Chapter 50 - If Not Me, Then No One
No longer than ten minutes after he had left, Ben returned, opening my cell door with a loud rattle.
His nose was bloodied, dribbling down his chin and staining his white t-shirt.
I wanted to ask him what was going on, but the way he stalked into me cell, his face a dark scowl and his eyes trained on me, made me stop in my tracks.
He reached forward, grabbing the top of my arm and pulling me against his hard body, my back to his front. I could feel his strong fingers digging in painfully to my flesh. His mouth flush against my ear, his breathing ragged and the smell of copper permeating the air making my stomach roll.
“Your boyfriends outside, Avalon. Did you know that?” He spoke as if it were an endearment he was whispering to me. His free hand moved up and cupped my breast, squeezing it painfully. “Perhaps we should leave you with a parting gift, humm?” He suggested.
I didn’t take much for me to realise what he was suggesting, he was implyin

My mind was struggling to comprehend what was happening in front of me.I kneel on the floor, my hands flat out before me on the ground. I had no recollection of how I managed to break free of my cuffs. I could only assume that the fiery blast had freed me from their confines.A gentle drizzle had began to fall from the dark sky, clouds gathering in, and a sense of mourning filled the quite courtyard.Smoke danced all around us like a mist that wouldn’t dissipate, the smell of burnt flesh and fat stung my eyes and nose as charred bodies and piles of ash lay littered about the floor like some horrific horror movie scene. The only body which remained untouched was that of Lucas. I wasn’t sure how he had managed to survive the blast unscathed, yet he had. I assume our bond had protected him.I crawl towards his lifeless body on my hands and knees. Tears still streaming down my face.He laid on the floor unmoving.But as I crawl acro

“Lucas?” I whisper to him gentle, my voice cracking with pure emotion as I tried to hold my grief back. “Please wake up my love.” Placing a hand to his shoulders, I shake him, enough that his eyes flutter open to small slits. It was enough to tell me his is still alive. Based purely on the amount of blood under me, I didn’t have to be a healer to know that he didn’t have much time. “Lucas, please don’t leave.” I lean my head against his, my tears rolling down my face and falling onto his. “We still have so much to do my love.” “I love you so much, my beautiful Lonnie.” His voice echoed in my head, to weak to say the words out loud. “Don’t ever change.” “I won’t, I promise you Lucas, but you can’t leave me here Lucas. This is not the end of our story.” My tears came thick and fast, as I struggled to come to terms with the fact Lucas was bleeding out. “I can’t live without you my love, not now.” “I wish,” His words echo in my mind, barely audibl
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 53 - Broken Hearts Part 2
Lilith disappeared from sight in the arms of Dario.Confusion clouded my mind as I try to make sense of everything that had happened to me. I couldn’t help but feel that this was all part of a larger plan that I had no idea on.Dario was obviously Lilith’s lover, did he know about who I was before he sent me to her door? He must have done. Otherwise why trust me with the address of someone so dear to him.I look down at Lucas, Lilith forgotten for now. His breathing was shallow but ragged. His mind had gone blank and he did no respond to any of my attempts to rouse him.I watch with hopelessness, as the realisation dawned on me that there was nothing else that I could do for Lucas now.As he took his last breaths, tears slipped from my eyes and pain from my heart. Our bond began to fade, leaving a gaping hole in my chest. I wait for the onslaught of pain and the in turn my own demise.After all we had completed the bond. And so I
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 54 - Which Way Now?
“Princess,” Lord Tyrell spoke in a low lilt, “How lovely to see you again.” His eyes rake my body, taken in my bedraggled appearance and blood-stained attire. “I wish I could say the same Tyrell, but I’m afraid I can’t.” My bored tone evidently hit a nerve, Tyrell’s already red eyes, flashed even more crimson, if that were even possible. “Let me save you the trouble then Princess, I have an army of 5000, all camped in these woods, you can come with me now, unharmed, or you can try to fight your way out. Either way, I don’t mind, but there is only one outcome.” His voice lost the earlier civility and turned into something far more sinister. “I have no wish to fight you, Tyrell.” “Then you will come willingly.” He finished for me, holding a hand out before him in a gesture for me to take it. “I cannot come with you.” “Then we are at a bit of an impasse Princess. You see, I want you to come with me, and I have the army to make you.” His e
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 55 - A Helping Hand
I arrived at the cave at around midday in the human realm. The Autumn sun was high in the sky, and trees surrounding the lake were shedding ready for the long winter nights. I stepped into the dark cave, which gave off a dark aura that made me want to step back into the light. I would assume it is a self defence mechanism to stop unsuspecting humans from just walking into the underworld. The portal itself was remarkably unspectacular. It stood tall like a standing mirror, only with no glass. It was a doorway, that you stepped through. From my minimal knowledge of portals, I had gleaned that portals could be tricky. They had a standard point that they would pick you up and drop you off as it were. But should you wish to go to a more specific location, it was possible if you thought about the room in which you wish to enter. I had thought long and hard about what my plan of attack would be when I reached the underworld. And it was a fairly simple one. F
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 56 - The Water Garden
I expected that Hélène would look at me in sheer horror at what I intended to do.Instead, she remained calm, her earlier appearance of courageous determination steadfast on her face.“You don’t need my help for that my lady.” She looked at me kindly.“What do you mean Hélène ?”Rather than answering with words she pointed to my neck, and what laid resting against it.My hand came up and caressed the hard stone that Lucas had given me.“It has magical properties you know.” She said as she watched my expression thoughtfully. “It once belonged to Lucas’ mother. She wore it before Lucifer changed her into an immortal.”“That explains why Lucifer looked at me so strangely when he saw me at the dinner party. It was because I was wearing Lilith’s stone.” My brows creased together as I thought of the night that Lucifers dark eyes followe
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 57 - Revenge for my Mother
Lucien stepped out from the dark hallway that split off from the garden room and into the light. Stopping in his tracks as he looked upon the scene in front of him.His annoyed expression soon disappeared as his gaze fell upon me.“Niece, how wonderful of you to visit. I had no idea that you had even been recovered. How fortunate.” His words dripped sarcasm, half of his face that was stretch grotesquely over his cheekbones from the scaring he had incurred from our previous tryst.“Well, I couldn’t allow you to think you had won Uncle. Afterall, we do have unfinished business to attend to.” I spoke with just as much sarcasm as I could muster, all the while letting the low burning heat radiate through me.Lucien stepped out into the middle of the room so he was stood beside Nova, who by now had taken on a whole new shade of white, looking as if she may just faint on the spot.I stand with my feet set apart and my hands r
Shadowed Creatures Chapter 58 - Lover, Mother, Daughter, Wife
LuciferI had spent a great many hours thinking about my life over the last few weeks, probably more than I should have done.I had lived many lifetimes. Even before falling from grace. Not all of them unhappy.Even in my damnation on earth, I had found love, and happiness to a degree and I had even procured a family. Lilith was my happiness for so long. She had born me many children. And in turn Grandchildren, and great grandchildren and so forth.Most of them are now so watered down that the lineage has all but disappeared, yet it was still there. A piece of me living on in my own personal hell, earth.All had brought me joy, and pride in their own ways.Yet I found myself unsatisfied with what I had achieved during my time in the underworld and in turn on earth. My mission had been to prove God wrong. To prove to him that his creation, humans, were not worth th
