Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Amongst The Shadows: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

I clawed at Percy's arm that was around my neck. He couldn't move that one, to avoid my assaults. I made his arm bleed, but he still wouldn't let go. I thrashed around. I would have never pegged Percy to be a great fighter. I'd always been the strongest, but it really was because of my shadows. You take that away from me and I'm more on Tally's level now. I pressed my back firmly against the wall and had my legs climb against Percy. He used his free hand and wedged it between my thighs pushing my legs apart and causing them to fall. I was desperately trying to escape him. I won't let this happen. I won't let Alester have his wish. Percy pulled at my underwear causing the lace to slowly tear apart. Note to self, buy stronger underwear, they tore within a minute. I stood before him fully naked now and tears of rage were misting my eyes. I pulled the wrist of his free hand towards me causing him to take another step closer to me. I pulled my head back and head budded him as hard as I c

Zerena's P.O.V.'Not like that!' Shade snapped at me. I swear she's the worst teacher. 'You have to give it more power." We've been training all day long. Shade is relentless. She refuses to allow me to take a break or even rest for a moment. She's driving me hard with the excuse that we have a lot to cover that I should already know by now. I'm able to stretch even the smallest shadow out 10 ft now. The center stays black and it lightens to a light gray the further I spread it. Shade says the whole thing should stay pitch black. So she's yelling at me to get it right. 'You should be stronger than this Zerena.' She was angry, her patience was worn thin already. I stretched the shadow out again this time as far as 15 ft. It was nearing the edges of the room, covering almost the entire floor. Only about 4 feet of it were a light gray. I smirked, feeling pretty good about myself. I thought I was doing good considering I had just learned how to do this today. 'Not good enough. You ca

The man motioned for them to go. Another man came from the back and grabbed me from Percy and Kellan. I shook him off and was prodded with a strong taser. "Don't struggle." The man warned. "Oh take the unicorn with you." The ledger man told him. Well that's convenient for me. I watched carefully as we stepped through the back doors. It was a long white hall that led to prison cells. I looked into each cell trying to find the Phoenix. The man shoved me into a cell right as I spotted him. He was in the cell across from me. "Stay here. Don't move." The man told the unicorn girl. She nodded her head, too afraid to speak. "I'll return with your placement. Don't move, girl. You don't want to be punished." This man looked at her with pity. He shook his head of the feeling and went back down the hall. "Hey girl." Phoenix man called to her. "How old are you?" It seems he took pity on her too. She didn't answer. She just looked down at the ground and continued crying. "Your life will onl

Kiran's P.O.V. "I'm guessing you had no idea your dad wasn't human?" Tate's question finally broke the long silence between us. "No, I had no idea. He never said why he left. He didn't even say he was leaving, honestly." I sighed, putting the last of my things into the apartment. "Your mom made it sound like your dad didn't know he was either." Tate was working through it just like I was. "Did he go out in the sun before he left you?" "Yeah, he would take me to school and pick me up." I answered. "Why?" "Well he has to be something that must be turned. Vampires are the number one turners." Tate explained. "Yeah, I don't think he's a vampire. What else?" "Witch? Maybe magic was locked away or something. Did you ever see him do anything unexplainable?" He rubbed his chin as he thought. "Nope. He was a pretty average guy. He wasn't super smart. He wasn't very large or very small. He was just average all around. He was really kind though, super kind, to everyone." I described dad.

Zerena's P.O.V. "My mother told me today that my dad left us because he wasn't human. He had found out he wasn't human late in life it seems. I don't know what he is. My mom wouldn't tell me. His name is Zion Barlowe." Kiran's husky voice cut deep. There's no fucking way that the man I just condemned to hell with Alester is Kiran's father, right? Zion could be a totally common name. Okay, woah, hold on. So Kiran's not human? Jesus, what is he then? I kept opening and closing my mouth unsure what to say. That's great? I'm sorry? Welcome to the club? None of these sound right. I know he's waiting for me to say something too. "Are you okay?" I finally spoke. "Kind of. I just want to know what my dad is. What I could possibly be." He was being so open and honest with me. "I could see that being a problem." I couldn't imagine not knowing what you are. Although I guess in a sense I don't fully know everything about myself. That reminds me…Al.Kiran rested his hands on the counter at
