Chapter 1

First Meeting

The world that once existed on earth was the underworld, but long ago a battle raged to possess heaven and the earth. The angels forced the demons back deep inside the earth, forming the underworld, a dark, gloomy place. The humans were at peace, protected by angels of heaven, six winged creatures that looked out for the humans and a thousand years passed.
A girl about twenty two stepped out of her apartment, wearing a pink sweater and a black skirt. She had long, black hair and blue eyes, walking down a street as people passed her.
@Selene!@ Someone shouted.
Selene turned around and saw a man with a white suit, blonde hair and blue eyes smiling. She could tell he had been running because he was panting hard.
AThere you are, I was looking everywhere for you.A he said.
He took her shoulder and walked into a park as he told her how his day had been. They sat on a bench, looked at the sky, and smiled. She shivered slightly and the man looked at her worried. She stood up, saw a little girl crying, and got a sorrowful look on her features.
ASelene what is it?@ He asked in worry.
She walked toward the girl and put her hand on her shoulder. The girl looked up at her sniffling as Selene smiled at her comfortingly.
AIt=s okay, go to your mom. Don=t be scared,A she said.
The little girl hugged her bear and smiled at Selene, fading away in a white orb. Selene watched it float up and smiled as she walked back toward the man.
AIt was a little girl=s spirit. I let it pass.A she said.
The man smiled and grabbed her hand as she smiled at him.
AThat=s amazing that you can see spirits and send them back. I wish I could see them,A he said happily.
She took her hand from his and sighed, opening her eyes sadly.
ANot all of the spirits are nice. Some are very dangerous. I=m afraid of them,A she whispered in a quiet voice.
He sighed and stood up as she did too. He grabbed her hand and kissed it, causing her to blush.
AI have to go, Selene,A he said and walked away.
AGoodbye Alex,A she said, smiling as he walked off.

It was almost night and Selene stopped by to buy some bread, it was night when she was walking home. She looked up at the stars, thinking about today and sighed.
AI like seeing spirits, but some are not friendly,A she thought and walked faster.
She rounded a corner and saw a huge demon. It had a long, green, skinny body, with sharp teeth and red eyes. She gasped and stepped back, dropping her bread. It looked at her and growled, her eyes widened as she gasped.
AA demon!,A she said shocked.
She didn’t think they existed, just a legend, an old bedtime story to scare kids. The demon took a step toward her direction, she gasped and started to run away. It growled more and rushed at her as she tripped. She saw it coming at her, closed her eyes and screamed.
She heard a gurgling, coughing sound and opened her eyes as she gasped, eyes wide. A man with black hair that went to his neck, a black vest, black, leather pants and brown boots was standing in front of her. He held the demon=s throat tightly, his fingers digging into it as black blood began flowing down her fingers.
AThis is why I hate demons, you=re all like this!@ He said calmly but angrily.
He took out a sword with his other hand, pulling it out slowly. It was skinny to the middle and grew wider, then skinner toward the end, silver and gleaming in the moonlight. The demon=s eyes widened as it tried to speak, but couldn’t. The man smirked and killed the demon in one slash across its chest and it turned to dust.
He put the sword back in its sheath and turned toward Selene. She trembled in fear as he walked toward her and knelt down, his blue ice eyes looking at her. His eyes moved to her ankle, which was bleeding a little.
AYour ankle=s broken,A he said calmly.
He took her ankle in one hand carefully and gently. She gasped when it didn’t hurt and he pulled out a bandage. He wrapped up her ankle and sighed when he was finished.
ADid that demon do that to you?@ He asked, looking at her.
She smiled at him and shook her head. His eyes widened a little and she looked at him confused.
AWhat=s wrong?@ She asked sadly.

He smiled at her and she smiled back as he helped her up. It was nice to be in his presence for some reason and she felt safe. He wiped the remaining blood off her ankle and she winced every now and then. He smiled sadly at her when he saw it was hurting her.
A Sorry, I=ve never done this before,A he said, smiling apologetically. She blushed under his gaze and smiled back. He gasped as he saw a huge gash on her leg and she winced when he touched it. He put one hand on her ankle and closed his eyes as she looked at him. She was surprised as his hand began glowing green, the wound healing.
She looked at him and he looked back, the green light illuminating his face. She looked at the glow and he removed his hand.
AWhat are you?@ She asked, fearful a little and curious.
He drew back a little as he noticed the fear in her voice and looked away, eyes closed.
AA demon that lives in the underworld and one of many that serves the king. I had to come up here and kill the demons who defied him,A he said.
He was done and looked for any more injures, finding nothing. He stood up as he held out his hand and she took his hand.
AAre you afraid of me?@ He asked a tinge of worry in his voice.
She looked at him as he helped her slowly to her apartment. A couple blocks ahead and they saw it in the moonlight.
AI=m not, I=m just shocked that you=re a demon,A she said, wincing as pain hit her ankle.
She gasped as he picked her up in his arms and blushed. He chuckled and she looked at him, liking that sound.
AYour ankle hurts,A he said.
He looked at her and he looked away the same time she did.
AHe=s a demon. It=s the first time I=ve seen one,A she thought.
He was in her house and put her on the bed, sitting down beside her. She pulled the blankets up, suddenly wary that he was alone with him.
ADo you need anything?@ He asked, putting his hand on hers.
@What=s your name?@ She asked curiously.
He smiled as he stood up, grabbing her hand and looking at her. She didn’t even know demons could be kind, especially one like this.
ADemetri Lone,A he said.

He disappeared and she sighed, letting the tension leave her. She thought about what had just happened and wondered why it happened tonight of all nights. Demetri walked up some stairs and opened a pair of double doors, walking into a brightly lit hall.
ADemetri welcome back. Did you kill it?@ The demon king, Shin, asked.
Demetri went to one knee and smiled, putting his hand over his heart as his eyes closed.
AYes, my king,A he said.
Shin smiled and Demetri walked to his room, looking over the sunset horizon. He laid down on his bed and looked at the ceiling as he thought of all the missions he had done. Three months passed and he was still in the demon world. He got up and gripped his head as teeth clenched, eyes shut.
AWhy is this human affecting me this much?@ He thought in frustration
He got up and walked down the hall, stopping as he saw an oracle on the wall and a saying. It said “a demon on rare occasion falls in love with an angel, because he knows that her purpose is to save the world.” He scoffed at it and went to the human world to look for Selene. He was by a park and hid behind a tree when he saw her.
She was with Alex and he was sitting by her side, eating ice cream. Other people were feeding birds or watching their kids. She tripped and Alex caught her as her ice cream fell. She thanked him and gasped as a pulse went through her.
She turned toward the tree and saw him as he jumped down from the tree.
AAlex I have to go,A she said and started to walk away.
Alex got angry as he saw Demetri and gripped her wrist, slamming her into a pole as she yelped.
ASelene, how can you be friends with a demon? You can=t trust those devils in human skin!@ He shouted angrily as he raised his hand.
She gasped as he was about to slap her, but Demetri caught it. Alex gasped and so did she in shock.
AThink twice before you touch her, I=ll make you regret it,A Demetri growled, eyes glowing a little.
Alex gasped and ran away. Demetri looked at her as she looked back and smiled a little. She had wanted to see him and thank him, but didn’t=t know where he had gone.
ADeY.Demetri,A she said.

He embraced her as she cried on his chest, pain going through him. These feelings were overwhelming him, he hated that, but he couldn’t help it. He tilted her chin up and wiped away her tears smiling.
AHow long have you been here?@ She asked, walking toward the bench.
He sat by her and she leaned against his shoulder as he looked at her.
@A few hours.A He remembered Alex and gritted his teeth as his eyes shut. AWhen I showed up and he was there. I tried my best to bare it, but I snapped,A he said, looking at his hand.
He gasped as she put her hand on his cheek. He put his hand on hers and tried to decide whether to do this or not. He leaned down, closing his eyes and kissed her. She gasped as her eyes widened, and then slowly closed them.
ADemetri,A she thought, moaning a little as his lips brushed against hers.
He wrapped his arm around her waist as she gripped his hand tightly, he gripped back. They parted panting and he brushed a piece of hair out of her face.
AI=m sorry. I shouldn’t haveY@ he couldn’t finish when a pulse went through him.
He looked at a mirror and Shin was there. Selene looked at it curiously as Demetri stood up.
AYes my king, I understand. I=ll be right there,A he said and put it in his pocket.
He looked at Selene as she looked back. He took her hand and helped her up. He didn=t want to leave, but he had a mission to do.
AI have to go,A he said.
She smiled and put her hand on his cheek, he put his hand on hers. APromise you=ll come back?A she asked.
He nodded and she leaned up and kissed him. He kissed back and parted, disappearing with the wind. He walked into the throne room and knelt down, hand over his heart as his eyes closed.
AYou called my king?A Demetri said.
Shin put up a monitor and showed a picture of a woman. Demetri looked at him and smirked as Shin looked at him.
AYou have to kill this human. She possesses a dangerous power, but it has not awakened yet. She is a great threat to us,A he said, standing up.

Demetri=s eyes widened a little as he gasped. It was Selene. Shin sat down and glanced at the picture.
AYes sir,A Demetri said and left.
He was in the human world and it was raining. He walked toward her apartment and knocked on the door. Selene answered it and saw Demetri, gasping as he saw his sword.
AWhat is it?@ She asked, backing away.
Demetri raised his sword a little as he gripped it tightly. He didn=t want to do this, but one thing for sure, it would kill the feelings he had for her.
AI=m sorry Selene, I have to kill you. The king of the underworld ordered it,A he said and raised his sword higher.
She gasped as he swung it and closed her eyes tightly. She screamed as the sword hit her shoulder, ripping some of her shirt off. She fell to the floor and gripped her shoulder painfully. Demetri put his sword away and picked up the blood and shirt as she looked at him confused.
ASelene I=m going to make a copy of you. It will fool him for a little while, but he will figure it out, I=m sorry,A he said, sadness in his eyes.
He healed her shoulder and kissed her, she gasped and kissed back. AI=ll come back,A he promised and disappeared.
He walked to the throne room, carrying the dead clone in his arms. He walked in the throne room and saw Shin on his chair.
AMy king, what do you want with the body?@ Demetri asked, standing in the throne room.
The king told him as Demetri smirked and threw the body in the fire.
AVery well Demetri. You can have two years off, do what you like. You=ve worked hard,A he said.
Demetri came back in the apartment and found Selene lying down on the bed asleep. He smiled and sat down beside her, stroking the outline of her face with his hand. She opened her eyes and smiled at him as he smiled back.
AYou=re back,A she said, sitting up and embracing him.
He embraced her back as his eyes closed, and then opened. He wanted to keep holding her and then wondered why he had fallen for her so fast.
ASelene?@ He asked, putting his hand under her chin.
She looked at him and her eyes shone a little. He looked back and his eyes shone from the moon too.
AWill you be my lover?@ He asked, caressing her face gently.
She leaned toward him and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he kissed back gently.

AI will Demetri. I love you,A she whispered as she looked at him.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing her closer to him. He put his forehead to hers and sighed a little. Silence passed between them for a moment, both thinking how this had happened. He leaned toward her as his eyes closed.
AI love you too Selene,A he whispered. He brushed his lips against hers briefly, then kissed her passionately.
He pushed her against the bed as he still kissed her. She kissed back, moaning a little as his lips brushed against hers. He took off her shirt and she took off his as they both parted.
ASelene, be with me forever,A he said.
She nodded and smiled as he smiled back. She kissed him again slowly and he kissed back. In the middle of the night he woke up, glancing on his chest at her sleeping form. Her head and arms were on his bare chest.
He smiled and stroked her hair with his hand, tracing her face. He slowly went down to her hips and gripped her to him as she snuggled into him more.
AThis love between us, between a human and a demon, is forbidden,A he thought, looking at her face.
He smiled and slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her. He walked to the window as the full moon shone into the room and them. He heard Selene whimper and looked toward her. She was gripping the bed sheets tightly as tears formed in her eyes.
ANo,A she whispered, fear in her voice.
He walked over to her and touched her cheek as she tossed her head back and forth. She mumbled more, some not understandable.
ADon=t... I can=tY,@ she whimpered.
She opened her eyes and he looked at her worriedly as she wiped the tears away. She smiled reassuringly at him as he continued to wear his concerned expression.
AJust a bad dream, don=t worry,A she said.
He nodded and held her in his arms. They smiled at each other as he leaned down and kissed her. They both laid down and went to bed as she had her arms and head on his chest. He had his arms wrapped protectively around her and they fell asleep.


Chapter 2


Powers Emerge

Selene woke up and glanced beside her. Demetri had his arms around her still, his arm tight around her waist. She smiled and got out of bed, putting on a white shirt and blue pants. She walked outside and felt the cool breeze against her skin.
She jumped as she felt two strong arms wrap around her. She looked up and saw him as he smiled.
@Good morning,A he said.
She giggled and touched his face smiling.
AGood morning,A she said.
He kissed her as she kissed him back gently, and then parted. He sighed as a pulse went through him. He walked back to the room and put his shirt on. He walked back and kissed her, then disappeared.
She sighed and went for a walk. It was cloudy and gloomy today, not many people were outside. It started to rain and she hid under a tree in the forest as the rain pelted down more. She heard a twig snap and spun around.
In front of her were fifteen demons, green and slimy. She backed up and ran as they chased her. she tripped and closed her eyes as the demons pounced toward her, jaws open. The demons screamed and she opened her eyes.
There was a man with angel wings in front of her. He had pointy teeth a little, black hair and green eyes.
ALong time no see, Selene,A he said, sword in hand.
He held out his hand and she grabbed it confused. The man wore blue jeans and a white shirt, stained with red splatters.
AWho are you?@ She asked.
He smiled and handed her a case. It was black with silver straps. She grabbed it as he looked at her.
AYou=ll remember when you touch your sword,A he said and charged at the demon=s, killing them. ASelene take the sword.A
He looked at her as his wings glowed. She opened the case and gasped in wonder at the sword. It was a silver sword with a red grip, a red jewel made from demons in the middle of the hilt. She grabbed it and huge white light exploded from it as she closed her eyes.

The man shielded his eyes from the light as Selene did. When the light disappeared she was wearing a kimono looking dress. It split at the legs, revealing part of her left leg, and blue splatters on it and red. She had her hair still down and the sleeves went to her shoulders.
Her eyes were glowing a bright blue. White angel wings came out of her back and she gasped as her eyes widened. The man smiled and took her hand as she blushed. He chuckled and bowed down a little.
AWelcome back Selene, killer of demons,A he said.
She blushed more and he looked at her. She went back into her human form and put the sword back in her case.
ASee you around Selene,A he said and disappeared.
She walked toward her apartment and went to sleep. Demetri came to her place an hour later, finding her asleep and wet.
ASelene, wake up,A he whispered, touching her shoulder.
Selene opened her eyes and looked at him as he touched her cheek. She yawned as the worry dissipated on his face.
AWhen did you get back?@ She asked, sitting up as she shivered a little.
He helped her out of bed and put her in the bathtub.
AJust a minute ago. You=re going to catch a cold if you don=t change,A he said, noticing her clothes dripping.
She gasped and pushed him out of the bathroom. She began stripping and putting her pajama=s on. She came out as he smiled at her and held out his hand. She smiled and put her hand in his.
He took her hand and pulled her into his chest, his other arm wrapping around her waist.
ASelene come with me for a second,A he whispered in her ear.
He took her outside and she expected it to be cold. It was warm and he embraced her as they disappeared. She gasped as her eyes widened, they were in the underworld. Glowing blue crystals were everywhere, lining the walls and ceiling.
He smiled and led her over a river. He sat down and she sat between his legs as his arms wrapped around her.
AIt=s pretty here,A she whispered, eyes glowing a little.
She looked across from here, over to two trees and a pulse went through her. Demetri looked at her, his arms tightening around her in worry. She fainted against him and he took her home. She remembered something, if it was a vision, dream or a part of her past she didn=t know.

She was standing between the two trees, wearing a white dress. Her black hair was up and she wore earrings and a necklace.
AWhere is he? He should have snuck out of the palace by now.A she wondered, looking at the palace in worry.
She heard laughing and turned around. Her eyes widened as she gasped in shock.
AZen!@ She said, shocked as she backed up.
Zen was her old lover, the king of the underworlds son. He had short, blonde hair and green eyes.
ASelene, this isn=t what it looks like,A he said as he got off of the girl under him.
Selene backed up as he reached for her as tears formed in her eyes. He sighed and touched her hand, causing her to flinch.
AHow could you!@ She shouted, tears flying.
He embraced her as he coughed up blood and looked at her, shock on his face. She had wings out of her back and wearing her kimono dress, sword was in his stomach.
AGoodbye ZenA she whispered.
She got her sword out of him and stabbed him in his heart as tears ran down her face. She saw the girl and killed her too as fifteen demon guards showed up suddenly. She disappeared as they shot arrows at her.
Selene moaned and opened her eyes as she woke up. Demetri was asleep and gripping her hand tightly. She put her hand on his and he woke up as he smiled.
AYour awake,A he said.
She remembered her dream and sighed as she embraced him. He embraced her back and wondered what the matter with her was. She didn=t act like this around him.
@What=s wrong?@ He asked in worry, sensing her unrest.
`She shook her head and embraced him tighter as she closed her eyes.
AI don=t know if what I dreamt was a memory from my past or a vision of the future,A she thought, closing her eyes again.
He looked at her and put his hand on her cheek in worry. She opened her eyes a crack and looked at him.
AWhat is it? I can tell something is bugging you,A he said, his voice gentle.
She leaned up and kissed him as his eyes widened. Something was troubling her, he knew that, but what could he do?

ASelene,A he thought, closing his eyes and kissing back.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him.
AIf that was the future, I... I don=t want to lose him,A she thought, tears running down her face.
A pulse went through her and a white light enveloped her. She gasped as her eyes widened. She was being carried up as Demetri gripped her hand tightly, but his grip was loosening.
ASe... Selene!@ He shouted, trying to pull her back to him.
His grip loosened and her hand slipped from his. He reached for her as she reached back.
ADEMETRI!@ She shouted.
He flew in the air after her and grimaced in pain. His wings still hurt bloody from a battle a week ago. She reached for his hand and he was almost as her.
ASELENE!@ He shouted, barely touching the tips of her fingers.
She disappeared and suddenly an angel stabbed him in the chest, forcing him to the ground.
ASe... Selene,A He murmured, reaching in the air where she disappeared at.
He blacked out and one of his comrades took him to the underworld to heal him. An hour passed and Selene woke up as she turned to her side. She gasped as she sat up, looking around her.
AYou=re finally awake, Selene,A someone said.
She spun toward the door and gasped. It was the angel who had given her the sword. He was leaning against the door smiling at her gently. He was wearing a black kimono as he sat down beside her.
ADo you want to remember everything about your past?@ He asked.
She looked at him as her eyes widened. He touched her hand gently as he looked at her. She wanted to remember, but was scared that she would forget Demetri if she did.
AWill I forget everything after I lost my memories?@ She asked, tears in her eyes.
He wiped her tears away and smiled, shaking his head. She smiled at relief at him and sighed.
ANo you=ll remember everything,A he said.
She looked at her hands and he stood up. She looked at him and nodded as he waited for her answer.

AI want toY.. I want to remember my past,A she said.
He smiled and put his shirt down to his shoulder as he sat on the bed. She gripped the bed sheets at her side. She looked at his shoulder and saw a yellow crescent star that was glowing.
AAll you need to do is focus on your angel form and touch the star on my shoulder,A he said.
She nodded and touched the star as she focused hard. He gasped as pain went through him and she fainted from the shock and pain that went through her. He set her on the bed and her angel wings came out.
One hour passed and Demetri woke up. He gasped and sat up as he noticed he was in the underworld.
ADon=t move you=re still wounded,A a woman said.
He turned toward the doorway and saw his friend, Sol. She was wearing a black shirt and white pants. He ignored her and was about to get out of bed, but she pushed him back down.
AYou love that human don=t you?@ She asked.
His eyes widened as he gasped. He looked away as his eyes closed. He didn=t want to tell Sol, but he nodded anyhow.
ADon=t worry, I won=t tell the king. It=s our secret,A she said and fixed his bandage.
He smiled and laid down as he opened his eyes. An hour passed and she smiled after she was done. She picked up her stuff and started walking toward the door.
AThanks Sol,A he said.
She stopped at the doorway and smiled. She nodded and then disappeared out into the hall. A pulse went through him and he looked at the door. Shin was by the door with his son, Zen.
AWhat happened to you, my best warrior?@ He asked, stopping in front of him.
Demetri chuckled lightly as Shin did as well. They looked at each other and Shin smiled a little.
AI thought I was stronger than that demon, but I got wounded and then something else got me. I don=t know what it was. I killed the demon though,A Demetri said as he sat up.
Shin pushed him back down with a hand and Demetri looked at him. He shook his head and looked at Zen, then back at Demetri.
AYou need to rest for a couple of days. Don=t worry, we=ll have someone else take over your missions,A he said as he stood up.

His son walked out of the door, looking angry as usual. Shin was walking out too.
AUm.... my king?@ Demetri asked.
Shin stopped and looked at him curiously. Demetri didn=t pry into the king=s past, but something was bothering him.
AYes?@ He asked as he walked toward Demetri.
Demetri sighed, closed his eyes and looked at the door. Shin stood by the bed and crossed his arms a little.
AWhat happened to your son? He always looks angry,@ Demetri asked.
Shin sighed and looked at him, his eyes sad and worried. He glanced toward the door, making sure his son was gone, then looked at Demetri.
AHe fell in love with an angel. He betrayed her and tried to make up for it, but she stabbed him. He regrets it a lot,A he said and left.
Demetri smiled and looked at the ceiling as Sol came in. He looked at her and saw her smiling happily. She held up a vial of green liquid as it glowed brightly.
AI found a potion that will heal your wounds in five minutes. So you can save your girl,A she said.
He smiled and she put it on slowly. They both gasped as it finished, the wounds fading away.
AThank you Sol. How can I repay you?@ He asked, grabbing her hand.
She blushed and took her hand from his. She shook her head and smiled as she looked at him.
AYou can save you girl,A she said.
He nodded and rushed out of the building. She sighed and went back to work as she hoped Demetri could save her.
ASelene, I=m coming!@ He thought.


Chapter 3

Past


Selene was an angel, but she was still human. All the other angels called her their leader because she was stronger than everyone else. She was a chosen one, having the power of angels given to her by a god, to kill demons and save lives. She was the only one that had two angel wings, the others had six or four.
She was on a mission to kill a demon and was sent down to the human world to kill it. She spotted something and stopped, taking out her sword and slicing her finger on it. Blood ran down her sword and her wings glowed.
ACome on out! I know you=re there, demon!@ She shouted.
The demon jumped at her, but she sidestepped it and killed it. Two more suddenly appeared and charged at her. She sliced her hand again and charged at them, the one on the left swung his claw at her. She dodged it and cut its side. It howled and turned to dust
The other one came up behind her as she gasped. She did a back flip and stabbed the demon in its chest. It turned to dust as well and she sighed.
AVery good, for your first battle as an angel,A someone said.
She looked up at the top of a building and saw the man who had given her sword to her, Kyoto. Kyoto jumped down and grabbed her hand as she smirked. She sheathed her sword and it went into a jewel in her hand.
AYou did well. You should relax, come have dinner with me,A he said and went into a false human form.
He was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. She went into her real human form and was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans, black shoes. They went to a park after eating and she saw a man, sitting by the river.
AI=m going to head back Selene,A Kyoto said smiling as he went into his angel form. She nodded and saw the man=s hands clench. Kyoto disappeared and she walked toward the man.
AWhat=s wrong?@ She asked as she looked at him.
The man turned into a demon and grabbed a sword. She blocked it with her sword as he gasped and went back into his human form.
@She=s pretty, but she=s a stupid angel,A he thought.
She laughed lightly and walked on the water as she twirled around. He gasped as the moon hit her skin, making her angelic. She stopped as her angel wings came out as he scoffed and disappearing.
AThat was tough to trick him,A she thought and went to the underworld in her human form.
She gasped as she saw a huge castle and saw a bunch of guards. Her cell phone rang and she answered it smirking.
ASelene, go to the underworld and trick the prince into loving you, then kill him,A Kyoto said and hung up.

She put it away and saw the prince. She giggled and he looked at her as his eyes widened.
AHi prince of the underworld,A she said smiling.
The next few months they talked to each other, until one day. He walked toward her and she walked to the river. She started walking on it and he got annoyed.
AWhat is it Zen?@ She asked curiously as she stood on it.
Zen stepped on the water and fell as she sighed. She caught him as he gasped and looked away. She looked at him and smiled a little.
AI=ll teach you how to walk on the water if you want?@ She said, smiling.
He smiled as he nodded and she put him on the water. He gasped as he stood on it and looked in amazement. She smiled and a guard saw them. He took out his spear and rushed at her as she sighed.
She pulled her jewel out and focused on summoning her scythe. Zen growled a little at the guard.
AStop, it=s okay!@ Zen shouted, stepping in front of her.
She gasped as he did that and the guard stopped as he glared at him. Zen glared at the guard and growled more as Selene looked at Zen.
AShe=s an angel! I have orders from your father to kill them,A the guard shouted.
Zen grabbed the man=s throat and he dropped his spear as Zen glared at him, his eyes murderous. The man=s legs kicked wildly as he gasped for air.
AI said it=s okay, leave us!@ He shouted, inhuman as his eyes glowed
He let him go and the man disappeared. He turned back to her and smiled as she smiled back.
ASelene,A he said as he walked toward her.
She looked at him as he put his hand on her face and kissed her. She gasped and her eyes widened in shock at what he did. He parted from her and embraced her. She smirked and embraced him back.
AI love you so much Selene, even though you=re an angel,A he whispered in her ear.
She looked at him and smiled as looked back. She kissed him and he kissed back.
AThis is easy to trick this demon,A she thought.
They parted and sat by the river, looking at the stars. Two months passed after that and they were a couple. They were about to get married.

AI have to kill him before he marries me, even though it hurts my heart,A she thought sadly.
She went between two trees and was wearing a dress, earrings and a necklace. She looked for Zen worriedly as she walked through the place.
AWhere is he? He should have snuck out of the palace by now,A she wondered, looking at the palace in worry, hand on her heart.
She heard laughing and turned around. Her eyes widened as she gasped and stepped back.
AZen!@ she said shocked as she backed up.
Zen was her lover, the king of the underworlds son, and he had betrayed her.
ASelene! This isn=t what it looks like,A he said, getting off of the girl under him.
Selene backed up as he reached for her, tears in her eyes. He sighed and touched her hand as she flinched.
AHow could you!@ she shouted as tears fell down her face..
He embraced her and he coughed up blood as he looked at her. Her face was angry and his was shocked. She had wings out of her back and was wearing her kimono dress. Her sword was in his stomach.
AGoodbye, Zen,A she whispered.
She pulled her sword out of him and stabbed him in his heart as tears fell down her face. She saw the girl and killed her too and she disappeared into dust. Suddenly fifteen demon guards showed up and she disappeared as they shot arrows at her.
She came back to the angel world and sighed as she went into her angel form smiling.
AI did it,A she thought.
Two months passed and she had convinced the angels to let her live on earth. They agreed and she started her new life there. One day she was walking down a river smiling and heard a twig snap. She went into her angel form growling.
It was Zen and she gasped as she pulled her sword out. She held her arms crossed as he charged at her. She cut him in his side as she passed him. He screamed and gripped it as she smirked.
She cut her hand on her sword and spun around. She gasped as he was right in front of her and his sword in her stomach. She coughed up blood and he raised his sword, preparing to kill her.

He dropped his sword and put his hand on her head. She gasped and slashed at him as he tried to dodge. He screamed as she cut his arm and it turned to dust as he gasped. He tackled her to the ground and she tried to get away as he kissed her, hand on her head.
AGoodbye Selene. I=ve always loved you,A he whispered and erased her memories.
She gasped as her eyes widened and he looked at her sadly. She stabbed his stomach with her sword and he disappeared as she started to lose her memories. Kyoto found her and took her to the angel world in worry. One hour passed and she woke up as she looked around.
She saw two angels and gasped. They looked at her and she trembled a little in fear. It tortured him to know that she didn=t know him anymore.
AShe=s lost all of her memories. We=ll have to seal her powers up in her sword for now, until she=s ready to fight again,A a man was saying, looking at her smiling.
Kyoto nodded and the man walked away, Kyoto smiled at her and walked toward her. She looked at him and he knelt by her.
AAm I dead?@ She asked in shock.
Kyoto shook his head and grabbed the jewel from her hand. He sat by her hand and took it gently.
ANo, you=re near death. I=m going to send you back with a power to see sprits and save them,A he said and put the jewel on her head.
She gasped as it glowed and took all her powers to fight, except save spirits and see them. He smiled sadly as he made her faint and caught her. He carried her to a bench and set her down smiling.
AI=ll be with you always, Selene,A he whispered and transformed into his human form called Alex.
From that day they started hanging out. Kyoto watched over her when she slept to and was happy with the life she was living now.
In the present Selene woke up, moaning as she gripped her head. She saw Kyoto looking at her.
ASelene do you remember everything?@ He asked.
She smiled at him and nodded. He smiled back and helped her stand, giving her sword to her.
@We=ve all missed you. Please come back to us,A he said as he touched her cheek.
She blushed and brushed it away sadly. He looked at her, confused at her actions.

AI can=t. I=m in love with Demetri,A she told him calmly..
He looked away and she touched his hand as he sighed. She looked at him sadly, she wanted to come back, but she had to protect him from other angels.
AThe demon, right?@ He asked, looking at her.
She nodded as her face turned serious. He kissed her cheek and parted as she blushed. He looked at her and chuckled.
AYou=re an ex-angel now, one of the fallen. They will be after you for falling in love with him,A he said calmly.
She nodded and teleported as he sighed. He went over to an intercom and called everyone to kill Selene, even though it killed him to say it. Selene cursed under her breath as she fell through the air and growled.
AI should have picked a landing first,A she thought angrily.
She tried to call her powers back, but it didn=t work. She gasped and grabbed her sword as the ground was coming closer.
ASELENE!A Someone shouted.
She looked down and gasped happily as she saw Demetri. Her face softened realizing she wasn=t a human.
AWill he still love me, even though I=m an ex-angel, not a human?@ She thought sadly as she closed her eyes.
He caught her in his arms and saw her sad expression. He touched her face in worry.
AWhat=s wrong?@ He asked, expression changing to worry.
She looked at him as tears formed in her eyes, but he wiped them away.
AI=m an angel Demetri, A she told him.
He kissed her and she gasped as her eyes widened. She kissed back and he parted from her.
AI don=t care. I still love you. You being an angel doesn=t change anything A he said smiling.
She smiled at him and he flew down. Suddenly he hit a barrier and was thrown back. She gasped as a bright red light surrounded her and Demetri gripped her to him. The sky got dark and cloudy and a thousand angels came out, scythes in hand.
Selene gasped as a pulse went through her. Her kimono dress turned black as lightning went around, her eyes glowed red. Demetri=s eyes glowed with anger and her wings were still white.
@Selene you betrayed all of us!@ One shouted and two charged at her.

