never entrusted Alexa to a mission.

Her joy right now knew no bound. An angel’s mission is the regular one we all know.

Rescuing those alive and leading those dead .

Alexa quickly flew off to the location on the paper and when she got there, her smile vanished.

Her candidate was an old granny who was crossing the road.

“You got to be kidding me ” Alexa grunted in disappointment”it’s not even a busy road”

Nonetheless, Alexa helped the granny cross the road safely and flew back to the Angel’s realm disappointedly.

As she went, she saw Damien from a far range with a suspicious someone following him.

She flew down to meet him “Damien, where are you going?”

“I was about to meet you. This is good now that you are here”Damien said as he watched her face closely”It’s everything alright?”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t seem like your usual self”

Laura who was watching them smiled”Awesome. The potion is this powerful. I have to go back for now and continue making it”

Alexa saw as the suspicious person walked away and sighed in relief.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Is she gone?”Damien asked

Alexa’s eyes widened”You knew someone was following you?”

“Yes”

“Why didn’t you do anything?”

Damien shrugged”The person can’t hurt me anyways. Nothing can”

Alexa clapped her hands”As expected. You are cool”

Damien smiled”You didn’t answer me. What happened?”

“Ah, about that. Would you like to follow me somewhere?”

“Where?”

Alexa smiled as she took his hands”Don’t worry, it will blow your mind”

They walked deep into the woods until they came to the edge of a cliff.

The bright moon shined upon the ocean and the water sparkled.

Alexa sat down “Isn’t it pretty?”

Damien looked at the breathtaking sight “Yes, it is ”

Ever since he met Alexa, he started seeing beauty in things .

It amazed the hell out of him.

“Do you know what the job of an Angel is?” Alexa asked

“To help people”

“Yes. Nana had never given me a job to do since I became an angel. When I heard about Celine, I think the my urge to rescue her was due to the fact that I wasn’t entrusted to any missions yet and wanted to save her myself. Ain’t I selfish?”

“It’s natural to be selfish” Damien replied.

Alexa nodded her head”I guess. Today, Nana gave me my first mission. I was so psyched for it just to see that it was to help an old granny cross the road. Once again, Nana thought I wasn’t ready”

“I know how you feel. You feel like you needed something big and not just as ordinary as that” Damien looked away from the ocean and stared at Alexa”And in that case, it means that you wish for something bad to happen to someone just so that you can get something to be worthy of being called a ‘mission’ and that’s not the job of an angel”

Alexa looked at Damien with tears brimming in her eyes “You are right.”Alexa wiped her tears “How are you so good with words? Is this the effect of the potion?”

Damien laughed and looked back at the ocean”How did you find this place?”

Alexa smiled”How do you think? Look there”

Damien followed his gaze to where Alexa pointed at and saw some shirtless boys in the ocean.

“The werewolves come here when the moon is full like today and I get to see some mouth watering abs “Alexa said.

Damien looked at her and scoffed. He couldn’t believe she was the same person who had called him a pervert for just holding her from falling.

“When the love potion wipes off, you might not remember this too but your body will so listen carefully” Alexa said as she cleared her throat”When things get hard for you as the demon lord feel free to use this place, Okay?”

Damien nodded his head “Okay”

Swept away by his own emotions at the moment, Damien slowly pulled Alexa close to him and placed his lips on hers.
