CHAPTER 24: Le Sacrifice

"I don't belong to you anymore, Jung Jaehyun"

It was the most painful lie that Jaehyun ever heard. More painful on how his family burden was thrown to him, more painful on how he witnessed the human friends he had died right in front of his eyes and lastly more painful on the fact that he would die for Taeyong. He just took someone's innocence, dream and the world's peacefulness. 

Was this the new version of the sin that the two first humans did? Was he the new Eve who took the forbidden fruit and his desires were the serpent? 

Everyone around them are dying, and all Jaehyun wishes for is this to end like waking up in a nightmare. 

Standing infront of the person he love, Doyoung was beside Taeyong smiling but not a smile of victory but something else that he never expect a demon to feel. 

"Stop lying Doyoung, show your real motive. You did this because you love him don't you?" 

"Jaehyun, we are not talking about it in the end of the world. You're ridiculous!" Doyoung snapped his fingers that made Jaehyun flew 10 feet away from them. Taeyong on the other hand looked at Doyoung. "We didn't talk about this!" 

Jaehyun tried to stand up. For someone who's contaminated with the angel's blood, without noticing it, he became weaker as days passed by. He can no longer heal himself, there are cuts on his skin that caused on how he flew away from where he was standing. He is aching, dragging his feet to walk closer to the two males. Jaehyun is currently facing Doyoung's back and so he pulled sword from the fallen guard.

"I never promised not to hurt your beloved, Taeyong." Doyoung shrugged.  "and I apologize" he whispered. Doyoung held Taeyong's hand, squeezing it gently and looked directly to his eyes. "You're important to me Taeyong . We're both tired of this and it's painful to see Jaehyun like this for you and it's painful for me to see you being...in pain!" Doyoung laughed, the laugh that Taeyong missed hearing from his best friend. "I, you're still selfless as ever Taeyong." 

Doyoung's hand let go of Taeyong's hand as the demon brought his hands on the fallen angel's face. He leaned his face closer to him and with their eyes closed, tears were falling from their eyes. Their lips met, the poison Doyoung has on him being a demon went to Taeyong that made him glow as Taeyong was some sort of porcelain statue that breaking into pieces. This caught everyone's attention, all of them stopped fighting and Jaehyun was screaming on top of his lungs while Yuta and Juyeon were holding him. Regret and pain painted on his face, neglecting the fact that a black substances coming out from his mouth from the corner of his lips. 

But what made Jaehyun's eyes widen and the two demons holding him back was the fact that Doyoung was stabbed by a crucifix none other by Ten, their best friend who's crying and mouthing apologies to Doyoung. Ten, who's still holding the crucifix, shook his head but to his surprise, Doyoung smiled at him.

"Thank you, Ten." was Doyoung's last word before he kneeled down, his eyes were dark pitch and his tears were black but he look so happy.

"You..did well Doyoung, you let Taeyong free" 

Yuta was confused when he heard, Doyoung didn't mention this to them when they were planning so he rushed to Doyoung, shoving Ten on the side. 

Jaehyun on the other side, was slowly breaking into pieces. The connection he made with the angel, as Taeyong was slowly dying too affected him. The curse of the tainted angel is also shared to the person who tainted them. 

But, that's not the end, the wrath of the sacrifice where he could kill all who's above the level of an ordinary human. No one knew about it but Doyoung, that's why he is confident ending it all. Sharing same goal with Taeyong of ending the prophecy and all chains of it, it's better to let all be involve, to not let Taeyong's sacrifice in vain.

"Jaehyun let's meet again on the other side" 

Even he wasn't able to kiss Taeyong a good bye, at least he heard his voice with a promise. Jaehyun smiled as he closed his eyes, feeling the death coming at him. While Ten, on the other hand witnessed with his two eyes how Doyoung turned into ashes and Yuta was on the ground turning in to ashes as well. 

He couldn't even speak so he just closed his eyes and whispered "Let's meet soon, on the universe, Youngho"

It was bittersweet feeling, two people caught up with the stupid prophecy that they were not fully aware and making the prophecy happened. If the heavenly creatures would stop making prophecies and let the creatures live on their own like how ordinary humans are, then no one will die, get hurt and sacrifice their lives. 

"It was Taeyong! I saw him today!" Ten argued with his friend, Kevin as they were preparing for the exhibit of Ten's masterpiece. As his therapy from what happened to him 10 years ago. Where he was found alone the place and he kept on saying that his friends died but  no dead bodies found. He told the same old story from his psychiatrist when he was sent to mental instituion for treatment and now he's taking medicine to lessen the attacks. Then he met Kevin in an art gallery and they talked, became friends and the one who supported him and believed him when no one else did. 

"I get it, I get it. Now, let's go out and meet the biggest sponsor who made his happen"  

They went down to meet the guest and the people who came for his art exhibit. Most of them congratulated him, told him he did great and his arts are all masterpiece.  Excitedly, he separated himself from his friend and went to his favorite piece. 

The painting he did was the picture of three people he knew, exactly what they were like before they disappeared.  

"Le Sacrifice"

And when he reached where it was, he saw a two familiar faces, looking at each other  and the painting about them where in the middle. 

THE END.