She gasped and grabbed Demetri as she flew out of the way. She pushed him out of the barrier as the angels came closer He gasped and tried to break through it. Selene faced the angels coming at her and made her sword into a skeleton looking scythe as she ran her hand over the jewel.
She flew at the angels as they charged at her. She flicked her scythe and dodged the angels quickly as she swung her scythe and killed some. She flew faster and dodged left and right in flashes as they swung at her. Some striking when they got the opportunity to.
She killing twenty in one swing as her eyes began to glow, blood on her face. Her scythe blocked blows and struck down more of the angels. Kyoto was there with the angels too and his eyes widened as he saw her.
"She=s turning into an evil angel, just like my brother is,A he thought.
He clenched his teeth and rushed through the angels as his scythe appeared in his hand.
ASELENE ENOUGH!@ Kyoto screamed as he hit her scythe with his and sparks flew.
She blocked his scythe with her scythe as she smirked. He growled angrily, knowing he should have forced her to stay.
AWhy, Kyoto? I have to protect myself,A she said as she smirked more.
Kyoto gasped as he was flung back with a huge blast. Demetri gasped as Kyoto's eyes widened at the person who was a couple feet from Selene. His brother flashed through Kyoto=s mind.
AIt=s him,A he thought.
Everyone stopped fighting as they looked to the left. There was a man with a white robe and black angel wings.
AIt=s him!@ The angels thought as they backed away.
The man looked at Selene and Demetri growled at him, feeling helpless. Selene growled at him as her wings turned black a little, her eyes still glowing red.


Chapter 4

Darkness and Temptation


The man approached Selene and touched her arm as she growled. Kyoto had not seen his brother in decades, disowning him.
ACome with me sister,@ He said calmly.

She gasped as she went back into her human form and he caught her. Her eyes widened from what he had just done to her. Did he really have that much power?
AThat=s a lie!@ Kyoto screamed as he rushed at the man.
The man held Kyoto by his arm. Kyoto dropped his scythe angrily. No matter how hard he hated him, he was still his brother
AYou=re my brother and you now that Gail!@ Kyoto yelled and he punched his chest.
Gail smiled and made Selene faint. Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped in shock.
AGail it=s not too late! Come back... come back home with me!A Kyoto pleaded.
Gail broke his arm and Kyoto screamed as he gripped it. He started healing it slowly as he flew back. Gail looked at Selene and touched her face as he smiled. Kyoto glared at Gail and Gail looked at him coldly.
AYou know I can=t come back, because I killed everyone in our family, only sparing you,A Gail said as he looked at Kyoto.
Kyoto got really angry at the memory and grabbed his sword. Gail smirked and stabbed him in his chest. Kyoto coughed up blood and fell, as an angel caught him, flying toward safely. Demetri tried to break the barrier again.
AYou must be her lover. Thank you for turning her like this,A Gail said smirking, and then laughing after that.
Demetri broke through the barrier, his sword in hand. He had to get her back, before anything happened to her
ASELENE!@ He shouted as he rushed at her.
He reached for her as he got closer to her hand. Gail got angry and stabbed Demetri in the stomach. He coughed up blood and glared at Gail, anger on his face.
AI would never let a demon touch my sister,A Gail growled and plunged his sword deeper in.
Demetri coughed up blood and screamed. His eyes closed and he looked at her through the slits in his eyes. He squinted at her and reached for her, blood on the sides of his mouth.
ASe... Selene,A his voice strained.
Gail punched him as Demetri grabbed her necklace and fell toward the ground. Gail gripped her tighter and appeared in front of Demetri as Demetri glared at him.

AIf you want to save her, then come and get her,A he mocked, smirking and disappeared.
Demetri growled and landed on the ground, a huge crater beneath him. He couldn=t believe he had lost to him, losing Selene as well. He stood up shakily and looked at where Selene had once been, so close.
ASELENE!@ he screamed as his teeth clenched and hands clenched in fists.
Sol appeared behind him as it started to rain. He was back in his human form, anger still making his blood boil.
ADemetri,A she said.
He spun around and walked toward her as she sighed.
ADemetri let=s think of a plan before you go save her,A she said, calm.
She gasped in pain as he grabbed her arm tightly and slammed her into a fence.
ANo! I have to go save her now! Give me something to make me stronger!@ He shouted as his eyes glowed, ticked off.
Sol looked away as the rain drenched them, she shook her head. He tightened his grip, she clenched her teeth.
ADemetri there isn=t anything like that, only a demon angel can save her. There=s no such thing as one!@ She shouted, anger and tears in her eyes.
He slammed her into the fence, she gasped in pain, bangs over his eyes, fists and teeth clenched.
ADON=T TELL ME THAT, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO SAVE HER!@ He shouted, the aura around him growing larger.
She shook her head and put her forehead on his. He gasped and blacked out, falling on the ground. His blood pooled around him from his wound, even in his condition, he couldn=t go after Gail. She picked him up and took him to the hospital, sighing as she entered the underworld.
ANobody can save her now that Gail, the angel demon, has her,A she whispered as she treated Demetri=s wounds.
Selene moaned as she woke up, she glanced around the room. The room was white, with a table and a huge window.
ASo you=re awake sister,A someone said.
She turned toward the door and saw Gail smiling. She didn=t smile, only glared at him with hate and anger.
ADon=t be like that. I saved you from the angels,A he said, sitting down beside her.

She glared at him more. He sighed and touched her cheek, as she gasped. He put his forehead on hers and she struggled against him, but to no avail.
AI=ll make you remember everything, my sister,A he said, closing his eyes.
She gasped as a huge pulse went through her and her eyes widened. She yelped as pain hit her and she gripped her chest tightly. He stood up and she touched her head, eyes closed at the pain.
ADo you remember?@ He asked as he looked at her.
She sat up and looked at Gail, then shook her head. He sighed and helped her up as he led her out of the room.
She glared at him more as he led her down a hall with statues. He paid no attention to her and seemed to enjoy her hating him.
AWhere are you taking me!@ She demanded angrily.
He didn=t answer as he went down to a cave and opened a door. She gasped as she ran into the chamber. There was a lake beneath a stone platform, carvings and paintings on the walls.
Her eyes widened as she gasped and Gail walked beside her. He put a necklace around her neck and smiled.
AThis is...!@ She said as her eyes widened more.
He sat down and looked at them, as she looked at him. He looked at her and then at the carvings on the wall
@This is a history and a legend of a powerful dark angel. She was very powerful, almost destroyed the world... trying to bring her lover back A he said as he traced a carving.
Selene traced the painting and squinted at one. There was a skeleton scythe and the woman was in a kimono dress. She gasped and went to her knees as Gail looked at her.
AHer scythe is the same as mine and the dress I wear now is too!@ She whispered in shock.
Gail smiled and walked toward her. He helped her up and his black wings came out as he traced the painting. She looked at them and trembled at the power they were emanating.
AThat was my wife,A he thought smiling.
She gasped and he put his hand on her cheek smiling. She looked at him and he looked back at her.
AWe are engaged Selene. You are going to be a wife of a legend. That was me a thousand years ago A he whispered in her ear.

She looked at him in shock and he smirked. She turned and ran away as tears streamed down her cheeks. Gail sighed as ran after her and pushed her against the wall.
AThat=s not possible!@ She shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks.
AIt is and you know what causes it,@ he growled.
ADemetri, help me,A she thought.
She closed her eyes as he force kissed her and pressed her against the wall. Gail parted from her as he put the ring on and she tried to get it off. He put a necklace on her and she couldn=t get that off either.
ASelene, if you=re with me, we could change this world. We can kill the angels, take revenge against them for your demon lover. You will be strong enough to protect him,A he said, caressing her face.
She touched the jewel at her neck and thought of Demetri.
AI will, for Demetri,A she said.
Her eyes began to glow a dark red. He smiled and kissed her and she kissed back. He embraced her tightly to him and she struggled.
@Be mine Selene. Live with me and we=ll take revenge against the angels,A he said, tightening his hold on her waist.
Her body wouldn=t listen to her as she embraced him back. A black string tied itself around her chest and she sighed as she fainted. He picked her up and set her on the bed.
@Let me think about it,A she said, looking at Gail.
He nodded and smiled as he stood up. She smiled back a little as he left the room. A month passed and she decided to do it, but fainted again after she made her decision. She opened her eyes and gasped, she was in total darkness, but saw a light.
She ran toward it and saw a woman with blonde hair and black eyes. She was wearing a white shirt and black pants with a sword at her side.
ASelene, are you willing to live with Gail, to protect Demetri?@ She asked as she turned toward Selene.
Selene thought of Demetri, what they had been through and opened her eyes nodding.
AYes whatever it takes,A she said.
She gasped as a black dragon tattoo appeared on her arm, reaching from the base of her neck to her hand. There was another one on her chest down to her stomach.
AYou=re ready to have my powers,A the woman said.

She walked toward Selene and embraced Selene to her. Selene embraced her back as her eyes closed and she fainted. Their wings came out and a white light enveloped them, then everything went dark.
Demetri moaned a little as he slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room. He growled as he sprang up and gripped his wound. AYou=re finally awake. I=m glad,A someone said.
He spun toward the door and saw Sol smiling. He glared at her and looked away as she sighed.
AHow long have I been out?@ He asked growling.
His teeth and hands clenched as his eyes shut. Sol sighed and leaned against the door. Her eyes closed and then she opened them.
AA month,A she said calmly.
He snapped and rushed at her. He yelped as he hit a barrier and went flying back onto the bed. He went into a sitting position and glared at her.
AYou=re not fully healed yet. It will take two more days to heal, you did get stabbed by a demon angels sword,A she said as she looked at him.
His eyes widened as she said demon angel. He bolted up in anger for her lying to him.
AGail is a demon angel?@ He asked as he glared at her.
She nodded and tossed him a picture. He grabbed it and looked at it intently. It was a picture of Gail before he turned evil.
AApparently he was the man in the Omar legend. Selene is his sister, but after that happened. She is the key to killing all the angels in his way to take revenge for his dead lover,A she said as she walked over to him.
He gasped as she put the potion from last time on him. His wound healed slower, but was healing and he looked at her.
ANow go to the demon king, tell him about you and Selene and he=ll give you something,A she said smiling.
He gripped her hand as he smiled. He kissed her cheek, and then ran down to the king=s throne room. She touched her cheek and smiled as she walked to her own room, bangs over her eyes.
AHe=ll never know how much I love him, but it=s okay knowing that he=s happy,A she thought as she smiled, tears in her eyes.
A pulse went through her and she ran into her room, pulling out a mirror and seeing what was happening in the human world. Demetri burst into the king=s room, out of breath. The king smiled at him, his son did too.
AYou came to save your girl, the one you love. I=ve known for a month now, I=m happy for you,A he said smiling.

Demetri walked toward Shin and he told Demetri to stand in the center of a platform, surrounded by water.
AHere, take this sword. It will help you kill Gail,A he said as he handed it to Demetri.
Demetri took the sword and gasped as it pulsed to life. It began to glow a bright crimson orange, the straps on the hilt wrapped around his right arm to his shoulder and were tight and burning. He screamed as his eyes widened and he gripped his chest. He coughed up blood out of his mouth as he gasped, his body burning and pulsing with the sword.
The water turned a dark blue and red as a red aura burst from him. The water rose and spiraled around him, hot and glowing. The king smiled and his son was jealous.
AWhy do you want me?@ The sword growled.
An aura forming a black tiger was in front of him. He gasped as his eyes widened, when he saw it. The pulses going through him and the tiger growled as its eyes glowing.
AI WANT TO SAVE SELENE!@ He shouted as water getting hotter and wilder.
The tiger leapt into his body and he gasped as his eyes widened. His wings came out, but were brown, tan, scaly and smooth.
AI will help you, if that is what you want,A the sword answered and everything went back to normal.
Demetri went to his knees and the swords straps went around the hilt. He gasped as huge, black claw marks slashed up his arm. He smirked and stood up.
AGood luck, DemetriA Shin said.
Demetri looked at him and nodded. Shin nodded back and his son left the room.
ADemetri, something=s wrong. It=s the human world, almost all the demons living there are dead!@ Sol shouted as she burst into the Shin=s throne room.
Shin and Demetri looked at Sol and she put the mirror into the drive as a monitor popped up. Demetri and Shin gasped at the sight. The ground had blood on it, as well as the building. The city had been cleared of any life.
AWho did this? Was it Gail!?@ Demetri asked angrily.
Shin gasped as he recognized the sword cut. A jacket was lying on the ground by three dead humans. Demetri looked at Shin=s shocked expression.

AHe gave someone the sword of Armageddon!@ He whispered in shock.
Demetri looked at Sol and she had tears in her eyes. Shin looked at him and Sol. Sol wiped the tears from her eyes as Demetri clenched his sword tightly.
AI=m going to save Selene and kill Gail. You have my word,A Demetri said angrily.
Shin nodded and Demetri disappeared to the human world. Shin looked at Sol and walked toward her. She looked at him, her eyes shaking with realization.
AI know who did this. It was...@ she said.
Shin=s eyes widened at the mention of the name. Sol went to her room to rest and Shin was deciding what to do as he took his sword in hand.
Demetri ran through the city, sword in hand as he scanned the city for Selene or Gail. He rounded a corner and gasped at the sight. There were dead humans and blood all over. What shocked him most wasn=t all the blood and bodies littering the ground but the person standing in the middle of it.
The person had a long sword, gleaming silver and wet with blood. The person wore black, leather pants, a tan belt from the left to right leg going up, and wearing a black bra. Blood was splattered on the person=s body and face.
ANo,A Demetri said in shock as his voice and eyes shook.
He was frozen in place as the person noticed his presence..


Chapter 5

Decisions and power


Demetri gasped as he saw the woman=s face. His sword glowed blue and he trembled at the sight of the woman covered in blood.
ASeY Selene,A he said, his voice and eyes shaking.
The woman=s grip on the sword tightened. Her eyes were lifeless and just a light blue was in her eyes as she looked at him.
ASeleneY. why?@ He asked as he took a step toward her.
The sword at his side growled as he continued to look at her, too shocked to move.

AWatch out!@ The sword shouted at him, wrapping its straps around his arm and blocking Selene=s sword in one movement.
Demetri gasped as sparks flew. She forced her sword down as he held her off grunting.
ASelene, snap out of it!@ Demetri yelled as he forced her back.
She caught herself and struck at him. He grunted as he blocked her attack and she swung again. He got cut across his chest as he screamed and she raised it again, he blocked it.
ASe.... Selene,A he said as he fought the pain.
He got to his feet as she jumped back and her eyes turned back to normal. Gail appeared beside her and Demetri growled at him, as her sword glowed brighter.
@Selene why are you doing this? Why kill these humans, fight with me?!@ He shouted, pleading her to answer.
Her sword disappeared in her hand and the jewel in her hand glowed once. She looked at Demetri and he looked at her sadly.
ASo that I can become strong enough to protect you from the angels,A she said, putting a black jacket on her.
Gail disappeared in black smoke and Demetri stepped toward her. Her eyes were not back to normal and were still hazed over a little, like she had no emotion left in her.
AHE=S USING YOU, DON=T YOU SEE THAT!?@ He shouted angrily, a red aura growing around him.
She turned and started walking towards him. He blocked her attack from above in an instant. She was in the air and he held his sword sideways as she glared at him, electricity went around her.
AI have to get stronger to protect you! SoY DON=T STAND IN MY WAY!@ She shouted, striking him down.
A huge blast erupted and he was sent flying back into a tree. He gripped his side painfully as blood dribbled down his mouth and jaw and coughed some up. He gasped as his eyes widened when she was in front of him and he tried to get away, but was too wounded.
ASelene how could you?@ he whispered as he turned his head away from her, his teeth clenched as his eyes shut.
She knelt down, put her sword away, and put her hand on his gently. He opened his eyes, but didn=t look at her as memories of them flashed through his head. She put her other hand on his cheek and turned his head to face hers, his teeth unclenched. She smiled at him and he didn=t.

He gasped as she leaned toward him as his eyes closed. His eyes widened as she put her mouth on his and kissed him softly. Her white wings came out and then disappeared in a burst of feathers.
ASelene,A he thought and kissed her back.
He moaned a little as her lips brushed against his. She squeezed his hand and he squeezed back, his other hand tangled in her hair. He released his hand from hers and wrapped it around her waist, bringing her body to his as he kissed her passionately. She wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his body to hers more, crushing against his.
She parted from him and stood up as he looked at her sadly. She looked at him sadly and sighed.
ASelene, come back. Don=t let him steal your soul,A he whispered as their fingertips touched lightly.
She shook her head and took out her sword. He gasped and withdrew his hand as he lifted his sword up.
AI can=t," she had tears in her eyes a little. "I won=t, if it=s to save you,A she stuck at him as her eyes went hazy again.
He screamed as it cut into his shoulder and he forced her sword back, gripping his wound. His eyes shut tightly in pain as he gasped in pain several times.
ADon=t interfere in this!@ She whispered in a low and dangerous tone as she knelt toward him.
He tried to grab her hand, but she disappeared. He coughed up blood and stood up shakily. Sol appeared suddenly and walked toward him.
ASelene, I will save you,A he whispered..
Two weeks passed and he came to a city. It was covered with blood and corpses and he gasped as his eyes shook. He prayed, hoped, that it wasn't her doing again as his legs carried him through the streets.
ASelene... not again, please don=t let it be her,A he thought, rushing through the city as he scanned for her.
He turned a corner and ran toward a park. He gasped as he saw Selene by some humans. Her sword was raised and five humans were in front of her, shaking badly in fear. She was covered in blood splatters and was wearing a back bra and black pants.
She swung it down and Demetri blocked her attack, anger and sadness in his eyes. He stood his ground as she bared her sword on his own and glanced behind him.
@Run, go now!@ He shouted angrily at the humans.

Selene forced her sword down and chased after the humans. Demetri gasped and ran after her as she raised her sword.
ASelene!@ He shouted as he tackled her to the ground.
His sword skidded and so did hers as they both dropped on the ground. She glared at him and he pinned down her body as he looked at her.
AGet off of me!@ She shouted angrily as she tried to get away.
She gasped as he glared at her, true anger in his eyes. She had never seen him this angry before and rain started to drip on them both.
AI WON=T! I=M NOT LEAVING YOU LIKE THIS, I WILL SAVE YOU!@ He shouted as he shook with anger.
She glared at him and he glared back as lightning flashed, she smirked.
AI need saving?!" she scoffed as her eyes started to glow little. "You do... I=m doing this for you!@ She shouted.
He was about to argue back, but he gasped as his eyes widened. He looked down as his eyes and breathing shook. She had stabbed him with a dagger in his stomach as blood ran down the glinting metal and on her hand. She pushed him off of her and put her foot on his chest, he took it off, trying to get up.
She walked to her sword, picked it up, and walked back to him, her eyes glowing red. He sat up a little and gripped his wound tightly.
AI told you to stay away from me,A she growled, clutching her sword.
He gasped as she raised her sword. Lightning stuck and he closed his eyes, sighing in defeat. She swung her sword down on him as he opened his eyes and smiled at her.
AI wanted to see you smile one more time,A he whispered.
She gasped as someone stabbed her through her chest. Her eyes widened as she coughed up blood. His eyes widened in shock as he trembled with fear for her life.
ASELENE!@ Demetri shouted, ignoring his wounds and catching her falling body in his arms.
He looked up and gasped as he saw Shin behind her. Demetri glared at him and Shin sighed as he looked at Demetri and Selene.
AThat won=t be enough to kill an angel. You have to cut off their wings,A he said and sheathed his sword.
Demetri caressed her face and she moaned as she opened her eyes. Her vision was hazy at first and then cleared up. She saw Demetri and glared at him.
ARelease me Demetri!@ She shouted and got out of his grasp.

He growled and sprinted after her. She glanced back at him and disappeared as she grabbed her sword. Demetri went to his knees a minute after she disappeared.
ASelene, no,A he whispered as the rain continued to fall on him.
Shin pulled out his sword and Demetri looked at him. Demetri stood up and healed his wound. Memories went through his head as he closed his eyes and sighed.
ASELENE!@ He shouted as he raised his head in the air as lightning cracked through the sky.
Selene came back to Gail and walked into her room. He was sitting on the bed and saw her in the doorway.
ASelene!@ He shouted, running to her and leading her to the bed.
She coughed up blood as he fixed her wound and she clenched her teeth painfully.
ADemetri stopped me from killing the humans and the king stabbed me. I=m sorry,A she said as she looked at Gail.
He looked at her as he sighed and put his other hand on her cheek smiling. She grabbed his hand and he kissed her as she kissed back, then parted.
ADon=t be. We=ll make the king pay for what he did, together and Demetri will be safe,A he said.
She nodded and went to sleep when Gail was done and he sat beside her. He embraced her to him and stroked her hair.
AIt=s going to be okay, my Anasi,A he whispered and fell asleep.
Demetri woke up an hour later and he was in his room. He remembered what had happened and growled in frustration.
AYou=re awake, I=m so glad,A Sol said and rushed toward him as she cried.
He smiled and touched her cheek, wiping the tears away. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He stood up as Shin came in and they both looked at him.
ADemetri and Sol, I=m going to train you two how to use your swords,A he said smiling.
They both nodded and Demetri thought of Selene. He followed Shin and Sol followed. They both came into a chamber, water was around a platform, sand on the other side and gates around it as it glowed blue.
AThis is where you two will train. I=m sure Gail is looking for a partner for Selene too. You=ll need this to be ready,A Shin said.

They both nodded and grabbed their swords. Sol=s sword was blue with golden engravings on it, a blue snake was on her left arm. It started glowing dimly and her sword glowed blue too.
AHer sword is called Choice and Demetri, yours is called Calamity,A he said as he smiled.
They walked into the platform and it started to glow red. Their aura=s got bigger and stronger as their swords glowed brighter. Demetri=s sword made the water go up in a spiral around them both. Sol=s sword made the sand and rocks blow against them hard.
ASol and Demetri, are you two ready?@ Shin asked as he walked into the water and sand.
They both nodded and charged at each other as their swords glowed brightly. Their swords clashed and the water and sand clashed, drenching them both. They were both bloody from the rocks hitting them too. Shin charged at them and they charged at him, their swords clashing.
Shin smirked and punched Demetri in the stomach as he coughed. A flash of Selene=s face went through his mind and he forced his sword down at Shin angrily. Sol gasped and Shin grunted as he held off both their attacks. Sol pushed harder down, thinking of Demetri as she smirked.
Shin forced them both back and they hit their swords auras feet first. Demetri and Sol gasped when they stayed on them and didn=t go through them. Demetri was on the swirling water and Sol was on the sand. Shin smirked and jumped at them as he slashed down.
Demetri jumped out of the way, doing a flip with his hand, turned and charged at him. Their wings came out and changed as they hit Shin head on. Shin screamed as they did a crisscross on him with their swords. Shin caught himself and held off Sol and Demetri=s attacks.
Demetri and Sol=s eyes glowed as their wings came out. Their auras began to glow as they took a step toward Shin. Shin focused and smirked at them.
ADo it now!@ Shin thought to his twin swords.
His swords glowed brighter and pushed Sol and Demetri back. They grunted and landed on the ground and sat up a little. They both gasped as a red and yellow aura surrounded them. The aura disappeared and they gasped as their eyes widened.

Demetri was wearing a black leather sleeveless shirt, a brown jacket and black pants, a brown belt went up from his right leg to his hip. Sol wore a white bra and white pants, a black belt going up from her left leg over her shoulder.
AYour transformation is complete. You need to do five missions in order to get stronger, then you can save Selene, but she will get stronger as well,A he said and they nodded.


Chapter 6

Leading and Control


Selene moaned a little as she opened her eyes. She glanced beside her and saw Gail, his arm around her waist. She smiled and got out of the bed and went outside. She sighed as the sunlight hit her and she heard the door open.
AWhat=s wrong?@ Gail asked, slipping his arms around her waist.
She got out of his grasp and looked at him sadly. He touched her cheek and she brushed it away, angry a little. He stepped back and she glared at him a little.
AI agreed to live with you and do whatever it takes, but you and I are not in a relationship. That=s the only condition of me living with you,A she said, looking at him angrily.
He nodded and stepped back as he disappeared. She faced the sun and the wind blew her clothes gently as her eyes saddened. She gripped the necklace Demetri had given her.
AI need to get stronger so that I can protect Demetri, this is the only way to do this. I will get stronger and then kill the angels for what they did,A she thought angrily..
She put on her black jacket and walked toward a city. She looked at her hand, blood on it still and her sword too.
ASelene meet with a demon who will help you in the city,A Gail thought to her, then the voice went away.
She sighed as she walked went across a bridge. She stopped and looking at the water and then at herself.
AI need to wash this blood off first,A she thought.
She took a bath, got out, put her clothes back on, and then headed toward the city. She clenched her teeth as memories of Demetri and herself flashed through her head.

AGet out of my head!@ She thought angrily.
She reached the city and jumped off a cliff as her wings came out. She walked down a street and then into an alley. She looked up and saw a sign that said black demon merchant. She stepped inside, pulling away the curtain.
The shop was full of jars, bowls, pendants and scents she didn=t like. They made her nose scrunch up in disgust,
AWe=re closed come back tomorrow!A someone growled.
She smirked and pulled away another curtain, walking into the room. A hand gripped her throat and she stopped as her body stiffened. A demon appeared in front of her, with a human like face, wearing a black cloak, sharp teeth and blue bright orbs in its eyes.
AI was sent here by Gail. He said you had some help to give, but if you refuse,A she said as her eyes turned hazy.
She grabbed her sword and pointed it at his side as she glared at him. The demon just looked at her calmly, probably having dealt with people like this before her.
AI=ll kill you myself, save Gail the dirty work,A she hissed.
The demon let her throat go and she put her sword away. Her eyes went back to normal and it smirked. Selene didn=t feel comfortable around the demon, the sooner she left, the better.
ASo you=re Gail=s sister. You want more power to save your lover. This way.A the demon said.
It walked deeper into the store and she followed. It was gloomy and full of webs, dark and cold. The demon shuffled through boxes and found a box.
AHere we are,A the demon said, grabbing a box and handing it to her.
She grabbed it, wiped the dust off it and looked at the words. The box was a tan and gold color, coated with dust like an old artifact.
APandora=s box,A she read.
She gasped and looked at the demon. He nodded and led her to the entrance of the store. She stopped at the curtain and the demon stopped behind her.
AWhat is this?@ She asked as she turned toward him curiously.
He smirked and touched her shoulder as she looked at him.
AIt was once said that it contained the destruction of the world, but nobody knows. That was just a legend,A he said and walked away.

She walked by a bridge and looked at the water. Lightning cracked as it started rained, making her clothes drenched. She looked at the box in her and sighed.
AHello Demetri," she said and turned to face him.
Demetri had his sword out and looking at her. Selene sighed and pulled out her sword as a gold aura surrounded her. He gasped at what was in her hand and then looked back up at her.
ANo Selene. Tell me.... tell me that=s not what I think it is!@ he shouted, fear for Selene gripping him.
Her sword growled and growled. She looked at it and her eyes started to get hazy.
AQuiet Armageddon, be patient. We=ll return to Gail soon,A she said to the sword as her hand touched it.
Demetri clenched Calamity tighter as he clenched his teeth, bangs over his eyes. Selene looked at him with no emotion in her face.
"It is isn=t it? Pandora=s box in your hand,A Demetri said.
His aura disappeared and he went to his knee, panting as his sword went away. Selene gasped when he suddenly did that and looked at the box. She clenched her teeth and walked toward him, kneeling in front of him.
"What=s wrong Demetri, sick?@ She mocked sadly.
Demetri gripped Selene=s shoulder and his body leaned against hers. She gasped as her eyes widened, he was getting weaker by the second as she gripped him.
ASelene, it=s Pandora=s box. It makes every demon weak.... really weak,A he whispered, panting as got weaker.
His body slumped more into hers, his head in her neck. He tried breathing in her scent, but couldn't because of how weak he was becoming.
ASelene, when you said back to Gail.... did you.... did you...@ he couldn=t answer because he was too afraid of her answer.
He looked at her as he panted harder and she looked back. Pandora=s Box glowed and his grip got weaker.
ATell me the truth, Selene.... are you.... are youY sleeping with Gail?" He asked as he looked at her. "Please, if you are kill me now... I... I couldn=t bare the thought of his hands all over you. You=re the reason I=m fighting.... you=re my reason to live,A he whispered as he pleaded.
She couldn=t answer as she looked at him sadly at his condition. His eyes widened at the silence.

ANo... Selene... tell me it isn=t true, please my... my Selene!A he whispered, his grip loosening from her shirt.
She gripped him and embraced him to her. He tried to get away from her, but kept him in her arms forcefully and she sighed.
AI=m not sleeping with Gail. I=m doing all this for you, I told him not to touch me. I love you and only you Demetri,A she whispered as she smiled.
He smiled and gasped as a pulse went through him. She looked at him and covered Pandora=s Box up in fear. His strength returned, but only a little as he still panted.
ASelene I love you, I love you so much. I will save you, trust me,A he whispered, putting his hand on her cheek.
She stood up and took Pandora=s Box as she glared at him a little. He gasped as she pulled the sheet off. He instantly lost his strength again as he panted harder.
AI don=t need you to save me!@ She shouted.
She turned around and disappeared angrily, glaring at him still. Demetri couldn=t move, even though his strength was slowly returning. Sol showed up and saw Demetri on the ground.
ADemetri what happened?! Where=s Selene!@ She shouted as she helped him up.
He was really weak and opened his eyes a little, but his body slumped. She tried to support him as his strength slowly came back.
AShe... she has.... she has Pandora=s box,A he whispered faintly.
Sol gasped and took him to where he had lived with Selene, laying him on the bed. She sat by him and gripped his hand in worry.
AIt=s okay Sol... I=ll be fine... just need to rest,A he said tiredly.
He fainted and she smiled a little, leaving the room and shutting the door. He was in a different world and looked around in confusion. It was full of trees and a stream, the sky was blue and lavender. He saw his sword sat down and sighed.
ASo Selene has Pandora=s Box. It will help weaken Gail, only a little,A Calamity said as he sat by him, purring as Demetri scratched its head.
AWhat do I do now? How do I save her from the darkness that has her soul and heart now?A Demetri asked, looking at the water.
Calamity looked at him and sighed. He looked at the forest instead sadly as its eyes closed.
AIf it comes to this Demetri... can you really kill the one you love?@ It asked as it looked at him.

