Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story
Chapter 15: The Bonds That Bind
Selena sat on her window seat only wrapped in a blanket. Her gaze was distant and thoughtful. This devil walked into her life not to long ago and he had turned it upside down so quickly. The fact that Shadow called him King only strengthen things. The were dragon let her date but didn't allow it to go past kissing. He wouldn't allow them to take her virginity.
Now you know why Mistress, a deep voice said from the shadows.
I've been longing for something that I never knew existed. I was drawn to him yet I didn't want to accept it or reason with it.
You were searching for something that was hidden.
Lucian is a loner Mistress. He is always on the outside never quiet wanting to be surrounded by others.
With a twin like Ebony? Its no wonder.
Mistress be serious. Loners are dangerous.
Then why let him near me?
Because you are going to change that and quickly.
You have great faith in me and its misplaced.
That's what you think.
How can I change that?
I've gotten word through Serenity that Anna has the Blood of Love and Life.
Selena swore inwardly. She knew now why she had to change Lucian's tune and soon. Anna would die for him and Ebony. The Dragon Queen knew that Ebony adored Anna like a best friend. Shadow took leave of his Mistress to let her think this over. Moving quietly she went to her drawers and got dressed. Her outfit was black pants and a black tank top. Turning to watch Lucian she noticed he was still awake.
You know Lucian your a fool for denying the devil within.
She picked up her trench coat and flung it over her shoulder and headed out the door.
Lucian was confused by what they had been talking about. Blood of Love and Life? What could that mean?' He shook it off. Getting up he put his clothes back on. Before he left the room he looked at the bed remembering what had gone on not to long ago. With a slight growl he dashed out the door determined to find out what the Blood of Love and Life was. He was a black blur through the shadows in the streets. His passage drew the attention of the devils that hid amoung the shadows. Evil grins twisted their cruel faces as they followed him into the darkness.
Lucian was heading towards Devil May Cry to confront the were dragon. Something was off however as he approached the place. A large silver dragon lay across the front porch blocking the way into the door. Her head came up to look him strait in the eyes.
Get out of my way Serenity.
Ebony opened the door feeling her brothers approach and tripped over Serenity and landed almost face first on the floor boards. A slate gray furry body broke her fall. The body wrapped their arms around her to steady her.
Are you all right? a growly voice came from her savior.
She looked up and a werewolf looked back at her.
You are sure?
Yeah I'm sure. You can let go of me now.
The werewolf made sure she was steady before letting her go. He changed back to his normal wolf form. (okay he has three forms. the human, wolf, and werewolf.) He stood quietly out of the way.
Lucian how did your hunt go?
Ebony move that stupid silver dragon before I kill her. I want Annabelle to answer my questions.
The Blood of Love and Life.
Ebony was taken aback. He wasn't suppose to know about that. IF he wanted answer that couldn't be good. She didn't know much herself but she trusted Anna. The were dragon didn't have to stay with her as she died but she had.
Why do you need to know about that? she questioned.
I don't need to answer you, he snarled.
Something inside him was clawing towards the surface trying to get out. It was something completely dark and he didn't know what it was. Ebony walked slowly towards her brother sensing his unrest. The problem Lucian had was that he couldn't come to terms with his darker half so he just repressed it hurting him in the process.
Ebony get out of my way, he growled.
No, Anna saved us that night and you refused to see it.
he snarled.
His voice was becoming darker by the moment. Soon his true devil nature would break free.
Lucian calm down before you unleash something you can't control. Something you've denied your entire life.
What would you know devil spawn?
His eyes were changing color rapidly. His clothes and hair were shifting in the wind that his power was creating. Ebony slowly approached him that was her mistake. A resounding crack was heard as flesh met flesh.
Two heads jerked up as flesh met flesh. Both females were stunned into silence but got up.
When everyone blinked Ebony had a red mark on her face. Her hand raised up to touch the sore spot where her brother had just hit her. Her eyes flashed dangerously.
You'll regret that, she growled.
Getting into a fighting stance she was ready to kick her brothers ass for daring to hurt the one thing that was completely willing to protect her.
(cliff hanger peoples. Brother and sister throat to throat. That occurs in many families. this is a battle worth the effort of reading)
