Chapter 1015   - THIS IS THE TIME

Even when she saw Serefina and Lucifer standing not too far from her, talking the same exact thing that she had remembered hearing before this, couldn't surprise Hope anymore.

Deep down, she knew that this was bound to happen, but she didn't think it would be happening right after she had regained her consciousness, after what seemed like spending a life of eternity in the realm that belonged to her.

Hope still remembered the last thing she saw in her realm; Calleb and Ethan's backs, where she noticed the same dark aura surrounding their beings just like what she observed on Raine's frame.

That was all before she regained her consciousness in the other realm, with the moon goddess, who helped her out on the task given to her by Lilac…

"Prove your loyalty and I will spare your life!" Lucifer hollered at Serefina.

The witch's red hair was disheveled and her clothes were worn out, with dried blood on her head and split lips.

It seemed that the devil had let her taste the hell for real now…

It was true, since Lucifer had tortured the witch in every way possible, to get what he wanted. He wanted the ultimate power of the guardian angel that Serefina had been holding back.

The witch just informed him that there was a limit to the power of the guardian angels that they were currently holding and once it was gone, they wouldn't be able to get it back again.

Yet, Serefina didn't even budge a little after everything she had been put through all this time. She fought back with everything she had.

However, when her eyes met with Hope's, through Raine's eyes, a smirk appeared at the corner of her lips which made her look like a maniac.

Hope's heart started to beat faster, it hurt her so much to see Serefina in such a condition. No matter what she had done, or what they assumed she had done to them, Serefina was someone who was close to her.

In spite of the rough actions and harsh words that was thrown at her when the witch was angry, but it was Serefina, beside whom Hope grew up following her for almost her entire life.

She had already lost Lana and to see Serefina like this… it hurt her so badly.

Serefina was the only figure on whom she had relied during her entire childhood, the witch had been a mother, a sister, a mentor, a protector and everything that Hope ever needed.

And to see Serefina in such condition right now, it was very hard…

Yet, there was nothing that Hope could do, because her body didn't belong to her as she couldn't even move an inch, neither could she utter a single word.

Shifting her attention from Hope, Serefina gave the devil a deadly glare.

Lucifer had teleported them to this deserted place, and Serefina didn't even have any freaking idea about where it was. Yet, that was the last thing that she should concern herself over right now when her life was on the line.

This devil could kill her anytime now, as she could feel her strength starting to decrease while her consciousness began to fade away.

"You don't need to spare my life, you are not the person, who I will beg for life of all the things," Serefina said in a hissing tone as she shot him with a dagger look.

"You will beg me for life after this. Now kill her!" Lucifer glared at Hope, or Raine in this case, as if he would do it by himself if Serefina refused.

Killing the guardian angel would give the devils ultimate power, but they couldn't do it himself, since coming in direct contact with the pure blood of a guardian angel could hurt him.

Actually, there was another way to do it, but only Serefina knew how to make the power of the guardian angels stay permanently with them, even after the death of these three human beings.

"You don't have much choice Serefina. I will kill them eventually and their mates in the end. I will not even spare that f*cking king that you love so much. Not after your betrayal toward me!" Lucifer cursed under his breath when he talked viciously to the beaten witch.

Serefina scoffed when she heard that. "You will never show that kindness Lucifer, so stop lying to both of us."

With difficulty, Serefina stood up and walked toward Hope.

"Raine, come here…" Serefina moved her hand in a beckoning motion and Hope could feel her body move without her consent.

This was exactly what had happened in her vision, but this time Hope did not panic, she wanted to know what would happen after this, since the scene that she saw through the stone ended with her being burned with the blue flames.

Yet, she was sure that the fire didn't hurt her at all.

Hope also wanted to know why she was in Raine's body instead of her own.

Once Hope was close enough, Serefina made a slashing movement with her hand and set Hope on fire. Within seconds the blue flames engulfed her body.

The blue flames licked every inch of her being, but instead of a burning sensation, Hope felt a strange warmth from it.

This fire breathed around her body, as if it was alive and Hope could feel the movement of it. It hugged her body and made her relax.

Hope's eyes were on Serefina. The look in the witch's green lime eyes was hard to discern, without any palpable emotion and the only thing that Hope could understand was; she trusted her.

She trusted her just like when she taught her how to walk, she trusted her just like how she said that it would be okay when she fell, she trusted her just like when she ordered her to beat the hell out of the boy that bullied her.

Hope trusted Serefina, as if she had never betrayed them...

And when the blue flames blocked the witch's figure from Hope's sight, she closed her eyes and let the feeling wash over her.

A feeling as if she was being floating in the air…

Yet, when Hope felt she could move her body again, she opened her eyes and found Serefina standing in front of her.

The witch hugged the girl and whispered. "This is the time."
