NIGHT

Noche. Nuit. They both translate into the same thing, night. The hours of darkness. This time of day is responsible for what has happened to me over the past few days. Inhuman things. I guess I can't complain seeing as it was always my destiny. And who can argue with fate right? No one. One night I'm tortured, the next I'm raped, and then I'm left for dead. But that was the way it was supposed to go. I was meant to be what I am and have all of these extraordinary gifts that came with it. What am I you ask? Well first you have to know my story in detail before we could go any further.

I was born in the ancient islesplace of Avalon to my father, Lord Ovaron, and my mother, Lady Sathedra. I was named Ophelia, I mean Princess Ophelia. You see I never asked to be given a title, hell, I never even asked to be born but like I said who can argue with fate? Well sixteen years later I am at a Fair, at night. It was an annual thing my people did. Even though I was Princess of Avalon, I still loved to help the people set up and clean up. We all had powers, but mine were far more advanced, which caused trouble in my case. Everybody wanted a piece of that power so I had to be careful and take around these things humans called bodyguards. We hardly interacted with the real world because they feared us they called us witches, but we were all children of Avalon, and Avalon loved granting his children gifts.

I was blessed with the gift of mind reading, visions of the past and future, and Telepathy, along with being able to "transport" to any place in mind. One of my stronger abilities would have to be controlling the weather and all of Mother Nature. Well anyway let's get back to the Fair. I was just finishing the cleaning where my horses had been in show when I heard a noise. It was more like a footstep, a very heavy one. And I thought I was alone. I looked all around but saw no one. When I began to walk away I felt a hand on my shoulder. I panicked so I screamed loudly. Not even seconds later a hand was over my mouth and a soft yet masculine voice was whispering in my ear. "Calm down" the voice said, "Or you'll get me killed." I instantly knew it was my lover, Acheron Parthenopaeus, but you can call him Ash. Acheron was born to two Gods in Didymos but was sent to live with some lady in Atlantis. That's where he grew up so it was like his second home. He told me stories from when he was a child and how he wished he could get away. Ash is very tall, almost seven feet, and he has long black hair to the middle of his back. His body was flawless and he made perfection jealous. And he has the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen, they are bluish silver that always changes colors. He's beyond perfect, inside and out. When we first met, he was all depressed hating the world, both magical and normal, until we started seeing each other. It has been almost 2 years. I turned around in Ash's arms. "What are you doing here Ash?" I asked him. He placed a gentle kiss on my lips and looked me in the eyes. His eyes were filled with so much love that it made my knees go weak. "I needed to see you." He replied taking my hands and leading me to a small bench near the stables. We were the only ones around. Ash sat down first and then placed me on his lap. "Gods I've missed this." Ash said rubbing my waist length brown, black, and sandy red hair. I laid my head on his faultless chest. Ash always sneaks here to see me and I never want him to leave. "Where have you been?" I asked him. "Waiting to come see you, love." I adored when he called me that. It made my heart jump no matter how mushy it sounds. I turned in his lap so that we were face to face. I kissed him with every ounce of emotion I could. I guess I took him by surprise because for a few seconds he did nothing but then he kissed me back just as hard. Gods I loved that man, he was going to be the death of me. Ash placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I put my hands into his hair and pulled. Ash moaned into my mouth.

We had been intimate before but in private, whenever he was here and I could ditch my bodyguards. We both broke apart but Ash began kissing and sucking down my neck. "I love you so much Acheron Parthenopaeus." I gasped out. He removed his lips from my neck much to my displeasure and looked me in the eyes. "Then marry me." Ash said not tearing his gaze away from mine. "What did you say?" I asked. "Marry me become Mrs. Acheron Parthenopaeus. I want a real family with you as my wife. And our kids running around having fun. And before you say you can't just run away with me. We could make it, I'm rich." Before I could respond Ash reached into his black slack and pulled out a velour box. "Open it." He told me and I obeyed his command. As soon as I lifted the lid I gasped. It was the most beautiful ring in the world. It had a 3 karat diamond and by the feel the band was 100% silver. The blue stone in the middle matched the blue in his eyes and the diamonds on the side would represent their color change. He always knows what I like even if I don't tell him. "So what do you say?" He asked me. "Would you do me the honor of being my wife?" I didn't even hesitate. "Yes Ash I would love to be your wife." He picked me up and swung me around. When he set me on my feet he kissed me with so much passion, I couldn't even think straight. Well that is until footsteps could be heard in the distance. "You have to go Ash" I said breaking away from him. I instantly missed the feel of his lips on mine. "Not without you." He replied stubbornly. "I don't want you to get caught." I said worrying about what would happen if he was. I knew he was strong but I still worry about his safety. "I can handle myself." Ash said. "You won't, meet me in the gardens near the palace tomorrow night, then we will sneak away together, I promise." I kissed Ash one more time. It was short but still sweet. "I love you Acheron." I said as I pushed him away. "I love you too Ophelia. Until tomorrow." And then he was gone, just like that.

