♜ Five

  The night was really long.
   Axel looked at the clock. It was two o'clock of the morning and he was still trying to figure out who could be the one winged creature had passed that way. However, he had no contact with other creatures, which made it harder. All he had was a black plume that had its peculiarities. Anyway, he did not feel good to have that feather in the house and opened the window to throw it out. Of no use to keep an object like that around, especially when it came to some other kind of creature he did not know. Raven was asleep so she could not stop him from disposing of the plume.
   He looked at the sky, which was covered in stars with few clouds. It was the same sky he saw when he became a vampire because of his father. It was then that he realized that another year had passed. How many? He did not even lembarava. Besides, what difference would remember? Nothing would change the course of his life and the best thing is to let go of all past events. Anyway, it was laborious to try to forget most of his life, for those moments he spent with his family were the only memories he had from when he was human. Axel never had brothers, so it was hard trying to forget all the affection he received as a child before being betrayed and losing everything.
   His throat began to burn, but he knew that this time was not thirsty. It was the same feeling he had when he took over the body chained and pierced by a dagger so that your life could be taken. It was not sadness and even tears that were forming, it was as if someone or something was growing inside him and made him lose control of his own body. Her legs were asleep and he could not even keep standing. When he least expected it, I was already kneeling on the floor, breathing hard, as if someone was squeezing her throat and preventing him from breathing.
   Axel's head was hurting and he could not move. It was as if the currents returned and suffocated him as revenge because he escaped. He managed to crawl to reach the room where she could sleep peacefully leave Raven as he tried to regain control her own body. The bitter taste of bile invaded his mouth and made him feel deep sickness until he started vomiting blood. Axel was already with her face and hair covered in sweat and he was shaking with pain and cold.

The show time arrived.

   Raven suddenly woke up, so that even she knew she would wake up. The girl glanced sideways and saw Axel somewhere in the room. She looked down and saw a small trail of blood followed out of the room.
- Axel!
   She did not think before they shoot amidst the blood to hold Axel's face, which was almost transparent and dark circles. His eyes were turquoise, but with a more opaque and somber tone.
- What happened? Please tell me.
- Go back to the room. - His voice was so hoarse that almost Raven did not hear - You need to rest.
- You need it more than me.
   She could not take him to the bedroom and he was too weak to move, causing Axel lie his head on her lap and closed his eyes. The girl touched her hair gently, thinking of something that could make him better.
- I'm sorry I can not do anything for you.
   His hand gripped hers. Raven knew what he meant, but she herself could not console themselves for being so useless to the point of not being able to do nothing but watch the master of her own painful way to die like that.
- I love you.
- I'm not dying, okay?
- Sorry.
- I'll be fine soon, do not worry.
- Love is beautiful, is not it?
   A pair of wings wrapped Raven for a brief moment. Those feathers ... She remembered exactly soft and smooth texture that same plume that went out the window. The wings were away until the figure of a man of stature, black hair, eyes closed and dark clothing appeared before her.
- By the way, thanks for surrendering my feather. I think I owe a favor to you.
   All of the pain that Axel was feeling disappeared with a simple snap of the winged boy.
- How did you do that?
- I can undo what I do anytime.
- Are you implying that all my pain came because of you? - Axel asked, skeptical and rising from the floor.
- What do you think I am?
   He opened his eyes. The left eye was red as blood, and transmitted some
condescension, while the right eye was silver like a sharp blade rigid and unforgiving.
- A demon.
   The boy bowed slightly.
- My name is Seth.
