Chapter Ten Devotion
I sat staring numbly at the light pink wall in front of me. They were all down stairs talking and i was up here trying to let everything to sink in. The glass table in front of me had become flooded with tears. I didn't even know why i was crying. I had the chance to escape to a different world. One that had nothing but beauty and one that needed me. I looked at the greying book in front of me. Elegantly written on the front of was Olivia Lily Comerez Matris Vis, Mother Nature in Latin. The guys had all tried to open it to try and find some kind of answer as to who i am and why I'm here. Was it wrong to be scared of a book? With shaking hands i reached for the book. It looked so heavy and yet felt so light. I smoothed my hand across the frame, remaining dust dancing off into the air. With my other hand i traced a finger along the gold printed name. I took a deep shaky breath before opening with surprising ease. I nearly had the book fully open, colour had begun to stream out of the book in little rays, suddenly the door flew open with a bang, Reid came running in but stopped when he saw me.
"What are you doing?" He asked gently. I shrugged and put the book back down. He took a seat next to me and threw an arm over my shoulder.
"I thought we told you to let us handle it?" He questioned me gently. I bit back the growl flying up my throat.
"It's my destiny too Reid." I reminded as nicely as i could. I felt his arm tense under me.
"It's not as simply as that Kitten." He gritted out. I stood up abruptly and paced angrily around the room.
"You think i don't know that it's not simple? There is some crazed demon out there after us and you think I'm just going to sit around waiting for the men to figure out what the fuck is going on? That's called sexism you moron." I shouted angrily at him. Out of frustration i kicked the glass table, not that forcefully but it lifted and threw itself against the wall, a blot of lightening struck and suddenly angry rain began pelting down from the sky.
"See baby it's not a matter of sexism it's a matter of the guys and I being a lot more knowledgeable when it comes to power but if it makes you feel better we can do it all together." He murmured gently bringing me in his arms. I felt the tears burn my eyes.
"What's happening Reid?" I asked scared. He let out a sign, pecked my forehead and tightened his grip. He didn't answer my question. I don't think he could.
The light outside had faded to dark long ago and all eight of us were desperately researching whatever we could. The large greying book with my name over it still hadn't been opened and i was beginning to think i wasn't the only one that was scared. Caleb, Pogue and Sarah
were sitting at the table near the window, heads bent low in books every so often getting up to note something down. Tyler, Charlie and Reid were looking through pieces of art work hoping to find some kind of visual clue. I was sitting in the arm chair near the glowing fire. Yet no one wanted to touch that book.
"This is stupid." I broke the silence, heads shot up and before they could answer i was opening the book. The same bright colours were streaming out when it fully opened bright colourful lights had spread throughout the room. It suddenly felt like i couldn't move. It seemed as though there was no one else in the room. The bright colours wrapped around me, squeezing me tight. So tight that i could breathe. I tried screaming for help but nothing came out.
Caleb's P.O.V
The colours had completely encased. I tried to move forward but i couldn't. I could hear every body shouting, Reid's the loudest of them all. I couldn't take my eyes of the mass of colours that was Lilvia. It felt as though my eyes were forced to look by magic. There was no sound except for our shouting. Just as quickly as it came it went. Lilvia dropped down with a thud and we were all released of our bonds. Reid ran first but ran into some kind of invisible barrier. I could see something glittering.
"Wait Reid." I ordered. His head swung towards me and he growled.
"She's not moving idiot what if she's dead." He growled in reply. I didn't look at him instead i kept my eyes on Lilvia. She began moving, slowly at first. In fact it almost looked as though she wasn't moving. Every so often a little flash of glitter would swing past my vision. It wouldn't stop moving and so i couldn't tell what it is yet.
"Are those wings?" Charlie asked eyes wide and mouth agape. I squinted and could finally make out a beautiful pair of silver almost translucent wings. Everyone made gaps of surprise. Reid timidly made his way to her.
"Kitten." He whispered holding his hands up in a kind of surrender. Lilvia pushed herself up off the ground, she stood tall and i couldn't help but see just how beautiful she was. She was still her usual height, her brown waves had become longer and they swam down her back, her eyes still the same blue but seemed to twinkle with magic, her aura glowed a silvery colour, so pure and enchanting and lastly behind her you could occasionally get a glimpse of fluttering wings.
"You look so beautiful." Reid whispered too her. She still hadn't said anything but a smile grew on her face and for the six months i had known her i don't think she had ever looked happier.
Reid's P.O.V
I felt like i couldn't breathe. She looked so magnificent, so enchanting and gorgeous.
"Do you feel any different?" I asked reaching out to smooth my fingers over her skin. It was so soft and it made you feel so warm.
"I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. I feel like i can anything and i can't help but feel happy." She answered wistfully, her voice even sounded the same yet there was a melodic float to it. She smiled so wide and she began laughing. I couldn't help but join in. She ran towards me and launched herself into my arms. I caught her with ease and swung her around.