One of my bodyguards appeared from behind the stables. "Princess what happened you were supposed to be back at least thirty minutes ago?" My bodyguard Merlin said walking up to me. "I guess I lost track of time" I replied. We walked back to the ginormous palace quickly. I couldn't wait for the next night. Once I got into the palace I had to quickly hide my ring. I went straight to my room after saying goodnight to my parents and showered. I climbed into bed and went to sleep dreaming of Ash. What felt like eternity to me was really only thirteen hours. I was in the gardens waiting on my Acheron to come to me. I can't believe I was excited about leaving behind everything that I knew. But that's how much I loved him. I would die for him if he ever let me. I had everything here on Avalon but with him I could feel much more at home. Whenever we were near each other I felt at peace. I heard footsteps coming toward me slowly and I grew impatient. "Come on Ash before we get caught." I said into the darkness. The voice that responded was not velvety nor was it filled with love, but grimy and too scary. "Sorry to disappoint but I'm not your lover." I could not believe that it was my bodyguard Merlin. I always knew he was a loser with no life. Gods, I can not believe my parents ever entrusted him with my life. Merlin stepped out of the shadows with his hands behind his back. When he was only a couple of inches away from me he grabbed my hair. "Think about what you're doing Merlin." I said in a calm voice. Where is Ash? "Oh but I have Princess, ever since I've been your protector. You have so much power, you need to be eliminated." He pulled his other hand from behind his back that held a deadly dagger that can kill almost any creature and drug it down my side. I kept quiet trying to ignore the stinging pain I felt in my side. It felt like I was on fire. "Go ahead Princess; scream as loud as you can. Let the world, both mortal and immortal that you can be in pain." He said in a deadly whisper. "No." I said. I was not giving in to his satisfaction. I tried to tune into my powers before noticing the red stone he had around his neck. I was like superman and that was my kryptonite. It always drained my powers, and the blood loss was not helping my vision. Merlin took the knife and drug it sown my other side. I was getting really tired and the blood seemed endless. "Come with me Princess and I'll let your little toy live." Merlin said in a voice that made me want to puke. Gods he better not had done anything to Ash or I will kill him myself. "Can't you just take me?" I asked. "No you have to come willingly." He said. "What makes you think ill go with you?" I asked him hesitantly. "Because if you don't then your precious fiancé will not live to see another day." He knew my weakness. He also must have been listening to me and Ash last night. "Fine ill go." He quickly placed the knife into his pocket and put his hand around my neck to cause enough pain. I wanted to scream so badly, but he would want that, he would want me to show my weakness. So I did what always calmed me down, I closed my eyes and pictured Ash.

What will he do when I don't show up to meet him? I was pulled form that horrible thought after being slammed into a rough wall. I opened my eyes and looked around. I noticed I was in a cave. Maybe I'm still on Avalon. Maybe my father or mother will be able to find me. But I knew chances of that were slim, they were busy with preparing for the visitation of a new country, something that had to do with vampires. Before I could blink Merlin was in front of me grabbing my face into his hands making me look into his filthy eyes. I really hate this man. He's taking me away from everything I know because he's a power hungry maniac who needs to get laid. He seriously needs to get a life. I was brought out of my contemplation when I felt the coldness of the dagger slice down my face. "Does it hurt Princess?" he asked me. "No." I spat back at him. But it did hurt, and I'd give anything to be at home or cleaning behind the animals, or more importantly in Acheron's arms with his sexy arms around my waist and his picture perfect face inches form my own telling me everything would be okay. Merlin slapped my face bringing me back into reality. I guess he got tired of my negative conversation because he didn't say another word. Only cut me here and there. But I refused to scream, denied him of what he wanted the most, to hear me ask for help or show any sign of weakness. He kicked me in the stomach twice and punched me in the face repeatedly. I have more than twenty cuts from the dagger and I was so tired. He left after I fell into the darkness.

