Damon was staring at Alistair with no little admiration and decided that would do anything to participate in this mission. He wanted his master to be pleased with him. However, Alistair was not only a ruler to him but something like a father, after all he took care of Damon who was found abandoned in the Underworld. It could not be said that Damon loved him, for such feelings were alien to him as a demon, but he felt the need to remain loyal to his guardian and king.
- My dear subjects, kinsmen, friends!- Alistair finally spoke up.- Each of you probably knows what day it is today... The time finally came and the "chosen one" turns sixteen. Today, the seal placed on her by mother broke, giving us the opportunity to attack and eliminate this girl, as we did with the two previous ones. The first time it went smoothly... But a thousand years later the sorceresses did a good job of defending the "chosen one" and we had to act deceitfully, and this time we will have to do so. CertainSelene was sitting alone in the armchair. Alice abandoned her because she had to help Teresa with something.- Hello... again.- she heard a familiar voice above. When Selene looked up, she saw Eleazar smiling friendly at her.- Hey.- she replied easily.Eleazar crouched down beside the armchair so that could hear her well.- I would like you to tell me something... Why back then, in the cafe, were you looking at me with such horror when I turned towards your table?- he asked in surprise.- "Oh God, he noticed that..."- it flew through Selene's head.- Eh...- she sighed.- I mean... It's kind of embarrassing.- Selene stuttered, rolling her eyes.- Go ahead.- Eleazar encouraged her with a warm smile. Only now did she realize how handsome this boy was, and his eyes were blazing with some strange light. He took her hand lightly now, waiting for an answer, and his touch made Selene shudder slightly. What was wrong with her?- Will you tell me, please?- El
Eleazar quite eagerly flirted with Selene, and she too fell under his spell. He was handsome and there was something about him that clearly attracted girls.- So you're saying that Jennifer is crazy about me?- he raised an eyebrow slightly upward.- Yeah. But honestly, who wouldn't be crazy?- Selene teased him.- And are you crazy about me?- Eleazar asked bravely, looking into her eyes.- Well, sure, a little bit.- Selene said honestly, because it was indeed true. She felt that had a thread of sympathy with this boy. From his expression, however, Selene read that it meant a little more to him than to her.- I mean, you are a great person to talk to... I feel that we will become very good friends.- she corrected hurriedly so that he would not give himself too much hope.- Friends... That's great.- Eleazar replied, clearly a bit disappointed by this word.- You're sad...- Selene remarked. She felt sorry for the boy because probably hurt his feelings now.
The next day, Selene woke up very early. All night she dreamed of a mysterious man whom she met yesterday. Now her only dream was to see him again, talk for a while, find out his name... There were so many questions in her head. Of course, Selene knew she shouldn't be thinking of him, and certainly not in that, kind of romantic, way. He was a demon, her natural enemy. Unfortunately, Selene's heart skipped a beat at the mere memory of him, and she couldn't help it. For now, she didn't even want to wonder what would happen if aunt Margareth finds out about her feelings.Selene stretched first, then slowly dragged herself off the bed, her eyes immediately fixed on the Book of Magic that was lying down on the desk, the one she had gotten from aunt Meredith yesterday. Selene took it gently in her hands and sat on the edge of the bed, setting the bulky volume on her lap, and flipped through the book several times. Afer the fourth time she stopped at a page that showed a portrait of a
When Damon was back in the Monroe family's garden, his heart began to beat faster. Out of nowhere, there was a passionate desire to meet this girl again inside of him. He knew she would probably kill him - after all, she was a sorceress and her job was to wipe out demons - but that didn't seem to scare Damon off. He was ready for it, if only to be able to see her again, even if it would be the last time in his life.Damon walked over the wall, hid behind the trees and then saw HER. She was walking in the garden with some other girl with red hair and a pale complexion, he sensed that she was also a sorceress. They talked freely about anything and everything, laughing out loud from time to time. His beloved looked so radiant when she smiled... and that made him happy too, mainly because he could at least observe her from a distance. Damon tried to look more closely at her while being careful not to lean out too far. If they both noticed him, he would be dead for sure. At the same
Rita sat in silence for a moment with her eyes closed, as if she wanted to gather enough strength for what she was about to tell. Selene sat on the couch next to her, eyes never leaving Rita, waiting impatiently for what she was about to hear. Isabelle interested her very much, and she was sure that would certainly not learn anything from her. And Selene was eager to find out something more about Isabelle, to find out the reason why she was so quiet. There was certainly a reason, each such person usually hid some tragic story that caused them to close themselves off from the world. And the worst part was that people like Isabelle were rarely asked for details, because like a wounded animal, they shelter themselves with tall walls and usually avoid talking about what has hurt them. Well, unless the questioner was a psychologist and could ask about it in a very gentle way, but Selene wasn't skilled enough to do it. Therefore, she was waiting impatiently for Rita's words so that she co
The next day, Selene woke up in a great mood. Yesterday's lesson with Elisabeth, Rita and aunt Meredith was surprisingly easy for her. Admittedly, she had to struggle to focus enough on her task, but according to Rita, she was doing much better than the previous "chosen one". Therefore, she was very proud of herself.Selene got out of bed, stretching a few times, then went to the bathroom and took a shower. After had dried her hair well, she returned to the room wearing a bathrobe. Then Selene went to the closet and took out her long-worn jeans and a white long-sleeved blouse, so thin she had to put a top under it - and chose blue one, on thin straps, which she liked very much. Then Selene walked slowly down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast, clearly hearing aunt Meredith bustle and smelling the wonderful smells spread throughout the house.~~~~~~Damon couldn't sleep that night. He shifted restlessly in bed, then got up and paced around the hotel room, very res
Damon took the elevator down to the ground floor, then entered the enormous hotel lobby and approached the reception desk.- Good morning, sir.- the receptionist greeted him with a broad smile, fixing her blonde hair, pinned up in a high bun.- Hello. I'd like to check out.- Damon said with a smile as he placed the key on the front desk.- Ah... of course.- the girl replied, slightly disappointed, took the key and started doing something on the computer hidden under the counter.Damon knew how his charm worked on women, just like of any demon, but it was the first time he felt bad about it.The receptionist printed the bill and put it on the counter.- You're paying $80.- she added, trying to smile charmingly despite the sadness clearly visible in her eyes.Damon glanced briefly at the bill - everything was fine. He only used the room, didn't eat dinner or breakfast, not even used the minibar. As a demon, he did not need human food, but at times co
Thanks to his demonic abilities, Damon literally flew over the wall to the garden at the back of the Monroe family house, then crept among the trees, searching for the one person he was looking for. It wasn't even five minutes when he finally saw her again. She was just walking outside, breathing deeply, and shortly after headed towards the "wild" part of the garden. Damon followed her until the girl stopped right next to a fallen tree at the end of the garden and sat down on a huge log, slightly stroking its bark. At the sight of this, Damon's heart jumped up with excitement. While looking at that memorable tree that was about to kill her, did she thought of him? No, he couldn't hope for too much. Finally Damon stepped out from behind the trees and slowly walked towards her.Selene was sitting on a tree stump, wondering if she would ever see even once that strange demon who had saved her life. She wanted it with all her heart, even though knew that the next time he probably wo
