The sun is can't be seen in the sky, the stars are beautifully shining on the sky and the moon is bright and round like before, finally the night came but Scorch and Elena is still watching a movie until Elena close her eyes, Scorch look at her and smile bitterly.
"I hope you don't repeat Christine's mistake" he said and carry Elena in a bridal style position, he wants everything to be put to their right place and he knows that Elena is the answer to that. Mistakes can be repeated not just once or twice because it can be repeated many times but there will always be a second chance for every mistakes and he knew that Elena was given one. He lay Elena in her bed and cover her body with a soft blanket, he look outside through the window to check if there's any creatures that wants to attack Elena but when he saw none he close the window and went outside but before that he close the lights into her room and he went straight to the living room, Scorch look around and check every single corner of the living room just to make sure that Elena will be safe, he may look like crazy but he just want Elena to have the second chance that he knew she deserve, he also went to the kitchen and he make sure that the back door is lock he also check the kitchen tools and everything that are harmful are in place, he sigh and went outside the house, he look around to check if there are other creatures nearby but when he saw none he just decided to go to the nearest playground, Scorch sat under the tree and look into the sky, the moon is shining so brightly like it is the sun in the night, the stars have different sizes too but all of it are shining so brightly too then a face suddenly appeared into his mind.
He wish that Veena is on his side but he knew that she have many things to do now that she was gone for almost a month because she was busy helping him that she temporarily forgot about her duty and he hope that she is not angry at him because of that, he chuckled because of his thoughts
"How are you now Veena?" He whispered to himself while still looking at the sky but still thinking of her, before he knew that Crystal and Veena are one he already admire her when they first met in the lost world, he saw a strict but kind demon, it doesn't mean that Veena was named as Demon of death doesn't mean that all she knew was to kill the creatures and then collect the souls, she have a good heart and she knew it since from the start,he smile again but it immediately had wipe off when he felt a sudden pain in his chest, he put his hand in it and he clench it but it doesn't work, his vision becomes blurred too feeling the pain in his head too

"Crystal.... Crystal are you there?" Alston said while looking around the woods just to find Crystal, the sun is setting but Crystal is not yet home so he decided to find her until his feet brought him at the west side of the forest where Crystal always stay, he look around until he saw someone sitting in a big rock
"Crystal!.... I knew you were here" he happily said while walking towards the rock where Crystal sit but he slowly stop when he notice something, Crystal is just sitting there while closing her eyes and there are black shadows that are floating around her, he felt scared but he choose to watch a little more to see what she is doing and to know who she really is, the shadows glow like they are on fire and he heard some whispers that makes his head hurts.
"Crystal! " he shouted then he fell in the ground while holding his head, Crystal suddenly opened her eyes and saw Alston on the ground so she run towards him
"Alston!........ Alston listen to my voice.... Don't listen to them, just focus on me" she said with tears flowing into her eyes while Alston is laying on her lap
"Crystal what are they? " Alston whispered while his eyes are half close
"I will explain later.... Just rest for now love" she said and Alston just smiled then close her eyes while Crystal is just humming his favorite song
That's the day that Alston found out that Crystal was a half demon but he still love her even if she is different from him, he trust her and Crystal is the same with him. Those whispers he heard was from the lost souls that Crystal was talking through her mind, it is the natural effect to humans when they saw a ritual between a demon and lost souls, Alston is lucky that Crystal is with him and because of that he didn't die. Many days past since the day that Alston knows the real Crystal but he still love her with all of his heart until one day after he cut all the woods that they needed while Christine is in the village to buy some foods be found Crystal in their kitchen while crying he immediately went to her.
"What happened? Are you hurt?" He said while looking at any possible injuries in her body but Crystal shook her head and giggle
"I'm pregnant" she said while she is still crying but at the same time smiling, Alston froze for a minute then he point himself
"I-im g-going to be a f-father" he stuttered and Crystal nodded her head slowly then suddenly Alston carry her and spin her around
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" he shouted and hug her tight then kiss her in the face multiple times
"Thank you for giving me the best day of my life, I really really love you and of course our little gift here" he said while caressing Crystal's stomach, it was the best day of his life but all of it got ruined when Christine decided to tell the hunters where Crystal live and they decided to burn them, if he had his best day he also have the worst day of his life that no nightmare can be compared to it.

Scorch head hurts more when he remember all those things that he can't prevent the tears from flowing into his eyes and when the pain is gone, his vision suddenly turned black as he lose his conscious and fell into the cold green grass of the playground.
Many whispers are can be heard while Veena is walking into the hallway but she didn't care about them, all she wants to hear is the voice of Diamond while explaining why does she want to talk to her, when she finally reach the door of Diamond's room she knock three times and the door open
"What do you want to talk to? " she said directly to the point while walking towards Diamond who is looking in the window
"The sky is very beautiful, isn't it? " Diamond said while still looking in the window that makes Veena cross her arms
"Answer my question Diamond" she said then the door open and Black went in then he sit in the couch beside the book shelf
"You talk like you don't have a sin and that is to keep secret to me" she said and coldness are visible in her voice, Veena may not show her emotions but deep inside she is scared to Diamond because she is one of the stronger Demons that's why she is one of the leaders in the council so Diamond have the rights to do anything to them
"I have my ears and my eyes Veena, so I know that you escape from the lost world to help an angel" Diamond said again then she walk towards her study table to pick up some papers while Black is just reading some books that he saw from the book shelf
"It is fine if you went out in the lost world to explore bit to help an angel?...... I don't think so" Diamond chuckled after she said that, that makes Veena feel the coldness because of her voice
"But Diamond...... He needs help and he didn't cause any harm so I guess it's fine" Veena explain to the eldest but she just smirk
"Didn't cause any harm?....... Oh yeah... He will no longer cause any harm because the angels will kill him for seeking help from a demon like you" she said with hardness in her voice and burn the paper in her hands using her ability, Diamond's eyes are shining with a deep red color indicating that she is angry but Veena didn't care about that because she is more worried to her statement
"That's not true right? " she hopefully said but Diamond just laugh at her
"I'm not lying Veena, the angels will kill him because it is one of the rules that angels have made, no angel can negotiate with demon because if they did they will kill the angel...... That rule was made hundreds of years ago and they respect it but because that angel didn't obey their rule they need to kill him" Diamond explain and Black just nodded as if his sister was talking to him
"You are one of the council right? Please tell the angels to spare him,to spare Scorch" Veena said and she didn't notice that she is already crying, Diamond's expression soften when she saw her crying, she treats Veena as her real sister so it hurts for her to see her like this.
