Chapter 14 - Destiny
I woke well before day break, eager to make my way to the clearing that Lysander was camped at. If I’m honest, it wasn’t the thought of training that had me excited. It was Lysander himself. He was a mystery to me. All my time at the academy and not one man (or boy) had caught me attention the way that Lysander had. The attachment I felt for him which confused me. Surely I shouldn’t be, the blood vow still held firm, I could feel the bond tethering me to Lucas. So why was I so drawn to my mysterious protector.
I head out into the cool morning air, torch in had because it was still dark. It felt good wearing my familiar legging and gym top assemble again. I had pulled on a thick pullover before leaving. My breath billowing out in icy clouds as I walked to the boarder.
As I approached, I could just make out Lysander’s figure in the darkness. Day break was just shining its first rays of light over the horizon.
“Good, you are on time.” Lysander sounded impressed.

A look of shock registered on Lysander’s face. He seemed to be lost for words. His eyes were bulging out of his sockets and his mouth agape. I couldn’t help be start to laugh. He was always so dark and mysterious. His face always shrouded by shadows, so the fact he was standing here in front of me now looking so dumb struck sent me into a fit of giggles.“I’m failing to see what is so funny Princess.” His face one again hardening.“I’m sorry,” I splutter. “But your expression was too funny.” The gates had been thrown open and I couldn’t stop laughing. Laughing soon turned to sobs in my mouth. The seriousness of the task I must undertake registering in my head. “Oh Fuck. Why did it have to be me.” I sob into my hands. My shoulders shaking with each breath. I hadn’t pieced the puzzle together until now. But Lilith’s words echoed through my mind; “The only way to kill Lucifer is with the fire of Hell itself. The same fire that runs through your blood.” She had been warnin
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 16 - My Mothers Daughter
I took me a while to pull myself together after Lysander had gone. The pain and confusion evident in my chest, which didn’t seem to ease with the passing of time. If anything it only grew worse. Apart of me knew that Lysander was right though. I had to find Lucas, he was the only way to gain access to Lucifer. Having Lysander around me only proved to be a distraction, not to mention he would throw himself in harms way should I end up in the path of danger. One thing was absolutely certain, it had to be me who dealt the final blow. Once I had done what needed to be done, maybe then I could think about my wounded heart and everything it entailed. I pulled myself off the ground, picking up my sword as I went. The weight still felt strange in my hand, but it also felt like an extension of my body. The hilt warm in my hands. I couldn’t help but wonder how old the blade was. It certainly looked old, ancient even. The blade still razor sharp glinting in the morning sun ligh
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 17 - Lord Tyrell
The trip itself to the portal shouldn’t have taken any longer than an hour at most. Yet the terrain before me with all its dips and swells slowed down my progress considerably. By the time I broke through the tree line and found myself on the edge of a vast expanse of water, it was already mid day. I had followed Lilith’s instructions and headed due south. The problem was that due south lead directly to the other side of the lake before me. I could see a small cavern at the side of the waters edge. And everything within me was telling me that there is where I found find the portal to the underworld. For the most part of my journey I had allowed myself to follow my inner compass. The string that tied me to Lucas. The closer to the portal I was getting the more the string seemed to tighten between us. By this point I could almost feel the connection pulsing between us like it had its own life force. It was strange to be so aware of someone who was not with you and you
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 18 - Together we are One
The longer time stretch on, the harder it was to keep control of the magic flowing through me. I desperately grabble at the bond between myself and Lucas, calling to him and hoping that he could feel its tug. There was no way of knowing of course, but surely the bond must count for something. “Come now Princess, there is no point in resisting us. It is only a matter of time. And by the looks of it, you will burn out well before the sun will come up.” Tyrell stood just the other side of my fire wall, assessing me smugly. I knew what he was doing, he was waiting me out, he knew my magic would only last for so long. But I wasn’t about to just give myself up and so I pushed on, the sweat dripping down my body with the effort. One this that had started to get on my nerves, was everyone’s obsession with calling me “Princess,” I may come from so called demon royalty. But one things I am definitely not is a Princess. “Stop calling me that!” I shout, my voice wavering
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 19 - The Underworld
Pain radiated through my head and my body ached with exhaustion. I felt like I had just gone ten rounds with a heavyweight champion. I groan, prying my eyes open only to close them again against the bright light in the room. Forcing my eyes to open, I take a moment to adjust. I look about in confusion, have no idea where I am. I’m not in the woods and I am definitely not in the room back at Lilith’s cottage. I tried to make sense of what had happened pushing the groggy feeling in my brain to one side. I felt as if I was wading through sludge. I was led out on a large four poster bed, satin sheet covered me. My clothes replace with a black satin nightdress that left little to the imagination. Heavy curtain pulled back in each corner. The whole room was decorated in dark tones, deep brown wood almost verging on black. Rich purple accents of colour here and there in the form of a cushion or a throw. Black sheets and upholstery, the room was distinctly mal
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 20 - Lucien St Leger
Lucas POV I look down at the sleeping form in my arms. Her dark lashes resting against her cheeks. Her breathing was even, meaning any pain in her body was now pushed to the side and her mind was calm. Her hair cascaded down towards the floor like the smooth silk sheet of my bed, her already pale skin now even more so due to the stress her body has been put through. He scent was intoxicating, and it took everything within me to not just claim her as mine now. It was clear she didn’t fully trust me, it was understandable with my reputation as it was, she had no reason to put any trust into me. But Avalon was my slither of humanity. The one thing that stopped me from falling off of the edge and into the abyss. I would win her over, I had no other choice. I just hoped for both of our sakes that she would come willingly and quickly, it was only a matter of time before Lucifer picked up on something being wrong. I walked her back to my room. The only bedr
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 21 - Magda the Wort Nosed Witch
Lucas had been gone for hours, leaving me to the not so careful ministrations of Magda. The wart nosed witch who I had clobbered over the head with a candlestick. She was hunched forwards with a permanent hunchback and cloudy milky white eyes signalling that her eyesight was diminished with cataracts. She almost looked like she had taken a step out of a Greek mythology book and was actually one of the fabled grey sisters, who determined all living creatures fate. Perhaps she was, all myths derived from elements of truth. Any second now she was going to pull out a pair of rusty old scissors and cut my life cord into two. I held back a giggle at the thought. She had been most upset when she came round, threatening to place a curse on my first born child if I should so much as raise a finger to her again. As much as I had no intention of having a child at the current time, I wasn’t about to try my luck. And so, I allowed her to do what she needed to, trying to keep as much dist
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 22 - Promises
The shock of Lucas' proximity and his hands on mine sent my body into overdrive. Every nerve ending was buzzing with electricity under his touch. The smell of wood smoke and citrus took over my senses, invading my mind, clouding my vision. My ears honed into the crackling of the fireplace, lulled by the soothing sound the room blurred out of focus and my mind was being transported to somewhere else. When my vision come back into focus, I was no longer in the stone room with Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. But rather I was in a large grassy clearing with the Lucas the boy. The sun was hovering just above the horizon, birds chirping in the trees, and the sound of crickets in the long grass around us. Small flies danced in the muggy air and a large bonfire stood in the centre of a ring of logs. Lilith was sat on the other side of the flames next to another woman with long black hair billowing out behind her in the gentle summer breeze. They chatted and laughed with each other, the sound
