King
"You were unsure which pain is worse- the shock of what happened, or the ache for what never will"
Blossom's POV
"Sin!" I screamed in agony, watching him fly backwards and hit the wall
The brick cracked under his impact
He lay on the ground, coughing and spluttering as he clutched his stomach, before his eyes shot back up to me
His pitch. Black. Eyes.
"Sin..." I whispered
"What... what are you doing here?" He asked. Killian
I didn't know what to say. What was he doing here?
Where even was here?
"I-..." I couldn't speak, my eyes were too focused on his stomach, he was hurt
My mate was hurt. My Sin.
I heard Lucian grunt, before he went for Sin again
"Killian!" I called out worriedly, his head snapped to Lucian, and he stood up straight. Strong
I could see the pain in his eyes but he was determined not to lose.
They threw punches at each other, both looked so bloody in the face.
And Lucian threw in as much fire as he could. And Sin dodged every one of them.
Though I suppose it wasn't Sin. It was Killian.
Killian was in control. But he didn't know how to use demon powers. He didn't know what his potential was yet.
"You're really pushing it now kid" Lucian spat
"And you're still not paying for what you did" Killian shouted
"What I did was fair" He shouted back
"No! Because we didn't kill Raven. Or Narissa. It was no ones fault. Yet you went after my mate anyway!" Killian shouted angrily, and I watched as his eyes started to glow again.
Just like they had when he had collapsed. When him and Raven had both started glowing and she... she...
"Well clearly she didn't die. I didn't do a good enough job it seems" he thought out loud, looking at me.
I felt a chill run down my back
All eyes were on me, I didn't like being the focus of attention as it was
But having a whole community of demons glaring at me. I felt very unsafe.
"Don't look at her!" Killian shouted
I jumped slightly from the tone and volume of his voice. He sounded so mad
Lucian chuckled
"Stop with the dramatics boy, you may not have directly killed my wife but you sure as fuck were the reason she died! So it's only fair I take someone from you" he said, setting his gaze back on me.
I watched fire spring from his hands, the flames dancing along his skin as he glared at me with a smirk.
"Don't you fucking dare" Killian spat
"Why not? A life for a life eh..." he smiled, raising his arm ready to strike me
I staggered back slightly, but I felt two sets of hands grab my arms.
"Wha..." the onlookers had grabbed me
Restraining me.
"Let me go" I struggled
"Get your hands off her. Now!" Killian shouted angrily, striding towards me
Which meant his back was turned to Lucian.
Allowing the fire to spread through his body without Killian noticing
And then I saw it swirling towards me.
Like a blaze of hopelessness
The end... the one thing Lucian had wanted
But as I shut my eyes, fearful of the incoming flames I felt someone in front of me.
Before I was ripped from the grasp of the demons and pulled into a chest
I was completely consumed by Sin right now, I could recognise that heavenly scent anywhere
And then I felt hot
Too hot. And I knew what had happened.
Sin... Killian... whoever was in control
He'd protected me from the incoming fire, bearing the brunt of it.
And I couldn't have felt more pain than in that moment.
I've already lost so many people
Sin's lost his sister... even to a point he lost Narissa
A complicated relationship but she was still his mother
And now I felt like I was losing him
Hearing him grunt in pain as he clutched me so tightly to his chest.
Hearing the other demons gasp and shout in pain to get away from the fiery blaze.
The heat eventually stopped, and I dare not look up to see the damage Lucian had caused
But when I did. I was... scared
Very very scared
Killian was... I-I'd never seen him like this before.
He was bigger. Darker. Eyes pitch black and veins running black under his skin. A white glow radiating off his in waves.
His horns were glowing with a winding red light and his wings were high and proud
The burn marks across his wings were evident, there were little holes were they'd been ripped open... broken.
Like a fallen angel...
I felt the tears spill out of my eyes, his wings were heartbreaking to look at
He'd never be able to use them. They were... they were ruined
To protect me...
They were a scarred battlefield of every flame he'd sheltered me from. It hurt. It hurt to see him so... broken
Everyone stood shocked. I'm assuming they thought Sin would be dead from that. I certainly would of been if I had been in the firing line
But I think he was a lot stronger and powerful than any of these demons thought.
Or Lucian. Because he stood there with an expression so shocked it was like he'd seen a ghost.
"Don't cry" Killian said, with a softer tone that usual as he cupped my cheek
I couldn't stop though, I couldn't help it
He only just started embracing his demon. Embracing this kind of world.
Although I still wasn't sure where this was.
And now he's hurt. All because of me
"Stay here. Close your eyes" he grunted, pushing me back softly until my back hit the wall, his hands gripping my hips tightly
"Wh- what?" I asked confused
"Close your eyes" he said simply, I could tell he was trying to hold the pain back.
"What are you going to do?" I asked worriedly, tightening my hold on his forearms
I didn't want him to leave me again.
And I didn't want him to get hurt.