Demetri gasped as his eyes widened. He stood up and went over to a tree, shaking as he touched it.
AI don=t know if I can.... if I have to, to save her soul. I will and then...A he said and turned toward his sword. AI=ll kill myself too, I=ll be with her.A
Calamity nodded as he faded away and so did Demetri. Demetri groaned as he opened his eyes and looked around. Sol gasped and embraced him as he sighed and sat up.
@I=m alright Sol. Let=s go on the mission king asked us to do,A he said.
She nodded and got ready as he did too. They headed out the door and went to a city, night was upon them when they came in.
Selene was sitting on the bed in her room. She was looking at the moon and sighed in frustration.
AWhy Gail? Why does Demetri want to save me and stop me from what I=m trying to do for him and his soul?@ She thought, going toward the window and touching it.
Gail came in, walked toward her and touched her shoulder. Selene jumped at his touch and looked at him.
AHe just doesn=t understand, don=t worry he will,A Gail said and disappeared.
She nodded and grabbed her sword. She laid on the bed and fell asleep, Gail covered her up as he sighed.
ADemetri,A she muttered.
She was in a dark place again and her sword spirit was in front of her. It was a dragon that was black and white.
AWhy am I here?@ She asked, glaring at the dragon.
It laughed and curled its tail around her. She gasped and tried to get away as it looked at her. Her eyes widened as pulses went through her body and the dragon released her.
ASelene you must become darker to save his soul. The king will kill Demetri after this is over. You know that. Kill the king before he kills your love,A it said and went into her body.
Selene screamed as a huge black aura surrounded her. She suddenly sprang up in shock. Gail was tipping a glass of black stuff in her mouth and she glared at him.
AThis is to help you get strong sister,A he said.
She nodded, drank it and then he told her about the ancient legend and what happened. Gail said he would give her some of his powers for her to kiss him as she looked at her hands.

AI know what you want. If you and I sleep together, then you would get stronger,@ she growled.
She looked at him and shook her head. He sighed and pushed her against the bed as she gasped.
AI love you Selene. Please. If I had been stronger I could have saved the one I loved,A he said as he looked at her.
She pushed him away and walked out of the room as she panted. Gail followed her in the room and she turned to face him.
AYou just want a son! I can=t give you that!A she shouted as she glared at him.
He handed her a glass and she took it. She drank it and threw it against the wall. He gasped when she did that, stepping back in fear a little. Her aura was black and red now as her eyes turned hazy again.
AThe darker she becomes, the stronger she will get. The more my plan will proceed and the more I can make her mine,A he thought, walking toward her and grabbing her hand.
She looked at him and fainted. He caught her and laid her on the bed as he touched her cheek. She moaned a little as she turned to her side and he laid down next to her.
@When all the good disappears from her heart. I can make her mine and kill the angels once and for all for killing Anasi,A he thought, gripping her to him tighter.
Demetri gasped as a pulse went through him and Sol looked at him. He growled and punched a wall as Sol touched his shoulder.
AHe=s making her darker Sol! He=s making Selene darker, when there is no more good in her he=ll make her his!@ He shouted.
Sol pulled out her sword and killed a demon that was appearing, then looked back at Demetri. His grip on Calamity tightened as he growled angrily.
AJust thinking of that man having his hands over my Selene makes my blood boil!@ He shouted as his aura continued to grow.
Sol embraced him and he gripped her too tight. She yelped and he looked at her angrily. She looked at him in pain and he loosened his grip a little bit.
ADemetri calm down! I know that you can hear Gail thinking because he stabbed you, but Selene is alright!@ She shouted as more pain went through her.

He gasped when he knew Selene was okay and calmed down, taking his hands off Sol. She sighed and looked at him sadly as he sighed.
ASorry Sol,A he said and walked off.
They both killed demons in the city and rested at an inn as Demetri thought of Selene. Sol sat by him, rubbing his back and he sighed a little. He smiled and fell asleep, talking to Calamity again after that.
ASelene,A he thought as he fell asleep.
They woke up in the morning and walked through town, Shin showed up and they went into an alley.
AWe know where Selene is going next. Omar city,A he said, pointing to a place on the map.
Sol gasped and they both looked at her in confusion. She touched her necklace and looked at them as she put the necklace under her shirt.
AThat was the city where Gail lost his lover. He wants revenge,A she said.
They nodded and went to the city. Selene was walking to that city as well, sword in hand.


Chapter 7

Legend of Omar City and Choice

Demetri and Sol entered a temple. The walls had vines on them and the halls were long and dark. They pulled out their swords in union as they stepped inside.
ABe careful. Something=s not right in this place,A Calamity thought to Demetri and he nodded as Sol did too.
They grabbed two torches and walked up two railings going in the temple. They saw a gold bowl and put the torches it. The fire licked its way down the stairs and the room.
AAnd so the world had light,A Sol said and Demetri looked at her as she looked back.
A pulse went through Demetri and he gripped his stomach as he went one knee. Sol helped him up and her expression was fearful. Demetri grew angry a little as he clenched his teeth..
AIt=s Gail. Something=s happened and Selene is here as well,A he grunted, pain lacing his voice.

They walked down the hall and saw a room. They went into the room and gasped. There were paintings on the wall of the Omar legend. Demetri put his hand on one as Sol came up behind him.
Sol looked at it and they both gasped as they gripped their heads, going to their knees.
ASo we=re finally going to find out about the legend.A Sol thought and they both fainted.
Two thousand years ago, a month before a war, the town was a market and very busy. Gail was walking down a street and wore a white robe.
AGail, wait!@ Someone shouted.
He turned around and woman grabbed his arm, panting as he chuckled.
AYou never wait for me,A she said angrily and chiding him, turning from him.
He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. She blushed and looked at him. He looked at her lovingly and she looked back the same.
ASorry, I really am,A he whispered in her ear and kissed her.
They parted and he sighed as she gripped his arm. He looked at her worried and she turned her gaze away.
AGail, take me away. Take me away from here with you,A she whispered.
She embraced him and he chuckled a little. He smiled and embraced her back as she smiled at him. He smelled her scent as he smiled more, loving the way she smelt and how she felt in his arms.
AI will one day. When your kingdom falls, and your parents are gone. I promise I will,A he said as he ran his hands through her hair, his face in her hair too.
She laughed lightly as he kissed her neck. Her eyes shimmered with love and she sighed.
@Gail, please. Take me away.... take me to the end of the world,A she whispered.
He nodded and bowed as she took his hand. He kissed it and she blushed when he did that as he looked up at her.
AIf that is your deepest wish princess Anasi,A he said, picking her up and flying into the desert.
They got to a lake and sat down. She smiled as he ran his hand through her hair. He smiled as she laid her head on his chest.
AStay with me Gail, forever,A she said, staring into his blue eyes.

He smiled and kissed her as she kissed back. He laid her on the ground, taking off her shirt and wrapping his arm around her waist tightly.
AI will Anasi, until the world ends,A he whispered, pulling away from her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he smiled as she took off his shirt. She smiled back at him and tied her necklace around his neck. He looked at it as it shimmered in the night and looked back at her.
Gail I love you,A she whispered as she smiled.
He leaned down and kissed her passionately as she kissed back. He ran his hand in her hair, tangling it with his hand.
AI love you too Anasi. More than you=ll ever know,A he whispered, smiling as he parted from her.
The night wore on and morning came. Gail moaned a little as he opened his eyes. Anasi was beside him, her head and arms on his chest and he smiled.
He got up and put his shirt and pants on and walked toward the water. Suddenly ten guards came behind him, three in front and behind of Anasi. They held their swords up as Gail gasped and his eyes widened.
ANO!@ He screamed, rushing toward her as he raised his sword.
He killed the guards in his way and went to his knees when he got struck from behind.
AAnasi, no,A he thought as he blacked out.
He woke up an hour later and looked around. He was in a cell with no windows and his arms tied behind his back.
AWhere am I? Where=s Anasi?@ He asked the darkness, worried and scared for her.
He heard a cell door open and looked toward it. His vision was still hazy a little and he was still dizzy.
AWho the hell are you!?@ Gail shouted as he glared at the man.
The man smirked and another one came in, both wearing white robes. Gail glared at them as he tried to break the chains and the guard bowed to the man.
AWe have to test how much power the girl has by hurting or killing this angel, her lover,A the man said and two guards came in, swords out.
They walked up and stabbed him as Gail screamed. He went to his knees, blood pouring from his wound as he coughed. His eyes were shut tightly in pain and his teeth clenched.

ATake him to her cell. Take her out and kill him,A the man said and left.
They picked him up and dragged him down a hallway, it was dimly lit. He couldn=t tell if it was because of his eyes or the lights. He thought of Anasi and coughed a blood. They got to a room and they threw his body on the ground.
A woman gasped as her eyes widened and she screamed. Gail glanced up at her as blood trickled down his mouth
AGAIL!@ She shouted, running up to the bars as tears streamed down her cheek.
A guard kicked him and he yelped as coughed up blood, falling on his side. His teeth clenched in and pain and his eyes squinted at her a little.
AStop it! You=re hurting him, let him go! Keep me here just don=t hurt him!@ She shouted, tears flying as she continued glaring at the men.
The man in the white robe came in and unlocked the cell. She ran toward Gail and put his head on her lap. The man pulled her hair and she yelped in pain. Gail snapped and grabbed the man=s throat, slamming him against the wall.
"Don=t you dare touch her or I=ll kill you!@ Gail shouted angrily.
The man chuckled and the guards shocked Gail as he screamed, dropping to the ground. Anasi crawled toward him and put her head on his chest. The man stepped on his hand and he clenched his teeth. She growled at him and bit his foot as he yelped.
The man looked at his guards and nodded. The guards grabbed Anasi's arms and tied her to a pole as she glared at them.
"Now princess Anasi, show us how strong you really are or we=ll kill Gail,A the man said and stepped on Gail=s chest.
He yelped and tried to get the foot off as he coughed up blood.
AI told you before I can=t! I don=t know how to unlock my true power, why won=t you believe me!@ She shouted, fear in her eyes for Gail
The man questioned her for an hour while hurting Gail more. He was getting frustrated with Anasi for not being truthful.
ANow if you don=t answer this, I will kill him!@ The man shouted, his temper out of control.
Gail was bleeding badly and he was almost near death. His blood was in a pool around him and he coughed up more. Anasi didn=t answer and the man grabbed Gail as the guards held him up. Anasi gasped and Gail looked at her.

ADON=T!@ She shouted.
Tears flew down her cheeks as she broke the chains and rushed toward Gail. He smiled at her as the man grabbed a sword and Anasi killed a guard in her way. She turned toward Gail and reached her hand toward him.
AAnasi I love you.A He thought to her.
Her eyes widened as she gasped. The man raised his sword and Gail closed his eyes slowly.
ANO GAIL!!@ She screamed, running toward him as he closed his eyes fully.
The man stabbed him and his eyes widened as he coughed up blood, gasping as the sword went through him. The man and the guards left the room as Gail fell backwards, his eyes closing as a smile appeared on his face.
AAnasi,A he whispered.
She gasped as her eyes widened more, tears flying passed her as she ran toward him. She hit the ground and went to her knees, hugging his upper body to her chest as she cried.
AI=m sorry Gail, I=m so sorry.... so sorry.... sorry,@ she chocked, tears falling on his face.
He smiled and put his hand on her cheek. She held it there and looked at him crying more. He shook his head and smiled a little.
AAnasi don=t cry, please.... I can=t bare it when you cry,A he whispered sadly through the pain.
She shook her head and he hissed as a wave of pain went through him. She gripped him tighter in fear and he stroked her cheek.
@Anasi, I=m happy they got me instead of you. I=m glad you=re safe,A he said, coughing up blood after that.
She smiled sadly and he looked at her as he caressed her cheek more. She put his other hand on her chest and grabbed a necklace out of her pocket, putting it on his chest.
AI=ll save you Gail. I won=t let you die,A she whispered happily, tears falling on his face.
She closed her eyes and made his hand go into her chest as she started coughing up blood. He gasped as his eyes widened and his hand gripped her other hand in fear.
ANo Anasi!@ He shouted as he tried to sit up.
She smiled at him and put her hand on his chest. A star formed on his chest and he hissed as pain went through him. The sword faded away and his wound healed up as he opened his eyes. She smiled at him as her eyes closed.

AI love you Anasi,A he whispered as he smiled, tears down his cheeks.
The men came in and she glared at them. They stopped as her wings came out and they all charged at her. She growled at them and sent them flying into the wall, breaking some bones as she coughed up blood. She stood up and held out her hand as a beam shot out and killed them all. She was done and glanced back at Gail as he looked at her in shock.
She smiled at him and her eyes closed. She fell backwards as she smiled at him.
AI love you too Gail, my love,A she said.
He gasped and his eyes widened as he watched her fall, time seeming to stop for him. He could hear nothing else but his breathing and the sound of his own heart beat.
AANASI!@ He screamed as he rushed toward her.
He caught her in his arms as tears stung his eyes. She was cold and wasn=t breathing, her body limp and cold.
AAnasi wake up! Please, Anasi... wake up! Don=t die on meYyou=re... you're all I have, please don=t GO!!!@ He shouted as he shook her lightly, tears falling down his face.
She didn=t wake up and he put his hand on her cold face as he leaned toward her.
AAnasi I love you and always will... for all eternity my beloved,A he whispered.
He put his mouth gently on hers, tasting her cold lips, missing her warmth. He wished with all his heart she would come back, that this was some messed up joke. He parted from her and held her to him, tears falling on her face. He caressed her face, wishing that this was a nightmare and that he would wake up from it.
But it wasn=t... it was real and she wasn=t coming back to him. He rocked her body in his arms slowly.
In the present Demetri groaned and opened his eyes slowly. It was dark in the room now and he lit a fire from his sword.
ASo that is what happened. The guys who killed his lover were angels, that=s why he hates them,A he said as he got up and looked at the paintings.
Sol got up and had tears in her eyes and Demetri embraced her. She gripped his shirt tightly.
AIt was so sad. I feel sad for Gail, even though he's a demon angel now,A she whispered as she cried on his chest.

Demetri stroked her hair and she calmed down. She looked at him and he smiled.
ALet=s go get Gail and save Selene,A she said smiling.
He nodded and they broke through the wall. Demons, angels and humans were in front of them, swords at their sides.
AWhat now?A Sol asked as she stood back to back with Demetri.
Demetri growled as he gripped his chest and Sol looked at him worried. He was panting hard and Sol tightened her grip on her sword.
AHe=s hurting her.... that bastard is hurting my girl!A he growled angrily.
Sol charged at the men. Demetri snapped and killed all the demons, angel and humans on his side. Sol, gasped and ran after Demetri, but he was too fast for her. She was way behind and tried to catch up with him as she ran harder.
He growled as his wings came out. Hers did as well and she flew after him, embracing him. He stopped as his eyes widened a little and his aura dimmed down a little.
ACalm down Demetri! You won=t be able to save Selene if you=re pissed off. Don't lose your head!@ She pleaded, shaking her head.
He calmed down and sighed as his bangs went over his eyes. She looked at him in worry.
AI know,A he said calmly as memories of Selene rushed through his head and his grip on his sword tightened. AI know,A he said softer.
He grunted and hissed as he gripped his stomach. Demetri=s eyes glowed darker and his aura surrounded him as she gasped.
AHe's is hurting her again! THAT=S IT!@ He shouted, anger taking over as he growled.
He picked up Sol on his back and rushed down the halls, turning left and right. Sol looked at him and gripped his shoulders.
ADo you know where you=re going?!@ She shouted as the wind brushed against her.
A pulse went through Demetri and he grunted as he grabbed his shoulder growling. Sol gasped and wrapped her arms around his neck.
@If that bastard hurts my Selene again, I=ll break every bone in his damn body,A he growled inhuman as his eyes glowed.
Sol looked angry too and kissed his cheek and he gasped as he went back to normal.
ACalm down,A she said gently.

He nodded and ran faster through the halls. Selene screamed as Gail bit into her neck and then almost fainted. Gail withdrew his teeth and she panted.
AWhen I bite you on your stomach and shoulder, it>s to punish you for not obeying me. Now go and get your guards ready!A he said.
She nodded and got up as her wounds started to heal. She turned around and grabbed Pandora=s Box as Gail went to his knees. She smirked at him and he growled at her.
AGail this is punishment, just like when you bit me,A she said and ran off.
Demetri stopped at a door and Sol got off. Their swords glowed and growled as they both smirked. The door opened and they got ready. In front of them was Gail, smirking. Demetri growled angrily and his aura grew.
@GAIL, WHERE THE HELL IS SELENE!@ Demetri shouted, pissed off as his aura went around him more.
Gail grunted as a sword slammed him into the wall. Shin was standing in front of them as Demetri and Sol gasped.
AGo and save Selene, Demetri!@ Shin shouted as he smiled at Demetri.
Demetri nodded and ran into the room and up some stairs panting. Sol helped Shin fight Gail as Gail fought back. Demetri saw Selene in front of twenty guards, her sword out and her bra on.
ASelene!@ Demetri shouted as he ran toward her and took out his sword.
He stopped in front of her and glared at the guards. Selene stopped the lecture, turned toward Demetri and he gasped as his eyes widened. Her face had marks on it and they were glowing, her dragon tattoo was glowing too.
ASelene,A he whispered in a sad and angry tone.
He grunted as he blocked her attack. She kept striking again and again and he kept blocking as he moved back.
ASelene, snap out of it!@ He shouted angrily as he pushed her back.
She caught herself and blocked his attack. He kept attacking and she kept blocking as sparks flew. She pushed him away panting hard as he panted hard too. He held out his sword to the left, it wrapped its straps around his arm tightly as his aura burst from his body.
It was wild, huge, and glowing as his eyes started to glow. The water around the room swirled fast around him as it splashed against them both.

She sighed and held out her sword. It stabbed needles in her arm and she yelped as it wrapped a black aura around her arm, easing the pain. He gasped as her aura turned black, out of control and angry. She growled as her wings came out, black straps on them and the ground broke under her feet as darkness went around the water.
ADemetri, it=s time to end this. I=ll make you understand why I became like this, to save you!@ She shouted and rushed at him.
He gasped and blocked it as he was pushed back. Suddenly black dragons came out of the darkness as he turned around. He cut them away and screamed as Selene=s sword cut into his arm.
@I=m doing this to protect you, so you and I can live peacefully without anything to hurt us! Don=t you understand that!A she shouted angrily as her eyes glowed lightly.
He growled at her as he pushed her back and charged at her. Their swords clashed against each other as sparks flew. They were in a deadlock on the ground and their swords grinded against one another.
ASelene, don=t let the darkness control you. You know this isn=t right! STOP IT!@ He shouted as he attacked her again and again.
She grinned, disappeared and then reappeared behind him. He spun around and blocked her sword as she smiled sadly.
ADemetri you don=t understand, even when I did explain it. I want us to create a better world, with no fighting in it,A she said, putting her hand on his cheek.
He brushed it away and struck the sword out of her hands. She growled at him and then gasped as he pointed the sword at her chest angrily.
ASelene, come back.... come back home, to me... or I=ll kill you with my own hands,A he said, tears in his eyes.
She looked away as he lowered his sword. She smirked and uncovered Pandora=s Box in one move. He gasped and went to his knees in pain, feeling his strength leave his body. She got up as she grabbed her sword and walked back to Demetri.
He growled and grabbed his sword, blocking hers as it hit as he grew weaker by the second. She made her sword disappear and he swung as his eyes widened. She caught it as it disappeared and smirked.
AYou can=t kill me Demetri, you know that,A she said, kneeling in front of him.
He looked away from her as his hands clenched in anger. She embraced him and he pushed her away angrily, knowing what she said was true.

AYou chose darkness. I will kill you if I have to!A he shouted, anger taking over at how Gail was using her.
She smiled as she nodded and took off her necklace, throwing it at his feet. He gasped and looked at her in shock. He couldn=t believe that she threw away the necklace he had given her.
AWith no more ties to remind me of you, I=ll get stronger and come back when I do. Darkness is all I have now,A she said and started to walk away.
He grabbed her arm and she looked at him sadly. He was panting and sweating hard as he tried to fight to stay conscious.
AI will kill you Selene, if it=s the only way to save you, but I=ll look for another way.A he said as he looked at her, almost fainting.
She smiled as she knelt down and kissed him. He gasped as his eyes widened as she closed her eyes.
ASelene, will you ever come back? Come back to your home and to me?@ He thought as he closed his eyes and kissed back.
She parted from him and the darkness disappeared as the water did too. She smiled and ran down the stairs to help Gail. Demetri looked after her and fainted from the blood loss. He was dreaming of the day when he was would get her back from Gail.
An hour passed and Sol found him. She gasped and ran toward him. ADemetri!@ She shouted, helping him to his feet.
He looked sad and angry as his eyes closed a little. Sol looked at him sadly, knowing that Selene had gotten away again.
ASelene... she chose darkness,A he said, tired and sad.
Sol looked at him and they went to an inn. Shin was already there resting and Sol led him to a bed. Sol set Demetri on a bed and he fell asleep as she did too.
ASelene, I=ll save you from the darkness that has you. I swear on my life,A he thought as he fell asleep.


Chapter 8

Powers, Determination and Wills


A year passed after that day and Demetri, Shin, and Sol were walking on a beach. There was a temple on top of a hill that was five miles ahead.
AWe should stop here for the night,A Shin said and sat down.
Sol did too and they started a fire as they ate. Sol shivered as the wind started blowing across them gently. Sol looked at Demetri and he was on a cliff a few feet away as he stared the moon, sword by his side.
AI=m worried about him Shin,A she said in worry.
Shin looked at her sadly and then Demetri as she sighed. Sol fingered a necklace in her hands slowly.
AHe hasn=t been himself since that day. He=s so distant that I can=t reach him anymore,A she said as she curled into a ball and put her head on her knees.
Shin touched her shoulder and she looked at him as he smiled.
AHe=ll be alight. He has gotten a lot stronger. Don=t worry so much about it,A he said smiling warmly.
She looked at Demetri and he had his sword on his shoulder as he clutched it. She smiled and looked at Shin as he smiled back.
AYou=re right, he will,A she said as they both looked at the sky.
They both went to sleep in two hours and Demetri walked up to the temple. He made his sword disappear and stopped, looked at the sky.
ASelene,A he thought.
He looked tormented and continued as he started walking again. Memories of her flashed through his head in a blur.
AWhere is she?@ He thought.
He got to the top and a barrier was around the temple. Demetri touched it and winced as it shocked him. He pulled it back and looked at the barrier as his eyes saddened.
AWe haven=t seen Selene or Gail in a year. What are they planning? But...@ he thought as he looked at the temple and then touched his heart, eyes closed as he smiled a little. @I can feel that she=s still alive,A he said as he opened his eyes.
The temple glowed and the barrier disappeared. Demetri gasped and pulled out his sword as two angels and two demons stepped out. Demetri growled and tightened his grip on his sword angrily.
ADon=t worry. We are not here to fight. We=re here to help you kill Gail and save you girl,A one pair said as they smiled.

Demetri made his sword disappear and walked toward them. The other pair smiled and told him to follow them. They led him to a chamber and there was a sword on an altar. One side gold and the other black and he looked at the as two pairs as they beckoned him to take it.
He walked up to the sword and grabbed it. It started glowing gold and he gasped as golden dust whirled around him. His eyes widened and looked at his clothes. He had a gold cape, black shoulder pads, black chest plate, red shirt with gold on the edges, black pants, and black shoes. He turned toward the angels and demons as one angel held out her hand smiling.
ACome here Demetri. We=ll teach you how to use the sword named Bliss,A she said.
They all smiled and Demetri did as well. She held out her hand and she led him to a chamber. The room was gold and had crystals in it, mirrors for walls and Music played. She pulled out her sword and he held his sword as her demon lover came beside her.
Her sword glowed and the demons did too. Demetri=s glowed brighter as he gasped. He looked at them and they looked back.
AThe swords you hold in your hands were made in heaven and in hell. The one on the right is called Calamity and the other Bliss,A she said.
Demetri looked at his swords and thought if Shin had known about this. The angel smiled and Demetri looked at her again.
AShin didn=t know about the sword=s partner, Bliss,A she said.
Calamity growled happily and Bliss did as well. The angel and demon looked at the sword and Demetri did too.
ADemetri join Calamity and Bliss together,A the demon said.
Demetri did and the sword merged together as an engraving appeared on both sides. It started to glow gold and an aura appeared around it. The couple smirked and charged at Demetri, he gasped and held it up.
He blocked their attacks and thrust them back, gasping as a black and a yellow strap went around his arm. They merged and formed gold and it started glowing faintly as dust fell around it.
ACome at us Demetri!A she said and charged at him.
He smirked and their swords clashed. He gasped as a golden chain came out of the hilt and wrapped around her. She yelped as it squeezed her tightly and told him how to release the chain=s hold. He put his hand on the chain and his eyes slanted.
ABreak and dispel,A he said.

The chain released itself and went around Demetri=s shoulder, resting there. The demon threw fifteenth knives at Demetri. He gasped and held up his sword with the hilt up. A barrier was in front of him and then went down after the knives dropped to the ground.
The angel smiled in her lover=s arms and he smiled back. Demetri smiled and his sword went into an emerald jewel, going into his wrist.
AYou=ll have to learn the other powers on your own Demetri,A she said.
Demetri nodded and saw Sol and Shin in the room smiling as he smiled back.
AStay the night with us,A the demon said as he lifted the angel up in his arms..
Shin, Sol, and Demetri nodded as they watched them leave. They went to their rooms and Demetri laid on the bed as he looked around. He stared at the moon as he thought of Selene and sat up. There was a knock at the door and the angel who had trained him came in, wearing a nightgown.
AI have a way for you to hear Selene talk about you,A she said.
He sat up and his eyes widened in shock. She pulled out a ruby necklace and put it around his neck.
AYou=ll be able to hear and see what she is doing, only for tonight though,A she said and walked out, closing the door.
Demetri smiled and laid back down, closing his eyes and sighed. He gasped as he saw Selene, wearing a blue nightgown as she sat by the window. He smiled as he saw her look at the direction he was in. She turned toward the door and saw Gail.
She smiled as he smiled back and walked toward her. Demetri growled as Gail put his hands on her shoulders.
ADon=t ever touch her!@ He growled angrily.
Sol came in with a worried look on her face as Shin stood behind her. Gail left the room when he saw how sad she was. Demetri=s heart broke seeing her sad and she looked out the window. She smiled as she put her hand to her chest.
ADemetri, I wish you could hear me,A she whispered, closing her eyes as she smiled.
She started singing softly and he smiled as sighed. He wished he was holding her in his arms, tasting her lips, feeling her body against his. She heard the door open and saw Gail. She continued singing as he smiled and watched her, she glared at him.
Demetri was already asleep, dreaming of Selene. She went to sleep too as Gail watched her.

AShe=s mine Gail, I will get her back!@ Demetri growled in his thoughts.
Sol and the king went to bed, everyone else did too, soon the necklace=s power faded away and dawn hit. The king, Sol and Demetri were traveling again as soon as they woke, saying goodbye to the angels and demons who helped them.
AWe should hurry up and stop Gail, I have a bad feeling,A Shin said as he gripped his sword tightly.
Demetri and Sol nodded in agreement and they reached a city. It was normal as they looked around, Selene hadn=t been here yet. A girl was in the middle of a crowd as Demetri and Sole looked at them.
ACome here girl, I want to have you all to myself,A he said, touching her shoulder.
She growled angrily as her eyes and aura glowed. Demetri gasped and grabbed Sol as Shin got out of the way.
ADon=t touch me scum!@ the woman shouted as she swung her sword.
The crowd died as blood splattered everywhere. Demetri gasped and his eyes widened as Sol=s did too. The woman now wore a black bra, her hair black and a sword with blood on it in her hand.
ASe... Selene!@ Demetri shouted as she ran toward her.
She growled, flicked her sword and spun around. He gasped and pulled out his sword, blocking hers as sparks flew.
ASelene, Stop this!@ He shouted as he pleaded angrily.
She forced her sword down and Demetri growled as he tightened his grip. He growled and pushed her back and she glared at him with hazy eyes. She went back, catching herself and blocked his attack in one move. She smirked as sparks flew passed her face.
He gasped and his eyes widened as darkness went around them both. She started to apply more force to her sword, pushing him back slowly.
ADemetri, don=t stop me.... this is my last city, then I=ll rule my own kingdom,A she said, holding him back with one hand.
He grunted as he went back and glanced at his hilt. He touched the hilt and a chain wrapped around her, she gasped as her eyes widened. It tightened and she yelped as she tried to break free. He gasped as he saw a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
ASelene I know you=re still in there! Answer me!@ He shouted as he started pushing down on her blade.

She looked at him and growled as her wings came out. His wings came out and golden dust went around him as black went around her.
ADemetri!@ She thought to him, her mind still hers.
They clashed several times as Demetri jumped in the air and blocked her attack. She flew at him and he flew at her as they both raised their swords.
ASelene! Come on, your stronger than this!@ He shouted, blocking and striking her sword attacks as fifteen came at him at once.
ADemetri!A she thought to him, her voice faint and tired.
Demetri screamed as he got hit five times in his body. He went to one knee as he panted hard and one eye open in pain.
ASelene tryY. you can do this,A he said as he gripped his chest.
She raised her sword and he blocked her attack, grunting as the pain hit him. A pulse went through him and he screamed as he gripped his arm. His clothes changed and he forced her back as he panted more. She grunted and held her sword in front of her.
ASelene if you won=t come back willingly, then I=ll have to bring you back by force!@ He shouted and then charged at her.
Selene smirked and pulled out another sword. It was red with flames around it and Demetri struck. Dust rose, settled and he gasped as he saw her merged sword. It was long, hilt in the middle, two tips at each end, and coated with a glowing blackness.
She smirked and pushed him away. He stumbled back and caught himself, glaring at her.
AI haven=t been sitting on my butt for a year y=know,A she said, smirking more as her wings came out.
She closed her eyes and her sword glowed white as she passed her hand over it to change it. It turned silver and black, flames and lightning around it as it started glowing a faint red. It was skinny, then got wider at the other end, looking like a scythe, glowing black, faintly. She swirled it around and pulled it apart, looking the same on both swords.
AThe sword of the underworld and the other of a sacred mountain,A she said, joining them again.
It now looked like a regular sword as lightning formed around it. It was spiked a little as the black and gold mixed with the red. Demetri growled and charged at her as he pulled his chain out. His chain went at her and he threw daggers at her.

She sighed and disappeared as his eyes widened. He gasped as his chain went around and then behind him. She smirked and a black chain came out of her sword, striking the other.
Their swords clashed as Demetri=s wings came out. Her aura got darker and his got bigger as dust swirled around them. A black flame went around them from her sword and got closer with each strike. They both jumped in the air as their swords clashed five times and then landed away from each other.
Demetri gasped as she held her hand out. A black flame shot out of her hand and was coming at him. He held his sword up in front of him and split it, grunting as he hit the ground. She landed in front of him and the ground turned to flowers as Demetri stood up.
Their swords clashed again and Selene smirked as she pressed her sword against his harder.
APlease, Selene come back with me!A he pleaded.
She shook her head and cut away his sword. It didn=t go and cut into her shoulder. She screamed and landed on the ground.
ADemetri,A she said, her voice filled with pain.
He pointed his sword at her chest. She looked at him as he looked at her with sadness in his eyes. He knelt down next to her as he reached for her shoulder and was going to heal it. She smirked as her eyes turned hazy as he gasped.
He screamed as she stabbed him in his stomach. He fell on his back and gripped his wound as his teeth clenched.
ADon=t worry my love. I won=t kill you,A she whispered as she touched his face.
He stabbed her arm and smirked. She gritted her teeth and punched him in his stomach. He gasped and rolled on his side in pain as she stood up. Her power faded and Gail appeared beside her.
Demetri looked at him and gasped as his eyes shook. Shin was in front of Gail and Sol was half dead, leaning against him.
ASOL!@ Demetri shouted as he rushed toward her.
Gail made Selene faint and Demetri jumped after them. He had to reach her before they disappeared, had to save her.
ASELENE!!@ He shouted, brushing her fingers with his.
He fell to the ground and almost fainted from lack of blood. Gail smirked and disappeared with Selene.

