Song: Trainwreck x Banks
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My vision blurred from the pain in the middle of my back. I tried to turn to the side so I could get up but it was even too painful to muster enough strength.
"Celeste! Celeste, open your eyes for me!" I heard someone say as I felt their warm hands on my face. It was Daemon. Why were his hands so warm? He lifted me bridal style before facing the outside.
I heard loud screams and multiple bodies dropping like flies. The aura emitting from Daemon's body was powerful that my weak body could feel it.
"Daemon, stop! You've done enough!" I heard Angelo yell from behind us.
"They hurt her, so they'll pay with their lives for eternity in my realm." Daemon gritted his teeth as I continued to hear bodies being smashed and ripped by Daemon's powers.
My heavy lids tried to open slightly and Daemon sighed in relief.
"Daemon," I began as I cupped his cheek with a chilled hand. I struggled to speak but I knew he understood what I was trying to tell him. It was an unidentifiable connection between the two of us that no one will ever understand.
"We gotta get you inside." he said to me.
"Medio Terrae is here." I heard another voice to my left.
"They were here, but they retreated. We need to get Celeste inside. Now." the voice right next to me said matter of factly.
My legs felt like jello and I slipped on something wet underneath me.
"Shit, she's bleeding too much."
"Shut up, and let me do my job."
"If you were doing your job, this wouldn't have happened!"
I felt myself fall on the soft cushions of the bed and I whimpered from the pain that continued to spread from my back.
From the corner of my vision, Brittany, Ted, and Daniel ran to my side.
"What happened?" Daniel asked.
"She has an arrow lodged into her back! How are we going to take it out?!" Brittany exclaimed as she began to panic more and more.
I heard loud heavy footsteps coming towards me. I tried to lift my head to see who it was only to have black spots in my vision to continue playing across my eyes.
"Celeste and I need our privacy so I can help her." I heard Angelo's voice over Brittany's and Ted's panicked mumbles.
They were quick to understand that they left as soon as they heard me scream. This pain was burning its way into my heart, scorching and choking it at the same time.
"That includes you too, Daemon." Angelo growled.
"I'm not leaving her with you." Daemon said matter of factly. Although I was in enormous pain, I could see him crossing his arms while examining his finger nails.
"I have a feeling that you caused this attack. How could Medio Terrae know of our location so quickly if one of us from the inside didn't betray our group in the first place?"
I started coughing to the point that blood splattered across the pillows.
Angelo rushed to my side propping me up.
"I don't have time to listen to your accusations, Daemon. She is what's important right now and she needs my help. Leave this room if you want to save her life."
Daemon didn't say a word. From my distorted vision, his fists are curled tight as if he was ready to attack Angelo himself.
And then I understood. He doesn't trust Angelo after the fact that he hurt me by breaking my heart.
"I...I'll be okay, Daemon." I rasped. Talking caused me to wince in pain.
"I...need Angelo's help...right now." I struggled to speak the last few words. "But, would you still be here after he's done?" I asked him.
I wanted him to stay. I felt safe whenever he's around.
Perhaps this was just my hallucinated mind talking by itself. Angelo stiffened next to me when I asked Daemon this question.
After awhile, Daemon finally spoke.
"I'll be here, I would never leave you."
Once I heard the door click shut, Angelo started to get to work.
"No matter what, keep your eyes open, okay?" he told me caressing my clammy cheek.
I nodded. I saw him grab a pair of scissors and he began to cut my shirt. I pulled away, covering myself from his eyes.
"I'm not going to hurt you." he assured me. "I just need to take your shirt off, so I can pull out the arrow from your back."
Nodding weakly, I allowed him to cut my shirt off leaving me with nothing but my bra. He handed me a blanket to cover myself before he rested his palm on my back.
"I'm going to pull out the arrow, okay?" he warned me.
I braced myself for the pain, yet I know that no matter how much I prepare myself for this pain, what I felt next was unbearable. Angelo quickly yanked it out before pushing his hand and muttering words I don't understand.
He pulled me closer to him, his palm still on my back as warmth emitted from his fingertips. I felt the pain receding from my heart and body and into Angelo's hand.
He rested his body against mine. We stayed like this for awhile although it made me uncomfortable. His breath fanned against my cheek and I turned my face away to avoid it.
I no longer feel the butterflies in my stomach when Angelo's close to me. The pain I felt was only a throb from how he broke up with me. It hurt whenever I remember what he did to me, but it wasn't as heartbreaking as before.
"Is it done?" I asked him as I slowly pull away from his embrace.
"Yes," he replied.
Angelo ordered me to lie down on my stomach for now because the wound inflicted from the arrow would completely heal in an hour of rest.
"Was there poison on the arrow?" I asked him, curiosity getting the best of me.
"There was, it was a strong one too. It's something I've only seen once." he told me.
I turned my cheek so I could see him clearly. "Where have you seen it?"
Angelo looked down on the floor hesitating. After awhile, he began to speak.
"I've seen it from the Nether Realm."
