asked in worry.
She gasped lightly and looked at him. He looked sad and wiped the tears away as she shook her head. He embraced her as she gasped and her eyes widened.
APlease Selene, tell me what=s wrong,A he muttered sadly as his eyes opened.
She got out of his grasp and sat on the window as he stood in front of her.
AI just want this war to end. No more people dying, no demon either, just to be peaceful again,A she said.

He sighed and sat beside her and gripped her hand as she gripped back. He smiled and put his hand on her face.
AWe=ll get through this, once we kill every demon. We=ll go somewhere. We=ll be at peace just you and I, I promise,A he said.
She forced a smile and he smiled as he kissed her. Demetri felt her pain, her sadness and then how he kissed her as he growled, tightening his grip on the tree.
AHow dare he kiss her! If I ever encounter him during this battle, I=ll make him regret ever touching my girl, my precious Selene !@ He thought.
Sol had gone to bed and he stayed in the tree, thinking of Selene and his memories of her. Heras was walking back to bed when he stopped and turned toward Selene.
AAre you coming back to bed?@ He asked.
AI think I=ll stay here a bit longer,A she said as she stared at the stars.
She smiled as she thought of Demetri and her memories with him, the happy times they had with each other. Two days later the angels and demons went different ways. Selene was walking through a deep forest as she had her sword in hand. Suddenly one of Demetri=s demons appeared and attacked.
She grunted as she blocked its sword, sliding backwards. She screamed as it stabbed her chest and went backwards. She rolled to the side as it hit the ground with its sword. It struck again as she jumped back and chopped its arm off.
It howled and stabbed its sword through her chest, pinning her to a tree. She gasped as her eyes widened, and then coughed up blood.
AThis demon... he=s stronger than an immortal. He made my attacks slow down!A she thought as blood ran down her mouth and chest.
The demon made another weapon appear in its hand and raised it. She looked at it. It smirked and swung down and she closed her eyes.
AIt Looks like I=m going to die here,A she thought sadly.
A picture of Demetri flashed through her mind, and then a lot of memories as she smiled sadly.
AI=m sorry Demetri, I won=t make it. I love you,A she thought.
She closed her eyes and waited for the blow, but it never came.
Instead she heard a sickening crack and a howl. She opened her eyes and gasped.
ADe... Demetri!@ she said in shock.
His aura was around him and his hand was through the demons chest. He growled as his eyes glowed lightly.
ADid you not hear me clear enough?! I said you can kill anyone but Selene or Heras!@ Demetri growled at the demon.

He ripped his hand out of its chest and it fell to the ground, decaying quickly. He turned toward Selene and his eyes went back to normal. His eyes widened as he gasped in shock.
ASelene!@ he said as he rushed toward her in worry.
He pulled the sword out of her chest. She screamed and he went to his knee, holding her in his arms.
ASelene, are you alright?@ He asked.
She smiled at him and nodded as her wound started healing. He smiled and leaned down she closed her eyes. He was almost about to kiss her when he felt a sword at his neck. He glanced behind him, smelling who it was.
ADon=t you dare kiss my wife,A Heras growled angrily.
Selene opened her eyes and saw him. He growled and pushed his sword against Demetri=s throat. Demetri glanced back and glared at Heras.
ANow let her go,A Heras growled.
Demetri let Selene go and she stood up as her hands went to her chest. She was worried for Demetri as her eyes started to glaze over with tears a little.
Heras grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. He grabbed his sword with both hands.
AYou=ll pay for touching my wife!A Heras growled.
Demetri chuckled and Heras growled angrily. Demetri grabbed his sword and slashed at Heras as he backed up. An aura went around Demetri and Heras had one around him too.
AThat=s is my line. Before she was forced to marry you, she and I were lovers. How dare you touch her with your filthy hands!@ Demetri growled.
Heras and Demetri disappeared and Selene gasped as their swords clashed.
ADemetri!@ She shouted, scared for his life.
Heras forced Demetri back and he crashed into a tree as Selene rushed toward him. Heras stabbed his sword in Demetri=s chest and he growled.
@That may be, but she and I love each other now. Even though we share the same bed, share the same feelings, the only thing she thinks about is me, not you!A Heras growled in his ear.
He forced his sword deeper into Demetri. He screamed and his head hung. Heras growled and Selene embraced him as she cried.
AHeras stop it! Please don=t kill the man I love!@ She shouted as she clutched him tightly.
Heras snapped and pushed Selene to the ground. She gasped as his sword went to her chest, rage on his face.
AYou love him!@ He shouted angrily.