ASelene, no,A he whispered as he reached for her on the ground and then fainted from lack of blood.
Two hours passed and Demetri woke up and glanced around.
AYou two are finally awake,A someone said as he heard footsteps.
It was the angel and demon who had trained him. Sol looked sadly at them and Demetri looked away as his hands clenched angrily.
AYour king is okay, but he=s in a coma,A she said.
They sighed and nodded tiredly from loss of blood. The angel and demon helped them sit up and looked at them. Demetri remembered his fight with Selene, closing his eyes as his teeth clenched.
AI=m sorry about Selene. Her sword is stronger than yours, she=s stronger than you are,A the demon said as he patched up his wound.
Sol looked at Demetri and saw his eyes were tormented and hollow. Sol didn't know how to comfort him, knowing he had failed to bring Selene back again.
ADemetri,A she thought sadly.
The angel brought in some water and they drank some of it. The angels left to rest and the demons stayed. Demetri=s hand clenched on the blankets, anger in his eyes as Sol looked at him.
AI couldn=t save her, even with more power. She was right, I am weak. I failed to bring her back again!A he said, torn and angry as he shook.
Sol got out of bed and sat by him. He looked at her and she put her hand on his shoulder.
AShe=s not herself Demetri. The Selene we know is not like that, we can get her back,A she said as she smiled.
Demetri smiled at her and nodded as she sighed.
AWe=ll leave in the morning,A he said and the angels and demons smiled.
Two hours passed and Demetri woke up. It was midnight and the moon was shining into the room.
ASelene I will get you back. I have to,A he thought as he gripped the necklace she gave him.


Chapter 9

Plan and Death


Two years passed and Sol and Demetri hadn=t changed. They were still nineteen, wearing tan jackets and black pants, with white shirts. They were in a city and then it changed to a forest suddenly. They pulled out their swords and glanced around.
AIs this because of Gail?@ Sol asked, back to back with Demetri. Five guys appeared and charged at them, a woman was behind them all, wearing a mask and cape. Demetri pulled out his sword and clashed swords with the men, Sol did as well. The men chuckled and jumped in the air, Demetri and Sol followed. Their swords clashed again and again, sparks flying, Demetri killed three, Sol killed five.
AEnough!A the person with the helmet said, sword in hand.
She walked passed the men and toward us, taking off her helmet. Demetri gasped as his eyes widened, it was Selene, smirking. Demetri took a step toward her and Sol tried to pull him back to her, he brushed her hand off of him.
AIt=s been a long time Demetri,A she said, her sword glowing, Demerit=s and Sol=s were too.
She made her sword disappear and Demetri looked at her, confused. Sol didn't lower her guard and Demetri didn't either, eyes both glowing dimly.
AI didn=t come here to fight,A she said.
Sol didn=t make her sword disappear and Demetri didn=t either. Selene sighed walked in front of him, smiling a little. The memory flashed through his head, his eyes softened. Sol gasped as Selene touched his chest as tears appeared in her eyes.
AI miss you and the time we shared, but...@ she stopped, thinking and pulled her hand away.
Gail appeared behind the men, arms crossed, she looked at him sadly. Demetri growled and put Selene behind him, Sol stood beside Demetri as his anger boiled.
ASelene I told you to prepare for the angels and I find you with your lover!A Gail growled angrily. Selene pulled out her sword, glowing, Gail smirked and pulled out a necklace.
AKill him, kill DemetriA he whispered, the necklace glowed and Demetri gasped as his eyes widened.
Selene smirked and stabbed his arm, Gail got angry that she didn=t kill Demetri. Selene jumped beside Gail, sword at her side.
AI can=t kill him Gail, I love him,A she said.

He put the necklace away and she looked at him. She gasped as he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her, she closed her eyes and kissed back, darkness controlling again. Demetri growled and changed clothes, rushing at him as he raised his sword.
ADON=T YOU DARE TOUCH HER WITH YOUR FITHY HANDS!@ Demetri shouted, cutting into his shoulder.
Gail screamed and jumped back, Selene in his grasp as her aura turned dark. Demetri rushed at them again as Gail gasped. Demetri swung and gasped as he hit a barrier and stared in shock. Selene held her hand out, creating the barrier as she looked at him angrily.
Demetri grunted as he was thrown back, skidding to a stop. Selene put her hand down and panted.
ASeleneYwhy?@ Demetri asked as he clutched his sword, pain in his eyes.
She got out of Gail=s grasp and looked at Demetri. Sol was behind Gail and pulled out her sword as Demetri continued to look at Selene in shock.
@I have to do this.... to have his powers Demetri, A she said as her eyes went hazy.
Sol raised her sword and swung as Gail spun around and blocked it with his arms. Sol gasped as she was thrown back, hitting a wall and then coughed up blood.
ASOL!@ Demetri shouted as he rushed toward her.
Selene blocked his path as her outfit changed. They clashed swords and aura, darkness and gold dust swirling around them. Demetri jumped back as his sword glowed brighter. Selene growled and jumped after him, as her sword glowed brighter too.
They clashed swords several times, landed, rushed at each other and clashed again. Their aura exploded as they collided.
@Selene!@ Demetri shouted, blocking her sword attacks as fast as he could.
Selene jumped in the air and combined her sword with another. It started to glow red and blue as she smirked. Demetri growled and combined his sword with two more as he landed. It started to glow a light blue and gold as he growled angrily.
ADemetri!@ She shouted as she rushed at him from the air.
Demetri=s wings came out and he flew up fast, memories of Selene flashing through his head. He closed his eyes in pain and opened them to look at her.
ASELENE!@ He shouted.

They disappeared at the same time and reappeared. Their blades clashed again, sparks flew as their aura grew bigger. Demetri was forced back by Selene, grunting as he caught himself.
ASelene, remember me, please!@ He shouted, pleading as they clashed blades five times fast.
He forced Selene back with his sword, anger and sadness in his eyes. She glared at him and he summoned two clones. She growled angrily as her body began to glow a bright blue and rushed at him.
Demetri growled and a pulse went through him. He looked at his sword and it glowed lightly.
ALet us take over your body, her sword has control of her,A it said.
Demetri shook his head and rushed at her as he spun his sword. His body started to glow yellow as his sword started glow as well. They collided and their sword clashed as the pressure rose from the impact.
Demetri screamed as the force cut him a lot. He flew into the ground coughing up blood and then looked at Selene.
ALet us take control or you will die here! We=ll stop her!A his sword said angrily.
Selene growled at him as he saddened then looked at his sword.
AAlright, just don=t kill her,A he thought.
The sword growled and he closed his eyes sighing. The sword=s straps went around his legs and arms and his back as his eyes snapped open, glowing blue and gold.
AWe=ll let you make the moves. We=re just giving you power, but if you faint, the we=ll take control,A his sword said.
Demetri nodded and flew at Selene as she flew at him too. Demetri=s and her sword clashed, the force unbearable to keep up. He gasped in pain and thrust her back, she growled and rushed at him again.
ANo! I can=t dodge or block it in time!A he thought as gasped, eyes wide.
Selene disappeared and Demetri gasped as he looked around.
AWhere?@ He thought as he looked around.
He looked down and saw Selene flying up at him, her body blurring. He screamed loudly as her sword slashed upwards, cutting into his chest. He fell to the ground as he gripped his wound.
ASelene come back,A he said as she landed in front of him.
She smiled sadly at him and raised her sword. He gasped and raised his sword.

AI can=t,A she said and swung.
He blacked out and his sword=s spirit took over, blocking her attack.
AWhy use her Armageddon?A Calamity asked, smirking as it thrust Selene back.
She screamed at the force and hit a tree, then blacked out. Her sword took over. Selene stood up and glared at Demetri, being controlled by her sword.
AHer heart is full of darkness now. There=s no turning back for her!@ Armageddon shouted as she rushed at Calamity.
Calamity blocked Armageddon=s attack fast as Armageddon growled angrily.
AAre you controlling her body and soul? Or are you the darkness that has taken her over?!@ Calamity shouted, pushing Selene back.
Armageddon hit a tree and made Selene catch herself as Calamity looked at Armageddon angrily.
ANo, the darkness that has this girl is her own. Her own darkness that has taken her over,A Armageddon said calmly and rushed at Calamity.
Calamity screamed as Demetri got stabbed in his chest, coughing up blood. Demetri looked at Selene as blood trickled down his chin.
AWhy is she doing this? Turning evil and letting darkness take her over?@ Calamity asked as he got up and disappeared.
He reappeared behind Selene and stabbed her in the chest. Armageddon screamed and spun around, swinging his sword. Calamity blocked it, ducked and stabbed Selene in her stomach. Armageddon screamed and Selene fell to the ground.
Armageddon looked at Calamity and growled, clutching her wounds as she hissed in pain.
AShe wants power to protect Demetri. She keeps saying that, but deep down she wants to kill,A he answers..
Calamity growled and charged at Armageddon, sword out. Armageddon gasped as Calamity nailed him into a tree, a sword in Selene=s chest. He looked at Calamity and smiled as Calamity growled in anger.
Calamity yanked the sword out and Armageddon went away as Selene took control of her body, her power fading.
AI won=t kill you because Demetri told me too,A Calamity said and faded away, letting Demetri take control again.
ADemetri,A she said, coughing up blood as she gripped her wound.
Demetri went to his knees and then looked at her panting.

ASelene,A he said smiling.
Gail appeared and yanked Selene up by her hair. She yelped and Demetri slashed at him with his sword in hand.
AYou are of no use to me any longer Selene,A he growled and made her faint, stabbing her in the stomach.
Demetri gasped and saw Sol in a bloody mess. Shin was healing her as Demetri growled and charged at Gail. Gail hit him and took out his sword, Demetri blocked it as he grunted at the impact.
Shin gasped and Demetri stabbed Gail in the chest. Gail screamed and swiped at him with his hand, Demetri charged at him, then slashed as Gail disappeared, getting cut in the process. Demetri=s sword hit the ground as he growled angry.
ASelene!A he growled in anger and worry.
Shin walked toward Demetri and he fainted as Shin caught him. He healed Sol and Demetri and then started a fire as he looked at the sky.
ADemetri is the only one who can save Selene,A he thought and looked at him.
Meanwhile Gail had Selene in his arms, still unconscious. He looked at her and walked into a room.
AWelcome back Gail,A a girl greeted as she smiled.
Gail nodded and put Selene=s body in a chair type machine, laying down. He took off her clothes, leaving her bra and underwear on and putting tubes into her. She grimaced in her sleeping form as the tubes took her blood, putting it into another machine, then to another room higher up. Gail brushed some hair out of her face and kissed her, then parted as he watched the machine.
AIn two days, it=ll be ready and I can use her power and finish her off,A he thought as he smiled evilly.
Demetri woke up at midnight and Shin looked at him smiling.
AYou=re finally awake, I found something out,A Shin told him. Demetri sat up and looked at Shin as Sol woke up as well. Sol sat up too and looked at Shin.
AI know what Gail=s plan is. I put a reader on him before he fled,A Shin explained and then looked at the fire.
Demetri thought of Selene and his hands and teeth clenched. Sol looked at him and then at Shin as he looked at the fire. Demetri didn=t look at Shin, still angry at himself.

AGail told Selene that darkness was the only way to get stronger and save Demetri. She made the choice before he told her that, now that she=s completely evil, he=s going to take her powers and kill her,A Shin told them.
Demetri snapped and stood up as his aura started to grow. Sol and Shin looked at him, worry on their faces as Demetri growled.
AWHAT!@ Demetri shouted angrily.
Demetri grabbed Shin=s collar and slammed his into a tree as Sol gasped. Demetri=s eyes glowed in fury and Sol stood up. Shin was calm as he looked at Demetri, his eyes sad a little
AWHY DIDN=T YOU TELL ME SOONER?! WHEN IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?!@ Demetri shouted, pissed off.
Shin got Demetri off of him and was still calm. Demetri growled in anger as Sol held him back from attacking shin again.
ATwo days from now,A he said as he looked at Sol.
Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped and Sol=s eyes widened too in shock. Shin continued to look at them as the fire crackled.
"No," Sol whispered in sadness.
Demetri got angry again, narrowed his eyes and ran off. Sol turned around and stared after him sadly. Shin stared after him and knew he needed to deal with this on his own.
ADemetri wait!@ She shouted as she started to go after him.
Shin grabbed her shoulder and she looked at him as he shook his head. Sol was trembling slightly, knowing they wouldn=t be able to save her.
AHe needs some time. There is no way we can save her in time,A Shin said and he closed his eyes.
Sol cried on Shin=s chest and he embraced her tightly, trying to comfort her.
ASol,A he whispered sadly.
Demetri was still running and then stopped as he went to his knees next to a river.
ASelene no,A he thought as his hands and teeth clenched.
He hit a tree and it rumbled as leaves and branches fell to the ground slowly. Demetri closed his eyes and shook his head from side to side.
ANo, this can=t be happening,A he whispered, tears in his eyes. "I can't lose her...not like this. Not to Gail."
Tears fell on the ground as he cried, his vision getting blurry as it started to rain softly.

ASelene... I will try to save you. I swore the day you left that I would. I can=t lose you, not now,A he whispered, clawing at the ground.
An hour passed as he stood up and started walking back to the camp. Sol stood up and walked toward him sadly as Shin looked at him.
AI=ll save her, I have to. I couldn=t bare life without her by my side,A he thought.
Sol smiled and embraced him as he embraced her back. Shin smiled and they looked at him.
ALet=s get going,A he said.
A day passed and Gail lifted Selene=s body up. She was still sleeping and he smiled as he walked up the stairs.
AI=ll have enough power to kill the angels for killing you, my Anasi,A he thought as he looked at Selene.
He went into another chamber and shut the door. The room was red with engravings around it and Pandora=s Box was in the middle. He laid her by it and she moaned a little as he smiled and stood up. He went walked out of the room, closing the door and his servant was standing there.
AMaster if you only needed her powers, why did you get Pandora=s box?@ The girl asked as she looked at him.
He smirked and looked at her as he opened the door to downstairs.
ATo kill her so she won=t be a threat to me. Pandora=s Box weakens demons and gives power to angels. It=s going to kill her and destroy her soul so she can=t come back,A he said.
Demetri and Sol ran farther ahead of Shin. Their swords started glowing brightly as they ran faster. Shin looked at his own sword and it glowed dimly and he smiled.
AWe=re close, I can feel her,@ Demetri said and ran faster. Sol gasped as he disappeared in a blur.
Shin grabbed Sol and went after Demetri. Sol looked at him in confusion and he focused up ahead.
AGail wants Demetri alone, to see his lover's death and be like him,A he said and sped up.
Selene woke up and looked around in a daze. She was in a chamber and saw her sword was in her arm. She gasped as the pain got to her and gripped her arm.
ASo, you=re finally awake. Do you want to get stronger?@ Gail asked, kneeling in front of her.

He put his hand out and smiled at her as she looked at him. She squinted against the pain and nodded, grabbing his hand as he helped her up.
AThe pain will pass,A he said as she stood up.
Her wings came out and she gasped as straps wrapped around her legs and arms.
AIt=s alright. I need you to use your true power to its max and then open Pandora=s box,A he said, arms crossed and eyes closed.
She nodded and pulled her sword out. She clenched her teeth against the pain of going to full power caused as her eyes went hazy. Her outfit changed and her aura started to glow brighter.
Demetri gasped as a pulse went through him and Sol and Shin looked at him.
AHer power is growing,A Demetri said and sped up as he saw the castle.
Sol looked at Shin and Shin looked worried as he grabbed her, speeding up.
ASo it=s begun,A he growled angrily.
Demetri broke through the door and raced up the stairs. He pulled his sword out and Shin did as well. Selene put her sword in front of her and closed her eyes as she sighed.
Her body glowed red and went to the tip of her sword. It pulsed and she gripped her arm tighter as the power transferred back to her, pulsing through her body more. She finished getting her swords power into her body and went to Pandora=s Box. She opened it and wires came out of the ceiling and went into Selene.
She screamed as she went to her knees as the wires took her blood. Demetri heard her scream and rushed up the stairs faster, eyes glowing as his wings came out. Shin gasped at his speed and followed as Sol looked at him in worry.
ADemetri can=t go in the room, or it will weaken and kill him,A Shin thought as he flew faster.
Gail appeared by Selene and eased the pain as she smiled at him. He smiled back and glanced at the door as he felt Demetri. Demetri made it to the top of the stairs and saw two double doors, engravings on them. He growled as Shin and Sol landed beside him.
AThe door has a barrier around it,A Demetri growled as he pulled out his sword and pointed it at the door.
Sol gasped and Shin smiled as Demetri closed his eyes in concentration.

AHe=s learned this technique already, I=m amazed,A Shin thought as his eyes widened.
His body and his sword glowed as power went to the tip and recoiled back to Demetri=s body. He clenched his teeth at the pain as his eyes shut tightly.
ASelene, I=m coming!A he thought.
Selene nodded and went to one knee as she put her hands on the box. Gail backed away and put a barrier around him to prevent his soul from being taken.
AI want more power!@ She thought and unlatched the box.
Demetri was still concentrating as Shin and Sol watched. The door began to glow a bright blue and so did Demetri=s sword. Sol gasped and Shin growled as he took a step toward the door. Selene stood up as a gold light burst from the case.
She shielded her eyes as blue, glowing, white orbs flew in the air. She gasped as they circled the air and the wires went at her. She gasped when she was lifted into the air and her body began to glow red.
Demetri=s eyes snapped open and a red beam shot from his sword, blowing the doors open. He rushed inside as Shin gasped and ran after him in worry. Selene screamed as the air shocked her and her eyes widened. Demetri came in the room and saw the orbs flying at her.
ASELENE!@ Demetri shouted as he jumped at her.
Shin went in front of him and tackled him to the ground. Demetri pushed him away and Sol grabbed him from behind.
AThere=s nothing you can do! It=s already started. She=ll die and if you get in the orbs path you=ll die too!@ Shin shouted.
Demetri growled and pushed him away as he looked sadly at Selene. She screamed as the orbs went through her body. They went around her and went through her one more time as she gasped. She clutched her body as a white orb came out of her slowly and she screamed louder.
The orbs went through her again and electricity went around the room. Demetri couldn=t take it anymore and pushed Shin away with all he had.
ASELENE!@ Demetri screamed as he jumped up to her. She saw him and reached for him and he reached for her, his eyes fearful.
She gasped and her eyes widened as a pulse went through her. She fainted and her soul slipped out of her. Demetri gasped and tried to catch it but couldn=t as it went through his hand. His eyes widened as Gail appeared and he stabbed it the orb.

Selene gasped and her soul disappeared in gold sparks as it went in the air. Gail smirked and threw his sword at Selene. Demetri gasped as his hand slipped from hers and saw the sword.
The sword rushed at her as electricity and a green aura was going around it. Demetri tried to grab it, but it was too fast as he watched in slow motion.
ASELENE!!@ He screamed as the sword stabbed her heart.
Her eyes widened and Gail smirked in triumph. Demetri gasped as his eyes widened in fear as he watched. Selene coughed up blood and her necklace Demetri had given her slipped off her neck. Time seemed to stop for Demetri, all he could hear was his own heart beat as he fell to the ground feet first in shock.
Sol and Shin glared at Gail and rushed at him. Gail fought them, smirking as they tried to kill him, their blows not even hitting him. The necklace landed in front of Demetri and he looked at it still in shock. Selene coughed up blood more and a pulse went through her as Demetri looked up at her.
Gail smirked as he made Sol faint and Shin caught her. Gail held out his hand to his sword and growled angrily at them both. Selene coughed as the sword came out of her heart. The wires came out of her and she fell as her eyes began slowly closing. Gail caught his sword and looked at them all.
AYou're too late and now nobody can stop me!A Gail said and disappeared as Shin swung his sword at him, hitting the ground.
ASELENE!@ Demetri shouted, eyes wide and jumped in the air.
Sol was unconscious and Shin was healing her, but it was a slow process. Demetri caught Selene=s falling body and landed on the ground, holding her body in his arms.
ASelene, wake up! Please wake up, WAKE UP!@ He shouted as he put his hand on here cheek scared, she didn=t move. ASelene!@ He shouted, panic in his voice.
She moaned a little and opened her eyes slowly as he gasped. She was dizzy and her vision hazy.
ADemetri, is that you?@ She asked.
He smiled and nodded, caressing her face as blood went on his hands and body.
AYeah. I=m here my Selene,A he said sadly.
She smiled and touched his cheek as he held her hand there. She coughed up blood and sighed.

AI love you Demetri,A she whispered as her eyes began to close slowly.
He gasped as he gripped her tighter and she leaned up. His eyes widened as she kissed him. He kissed back and the parted as he looked at her.
AI love you too Selene,A he whispered, tears falling down his face and onto hers.
She smiled and her body went limp. He gasped and his eyes widened. ASelene... no... no. Don=t you leave me Selene! Please... no... Selene!@ He shouted as his panic and fear began to show.
Her eyes closed and a tear came out of her eyes. Her body got cold and limp, Demetri looked at her body in shock.
Shin was behind him and Sol was in his arms. Demetri gripped Selene=s body to his tightly, crying on her shoulder.
ASELENE!!!@ He screamed, raising his head in the air as her hand fell from his cheek to the ground.
Shin touched Demetri=s shoulder and the castle started to collapse on them. Demetri didn=t even notice he was there.
ADemetri come on, we have to go,A Shin said.
Demetri shook his head, his voice hollow as he spoke and his eyes tormented.
AI=m not going. I=m dying with her, just go,A he said.
Shin growled as he turned Demetri around and punched him. Demetri went to the ground as blood trickled down his chin. Sol gasped at what the Shin had just done.
ADon=t be stupid!" he shouted angrily. "You need to live... don=t you want to kill Gail for killing Selene!@
Demetri got angry and looked at Shin. Shin smirked when he realized he had finally knocked some sense into Demetri for once.
AI do, more than anything!@ Demetri said, as he looked at Selene's body.
Demetri grabbed her body in his arms and the necklace. He looked at the necklace in sorrow and rushed out of the castle before it fell on them all.
AI swear I=ll kill Gail with my own hands! I promise Selene,A he growled as he looked at her body.


Chapter 10

War and Surprises


Three years had passed and Demetri had not found Gail. He seemed to have disappeared from this world when the castle collapsed in. He was still with Sol and Shin as they searched. Shin was now the former king of the underworld who was overthrown a year ago. Since then he has been traveling with Sol and Demetri.
Demetri=s hair had grown to his back, he wore a black shirt, black pants and a black vest, sword at his side. They were in a forest as they passed under a waterfall and into a cave. Sol looked at Shin smiling and he smiled back.
AWe=ll rest here for the night,A Demetri said and started a fire.
Sol looked at him and Shin sat down. Demetri started eating and Sol looked at him.
AIt=s been three years and we still haven=t found Gail, maybe he is really dead,A Sol said as she started eating.
Demetri didn=t answer as he looked out of the cave. Shin smiled and sat against the wall as Sol looked at him.
ADo you think he=s really dead Demetri?@ Shin asked with one eye open looking at Demetri.
Demetri closed his eyes as he sighed and Sol smiled when he did. Demetri had been lifeless and had shown no emotion since Selene=s death.
AHe=s not dead, even though I can=t feel or hear him any longer. He wouldn=t be killed so easily before his plan was complete,A he said in a low and calm voice.
Sol smiled and had thought he had given up hope the day Selene had died, hearing his voice calmed and reassured her somewhat. Shin smiled to and fell asleep. Sol fell asleep too as night fell on them slowly. Demetri stood up and walked out of the cave and waterfall thinking.
AGail where are you?@ He wondered as he stopped and stared at the sky.
A lunar rainbow appeared and he smiled, remembering Selene and himself used to watch them together. He put his hand over his heart and closed his eyes sighing.
ASelene I miss you so much,A he thought sadly.
He had tried to visit her grave every year on the day she died, of whenever he missed her, but he couldn=t bring himself to go. He couldn=t visit her anymore, because he still felt guilty about her death. He felt that he let her die, that he didn=t try to protect her at all. He heard a snap of a twig and spun around sword out. It was a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

AHelp,A she whispered and fainted.
He caught her and took her to the cave. She was bloody and had a wound in her chest and stomach as he tried to heal her. He set her by the fire and Sol woke up.
AWho is that?@ She asked, walking toward the girl.
Demetri shook his head and looked at the girl. Shin looked at the girl and then at Demetri as Sol started to heal her. He saw the torment and pain in his eyes and how he tried to hide it on his face as well.
ADemetri you still feel responsible for Selene=s death, don=t you?@ Sol asked sadly.
He looked away as his eyes narrowed and his teeth clenched tightly. He had tried to avoid this conversation for so long, he couldn=t take the pain it brought. Losing Selene had almost cost him his own life, he didn't feel anything anymore.
Shin looked at Demetri and then looked at the girl. Sol pressed the question. Shin knew Demetri was going to snap if Sol kept pressing.
"You still miss her don't you? You still blame yourself for what happened to her!?" she said as she grabbed his arm.
Demetri glared at her and stood up angrily. She looked up at him and had a look of worry on her face.
AI don=t want to speak of it!@ He growled angrily.
Sol sighed as she stood up and embraced him. He pushed her away, knowing what she was doing full well.
APlease just answer me Demetri!@ She shouted.
He snapped and slammed her into a wall. She yelped and looked at him as Shin stood up. Demetri had a look of anger on his face as he spoke.
AI said I don=t want to talk about it! Her death has brought me nothing but pain and regret. Leave my open wounds alone!@ He shouted.
He let her go got and walked out of the cave. The little girl woke up and saw Demetri leave.
AShe=s awake Demetri!@ Sol shouted at him as he continued to walk away.
The girl sat up and looked sad as Sol was about to go after him. Shin put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head as he looked at her.
ALeave him be for a while Sol, he needs it" he said and she nodded.
ASo my sister is gone,A the little girl whispered sadly, tears in her eyes.
Sol gasped and Shin did too as the girl looked at them. The girl smiled a little and looked at her feet.

ASelene was my sister, not by blood, but by bond. She turned evil and died, I know that now,A the girl said crying.
Sol embraced the little girl and she clung to Sol. An hour passed and she was done crying. Sol and Shin smiled and she did too.
AI can help Demetri kill Gail. I=m going to die in an hour because of my illness and I=ll make him a demon angel,A she said.
Sol gasped and ran out of the cave to find Demetri. Shin helped the girl up, put her on his back, and ran after Sol. Demetri was by a river and the reflection of the moon shown in the water.
ASelene,A he thought sadly.
An image of Selene was shown in the water and he got angry. He raised his hand and growled.
ALeave me alone!@ He shouted.
He swiped the water and the image disappeared. He sat down and leaned against the tree, bangs over his eyes as his teeth and eyes clenched tightly.
Sol and Shin continued running. Sol could sense him and ran faster.
APlease hurry,A the girl said.
Shin nodded and ran faster as the girl=s breathing got shallow. Demetri growled as he remembered Selene and how she was with him before she turned evil.
AI lost everything the day she died. The happy part of me died along with her, all that=s left is sadness and hurt. I=m hollow inside,A he whispered growling as he clawed at the ground.
Sol and Shin saw him and rushed toward him as the girl got weaker by each passing minute.
ADemetri!@ Sol shouted.
Demetri looked at her, and then the little girl as he stood up. Shin let the little girl down and she looked at him. Demetri grabbed her hand, kneeling in front of her.
ADemetri I can make you into a demon angel, so you can kill GailA she said.
He nodded as she put her hand on his heart and her head against his, eyes closed. The girl=s body began to glow an orange, red and he clenched his teeth in pain. Her skin was burning as it touched his.
APlease get revenge for my sister=s death,A she pleaded and melted into his skin.

He screamed as her body melted onto his. He felt on his back, tossing and turning as the pain increased. His eyes widened as he clutched his body with his hands. A huge white light enveloped him suddenly as he screamed.
Sol and Shin shielded their eyes and body as the impact hit. The dust disappeared and Demetri had two metal arm and leg bands, white angel wings with blue veins and purple marks on his cheeks. His eyes were amber and his sword was white and skeletal, glowing a red-orange color dimly.
ADemetri!@ Sol and Shin said shocked as their voices shook.
Demetri looked at himself in the water and smirked. His eyes widened and Sol looked at him in confusion.
AWhat the...?@ He whispered shocked.
He looked at his hands and then at Sol, her eyes were wide and Shin smiled. Demetri smirked and nodded at them.
ALet=s go,A Demetri said.
Shin nodded and Demetri put on a black shoulder pads and a tan strap on his back. Sol followed them close behind as they ran through the forest.
ADemetri=s aura and strength have completely changed,A she thought in worry and shock.
Demetri stopped suddenly and looked around. Sol and Shin stopped as well and looked at him. He looked north and sniffed the air and sighed.
ASomeone=s here. It=s Gail=s men,A Demetri growled as his eyes glowed dimly.
Fifteen men jumped out of the trees and surrounded them. Sol and Shin pulled out their swords and the men came at them. Demetri growled and charged at them as the two men charged at him, swords raised. Demetri smirked, disappeared, reappeared behind the men and stabbed them with his hand.
He got tired after killing five men and pulled out his new sword. It glowed brightly and he swung, killing all the men. Sol and Shin looked at him. Shock was plain on their faces as he sighed.
AHe=s way stronger now. Is he really a demon angel?@ Sol thought as her eyes widened and shook.
Demetri made his sword disappear and turned toward them. They looked back at him and the continued on, running fast before darkness approached. Five hours passed and they came to a river, it was already midnight when they decided to stop and rest. They made a campfire and sat around it as Sol kept glancing at Demetri from time to time.

