9 : Weird sibling love
Evelyn :
What just happened?
My mind was still trying to grasp the situation but it failed. After watching Raphael disappear from my sight to get his so-called 'brother', I could only stay in place with my mouth open, as I was told, until I realized how absurd it was but without any humor.
As my eyes widened, I realized that if I didn't stop Raphael then his brother would really be dead if he was telling the truth about dealing him in that way and I didn't want him to kill someone else in the same house where I was, even if I wasn't sure if I was guilty of that reason.
Quickly throwing another blouse on top of my body and putting the dirty in the laundry basket, I followed him to the other side of the house where I could already hear high pitched screams.
When I finally got to the kitchen, I stopped as if slapped in the face, seeing what was in front of me.
I had to blink really hard to believe it.
Raphael's brother was behind the food counter, with two knives in his hands, aiming at them to my kidnapper, who was literally in flames.
Everything on fire and to my surprise, although they did not touch the floor at all shockingly.
"I promise I'll be good! Raphyyy, my dear brother, don't do it, please!!!" as he pleaded, his eyes turned a little towards me when I noticed Raphael stiffen for a second but after a moment calming down, his shoulders lowered into a state of relaxation and the flames slowly disappeared from his skin, until the flames were gone, I noticed that he was naked all over.
Something broke out of my throat and I started coughing so horribly that I gasped and had difficulty breathing.
Omg, that view will be in my mind forever! Oh no! Why!!????
It didn't take a second for strong hands to grab me and squeeze my waist with force, hitting a pretty strong blow until my whole breath came back and I took a breath as hard as I could but there was no peace for a long time because I realized that Raphael was still holding me and completely naked.
In an instant I started hitting, trying to get out of his grip but I got caught, turned around until I saw two flaming eyes and my gaze, of course, lowered to make sure he wasn't really naked but luckily he was wearing shorts, not even knowing when and how he had put them on.
"Evelyn! I said stay put, why are you never listening to me? Never do that again, you scared me, baby,'' as he scolded me, I felt goosebumps by his touch.
I was probably more shocked by his nakedness than by what I had seen before - his whole body was on fire and I began to notice even the flaming wings but thinking that I had just imagined it was too late when the flames went out and I had entered the room.
" When I am in my true form, you can't be that close. In the end there may be consequences and I am afraid it may be too late until I can hurt you and I don't want that to happen," he continued through his anger, I just nodded and lowered my head in shame while letting out a small whimper of distress. His powerful tone has me feeling weak and vulnerable.
His authority, expressed in just a few words made me feel even smaller and powerless. My touch gives him nothing so I could only tilt my head as a sign that I give up and I am guilty of what I did.
I did even forgot that we are not alone.
"Umm, so.....are we putting my murder on hold for another time?" Luke asked uncertainly, being shocked by Raphael's actions and behavior towards me.
I giggled about it accidentally when I looked at him.
"It looks like it," I had no idea where I had the courage but I probably also had power over Raphael if he stopped himself because me.
Raphael tilted his head lower to snuggle my neck, sighing heavily.
"I can't stand him. Tell me, why we are family again?"
His brother laid the big blades on the table and smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Because I'm the best and you can't live without me."
Already feeling angry, Raphael's back stiffens as if he wants to turn around and I act faster before he jumps on top of his brother again.
Grabbing his face with both of my hands, I made him look me in the eye so he can calm down.
"Shusshh, you big angry Bear, just look at me. It's just me," I don't know what made me say those words but I knew they would calm him down because soon Raphael exhaled hard and hugged me more tightly, placing his forehead on mine.
"Gosh, you're an angel," he smiled and I knew I was in trouble for real this time because I was feeling sparks on my skin again as my heartbeat was even faster than before at the action.
Where did I get myself into when I broke into his territory?
