Panic Room Nightshade
Chapter 13 - Nightshade Lilith Sleep clung to me how frost clings to the grass on a cold November morning. My brain felt sluggish as I slowly tried to piece together the events that happened before I fell asleep. I didn't remember falling asleep, I didn't remember anything, actually, and that had my heart thumping a frantic beat against my ribcage. Slowly, my sense returned to me, a burning sensation flaring through my shoulders the closer I got to consciousness. I forced my arms to move, seeking relief from the discomfort, but was met with resistance and the faint sound of metal rattling. Panic gripped my heart, squeezing it tightly as I slowly peeled my eyes open, raking in the horror before me. A large mirror was placed in front of me. I looked at my reflection; my arms were chained above my head, and my legs were connected to chains secured to the concrete floor. The smell of bleach and soil burned by noise forced me to breathe through my mouth. I turned my head to the side,
Panic Room Power
Chapter 14 - Power Samuel I had always been the most cautious out of the seven of us. I stood in the back of rooms during parties, lurking in the shadows. Watching and learning, I was a social outcast, always reading and studying. Some deemed me lazy and unreliable, but I begged to differ. Those people were fools because it was when no one thought anyone was watching that they revealed their true selves. It was how I gained secrets and the upper hand in the underworld. Lucifer and Winston may be one of the top princes in Hell for their cutthroat ways, but I was at the top for my ability to claim secrets and blackmail, unlike any other. I was as cunning as I was invisible. It had worked for me well all these centuries. It was what also saved me from the wrath that was Lilith and made me one of her closest allies in Hell, that was until she decided to kill my brothers and take the crown for herself.Her betrayal was why I had supplied Lucifer with the information he needed to kill h
Panic Room Fraud
Chapter 15 - Fraud LilithI gasped, shooting up from the bed I was now lying on. Long gone were the chains and the cold concrete room that smelt of bleach and damp earth. My heart pounded in my chest as I greedily inhaled the air around me. I frantically searched my body for bloody wounds coming up empty. I felt no pain but knew without a shadow of a doubt that what I had experienced was real. 'Maybe you're dead.' The voice in my head suggested. And as I scanned the new shirt and leggings I was wearing before moving my attention to the unfamiliar room I had been placed in; I was starting to think I might be. But if I was dead, then how could I still feel my heart beating in my chest? With a shaky breath, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. The room didn't smell like a hospital, and no harsh chemicals or the feeling of death clung to the air. Instead, warmth enveloped my bare skin, and the smell of fresh snow and lemons greeted me. I took in the large bay windows. A large fore
Panic Room Games
Chapter 16 - GamesLilith Winston let out a roar of anger; the chair he occupied now flipped over as he charged at me. The promise of my death filled his eyes. The hazel colour of his irises was now replaced with a black so deep it looked almost as if they could pull me in like a black hole. His hand wrapped around my throat before anyone else had enough time to react. I grunted as my head slammed against the stone wall of the fireplace. Another thing I missed when entering this room from hell. My lungs burned as I tried to gasp for air, but Winston held on tight. I knew he could snap my neck with the slightest flex of his fingers, but he wasn't going to. No, that would be too easy of a death, for the woman poisoned him and then ripped out his heart and fed it to the beasts of the underworld. He wanted to watch me struggle to breathe. He wanted to watch the panic fill my eyes as the realization that I was going to die set in. He wanted to watch the light fade from my eyes as I slow
Panic Room Wicked
Chapter 17 - WickedLucifer "What now?" Gideon asked, the others all staring at the chair Lilith had been sitting in just seconds ago before I sent her into the pits. The snakes wouldn't attack her unless I said so, the serpents being one of the more loyal pets I owned next to the bloodhounds. But that didn't mean they wouldn't torment her and make her fear for her life in more ways than one. I could feel the eyes of my brothers burning into me as they waited for an answer. Most of them wanted her dead, but a couple, like Emmett and Samuel, wanted to keep her around to see what would happen. For Samuel, there was an obvious reason why he wanted to keep her alive and let her live freely in our world. He had always been Lilith's favourite. She gave him the swiftest and kindest deaths out of us all. And I knew without a doubt that if she could have kept him around, she would have. Which was funny, considering that Samuel always claimed he couldn't stand her and wanted nothing to do
Panic Room Addiction
Chapter 18 - AddictionEmmett Life for anyone, especially for a prince of hell, has a way of really fucking you when it starts to get good. Coming in to ruin everything just when you finally get your shit together and have proven to everyone who the top dog in charge is.Okay, maybe I wasn't exactly the top dog per se, but I was close to it until karma walked in like a fucking hurricane and took the chance away from me, and that hurricane just happened to be named Lilith.All those centuries ago, I thought she was a blessing. Little did I know she was a curse in disguise, a curse I would later find myself addicted to. She and I connected, hitting it off instantly, or so I thought. We even devised a plan to help me claim the top spot with her by my side. Unfortunately, the Envy I had for my brother and his power, blinded me, and I didn't see Lilith for the snake that she was until she stood over me with a cunning smile on her lips and a bloodied knife in her hand after she had just cu
Panic Room Monsters
Chapter 19 - MonstersLilithI was on edge; my nerves shot; my body was still numb from the adrenaline, despite all the cuts and bruises I now wore like some sick trophy for Lucifer and everyone else to see. I knew without a doubt that Lucifer would make my time here miserable before my ultimate demise. However, I was sure I would get much relief when I died. Not when I knew my soul would be bound to this god-awful place for all of eternity. I squeezed my eyes tightly together as I tried to push back the fear of the unknown. Long gone was the blood and the smell of mould and damp earth. But when I closed my eyes, I could see the haunting yellow eyes staring back at me and the sharp fangs of the snakes before they lunged at me, wanting to taste the blood of the snack their beloved owner had just gifted them. Lucky for me, a set of said fangs saved me from being worse off than I was.How I got them in the first place, I couldn't tell you; it was like I blacked out my fight or flight k
Panic Room Angle
Chapter 20 - Angle Lilith"Rise and shine," Emmett whispered in my ear. His velvety voice pulling me out of my dreamless sleep. One I was thankful for, my heavy lids slowly peeled open. The pit of my stomach churning as the dread of what today might bring settled in. The mouth-watering smell of bacon and eggs filled my nose, and my empty stomach growled in response. I stared at the tray of crispy bacon, perfect dippy eggs, toast, and a small glass of orange juice. My brows pinching together in confusion. "You didn't think I was going to make you starve, did you?" Emmett teased, the corner of his lip twitching. The memory of last night's kiss flashed through my mind, forever branded there for the rest of my life, even if I didn't want it to be. My cheeks flush at the thought, forcing me to direct my attention elsewhere. The guy was a prince of hell and wanted me dead. I had no right to fawn after someone like him. No matter how devilishly handsome he was. "How do I know you didn'