ADemetri=s power is incredible! Maybe it even surpasses Gail=s, but can he control it?@ She thought.
Shin was asleep in an hour and Sol was in his arms asleep. Demetri was standing by the river, the moon shining on him as he looked into the water. Demetri looked at his hand and sighed as he closed his eyes.
AIs this what true power feels like?@ He wondered as the wind brushed passed him gently.
He felt the blood going through his body, felt his heart beating fast. He opened his eyes and stared at the moon sadly.
AIs this what you felt Selene?@ He asked the moon, knowing it wouldn=t answer him.
He walked back to camp after an hour, thinking of Selene and feeling the grass beneath his bare feet. He stopped as the moon went behind a cloud, shook his head as his eyes glowed dimly.
AEven if she is gone, why can I still feel her presence in my body?@ He thought as he looked at the forest.
His eyes widened as he gasped and his breathing and eyes shook. He saw a woman that looked just like Selene through the trees. She stopped and turned toward him smiling. He didn=t even know he was running across the grass and water, until he felt the coldness of the water in his feet.
He jumped out of the water and ran through the forest, pushing passed trees and bushes in his path. He needed to feel her in his arms again and the beating of her heart.
ASelene!@ He shouted, seeing the woman up ahead walking slowly.
He was almost to her and reached for her in desperation. She turned toward him and smiled.
ASelene,A he said and touched her shoulder.
He gasped and his eyes widened when he couldn=t feel her. His hand went through her body and she burst into gold sparks in front of him. He stood there for a moment, and then looked at his hand in shock.
AI swear I touched her. Am I losing my mind?A he thought in shock.
Sol woke up and looked for him and walked toward the forest. She was deep in the forest and saw him leaning against a tree.
ASelene,A he whispered.
She heard him and walked toward him sadly. He opened his eyes and looked at her as she smiled, trying to hide the pain. She held out her hand and he glanced at it, then back at her.

ADemetri come back to camp and get some rest,A she said as the moon hit her.
He nodded and walked toward camp. He never took her hand and walked passed her. She faced his back as she sighed sadly. Her hand fell to her side and the other went to her chest.
AHe can=t let go of her death. It stills weighs heavily on his heart, all he thinks about... dreams about, is Selene,A she thought tears in her eyes.
In the morning they headed to a town in the east, Sol was glancing at Demetri, thinking about last night.
@What=s wrong?@ Shin asked as he put a hand on her shoulder.
She looked at him and shook her head, then back at Demetri. AIt=s nothing, just tired,A she answered.
Shin nodded as he walked ahead and Sol sighed, looking at Demetri. Thinking about shocked expression on his face last night flashed through her head.
AWhat did he see last night that shocked him that much?@ She wondered.
They walked into a city. The town was huge, with a castle in the middle lit up.
ABe careful here you two,A Demetri warned, looking at them.
They nodded and continued to walk, Demetri seemed uneasy and Sol wondered why. Two guards saw them as they walked up the palace stairs. Demetri growled and Sol stopped as a pulse went through her.
The guards came up to Demetri, swords at their sides and Sol walked next to him. Shin was behind them, hand on his sword uneasily.
AWho the hell are you?!@ One shouted angrily.
The other guard glared at him and then at Demetri, Demetri glared back. The guard relaxed slightly, but not very much, his body tense.
AYou don=t have permission to be here! Unless you have a necklace around your neck to prove you=re a citizen,A the other one said.
Demetri chuckled and wrapped his arm around Sol=s waist. She gasped as her head hit his shoulder.
AI do have clearance to be here, though I do not have a necklace to prove it,A Demetri said smiling a little.
The guard growled and thrust his sword at Demetri. Demetri sighed and closed his eyes, then glared at the guard.
ABad mistake,A he said as he smirked.

Sol gasped and Demetri=s eyes changed. They were gold with a black line in the middle. The guards gasped as they raised their swords and Demetri was gone in the blink of an eye. He was behind them, looking at his blood covered hand as he smirked.
The guards fell to the ground and disappeared. Sol gasped and looked at Demetri as he straightened up.
AThey shouldn=t have messed with me,A he said, shaking the blood off his hand.
Sol was scared and Shin looked at her. Demetri looked at her as his eyes went back to normal.
ASomething=s here. That=s why I came.... it=s calling me,A Demetri said, sadness in his eyes.
Sol nodded and they both followed him through the halls. Her body was still trembling from earlier.
AWhat does he mean?@ Sol wondered fearfully.
She gasped as Shin grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to him.
AIt=s alright,A he whispered in her ear reassuringly.
Sol smiled at him and he smiled back as he put her on his back. Demetri stopped in front of a door and gripped his chest, going to his knee. Sol gasped and rushed toward him.
ADemetri, what=s wrong?@ She asked, gripping his shoulder tightly.
He was panting hard and Sol gripped his shoulder tighter. She gasped and her eyes widened as a strong pulse went through her. Shin walked up to them and Demetri got to his feet, pulling his sword out.
AStayY here,A he rasped as he barley stood up.
Shin picked Sol up as she was sweating and panting. She was gripping her body tightly as pain racked her body, Demetri looked at her.
AIt hurts so much... make it stop,A she cried, tears falling down her face.
It hurt Shin that he couldn=t do anything for her. Demetri looked at the door as he panted as Shin tried to heal Sol, but it wasn=t working. A huge pressure erupted across the hall, sending Shin went to his knees. Demetri almost went to his knees as he gasped loudly.
AWhat is this?@ He wondered.
He kicked open the door and walked inside. A woman with a helmet and armor on was standing by a ball of green, sparkling liquid. The effect wore off and Demetri walked toward the woman. She pulled off her helmet and he gasped as his eyes widened.

@Se.... Selene?!@ Demetri said in shock.
The woman shook her head as he glared at her, and then calmed down. The woman smiled at him and sighed, her eyes seeming to pierce through him.
AHer sister, Leret,A Leret answered.
Demetri remained calm, even though his blood was boiling. His eyes held sadness for her, reminding him of Selene=s death. Demetri made his sword disappear and Leret did too, holding out her hand.
AI never thought I=d see that face again in my lifetime,A he said, smiling a little.
Leret smiled and lowered her hand to her side. Demetri looked away from her in pain, but looked back at her with sadness.
AThe face of your beloved Selene. You know as well as me, that her soul was lost ever since that day,A she said.
Demetri nodded and looked away, eyes closed as his teeth clenched. The woman looked at him sadly and he continued to think of Selene.
AYou were the only one unwilling to accept her death, you=re trapped in her memory,A Leret said smirking, as she pulled out her sword.
Demetri grunted as he blocked her sword, and then pushed her back. She landed on the ground and forced her sword down on him as she smirked.
AShe was worthless, weak and was an outcast, still is! I=m happy she died,A Leret said.
Demetri snapped and pushed her back angrily. He rushed at her and she growled as she held up her sword. Demetri was on the other side of her, claws bloody as he growled.
AHow dare you!@ He growled, pissed off as his aura grew more.
She turned around and gasped as her eyes widened when he rushed at her. He had his hand by her neck and she glared at him as he leaned toward her ear.
AIf you ever insult Selene ever again, I=ll kill you!A he growled and grabbed her arm as his grip tightened.
She gasped and as he snapped her arm. He let go of her arm and made her faint. He walked passed her as he shook the blood off his hand. Suddenly a fireball came at him and he blocked it with his hand as glared through the flames.
His eyes widened as he gasped. Holding Leret, was a man with red hair and violet eyes. It had been five years since he had last saw the man in front of him, thinking he had died.

ALiras!@ Demetri shouted.
Liras smirked and glared at him as he growled angrily. Demetri glared back and growled at the man.
AIt=s been a long time brother!@ Liras shouted, putting Leret gently on the ground.
Liras charged at Demetri and Demetri dodged. He hit Liras in the stomach with his knee. He doubled back and Demetri uppercut him in the jaw.
AYou can=t beat a demon angel Liras. You=re wasting your strength, I surpassed you long ago!@ Demetri shouted, throwing Liras in the air.
Liras caught himself and rushed at Demetri, he disappeared and reappeared behind Leret, hand at her neck. Liras gasped as he spun around as his eyes widened. Demetri picked Leret up by her neck.
ANo don=t!@ Liras screamed rushing at Demetri.
Demetri glared at him, and then looked back at Leret. Liras took a step toward him angrily.
AOne more step and she dies,A Demetri warned as his eyes closed.
Liras stopped and growled, dropping his sword. Demetri looked at him as he glared at his brother. Liras went to his knees, shaking as his eyes closed.
ADemetri, Selene isn=t dead... her soul is still alive,A he said as he opened his eyes.
Demetri gasped as his eyes widened and he dropped Leret. Liras caught her and stood up as he smiled at her.
AWhat?@ Demetri said in shock, going to his knees as his eyes widened.
Liras nodded and walked toward his brother. Liras looked at Demetri as Demetri looked back.
AHer soul is in a chamber somewhere in the west continent. I don=t know where, but she is in a coma, being guarded by Gail=s men and some angels,A Liras told him and disappeared.
Shin and Sol came in and she ran toward Demetri. Shin walked toward him and sighed in exhaustion.
AShe=s alive,A Demetri whispered.
Sol knelt down beside him and Shin knelt in front of him. Demetri smiled and sighed shakily.
AShe=s alive... my Selene,A he cried.

Sol gasped and Shin did too as they smiled happily. Sol was happy for Demetri, now they had to go get her.
AWhere?@ Shin asked.
Demetri shook his head and stood up. Sol and Shin stood up too and looked at him.
AI don=t know, but I will find her,A he said determined.


Chapter 11

Awaken and Power


One year passed and Demetri was standing on a huge cliff. Sol and Shin were behind him as the wind blew.
AIt=s been a year and we=ve searched everywhere for Selene,A Sol thought sadly.
Demetri looked out to the ocean as the moon lit up everything. He wore a black vest shirt and black pants.
ASelene where are you?@ He thought in worry.
They rested for the night and Sol, Shin, and Demetri were fast asleep.
ADemetri,A something echoed in his mind.
He jolted up as he panted, his eyes wide. He sighed shakily and put his hand over his eyes.
AWhat was that?@ He wondered as he got up.
The wind brushed against his skin as his eyes closed and he sighed.
AThese dreams began when Liras told me she was alive, is it just dreams or is she calling to me?@ He asked the wind, opening his amber eyes.
Sol woke up and saw him as she stood up. She walked toward him. She knew that he missed her, she did as well.
ADemetri,A she said.
He looked at her and then back at the sea, gripping his necklace tightly.
AAnother dream?@ She asked, touching his shoulder.
He nodded and glanced at her. She looked at the sea and remembered Selene, then gasped as the wind spoke his name.
AShe=s calling me, but I don=t know where. I can=t seem to follow her voice,A he said sadly as he looked away.
Sol smiled and grabbed his hand as he turned to look at her.

AI can probably tell which direction her voice is coming from. Close your eyes and think of her,A Sol said, closing her eyes.
Demetri closed his eyes and they both concentrated. Sol=s body began to glow a bright blue.
ASelene,A he thought.
A few moments passed and nothing happened. Sol=s wings came out as she concentrated more.
ADemetri,A Selene thought to him.
Sol opened her eyes and grabbed a blue thread. Demetri opened his eyes and gasped as Sol turned to him smiling.
AThis thread will lead us to her, I=m sure of it,A she said.
Demetri=s ran toward the direction the thread led to and Shin stood up. Shin and Sol ran after Demetri as he ran faster.
ASelene!A Demetri thought.
Deep in a chamber was a crystal and a woman was inside. She was wearing a blue dress, her hair down, and a pearl necklace around her neck. The crystal had water around it and it sparkled as the crystal glowed lightly. The guards came in and one angel walked to the crystal and shocked it.
AThat is the only way to shut her up. Only angels can hurt souls,A the angel said and they all left.
Demetri continued to follow the thread, his eyes glowing as he ran faster. Sol and Shin were far behind him now.
ASelene I=m coming!A he thought.
Memories flashed through his head and he smiled.
AI=m coming Selene, I promise,A he whispered.
Back in the chamber the angels and men came in. They had swords in hand with tubes attached to the swords. The angels put the swords into the crystal with the tubes attached and went to a machine, pressing buttons.
ANow one angel and one man put their blood on the tubes,A the angel said as he concentrated.
They formed a circle around the crystal and their bodies began to glow. The crystal glowed a bright yellow as the angel pressed a button and the whole chamber lit up. The woman=s wings came out and they were glowing. The crystal shocked her, she was still in a coma, but her mind could feel everything.
Demetri saw the cave and flew toward it. He heard Selene scream his name in his head and ran faster in fear. Demetri burst into the chamber sword raised.

AStop him!@ One angel shouted.
The angels stopped the ceremony and rushed at Demetri. He killed two and dodged the rest, getting cut up in the process. Shin and Sol rushed at the controls and being blocked by angels and men on the way.
ASelene!@ He shouted, running toward the crystal.
Two angels stabbed him and he screamed in pain. Selene=s fingers twitched a little as Demetri was forced into a wall, grunting at the pain. Sol rushed at the angel controlling everything. Shin killed the angels who were at Demetri and Demetri panted.
The angel at the controls pushed a black button and black, red liquid rushed into the crystal. Selene=s mind screamed in pain and Demetri growled as a huge aura burst from him. He went around the chamber killing all the men and angels. Sol battled the angel at the controls and smashed the machine.
She struck her sword into his heart and pined him to a wall as it chuckled.
AYou=re too late!A it sneered and died.
Demetri had killed all the angels and black vines came out of the crystal. They wrapped around and onto Selene=s soul.
ASelene!@ Demetri shouted as his eyes widened.
Selene=s eyes opened and they were hazy as Demetri gasped.
ANo...A he whispered.
The crystal broke and she landed feet first on the ground. Demetri looked determined and walked toward her. She smirked and black vines went at him, missing him by a few inches, but scratching his arms.
AI lost hope in you. You were weak!@ Selene shouted and more vine like hands went at him.
Three hit him and he grunted as he was thrown into a wall.
AI believed in you, but.... you didn=t come to me when I needed you!@ She shouted and more came at him.
They struck him, but he continued to walk toward her. He was in front of her as she growled and raised her black hand. She struck her hand through his chest and the black was coming out of his back. His body was up in the air. His eyes changed as the air was knocked out of him and he clenched his teeth in pain.
AYou never came for me. I waited all those years and you never came for me!A she shouted angrily.

His feet landed on the ground and he pushed his body toward her. The black hand still in him. Her eyes widened as he pushed toward her through the pain.
AI did. I always did, I tried so hard to bring you back,A he said, then embraced her to him.
She gasped as her eyes widened when he did that. He closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks. She opened her eyes and they went back to normal. The black stuff disappeared and he grunted in pain. She cried on his chest as he embraced her tighter.
APlease forgive me, my love for making you wait for so long,A he whispered.
She embraced him back smiling as she still cried. His wound healed and they both closed their eyes as they smiled.
AI love you, my Selene A he whispered, looking at her.
She opened her eyes and looked at him. He wiped her tears away and she smiled more. He leaned down and kissed her as she kissed back.
AI love you too Demetri A she whispered and then put her head on his chest as he embraced her to him.
The chamber started to disappear and Demetri picked up Selene=s soul. Shin picked up Sol and they ran out of there as the chamber started to collapse in. Selene fainted in Demetri=s arms when they got out and he gasped.
He looked at her when her soul was glowing dimly. Shin was beside him as Demetri sped up and Shin did as well.
AWe have to hurry Demetri. We have to get her soul back in her body or she=ll disappear forever. We have five hours,A Shin told him.
Demetri nodded and sped up. His wings came out and he flew toward Selene=s grave. Shin followed far behind and Sol looked at him with worry.
AHurry Demetri, I hope you make it in time,A he thought and sped up.
Four hours passed and they were an hour away from where they had buried Selene=s body.
APlease let me make it in time,A he thought desperately.
He sped up and a pulse went through him. Black straps went around his legs, arms and wings as he looked at them. He gasped as they made him go faster and looked at his sword.
AThank you Calamity,A he thought.

He reached her grave and dug out Selene=s body, there was only two minutes left. He grabbed her soul and slipped it into her body. One minute passed as her soul went in and two minutes passed.
ANo, please let me be in time,A he whispered, gripping her hand.
Five minutes passed and nothing happened. Demetri gasped as his eyes widened in shock.
ANo...A he whispered, tear running down his face.
He grabbed Selene=s body and held it to his chest, her head on his chest. He cried and Shin and Sol appeared. Shin looked away and as Sol cried going to her knees.
AI didn=t make it in time, I was too late,A he cried, gripping her body tighter.
He gasped as he heard two heart beats and looked at Selene in shock. Her body glowed brightly and then back to normal as her fingers twitched.
ASelene!A he whispered, hoping this was real.
Selene moaned as she opened her eyes slowly. Demetri was too shocked to say anything as Selene touched his cheek.
AHi Demetri,A she whispered as she smiled, tears in her eyes.
Demetri smiled and embraced her to him as he cried, saying her name over and over again. He leaned down and kissed her, caressing her cheek as she kissed back happily. She moaned as his lips brushed against hers. She yearned to taste him again, to feel his skin against hers. They parted and he helped her up as he looked at Sol.
AI=m alive, I=m finally back where I belong,A she thought, looking at Demetri as the sun rose.
He looked at her and picked her up. Shin picked Sol up and they went to the underworld. Three hours passed and Selene woke up, glancing beside her. Demetri was beside her sleeping peacefully.
She smiled and walked up to the human world. Sol saw her and stopped her.
AGail=s men are still after you, stay here,A she said, gripping her shoulder.
Selene smiled at her and disappeared. Sol went to get Demetri as she worried more. Selene was in the human world, she had a red cape on, a red dress and black shoes. She saw Gail=s men and they rushed at her, swords in hand.

She pulled out her sword and charged at them. She killed five and one stabbed her arm, she killed him. Demetri appeared in front of her as one man struck at her. He grabbed the man=s sword as he growled.
AYou idiot!@ He shouted as he looked at her.
She gasped as her eyes widened, he growled and killed all of the men in one swing of his sword. She stood up and put her sword away as he turned to face her. He gripped her shoulders tightly and pushed her to the ground. He pressed her into the flowers in anger as he looked at her.
AWHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!@ He shouted as he gripped her shoulders tighter.
She saw his gold eyes and her eyes widened, fear gripping her. He didn't notice because he was so angry at her for going up to the human world alone.
AYou know Gail=s men are after you! Don=t be so reckless, I don=t want to lose you again!A he shouted.
` She couldn’t talk, the fear was so strong. His eyes softened a little and he touched her cheek, she cringed at his touch and he pulled his hand away.
AWhat happened to you? Your eyes... your body!?@ She asked, scared of him for the first time in her life.
He let go of her shoulders and sat on the ground. A tail was coming out of him, spikes along his back, his eyes closed as his teeth clenched.
AYour younger sister made me into a demon angel to protect you and I took that power to save you,A he said, going back to normal.
He looked at her and she backed away from him, his amber eyes looking at her as she looked away from him. He embraced her to him and she tried to get away from him.
AI gave up everything that day, just to kill Gail because he killed you. I need this power to kill him. If you don't love me anymore because of what I have become, that's fine,A he said, closing his eyes as she relaxed.
Her eyes closed and she looked at him sadly. He touched her cheek and she shook her head.
A I could never not love you Demetri, I still do. Once you kill Gail, you will lose everything. Gail was turned into a demon angel when he touched Pandora=s box,A she said sadly.
He was confused as she looked at him and then looked away, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gripped his chest and he embraced her to him in worry.

ABecoming a demon angel is for angels only. Gail stole that power, it=s a one time deal. The angels only use it for an emergency, that is why we created that power,A she said.
She stood up and walked toward a tree as she cried. He stood up too and walked toward her, putting his hand on her shoulder. She remembered the war between angels and demons and sighed, her hand tightening on the tree.
AWe created it to use in the war two thousand years ago. To protect this world from the demons and send them back to the underworld. Hundreds of angels used them and all of them died after they used it,A she cried.
Demetri embraced her and she embraced him back, crying into his chest.
AYou=ll die too,A she cried.
Demetri tried to calm her down and she calmed down after half an hour as she looked at him.
APandora=s box... I need it,A she said, touching his cheek.
He looked confused and scared. He gripped her hand on his cheek and she looked up at him.
AIt killed you last time Selene! I=m not letting you,A he said.
She smiled and kissed him as he kissed back. She led him to a bench and they both sat down.
AIt was in a prophecy that was decided for me. That I would be the angel to save this world from Gail, also that Pandora=s box could either be used for salvation or destruction depending on the person. It kills evil and grants power to good,A she said calmly.
Demetri looked at her as she looked sad and sighed. APandora=s box killed me because I had turned evil, sucking my soul out and killing it, but if you are good it grants you something. My angel ancestors used it in battle countless times before the war, to save this world from evil,A she said.
She gripped the scar on her left hand, pained by her childhood memories Demetri grabbed her hand. She looked at him and embraced him as he embraced her back, her breathing was shaky.
ADemetri I love you so much, if I don=t come back from this....@ she said looking at him sadly.
He kissed her before she could finish, her eyes widened as she gasped.
ASelene if you die, I=ll follow you. I=ll always follow you no matter what happens,A he said, running his hand through her hair.

She smiled and kissed back, moaning as his lips brushed against hers smiling. They parted and went back to the underworld, then went to sleep. Selene had her head and arms on Demetri=s chest as he wrapped his arms around her. They fell asleep in each others arms, content with the calm and peace surrounding them for a moment, after everything that had happened.
Shin woke up and sensed something was going to happen. He couldm’t explain it, but it had something to do with Selene. Her fate was tied with Demetri’s, whatever was going to happen, it wasn’t good. Sol woke up and wondered what was wrong with him.


Chapter 12

Turned and Past


Two days passed and Demetri woke up that morning and saw that Selene wasn=t beside him. He put his shirt on and walked out into the hall as he looked around. He saw Sol and walked toward her.
AGood morning Demetri,A Sol said, carrying a basket of red apples.
ADo you know where Selene is?@ He asked as he looked at her in worry.
She told him and he smiled as went to the human world. He appeared in the human world on a hill and looked around him.
"Selene you know it=s dangerous out here,A he thought, worried and angry.
Selene was on a cliff, looking at the ocean as the wind blew against her and she smiled.
ASelene I=m glad you=re okay,A someone said calmly.
She turned around and saw Zen. He looked like he did when she first met him and he smiled sadly.
@Yeah,A she said and turned away.
She gasped as he walked behind her, gripping her left hand. He knew that his lust for her would be uncontrollable one day.
@Selene, I=m sorry,A he whispered in her ear sadly.
She closed her eyes and then turned toward him, touching his shoulder.
AI know, I forgive you,A she said as the sunlight hit her face.
He couldn=t control it any longer and pushed her against a tree, his mouth on her neck as she gasped. He was trying to hold himself back, his right hand gripping her left shoulder, his left gripping her hand tightly.
ASelene,A Zen panted as his eyes turned black.
Selene tried to push him away, but he gripped her tighter. He was trying so hard to hold himself back.
AI am a Feras,A he said, his voice strained.

Selene gasped and her eyes wide as she remembered when she got attacked by a Feras. Her mother had told her that a Feras, was a creature that drank the powers from a person or their energy, they could turn anything into what they were, they drank blood to live.
AZen!A she said, her voice and eyes shaking.
He looked at her with his black eyes and she shuddered. He kissed her neck and smiled as she shook more.
AI want you Selene,A he said, the strain gone from his voice.
She gasped in pain as he bit her neck. His fangs sinking into her skin and tears formed in her eyes as unbearable pain came over her. She screamed as he dug his fangs deeper into her neck, drinking her life and blood. Demetri was three miles away, looking for her. His eyes widened as he heard her scream, he gasped and ran toward the sound as fast as he could.
ASelene!@ He said in worried.
Selene closed her eyes as more pain washed over her. She tried to scream again, but all that came out was a gasp. Her breathing became shallow and her vision blurry as he continued to drink.. He sank his fangs deeper in and she gasped in pain.
ADemetri,A she whispered faintly.
Zen wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her into him tightly. She looked at him as her eyes were slowly turning black. She gasped as he tightened his grip on her. She made one last attempt to get away as her body was getting limp and weak.
She put her left hand on his chest and pushed. He opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes back to normal. He withdrew his fangs slowly out of her neck and was halfway through her neck when Demetri appeared.
Demetri gasped as his eyes widened at the site in front of him. Selene was against Zen=s chest, his right arm around her waist. Her head and her right hand were on his chest and his left hand gripping her right one tightly.
ASe....lene@ he whispered, his voice shaking with fear and shock.
She opened her eyes slowly and looked at him. He gasped as he saw the black halfway through her eyes, but what really pissed him off was the bite marks and blood running down her neck, dripping on the ground.
@ZEN, YOU BASTARD!!@ Demetri shouted, pissed off as he pulled out his sword and rushed at Zen.

Zen jumped out of the way and smirked. Selene was in his arms still, slipping in and out of unconsciousness. He set her against a tree and stood up as he pulled out his sword. He blocked Demetri=s attack, spinning around just in time.
AHOW DARE YOU!@ Demetri shouted as his aura grew.
Zen smirked and disappeared, Demetri blocked his attack. He grunted as he was thrust back into a tree, coughing from the dust around him. Zen landed in front of Demetri and knelt down as Demetri glared at him.
AShe=s not yours any longer,A Zen said as he smirked.
Demetri slashed his sword at Zen, he blocked it, smirking still. Demetri smirked and disappeared. Zen gasped as he spun around, Demetri blocked his sword and got Demetri got his other sword out. He stabbed Zen in the stomach as he growled.
Zen growled angrily as Demetri forced him back, and then came at him striking left and right. Zen disappeared in a cloud of dust and rushed at Demetri. He gasped and spun around, but was to late as Zen pinned Demetri to a tree, his sword in Demetri=s shoulder. Zen went up to his face as he smirked.
AI claimed Selene. She=s mine now, not yours,A he said.
Zen smirked in triumph as he turned away. Demetri remembered everything he did with Selene and growled. He pulled Zen=s sword from his shoulder and merged it with Calamity. He disappeared as Zen spun around and screamed when Demetri stabbed him in his heart.
He gasped as his eyes widened and looked at Demetri. Demetri looked at him as he panted.
AWrong. She=s mine!@ Demetri growled, pissed off as his eyes glowed.
Demetri yanked the sword out of Zen and he went to his knees. Zen looked at Selene and smiled, and then fell on the ground as he slowly started to disappear.
AAt least I tasted her, just once,A he whispered and faded away in blue orbs going into the sky.
Demetri saw Selene and rushed toward her. He knelt beside her and picked her up in his arms. He shook her gently as he tried to wake her up.
ASelene!@ He shouted, fear gripping him tightly.
Sol appeared and rushed toward them.
ASelene, please! Open your eyes!@ He shouted, tears forming in his eyes.
Sol took Selene=s left hand and put it to her heart. She dropped Selene=s hand as her eyes widened. Demetri shook Selene gently, panic in his voice as he called her name again and again.

AHer eyes are half black, she=s been turned into a Feras, but only half Feras!@ Sol thought in fright as she shook.
They went to the underworld and Shin grabbed Selene. He put her in a tube and it closed.
AThis will get her heart starting again,A he told Demetri.
He was hooking tubes up to her and filling the tube with a red liquid. He pressed a button and the liquid turned a sparkling green. Demetri sighed and collapsed into a chair beside the tank when he heard her heart beating, relief washing over him. Shin hooked a tube from Selene to Demetri as Demetri looked at Shin.
AShe=s reliving her memories as a little girl. Do you want to see?@ Shin asked.
Demetri nodded and laid down on a table as he looked at Selene. He continued to stare at her as he was slipping into sleep and smiled at her.
ASelene,A he thought as he blacked out.
Shin turned the lights off and he and Sol left the room. Demetri had his hand on the tube beside Selene, feeling the rhythmic beating of her heart.
Two thousand and fifty years ago, Selene was in a courtyard, she was seven years old. The courtyard was lined with huge walls, vines and cherry blossom trees. Three other kids were there playing with her as well.
ASelene!@ Someone called as she smiled.
Selene stopped playing and looked at the house across the courtyard. A woman was standing on a porch, wearing a green and red kimono. She had long, black hair and green eyes. Selene laughed and ran toward the woman. The woman grabbed her hand and knelt toward Selene.
AMother can I stay a bit longer?@ Selene asked.
The woman smiled and ruffled Selene=s hair as Selene giggled.
ANo we have to go, come on,A she said and stood up.
Selene sighed and followed her mother across a river. She was wearing a white kimono, with cherry blossoms on it. Suddenly she saw three angels and stopped. Her mother smiled at them and they smiled back.
ALady Hikaru, we need you to come with us for a minute,A one of them said.
Selene looked sadly at her mother for having to go. Hikaru asked the other angel to take care of her and he agreed. Hikaru kissed Selene and left as the angel took her to the park and she played with him. Three hours passed and they were walking to her house.
Suddenly an alarm sounded and all the people went into their houses. The sky turned dark and the angel picked Selene up.
AWhat=s going on?@ Selene asked, worried and scared.

The angel pulled out his sword and growled as his eyes turned gold. The angel ran toward Selene=s house as an army of demons suddenly came out of the sky. Selene gasped and the angel ran into her house, putting a barrier around it.
ADemons,A Selene said, scared as she looked out the window.
Selene saw Hikaru and the other angel running toward the house, sword in hand. She glanced back and helped another angel up to his feet.
AHurry!@ Hikaru shouted, running faster as five demons chased them.
Selene got out of the way as a window blew in. The angel guarded her as glass flew at her. Hikaru and the other angels came in and put a barrier up, but gasped as the demons broke through it.
AGet Selene out of here!@ Hikaru shouted, holding off a demon.
The angel nodded and grabbed Selene, running outside. She saw her mother and gasped as two demons came at her. They killed Hikaru as the other angel killed one and two killed him.
AMOTHER!@ Selene screamed.
Five angels showed up and the angel handed her to one. He disappeared with her and the others fought the demons.
@Stay here Selene,A the angel said and went down to the human world to fight the demons.
Two hours passed and Selene was walking around the forest, the angels had still not returned. She gasped and hid behind a tree as she saw a demon. The demon was holding down an angel with it=s foot angrily.
ATell me where she is! The one the prophecy told us about!@ The demon growled as the angel chuckled and didn=t talk.
The demon killed the angel, stabbing his sword into its chest as Selene gasped in fright. The demon turned toward the tree she was hiding behind and walked toward it as she pressed her body against the tree. She gasped as her eyes widened when the spot where she was pressing against glowed blue.
The demon rushed toward the spot and Selene=s body went into the tree. The demon found the tree empty and walked off. Selene came out of the tree and looked at her body in shock. It was still glowing a faint blue, but quickly disappeared.
AWhat was that?@ She whispered in shock as her eyes shook.
She saw a cave and walked into it. It got darker the farther she went in and she was feeling along the cave walls.
AHello,A someone said in the darkness.

She gasped and spun around in fright. It was another angel, he had a torch and held out his hand. She took his hand and he smiled as she smiled back.
AYou=re Hikaru=s little girl. Selene, right?@ He asked as he stood up.
She nodded and tears formed in her eyes. He sighed and wiped them away as he kneeled in front of her.
AShe=s dead,A she whispered as she cried.
The angel picked her up and walked through the cave as she saw pictures on the wall. The angel held the flame to her hand and she looked at it as he smiled.
AYou might be the girl in this prophecy, if you are you=ll touch this and it won=t hurt,A he told her.
Selene held out her hand and her hand went through the flame. She gasped and held the flame in her hand.
AYou=re the girl the demons are after. That=s why they came here,A the man said.
Selene put the flame back on the touch and the man set her down. She walked away and he pulled out a sword. Selene turned around and gasped in fright. The man was a demon and she backed up.
AFinally the girl we=ve been searching for is here. Gail will be happy,A the demon said as he raised his sword.
The demon struck his sword down as Selene closed her eyes and held up her hands. The demon growled and Selene opened her eyes, she gasped as a barrier was in front of her.
AWhat the-!@ The demon said, as a sword hit his arm.
Selene spun around and saw Kotare. He smiled at Selene and walked toward her, sword out
AThat was a bad mistake for hurting my friend,A he said angrily.
He was thirteen years old and he killed the demon in three strikes, and then turned toward Selene. He put his sword away and two angels entered, one was his father and the other was his mother.
AYou okay Selene?@ Kotare asked, holding out his hand as he smiled.
She took his hand and cried on his chest, he blushed and embraced her to him.
@We have to get going kotare,A his father said sternly.
Kotare nodded and picked her up, running out of the cave with his family. Two years passed and Kotare=s family adopted Selene into their family. Kotare had a older brother who was sixteen, Gail.

