Chapter 15 - Playing with Fire
Salvadore sat in his cave, on the armchair, completely lost in thoughts.
- What's Johhan doing there for so long?- Chris asked as he entered the room.- Don't pick on my brother, he has a hard job ahead of him after all...- replied Salvadore, breaking out of his thoughts.- To find something on Damon, you really have to follow him for a long while.- he added.- Exactly, Chris. We will have to be patient as it may take a long time.- Marco agreed with him.- Unfortunately.- Salvadore sighed, still staring into space.- So, are you going to sit back and wait, just like that?- Chris exclaimed indignantly.- And what are we supposed to do?- Marco asked, measuring him with his eyes.- Go over there and do it in own way. Sooner we will see a coronation of Damon than we find any evidence incriminating him! There is no reason to wait! We have to eliminate the contender for the ruler of the Underworld, make a coup d'état and take over the trone!- ChrisRelated chapters
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 16 - Full of Happiness
The next two weeks of July passed Selene in another meetings with Damon. Alice was hiding them so well that her aunt ignored the fact that she had sensed the presence of a demon in the vicinity from time to time, after all, there had been no attack at all, so she assumed they were probably hanging around looking for opportunities for now. This time was priceless for Selene, full of boundless happiness. Still, she was aware that one day it would come to an end, and at the mere thought of a longer separation from her beloved, she shuddered with some fear. Selene was sure she wouldn't last long in such a state. For now, however, she wanted to enjoy it and take full advantage of the fact that her and Damon could get together relatively calmly.Her lessons with Rita, Meredith, Isabelle, and Johnathan were getting better and better. Selene felt she would reign over her powers quickly, and if survive until her eighteenth birthday, she would be more than powerful enough to defeat Alist
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 17 - Rita's Story
Selene and Alice went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen.- Hello, girls.- Elisabeth gave each of them a kiss on the cheek as a greeting.- It's so nice to see you again.- Alice grinned at her. Selene, too, gave her a radiant smile.- Are you going to the garden today?- Meredith asked, putting their plates on the table.- Yes, as always.- Selene replied, sipping her orange juice.- What about the rest? Are they going to have breakfast?- Alice looked questioningly at Elisabeth and Meredith.- Everyone's already after breakfast.- said Mrs. Spelling.- As far as we know, Johnathan and Isabelle went home, Teresa went to her sister, Maria is at her room, and Rita too, I think.- she added.- Oh, okay, got it.- Alice assured, smiling slightly.After breakfast, Selene had another lesson, this time with her aunt, Rita, and Elisabeth. Now was the turn of the exercise in combining the power of the Elements. It was a little reluctant to Selene, bu
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 18 - Emotional Rollercoaster
Johhan rushed to the Underworld as fast as he could. Salvadore saw him first, or actually sensed his approaching aura, they were brothers after all, and then informed the others of his brother's arrival.- Finally. I already thought that he would stay on the surface forever.- Chris sighed.- Hope he found something useful.- Marco added hopefully.At that moment Johhan entered the cave, smiling broadly.- So, how it went, brother? Do you have something interesting for us?- Salvadore asked, watching his unusual joy carefully. He knew his brother, who was usually gloomy like the undertaker.- Of course, as always.- Johhan replied, and Chris smiled dismissively at that, but he ignored it and just continued.- Damon broke the law of the demons. He fell in love with the sorceress, and on top of that with the "chosen one" he is supposed to kill. So, in total, Damon also broke another law, to strictly follow the superior's orders.- he announced.- Are you sure?-
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 19 - The Lake of Darkness
Marco and Chris had been chosen by Salvadore, so they went, albeit reluctantly, to the surface to look for Damon and bring him to the Underworld. Walking down the street, they attracted a lot of attention, especially of the opposite sex. They would certainly have enjoyed this visit more if they weren't here "on business" and had more time to play with some innocent little soul. Unfortunately, they had no time for anything else than work, as Alistair surely wanted Damon in his hands as soon as possible, to quickly immerse him in the Lake of Darkness, so that he could safely complete his mission and get rid of the "chosen one".They created a kind of contrast - Marco had a dark complexion, black, slightly curly hair, while Chris was pale, with blonde hair in a very light shade. In addition, he was a head taller than his companion and terribly thin. Marco, on the other hand, had broad shoulders and an overall muscular body. They both wore knee-length black coats, trousers of the s
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 20 - End of Holidays
Salvadore paced his cave nervously again. Johhan was sitting in his chair, shaking his head in disbelief.- I was sure it was more than a charm. I should be able to tell it apart.- he said as if to himself.- Maybe you're even right about it, but Alistair won't believe you, especially since he saw a change in Damon's behavior when they emerged him from the water. However, in my opinion, he did some theater there. It wasn't honest... It looked as if the water had no effect on him, and Damon was just pretending to Alistair otherwise.- Salvadore replied.- It had to work on him. It works on everybody.- Johhan interjected.- Maybe not on the hybrids?- his brother suggested, still pacing back and forth through the cave.- It works even on Fallen Angels, so it should do on all sorts of hybrids too. The Lake of Darkness has too much power for any creature to resist its effects.- Johhan replied.- Well, I don't understand any of it anymore. That's why we need t
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 21 - Dark Secret
On July 20, 2017, Selene celebrated her seventeenth birthday. They were quite modest - at noon she met Sara and Jennifer on the beach and introduced them to Damon, who went there with her. Sara and Jennifer's boyfriends also came, and so those three couples had a great time splashing in the water, eating ice cream, playing in the sand and sunbathing, all the time talking about various topics.In the afternoon, Selene ate a celebratory dinner with her aunt and other members of the Council of Sorceresses, all of them wished her happy birthday and brought some gifts. Eleazar was still angry with her, but tried to be a little nicer that day, and Selene also noticed that he was dating Maria. She was glad that he had a relationship with another person after all. The last thing Selene would want is for Eleazar to shut himself up completely to other possibilities and refuse to taste happiness in another person's arms.Even though she didn't have much time, after dinner Selene deci
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 22 - Day of Suffering
In the evening, Rita returned from her family home, where she was visiting her brother and parents. Alice greeted her on the threshold, and as they sat together on the couch in the living room, she told her about what happened in the afternoon.- Where's Selene?- Rita asked after hearing everything.- In her room. From Selene's thoughts, I know she's very upset, so you'd better stay out of there. She doesn't even want to see her aunt.- Alice replied with a clearly worried expression.- All right. Then I'll look for Damon.- Rita said, walking back outside.The situation was very bad and difficult to solve. Not only did Meredith find out about her niece's affair with the demon, it was also the one who not only wanted to kill Selene, but killed her mother earlier as well. Rita wondered what could be done to somehow alleviate this situation. If nothing is done about it, the whole thing is sure to end in some kind of tragedy. Rita decided she had to find Damon and tal
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 23 - Love In The Darkness
Rita was walking around the city very worried. She had no idea where to find Damon, besides, was afraid about him, after all, he was definitely devastated and one could not know what kind of an idea would show up in his head.After an hour of searching, Rita finally spotted him on the bridge.- Damon?- she ran up to him, unsure of his intentions, though on the other hand a jump off the bridge could not kill a demon, so her fear was basically unfounded.- Rita? Rita Spencer?- Damon looked at her in disbelief.- What are you doing here?- he asked after a moment.- As soon as I found out what happened, I had to find you. Selene is devastated, she had an argument with her aunt, locked herself in the room and doesn't want to see anyone.- Rita replied, catching breath after running.- Believe me, I didn't want her to suffer. I... I was just afraid that if told her she would hate me completely, meanwhile, it all happened anyway...- Damon said in a broken voice.
