SAVE ME

Back In the Angel’s realm, Hermenes had left the gang to go to the cemetery.

He squatted down as he held the smiling picture of his parents.

“I hope I did the right thing, mother.

“I am actually worried about Lexy too -more than anyone- because I don’t trust that lord Damien, not one bit but I have to let Lexy live her life too, right?

“I hope they are happy wherever they are”

Hermenes placed a light kiss on his mother’s picture as he placed it down and went back upstairs.

As he was about to go back into the room to meet the gang, he aw Alexa entering the realm.

“Lexy?”

Alexa looked up and immediately tears filled her eyes.”Hermenes!”

The two siblings ran to hug eachother so tight with none of them wanting to let go off the other.

“I’ve missed you so much” Alexa said in tears.

“Liar. If you did, you would have called”

“We were in a place with no network service” Alexa refrained from Hermenes as she brushed his cheeks. “Thank you for letting me go”

“Anything for you, Lexy. Come on, the others have been waiting for you”

Alexa nodded her head as she followed Hermenes into her room.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Karina was the first to see Alexa. She screamed immediately as she headed towards the door. “Alexa!”

“Alexa?” Warren said with wide eyes.

The whole group ganged up on her as they hugged her tight and bombarded her with numerous questions.

“Where have you been?”

“Why didn’t you call us?”

“Do you know how worried sick we were?”

“Guys , hold on. I’ll answer all your questions one at a time but right now there’s something important I really need to tell you guys”

“What’s that?” Celine asked.

“I’m-”

Alexa got interrupted by the sound of a loud trumpet.

The loud trumpet sounded and resonated round the whole of Ava land.

All creatures, the wolves, the Witches, the elves , the wizards, the dragons stopped whatever they were doing as they assembled to the high ground.

The high ground was the only place apart from the dragon ball festival where all the creatures gathered because they were being called by the demon lord. The lord of all .

But this calling didn’t make sense because as they all thought, Damien has been missing for over a month.

Faren didn’t even bother to stand up from his throne. The only thing that was going to move him was his coronation.

“I wonder what could be the matter” Amanda whispered to Stella as they made their way to the high ground.

“I know. I’m scared to bits already with lord Damien missing”

“And so is that Angel who was having an affair with him” Alexander, a little dragon said involving himself in their conversation.

“Hey! If you are going to talk nasty about pretty lady, get out!” Amanda scolded Alexander smacking the back of his head.

“Easy there, Amanda. Remember where you are” Troy, a werewolf said bringing her attention to the fact that they’d arrived at the high ground.

When it looked like everyone had gathered, Valdir gestured his fingers at someone. “You can come out now”

Everyone gasped in shock as they saw Damien come out all draped in a black attire and with the crown on his head.

“Great people of Ava land, I come to you to ask for your forgiveness for going AWOL and neglecting my duties as your lord. I promise that would never repeat itself again.” Damien said with alot of distaste.

His father had forced him into writing a speech to apologize to the people and show them that he was worthy to become their king.

But hell, he only apologizes to Alexa!

“The reason you were all called out today is to announce you all the moment you’ve been waiting for- my wedding.

“Father himself gave his blessings just few days back”

Murmuring filled the air. It couldn’t be explained how their king who had gone MIA had come back to announce his marriage.

“No way. Is he still marrying lady Gezelle?!” Amanda said boiling in rage.

“Silence!” Valdir ordered as everywhere was quiet once more.

“I know you all might have some questions but keep it to yourself, I don’t care about any. Now the lady I’ll be marrying is no one other than Alexa Higgins.”

“What?!” Gezelle shrieked in disbelief.

She grabbed Valdir’s arms as she went out with him.

But meanwhile, Amanda squealed as she jumped up in excitement and gave Stella a high-five.

She sticked out her tongue at Alexander who shook his head at her childish behavior.

“The wedding will take place three days from now. You all can make yourself present or not, I don’t really care. Now dismiss”

The whole creatures dismissed as they broke out in murmurs.

“What was that!?” Gezelle shouted.

“Lower your voice”

“You gave me your word that Damien would be marrying me so now what’s going on!?”

“I gave you my word that Damien would marry you and that’s final , he will. I just did what I have to do to get him to come home because of my wife!”

Valdir pointed at Gezelle angrily. “And I’ll have you know that you are talking to not just anyone but KING Valdir so watch how you talk to me, little girl. You are one step away from a hot slap!”

Gezelle turned around as she walked away from Valdir in tears.

Faren stood up from his throne. This was impossible.

Damien was back and now marriage to that angel and soon an heir.

All his plans would be ruined. He had to act fast.

He couldn’t think of anyone who could plot against Alexa with him.

He seemed to have lost touch with Laura over the months and now..

He smiled as a plan came to him. If Gezelle loves Damien like she claims she does, she must be willing to do anything.

Just like how Laura did in the first place.

As soon as the announcement was made, Alexa turned to face the gang who was looking at her in disbelief. “So that’s the big announcement”

Warren blinked his eyes twice. “You’re getting married?”

“Yep”

“Tell me, did something happen between you and lord Damien in the span of the one month while you were away? Are you pregnant?” Anglassia asked.

Alexa shook her head”No, Nothing happened and I’m not pregnant”

Alexa turned to face Hermenes who had been quiet for far too long. “Say something, please”

“Does his family accept you?”Hermenes asked.

He could tell that the idea of marriage excited Alexa as well and he wasn’t going to going against it too.

He just needed to know that she would be okay while away from him.

So he needed to know if they accept her just fine.

“His father gave us his blessings. Does that count?”

A knock on their door was heard as the gang turned around to face the door.

They saw Rosco by the door.” Sorry for my interruption but lady Alexa, Queen mother, Marianna has asked to see you”

“I’ll come with-“Hermenes said but Alexa stopped him.

“I’ll be fine, I promise”

“I’ll wait up all night for your return”

Alexa nodded her head as she looked from one person to the other. “Take care guys”

“You too”

Hermenes watched his retreating sister’s back.

Suddenly this felt wrong. For many years, it’s been against the law for an angel to even step into the demon realm and now an angel and a demon was getting married.

And more importantly, King Valdir himself gave his blessings?.

He couldn’t help but just think about this random thoughts that threatened it’s way into his head.
