Hadrian's POV

"See you soon."

And she f*cking will. I had already killed the two men and had taken one's uniform to avoid more guards attempting to end my life. This woman really wanted to die. You don't f*cking hurt what's mine then make demands and expect to live.

I had already placed the bombs in different areas of the building and did so undetected. I was just waiting for Ryan's signal. An alarm started going off and I pulled out my phone to see a message from him. I clicked the link and a map popped up with a red circle showing Rhea's location.

Six minutes to get to the other side. I started off by jogging then reached full speed. The guards couldn't see me due to the speed I was moving at. I finally reached a metal door with two men standing there. They opened it, letting me in and shut it behind me.

My eyes adjusted to the lack of light and I saw Rhea in the corner of the room, covered in blood and bruises. What the f*ck. I moved the side just as the woman threw a knife which embedded itself into the wall. She smiled and stood up.

"Hello, prince," she said curtsying.

I glared. "Give me Rhea, Lana."

Lana chuckled. "No."

"I'm not joking."

"And neither was I when I said I want my boyfriend back."

"What don't you understand when I say I can't."

"You came back! So do the same!" She screamed angrily.

"You've got the wrong angel. I can't bring people back to life. I'm death," I repeated. My mother would have been the better choice because she's the angel of life rather than me.

"I swear if you don't do it, I'll shoot her brains out," Lana snarled whipping out a gun and pointing it to Rhea's head.

"Listen to me. I cannot reverse death. If you die, you die. I can't change it and if I did, it would have consequences."

"Fine. Say bye to your girlfriend," she sighed.

Rhea looked ready to pass out but I saw her lips moving before she became unconscious. The gun in Lana's hand flew to the opposite side, behind me which startled her. I quickly lifted Rhea into my arms and moved towards the door.

The loading of guns in front of me stopped me in my tracks. Her soldiers blocked my way with their weapons pointed at Rhea and I. I was tired of this.

"If you want your f*cking boyfriend, I'll give him to you." I tapped the ground with my foot. "John Melco, I summon you."

Despite sounding like a Pokémon player, a hand emerged from the floor, followed by a body. Standing at almost seven foot, John looked angry.

"Who has awoken me from my sleep?" He bellowed out.

"Ask your f*cking girlfriend."

Lana, however, looked happy and held her arms out. "My love, you're back."

A few facts to note down. I'm the angel death if you still haven't realized. My father is souls and my mother is life. There's a specific reason to why we're not the same person. I can't create life and I can't create souls. I can kill people, call upon souls and sometimes, when I'm feeling especially cruel, I can separate the soul from the body. But I can also act as a necromancer. The only issue is the 'people' I bring back aren't...civilized as they had no soul.

"Was it you who disturbed my sleep?" He asked again louder.

"Yes. We can now be together again."

He lunged towards her, aiming for her neck. The guards suddenly jumped into action as Lana screamed from John's attack. Be careful what you wish for. I was still blocked from leaving and I had a time limit before the bombs would go off. Rhea's life was fading in front of me and I couldn't heal her.

I felt my wings forming then they wrapped around Rhea and I in a cocoon. I used them to push my way out the door, away from the bomb. However, there were multiple all over to make sure the whole building would come down. I had no idea where I was going but I needed to find an exit. Then I reached a dead end.

"F*ck."

I turned to find a new route only to see a dozen of guards standing there.

"Surrender," one ordered.

Rhea's heart beat was getting faint and I was covered with her blood on my arms. She needed to get out of here. I placed her on the ground, carefully then clapped my hands. The lights flickered off, leaving us in darkness. This worked in my advantage as I removed all their weapons and knocked them out. Grabbing Rhea, I continued running.

Boom

Boom

The bombs were starting to go off. The walls shook from the force and I needed to find a mirror or water. While I couldn't enter the Fae world, I could leave. I could smell smoke and hear the screams from the rest of the building. Then I saw a mirror at the end of the hallway. Suddenly, Lana walked in front of it, pointing another gun at Rhea.

"You're not leaving," she screamed.

"Yes, I am," I growled at her. "Now get out of my f*cking way."

"I'll shoot! I will do it!"

"I'm f*cking tired of people like you. You've lost. Move on."

"You didn't bring John back!"

"But I did. You wanted him and that's what you got. It's not my problem whether you like the outcome."

She began shaking with anger. "I just want to be with John."

"So be it."

I commanded her heart to slow down. She fell onto her knees clutching her chest.

"What have you done?" She gasped.

"John's dead and maybe in Hell. I've given you a one way ticket to see him. Death."

I walked past her and towards the mirror. I didn't look back but at the same time, both Rhea's and Lana's hearts stopped beating.