AThis is my brother Gail, he=ll be training you,A Kotare said, giving her a tour of the house and training grounds.
She scoffed and walked off as Gail chuckled. Kotare sighed and was getting annoyed with Selene.
AI don=t need training,A she said.
Gail took out his stick sword and rushed at her. She opened her eyes and disappeared as he spun around, blocking her attack. She smirked and swept her foot under his feet. He landed on his back and she held her sword at his throat as she smirked.
ASee?@ She mocked.
Kotare=s father and mother clapped as they both smiled. Selene smiled and walked toward them.
AWell done Selene A her foster mother, Sae said.
Sae took Selene upstairs and her father. Serest waked toward Gail and Kotare.
ALooks like she surpassed both of you, I=m shocked,A he said, chuckling a little.
Gail got up angrily as Kotare pouted and Serest looked at them.
AShe=s not our real sister. She=s the girl the prophecy told about, that=s why she=s stronger!@ Gail shouted angrily.
Serest slapped him and he stepped back, touching his cheek in shock.
ADon=t you dare talk about her like that, the reason she=s so strong is not because of a prophecy! It=s because she trained, unlike you two, especially you Gail!@ Serest shouted and left.
Kotare glared at Gail and left too, getting ready for a dance. Selene was dressed up and was being taken their by now. They were at the dance and two hours later were getting tired, Selene was at the balcony when five windows burst in. Everyone screamed and ran for the exits as fifteen demons came through the windows.
Five charged at Selene, she gasped and pulled out a sword. Kotare came in front of her and two other angels held four of them off as one went came at Selene from behind.
She spun around and cut it in half, blood sprayed and twenty more came at her. She growled and another wave of angels came in front of her. One hour passed and the demons were dead. Selene’s dress was torn up as she panted tiredly.
ASelene!@ Kotare screamed as he rushed toward her.
She looked at him and fainted and he caught her.
AThe demons are after me and Pandora=s box,A she said as she panted still.

He healed the wound in her stomach and she sighed, and then stood up.
@We are guarding Pandora=s box at our house, our parents are there!@Kotare said in worry.
They both rushed home as fast as they could in an hour. They saw their house and gasped when they saw blood on the door and walls. They ran inside and their eyes widened, on the ground was Sae, covered in blood a little.
AMother!@ Kotare shouted, running to her as Selene did too.
Kotare shook her as Selene heard swords clash and rushed downstairs. Kotare followed after her after he closed his mother’s eyes. Selene gasped as she saw Gail stab Serest, blood covering him as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Gail... why?" Serest said as he went to his knees coughing.
Gail yanked his sword out and then turned toward Selene.
AI need Pandora=s box to lead the demons,A he said.
Selene clenched her sword and teeth tightly. Kotare came down and gasped at the sight.
AGail!@ Kotare shouted as he rushed at Gail.
Gail smirked and blocked Kotare=s sword angrily. Selene saw Pandora=s box and ran toward it, grabbing it in her arms.
ANO!@ Gail shouted.
He pushed Kotare away and rushed at Selene. She blocked his sword, grunting as his eyes glowed.
AYou=re a demon angel now!A she shouted angrily.
Gail smirked and forced her back into a wall. She put both of her hands on Pandora=s box and made it disappear. Gail charged at her angrily as his sword appeared in his hand. Selene ducked and slashed, cutting Gail=s chest, as he growled. He grabbed and held her by her neck as she gasped.
ADie!@ He growled as his eyes glowed brighter.
Kotare got up slowly, gripping his wound as he rushed toward Selene. Selene=s wings came out and they both gasped. She only had two wings and the other angels had six. She gripped Gail=s arm and he screamed as his arm broke.
She pulled out a dagger and charged at Gail. Gail swiped at her as she smirked and stabbed him in the chest.
Kotare fainted from his wound as Gail disappeared and Selene went to her knees. Two angel appeared three hours later and healed them both. They trained at the academy for angels for the next two years and Selene was sent on her first mission.

The memory faded and Demetri opened his eyes, looking at Selene sadly.
ASelene how horrible, you lost your foster mother and Gail killed his family,A he thought.
It was dark in the room and he just laid there, looking at Selene in the sparkling green liquid.
ASelene I hope you don=t turn evil again, please don=t my love,A he thought sadly as he touched the glass.


Chapter 13

Lust

An hour passed and Selene did not wake up. Shin and Sol were working on her, trying to figure out what was wrong. Demetri was in the human world where he had seen Selene get bitten. He growled angrily at the memory.
ASelene please be alright,A he thought in worry.
The tank Selene was in bubbled and her fingers twitched. Sol gasped and Shin smiled. Selene=s eyes slowly opened and Sol gasped in shock and fear as Shin pulled out his sword. Selene=s eyes were black with golden orbs in the middle. She looked around the room and saw Sol and Shin.
Sol went to get Demetri and Shin opened the tank as Selene got out soaking wet.
ASelene, you=re a...@ Shin couldn’t finish.
Selene sighed and looked into the mirror as her hand clenched.
AI knowYI=m a half Feras,A she said, standing up and walking toward a closet.
Demetri came back with Sol and stopped dead in his tracks. Selene had a black kimono on and her eyes different.
ASe... SeleneA he said in shock.
His eyes shook and his breath turned shaky as he saw what she had become, the tubes were still in her. She stood up and walked toward him, putting her hand on his cheek as she smiled sadly.
ADemetri I have to go,A she said and walked passed him, head down as her bangs went over her eyes.
He clenched his teeth and spun around, grabbing her wrist. He pulled her toward him and she gasped as she hit his chest. He put his arms around her as her eyes widened.
AYou=re not leaving me, not again!@ He said, pain and sadness in his voice.

He looked into her eyes and they turned back to normal. He put his hand on her cheek and smiled.
AI love you Selene, I=m never letting you go ever again,A he whispered as he leaned down.
She smiled and closed her eyes as his lips on hers in a gentle kiss. She moaned a little as his lips brushed against hers, gentle and passionate. He parted from her and they looked at each other. She smiled, then looked away as her grip on his chest tightened.
ADemetri, but I=m a Feras,A she said as tears formed.
He put his hand under her chin and made her look at him.
ADo you think I care?@ He asked.
She tried to look away, but he kissed her and then he parted from her. Sol went to Shin and he held her as they looked at Demetri and Selene.
AI wouldn’t care if you were a demon angel, human, angel or this Feras. I love you and will never give you up,A he told her.
She leaned toward him and cried on his chest as he embraced her tightly. She stopped and opened her eyes, her hands on his chest.
AI=m a Feras Demetri. I could kill you or turn you if I lose control. I should leave,A she whispered as she tightening her grip.
He disappeared with her in his arms to the human world. Sol and Shin went to bed, wondering where he had disappeared to. Demetri laid Selene against some flowers and stroked her hair, wiping away her tears.
"Demetri I can't be with you. I could kill you if the whim struck me, leave!" She shouted as tears flew.
ADo you want me to show you again how much I love you? Trust you? How I=ll never leave you as long as I=m still breathing?@ He asked, pain in his eyes as he put his hand on her cheek.
He kissed her passionately as she gasped and kissed back. He took off her shirt and she took off his. His arms holding him up above her as he deepened the kiss.
AI love you Selene and always will,A he whispered in her ear.
He started kissing her neck, his lips ran down her arm, and then captured her lips again as his hands ran down her body to her hips slowly. It drove him crazy to taste her like this. Her scent, her body against his, to just be with her was suffocating him.
AI love you too Demetri,A she whispered.
She kissed him again, her hands running down his back as they got into a kissing fit.

Morning came and Selene woke up. They were in his bed in the underworld and she wondered how they had got there. She glanced beside her and saw Demetri, his left arm wrapped around her, the other on her back. She remembered last night and sighed happily, Demetri had comforted her in his own way.
She was about to get out of bed, but Demetri grabbed her around her waist as he sat up. She looked at him and giggled as he kissed her neck, and then ran his lips up her neck.
AWhere do you think you=re going?@ He asked huskily, his mouth still on her neck.
She laughed lightly and touched his face as he opened his eyes and looked at her. She smiled at him and he chuckled as he smiled back.
AI don=t know,A she said.
He pulled her back into the bed and her head hit the pillows.
Demetri was above her as his right hand held him up. His left hand caressed her face, and then began tracing it with two fingers.
AStay here then if you don=t know,A he whispered huskily in a low voice that made her shudder.
She laughed as he kissed her, his lips felt soft and gentle on hers, his other hand going over her left arm slowly. His hand was like a fire dancing on her skin when his hand went slowly on her body like that. She knew that he was like a fire and sometimes could be dangerous when her life was at stake.
How could this man, this demon who was her lover, be so dangerous and ruthless and yet be so gentle and kind at the same time?
AIt=s tempting, I=ll accept your offer,A she whispered when they parted.
She was melting at his touch with the way his fingers made patterns on her skin. He chuckled and kissed her neck as she laughed and he chuckled. AThat tickles,A she laughed when he looked at her from her neck.
He stopped and ran his hand along her face, tracing it gently like she was a breakable doll. She kissed him as he kissed back and they got into a kissing fit. There was a knock at the door and they parted, seeing Sol through the door.

ATime to go on another mission you two!A she said giggling.
Demetri sighed and Selene giggled. He looked at her and got into a kissing fit.

"Just a second. I want to finish this first," he whispered in her ear and traced his hand on her back.
"Demetri we have to go," she said laughing as he nibbled on her neck and moaned a little when he nibbled harder.
He got out of bed and put a black tank top on, changing out of his white pants and into some black leather ones. She got out of bed and put a red tank top on, black pants and shoes. He put on brown shoes and they walked out the door. Two hours passed and they walked into a large village, with five tall buildings and they pulled their swords out.
AWhere are all the people?@ Sol asked.
Shin gripped her hand and Demetri gripped Selene=s. The whole village was deserted, webs hung from doors as mist rolled in from all over the place.
ALet=s get to a house and rest for the night,A Demetri said as he led Selene to a house.
They entered the house and laid down on a wooden floor with a fire in the middle. Demetri held Selene in his arms and Shin held Sol in his. In the middle of the night Selene sprang up, gasping as sweat dripped down her. She looked at her hands and then at Demetri.
She sighed as she stood up and walked down a hall.
She turned into a bathroom and she sighed as she pulled the shower curtains open. She gasped as her eyes widened at the scene in front of her. The bathroom wall had blood over it and a woman=s body was in the tube. She backed up and hit a wall and slid down it in shock.
She felt a hand brush against her neck and she looked behind her, and then screamed. Demetri woke up at her scream and rushed down the hall.
ASelene!@ He shouted in fear and worry.
A pulse went through Selene as her eyes widened. She gasped as she saw the body behind her. Selene=s eyes turned black with gold in them and she went to her knees as she shook. Demetri burst in the bathroom and gasped as his eyes widened. Selene was biting the body=s neck and drinking the blood.
ASe.... Selene,A he whispered as his eyes and voice shook.
Her wings had come out and they had black veins in them. She saw Demetri and withdrew her teeth.
ADemetri, I=m so thirsty,A she said as she crawled toward him.
He couldn=t move as he fell against the wall and slid down trembling.
ASelene,A he whispered.

She crawled onto him, her hands pinning his shoulders down as she leaned toward her neck trembling. Her eyes widened as her fangs touched his neck and her hands shook as she tried to hold herself back.
ADemetri... get...away... from me,A she said, grunting as she tried to pull away.
He didn=t move. She pushed herself back a little and went to his throat. She closed her eyes tightly as her fang pierced his throat and he his eyes widened. She grunted as she was thrown back into a wall.
Demetri looked up and saw Shin with his sword in hand. Selene shook her head and opened her eyes. They went back to normal as Demetri fainted.
ADemetri!A she shouted in fear.
She crawled toward him and gasped as she saw the mark on his neck. ADid I...!@ she said as she gasped and backed up.
Shin looked away and she disappeared as Sol rushed toward Demetri.
AWhere=s Selene?@ he asked as Sol helped him up.
She carried him back to the fire and Shin told him that she had disappeared as Sol looked away.
AShe=s gone!@ Demetri shouted angrily.
He got up and went outside as he looked for her. His breathing turned to a hard panting as he ran through the trees, worried for Selene.
ASelene I=m coming!A he thought as he ran faster.
Selene was on top of a huge building and the wind brushed passed her. She ran as far away from the building as possible, still panting hard.
AI bit Demetri! What if he=s turned, what if I killed him?!@ She cried, worried and scared as tears flew passed her.
Demetri heard her crying and followed the sound. He jumped onto a building and saw her. Hearing her sobs broke his heart and he walked toward her as he embraced her to his chest tightly. She gasped as she felt his warm arms around her and cried more.
She turned toward him and embraced him.
AI=m so sorry Demetri, I=m so sorry!@ She cried, embracing him tightly as she cried harder.
Demetri tried to calm her down and ran his hand over her hair. It tore him up to see her like this and to smell the salty tears now rushing down her cheeks
AIt=s okay Selene. We=ll find a way to turn you back to normal,A he whispered against her hair.
She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and kissed her as she kissed back.
AOkay Demetri,A she said when they parted as she put her head on his chest.

He carried her back to the house and she kept looking at his neck. She her hand over it and looked at it sadly.
ASelene if you want my blood you can have it,A he said suddenly as he smiled.
She closed her eyes and looked away, tears in her eyes. He looked at her sadly as tears fell on his arms lightly
ANo, I don=t want to turn or kill you,A she whispered.
He caressed her cheek and she looked at him. He walked into the house and found a empty room. He walked into it and closed the door behind him.
ASelene I trust you. I know you won=t kill me or turn me,A he said.
He sat down on the bed and Selene=s eyes turned black with gold in them. He looked at her and she panted as she reached to his neck.
AIt=s alright. You can=t turn me because I=m a demon angel now,A he said with love in his eyes as he smiled a little.
She smiled and she bit his neck as he gasped painfully. She knocked him against the bed and she gripped his chest tightly as she laid on top of him. Demetri looked at her as she drank his blood. The pain had stopped and he stroked her hair gently.
She opened her eyes and looked at him as she smiled. She withdrew her teeth and looked at his bite mark. His wound healed and he put his hand on her cheek. She leaned into in and sighed.
AWe=ll find a way to turn you back Selene, I promise,A he said, and then kissed her as she kissed back.
They parted and Selene fell asleep, her head and arms on his chest. Demetri wrapped his arms around her protectively.
AI love you Selene,A he whispered in her ear.
Two days passed and they were walking in a forest as night began to fall. Selene gripped her throat tightly as she closed her eyes. Shin and Sol didn=t notice, but Demetri did and stopped.
AYou guys go on ahead, I have to do something,A he told them.
Shin and Sol looked at him, nodded and walked on. Demetri looked at Selene and motioned her to follow him. He stopped and she stopped behind him as she grabbed his wrist.
ADo what you need to do Selene. I=ll be fine,A he said.
She nodded and gripped his wrist tightly, pinning it against a tree as he turned toward her. She backed him into the tree and leaned toward his neck. He gripped her other hand and she gripped back as her eyes turned. He gasped as she bit his neck and he gripped her hand tighter.

ASelene,A he panted.
She looked at him and withdrew her teeth. She kissed his neck and licked the blood off, then backed up as his wound began to heal. He grabbed her hand and they went to catch up with Sol and Shin.


Chapter 14

Pandora=s box


Demetri and Sol were walking through a forest as Shin and Selene walked in opposite directions, searching for enemies.
AI don=t see anyone yet, maybe Gail really has disappeared from this earth,A Sol said as she looked around with her sword in hand.
Selene and Shin met up and saw a fire. They started to walk toward it cautiously.
ASomeone=s still here,A she said as she pulled out her sword and Shin did too.
Suddenly five guys appeared, wearing armor all over their bodies, and had their swords in hand. Shin stood in front of Selene as she put her sword to the side and concentrated.
ASol we need help, hurry!@ He thought to her and charged at the guys.
Selene opened her eyes and they were black with gold in them. Two guys disappeared in a shimmer and Shin gasped as two held him by his arms, making him drop his sword.
ALet him go!@ Selene shouted, rushing toward him angrily.
She gasped as one man held her hands behind her back, making her drop her sword and punched her in the gut.
ASelene!@ Shin shouted.
He tried to break out of their hold, but they stabbed him in the back and he grunted in pain. Selene growled and looked up, and then gasped as her eyes widened. In front of her was a man covered in silver armor looking at her. The mask retracted to the sides and his eyes looked like hers yellow with black in the middle.
AYou are an immortal, a Feras.... like us,A he said in a low voice.
Selene shook her head and growled at him. Demetri and Sol showed up and killed the two men that held Shin. He nodded and charged at the man that held Selene.
ANo, I’m not like you!@ She shouted as she pushed the man away.

Demetri killed him, and then they faced the one that was in front of her. They charged at the man and he did a back flip, grabbing his sword in the process. He stabbed Demetri in his chest and went back. Sol and Shin swung their swords together and smirked a little.
He bent his back down and kicked both their swords up. He spun and stabbed Sol in the stomach and Shin in the chest. They flew back and hit a tree as he straightened up. Selene got ticked off and charged at the man.
He turned and swung his sword as she did a handstand. She spun around in a circle, dodging the man=s sword and kicked him in the jaw as he flew up. She jumped after him as he spun and kicked her in the jaw. She flew back and caught herself, grabbing her sword.
He landed on the ground and grabbed his sword. Both their swords were at the other=s throats, locking gazes. He stabbed her through her heart as her eyes widened and she gasped. She stabbed him through his heart and he grunted.
ASELENE!@ Demetri screamed, running toward her.
She stumbled back as he did as well and she felt something in her throat. Demetri grabbed Selene=s shoulder, looking at her throat, and she pulled the spike out of her throat. She twirled it around and threw it at him. He blocked it, threw his at her and she caught it with two fingers.
AI=ll see you again,A he said and disappeared.
She sighed and her throat healed. She looked at the wound in her heart and it healed up quickly. Demetri gasped as Shin walked over.
AWhy am I not dead?@ She whispered shakily and stuck her fingers in the wound, it hurt a little, but the wound healed.
Demetri looked at Selene and Shin went to heal Sol. Demetri was about to touch her shoulder, but she walked away. She walked up a hill as Demetri sighed and started a fire.
AWhat was that? Selene stood up against that man, but her wounds healed and she didn=t die. What=s going on?@ He thought as he looked at the sky.
Selene was in a river and her shirt was off as she looked at her wound, and then the weird tattoo on her back.
AThe reason I can=t die, was it because of Armageddon?A she wondered, trying to heal her wound.
An hour passed and Selene had not come back. Demetri got worried and walked up the hill, looking for her.
AI can=t die, but why?@ She asked as he looked at her hands.

Demetri saw her and walked toward her. She turned toward him and smiled. He smiled back and he grabbed her hand as she squeezed it.
@Are you alright?@ He asked in worry as he gripped her hand back.
She looked at her wound, and then shook her head as she opened her eyes.
AI guess I am. I don=t really know,A she whispered uncertainly.
The wind blew against their skin as her hair blew to the left. He embraced her and she embraced him back as her eyes closed.
ADemetri I need to know more about my past, I don=t think Hikaru was my real mother,A she said and he embraced her tighter as she shook.
He nodded and led her back to camp. She laid down by the fire and he embraced her to him as she snuggled into him.
AI=ll keep you warm,A he said as he smiled as he ran his hand down her arm.
She smiled and fell asleep in his arm. He did too after thinking for half an hour. In the middle of the night she woke up at a strange feeling. She got out of Demetri=s grasp and walked toward the river.
She saw the man she had fought and he walked toward her. She smirked and rushed at him as she grabbed his throat.
AI thought I recognized that armor,A she said and she stabbed the man in his chest with her hand.
She pulled out a black, silverfish pearl and dropped the man as he slowly disappeared.
AYou used Pandora=s box. The rest are in your friend’s bodies and one in mine,A she said as she touched her chest.
Demetri woke up and saw her as she put the orb in her chest and gasped. She went to her knees and started coughing hard.
ASelene what=s wrong?!@ He asked as he knelt in front of her.
She gripped the wound on her heart and gasped as her eyes widened. Suddenly silver armor went on her body.
AThe orbs that were in Pandora=s box are in the bodies of the immortals and one in mine,A she said.
She stood up and made the armor go away as she turned toward Demetri. Her heart wound was not healed as he put his hand over it.
@Why is your wound not healing?@ He asked in worry as he looked at her.
She smiled and placed her hand on his. Shin and Sol were standing by them.
AI got it wrong the first time. My destiny is to get all of Pandora=s orbs and put them in my body. I=m Pandora=s box, but this orb has been inside me all along since my birth. I became Pandora’s Box when I died.A she said as she opened her eyes.

They all left and walked toward the forest. Selene gripped her neck as she tried to keep the thirst at bay.
AYou thirsty?@ Demetri asked as he stood beside her and gripped her hand.
She shook her head, but was panting as he grabbed her hand and dragged her behind a tree. He pushed her gently against it and looked at her. He pulled his shirt down to his shoulder and leaned his neck toward her. Her eyes turned and she gripped his hand, the other gripping his chest as she went to his neck.
She bit into it and he gasped at the pain as he gripped her body to his. She drank more deeply as he clenched his teeth and she withdrew. She licked the blood off his neck as panted. He smiled and they ran to catch up with Shin and Sol.
They traveled to a city in an hour’s time. It was deserted, misty, and blood splatters were everywhere.
AThis is where I killed all these people when I was with Gail,A Selene thought as she gripped her hand.
Demetri gripped her hand and she looked at him.
AIt=s alright,A he said comforting.
She nodded and they went in a building. They laid down and started a fire. In the middle of the night Selene woke up as she sensed two orbs nearby. She stood up and ran to the top of the building, in front of her were two immortals, swords in hand.
She went into her armor and pulled out a silver sword. The two men took a step toward her.
ACome angel,A one said as he pointed his sword at her.
She growled and charged at the men. One jumped over her and she blocked his sword as the other went for her legs. She gasped and kicked him in the jaw, dodging his sword by an inch. The first one landed and spun around. She spun around and blocked it, grunting as sparks flew.
The second one spun around after landing and struck. Selene grunted and blocked it with her feet as she jumped in the air. She twisted her feet and the second one dropped his sword as she threw it over the building with her feet. She grabbed the first man=s arm and twirled her sword at him.
He dodged her sword blows as she struck at him each time. She growled angrily and did a back flip.

She landed on his chest and swung her sword in his chest. It grunted and stabbed her heart wound again. She ripped the orb from his chest with her sword and jumped back as he disappeared. She spun around and blocked the other one.
It forced the sword out of her hands and stabbed her chest. She ripped her hand into his armor, but he stabbed her arm as she screamed and fell backwards. The man raised his sword and swung, but she created a barrier around her. He broke through it and stabbed her in the chest.
AYour barrier won=t work on immortals,A the man said, bending down to take the orbs out of her heart.
She growled as his hand went in her chest. She gripped his arm tightly and he growled as he tried to pull it out. She broke his arm it gasped as he fainted. Demetri and Sol came up and gasped.
Selene was drinking the man=s blood and withdrew her teeth. She stood up, the two orbs in her hand, and turned toward Demetri. Her eyes were yellow with black in the middle again. The glittering silver-black orbs, turned white and she put them in her chest.
Her wings came out and had golden lines on and her armor turned black.
ASelene no,A Demetri whispered, shocked that she turned evil again.
She smiled and walked toward him. She touched his cheek and he looked confused.
AI=m fine Demetri. I=m not evil,A she said as she smiled.
He sighed and embraced her to him tightly. His eyes closed as Selene embraced back.
AI=m glad,A he said as he looked at her.
She grabbed his hand and leapt to the other building, and then to another one. She stopped and entered a cave as her wound began to glow a bright gold. She saw Pandora=s box and walked toward it.
Demetri gripped his chest and stopped as she looked at him. He nodded and she walked ahead.
@This is it. Pandora=s box,A she whispered as she grabbed it.
She faced Demetri and she put a cloth around it. He sighed and walked toward her.
ANow all I need to do is find more immortals and get the orbs. There are three more leftA she said as she faced the cave.
An immortal came in the cave sword in hand. Selene=s eyes changed and she pulled out a sword. She gasped when it grew bigger and started glowing. The handle looked like a snake and the sword pointed upward.
It had a black dragon engraving on both sides as they glowed red. She gasped as it wrapped a black strap up her arm.
ANice to see you again,A the sword said calmly.

Selene tried to get it off and the immortal charged at her. She made her silver armor appear and growled. It slashed at her as she dodged and stabbed it in the chest. It pushed her back and she flew into a wall as she grunted.
She came running out as her sword started to glow brighter. She broke the immortals sword and chopped off his head. She landed and the straps went back into the sword. She walked up to the immortal and grabbed the orb out of it=s chest.
It glowed silver and she put it into her chest, healing a little. She looked at her sword angrily.
AI thought I=d seen the last of you, Armageddon,A she growled as she glared at the sword.
Demetri walked up and gasped at the sword, and then growled as Calamity appeared at his side.
AI won=t kill you this time or turn you over to the darkness in your heart,A Armageddon said.
She scoffed and made it disappeared as she grabbed Pandora=s box. She walked out of the cave with Demetri behind her.
AI=ll help too,A Demetri said as he grabbed Selene=s shoulder.
She stopped on the water, bangs over her eyes as he stopped too. He looked at her in silence.
AYou can=t, they=ll kill you,A she said as her voice cracked.
He put his hand under her chin and she looked at him sadly.
AI won=t die. I can handle myself,A he said.
She closed her eyes and opened them. They changed as she sighed and touched his chest.
AYou=re not an immortal, a being who cannot die, I amA she said as she looked away.
He sighed and kissed her as she gasped and her eyes widened. She kissed back and wrapped her arms around him as his grasp tightened on her.
ADemetri you are always here for me, but... I have to do this alone. Kill Gail and the immortals by myself,A she thought as she closed her eyes.
They parted and she embraced him. He gasped when she did as her body shook.
AI wish there was a place and a time where we could feel the wind and water on us, a time with no fighting, no war, no conflict,A she said as she cried on his chest.
He embraced her back tightly as his eyes closed, and then opened. He sighed and looked at her as he stroked her hair gently, trying to soothe her.
AThere will be. I=ll take you there when this is all overA he said as his grip tightened.
She nodded and looked at him. He smiled and wiped her tears away as he kissed her again. She moaned as his lips gently brushed against hers, tasting him. They parted and walked away as they began looking for the immortals and Gail, leaving Shin and Sol behind.

AWe=ll be alright,A he said as he gripped her other hand tightly.
They looked at each other in the moonlight. He leaned down and kissed her passionately as she kissed back. He knew that he wouldn't let her get hurt again and would give his life for hers.


Chapter 15

Fight and Gail


Ten years had passed and they had encountered Gail and some other immortals. The immortals did not have the orbs and Selene and Demetri were currently traveling with five immortals. They had fought and wounded Gail on each encounter, but he got stronger every time and Selene was gravely wounded by each time they fought.
It had been five days since the last fight with Gail. Selene was resting in a hut and Demetri was searching with three immortals for food and water. Selene=s hair was to the middle of her back. She was wearing a red Asian like top and black pants, Demetri was wearing a black Asian top with black pants and his hair to the middle of his neck.
Selene opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but a girl immortal, named Gabriel, pushed her back down. Gabriel smiled and sighed as she wiped the sweat off Selene=s head.
AYou shouldn=t move. We are immortals, but are injuries need time to heal,A Gabriel said as she smiled.
Selene didn=t talk as she stared at the ceiling and her hand clenched the bed tightly at the pain. Demetri felt it, but ignored it and continued the search for food and water. He and Selene were not speaking to each other. Ever since she had gotten wounded and after having a fight with him, he seemed distant. Selene closed her eyes and turned her head as Gabriel left.
She growled as she remembered the fight she had with him, how painful the words he had said to her had been. He had said he didn=t love her any longer, that he wished that she would die. She had hoped that the words he had said were a lie, but her heart ached so much.
AHe probably would be better off if I did die. I never listen to him, I=m so focused on finding Gail,A she thought sadly.

She sighed and sat up as she gripped her wound in her stomach and the throbbing one on her chest. She grabbed a stick as she stood up and walked slowly out of the hut. Gabriel and the other one were nowhere to be found and she walked toward a hill to watch the sunset. Tears fell down her face as she remembered the fight, it was still so clear.
They were carrying her into the hut to treat her wounds. Demetri was by her side and gripping her hand tightly, worried sick about her. She forced him out of the way when Gail had struck, piercing her chest and stomach as he had watched in horror when she hit the ground. Three hours passed and the immortals left as she opened her eyes and looked at him.
She remembered the words of worry that came from him, she had brushed them aside.
AI have to find Gail again so I can kill him,A she had said, ignoring his pleas to not go.
She pushed him aside and he looked at her as she growled at him and sat up wincing.
ASelene you=re too injured to go, rest,A he said as he walked up to her.
She pushed him away, anger and love in her eyes. He gasped as he saw that in her eyes. He backed up, shock and anger on his face.
AI have to find him, kill him. HE TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD AWAY FROM ME THE DAY HE TOOK ME!@ She shouted.
He gasped as she said that. His eyes grew angry and shocked more as his body shook.
ASelene he didn=t...@ he couldn’t finish, afraid of the answer.
She closed her eyes and looked away as her hands clenched, her body trembling. He stepped back, fear and worry in his face and eyes.
AHe... he did Demetri, Gail slept with me,@ she said sadly as her voice cracked.
Demetri imagined that, then got even more angry and hit a wall, breaking it.
AWHY THE HELL DIDN=T YOU TELL ME!@ He shouted, anger coursing through him.
Because of Gail or her refusal to tell him something so important he didn't know. She looked away still, her voice calm when she spoke as it cracked here and there.
AI... I grew to love him.... just a little... it was either that or he would kill you. I couldn’t bare that happening, so... I had to do sleep with him Demetri,A she said, trembling more at the night.
Demetri didn=t speak for a moment, either from shock or from the consuming anger taking him over he didn’t know. He was calm when he spoke, his eyes full of anger and betrayal.