"What can you do?" Kate asked excited springing forward and reaching out too touch her. When she did she pulled back with a yelp of pain.
"You burnt me." She said surprised. We looked at her in shock. Tyler reached forward and touched her. Nothing happened. Everyone else tried touching her. Kate looked on with frightened eyes.
"What's going on Kate?" Pogue asked stepping closer too her. We all looked her confused.
"How come when you touch her it burns but it doesn't happen with anyone else?" Pogue asked getting nearer too her. A voice interrupted and it was like my world when cold.
"Cause Kate's a bad little girl." He stood there looking completely normal but aged just a little bit. I grabbed Kitten close to me hiding her behind me. I don't think anybody could move.
"Chase Goodwin-Pope it's lovely to meet you." He greeted with a smirk, holding his hand out towards Kitten. At once my brothers and I turned our eyes black.
"Don't think about it Chase." I warned lowly. He gave a light hearted laugh that sent chills down my spine. His own eyes turned back and he sent a force across the room, strong enough to push us all out the way. I flew back and hit the bookshelf. I groaned in pain and managed to open my eyes. Everybody but Kitten, Kate and Chase were on the floor. Chase sent another force across the room and we were all suddenly bound in the air with invisible ropes. I struggled as much as i could.
"You harm her Chase and I'll kill." I shouted trying to get out. He laughed at my threat.
"Don't worry Blondie Little Kitten will be fine i just need her power." He replied.
Lilvia's P.O.V
He stood in front of me. If he wasn't so evil i could have classed him as good looking. Kate smirked at me and sauntered towards Chase.
"Sorry but i wanted the winning side." She sneered. Her usually beautiful faced marred with a malevolent sneer. I cocked my head to the side. I could hear Pogue and Reid shouting threats towards them.
"Come on now Princess hand it over and I'll let your friends go." Chase bargained stroking a Powerball in his hand almost threateningly. My fear grew as the blue orb in his hand. Out of no where i sent my own white and green ball at him. He and Kate were back against the large mirror. It cracked and glass shattered behind them. Chase got up with effort and through the blue orb at me. Out of no where green vines raised form the floor caught the orb and threw it back at him. He hit the glass again and staggered up; Kate gripped his arm helping herself up. Blood dripped down her beautiful skin and stained the pretty white top she wore. I smirked at her.
"White's too pure a colour for you Harlot." I informed with a smile. Millions of flies began attacking her white shirt, her scream echoed throughout the house. Chase swept his hand across with a smirk when nothing changed he tried again some of the flies left but the majority didn't.
"You might think your big shit now but I'll get you." Chase shouted angrily. He grabbed Kate's arm and they vanished. The room flew back to normal and everybody dropped to the floor. For a few seconds the room was silent and immobile then out of no where Reid hurled me towards him.
"Don't do that again. You scared the shit out of me." He muttered angrily. Holding me tighter than i ever thought her could.
"What just happened?" Pogue's voice cut through my happiness like a knife. He'd been betrayed by the person he loved.
"I'm so sorry Pogue." I apologised softly. He head shot up and he glared at me.
"Save it you stupid Fairy. Everything was fine until you fluttered in." He bit out stalking towards me. Reid moved to say something but i held him back.
"Say what you need to say." I replied calmly. He got closer to me until he was right in my face.
"You need to back off man this isn't her fault." Tyler stepped up pushing him back slightly. I shook my head.
"Leave him he needs to do this." I said, my calm tone never wavering. Pogue was toe to toe with me now; he was glaring down at me. I fluttered up slightly so we were looking each other in the eye.
"You fly in crying some sob story thinking that it makes you better then everyone else. It's probably your fault she is gone. I bet you're planning it with him." He roared angrily. His eyes began tearing up with moisture.
"It's okay to cry Pogue." I informed gently. It was like they were magical words a heartbreaking sob left his lips. I enveloped him in my arms, Charlie and Sarah sprang forward to do the same.
Kate's P.O.V
I lay naked in his bed. His mouth was leaving burning kisses all over my skin. He gad started with my feet and worked his way up. I was so wet now waiting for him to hit my core.
"Please Baby." I moaned out. He loved torturing me. It got him off so much.
"Now now beautiful we know i like to play." He smirked at me. His smirk was like an orgasm in it self.
"But I've been a naughty girl." I moaned out, my head was thrown back in ecstasy. His head raised up form my legs and he looked at me with a smirk. He covered his body with mine and kissed my lips hard.
"That's right you've been naughty and you should be rewarded." He replied his tone was so rough and charming at the same time that i couldn't help but feel the warmth in me get hotter. I looked into his eyes and they bled back he thrust into me roughly and i threw my head back at the pleasure running through me as he buried himself to the hilt.
I'd made the right choice to betray them all.
