An Angel

Why Alice was telling him that he could force answer out of him, Emmy barely listened to what she said because what he was looking at was making his heart burn.

[You have spent 10 minutes without feeding yourself.

But you have managed to get your target's package, so lord Lucifer has given you a little grace]

[At the countdown of 3, get one bite of your target's food]

"PLEASE, ONE BITE!!!" Emmy pleaded as he got on his knees.

Alice was startle for a second because she didn't understand the sudden change of tone, but still, she decided to play along.

"Why would I let you have a bite out of the old woman's food that she worked hard to get." Alice said in a cool tone. "And tell me, why are you stealing?" She asked Emmy who was currently holding onto his tummy and in the next seconds, he screamed...

"Arghhhh." Emmy shouted as he started rolling on the ground.

"Oh interesting, you think I'll buy this." Alice said as she moves closer to him, but Emmy was rolling on the ground violently.

The pain was coming from within, from his bladder up to his chest.

It was as if the whole fire in hell was being placed inside of him, his internal organs were on the edge of burning down but for some reason, although, they're burning but not turning to ash, instead they were screaming for help. And Emmy could sworn that he heard every single parasite in his body cried for help.

This pain is too much for him to handle and Alice was starting get afraid because this looks more than acting. At first, she thought Emmy might have decided to use some trick on her and this act is one of them, but as she could see that the poor boy was rolling violently and screaming wildly, his muscles were bulging, she knew this is more than acting.

'What's wrong with him?' She thought.

"Hey, will you get up now." She shouted at him but there's was no luck.

"Idiot, you think I'll buy this acting of yours? Just get up and let's talk now before I give you a good beating now." She shouted trying to call his attention, Alice didn't know why, but her heart was beating faster and her leg was shaking.

She's not scared but just confused.

The pain continue on Emmy, what's worse; he hadn't lost his senses, he could still hear her voice. This much pain would have made some people go insane, but for some reason, Emmy hadn't lost his senses, which is worse because the more he could feel, the more pain and eternity it will go.

And he hasn't even spent up to 5 minutes, which means he'll still have to be in this same position with unending pain for more than 45 minutes.

Alice had an horror look on her face, she's confused.

At first, she thought all of it is just an act, it was hard for her to process, she didn't even know how it all started, trying to get everything clear, she started to think back.

First, she saw a blind woman calling for help on the street, moving closer to her, the woman pointed at Emmy who was running away with her package.

Then Alice followed him, she started running after him, till they got to the tiny hallway where she had double crossed him and gave him a heavy kick in the stomach.

'But, that shouldn't have got him in this situation, it's just a normal kick.' She thought as she pinched her chin. 'Okay, let me try this.'

Moving closer to him, Alice bent down. Looking closer at his body, stream of dark sweat was running down his face, slightly moving her hand to his forehead to check his temperature, Alice immediately retreated her hand.

"What's this?" She said in a shaky voice, even just touching his forehead, she could instantly feel her skin being engulfed by an invisible pain of fierce flame.

"Is this what he's suffering from right now? And how long will this go? I need to do something before it's late."

Trying to think of the possible best option, she unbutton him and brought her hand closer to his chest.

Right there, a silvery solid was covering his chest, but as fast as it came, it was quickly turning to fluid and melting down.

"This thing is melting my ice, how powerful is this heat? And for some reason, this boy is not dead, it's just like a punishment for him and not to kill him. Normal human wouldn't have survived for this long, even me, I can't keep my hands on him without ice covering my hand. This boy is really not normal."

Still, with the will of helping him to suppress the unending pain, she continue freezing his body with her ice power, and she could feel that the screaming and shaking reduce a bit.

But she couldn't keep this for too long, because the strange heat isn't allowing the ice to stay on his body as it keeps melting it down and she'll soon be exhausted of stamina, but she can still keep it for more than an hour. The only thought running on her mind was...

When will this end.

'Angel, she's an angel.' Emmy thought as he stared at Alice whose hands were currently on his chest.

For some reason, Emmy didn't feel pain again as he stared at the beauty touching him, it was as if he's in a paradise.

It's not as if he didn't feel the pain anymore, but it's as if his body is separated from his mind, his body is still shaking wildly from the pain but his mind is completely not in the mood to feel any pain.

His mind is not with his body again, instead, it's in a another world all painted white and surrounded by silvery fallen snowflakes, and right in front of him, a silver haired girl could be seen pressing her hand against his chest with sweat running down her face.

'She brought me to this paradise, she's truly an angel.'
