SAVE ME

Alexa could sense that there as something fishy about the way Celine and Karina were behaving, so she’d followed Damien and Celine out as they were leaving this morning but now she seemed to have lost them in the forest.

“Where did they go?”Alexa muttered while scanning around the area.

She suddenly brightened up as Damien came to view.

“Da-“she halted as she saw Celine over his shoulders.

She ran to meet him”What happened?”

Damien looked at Alexa in shock. How and why was she here?”What are you doing here?”

But Alexa couldn’t think of anything except panick because her family was hurt.”Answer me , what happened to her!”

“Let’s just get her to the nearest hospital, she’s going to be fine”Damien attempt to continue on his way but Alexa stopped him.

“You”Alexa said shakingly”You didn’t do that to her, right?”she shook her head”Nevermind. I’ll take care of Celine, you don’t have to worry”

Alexa took Celine away from Damien and threw her arms over her shoulders.

Celine whimpered in pain.”A.. Alexa, is .. that you?”

Alexa wipped off her tears”Yes, it’s me. Don’t talk till we get home, okay?”

Celine nodded her head as she let her tears roll down slowly.

Alexa turned around and backed Damien without a second glance before heading towards the Angel’s realm.

As they went, Celine whimpered in pain.

“It’s okay, we are almost there”Alexa said to Celine.

When they got to the front of the realm, Alexa saw Warren peeping in from outside.

“Warren”

Warren turned to face Alexa as he ran to her”Are you okay?”he looked at Celine beside her” What happened to her?”

“Later. Can you help me take her in?”

“Sure”

They both took Celine to the Angel’s hospital, La Rosa where she was treated and given some sleep sedatives.

Alexa and Warren waited patiently outside her ward for her to wake up.

“What happened to her? who did that to her?”Warren asked

Alexa’s mind wandered off to Damien and she shook her head”I don’t know”

Warren grabbed her shoulders”It was him, wasn’t it? The demon lord. Why are you trying to protect him?”

Annoyed, Alexa broke free from his grasp”I’m not trying to protect anyone! I wouldn’t spare anyone who hurts my family, you know that as well but then we don’t really know if he’s the one that really hurt her, so why start barking up the wrong tree?”

Warren scoffed”He’s the one”

“And how do you know?”

“Because!-“Warren shouted but then halted. Should he go ahead and say it?

Him telling her the truth now, could mean a bad thing for all of them.

Alexa ruffled her hand through her head”Let’s just stop, Warren. I don’t have the strength to pick a fight”

Warren balled his fist. The fact that lord Damien was using Alexa and she was still blindly taking his side annoyed him.

“The love potion… it has worn off”Warren said

Alexa looked at him with her eyes bulging”What did you say?”

“The love potion has worn off from Josty so I’m sure it must have worn off from lord Damien too.”

Alexa’s mind wandered off back to the forest when Damien had carried Celine over his shoulders.

If he had truly snapped out of the love potion, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.

Alexa shook her head”I don’t think so”

Warren tightened his fist. Why was she so quick to defend him when he’s been deceiving her all these while?

Filled with rage and getting no progress from their conversation, Warren stood up from his seat”Fine. Believe what you want, I’m out of here”

“W-Warren”Alexa called after his retreating back but he didn’t spare her a second glance.

Alexa sighed as she walked into Celine’s ward one more time, checking up on her and then returning to her room all beat down.

When she got to her room, she saw that it was empty.

“Karina, Josty, where are you guys?” She called out.

Josty came out from the bathroom”You are back?”

“Yes, where’s Karina?”

“I don’t know. She said she was leaving to get water but hasn’t come back yet.” Josty suddenly remembered Mikasa and Eren’s visit”Ah, that’s right. Eren and Mikasa were here”

“Why?”

Josty held Alexa’s hand “I need you to be honest with me, Alexa”

Alexa suddenly started to feel scared”What happened? You are scaring me”

“Right now, I feel so lost and I don’t know why no one wants to tell me what’s going on”

Alexa furrowed her brow in confusion”What are you talking about, Josty?”

“Did anything happen between Warren and I? I mean, I keep having these weird flashes of us being together but everyone keeps telling me otherwise”

Alexa looked at Josty with wide eyes”Josty, are you back to yourself?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What do you mean?”

Alexa thought back to what Warren had told her earlier”That means Warren wasn’t lying”

“Alexa, what’s going on?”

“I’ll be right back, okay?” Alexa rushed out of her room and out of the realm.

When she stepped out, she saw lord Faren Infront of her.

Alexa sighed”I don’t have your time today”

Faren smirked”Too bad, I seem to have yours”

He clicked his fingers together as Alexa fell unconscious.

Meanwhile as Damien strode into his realm from the forest, he couldn’t help but recall the look on Alexa’s face as she left him.

Rosco came to him and bowed”My lord”

“Leave me, Rosco”

Rosco bowed as he took his leave. Damien sat in his chambers as he kept on recalling Alexa’s face.

Rosco walked in once more.”My lord-”

“ROSCO, I SAID TO LEAVE ME!!”Damien roared.

“I apologize, my lord but you have a message from lord Faren”

Damien rushed up to Rosco as he grabbed him by his neck”And is Faren so important that you dared to disturb me again?”

Rosco choked on his hold”He…. said.. h.. e has.. her”

Damien dropped Rosco to the ground”He has who?”

Rosco gasped for air”He said he has the one called, Alexa”
