Chapter Twenty One
Elaina stood in the middle of a square, all the buildings around her burned fiercely.
Above burlack beasts in troves let out heart wrenching cries. People ran screaming as the beasts dove towards them.
Too shocked to move Elaina watched as the beasts ripped at the innocents. A scream threatened to leave her throat, but it would not come.
Up ahead she could see a wall of shadow, slowly making its way towards her.
Drawing her sword she readied herself for the attack.
The wall moved slowly taking its time to torture her.
More flames blazed around her lighting the faces of the duio warriors that were coming.
All their faces seemed to be grey and slowly decaying, some having holes in their cheeks and jaws, bone showing through. Their mouths hung open revealing rotted teeth. Their eyes stared blankly ahead, glazed over and unseeing.
Bile rose in Elaina’s throat a

Elaina spent most of the day in her room, mainly because there was nothing else to do. Another part of it being she was trying to avoid Chase. After she finished her meal with Charise and Samantha she hurried away without explanation. As she sat alone she continued to try to sort through exactly what she would say to Chase when the time came. She liked him more than she wanted to admit to herself and knew that it would hurt to tell him that she couldn’t be with him in the way he was wanting. She knew he would try to fight it and didn’t know if she was strong enough to not let him convince her. Charise had stopped by only once to ask if she wanted to practice hand to hand in the small dojo of their hideout, but Elaina had declined saying that she wasn’t feeling well. Charise hadn’t pushed it, which was really nice of her and left shortly after.Along with the Chase situation she w

“Welcome back little warrior.” Rathial’s voice echoed in Elaina’s head. “I told you, you would soon be with your parents.” Elaina looked around her at the pillars of fire, rocks chipping and falling into motes of burning hot lava. Stilamites hung from the stone ceiling above her. Little black creatures scuttled over her feet. She tried to move away from them, but her body wouldn’t cooperate. “Oh that’s so cute, you’re still trying to fight it.” Rathial laughed. “Don’t you know where you are?” He waved an arm out as smoke billowed up from behind him. Large red eyes formed and focused on Elaina, they blinked once and then were gone. Shuffling sounded behind her as cold hands clasped her arms. A yelp escaped her lips involuntarily. “Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you.” Rathial said idly crossing his arms. “Unless I command them to anyway. I didn’t bring you here to kill you.” His eyes flashe

Elaina had been assigned bedrest for a week after Samantha came and evaluated her. By the second day she was ready to get up and move, but Charise decided to stick around and stand guard. Elaina had told her about trying to tell Chase that she didn’t want anything romantic from him, but ended up saying she loved him instead. Charise of course had been thrilled by the outcome, saying that she had hoped she would come to her senses. Still reeling from the whole ordeal Elaina hadn’t bothered trying to argue about it. By the third day the elders had arrived and had insisted on speaking with Elaina immediately. After a thorough examination from Samantha she got the ok to get out of bed, but only long enough to meet with them and then had to go back to relaxing. Elaina was all nerves as she slowly got cleaned up and dressed, terrified about what the elders would say to her once she recounted everything that had happene

“They can’t be serious!” Charise yelled in outrage. Elaina had sat quietly listening to her rage on about the elders plan for retrieving the devil’s ceptor. Of course Charise wouldn’t want Elaina to take them to it, going out into the open was pretty much like handing yourself over to the enemy. “What can they be thinking doing that? What if Rathial follows them and then attacks?” Elaina didn’t bother responding, instead she waited until Charise was sure to have everything out of her system. “I won’t let them, they are not taking you anywhere.” Elaina played with the edge of the blanket she was wrapped up in. “I don’t really think you can stop them.” She pointed out now not bothering to look up at her friend. “I mean, they’re the highest power in the brotherhood, they kind of call the shots.” Charise turned her eyes flashing with anger. She stomped towards the edge of Elaina’s bed.

Elaina dodged the first burlack beast attack landing painfully on her side.Cursing herself for not taking her friends warnings more seriously she scrambled off the ground and prepared herself for the next attack. Two burlack beasts stood on either side of her. She used her periphery vision to watch both waiting for their next move.In front of her Rathial made his way towars Elder Lionel, who had managed to draw a sword out of thin air, odd. The burlack beast to her left moved drawing all her attention. With a quick flick of her wrist she threw her dagger. It planted itself square in the beasts chest blood gushing out quickly as the creature crumpled to the ground. The beast to her left moved to charge beak open a shriek of rage escaping from it. Elaina turned fast sweeping her sickle across the beasts face, managing to take out one of its eyes. It reared back for a moment before lunging f

Chase remained stunned his wide eyes still fixed on Elaina. She sat patiently waiting for everything to settle, already preparing herself for the look of disgust and accusations that would come next.Slowly his face went from stunned, to confused, before finally settling on disbelief. He didn’t speak as he grabbed both of Elaina’s hands tugging her towards him. Caught off guard Elaina allowed him to hug her for a minute before quickly squirming away. Chase looked a little hurt as she righted herself again, being sure to keep a little distance between them.“You don’t want me to touch you now?” He asked quietly looking away.Shocked at his words Elaina let out a hysterical giggle. “I just told you that I possess the blood of the dark and all you’re worried about is me not wanting to be touched?”For a second Chase looked taken aback. “Elaina, I don&rsq

The sound of metal grinding together woke Elaina. Heart pounding she jumped up to face whoever was coming. Elder Joseph waltzed forward carrying a plate with nothing more than a piece of bread and an old slice of cheese on it. Eyeing Elaina he opened a slot in the bars of her cell and shoved it towards her. “I don’t suppose you’re bringing me this in order to poison me are you?” Elaina asked frowning at the food. “It would probably be the smart thing to do.” Elder Joseph made a noise of disgust. “Honestly I felt we should just let you starve, but Samantha insisted that we bring you food.” So Samantha knows I’m here and doesn’t care. Elaina thought bitterly. “I don’t want your food.” She spat throwing the plate back at him. “I’ll help you along with the starvation thing.” “You’re only making matters worse with that smart mouth of yours child.” Elder Joseph said now stepping away from the food that lan

Elaina’s arms ached as she swung her battle axe at the dark warrior taunting her. Underneath her, her legs felt like jelly. Despite her best efforts he was getting through her defenses and she wasn’t sure how much longer she could hold out. Blood ran down her face in waves as her opponent manged to slice a deep gash in her forehead.“Have you had enough?” He asked now stepping forward sword held high above him.Gritting her teeth Elaina shook her head in response. She could still hear the sounds of fighting all around, many bodies littered the grounds, but she wasn’t sure if it was dark warriors or light. Above the sun had begun to disappear behind angry looking black clouds. A loud rumble of thunder caught everyone’s attention. The dark warrior in front of Elaina looked to her dropping his sword.Placing two fingers in his mouth he let out a piercing wh