@If you loved him, then I will never look at you the same. I don=t love you any longer Selene. You are dead to me forever. I wouldn’t care if you died right now!A he said angrily.
Selene didn=t speak. He growled and left, stomping off to find food and water with the immortals.
The memory faded and Selene opened her eyes. She wiped the tears away as she stood up and walked down the hill.
AI=ll leave then, if he doesn’t love me any longer. I'll find someone else,A she said.
Two hours passed and she was deep in a forest, she coughed up blood and gripped a tree tightly as her body shook.
ANo... my wounds have reopened!A she thought, her eyes getting hazy from the loss of blood.
Demetri had returned to the camp with food and water. He looked at the hut Selene had left, not knowing she was gone and scoffed as he sat down.
AI=ll take some food to her,A Gabriel said as she grabbed some food and water.
She walked toward the hut and felt something wasn=t right. She walked inside and gasped, dropping the food and water.
AShe=s gone!A she said, running out of the hut.
Demetri didn=t speak as she growled and grabbed a sword. Demetri glanced at her and sighed as he closed his eyes.
AShe=s not in danger. I would have felt it, she just needs time to cool off and then she=ll come back,A he said.
Selene was gripping her wound, and then she heard something snap and spun around. There were five demons in front of her, growling with hunger as saliva dripped from their mouths. She gasped and started running as she tried to ignore the pain. One bit her leg as she yelped and kicked it off. They were catching up.
She gasped as she tripped over a root and fell to the ground. Her wound started bleeding badly. She heard growling and looked back as she gasped, eyes wide. The demons were walking up to her, but she couldn’t speak, scared and fearful for her life.
One jumped up and the others followed. She screamed loudly as one demon’s teeth bit into her arm. Demetri was still eating and stood up, walking toward the hut when he heard her terrified and painful scream. His eyes widened as he gasped and he ran into the forest.
He looked at his body and got puzzled. The others stopped and let him go on.

AWhy am I not feeling any pain?! I should be if she screamed!@ He whispered in worry and fear.
He ran faster, jumping over a rock and landed. He got up and ran faster, his breath labored as his legs carried him farther.
ASelene,A he thought sadly as he remembered the fight.
Selene was unconscious as the demons chewing on her arm, leg, and stomach. Demetri burst through some trees and gasped as his eyes widened, stopping in his tracks. In front of him were five demons eating at something. He growled and pulled out his sword angrily.
AOut of the way!@ He shouted as he killed them in one sweep, and then making his sword disappear.
He gasped as he went to his knees. In front of him was Selene, his Selene was covered in blood. She had blood seeping out of her chest, stomach wound, her arm had a hole in it, and her neck had a bite mark in it.
ASELENE!@ He shouted as he rushed toward her.
He held her bloody, torn body in his arms. Tears ran down his face as he felt for a heart beat or her breathing.
ASelene.... please... please don=t you die on me! Not again, not like this!A he pleaded as he started breathing his aura in her mouth.
It didn=t work and he tried five more time.
ASelene please, don=t do this to me. Don=t you leave me! Not again, please Selene OPEN YOUR EYES!@ He shouted, and tried again.
He put his aura in her wounds, it didn=t work. He tried five more times and it still didn=t work.
ASe... Selene. No Selene, please live, please my Selene! You can't do this to me, i'm begging you! Don't do this,A he cried, touching her cold cheek.
He held her cold, lifeless body against his chest as he cried harder. His body shook as he held her tighter and her head on his chest.
AI=m sorry... I=m so... so sorry. Selene... I didn=t mean anything of what I said to you. I love you... I love you so much. Please don=t.... don=t do this to me, open your eyes,A he cried as it started to rain.
The rain washed the blood off of the ground and a pool formed underneath him. He looked at her and put her gently on the ground. He pulled Bliss out of Calamity and raised it as tears continued to fall.
APlease save her. I=ll give you anything, just...@ Memories of Selene and him flashed through his head and then the fight. He clenched the sword tighter as he shook.
AJUST SAVE HER PLEASE!@ He shouted as he opened his eyes. He struck down as the sword glowed green.

Her body glowed green and the sword spoke to him sadly.
AKiss her before the light fades. I cannot do this a second time, hurry!@ She said.
He dropped the swords and rushed toward Selene, picking her body in his arms and putting his hand on her cheek. He leaned down and kissed her as he gripped her body to his tightly. The light began to fade away. Memories of Selene and him went through his head again as tears fell down his cheeks into her wounds. He trembled at the thought of losing her forever.
APlease work. Please, Selene, come back, back home, to me,A he thought, parting from her.
The light faded completely and moments passed, it was only a moment but it felt like an eternity to him. ASelene...no,A he whispered, crying into her chest as he gripped her body to his.
She didn=t move, no heart beating, she didn=t breath... nothing, she was gone.
@Se... Selene,A he cried, putting her head on her shoulder. ANo Selene come back, COME BACK TO ME!@ He screamed as he shook her softly, as he clenched the ground tightly.
AGail, you=ll pay... I=ll make you pay,A he growled, eyes glowing as anger took over now.
He set her on the ground gently.
ADemetri,A Bliss said sadly.
Demetri turned toward Bliss and picked the sword up, and then Calamity, broken and torn.
ABliss you can protect Selene=s body from demons, can=t you?@ He asked bangs over his eyes.
Bliss answered and Demetri put Bliss on Selene=s chest. He put her hand on the sword and stood up. He looked at her form and smiled sadly, she looked like she was asleep.
AProtect her Bliss, I=ll be back,A he said as he walked off.
He clenched Calamity tightly in anger as his teeth clenched.
AWhy... HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!@ he shouted as he cut five trees down, one by one as pictures of Selene flashed through his head.
He growled and Calamity growled too as he felt Demetri=s anger.
He raised his sword and struck, screaming in frustration and anger as he cut three down at once.
AGail!@ he growled as water went around him, crashing against the trees. AThis... Selene dying... the fight between us... IT WAS HIS ENTIRE FAULT, HE TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME!@ he shouted as the waves got wilder.

The water faded away, but his anger didn=t. He was pissed off, furious about her death, his Selene=s death and at Gail most of all. He ran through the forest as the rain poured down more.
AGail COME ON OUT! I KNOW YOU=RE HERE! FIGHT ME!@ He shouted as he glared at the sky.
He went to his knees as his anger faded away, but slightly. Sadness came over him and he clenched the dirt with his hands.
AI lost her. This was my fault... if... if I hadn=t said those things she... Selene would still be here. My Selene would still be here, alive,A he said as he cried harder.
A pulse went through him and he gripped his chest. He cried out in pain and he fell to the ground.
AYou bastard!A someone growled angrily.
Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped, recognizing the voice immediately. He looked up as he growled and saw Gail.
AGailA Demetri growled, low and dangerous as he clenched Calamity. What he felt now was true hatred, anger most of all and it showed in his eyes and face. He gripped Calamity tighter as Gail knelt down in front of him.
ASelene is dead and you took her away. Not from you... but from me... she was mine, body and soul,A Gail said angrily.
Demetri snapped and swung at him, cutting a huge mark across his chest. Gail yelped and stumbled back.
AYOU=RE WRONG!@ Demetri shouted as he charged at Gail.
Gail held up his sword and blocked it as he gasped at his strength.
Demetri struck at him, never letting up. He did a back flip as Gail struck at him. As soon as Demetri hit the ground he charged at Gail, pinning him against a tree by his chest and he coughed up blood.
ASelene was mine! She was my whole world... Gail, I=ll make you pay for her death, I swear my life on it,A Demetri growled pissed off as he leaned against Gail=s ear.
Gail growled and forced him back as Calamity growled. Demetri fended off Gail=s attacks, but got stabbed in the shoulder and yelped.
@We=re no match for Gail! without Bliss, we=ll die,A Calamity growled as he put up a barrier.
Demetri gripped his shoulder and panted, trying to keep the barrier up.
AThat=s fine with me, but I have to kill Gail before I dieA Demetri rasped and then coughed up blood.

Suddenly a huge blast hit Gail and he screamed as he hit a tree, getting three degree burns. Demetri looked to his left and gasped and his eyes widened. It was Selene, her wings out as she panted. She clenched Bliss and Armageddon tightly and charged at Gail. She merged her swords together and growled.
AGAIL!@ She screamed as she thrust her sword in the ground.
A huge blast went at Gail and he screamed as a sword hit his chest. He swiped and stabbed Selene in her chest. She gasped and pulled back as she pulled out a black whip like weapon.
ALet=s finish this,A she panted and blood dripping from her wounds.
ASeleneYno... He’ll kill you,A he thought as he reached for her.
She smirked and armor went to her feet, hands, legs and arms. She disappeared and Gail did too. Their swords clashed here and there, disappearing and reappearing as sparks flew. Gail and Selene forced themselves back and Selene put her other hand on her sword, concentrating her power in one blow.
Selene and Gail charged at each other as their swords glowed. Her aura turned into a golden dragon with ruby eyes and Gail=s turned into a black snake with red eyes. Their swords swung and blood poured. Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped and he rushed toward Selene. Selene had stabbed Gail in his heart and Gail had stabbed her three inches next to her heart.
Gail=s body disappeared in a black sparks and flew up in the air while disappearing. Selene sighed and fell backwards.
ASelene!@ Demetri shouted, catching her falling body.
She looked at him and put her hand on his chest. He put his hand on her cheek.
AI=m so sorry SeleneYI never meant those things,A he said sadly as tears formed in her eyes.
He leaned down and kissed her, she kissed back as she smiled. She moaned as his lips brushed against hers and he chuckled as he parted from her. She embraced him and he did too and sighed.
AI=m so glad you=re alive.... glad you came back home to me,A he cried on her shoulder.
He embraced her tighter to him. She looked sad and embraced him back. He never wanted to let her go ever again, the pain was too much.


Chapter 16

Nirvana and Loss


Fifteen years had passed and they had remained the same. Selene was wearing a white dress when she came out of a palace. Demetri was waiting for her in a field of flowers, wearing a black shirt and white pants. She saw him and ran toward him.
She embraced him and he embraced her as he spun her around. One hour passed and he was chasing her. She spun around as he was about to grab her and fell on the ground, smiling as her eyes closed.
AThe sun feels so good in this place,A she said as she opened her eyes.
He smiled and knelt down on one knee as he picked up her hand. She smiled and put her hand on his face. He put his hand on hers as she put it over his left eye. He smiled as he closed it.
AWhat are you looking at?@ She asked.
He opened his eyes and moved her hand to his cheek as he smiled. His eyes never left her face and neither did hers.
AJust looking at you. I want to engrave every moment with you,A he said.
He moved her hand to his chest and he put his hand on her cheek. ANothing is going to happen to me, I promise,A she said.
He wrapped his arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling each other closer. They parted and he got off of her. He held out his hand and she took it.
He helped her up and she embraced him as he embraced her back.
AI love you Selene,A he whispered.
AI love you too Demetri,A she said.
He chuckled and kissed her as she kissed back and they fell on the ground. Three hours passed and it was night. Demetri had his arms wrapped around Selene=s body and she had her head and arms on his chest as she slept. He smiled and traced her face, his hand slowly going on her face, and then down the side of her body, stopping at her hip and going back up.
ASelene I don=t want this moment to end. I want to stay with you forever,A he whispered in her hair.

An hour passed and she woke up, glancing at Demetri as he slept. She kissed his cheek and sat up. Suddenly the sky opened up and two angels came down to the ground. Selene put her shirt on as they walked toward her.
ASelene, come with us. The queen is dying and she wants to speak to you,A one said as he held out his hand.
Selene wrote a note to Demetri and left with the angels. Sol appeared as Demetri woke up and told him that Shin was dying. The angels opened a huge white door and Selene walked in. The door closed behind her and she saw the queen, she was pale and looked very weak.
She saw Selene and smiled as the queen sat up.
ACome here beside me Selene,A she said.
Selene walked toward the queen and knelt on the ground beside her as the queen grabbed her hand. Meanwhile Demetri was at Shin’s side as he smiled at him.
ADemetri I have to tell you something,A he said weakly as he smiled.
Demetri nodded and leaned down. Sol was crying and trying to keep it together.
ADemetri, I want you to be new king of the underworld,A he said.
Demetri=s eyes widened and Sol=s did too. The queen told Selene that she wanted her to be the ruler of heaven. Selene gasped as her eyes widened.
APlease Selene, you=ll have all my powers. I=m trusting you to lead the angels and kill demons in the final war,A she said.
Selene and Demetri nodded at the ruler’s requests and smiled sadly.
AI will,A they both said.
The queen of heaven and Shin smiled and their eyes closed. Selene stood up and the angels bowed in front of her, Demetri stood up and the demons bowed in front of him.
AYour highness, what is your wish?@ One angel said and a demon asked Demetri the same thing.
Selene and Demetri told them and they both sat at their thrones. Two years passed and Demetri and Selene had met several times (their kingdoms not knowing this). Even though they were both married against their wills, they met with each other briefly and very few times. One day Selene was running through a forest, a white robe on her.
It was winter and she smiled as she saw Demetri. He was wearing a black tank top, black pants. She had Bliss at her hip and Demetri had Calamity at his hip. Demetri saw her and stood up as he smiled.
She ran to him and embraced him as he embraced her back tightly.

ADemetri I=m so glad to see you, sorry I=m late. I had trouble getting out of my palace,A she said.
He stroked her hair as he smiled and looked at her.
@I missed you too Selene. It=s all right, the war won=t start for another year,A he said.
They went back to their palaces after talking to each other. Selene walked into her room and saw her husband. He rushed to her and embraced her as she embraced him back. He had black, short hair and blue eyes, he wore an Asian top and black pants.
AI=m glad your back,A he said, his tone worried and scared.
She looked at him in confusion as he led her to a room and shut the door. She gasped as she saw three angels on the floor.
AThey were attacked by five demons from the underworld, probably sent by Demetri,A her husband, Haser said.
Selene went by them and healed them. They looked at her and smiled and she smiled back.
AWhen?@ She asked Haser and stood up.
Five angels came in, Haser sighed and grabbed her hand. She looked at him as he sighed.
ALast night,A he said, gripping her hand tighter.
Selene looked away and sat down as she put hand over her eyes and sighed. Haser told the angels to leave him and Selene alone. They left and he walked toward her.
AIt couldn=t have been Demetri. He doesn=t want war to come, he wants to prevent it just like I do,A she thought.
Haser knelt down in front of her and kissed her hand. She looked at him as he looked at her.
ADon=t worry my love, I=ll take care of it,A he said.
She nodded and he picked her up. She gasped as they walked into their bedroom and he set her on the bed. He kissed her, but she pushed him away as he looked puzzled.
ANot know. We must kill the demon who did this,A she said as she turned away.
He nodded and went out of the room. She sighed as she stood up and jumped out of the window.
AHe couldn=t have sent those demons to attack my kind. I won=t believe it,A she thought, tears forming in her eyes.
Demetri had the same thing happen to his kind. He started running toward Selene.
AIt couldn=t have been her!A he thought.
Selene saw Demetri and ran toward him. Demetri reached her and embraced her as she gasped.

AIt wasn=t you, was it?@ She asked angrily.
He shook his head and put his hand on her cheek. She looked at him and cried into his chest. He embraced her tightly as he she did the same. One of his servants saw and gasped in shock.
AThis war is going to start soon. It=s going to tear you away from me! I don=t want it too!A she cried.
She gripped his chest tighter as she cried harder as he gripped her tighter. His eyes shut tightly and his hand stroked her hair.
AI know my love, I don=t want it too either. There will be death among both of our kingdoms,A he said as he slowly opened his eyes.
They looked at each other as he leaned down and kissed her. She kissed back and his servant gasped.
ASelene I love you. We=ll find a way to be together, even if it takes a thousand years, it will happen, I swear,A he said, parting from her.
They kissed again and he took off her dress as she took off his shirt. He pushed her on the ground and kissed her passionately. An hour passed and she had her arms and head on his chest. He had his arms wrapped around her tightly, rubbing her back as she whimpered in her sleep.
AIt=s alright Selene, it=s only a dream,A he whispered in her ear softly and comforting.
She slipped back into a peaceful slumber, snuggling up into his chest more. ADemetri,A she muttered.
He traced her face and body with his hand gently as he smiled.
AI love you Selene, we=ll be together. I promise,A he whispered as he stroked her hair.
He heard rustling in the bushes and sat up as he gripped Selene to him tighter. He grabbed his shirt and her dress as he picked her up and ran into the forest, stopping at a lake.
ASelene, wake up,A Demetri said in her ear and shook her gently.
She moaned and opened her eyes sleepily. She looked at Demetri and he had a worried look on his face.
AWhat=s wrong?@ She asked as he set her down and put on his shirt.
He looked behind a tree as he stood in front of her and handed Selene her dress. She put it on and touched his shoulder. He looked at her and she looked back in concern.
ASomeone saw us,A he growled, almost panicking.

A pulse went through her and she coughed up blood as she went to her knees.
ASelene!@ He shouted fearful as he picked her up in his arms.
She shook her head and smiled at him as he looked at her worried.
AI=m fine,A she said.
They heard a twig snap and spun around as Demetri pulled his sword out. He set her down and swung his sword. She gasped as an angel fell on the ground and Demetri=s eyes were wide.
ASelene... I... It was…@ he turned toward her as his breathing shook.
She looked at him and kissed him. He gasped as his eyes widened, and then kissed back.
AI know. I won=t hold it against you, but my kind will. A demon broke the peace treaty and we are now at war,A she said.
Suddenly Haser appeared behind her with five angels. Sol appeared beside Demetri with ten demons as she growled.
AHow dare you kiss my wife!@ Haser growled as he pulled his sword out and Selene gasped.
Sol grabbed Demetri=s arm and disappeared as the demons followed. AWe=re going to war, get ready!@ Haser growled.
The angels nodded and Selene grabbed her sword as Haser approached her.
ASelene if anything happens to me. I just want to tell you that I love you. I always have,A he said as he gripped her hand.
His other hand was on her cheek as he looked at her. She nodded as he kissed her, and then parted. He left the palace and the demons were getting ready. Sol was beside Demetri and they nodded at each other as they went separate ways.
ASelene please make it through this,A he thought, gripping the pendent on his neck she had given him in worry.
Selene was thinking the same as she looked at the stars and her wings came out. In two days war had broken out and almost all of the angels and demons had died. Selene met up with Demetri and told him the news. He sighed and they parted ways again.


Chapter 17

Decisions of Heart

It was midnight when Demetri walked back into his camp. The only ones of his kingdom left alive were Sol and three other demons. He jumped onto a high tree branch and sat on it as he sighed, looking at the stars. He put his hand over his eyes as teeth and hands clenched, trembling with fear.

AI want there to be a time when we could be together, to feel the water and wind under our feet,A he remembered Selene saying.
He remembered his reply as he had held her in his arms.
AI know Selene. There will be a time, it will happen, I swear my life on it,A he said, parting from her.
He sighed in the tree as he trembled and his eyes opened sadly. He thought of Selene and wondered if she was alright.
AI know,A he said sadly.
Sol heard him as she woke up and walked toward the tree. She put her hand on her heart and looked at him.
ADemetri,A she thought sadly.
She couldn=t bare seeing him suffering like this, even though he was now her husband. He was still her friend and she knew he loved Selene.
ADemetri I know how you feel, but... One of our kinds has to die, either the demons or the angels. One has to be killed for the war to be over. You understand that, don=t you?@ She thought as the wind started blowing against her and him slowly.
Back at the angel’s camp, Selene was looking out a window as she leaned against the window sill. Heras was asleep in the bed a foot behind her and she sighed sadly. There were only four angels remaining in her camp, herself, Heras, and two other angels. She remembered the words Demetri and herself had spoken two months ago.
That was the last time they spoke or saw each other. Her eyes filled up with tears as her hand gripped the window tightly as she let a quiet sob escape her.
ADemetri I miss you so much. I just want this war to be over. I want to see you, feel you against me again,A she whispered sadly.
Heras stirred and opened his eyes sleepily. He looked to his left and saw Selene, gripping her chest. He stood up and walked over to her.
ASelene, what=s wrong?@ He asked in worry.
She gasped lightly and looked at him. He looked sad and wiped the tears away as she shook her head. He embraced her as she gasped and her eyes widened.
APlease Selene, tell me what=s wrong,A he muttered sadly as his eyes opened.
She got out of his grasp and sat on the window as he stood in front of her.
AI just want this war to end. No more people dying, no demon either, just to be peaceful again,A she said.

He sighed and sat beside her and gripped her hand as she gripped back. He smiled and put his hand on her face.
AWe=ll get through this, once we kill every demon. We=ll go somewhere. We=ll be at peace just you and I, I promise,A he said.
She forced a smile and he smiled as he kissed her. Demetri felt her pain, her sadness and then how he kissed her as he growled, tightening his grip on the tree.
AHow dare he kiss her! If I ever encounter him during this battle, I=ll make him regret ever touching my girl, my precious Selene !@ He thought.
Sol had gone to bed and he stayed in the tree, thinking of Selene and his memories of her. Heras was walking back to bed when he stopped and turned toward Selene.
AAre you coming back to bed?@ He asked.
AI think I=ll stay here a bit longer,A she said as she stared at the stars.
She smiled as she thought of Demetri and her memories with him, the happy times they had with each other. Two days later the angels and demons went different ways. Selene was walking through a deep forest as she had her sword in hand. Suddenly one of Demetri=s demons appeared and attacked.
She grunted as she blocked its sword, sliding backwards. She screamed as it stabbed her chest and went backwards. She rolled to the side as it hit the ground with its sword. It struck again as she jumped back and chopped its arm off.
It howled and stabbed its sword through her chest, pinning her to a tree. She gasped as her eyes widened, and then coughed up blood.
AThis demon... he=s stronger than an immortal. He made my attacks slow down!A she thought as blood ran down her mouth and chest.
The demon made another weapon appear in its hand and raised it. She looked at it. It smirked and swung down and she closed her eyes.
AIt Looks like I=m going to die here,A she thought sadly.
A picture of Demetri flashed through her mind, and then a lot of memories as she smiled sadly.
AI=m sorry Demetri, I won=t make it. I love you,A she thought.
She closed her eyes and waited for the blow, but it never came.
Instead she heard a sickening crack and a howl. She opened her eyes and gasped.
ADe... Demetri!@ she said in shock.
His aura was around him and his hand was through the demons chest. He growled as his eyes glowed lightly.
ADid you not hear me clear enough?! I said you can kill anyone but Selene or Heras!@ Demetri growled at the demon.

He ripped his hand out of its chest and it fell to the ground, decaying quickly. He turned toward Selene and his eyes went back to normal. His eyes widened as he gasped in shock.
ASelene!@ he said as he rushed toward her in worry.
He pulled the sword out of her chest. She screamed and he went to his knee, holding her in his arms.
ASelene, are you alright?@ He asked.
She smiled at him and nodded as her wound started healing. He smiled and leaned down she closed her eyes. He was almost about to kiss her when he felt a sword at his neck. He glanced behind him, smelling who it was.
ADon=t you dare kiss my wife,A Heras growled angrily.
Selene opened her eyes and saw him. He growled and pushed his sword against Demetri=s throat. Demetri glanced back and glared at Heras.
ANow let her go,A Heras growled.
Demetri let Selene go and she stood up as her hands went to her chest. She was worried for Demetri as her eyes started to glaze over with tears a little.
Heras grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. He grabbed his sword with both hands.
AYou=ll pay for touching my wife!A Heras growled.
Demetri chuckled and Heras growled angrily. Demetri grabbed his sword and slashed at Heras as he backed up. An aura went around Demetri and Heras had one around him too.
AThat=s is my line. Before she was forced to marry you, she and I were lovers. How dare you touch her with your filthy hands!@ Demetri growled.
Heras and Demetri disappeared and Selene gasped as their swords clashed.
ADemetri!@ She shouted, scared for his life.
Heras forced Demetri back and he crashed into a tree as Selene rushed toward him. Heras stabbed his sword in Demetri=s chest and he growled.
@That may be, but she and I love each other now. Even though we share the same bed, share the same feelings, the only thing she thinks about is me, not you!A Heras growled in his ear.
He forced his sword deeper into Demetri. He screamed and his head hung. Heras growled and Selene embraced him as she cried.
AHeras stop it! Please don=t kill the man I love!@ She shouted as she clutched him tightly.
Heras snapped and pushed Selene to the ground. She gasped as his sword went to her chest, rage on his face.
AYou love him!@ He shouted angrily.

Selene looked at Demetri, his head still hung as blood ran down him. She looked at Heras as he growled and nodded.
ASelene how could you... He=s a worthless demon. You=re an angel, angels kill demons. You cannot fall in love with one!@ He shouted, raising his sword.
She gasped at the look in his eyes.
AI have no choice. A traitor angel needs to be put down,A he said.
He swung his sword and Selene closed her eyes, feeling a sword strike her arm and another one coming at her. She opened her eyes when she didn=t feel any pain and gasped as her eyes widened in shock. Demetri was standing beside Selene, Heras=s sword in his hand. Demetri had blood going down him as he panted.
AThere=s no way in hell, I=m letting you kill Selene!@ Demetri growled, glaring at Heras with a murderous glare.
Heras growled and swung as Demetri ducked and thrust his hand foreword. Selene gasped as blood spilled and Heras dropped his sword, coughing up blood. Demetri had stabbed Heras through his chest and his hand covered in blood. Heras glared at him and his eyes closed slowly.
Demetri pulled his hand out of him and his body fell foreword, and then decayed fast.
ADemetri,A Selene whispered as he looked at him.
He looked at her and his eyes went back to normal as he smiled. His eyes widened as he coughed up blood. He went to his knees and fell foreword as Selene gasped. She rushed toward his falling body as his eyes slowly closed.
ADEMETRI!@ She shouted, catching his body in her arms and going to her knees.
She flipped his body in her arms, her right hand under his back, and her left on his chest. He opened his eyes and looked at her as rain began to fall. She put her left hand on his hand on that was on her cheek. Moments passed as Selene cried and Demetri tried to calm her, but it wasn=t working.
AShhhh, Selene please don=t cry like that. Please,A he whispered sadly.
She shook her head as more tears fell on his chest and face. He leaned up, hissing in pain and kissed her. She gasped as her eyes widened in shock. Demetri was gripping his wound tightly, blood running down his mouth.
He parted and hissed in pain as she laid him back against her arm.

ABetter now?@ He asked as he caressed her cheek softly.
She laughed lightly and nodded as he smiled. An hour passed and they were still like that, waiting for his wound to heal. It healed slowly as they watched the stars. Five stars shot across the sky and her eyes glowed brightly as he watched her.
ADemetri look over there!@ She said, pointing toward a waterfall and a river.
Above it, in the sky, was a lunar rainbow as the water glowed underneath it. He looked that way and smiled.
AHey, Selene?@ He asked, looking at the rainbow.
She looked at him and smiled as the moonlight hit her. He looked at her and sighed a little.
ALet=s make a promise between you and I. That we=ll stay together, no matter what happens,A he said.
She nodded and his wound was healed as he cupped her cheeks in his hands. He leaned up and kissed her, his lips gentle on her. She moaned a little as his lips brushed against hers, and then he kissed her passionately. He pushed her on the ground and took off her shirt as she took of his, kissing each other more.
Two hours passed and Demetri was on his back as he sighed. Selene had her head and arms on his chest as she slept. He smiled as he wiped her hair out of her head. He laid there, looking at her and smiled as he watched her breathe.
ASelene once this war is over, we=ll be at peace,A he thought.
Five days passed and he was captured, wounded from a previous battle. He was brought to Selene=s house in a carriage as a man told Selene about it and she rushed out of the house.
ADemetri,A she whispered, holding back tears as she saw the condition he was in.
ALady Selene, you will fight to the death with him. We will win this war with you leading us,A the man said.
They took him to an open space by a river and Selene faced him. They stood there for a moment in silence as they looked at each other.
@Demetri,A she whispered, the wind picking up and blowing her hair in front of her.
He looked at her and pulled out his sword. She gasped as her eyes widened when a pulse going through her.

ATrust me, we=ll run away together,A he thought to her as he smiled.
She grunted as she blocked his attack, and then went to her knees at the impact.
ADe... Demetri,A she grunted.
She coughed up blood and his eyes widened as he gasped. She forced him back and she stood up slowly. He was falling backwards as she raised her sword with both hands.
AGoodbye Demetri. I love you remember that,A she said, tears running down her face as she smiled.
Demetri gasped as his eyes widened, he couldn=t hear anything other than his beating heart. Time seemed to slow down for him as she closed her eyes and plunged the sword down. He reached his hand to her.
ASELENE!!@ He screamed, watching the sword going toward her chest, fear and terror on his face.
Selene smirked and turned around as she summoned Armageddon in her hand. Demetri sat there in shock as she glanced back at him.
“You had a plan, right?” she asked as she smirked more.
Demetri nodded and stood up as he summoned Calamity. One angel took a step forward and clenched his teeth. Demetri gripped Selene’s hand and looked at her as she growled.
“Your highness, what are you doing! You have to kill this last demon so the world can be at peace. So that this war can be-“ he started to say.
“I will abide to these duties no longer!” she shouted as she glared at the angel in fury. “I will not kill the man I love. If the higher power kills me for it, then so be it!”
The angels rushed at her and she held up her sword. Demetri suddenly appeared in front of her and sent them flying back. He picked Selene in his arms and rushed toward the forest as fast as he could. Two of the elders came after her and she growled as she got out of Demetri’s arms.
“Selene! What are you doing!” Demetri shouted at her.
“You’re in no shape to be fighting them Demetri. I will handle them, just go!” She shouted as she pulled Armageddon out.
“No! You can’t take them on by yourself!” he protested.
“GO NOW!” she growled at him as she let Armageddon take over her body.
Demetri nodded and ran off toward a temple. Selene turned toward the elders and growled angrily. The elders rushed at her and she blocked one as the other went behind her. She forced the other one back and spun around, cutting the other elder in the shoulder.
The elder screamed as Selene disappeared and reappeared behind the other elder. The elder turned around and Selene slashed down his chest. He screamed fell back beside the elder who had gotten slashed in the shoulder. Selene put Armageddon back in its sheath as he let go of his control over her body.
“I will spare both of your lives, but be warned,” she glared at them both as her eyes turned hazy. “You try to hurt or kill Demetri and I will make sure to execute you both.”
She rushed off toward where Demetri headed toward as her eyes went back to normal. The elder helped the other elder up and they looked after Selene as rain clouds moved in overhead.
“I fear that our highness is becoming more demon than a fallen angel more than she realizes” one of them said as rain started to fall.
Selene reached the temple in an hour’s time and sighed. Demetri appeared behind her and draped his cape around her shoulders as she jumped.
“Thank you Demetri,” she whispered as she smiled.
They went over by the fire and sat down as silence followed between them. The fire crackled before either one of them spoke.
“Selene I’m sorry,” Demetri said as he looked at the fire.
“Why?” she asked as she looked at him.
He looked away as he stood and walked toward the temple entrance.
“If it wasn’t for me… your kind would not be after you now.” He whispered sadly as his hand clenched tight and she walked behind him.
“Demetri…” she said sadly as she held her hand to her chest.
He noticed some black marks on her arm and took her arm in his hand.
“What are these marks?” he asked her as he looked at her.
“They make me queen of heaven, but they will disappear soon” she said smiling.
They went by the fire to sleep and Selene clutched her arm.
“I can not tell him about these,” she closed her eyes. ”They are not what they appear to be or they are not what I just told him.”

