Damien Lavey Monster Prom Novels & Stories

I think the electric shock catches it off guard. As long as we can get away! We finally reach the alcove. Kael jumps into the darkness of the rocky cave. Followed by Fredrick and Ash, who immediately collapse onto the dry ground. Damian lands last, gasping for breath, his skin badly reddened. Outside, the acid rain turns into a raging storm. The monster stops at the entrance of the alcove, unwilling to enter because of the low stone ceiling. But it keeps pacing back and forth outside the entrance, growling deeply enough to make the small cave tremble.

"Let's leave Trevor Penn for another day. There's something I need you to do for me, Jeckle." "What is it that's so urgent, Mister Damon?" "There's been a pretty severe lab slip-up at the Lantech building in the western suburbs, and they've created the monster. I just got the news that more than half of the scientists there have died, and I need you to kill that monster." "Got it, Mister Damon. I'll get to it this very second."

"How can you stand there and say that when you are the one who's seducing a monster?" "First of all, I am NOT seducing anyone! Secondly, you do not know him. I do, and I can say that you are far bigger of a monster than he will ever be!" "Never! All vampires are monsters and no amount of time will ever change that! They are evil beings who deserve to be slaughtered." "Oh my God! Why are you so stubborn and stuck in your ways that you can't wrap your tiny little peanut-sized brain around the fact that they are still people and not all of them are the same?"

I asked, petrified. Damion gripped my hand, staring keenly at the part of the cave that was covered in pitch darkness. “I think there is something in there,” I muttered in a quivering voice. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as he shifted back. A scream escaped my trembling lips when a large snake-like beast emerged from the darkness. It was covered in dark, sharp scales, and its head was full of large thorns that could make a normal person drop dead at the sight. I was paralyzed at the sight of the monster. I would have died if Damion was not standing next to me.

Right in her arms, smiling with ease and out of reach. And yet—he was here in a flash. Cold ran down my back. As if he knew what I thought, Lucian’s smile grew. He leaned his head, and in the weak hall light, I saw the sharp tips of teeth, just seen when he smiled. Vampire. That thought hit like a blow to me. Then all fell into place. His smooth moves, the odd still calm, the way his look held me fast without a try. And then, in a voice low and smooth with danger, he said,

“200 wolves. Their pain. Their secrets. Their bonds. If I wanted, I could break them all. Free them all. End the hierarchy with one thought.” Damian’s hand came up to her face. His thumb brushed the silver vine under her jaw. “Then don’t. Not yet. Power without choice is just another cage.” His words grounded her. The room stopped shaking. But the monster behind them was done recovering. It lunged. Damian shoved Luna aside and took the hit. Claws raked across his chest, opening four deep wounds. He went down hard. “Damian!” Luna screamed. The queen voice was gone. Just Luna. Terrified girl.

"I promise I will come back to you." "Please," I beg one last time as the tears break free. David lets go and he and Tarlo leave through the door. Lyde catches me as I stumble back, lowering me to the floor before I smack against it. A cry of pure powerlessness leaps from deep within my chest. Every nightmare that's haunted my dreams for the past month creeps up on me and wrecks havoc. The lingering terror I constantly feel bursts from the depths of my being and takes full reign. "Luna, please," Lyde tries to reason, "David knows what he is doing. He wouldn't participate if he knew he couldn't win."

"Let go... of my wife... you damned monster." "Monster?" Damien looked at Mavric with lightning-fast disdain. "I am her future. You are nothing but a relic of the past that makes her weak." Suddenly, Damien pulled a lever on his wristwatch. A stealth helicopter emerged from the fog, lowering a harness cable directly above them. "Now, it is time to leave, Sister," Damien said as he secured the harness around Liora. However, Liora smiled. A smile that made Damien sense that something was wrong.

Everyone wanted to know what Amber James’s house was like on the inside, but no one as much as Evelyn Monroe, and after spending a good hour answering her mother’s questions, Beth had spent another two or three on the phone with her other friends, telling them everything that had happened. She’d left out the part about Michael talking to Amber, though. It seemed silly to alarm Lexy over something that hadn’t really been much of anything at all.

"Perfection. Now rest, you two. Extraction begins soon. The new hybrids need your spark." "Wait," I called as the screen started to dim. "Lila, this ends bad for everyone. Call it off. Talk to us like people, not lab rats." "Too late for talk," she replied, voice fading. "The lab is just getting started. Enjoy the view." The monitor went black. Damien slumped back against the wall, breathing fast. "Avery, we need a plan. Fast. Those chains, the barriers. That monster. She's not bluffing."
