Attacked
"What is it baby sister, what are you thinking" Max sits beside me.
I was sitting near the lake and thinking about what the witch Lord said about Amber. I haven't noticed Max.
"Nothing" I try to brush it off like it's nothing. I don't want him to worry. I am sure Darius must be thinking about the same. He too heard what the Lord said about Amber.
"You won't be thinking this deeply if it's nothing. You didn't even notice my presence until I announced it to you. I am not quiet either. So that means, you are so lost in your thoughts that you forgot to observe your surroundings" he analyses.
I laugh despite myself. God, he is the only one who can make me laugh even in a situation like this.
"You are crazy, you know that?" I tease him.
"Yaa.. My sister made sure she reminds me of my awesome craziness every day" he wiggles his eyebrows playfully.
He lays down on the grass and turns towards me.
"What happened Thea? What were you thinking?" he

"Amber" I answer truthfully.He looks as stunned as I felt."What?" he exclaimed in surprise."What do you mean Thea? Amber is in a coma. How can she compel all those shifters? She is neither that powerful nor that vindictive. She is your friend, she would never hurt you" he supports Amber.I guess I deserve this for not telling him the complete truth."I don't mean it like that Max. You know that the witch lord visited us yesterday, right?" I asked him."Yes, he came, but what does it have to do with Amber?" he asks in confusion."I took him with him to Amber's room.

He came after you because of me" I feel guilty that she had to suffer so much because of me."No Thea, it's not your mistake" she is trying to make me feel better."It's true Amber, if you are not my friend, then he wouldn't have known that you exist at all. He targeted you because of me. After you guys left me in the city, so much has happened. Vampires took me and Li" I explained."Oh my God Thea, you alright" she searched my neck and arms for visible puncture wounds.I smile at her, looks like, my Amber is back."Relax Amber, that's the least scary thing I faced since then" I sigh heavily."After Darius brought us back, I met Catherine" she looked at me and groaned."You were in a roller coaster ride without me?" She asked and we laughed."Ya, then I made my way into the dark world" all the color drained off her face.I can understand her
Althea Not anymore

But Darius is a shifter, his vision is much clearer even in the Darkness.He saw Amber looking at us standing in her room near her window. First, he was shocked and then told me what he saw."Amber is looking at us," he said once he turned his gaze towards the lake.I tried to turn around and see if she is looking or not."Not now, don't turn. You won't be able to see it. It's too dark outside" he suggested."But, how can it be possible. She is in a coma" I asked him baffled."Do you remember what the Witch lord said about her just a few hours ago?" he asked me."What did he...oh. He said 'she is still in his possession. It's dangerous to keep her here'" I remembered his words."She is indeed in his possession. He is still using her" he concluded."What do we do now?" I ask

But despite everything he did till now, today is the first time he is truly showing his insecurity."True, then how did I become bad and he became good. Both of us are Demons, both of us killed countless people. Then why him, why not me? Am I not handsome enough? Or were you attracted to becoming the Queen of the underworld?" he mocking with the last part."You don't have to talk to him, Angel. He doesn't deserve it" Darius declares."He is asking for a closure Darius. He needed to hear this, let me" I looked at him with determination."Good or bad depends on the path we choose. If I would of chosen you instead of him, he would have let me be happy with my life. Unlike you, who decided to kill me, because you couldn't have me. You don't want anyone to have what you couldn't have. But he is not like that. He wanted me to be hap