"Close" he commanded, I couldn't help but oblige. The pure dominance radiating off him right now didn't leave much negotiation for thinking.
I stood there, clueless with eyes closed as I felt his warmth drift away from me
And a few moments later... I heard Lucian cry out in pain
I had to open them. Didn't I?
Whatever he was going to do, he didn't want me to see
But I had to. He was my mate.
I should be able to see him at his best and at his worst. Even if it sounds terrifying
So I slowly peeked them open, catching sight of another fight. But it was more one sided this time
Killian was relentless. Punching, grunting, slashing away at Lucian.
And as much as Lucian tried to fight back, he wasn't quick enough. He wasn't strong enough.
"Hell will freeze over before I ever let you anywhere near my mate again!" Killian said angrily, punching Lucian to the floor
The fire emitting from Lucian's hands.
It did nothing...
It didn't effect Killian. Not the way he had wanted it to. I could tell Killian was in pain but he ignored it
He pushed through it, so blindsided by hatred he had no room for agony.
Lucian chuckled
"Your mate... was dead the moment my Narissa breathed her last breath" he spat angrily
"Blossom had nothing to do with it. No one did. Get that through your thick head before I kick it in" Killian said, striding towards him.
"Either way. Poor bitch should die. Having a mate like you. A pup so disgustingly disappointing my Narissa didn't even want you" he chuckled
Killian didn't even waste a breath before he reached down and gripped him by the throat.
"Don't call her that!" He warned
Lucian laughed
"So you're okay being called the worthless piece of shit you are... but one word about the precious white wolf whore and you're upse-"
There was no chance to finish his sentence
No chance for anything. How did he even know?
The very air in the room turned stone cold...
As Killian... rammed his claws through Lucian's throat
There wasn't a single noise from anybody
No gasps. No cries. Just pure shock
The only sound that could be heard was the quiet gargle of Lucian... c-choking on his own blood.
I really wished I hadn't opened my eyes
The look on Killian's face. The terror he evoked in every one of the people watching from the sidelines
He snarled at him, before he lowered him slightly, retracting his hand only to drive it through Lucian's chest.
Again... and again... an again
Minutes upon minutes of endless violence
Of a rage so lethal no one dared intervene.
Lucian's body finally slumped onto the floor, sliding off Killian's claws and laying in a lifeless lump.
Killian looked around
"Your king is dead" he proclaimed
King?
"If I see any one of you again you'll end up worse than him" he grunted out, swaying slightly in his place, his hand weakly holding his ribs.
Then his eyes fell on me. And he walked towards me slowly, still trying to cover up the pain he was inflicted with
"Baby" he let out, grabbing my face in his bloody hands.
I didn't know what to say
The only reaction I gave was the way my body jilted when he grabbed me
He... he...
What I just saw was... terrifying
I knew Killian was scary. I knew Kade had a reputation.
But... I never thought it would be something like this.
"Baby... talk to... me" he said faintly, before he dropped to the floor
His stomach was burned. His wings were torn and broken... with holes of pain lacing the black feathers.
"Killian?" I gasped worriedly, dropping down to his side
He groaned, barely responding at all.
"We should take him while he's down" a demon commented
"We need to abide by tradition" a woman spoke up.
"Screw tradition. He's going to die" another whispered
I couldn't take it. The pain
His cries. Peoples whispering
I felt everything slipping out of my reach and I felt too overwhelmed with all my emotions.
So... so...
I felt my body shift slightly, like I had been enlightened, lifted up. I felt like a light had entrapped me...
Sin's POV
Killian... he'd- he'd done the one thing I never wished would happened
He actually exposed Bloss to the violence inside of me
And it was a nightmare compared to Kade
Kade had done som horrifying things.
He'd slain. Clawed. Bit
He'd teared enemies limb from limb
But I never wanted Blossom to see that
I never wanted her to experience how much of a monster I truly was.
And now... now I was in pain. The Adrenalin had worn off but Killian was still in control
And still clutching our burned chest as Blossom sat frantically by our side
Maybe this is how it's supposed to be.
I die... for her
The burning against my stomach was unbearable
And Killian could fake it all he wanted to. But I felt the pain in our wings. The holes burned through.
But I would do the same all over again
I'd take a thousand bullets. A thousand cuts, bruises, scars... death
Anything to keep her safe.
I just needed her by my side, holding my hand and telling me how much she loves me
Whilst Killian frantically tried to convey how hurt we were.
Groaning and grunting.
But when I finally opened my eyes enough to gaze up at her:..
To memorise every little bit of her gorgeous face before I... move on... I didn't see my mate. My Blossom.
I saw white eyes staring back at me. A white aura radiating off her petite body as she sat beside me worriedly
Her dainty hands wrapped comfortingly around my forearm
And slowly... I felt... changes?
I felt like my wings were... fixing?
Like I could actually feel the holes closing up as feather cracked from my wings
What the fuck is happening?
