Back from the dark
"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 looked at her and said that he still has his control over her" I revealed the thing that's bothering me since yesterday.
"You mean?" he is asking me what I am thinking is true or not.
"Yes, I think he is still here, in the mansion" there I said those words.
I think Ornan is still in the mansion. He never left. The magic in the water must hav

Althea Still here
We cry like kids. I am happy y that she is free from his clutches."I am so sorry. 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
Me and Darius were sitting and talking near the lake last night.We felt like someone was watching us. Being a human, I can only see so far in the dark. 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
Althea Answers
"Our heart chooses whom it wants, no one has a say in it" I answered his question.I know Darius doesn't want me to talk to him. 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
Althea Books everywhere
The wards exhaust the energy of anything which is trapped in it. That's what happened with Ornan. The wards which were activated by his magic trapped him between them. It slowly drained the energy force of his spirit until nothing left of him.Darius was visibly sad after that. He locked himself in his study only to come out this morning.He must have come to terms with what happened to Ornan. We all decided to take the witch lord upon his offer and visit his house.Me, Darius, Max, my father, Li, Melanie, and my grandfather came to lord Agamanan's house.It's an old house with stone walls and an ancient look to it.The house is three-story, the first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room. The second floor has bedrooms. The third floor is prohibited to enter and that's where the books are. The third floor has four walls, if any person accidentally entered into it and sees that, they will just see four plain stone walls, nothing else.
Althea Angel returned
Darius POV"Angel" I rush towards the direction from where I heard my angel's soft cry.She is on the ground unmoving. She is not even breathing."Breath Angel. You cannot take her away from me. I just got her back. Please take me away as well" I cry with pain.I just got her back, he cannot be so cruel and take her away from me. Please Angel come back to me.I press on her chest to help her breathe. I blow air into her mouth."Please Angel, this time I cannot live without you. Please come back" I whisper broken.Everyone surrounding us gasp, looking at my anguished self.I continue pressing her chest and give her air through her mouth. After what felt like an eternity, which is only a few minutes she takes a deep breath.She coughs through the sudden intake of air and then settle down a bit."Thank god she is breathing," Max says with a sigh of relief."Why is she not opening her eyes," Melanie asks panicked.
Althea Queen
I glare at the thief who dared to steal her core. He panics and trips over in his haste to walk a little farther away from me.He should be scared. He dared to steal from her? I was angry when he took her away when she was little.I was looking for her all over the world, only to know that he hid her away from me.I excused him then because it was for her good. But this? A core is their identity. It defines the ability of the person involved.But he shifted into himself leaving my Angel vulnerable. She would have been dead just now."How dare you steal from my Angel" I roar and lunge for his throat.We shifted my Angel from the ground to the couch which I created with my magic destroying a nearby wall. My magic is most destructive when I am pissed.There is a wall missing from the library.I squeeze William's throat hard and lift him off from the ground. His feet now dangling in the air.He tries to pry my ha
Althea Grand ma
"What happened grandfather" I asked him softly.He looks at me sadly and then at Darius with fear in his eyes."How did I end up with my core inside you" I continue further when he didn't respond.He gathers himself quickly and takes a deep breath."I am sorry. It was my fault" he sigh and tries to get up from the ground.When I see that he is struggling, I take a step forward to help. Darius firmly plants me by his side. I sigh and look at Max, I move my head towards my grandfather. He nods in understanding and moves towards my grandfather and help him to his feet.My grandfather looks at Darius warily. I look at Darius who is glaring at my grandfather."Will you stop it please" I nudge him with my elbow."I am not doing anything" he defends and promptly looks at me with warmth in his eyes."Please," I ask with a smile."Ok," he says rather reluctantly."On the day when your mother died, in my haste to block yo
