The Assassin

Chapter Fourteen

He wanted to kill people, she wanted to save them. He doesn't value anyone's life, she cared for everyone. Violence was his key to solve his problems, kindness was her way of solving her problems. He had a hard past, and so did she. Yet she remained kind and humble like a real Angel, while he ended up like a beast. Although only she can keep the beast saint without using any force. They were like the perfect yet imperfect couples.

Only Phinks and Shane knew the truth, the truth of how much they loved each other. They may not say it but they can see it. And that is why they had to abort the mission. Now that they have reunited again, they will make sure that this time, no one will get in their way of getting the two of them together. He was Lucifer's only happiness anyway.

"Whoa, look a lake!" Angel squealed as she saw the sight of a lake.

Lucifer always knew that she loves going to a lake and this is why he brought her there.

"Come on slow folks, hurry up!" Angel ran towards the lake and Lucifer shook his head for rushing an Assassin when he knows that he could run faster than her.

When they got to the lake, Angel's mouth went agape as she mesmerized the view in front of her.

"This is beautiful!" She exclaimed as Lucifer stood beside her.

"Like you." Lucifer unexpectedly commented and Angel looked at him.

"What did you just said?" She questioned and Lucifer flinched in surprise.

"I said it's true, it is beautiful." Lucifer looked the other way and tried to hide his blush.

'What is wrong with you Lucifer! Get it together!' Lucifer thought as he figures out what was happening inside him.

His heart was pounding, millions of butterflies were flying inside his stomach and he couldn't stop staring at Angela. The same feeling he felt when they were young before, a feeling that he doesn't even know what it's called, the only feeling that changed him.

When Lucifer was in deep thought, Angel had a plan of pushing him into the river so she backed away without him noticing her.

"BANZAIIIIIII!" Angel screamed as she ran towards Lucifer.

Angel thought that she will be able to push him in the water, but Lucifer took a sidestep, making her go straight in the water. She widens her eyes as she made contact with the water. When she was under the water, she had a plan of getting Lucifer back.

She pretended that she was drowning even though she could fully stand on the water. Lucifer stared at her for a while, thinking if it was a prank or not. When he was convinced that she was really drowning, he placed the shopping bags down then jumped into the water.

He was surprised when he immediately made contact with the floor, knowing that it wasn’t that deep for anyone to drown. He went up the water and so did Angel. He gave her a straight face while Angel cracked up laughing.

“I got you back.” Angel commented and Lucifer weakly splashed water on her.  "How did you know I was coming anyway? Is that Assassin's instinct?"

"If someone charges at you from behind, screaming at the top of her lungs, where you can clearly hear it, will that be called Assassin's instinct or just a reckless person who gave away her plan?" Lucifer replied and Angel felt like an i***t for not thinking that.

"Oh... right... hehe my bad." Angel rubbed the back of her neck.

She didn’t realized but the makeup that she used to cover her cuts got washed away. As soon as Lucifer saw her cuts, he grabbed her wrist harshly.

“What is this?” He questioned and Angel was shocked.

She tried yanking her wrist away but Lucifer held a tight grip on it.

“You’re hurting me.” Angel complained and Lucifer widens his eyes before releasing her.

“S-sorry…” Lucifer apologized and Angel held her wrist.

They both got out of the water and was now sitting under the tree. Lucifer was ashamed of himself for hurting her and not knowing that Angel used to cut herself. No one spoke a word or even make eye contact until Lucifer decided to break it.

“Why did you cut yourself?” He gathered up all his courage to ask her.

It was silent for a moment before Angel opened her mouth to speak.

“Personal problems, nothing you should worry about.” She replied.

“If you’re cutting yourself like this, then it should be something I’m worried about.” Lucifer said softly.

“No it isn’t, plus it’s my life not yours.” Angel defended and Lucifer stood up.

“You should tell me, I have the right to know!” Lucifer fires back and Angel raised an eyebrow while standing up as well.

“Your right? You’re not my boyfriend, I barely even know you, so why should I tell you?” What Angel asked made Lucifer widen his eyes.

He had forgotten that Angel doesn’t even remember him anymore and it hurts for him to hear that Angel barely knows him. He wanted to tell her who he was at that exact moment, but realized that it was pointless because she still won’t remember who he really is anyway.

“You’re right, you barely don’t even know me. I’m nobody important in your life and will never be one, it should say that way.” Lucifer sadly said before jumping up the tree and leaving her behind.

“Why did you even accompany me in the first place!” Angel shouted as she remembered that they went there so that she can have an inspiration of writing her love song but all she got was an argument.

She was frustrated that she had to carry all the shopping bags and walked all the way home by herself. The only problem though is that she doesn’t remember her way back home.

'Lucifer, why did you leave me? What's up with your sudden change of attitude?" Thought Angel.