When I woke up the next day it was still dark out. Gods, I thought, how long was I out? "Good evening Princess." I really hoped this was a bad dream. "You slept through the entire day, which is sad; you slept through out the entire day. .You really missed the most fantastic sunrise. The sky was blood red. Do you know what that means Princess Ophelia?" Merlin asked. He was so evil. Everyone knew when the sky is red during a sunrise that means blood had been shed the night before. But I wasn't going to let him know that I knew that. "I think your blood caused this spectacular sunset, don't you?" I still didn't answer him. "So you want to be silent?" Does he ever shut up? I'm starting to think he never does. "You know I always thought you were hot. And the way you always twirl around in those small little skirts and those extra tight jeans. You sure know how to tease. Especially when you are with that Acheron. The way you take him over the edge. It drives me wild. You are going to have to show me how you do that one day. Or now? Which ever you prefer." Merlin said in what was supposed to be seductive; it just came out really, really creepy and nasally sounding. I think he made me throw up a little. I don't know what's creepier? Him thinking I want him that way or the fact that he watched me with Ash. While I'm actually deciding which is worse I am pushed back on the cold cave floor. "I vote now." Merlin said in that same sadistic voice of his. I'm completely paralyzed; I can not move or feel anything. But it hurts mentally and I can't say anything. He's ripping off my clothes and I'm lying still not being able to defend myself from this monster. I want to cry and scream for help but I can't, it's like I'm frozen in time while he's raping me. Gods why do I deserve any of this? When he was done with his slow and dreadful torture he kissed me on the lips. EW! I didn't kiss him back, nor did I want to. I'm not disgusting like that. When he was done he stood up and I still refuse to move. "Wow that was nice but you could have participated a bit more." He said looking at my bare body. I refused to look up at him. "Well I guess it's time to end this, though I am going to miss this well toned body of yours." He pulled me up by my hair and pushed me against the wall. He grabbed that wretched dagger from his pocket and plunged it into my stomach. As soon as it was deep enough I started coughing up my own blood. I was in so much pain and I could barely see a thing. He removed the dagger from my stomach and released my hair. I fell to the ground holding my stomach and trying to control my coughing at the same time. It only made both worse. Merlin kicked me in my stomach and just left. I drifted off into a dark slumber. I was surprised when I woke up the next day. Once again it was night. I could tell I was dying soon. The red diamond was left by side so I could not call Mother Nature to come and heal me. I could feel myself slipping. My heart was slowing down and I could barely breathe. I was freezing cold and could barely move. And I just lay there. Not caring whether I lived or died. I've been here three nights and no one has even bothered to find me. I decided that I wanted to let go.

By my final breath a beautiful woman who claimed she was a Goddess by the name of Artemis appeared. "Come to me child, I know what Merlin did to you and your unborn child. Would you like revenge for it." Artemis said. How did she know I was pregnant? The key word being was in that sentence. "What's the catch?" I asked surprised at the confidence I had in my voice. "Nothing, closure, living in peace." She replied. "So what do you say?" She asked. "I say give me the revenge." Gods I was such a hothead. "Good, but you only have twenty four hours so make it work. I will let you know when those twenty four hours are up so get to it." And then she disappeared. I did not waste time. I took my sweet time torturing Merlin in the same cave he brought me too. And finally when I got tired of the screaming, I killed him. Just like that. I felt a lot better I was ready to move on to the next life. I could only hope that Acheron could join me one day. I prayed to the Gods that he remembered that I love him. Only there was a problem. I never went to heaven or even hell or wherever we magical creatures go. I appeared in front of Artemis. That little lying tramp told me that I could live in peace. She never said anything about taking my soul and me walking the earth with humans for eternity. I can't have a lover which means finding Ash was out of the question. Would he even accept me without my soul? Well that was over five hundred years ago and I still miss Ash. He was my life and now he's gone to heaven without me. Now I'm a Dark Huntress, killing Daimons and making all the humans' heads turn. I have to get ready for a meeting, with others like me and a couple of hunters and kids who have special powers. You see I finally met someone I love to hate more than Artemis, Lilith. That evil little demon is trying to bring hell on earth. And I'm not using that as some worn out little cliché. I mean hell on earth literally. So far I've encountered the Seven Deadly Sins in the flesh, Fairytales gone bad, and the final stop she wants to pull is bringing out Lucifer. You may know him as the devil. He wants to rid the world of humans and become King of the World. And it's our job to stop him.
