157 Safe and sound (1/2)

She could hear someone calling her name though it was faint since the static was currently overpowering her sounds... even so she was glad she wasn't in this hell alone anymore...

”lily”

She felt someone grab her from behind.

Her vision slowly started to become normal as the spirals slowly started to dissolve one by one. The static began to fad as well. But she'd slowed her comprehension of her situation...

With her semi blurred unstable vision the person in front of her...in desperation she'd hoped it was her prince that had come to save her in the depths of hell.

...but then why'd the surroundings look a little like red grave and neros house?

Was Nero holding her? ...no it couldn't be he had a demon arm

[currently still has one]

And that shit glows when he's worried about something.

Was it really Dante had this all been an elaborate prank set up by her council? Had the plan worked? Was he home?

Unable to tell as her eyes were trying to adjust to light from the terrible trip she just had...

She opened her mouth to speak but instead of being able to form a sentence...

”He- hmph?....”

She was silenced with a kiss

My heart skipped a beat.

The way he was kissing me...the way he was holding me close it was so like him at least it felt like it was...

I felt myself relax and steadied my breathing in his arms

(I missed you...)

Only Dantes ever held me like that it's always made me feel so safe and happy...

As he vision had slowly started to stabilize and the static sounds had began to dull down slowly but surly being replaced back with the normal sounds of her surroundings. She could hear muffled talking and the outline of someone dear coming back into view...

Though not the one she's expected.

...re you even listening to me? Lily can you even hear me right now?”

I saw her face go pale she was already pretty fair to begin with but this made me panic that something even worse was happening to her.

She was cold.

Her hair was a mess.

Her hands are bloody bruised and missing her fricken finger nails as well as bruising up to her for arms...

Her heart rate sounds alarmingly fast.

I bit my lip and attempting to pick her up

Intending to rush her to the nearest hospital not wanting to be picky about it.

Humans are fragile.

They're just to dam breakable even their own body's could turn on them in the correct conditions.

Her trembling cold little arms were trying to keep me at bay.

Though useless as the gesture is I can't forcefully take her anywhere I'm not entirely sure weather this damage was her own doing or something else's.
