Kera now had her attention back to the crystals. "Why do I feel like I'm being pulled towards this place?" She asked, placing a hand on the cave wall. May smiled at her. "Because you are a witch, and there might be a possibility that an ancestor of yours was one of us." "I doubt that. My mother died before she could teach me anything, and I'm pretty sure that my dad would have said something." Nikki scoffed. "Sorry to say this, but Matthew never told you anything, not even to use your powers. So I doubt he would tell you that you are a descendant of a powerful witch.'' Kera shrugged. "I doubt I am, anyway." "Enough chatting, we have somewhere to be," April said from where she sat on a blue rock. "Yes, we were getting sidetracked. Scarlet, Elijah, only you two can lead the way now. My sister made it so that even though we could enter, this is the furthest we can go in fear of one of us stealing the crystal and betraying them," May explained. "We have to stay close to them. This p
"I still can't believe Lizzy was actually someone else. I don't know how it went by me,'' Elijah said. Scarlet turned her back on him because she wasn't up to talking about someone like that. "She pretended to be my brother's mate. I think that is just as bad," Nikki put in. "Yeah, I don't think anyone's experience with her is worse than the other. She played with everyone's mind either way, so let's not make this a competition, Nikki," Kera said while walking past her to enter the car. Nikki grumbled something under her breath before heading to the other car, where she sat in the back with her arm folded over her chest. As Scarlet sat in the front seat, waiting for Horatio to finish speaking with Vincent, her mind reeled and went back to a time that seemed so long ago. FLASHBACKScarlet's mind drift to what she thought were the good old days. I feel cold, so cold. I tried to move but can't. Where am I? I closed my eyes to sleep, but open them quickly. There
Scarlet woke early the following morning to get some work done. More Loreans had arrived during the night, and more were still coming. Horatio pulled Scarlet to him, then kissed the tip of her ears, which caused her to shiver. "Why are you up so early?" He asked. "Because I have to prepare for tomorrow. I want to make sure everyone is-" Horatio kissed her, cutting off her words. "You are such a distraction," Scarlet told him, then pulled him into another kiss. She finished getting dressed and left the room, where she made her way to where she heard Harlow and her mate talking. She knocked on the door lightly, only to hear complaining coming from inside. Scarlet practically had to rip Harlow away from Gore, while Alistair refused to leave his bride's side. "I'm sure October can take care of herself and doesn't need a bodyguard," Scarlet said. "And I'm sure you don't want to lose a limb or your head," Alistair shoot back. October got between the two before things could escala
"I don't think this will end well. Some of these guys seem as if they will go at it any moment now," Kate said. And she was right. The tension in the manor was thick, and it wasn't from the pending war. But just from lores being around other lores, they didn't trust. A few more Lores, mostly witches, warlocks, and vampires, had arrived during the time Scarlet was setting up the crystals, which set the wolves on edge and even had a few questioning things. "Are we sure this isn't a setup?" Carmela asked when a warlock who was covered from head to toe in tattoos and piercings walked by her. Kate stared at the man, interested in the iron bars that ran through the bone in his nose, the rings in his brows, and the finger bone that was dangling from his ear. "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough arrow if shit should go sideways. "Don't worry, I don't attack those that are weaker than me." The warlock stopped to say. "Yeah, besides, we are only here because we are excited about the wa
Scarlet blinked a few times, only to see that Miley was waving a hand in front of her face. "Are you alright?" Horatio cupped her face in his hands. "Yes, just a memory that had me lost in time." Horatio kissed her and leaned his forehead on hers. Miley came up the hill after. She waited until Horatio moved away before she spoke. "Scarlet, are we still going to have training with you?" Miley asked. Scarlet had a distant look on her face, but she quickly shook it off. "Shouldn't we be training with them, too?" She heard October asking Alistair. "We don't need it," he replied. "Cocky, I like your confidence, vampire, or is it cowardice?" Horatio asked. Gore chuckled. "I can take both of you with my hands behind my back," Alistair told them, then removed his helmet. "Oh there pretty boy, don't want to mess up your hair or get a bruise on your face now, do we?" Horatio mocked. Scarlet glanced at her mate, wondering why he insisted on picking a fight with her vampire. She the
I sat on the window seat looking outside; I remembered the rain falling hard that day and with it came this horrible feeling I have been feeling for to month now. Selina thought that we should go to the beach. It was her way of trying to cheer me up, but for whatever reason, I didn't want to leave the house, because my mind was telling me that something bad will happen. Selina left me alone after seeing that there was nothing she could do to cheer me up and I went to lie on my bed, thinking that sleep would help. But suddenly there came crashes and screams from downstairs, which I paid no attention to, thinking that it was just someone doing a spell because it was always like that there. We were crazy and always did experiments, so I lay there until a young witch by the name of Cari burst into the room. She was bloody and crying. I looked at her with wide eyes, but before I could go to her, a tall shadow appear in the doorway. The vampire grabbed her by the shoulder, then he bit
When they got to the top of the hill, Kera gulped from beside Elijah, who was too engrossed by the strange glow the red moon cast down on them. The place seemed even more sinister than on any other night. The place was also silent and all he could do was wait until the enemies break the line."Do you think Murmalaid would have helped us out in this situation?" Kera asked.Elijah glanced down at her. "No, because things have changed, but even then, I doubt the fates or gods would have let her interfere. There are no more humans to worry about."Kera nodded. "I guess you are right."Scarlet looked over at her brother, giving him a smile because of how brave he was. When she looked back out, she could see the flames that had engulfed parts of the village."It's a good thing we thought of evacuating the village and an even better idea to have our people set up out there."Horatio held her hand."It is a good thing Miley isn't here to see all this. She would be crying by now." Nikki joked,
Nikki let out a cry, her sword sliced right through Matthew as if he was made of butter. His body fell to the ground in two halves, and his face now had a peaceful smile as if that was what he wanted all along.Nikki let out another cry.She walked over to where Kera lay and noticed that the hole in her body was getting smaller and smaller.Kera groaned before sitting up. Nikki gasped. "Kera, you're alive, how is that possible?" Kera looked down at her body in shock. "Did Scarlet teach you how to do that?'' Nikki laughed. Kera shook her head still looking at her body. "No, but the crystals she had us plant yesterday worked, so none of us will die." "But what about those who come to fight us?" Nikki asked, helping Kera to her feet."Scarlet only cares about us, not them, and now is not the time for chit-chat. We are in the middle of a war." "Right," Nikki nodded. "Let's go," Kera smiled, and together they ran after some elves, who ran away screaming. ****Elijah was holding his
