Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Chapter 313 - Spring Call



*Zella Day - East of Eden *

"That's good!" Maya said in a cheerful manner after hearing Raven's response, especially her cute and genuine giggle that she dearly missed and caused her to subconsciously blush.

Remembering the rather 'sweet' events that took place when two met earlier, she could not help but secretly wish that she could repeat them a few more times. 

'Well, there will be time for that after taking care of the current issues… or maybe I don't have to wait for that long, hehe…' Maya thought while licking her lips seductively, her blush increasing.

Although this may have seemed childish of her, especially considering her status and real age, she could not help it. 

After all, for some unknown reason, the part of her that used to act rashly, without weighing her own actions, seemed to involuntarily resurface again. 

With that being said, maybe that reason was her blind reliance on Raven, and now that she's with her, she did not feel the need to worry about anything else and simply relaxed...

"Uhm," Raven nodded subconsciously at Maya's answer. A frown slowly surfaced across her face. Worry and stress were clearly visible all of a sudden.

"What is it?" Maya asked as she saw Raven's expression. She involuntarily felt panic taking a hold of her. "Are you worried about fighting Michael? To be honest, I don't think we have a chance of winning, especially with the strong people behind him.

"So, why not just run away? I'll take you, together with Maria, and leave to a place where they can't find us. We'll live together and grow somewhere-mmhmhmh, hm?"

Getting her mouth suddenly covered by Raven's snow-white palm, Maya was rather confused. "Are you in pain again?" She asked in concern. "Or do you not want us to live together?"

*Sigh*

"None of the above…" Raven said with a deep sigh, her hand waving dismissively. "Maya… I- I am really sorry… I've let you down-"

Saying that, Raven suddenly lost her voice, feeling her words stick at her throat, choking her. She didn't know how to proceed. Her heart started pounding harder than when she was being tortured by Uriel. 

What was she trying to say? That she failed Maya and let her die, without even being by her side, alone and painfully? Or maybe that she hadn't killed the person that caused her the suffering and instead took care of her?

What if Maya didn't have her identity as a Seraph and she died for real at that time? Would she have the same attitude?

With that being said, she has caused her extreme suffering, but… how or with what could she possibly compensate her for her negligence? 

Under the pressure of her guilty conscience, and without uttering any extra words, her right eye started tearing up and her lips quivering.

Maya, who watched her silently, knew that she must be struggling with some wild thoughts, and could not help but chuckle softly.

Raven was surprised as she heard the soft chuckle, but she didn't dare move. With that being said, she didn't need to move; Maya was planning to take the initiative. 

Clasping her hands against Raven's flushed cheeks, Maya pulled her face closer to her own plump chest. The way Raven was leaning against Maya's shoulder, and deeper towards her chest, made the move look rather smooth.

Even though Raven didn't say a word, she had her eyes closed as if expecting a hit to the head. But that hit never arrived.

A few seconds passed before Raven had the courage to open her golden eye and look into Maya's sparkling silver ones. 

The moment their gazes met however, she was surprised to see the latter smirking at her, slyly and almost in an evil way.

With the way Maya was holding her, Raven could only see her face upside down, so her expression seemed even more ferocious. And, without a warning, her face started getting closer and closer, under a soft pulling force, until Maya's lips fell on hers passionately.

Raven shivered involuntarily and tried to resist. "Maya, -uhmm- what's wrong all of a sudden? Uh, stop, there are -hmm- people watching us!"

"Oh, is that your only concern?" Maya let go of her lips unwillingly. But she didn't give up. Instead, she was left satisfied.

At first, she thought that Raven would reject her like she had always done. But it didn't seem to be the case this time.

Thinking of that, her mouth moved slowly and approached Raven's ear in an enticing manner before biting down softly and seductively. "So what if they're watching? Are you shy? This only makes it better, hmm…"

"Stop…" Raven barely squeezed the word, her face seemed like a hot red rose. Although she was resisting, she didn't mean to completely pull away. 

