My Love, Darkness

Chapter 18

Tumingin muna sa kaniya si Kellan bago nito binuksan ang pinto at pinauna siyang pumasok.

"So who wants a fansign?" Humarap sa kanila ang bokalista. Mas nag-focus ang mata nito sa kaniya habang may ngiti sa labi at hawak ang isang baso ng alak.

The vocalist has a light aura surrounding on its body. Titus sensed that the guy in front of them was not even just a mortal but also, someone who has powers.

Sa likod ng inosente at nakangiti nitong mukha, nasisiguro niyang hindi ito basta-bastang bokalista lang.

"Nephilim," Kellan calls to the man, and Titus' confusion is answered.

The vocalist's face turned serious as his gaze turned to Kellan who is also serious at the moment.

Napailing-iling si Titus pagkatapos ay napabuntong-hininga. He was about to speak when the Nephilim cut him off.

"So what brings the both of you here in Russia?" The Nephilim said then sips on his mug.

"We need your help, Nephi—" Kellan's words were also cut off.

"If you want me to help you, grim reapers. Better start calling me on my name," The guy said as he put down his mug on a table. "Call me, Larid."

Titus stood still as he keeps his grim face on the half-demon, half-angel in front of them. Now, that it's a Nephilim they are dealing with, he needed to be extra cautious because if Lamia can fight him off, how about it was a Nephilim he's fighting?

He's a grim reaper. There are two grim reapers in the room but he wouldn't want to be overconfident, relying on their advantage.

"So what help do you need with?" Larid asked with a curious face.

"We need a weapon to fight a demon," Kellan said that made Larid laugh out loud.

"Oh, slaying a demon. Damn." Larid started laughing until his stomach started to ache.

Nanatili lang silang nakatingin sa lalaking parang baliw na tumatawa sa harapan nila.

"Wa-wait..." Larid said, slowly toning his self down, trying his self to stop laughing. "I heard it right. You wanted to fight a demon and kill it."

Titus felt like their time was being wasted. He can't endure another minute thinking about the mortal girl being held captive by a powerful demon. Kaya naman hindi na siya nakapagtimpi at humarap kay Larid.

"Yes. You heard f*****g right what he just said but we can't waste another minute here! I need to f*****g save the girl!" ani Titus na may diin at inis sa kaharap nilang nilalang ngayon.

Larid's fun face faded. It was replaced by a shocked face that made Titus sighed.

"Lamia?" Larid asked and they both nodded.

"What did Lamia do? And who is this girl that you wanted to save?" Larid asked, staring at Kellan and Titus' grim faces. "You are both a grim reaper. You are supposed to be leading souls in the underworld, not saving one from a demon. It's a natural case."

Titus' brows drew together and his jaw tensed. "That girl is different. She's not just a mortal. She's a six-year old girl who has a messed up family, mistreated by her step-mother and unloved by her father but still, she was so pure. Pure and innocent. She's different Larid. Completely different," Titus stated with adoration on his eyes and he let Larid see it.

He let Larid see what he saw from Phoebe. Of what kind of mortal Phoebe is. And what kind of world she lives in with her parents that made Larid frowned with sympathy visible in his eyes.

"I had to say..." Larid trailed off while looking deep into his eyes. "That mortal child worth the risk."

Nakahinga ng maluwag si Titus. All he can think right now is saving Phoebe and he admits, he really needs help.

He needed help to save her. Walking right to the Nephilim's place, he knows that Kellan is not bluffing Kellan said to him that he will help him. Larid can help him.

"But what is it that you need?" Larid asked and turned his gaze on Kellan. "You said a weapon?"

"Yeah." Kellan wore off his fedora. "A silver angel blade to be exact."

Titus' brows creased. It can't be happening that they needed something that can also kill them.

Napatitig siya kay Kellan at napabuntong-hininga na lamang. This motherfucker. They are vulnerable to an angel blade and can be killed by it.

"You do know that it can f*****g kill us right?" He asked to Kellan as a matter of fact.

Kellan nodded. "Yeah, but this blade that I'm talking about are mostly used by an angel, hunters, or even demons," Kellan answered and turned to Larid. "That's why I know that you Larid have one."

Larid's jaw went slack. "You serious?"

Kellan nodded and when Larid looked at Titus, he also nodded as an answer that made Larid curse. "Look," Larid said, uncomfortable with their plan.

"I'm only half-angel, half-mortal but it doesn't mean I will let you have my mother's gift to me. Never."

"Then you can come with us, fight Lamia," Kellan said and Larid looks not cool with it.

Napailing-iling si Larid. Nasa mukha nito ang pagkataranta na ikinatawa ng mahina ni Titus. p***y.

"No. Fine, fine. Shit." Larid went near to a drawer and took out the angel silver blade.

Titus stared at the angel silver blade. It's a long, triple-edged dagger that has a cross engraved on the handle.

Kuminang ito dahil sa tumamang sinag ng buwan na nanggagaling sa bintana ng kuwartong iyon.

Titus took a step backward when he felt the silver blade's purity. He sighed. It's a weapon made by God for his warriors. It can kill him in one s***h to his skin.

"I don't want to fight Lamia. That demon b***h monster is powerful. My Dad was one of her victims but my Mom, Alexia save my father. To summarize it all, My angel mom was in love with my mortal dad so she save dad when Lamia tried to victimized my dad. They both fell in love and here I am so..." Larid sighed and give the angel blade to Titus.

"My mother gave this to me so that when the time comes that I met someone who is worth saving, this blade could help.'

Titus took the angel blade and looked at it.

Wait for me, Phoebe. I will save you no matter what.
