Lucifer My breath suddenly stopped in my throat, feeling like my very essence was being squeezed out of me as I stared wide-eyed at the horror scene unfolding right in front of my eyes.Large amounts of blood trailed down her bare legs, dripping on the lush green grass, also staining Aleya’s pure white robe and after only a few choking sounds, her lifeless body fell down on the ground with a dull thud, Rick’s desperate screams filling the gravely silent air.“Noooo!”My body slowly slumped down against the thick tree trunk, blinking a few times, finally free from Aleya’s compulsion yet still unable to register what just happened.No...she can’t be gone...I took a glance at my brothers, noticing how Michael simply fell on his knees in defeat, blankly staring at his child’s lifeless body, his eyes becoming glassy with unshed tears while Gabriel sat against the nearest tree, mirroring my position, also too shocked to do anything at all.“No, please be ok! Please don’t leave me! Please,
BlakeGasping for air, my eyelids suddenly fluttered open, my whole body strangely feeling lighter than a feather. Small tingles still danced in the spot where Aleya’s knife was supposed to be but the moment I took a glimpse down, nothing was there anymore. Just my plain tank top, whole and untouched.Huh...I stared at it for a few seconds, still trying to understand what the hell just happened, but the moment I raised my sight and took a view at my surroundings, my lips suddenly escaped a small gasp, finding myself in a rather strange place.“Hello?Luc!Ricky?”My strained voice loudly echoed across the cold and deserted area, my sensitive eyes squinting through the dense mist, struggling to focus on the darkened shapes.Tombstones. Tombstones everywhere.What is this place?“Hello?” I tried yet again, remotely taking a few steps forward, hoping to at least find someone in this wretched place.And only after a few moments, a slender shadow appeared to be making its way towards me,
Warmly smiling down at me, his warm and bulky arms gingerly wrapped around me as he whispered,“Come on, child. Let’s go save the world.”And with a single whoosh we were already darting towards the crimson sky, the cool breeze touching the bare areas of my skin making me involuntarily snuggle deeper in my creator’s warm chest, at the same time feeling that awfully familiar sensation creeping up inside me, remembering that young woman’s figure.“What was my mother’s full name?” I suddenly found myself asking, those two specific words sounding so foreign in my ears as I said them out loud for the first time since I’ve found out about my true origins, consciously avoiding his gaze as I did so.“Natalie Pierce.”The stench of blood, combined with putrid and burning flesh wafted through the air, my eyes attentively following the trail of crimson and bodies as we smoothly glided through the air, my arms wrapping tighter around my father’s neck, struggling to keep the bile rising in my thro
Deep silence floated between us, the time seeming to stop as we intensely stared at each other, frozen in our spots, my entire frame lightly shaking as I watched those now midnight blue eyes drill into mine, their ardor and longing leaving me utterly speechless.The soft touch of a warm hand gingerly gripping my shoulder instantly broke me out of my trance-like state, only to notice my father standing right behind me as I quickly turned around, his warm gaze finding my own as he softly said,“Come on. We still have some damage to fix.”Blinking a few times, I took a glance to our completely destroyed surroundings, obviously feeling a little skeptical.This place is a complete mess...How is he expecting to fix it back?“But...how are we gonna do this?” I asked, curiously eyeing him.Offering me a warm smile, he gently stretched his hand out for me to take, a simple yet very meaningful question tumbling out his lips,“Do you trust me?”One word. One word crossed my mind yet I remained s
“That was...”“Fate. She’s the archangel of fate,” My father quickly answered from right behind me as I entered the front door of our house.Fate...My mind whispered, watching my brother walk right ahead of me as he strode right towards the grand living room, instantly remembering Aleya’s words,“...you brought him back.You sentenced him to an endless life.Because of you, he will never pass through the Guarded Kingdom’s gates; hence, he will never see his parents again.”A heavy pang of guilt settled inside my chest, my legs moving faster on their own accord right towards him and before he could pour himself a drink from the mini-bar my hand clutched onto his arm, momentarily stopping his every action, our eyes instantly meeting and with a small and strained voice I whispered,“I’m sorry...”“I’m so sorry...” My voice raised a little bit, blinking back the small tears already prickling at the corners of my eyes, watching him stare at me for a couple of moments in complete silence b
Rick“Come on Ricky, pleaaaase!” She begged for the millionth time, clutching onto my arm, her big green puppy eyes staring up into mine.Hmm, like this would ever work...I mentally rolled my eyes before I gave her my final decision,“No, Blake, I said no, it remains no! You’re not going, and it’s final!”“B-but why? Leila is also going, and she will be with me the whole time, I swear!” She tried again, annoyance and frustration resonating loud and clear in her tone.“No. I don’t care, not even if the freaking pope shows up at that stupid party, I said you’re not going, and it’s final, so stop trying!” I coldly replied, quickly returning behind my desk, definitely knowing that she will stop talking to me for at least a week for doing this.But the truth is, I had to. I really had to. Who knows what kind of maniacs and freaks would be also attending that frat party, waiting for the perfect moment to hurt her. I simply can’t allow that to happen.“Ugh, I hate you, you’re the worst brot
Blake“Bye Ricky!” I shouted, slamming the door behind me while still munching on the cookie I stole earlier from the kitchen and hurried towards Leila’s car as we were already late to school.I was such in a good mood today after that late night debate, knowing that I won. I finally had it my way! I was finally going to a frat party, for the first time in my life!I opened the passenger seat door and hopped in, almost instantly assaulted by a squealing, extremely excited Leila.Guess she was just as excited as I was, after two years of being kept in my own house like a damn prisoner, I was finally able to hang out with my one and only best friend, and have a little fun.Want to know what was the reason behind my captivity?Well, let’s just say we went on a double date that didn’t end up too well, the guys being killed on spot for trying to kidnap and rape the both of us, courtesy of my brother’s various enemies, of course, that damned day being also the day Leila found out who my br
Dirty blonde short hair, broad shoulders, muscular back, fine round ass and strong muscular legs, all that covered up in what seemed like a navy blue police uniform.Wow...who is this guy?“Arrest me officer, I’ve been a very bad girl!” One of the girls shouted from behind me, creating a ruckus all around us, students in the doorway and also the ones already seated in class bursting into a fit of crazed laughter.“Who said that?” Ms. Kelley’s high pitched voice shouted highly annoyed, both she and the guy turning to look straight at me.My eyes widened, quickly shaking my head, trying to say it wasn’t me, finding myself suddenly frozen in my spot once his eyes landed on me.Ocean blue...The most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my entire life were now staring right back into mine, digging deep straight into my soul, sending an oddly pleasant vibe.“Miss Summers, right on time. We were expecting you,” Ms. Kelley stated, crossing her arms over her ample bosoms.What? What for? I don’t
