[A/N] Rain: Because the authoress of this story is running for her life from pissed off fans I will be writing the next chapter. Remember, we love reviews!

Kain: And now a note from the authoress to you: Sorry for the long wait! I had this chapter prewritten, but I deleted the original and couldn't remember how it went! T_T

Chapter 11: Waiting

"Now what?"

"Now we wait."

Jaden stood up. "I can't just sit around and wait. We could at least see what their talking about downstairs."

"How do you plan on doing that without being caught?" Mekka sighed.

Jaden smirked. "Rain, you can hear things far away really well cause you're a vampire right?"

"I know what you're thinking, and it's not going to work." Rain said in a bored tone.

"Since we're supposed to stay up here; can someone tell me why everyone is worried about Seth?" I asked.

"I have a book that should tell us something about that." Isaac said walking over to a bookshelf next to what I assumed to be the closet door. After a few minutes of searching, he pulled out a book a dark red cover. He wiped of the light sheet of dust and sat down on the bed with it in his lap. We all watched him turn a few pages and begin to read.

"Seth was the first born prince of vampires in the main vampire clan. He believed he was the strongest person ever to exist and caused a great deal of trouble because of it. In 1988 he fell in love with a high ranking witch's daughter, Tilis. At this time, the two kingdoms were neutral so not many were opposed to their relationship. However, Seth's parents, Adrian and Cecil, thought he should keep the tradition of the pure bloods by only marrying another vampire. They believed one of the reasons Seth was marrying Tilis despite their blatant disagreement was to prove that Seth didn't have to obey them.

They argued about it for months until Adrian was convinced they should let it be. Enraged by he son's constant disobedience, Cecil decided to prove to Seth that he wasn't as strong as he thought he was." "Cecil had Tilis kidnapped and put in the least populated area of the demon's territory and told Seth that the demons had taken her hostage in attempt to get money and land from the vampires. Seth went to save her on his own but neither his, nor Cecil's plan worked. Cecil had thought that because it was the least populated area, it only held the weakest demons. He would wait for his son to be attacked then send troops to assist him to prove that he wasn't even powerful enough to destroy the weakest of demons. However, four very strong demons, two of them royal guards, attacked the prince. The troops that were suppose to assist him were attacked by many weaker demons that lived in the area. Tilis was killed in the chaos and when Seth found out the king was responsible, he murdered him and took the thrown." "He started a war with the demons. But when news of Tilis's death reached the witches, they blamed the both the demons and the vampires began their own war of revenge."

Isaac turned the page. "There's a picture of them here."

I sat up and leaned over Rain to see the picture. It was black and white. There was a beautiful girl with her hair pinned up with a butterfly hairpin; she wore a white dress that added to her natural elegance. Next to the girl stood a boy with dark hair, it looked black but it was hard to tell. He wore a white shirt with the first few buttons undone and black dress pants. Both of them looked like they were in their early twenties. Under the picture in a smaller text read. "Seth and Tilis. 1988."

Everyone looked at the picture curiously. Rain was the only one who didn't seem to care much about it.

"Rain don't you want to see the picture to?" I asked looking down at him.

"I've seen her." He replied almost mechanically.

"What do you mean? She died years before we were born." Kain pointed out.

Rain realized what he said and quickly. "No, I mean in a book. I, uh, had a book like that with a picture of her in it."

I looked at him questioningly.

"The three way war lasted two years. Seth led the vampires; Esmeralda, the queen of the witches who was best friends with Tilis's mother, led the witches; and Karim the prince of demons led his side of the war. One day, a witch who had opposed the war because of it indirectly killing the innocent, left the kingdom in search of the highly advanced beings known as angels. The witche's name was Akira."

I felt some gazes shift to me at the mention of my mother's name.

"She searched on her own and finally as she was about to give up, she met an angel outcast. But this angel was no ordinary angel, he was a nephilim; an angel and human hybrid named Tian. Together they went to inform the higher ranking angels of the war. The highest ranking angel, Michael, understood what triggered the war, but at the same time was upset because it was slowly starting to spread to the Lycan and elf territories. He knew that eventually the elves, lycans and more would be dragged into the war."

"To stop the war, he sealed off all three leaders of each of the warring kingdom's in what some call the eternal prison. All three of them lay in individual coffins, and though none of them can die because they're body's are preserved; they willl sleep for all eternity. To make sure that no one can resurrect just one of them so they can over power the other kingdoms, a curse was put on their resting place. "To awaken one, is to wake all."

The only way to reach their resting place is to use an old spell. Originally, there was only one spell, hidden underneath the castle of the angel's. But one angel betrayed the others and copied the spell. No one knows for certain where the copy of the spell is but some say that there is a device that can locate it. This device belongs to…"

Isaaac stopped.

"Belongs to who?" Mekka asked.

Isaac shook his head. "The text is too faded to read. But it does say that it is guarded by seven devils that aren't apart of the any demon clan."

"Come, it is time to go."

We turned to see a girl with bright green eyes and brown hair in the door way.

We all made our way down stairs and I gasped at the sight before me. There was a round swirling grey and black whole with strong gusts of wind coming out of it. I looked around to see if I was the only one freaked out about this.

"Don't worry kid, it's not as scary as it looks." The blue haired girl, Aquarius laughed.

Isaac and walked forward followed be Mekka and Jaden.

"Do I really have to go in THERE?" I asked.

Rain gave a reassuring smile. "I felt the same way when I was little. It's really not so bad."

"Raven, please come on?" Alice asked. "My brother needs us."

I sighed. "Alright Alice."

"I'll see you on the other side then." Mekka said jumping into the portal. Isaac jumped in followed by Mekka's dad and some other adults. Jaden sighed and took a running jump.

Kain and Alice jumped in at the same time and then it was only me, Rain, and Aquarius.

"After you scaredy cat." Aquarius said with a smirk.

Rain rolled his eyes and pulled me into the portal. I noticed it was smaller now, probably about to close.

As soon as I entered the portal it felt like an elevator dropped. It was cold and I couldn't see anything. As quickly as the feeling came it was gone and I fell on cold damp earth. I stayed completely still feeling nauseous.

"Raven, you okay?"

"Give her a sec, it's her first time through a portal."

I rolled over onto my back and saw Rain kneeling next me. "Are you feeling okay?"

I shook my head. "Please tell me we don't have to go through any more portals anytime soon." I nearly whined.

I heard a series of chuckles. Kain came over and offered me a hand.

I gladly took it and he pulled me up with ease.

"Where are we?" I asked. It was nighttime. 'How can it be nighttime? The sun hasn't even set yet!'

"We are at my castle." Isaac's father stated. I looked behind me and saw a huge castle. It looked like someplace out of a fairytale. It had huge white walls and a bluish glow on it's right because of the way the moonlight hit it.

"Woah." I breathed out.
