The Ember In The Dark Ch. 65
Ember's P.O.V.Toni held me for a while, but the crying never stopped. Mom sent him and Dex home once it got dark outside. She and dad checked on me often throughout the night. I didn't sleep. I couldn't stop staring at the adjoining door to our rooms.Around 3 in the morning I just got up and went to lay in Ash's bed. I clutched his pillow and pretended it was his large chest. My heart didn't feel like it could beat anymore. It hurts to breathe. You're not alone. Dex's words would keep ringing in my head like a bell, anytime I thought of how lonely I was. Ash has always, from day one, been by my side. He's been my rock, my moral support. He has been my protector, my therapist at times. He has been the person I run to all my life. Anytime I have news he's always the first person I tell. He's always the first person I want to see when I am happy and when I am sad. He's my twin, he's my other half. He hurt me. He caused me pain on purpose and I don't know how to get over that. He tri

My heart raced a bit as I stared at the big black numbers. 223. I hope Dex is willing to help, but if he is will I be okay? I ingested the crimson kelp shortly before coming. I ate a bigger piece than usual just in case. Since siren songs are supposed to be more powerful than their mind manipulation. That's a scary thought. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard some light shuffling behind and saw the light turn on. It was night time now, and the moon was small in the night sky. I had left Eric asleep in my bed. I'll be back before he wakes.Dex opened the door shirtless again. It seems he likes to undress once he gets home. He had a large burn mark on his chest. I noticed it last time and I wanted to ask about it, but I bit my tongue. It isn't any of my business. "Ember?" He sounded surprised. He had a big smile on his face, happy to see me. "Did you bring me food again?" He smirked. I felt bad for not bringing him anything now. Especially since I am about to ask h

Dex's P.O.V. She had showed up at my door asking for a favor. I didn't think it would be this kind of favor. I warned her. I checked with her many times. She wanted to do it. If I would have told her no she may have tried to get a siren song another way. I tried to hold back. It took everything in me to just keep my siren from entering her. I knew the moment the song stopped playing she would regret her choice. I just wanted to make sure she wouldn't regret it as much. If I would have entered her, she'd feel even more violated. Every moment of it keeps replaying in my head right now. She's so fucking beautiful. She's so damn sexy. Those moans and yells of pleasure will forever be engraved in my memory. She didn't realize it, but what my siren did was mark her as his. She will not be able to enter water without feeling me. She won't want any other siren. A guilt was washing over me as I watched her cry on my bed, dressed only in her underwear. She was feeling so much guilt right no

Ember's P.O.V.My alarm sounded and I bursted out of my bed more than ready. Today we will travel a while in the tree portal to get to the northern fairy kingdom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I tied my hair back in a tight high ponytail. I grabbed my bag, slinging it over my shoulder. I headed out, looking back at my adjoining door to Ash's room. I'll save you Ash, I promise. With determination set in my heart I left the palace. I reached the pack land a little early, but I found Dex already waiting. It was probably a bad idea to let him come, but I knew he could be useful to have. I know Toni said he had gotten some siren magic now, but he probably doesn't know how to use it well. At least not yet. Dex pushed off the tree he had been leaning on and made his way towards me. His hair was pushed back, his messy beach waves tucked to the back of his head. He gave me a large grin, showing me those pearly whites. I wasn't as afraid to look into his eyes here lately. I knew he

We stepped out of the portal to the most beautiful kingdom I have seen. It's regal just like my kingdom, only everything is gold and looks like it's been covered with fine specs of white glitter. Everything was so bright and shiny. The fairies flew about another us. Their crystal clear wings were outlined with gold and had small gold swirls in the center of each wing. Fairy dust rained down as they flew. That's what was making everything look like it was shining. That's why it's literally on everything here. It was constantly raining down from the sky. Some fairies were walking instead of flying, their wings tucked tightly against their backs. The women wore small gold tube dresses and little gold flats. The men wore white pants and golden long sleeve shirts with white shoes. Everyone looked dressed up and beautiful. This is the first time I've been able to clearly see a fairy. Their skin looked like it shone with small specs of glitter as well. I now know that is their fairy dust.

"Toni, please. I am so sorry. This isn't his fault." I pleaded, my voice thick with regret and concern. Toni held Dex by the collar. "No, Ember." He growled at me. "It isn't his fault. It's yours, but I can't hurt you." He snapped at me and it felt like a punch to my heart. He wanted to hurt me the way he was hurting Dex, but he knew he couldn't. If he would hit me it would be like he was hitting himself. He would feel all my pain that way. So instead he's taking all his aggression out on Dex. I hate seeing someone get pummeled. Dex wasn't even fighting back either. I can tell he knows how to fight, but for some reason he's not. "Please, stop. He isn't fighting back and you're going to end up seriously hurting him." I cautioned Toni. He let go of Dex and pushed him down to the floor. He turned his attention on me, causing me to freeze in fear. He looked so scary when he was mad. He marched his way towards me, grabbing my neck tightly. He brought his face right next to my ear, whis

"I'm going to take you right here, Ember." He whispered in my ear and I froze immediately."Toni.." I said his name breathlessly. His words turned me on immensely, but Dex was right there. There wasn't a separate room here. There was a round white bed with red pillows in the center back. This white sectional couch in the center of the room and then the bathroom to the right. There was a tv mounted to the wall and a large vanity dresser to the right near the bathroom. I mean we could at least go to the bathroom, but I don't think Toni has that in mind. His hand was already grazing up my inner thigh. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me down to his lips. He began to very passionately kiss me, erasing any ounce of resistance in me. I began to get lost in his touch… in his taste. I let my hands wander around his skin, eventually ending up in his hair. I grabbed fistfuls of his hair and pulled him even closer to me. Our lips were pressed tightly against one another. Toni's hand
The Ember In The Dark Ch. 72
Dex was waiting outside the bathroom door for me. He was leaning against the wall staring at the floor until I came out. He pushed off the wall and came to me so quick he was almost a blur. "Are you okay?" He placed his hands on my shoulders. His eyes bore holes into my face with how intently they were staring at me. "I'm fine." I shook his hands off my shoulders. "Don't worry about me.""Haven't I told you that I'll decide what I worry about. He was hurting you, Ember. He made you bleed." Dex sounded so concerned for me. I wonder if this brought up any dark memories for him. I sometimes forget he's grown up being abused. "I'm fine, Dex. Honestly. It healed. It's fine." I tried to smile at him. The pain I felt in my heart was making it hard to give him a sincere one. "It's not fine." Dex muttered. He was still really concerned, but anger was stirring in him. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise." He whispered sadly at me. I furrowed my brows, confused at his words. "I promised I
