Chapter Fifteen

In dreams, I escaped the reality that haunted me as I was awake. It was a harsh reality that wasn't fair to live, a reality that would strike you down with all it has got. Even if that meant taking the ones you love from your life. I learned that this reality was a cruel one and I had no say in what went on, no say in who continued to be in my life. But even when reality took away the person most precious to me, they were still held closely in my heart. I woke to Gazardiel's presence at my door and I turned to him with stinging eyes. The night before, I had cried myself to sleep; a miserable day that had become a living nightmare. He stood there watching me and I stared back, unable to find the strength to get up and do anything. In truth, I was still bent out of shape on losing an important person my life and I didn't want anyone sympathizing with me. No, I just wanted peace... I just wanted seclusion. Instead of ignoring him, I found words falling from my lips in a harsh melody that scratched at my throat. "I want to move out of here," I said quietly, moving my eyes to the desk across the room. It was true; this house still held the ghost of Nikita; a residual memory I would not be able to shake, but something told me she was still here, just like she said she would be. He was silent for a moment, unmoving and watching me under careful eyes.

I knew he wasn't human; he was a celestial being but even then, he was as human as ever. The lines in his forehead whispered worry for my feelings. This was the first time that I could remember losing anyone that I loved and he seemed to know that. I could feel his hesitation at the door way, unsure of what he should do to console me. "You don't have to do anything to make me happy," I said to him. Sighing, he stepped into the room and stood at my bedside looking down at me. "Uriel, she meant a lot to the both of us," he said with clear pain laced in his words. He didn't have to say it; even after I attacked him for hurting her, I had felt something form between the two and my heart dropped, noting that we had both lost someone very dear to our hearts. "And though her presence still haunts us, we must keep this place. We won't have to go downstairs; we will train outside," he continued to say while looking around the room. I didn't want to be here, but with Nikita close in mind, I knew I shouldn't risk another day to find a place just to erase her haunting presence from my life. "On a better note; Jophiel will be residing here as well so I can keep an eye on you two," he said with a wink.