Chapter 18

Marks of a traitor

Selene woke up several hours later and looked at her arm. The marks were gone as she sighed and walked toward the entrance of the temple. She watched the rain pour as she looked at Armageddon. She sat down and closed her eyes as she went to talk to Armageddon.
She was in a place with a bunch of trees and a purple and red lake. She saw Armageddon in its dragon form as it looked at her.
“Armageddon I need to ask you something,” she asked as she sat down.
Armageddon looked at her and sighed as it looked at her arm. Selene looked at him and looked at her arm. She closed her eyes as she pulled her knees to her chest.
“What is happening to me?” she whispered fearfully.
Armageddon looked at her arm and sniffed it as his eyes widened. He looked at her and she looked back fearfully.
“Do you remember when Gail was making you drink that black stuff?” he asked.
“Yes, but that was only to make me evil and turn dark. The moment I died was when it disappeared from my body,” she told him.
Armageddon shook his head and sighed as he closed his eyes. Selene clutched her arm and saw the mark spread.
“Did you forget the rule that you angels have. What it does to you if you break it?” he asked practically growling.
Selene tried to remember, but couldn’t and shook her head. He sighed and touched her head with his tail. She gasped as her vision went white and she blacked out. He set her down gently with his tail
Selene was walking down a white hall in her past. This was when she got her first mission as an angel to go to the human world. She knelt down in front of a throne and the queen smiled at her gently.
“Selene you know all of the rules that angels must follow. I am going to tell you the most important one, one that you must never break,” the queen said.
Selene looked up at her and nodded as the queen touched her shoulder. A black mark appeared for a second on her skin, but disappeared.
“You must never kill humans. If you do the angels will be after you and you will turn into a fallen angel,” the queen said sadly.
Selene sprang up as the memory faded and looked at her sword. He growled and she silenced him by putting her hand on the sword.
“What have I done, Armageddon?” she whispered shakily.
She heard Demetri stir and looked toward him. Armageddon growled and she looked at it. Demetri opened his eyes and sat up as Selene gripped another black mark that appeared on her arm. Armageddon hid the marks and she smiled at her sword.
“Thank you, Armageddon,” she muttered under her breath as Demetri walked up behind her.
“What are you doing out here?” he asked as he sat by her. “You’ll catch a cold.”
She looked at him and put her head on his shoulder.
“Just enjoying the rain” she whispered.
She looked at the rain as it poured down outside. Demetri wrapped his arms around her as she shivered. She snuggled into him as his grip tightened around her.
“How long will this last? This peace with him” she asked herself as she closed her eyes.
She looked at Armageddon and it growled gently as she put her hand on it. Calamity growled and Demetri put his hand on it.
“Armageddon you knew what Gail’s intentions were before me,” she closed her eyes as she thought to him. “Will you tell me what they were? What was that black stuff going to do to me if I had kept taking it?”
Her sword glowed a little and then faded away. Demetri and Selene went back to the fire to get warm.
“Demetri I love you,” she whispered as they laid by the fire.
“I love you too Selene,” he replied as he dozed off.
Selene gripped her arm as another mark appeared on her arm and Armageddon hid it. Selene closed her eyes and met with him as he saw her walking toward him.
“I want you to tell me what Gail’s plan was,” she demanded him.
In heaven the two elders who were attacked by Selene were walking in a long, white hallway with gold trimmings on it. Golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling, lighting their pathway.
“Why are we going to see him?! We can take Selene by ourselves and the others!” The elder, Chastity growled.
“Would you want to risk the other angels’ lives to just kill Selene? She’s much too strong and dangerous of what she’s becoming!” the other elder, Rian shouted.
“I know that! But I refuse to seek any aid from that thing,” Chastity looked away and toward two stone columns. “Besides the highest power isn’t completely an angel, nor completely a demon.”
Rian knew that Chastity was right. The highest power, the one that governed the angels, wasn’t completely an angel, nor a half angel. They walked into a white room and it was dark. They saw a man with one angel wing and one bat like wing with glowing green cat eyes.
Rian and Chastity knelt down as the man approached them. They noticed he had scales on his body as he stopped in front of them.
“Why did you disturb me?” he asked in a low growl.
“We need your help,” Rian pleaded.
“My help?” he lifted Rian with his tail by his throat. He brought him to his face as he growled a little. “Why?”
“W-with Selene,” Rian gasped and chocked.
The man dropped him to the ground as it glanced at Chastity. Rian gripped his throat, coughing and gasping for air. Chastity shivered with fear as the man looked at him.
“His pressure is amazing. I cannot even breathe. It’s like he’s going to kill me!” Chastity thought fearfully.
Rian looked at the man and Chastity looked down at the floor. The man closed his eyes and opened them a moment later, his tail swishing.
“Alright, but you have to find her first,” he said calmly.
“Yes sire,” Rian bowed as he trembled.
The elder’s left the room and Chastity fell to the floor on his hands and knees. Rian looked at him and knelt down in front of him.
“That monster can’t be the one that governs the angels!” he looked up at Rian. “It can’t! That man is not pure! Its desires are heartless and evil!”
Rian struck his cheek with his fist and Chastity fell to the ground in shock. Rian stood up and sighed as Chastity looked at him.
“He was once pure, but the war changed him,” Rian said.
Chastity stood up and they walked to Rian’s room. Rian lit the fireplace as Chastity sat down.
“How though,” Chastity looked at Rian. “How did the war change him?”
Rian sat in the chair opposite of Chastity and looked at him as the light lit up half the room.
“Not precisely the war. It was a sword that had poison on it,” Rian closed his eyes, remembering what happened.
“Poison? Poison doesn’t affect angels, not any kind of it does!” Chastity stood up as his fists shook. “We already-“
“WE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE!” Rian shouted at Chastity angrily.
Chastity growled and left the room as Rian looked after him. His door slammed and Rian slumped back into the chair.
“We didn’t know,” he whispered quietly as he closed his eyes.
“Prepare yourselves angels! We will win this war!” the man said triumphantly.
“Your Majesty look out!” Rian shouted as he raced toward him.
The man turned around, but only in time to see the sword pierce his chest. He gasped in pain as he reached for the sword’s handle. He fell back as he saw purple, blackish liquid seep into his wound from the sword’s tip.
“Your majesty!” Rian shouted as he lifted the man’s head up.
The king looked at him and coughed as Rain looked at him helplessly. The king pulled out the sword with a sharp gasp and dropped it beside him. His breathing came out in short breaths as his heart rate increased.
“Ri-rian?” the king gasped for air.
“Yes your majesty?” Rian asked as he gripped the king’s hand.
“G-get the a-angels out of h-here” he rasped as he clutched his wound.
“But sire-“ Rain started to say.
“NOW!” the king growled as his eyes changed to green like a cat’s.
Rian led everyone away and locked the king up in a room as he was instructed. Ten minutes pass and Rian saw the horrible transformation the king had taken. He now longer looked like the angels majesty, but a wicked demon in angel form.
Rian opened his eyes slowly as the memory faded and stood up. He was helpless to stop the sword from stabbing the king, now he was a monster because of his mistake.
“If only it had been me to take the blow,” Rain muttered under his breath as he fell asleep in bed.
Night had fallen and Demetri woke up. He glanced at Selene on his chest and wrapped his arms around her.
“I wonder how long this will last with her?” he asked himself as he sat up.
He stood up and walked to the entrance of the temple. He looked at Calamity and grabbed it as he closed his eyes. He was in a place full of grass and a lake. He saw Calamity in front of him and he pet the tiger.
“Calamity. What should I do from here?” he looked away as wind blew his hair. “We can’t stay here for the rest of our days.”
“Be on guard Demetri. I sense something coming this way,” Calamity growled as Demetri snapped back to reality.
Demetri sense someone with a strong pressure approaching. Selene sprang up as she felt it and trembled. Demetri walked to her and knelt down.
“Selene? What’s wrong?” he asked as he grabbed her shoulders.
Selene chuckled hoarsely and in fear as her bangs went over her eyes.
“The elders didn’t are not strong enough to kill me… so they sent the high power to do it,” she muttered shakily.
Demetri grabbed her in his arms and started to run deeper into the temple. Selene looked at him and then at the temple entrance.
“I won’t let you be killed!” he growled as he ran into a red room.
He shut the door and bolted it up. He turned toward Selene as Calamity growled. She had her hand on Armageddon tightly as she shook and it growled.
“Selene?” Demetri asked as he looked at her.
“Yes, Demetri?” she replied shakily.
“What is the high power?” he asked as he walked toward her.
Suddenly the door burst inwards and Demetri was slammed into the wall by the door. Dust was all around as Selene looked for Demetri. She saw his face and took a step toward him.
“Demet-“ she started to shout.
She was suddenly gripped at her throat by a hand. The man pulled her face to his as she chocked and struggled against him. It was the king and Selene’s eyes widened as she saw him.
“Selene!” Demetri shouted as he pushed the door out of his way.
The man looked at Demetri as he pulled out Calamity. The man’s tail shot toward Demetri, but Demetri blocked it quickly. Selene’s vision was fading as her breathing became shallow.
“Selene!” Demetri glared at the man with hatred and anger. “Let her go!”
Demetri grunted as the man’s tail went through his chest. The man threw Demetri into the wall hard as he chuckled.
“De-Demetri…” Selene struggled to get out.
She grabbed Armageddon and struck upwards. The man caught it and threw it aside in the blink of an eye. Demetri crawled out of the rubble as he coughed up blood. She looked at him as her vision went hazy.
The man pulled out a dagger and glanced at Demetri. He squeezed Selene’s throat tighter as she tried to take in more air. Demetri stood up, Calamity still in his hand, as he gripped his wound.
“It’s getting harder to walk,” Demetri caught himself as he coughed more. “What the hell did he do to me?”
The man pulled his hand back that had the dagger in it. Demetri’s eyes widened as he struggled to stand up. The man grinned sinisterly as he looked at Selene.
“DON’T!” Demetri shouted as he reached his out to her and forced his legs to move.
The dagger pierced her chest as Demetri screamed her name. Her eyes widened as blood ran down her cheek.
“SELENE!” Demetri went to his knees in shock. “NO!!”
The man threw her through the wall into the next room and glanced at Demetri. Demetri glared at the man as he growled angrily.
“You bastard!” Demetri growled with hatred as he stood up.
He charged at the man as Calamity’s chain wrapped around him tightly. He swung upwards and the man disappeared. Demetri gasped and spun around as he struck the man in the chest. The man growled and hit Demetri in the chest, sending him flying into the wall.
“You’re much too weak,” the man said as his wound healed.
“I… I’m not done yet,” Demetri rasped as he stood up wobbly.
He looked at Selene sadly as he clenched his hands. Her eyes were pale and lifeless and that infuriated him even more. He disappeared and punched the man in the jaw. He followed up by dropping to his knees and kicking him in the jaw hard.
The man hit the ceiling and fell back down. Demetri slashed him across the chest and sent him flying into the wall. Demetri panted hard as he saw the man’s body.
“I… I did it,” Demetri rasped.
He heard the man chuckle and his eyes widened in shock. The man stood up without a scratch on him.
“No, I hit him!” Demetri thought as he remembered how deep the slash was.
The man popped his jaw back into place and smirked as his eyes glowed.
“My turn,” he growled.
He disappeared and then reappeared behind Demetri. Demetri started to turn around, but was thrown into a wall. Demetri coughed as the dust swirled around him as he sat up. He gasped as the man appeared in front of him in an instant.
“He’s too strong!” Demetri clutched Calamity and formed a barrier around him. “I don’t know if I can kill him.”
The man broke the barrier and slammed Demetri into the ground. Demetri grunted and the man disappeared. He struggled to get on his knees as he panted heavily. Demetri froze and looked up, but was kicked across the room with the man’s knee.
Demetri landed beside Selene’s body and he coughed up blood.
“Damn it!” he growled angrily at himself.
He heard footsteps approaching and looked at Selene. The footsteps stopped and Demetri swung as he turned around. His eyes widened as the man’s tail went through his stomach. Demetri screamed as the man’s tail withdrew quickly.
Demetri went to his knees as he clutched his wound.
“This blow will finish you,” the man pulled back his hand. “I cannot fathom why they had so much trouble with her.”
Memories of himself and Selene flashed through his mind one last time.
“Selene I’m sorry,” he closed his eyes slowly. “I couldn’t protect you at all. I’m weak just like he said. Please, forgive me”
Demetri let go of Calamity and it clattered to the floor next to Selene.
Chapter 19

Awakening

The man thrust his hand at Demetri and he put his head down. A hand suddenly gripped the man’s hand, stopping the attack as the man’s eyes widened a little. Demetri opened his eyes and they widened in shock.
“Se-Selene!” he whispered in shock.
Selene growled deeply and tightened her grip on the man’s arm. She threw him into a wall and stood up. Demetri looked at her and saw that she didn’t have Armageddon unsheathed. She rushed at the man and kicked gripped his neck as she raised her hand.
“Selene stop!” Demetri shouted as he tried to stand up.
Selene thrust her hand down and tore in through the man’s arm. The man broke her arm and she screamed. The man’s arm healed and he sent her flying back into a wall.
“Selene!” Demetri shouted as he stood up.
His eyes widened as he saw black marks all the way up her arm. They looked like claw marks and her eyes were glowing blue. She rushed at the man and struck at the man left and right. The man dodged quickly and Selene tore her hand through his stomach as the man grunted.
Selene tugs her hand out and slams the man into the ground. A black mark appears on her neck and she growls angrily. She pounds the man into the ground deeper as she punches him in the stomach. The man screamed as Selene struck him with her hand.
Selene grins sinisterly and the man knees her in the stomach, sending her flying through the wall and into the adjoining room. The man stood up and wiped the blood off his chin. His wound wasn’t healing and he gripped it.
“You can’t even speak can you, former angel?” he asked as he walked toward Selene.
Demetri got in front of him with his sword out as he panted. The man glared at him and Selene rushed at him out of the rubble. She punched the man in the face and He went back.
“Selene why are….!” His eyes widened at what he saw. “Se…Selene!”
Selene’s teeth were sharp and she knock him aside with her hand. He coughed as he sat up and gripped his arm. The man charged at her and he pinned her against the wall.
“So this is why the elder’s asked me to kill you,” he smirked and leaned toward her ear. “You’re becoming like a demon.”
Selene tried to get out of his grasp and the man punched her in the stomach, making her faint. He stepped back and let her fall to the ground as her wounds healed up.
“I pity you, Selene,” he whispered and glanced at Demetri.
Demetri stood up as he coughed and glared at the man. The man sighed and began to fade away.
“I will let her live for now,” he looked at her as his chest faded away. “I want to fight her when she’s completely turned. When she has her reasoning, instead of being a blood lustful beast I will kill her.”
Demetri made his way to Selene and he grabbed her hand. He pulled her into his arms and saw the marks began to fade away. He glared at Armageddon as it glowed red.
“You were the one that was hiding her marks,” he growled as he grabbed the sword. “Why!?”
The sword growled at him, but kept silent. Demetri tossed the sword over by a pile of rubble and Selene’s marks came back.
“Selene,” he touched her cheek and then sighed. “Why did you hide these from me? Do you not trust me enough?”
An hour passed and Selene woke up as she moaned. Demetri looked at her and caressed her cheek sadly. She looked at him and knew that he had seen the marks on her arm and looked away from him.
“Where did that man go?” she asked as she remembered her getting stabbed and then nothing after that.
“He went away,” he remembered what she had looked like when she was fighting him. “What happened to you earlier when you were fighting him?”
“I got stabbed and that’s the last thing I remember,” she said as she looked at him sadly.
She grabbed her arm and pinned her on the ground angrily. She gasped when he did that and looked at him.
“Why did you hide these marks from me?! I thought you trusted me!” he looked away and then back at her. “I’m your lover, don’t you trust me?”
“Of course I do! It’s just,” she looked at her arm. “I don’t know what’s happening to me.”
Demetri let her go and walked away. Selene sat up and looked at the black marks on her arm and the one that appeared on her neck. She picked up Armageddon and clutched it to her chest tightly. She remembered the conversation she had with her sword earlier.
“Tell me what Gail’s plans were for me, she demanded.
Armageddon looked at her and he sighed as she walked toward him.
“You may not like the truth,” he said.
“I want to know Armageddon, my sword,” she spoke.
He nodded and she sat by him as the water in front of them rippled. He knew the truth would make her shaky, make her unstable, nut he knew he had to obey her demands.
“Gail wanted to make you evil, you know this,“ he looked at her. “You are already a fallen angel because you were evil and killed many people.”
She looked away when he said killed. Gail had turned her evil and killing those people was not her fault.
“The black stuff that he made you drink gradually turned you more evil,” he told her.
“I know that, but it disappeared when I was killed,” she looked at the lake. “It disappeared from my body as well.”
“Not all of it,” he said and her eyes widened. “Some of it is still in your soul. That is part of you now.”
“W-what?” she whispered in a shaky tone.
“You will slowly become evil again,” he touched her shoulder with his tail. “You will either die from it or become a blood thirsty demon.”
Selene hugged her knees to her chest as she shook. Her sword growled a little and she looked at it as tears filled her eyes.
“Does Demetri know, Armageddon?” she asked her sword.
“He does not,” he replied.
Selene nodded and stood up shakily. She walked out of the temple and to a lake, night had already fallen as she walked.
“I don’t want to die, but,” she gripped her sword tight. “I don’t want to become a demon either. Is there any way to stop it?”
“No. Selene I am sorry, but nothing can help you or save you this time,” he replied.
Selene sat her sword against a tree and looked at the moon.
“I see,” she muttered sadly.
She undressed and walked into the lake to clean herself off. The black marks appeared again and she looked away from her arm as she hugged herself tightly.
“I don’t want this!” she thought angrily.
Meanwhile Demetri was still inside the temple as he looked around. He had cooled off a while ago, but the fact still remained that she had hid something from him yet again. He clawed the wall beside him in anger as he growled. Calamity growled softly and he looked at him.
“Calm down Demetri,” it told him.
“Calamity stay out of this!” he growled angrily.
He started to walk out of the room as his anger rose. Calamity wrapped its chains around him and he fell on the ground.
“Calamity release me!” he shouted as he tried to get out.
“I will not!” Calamity growled angrily, making Demetri stop.
Calamity tightened the chains and Demetri let out a cry of pain. He glared at his sword as he growled again.
“You should not be acting like this!” Bliss shouted at him.
“She lied to me again! She dosen’t trust me completely and has lied to me yet again!” he sighed and closed his eyes. “What would you have me do?”
Calamity loosed its chains just a little so Demetri could move his hands. He opened his eyes and looked toward the temple entrance.
“She does not want you to be burden with her problems,” Calamity told him calmly.
“I’m her lover. She should let me help her with her problems, I couldn’t bare seeing her unhappy,” he spoke as his anger faded away.
“She needs you now more than ever, Demetri,” Bliss said and released the chains hold on him.
“What do you mean?” he asked as he glanced at Bliss.
“Ask her yourself when you see her,” she said and the chain disappeared.
Demetri stood up and walked out of the temple as the night air hit him. He remembered when Selene and he went on walks on nights like this. The breeze felt good on his skin, cooling the anger that he had been feeling earlier.
“Selene,” he thought as he walked through the trees.
He saw her in the lake ahead of him and walked toward her. She was washing her hair slowly and he stopped when he noticed dry tear stains on her cheeks. He took of his shirt and walked into the water.
“Selene,” he said as she jumped.
She spun around and looked at him sadly. He took her hand in his and walked closer to her. She looked at him as the wind blew and she shivered. He pulled her to his chest tightly as her eyes widened.
“Selene tell me what’s wrong,” he looked into her sad blue eyes. “What are you not telling me?”
Tears flowed down her cheeks as she looked at him. He put her head against his chest as she cried. Her body trembled and shook as more sobs came from her lips.
“Demetri I’m so sorry… so sorry,” she cried as she put her hands on his chest.
“Don’t apologize,” he stroked her hair softly. “You don’t need to.”
A minute passed as she cried on his chest and she looked up at him. He wiped her tears away with his thumb and smiled a little.
“Demetri I’m going to die or become a demon,” more tears flowed down her cheeks. “Because Gail gave me that black stuff I’m-“
He kissed her gently to silence her as her eyes widened. He parted from her and caressed her cheek gently.
“I won’t let that happen. I’ll find a way to stop it, I promise,” he whispered gently in her ear.
She nodded and hugged him tightly as he hugged her back. A half an hour passed and they were walking toward the temple. He gripped her hand in his as he felt her uncertainty. She looked at him as they stopped and Demetri looked at her.
“What is it?” he asked her.
She shook her head and smiled as the wind blew her hair.
“It’s nothing,” she told him.
He nodded and they walked into the temple. He started a fire and she sat down. He wrapped his arms around her and held him to his chest as the warmth hit them.
“Selene I swear I’ll protect you,” she looked at him. “Even if you become a demon, I’ll still love you.”
She smiled and fell asleep in his arms. He stroked her hair as she slept and his grip tightened on her.
“What if you can’t stop her from becoming a demon?” Calamity asked him.
“I don’t know. But I have to try,” he replied quietly as he fell asleep beside her.


Chapter 20

Quickening


Morning came and Selene woke up as the sun hit her face. She saw Demetri beside her and shivered, making Demetri tighten his hold on her instinctively. She looked at him and slipped out of his arms quietly without waking him. She walked toward the castle entrance, but stopped a pulse went through her.
She gripped her arm as she clenched her teeth. Three more marks appeared on her arm and she went to her knees.
“W-what’s happening?!” she thought as she fell to the floor.
Her wings came out, one was an angel wing, and the other looked like a bat wing. Her eyes widened as she saw them and gasped.
“So its begun,” Armageddon growled. “Your transformation.”
Selene clenched her teeth as the pain increased. Her right eye turned red and her left one stayed blue. Her nails got sharper and her teeth did as well as she growled. She gripped her sword and he sealed it back up, making her return to normal.
“Selene if you ever let me leave your side, you will transform into a demon,” he growled angrily.
Selene nodded and fainted on the floor with her hand on her sword. An hour passed and she woke up, sighing in relief when she saw Demetri still asleep. She put her sword at her hip and walked toward the lake.
“Will I ever be able to change back if I become half demon?” she asked her sword.
“Yes, but I will have to seal it up again,” he replied.
She nodded and continued to walk for hours trying to clear her head. She stopped on top of a mountain ridge and sat down as she watched the sun set. Her grip on her sword tightened as she felt the burning on her arm from another mark appearing.
“Will I lose my soul and heart for good if I become a demon?” she thought as she looked at her hand.
“There you are,” she heard someone say.
She turned her head and saw Demetri walking toward her. She looked back over the horizon and felt him sit by her. He sighed as he looked at the view.
“It’s a nice view from here,” he looked at her. “Don’t you think?”
“Yes it is,” she looked at him as she smiled. “It’s really nice.”
He grabbed her hands in his and looked at her lovingly. She blushed under his gaze and looked away. He pulled her to his chest as her wyes widened.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he whispered into her ear.
“Demetri,” she said.
He kissed her and he kissed back. He parted and looked at her as he caressed her cheek. She pulled back and stood up as night came. She felt a pulse go through her and gasped as she clutched her stomach.
“Selene!” he shouted as he rushed toward her.
“Sty-stay away!” she pushed him back and screamed as the pain increased.
Demetri stopped as he felt a presence behind him. He turned around and saw Shin. His eyes widened as Shin walked past him and knelt beside Selene.
“Sh-shin!” Demetri said in shock as he turned around.
Shin touched Selene’s shoulder and made her faint as Demetri walked toward him. Shin picked her up in his arms and ran toward the temple as Demetri followed after them. Shin set her on the ground and put a glowing crest on her heart. It went into her heart and she grimaced, and then relaxed.
“Shin why are you here?” Demetri asked as Shin sighed.
“I saw the angels stirring and wondered what was up,” he looked at Demetri. “I knew it had to do something with her.”
Demetri held Selene’s hand as Shin looked over her. He found the marks and looked at her sword. Selene woke up and gripped her arm as another mark appeared.
“Selene!” Demetri shouted.
“She’s already starting to change,” Shin put a vial on her arm and it burned. “This will slow down her transformation into a demon.”
Selene fainted again and Demetri put a blanket over her. Shin pulled up his sleeve and put a needle in it. He grunted as he injected the liquid and pulled it out.
“What’s that?” Demetri asked him as he put another log on the fire.
“Sol’s soul,” he replied.
“What?!” he slammed Shin into the ground angrily. “Why?”
“She asked it of me, to save Selene from losing her sanity,” Shin looked at him. “You know what I mean Demetri.”
Hours passed and Selene woke up as Shin walked into the building.
“Shin,” she whispered as she sat up.
“Good to see you Selene,” he said as he held out his hand.
She took it and he helped her up. He led her outside the temple and she looked back at Demetri. The moon shone through the trees as they walked, hearing sounds and howling in the distance.
“Sol wanted me to tell you that you won’t be an evil demon if she uses her soul to save you,” Shin looked at her with regretful eyes. “Her last wish was for you to become a demon and live with Demetri.”
Selene shook her head. “You know I can’t do that Shin.”
“Selene, please,” he took her hand in his pleading. “For her sake, if nothing else.”
She turned away from him and coughed as the wind blew. Shin looked at her still as the moon hid behind a cloud.
“You’re not strong enough to kill the high power, you can kill him if you were a demon,” he looked away. “Sol wanted that of you. I do as-“
“Do you have even the slightest idea of what that would do!” She glared at him. “Heaven would be thrown into chaos and they will put me in his place!”
Her eyes widened as she smelled a familiar scent and turned toward Shin. Shin’s eyes widened as he smelt the scent as well.
“Shin move!” she shouted as she pushed him out of the way as hand came down in front of them.
She covered her eyes as dust flew and gasped when she was pinned against a tree. The dust settled and she saw the high power in front of her, his eyes piercing right through her. She glared at him and swung upwards with her sword. He caught it and she gasped as it flew from her hands.
“No…” she whispered fearfully.
“I want you like you were before when we last fought,” he whispered in her ear as he grinned.
She pushed him back and her wings came out as the black marks went around her body. She rushed at him and he blocked her attack with one hand. She did a sweep kick and he kicked her into a tree as she grunted.
She grabbed her sword and she went back to normal. The dragon tattoo appeared on her hand to her neck as her eyes turned hazy. Her sword’s straps went around her arm and glowed red. She charged at the man and he disappeared, and then reappeared behind her. She swung around and he caught her sword in his hand as she growled.
She gripped her sword’s handle and the sword shocked him. He yelped and she cut him across the chest as her sword glowed crimson. She felt a pulse go through her and she went to her knees.
“Selene!” Shin shouted as he rushed toward her.
The man appeared in front of Shin and put his hand on his neck. Shin slashed at him and the man blocked his sword. Shin gasped as the man tore his hand through his stomach as Selene’s eyes widened.
“SHIN!!” Selene screamed.
Shin coughed up blood and the man took his hand out of Shin’s stomach. Selene felt Demetri’s presence coming and looked at her left. She saw him running toward her with his sword out. Selene struggled to concentrate her power as she held out her hand.
She put up a barrier in front of Demetri, blocking him from entering.
“Selene! What are you doing!?” Demetri pounded on the barrier. “Let me in!”
Selene yelped as she felt her nails and teeth get sharper as her eyes turned red. Her sword’s straps dug deeper into her arm as she gasped in pain.
Ar…mageddon, stop my transformation!” she struggled to say.
“I can’t! Its stronger than usual!” he growled.
The man walked behind Selene and raised his sword. Selene clawed the ground in pain with her left eyes closed.
“SELENE!!” Demetri screamed as the man thrust his sword down onto her.
Selene rolled and stopped the sword with her blade as her teeth clenched. Suddenly her wings came out and spikes came from her sword, stabbing the man throughout his body. Her eyes widened in surprise and the spikes disappeared.
She rolled out of the way as he thrust his sword down more and it hit the ground. She stood up and charged at him as he turned around. She stabbed him through his heart and his eyes widened in surprise.
“You’re a….”the man coughed as he glanced at Selene.
“I know,” she whispered regretfully as she withdrew her sword from his chest. “I’m a demon now.”
The man stabbed her in her stomach and she cried out in pain. The barrier weakened and Demetri broke through it. He rushed at the man as his sword’s chain came out and wrapped around the man tightly. The man grunted as Selene went to her knees in pain as she panted.
“Selene!” Demetri shouted as he knelt down in front of her.
“If you kill me,” the man chuckled as blood dribbled down his cheek. “You’ll become a demon fully and you can’t change back to an angel ever.”
Selene glared at the man and stood up wobbly. She punched him and he fell down.
“I’m… not like… you,” she growled as she panted.
Demetri got in front of Selene and raised his sword. Selene’s eyes widened at the murderous look in his eyes.
“Demetri don’t!” she shouted as he swung downwards.
The sword cut across the ground in front of the man and froze him. Selene looked at Demetri in confusion as he sheathed Calamity.
“This will seal his powers up so he has none left. I’m not so low as to kill him in front of you, Selene.” Demetri said.
Selene nodded and they turned toward Shin. He looked pale and lifeless, but his chest was moving. Selene knew even he couldn’t heal from his wounds and looked away as Demetri knelt beside Shin.
“Hey.” Shin said weakly.
“Hey.” Demetri answered.
Selene knelt beside Shin and he looked at her weakly. He pulled out the blue vial from his pocket and held it out to her.
“Take…it. Sol would want you to use it,” Shin coughed violently. “It can change you back into an angel or turn you into a full demon.”
Selene took it from him and nodded sadly. Shin smiled a little, and then looked at Demetri. Demetri held Shin’s hand in his as he looked back.
“Demetri take good care of her,” he told him as his voice got fainter.
“I will Shin, you know I will,” he said as he smiled a little.
Shin nodded and closed his eyes as his chest stopped moving. Selene looked at the vial and held it to her chest sadly. An hour passed and they burned Shin’s body on a pile of sticks as the sun rose. Selene uncorked the vial and Demetri looked at her.
She turned back to normal and her wings turned white again. Demetri grabbed the vial from her and she gasped. There was half of it left and he glanced at her, and then started drinking it slowly.
“Demetri…” Selene whispered in shock as his wings started to turn white and angelic.
His eyes remained the same and he drank the last of the vial’s liquid. He looked at Selene and she stared at him in shock. He smiled at her and grabbed her hand as he kissed it.
“I think Sol will forgive me for turning into an angel to live with you,” he said as he embraced her.
She nodded and embraced him back as she sighed. The looked at the sky as Selene saw some angels come out of the clouds. Demetri sighed and Selene looked at him as the sun hit their faces.
“So Selene,” he closed his eyes. “What will we do now?”
Selene shook her head and he opened his eyes.
“I don’t know,” she answered quietly.
He kissed her and she kissed back as he held her close to him.
“We’ll find a way,” he told her when they parted.
“Yeah, I know we will,” she whispered.
The angels landed in front of them and Selene squeezed Demetri’s hand back.
“We always do,” she thought as they walked toward the angels. “Right?”