Selene looked at Demetri, his head still hung as blood ran down him. She looked at Heras as he growled and nodded.
ASelene how could you... He=s a worthless demon. You=re an angel, angels kill demons. You cannot fall in love with one!@ He shouted, raising his sword.
She gasped at the look in his eyes.
AI have no choice. A traitor angel needs to be put down,A he said.
He swung his sword and Selene closed her eyes, feeling a sword strike her arm and another one coming at her. She opened her eyes when she didn=t feel any pain and gasped as her eyes widened in shock. Demetri was standing beside Selene, Heras=s sword in his hand. Demetri had blood going down him as he panted.
AThere=s no way in hell, I=m letting you kill Selene!@ Demetri growled, glaring at Heras with a murderous glare.
Heras growled and swung as Demetri ducked and thrust his hand foreword. Selene gasped as blood spilled and Heras dropped his sword, coughing up blood. Demetri had stabbed Heras through his chest and his hand covered in blood. Heras glared at him and his eyes closed slowly.
Demetri pulled his hand out of him and his body fell foreword, and then decayed fast.
ADemetri,A Selene whispered as he looked at him.
He looked at her and his eyes went back to normal as he smiled. His eyes widened as he coughed up blood. He went to his knees and fell foreword as Selene gasped. She rushed toward his falling body as his eyes slowly closed.
ADEMETRI!@ She shouted, catching his body in her arms and going to her knees.
She flipped his body in her arms, her right hand under his back, and her left on his chest. He opened his eyes and looked at her as rain began to fall. She put her left hand on his hand on that was on her cheek. Moments passed as Selene cried and Demetri tried to calm her, but it wasn=t working.
AShhhh, Selene please don=t cry like that. Please,A he whispered sadly.
She shook her head as more tears fell on his chest and face. He leaned up, hissing in pain and kissed her. She gasped as her eyes widened in shock. Demetri was gripping his wound tightly, blood running down his mouth.
He parted and hissed in pain as she laid him back against her arm.

ABetter now?@ He asked as he caressed her cheek softly.
She laughed lightly and nodded as he smiled. An hour passed and they were still like that, waiting for his wound to heal. It healed slowly as they watched the stars. Five stars shot across the sky and her eyes glowed brightly as he watched her.
ADemetri look over there!@ She said, pointing toward a waterfall and a river.
Above it, in the sky, was a lunar rainbow as the water glowed underneath it. He looked that way and smiled.
AHey, Selene?@ He asked, looking at the rainbow.
She looked at him and smiled as the moonlight hit her. He looked at her and sighed a little.
ALet=s make a promise between you and I. That we=ll stay together, no matter what happens,A he said.
She nodded and his wound was healed as he cupped her cheeks in his hands. He leaned up and kissed her, his lips gentle on her. She moaned a little as his lips brushed against hers, and then he kissed her passionately. He pushed her on the ground and took off her shirt as she took of his, kissing each other more.
Two hours passed and Demetri was on his back as he sighed. Selene had her head and arms on his chest as she slept. He smiled as he wiped her hair out of her head. He laid there, looking at her and smiled as he watched her breathe.
ASelene once this war is over, we=ll be at peace,A he thought.
Five days passed and he was captured, wounded from a previous battle. He was brought to Selene=s house in a carriage as a man told Selene about it and she rushed out of the house.
ADemetri,A she whispered, holding back tears as she saw the condition he was in.
ALady Selene, you will fight to the death with him. We will win this war with you leading us,A the man said.
They took him to an open space by a river and Selene faced him. They stood there for a moment in silence as they looked at each other.
@Demetri,A she whispered, the wind picking up and blowing her hair in front of her.
He looked at her and pulled out his sword. She gasped as her eyes widened when a pulse going through her.

ATrust me, we=ll run away together,A he thought to her as he smiled.
She grunted as she blocked his attack, and then went to her knees at the impact.
ADe... Demetri,A she grunted.
She coughed up blood and his eyes widened as he gasped. She forced him back and she stood up slowly. He was falling backwards as she raised her sword with both hands.
AGoodbye Demetri. I love you remember that,A she said, tears running down her face as she smiled.
Demetri gasped as his eyes widened, he couldn=t hear anything other than his beating heart. Time seemed to slow down for him as she closed her eyes and plunged the sword down. He reached his hand to her.
ASELENE!!@ He screamed, watching the sword going toward her chest, fear and terror on his face.
Selene smirked and turned around as she summoned Armageddon in her hand. Demetri sat there in shock as she glanced back at him.
“You had a plan, right?” she asked as she smirked more.
Demetri nodded and stood up as he summoned
