DELSANRA Liam had taken me to a hotel suite and had told me to go sleep in the bedroom whilst he did some work in the living room area. At first I didn’t want to, but when I realised Rayhan wasn’t going to come anytime soon, I entered the bedroom, locking the door and tried to sleep. I tossed and turned but sleep was not coming to me. Sometimes I would be dropping off, only for my eyes to fly open and I would be fresh again. I picked up my phone, no message from him either… I sighed, staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t sleep, not without his arms around me. I didn’t even realise that I hadn’t actually spent a night without him… I sighed softly, staring at the ceiling, pondering over everything that had happened. Raihana hadn’t been given a grimoire, Rayhan had made her pass it to us before we left, simply because of the connection Endora had with her. The grimoires we had were mostly dark spells, but then again, it seemed Endora could relay any spell t

DELSANRA A demon. Those words rang in my head, I felt sick. Those things didn’t exist on this earth, did they? "Well, the little dark creature they had vulgar plans for, wasn’t exactly what they wanted. They wanted a male demon to breed with a witch. Sadly, they ended up with a female demon… Yet they weren’t going to drop their plans, so one of the sick members who found the demon rather appealing decided to engage with it." Janaina looked disgusted, but I felt worse. Was that what I was… A thing born from rape? I wanted to be sick. If my past had been crap before, it was worse now… I stayed rooted in my place, trying to calm my emotions as I listened to her. "How do you know if it was just a few who were in on it?" Raihana asked sharply. I could feel her anger as she stood up and walked closer to me but stopped next to Rayhan, whose emotions were a storm right now. I didn’t want to look at him... Not when he had an idea of what I was, yet he

DELSANRA We were just sitting and eating the food Rayhan had brought us when Janaina approached. Over the last few weeks, I could tell she was nothing like Samson. Despite her stoic behaviour, she was different. And I could sense her pride when either Raihana or I succeeded in something. She even remarked that she would be known as the teacher of two of the strongest witches of our time. "I think we are ready to do the unsealing spell of your powers." She said, looking between Raihana and me. She smiled confidently. "Oh, I cannot wait!" "There’s no chance that Endora might try to sabotage it?" Rayhan asked sharply. "No, she can only make a link when Serafina is in an intense emotional state or when asleep." "And I will not let her." Raihana said, confidently drinking some of her J2O. "And then, once my powers are released, can I deal with getting rid of Endora?" I asked. That was something I was looking

DELSANRA "Endora." I said coldly, the blistering rage I felt swirling around me, burning bright in the darkness before the veil. Her outline became clear and soon her face sharpened, a face I never wanted to see again. She looked the same yet different… "Delsanra." "It’s a shame you’re not burning in the pits of hell." I said coldly, circling the woman. I could feel her tension, her lips pressed into a taut line. Her fists clenched tightly. "I am not so easy to beat!" She hissed. "You’re dead, Endora. No matter how much you claw your way to the place between both worlds, there is no return for you without the help of powerful witches…" I said, approaching her. My heart was racing, but it wasn’t in fear. Her dark orange eyes held unmasked resentment. "Stay back!" She hissed. So, she too knew I was far stronger than her… "I won’t, because I am done with your selfish plans. You almost made Serafina

RAYHAN A few days had passed, and it was the day that Lola, Rose and Chris were popping down. We had told Janaina, who had only agreed if the girls managed to come to a certain level in their training. With both of them at their best with no seals or mind intrusions, they were learning fast, and she had begrudgingly told us that we may enjoy one night. She herself was going to see if she could find any answers regarding the witch hunters or anything regarding the matter. I was grateful to her for trying and for everything she was doing with the girls. I hoped that one day, when everything was sorted, she could live the life she wanted. With her gone, we had full reigns to do as we wished, and I actually was looking forward to it. The others were going to bring the meat, the grill and everything else we needed. The weather was hot, and I think the three of us were looking for some normality. Being out here, constantly training and learning, wasn’t easy. Delsan