Noticing that, Maya completely ignored her resistance happily.

"But they are-" Raven managed to say before being interrupted.

"No buts," Maya said in a seductive whisper. "They'll be dead soon, no? And although I do prefer it when your face is flushed red, there's no reason to be shy. After all, the dead can't deliver any news…"

Saying that, Maya's hands started falling down slowly from Raven's hot cheek and down to her neck. From her neck, it went downwards towards her armour's collar that was forced open.

Feeling Maya's touch getting closer to her chest, Raven suddenly widened her eyes in horror as she pulled away quickly. Her breath quickened and her heart raced. 

"I'm sorry…" she struggled, but still got her message clear. The reaction seemed to be completely out of her control that even she herself was surprised.

Remembering their past together, and how she looked like when Uriel delivered her, Maya's eyes glimmered in a dangerous glint.

"I should have known!" She yelled subconsciously. 

Raven was left startled. Did Maya just yelle because she didn't want to stay still while she… no, this can't be…

Looking at Raven's reaction, Maya quickly explained. "Sorry, I'm not angry with you. No, I can never be angry with you. But please tell me, that b*tch, when she brought you here… did she-"

"Uhm," Raven nodded decisively. This wasn't something she could joke about. "But she didn't touch me there…"

Maya gritted her teeth madly, but she contained her aura so as not to harm Raven. "How are you feeling?"

"This is one loaded question…" Raven forced a smile. She couldn't describe her feelings even if she spent hours trying.

Looking at her, Maya could only shake her head and get closer to her. A moment later, the two girl's brows were touching, and their eyes were closed, in an intimate position. 

Raven's racing heart slowly calmed down and her expression returned to normal. Her shaking body regained its firmness.

She felt an extremely peculiar feeling. After all, she wasn't a fan of being on the weak side and she rarely dared express any weakness in front of those precious for her. But this time, with Maya's strength and status, it seemed to be an acceptable outcome.

"Better?" Maya asked.

"Uhm," she answered with a smile.

"I'll always be by your side," Maya said all of a sudden. "You won't ever throw me away, right?"

"Never!" Raven said firmly. As if to confirm her answer, she clenched Maya's waist in a tight embrace.

"Whew, that's good!" Maya suddenly relaxed. Her alluring expression was suddenly back, as if nothing had just happened. "Also, hehe, although a sl*t that deserves to die, Uriel had some good in her and avoided touching you there…"

Raven didn't reply, but her cheeks regained their red colour. Feeling embarrassed, she buried her face into Maya's chest. The latter smirked cunningly and pushed her head deeper.

"Hm, I guess she wasn't joking when she said that she brought you as a gift for me. I'd give her the credit if she didn't act the way she did. After all, you're the best gift I've ever received," Maya said, causing Raven's temperature to get higher. "With that being said, let's continue what we started, shall we, hehe?"

"Huh? But-" Raven wanted to speak but Maya covered her mouth with her tender fingers.

"I am not Uriel," she suddenly said in an extremely serious tone and firm expression. But her expression suddenly changed, in a strange manner. "And *cough* it was really painful to die… I was tortured before I died, you know…"

Raven's golden eye gained a hint of red upon hearing that. She could not imagine the pain she had to go through and it didn't help to imagine.

"Hey, it's not that I mean to make you feel bad, I'm sorry," Maya quickly apologized. "I'm used to dying after all, I've gone through countless Life Cycles, which was accompanied by countless deaths.

"But, with that being said, don't you feel sorry for me? You know, don't you want to repay me? It would ease my agonizing pain... 

*cough* *cough*

"See? I can't stop coughing. There's still some pain left," saying that, she pointed at her heart. Her expression is obviously fake.

"And…" Raven, although extremely restless, was not an idiot and she quickly realized her plan.. Not to mention that at her level, Maya doesn't not need to breathe, which means she can't really cough in a natural manner. "You want me to repay you with my body?"
