DAWN POVEverything looked foggy as I blinked my eyes open, and my body felt too heavy for me to lift. It felt freaking awful, and a tangy taste seemed to be etched deeply In my mouth. I was never drinking again. After some seconds of trying to move my limbs and torso, I finally got into a seating position, and I had to pause because it felt as if everything around me was spinning in my head.Blinking, I took in the grand room that I was lying in, but nothing looked or felt familiar. My mind was a blank slate, and the foreign feeling made me frown. Something was missing, something felt off. The door flung open and I jerked to see the intruder. A girl with short curly blue hair stepped into the room, the worried look on her face morphing Into a wide smile once she saw me."Oh my gosh. You're awake. You gave me such a fright" she grinned as she rushed towards my bedside. It was uncanny but she looked oddly familiar. Her hands reached to touch my forehead and I flinched back. She st

"I need you to make me an amulet," Seth said, the glare on his face ferocious as he stared at his father.They had gone back to their Mansion and the faint scent of Dawn that lingered in the air was driving him to a point of insanity.Fatimah stood beside him, her appearance still weak since Seth hadn't allowed her to feed since they left where he'd found her.Osiris's brows furrowed. "Why? So you and this poor girl can go after Alaric and get yourself killed?"Seth growled, his fist clenching by his side and he was going to unleash it when Fatimah interrupted him in a cool voice. "I might be weak but I am definitely not poor Sir, let's get that out of the way, and yes, I need the amulet so that I can murder that piece of shit who made me this weak"."I don't have the strength to indulge in your foolishness. You can't beat Alaric, I thought Killing your mother would make you wake up, but I was clearly mistaken".The next few second was a blur as Seth flew at him, his fist connecting

DAWN POVI was a mess. My body was changing, I could feel it and the medicine Hayden had prescribed was not helping with anything.Instead, it acted as a suppressor making me feel tired and unable to do anything but sit and stare into space while my flesh tried its possible best to rip itself off my skeletons. I was sensitive all the time and no amount of comedy show took away the feeling. I honestly felt as if I was dying.Hayden was always around but never came into my room and sometimes I would catch him and Masika discussing in low monologues about how everything was going to be fine in just ten days, and to wait it out since she was sure that I wouldn't die.Talk of the devil and he shall appear. Masika walked in with a fruit bowl, a wide smile on her face."I know you must be starving. Take this first, then I'll make you something to eat so you can take your medicine".I forced a smile on my face and collected the bowl from her, my hands connecting with the tip of her nails.Wh

Fatimah must have sensed his dark intentions because she was suddenly by his side, her hands grabbing onto his."Calm down first Seth. It is not over yet", she assured then turned to face Pierce. "You must have seen something before you were shut out. We just need the minutest of detail. Think Pierce, it can be anything, even a meaningless piece of item..."Pierce's brows furrowed, then his eyes widened as he picked up something in his memory. "An island. Very far away, but it was almost invisible as if it was cloaked in thick darkness or something."Fatimah and Seth exchanged a look. It was just the same way Alaric Mansion had been invisible even tho it was there all because it was cloaked with dark magic. "There are thousands of islands..." Fatimah started, then paused. "North or South".Pierce shook his head. "I did not get any bearing. Just a flash of the place where my magic was being repelled from as I was flung out".Seth hated that they were back to a dead end once again. Mas

Alaric blood boiled as he flew through the night, the island scent wafting to his nose and hinting that he was getting closer. Masika had betrayed him and left him alone with his device.His own daughter. He blamed himself. He should have known that Masika was going to go off the rails after her last plan hadn't been followed to a T. Alaric had seen an opportunity and had decided to take it instead of waiting for extra days before he could carry out the ritual. It turned out Seth had still been too strong for the demon to take over his soul. It was not right. He wasn't supposed to be able to defy the demons that made him but somehow he had managed to do just that and that action alone made Alaric afraid of how the rest of their plan would turn out, especially after the stunt Masika pulled. With each minute that ticked by, the fear clawed deeper at his soul. One of his sorcerers was dead and the other planned to take the power for herself as she'd always wanted to do and he could not
