Ace POV

[Edited]

When I heard her scream, I knew something was wrong and my heart leaped out of my chest. Over the years of watching her, I have learned that nothing really scares her. Minus our kind of course. By our kind I mean angels and demons. She seems to be frightened by it all, but doesn't tell anyone about it.

Adina is one of those girls who hides emotions, mostly due to her past. She usually cuts people off if they get too close. That is what intrigues me the most. She hasn't pushed me away, nor Mia and Mason. I wonder what changed her, if only I could see her mind.

A year before she was born, I was sent down to kill her parents. At first, I was going to do it. Everyone craved their power, as did I. After spending months of watching over them, I didn't have the heart to kill them. Especially when I found out they were expecting a child. A child whom I saved. I betrayed my friend, not caring after a while, thinking about how insane his idea was.

If Adina learned about anything I am hiding from her, she would surely never forgive me. Her heart would be shattered, trust would be broken.

As she began to grow, I learned more about her. I promised I would keep her safe, so I did. I fell in love. When I first came in contact with her, I decided to keep my distance. When I learned what the Demon King and Leader of Angels was planning, I had to keep her safe and away. That didn't do much considering she didn't listen to me.

So here I am, holding her best friend in my arms while she is in danger. I would do anything for her, that doesn't stop now. When I heard the wings of an angel swing, I knew who it was with her. Xavier.

"Adian!" I yell his name, and the walls part, opening the portal out of here. I don't know how he got in here, much less got passed me. I thought there was only one opening in hell. I guess not.

I step through and hand Mia to him.

"He has her." I mumble, running my hand through my hair, getting it out of my eyes. I know exactly who I can go to. He will help me get her back considering I am no longer allowed through Heavens gates for betraying an order.

Someone like Adina should have never been brought into this world. She should have been with a normal family. Not a mother who was the Queen of Demons and a father who ruled all of angels. She deserved a family who was normal with normal family problems.

Adina is now the strongest being, I keep this from her yes, just so she doesn't put herself in more danger. Everyone already knows, that is why they want her dead and they want some sort of information.

"Who has her?" He asks with a confused expression. I have the urge to punch something, but I hold it down. Anger will get me nowhere.

"Xavier. I'm going to kill him if he hurts her I swear." I mumble, mostly to myself.

"How did he get through? I don't think there is another entrance."

"I don't know Adian, but I need to get her back before she is taken forever." I look over at him and see that he seems to be lost in thought. He mumbles something to himself, not loud enough for me to hear.

I grab Mia from him and swing her over my shoulder, being careful with her fragile body. [This trip should have been simpler than it has been. She should have never gotten hurt or taken.

"How are you going to get her back?" He asks.

"I have to go find Landon."

~~~~~~~~~~

I hear Mia groaning in the backseat. I know something is wrong with her but it could be from lack of food and all of the possible broken ribs. Demons are not kind and do not hold back when it comes to torturing. They find pleasure in it.

I decide to leave as soon as I can so I can make it to Landon before Xavier has enough time to harm her. I know she is strong enough, but I could never see her hurt again. Something inside me starts to stir when I think of how she could look like Mia when I see her next.

We should have stayed closer together, or I should have grabbed her before the floor split. Maybe she would be with my right now, heading to pick Mason up so he could see his twin sister.

I know exactly where he is; Alaska. After I was sent down to kill Adina's parents, Landon and I stayed friends. He was sent down here a while after I was, for a reason I do not know. Him and I stayed in contact, and he knows I didn't kill them. The only ones who think I did are the Demon King and Xavier. No one really knows the truth, not even Landon.

He can still get into Heaven, and I know he will do anything I ask because he owes me. I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I keep imagining Adina dead or seriously hurt.

I know falling in love with her should have been avoided, but I couldn't resist. I attached myself to her over the years, staying in the shadows to make sure she never saw. I almost regret not meeting her earlier, maybe she would feel the same way.

I may have been sent down to kill her, but it is now my destiny to protect her. She has so much ahead of her and I need to be the one who she can rely on.

I just hope we get to that point.
