Chapter 13

Broken plan

Flaming dragon cut the air; his giant wings covered the skies. Waters turned into blood. The great army of demons under Devolio's commanding was marching through the gates of the Seal. When their rows disappeared below, Dracula released Seline. She hurried to Diana, still lying on the floor; blood wasn't streaming from wounds on her wrists anymore.

"Diana! Dia, awake! Come on!" she sobbed, holding the girl's head carefully. Her breath was steady and heart beat calm. Still her inner sole was far of here …

Meanwhile the dragon turned into a cloaked man with deep black eyes, in which was nothing but emptiness. The devil laughed and his laughter bounced of the sky above.

"At last! I'M FREEEE!" he then faced to Selin, who tensed when saw him. With a light wave of a hand he threw the vampiress aside, but Vlad caught her.

"That's yours … And this is mine …" Lucifer grinned, walking to Diana. He wanted to touch her face, but was broken by Sel:

"Don't even try, you …"

"Who? What did you want to say, my beauty? I am the devil, Satan, el Diablo, 'one who carries the light', call me Sir."

"In your dreams! You used her now return her to the mother!"

Lucifer laughed again.

"I warn you …" said Angelica, carried by Irvin. A pack of werewolves then jumped near. Sel could see dark red fur of Kiara, white wolf Fellan and black one – Van Helsing. Vladislaus hissed, only one mind appeared in his head: 'to kill'. He wanted to fly to the hunter, but the devil put hand on his shoulder:

"Wait, my son, you'll get him later. I should speak with your bride's friends first."

Satan walked to them:

"Greeting to you, creations of darkness! Behold my queen!" he exclaimed and raised hands. Everyone stared at Diana, covered with red lines of energy. After few moments … nothing happened.

Angelic smiled through the tears and fell on her knees at her daughter. Irvin was near. Lucifer was embarrassed: she should awake and become his slave … her sole, yes, he couldn't feel it. The anger grew inside of him and stroke like a hot storm. Fire whips splashed the air, hurting werewolves, who tried to attack him. They howled as the air filled with smell of burnt fur. Gabriel met eyes with his enemy, still holding Seline. Black jealousy awoke deep in his mind, spurring him to fight, but it was too dangerous to try while the devil was here.

Irvin put his daughter over the shoulder and grabbed his wife in the free hand and then flew away. Lucifer was too angry and furious to control his power, erupting like a volcano. Werewolves followed the family and only Dracula with Sel stayed. Satan breathed heavily, calming down.

"It seems it wasn't in your plans?" smirked Vlad, watching his fail.

"Definitively, my dear son. The demon of mine will be punished. I supposed him to give my blood to the Ancient power, to pour it in her throat if it needn't … Well, I have enough work for now. See them flying …"

The tree looked at the flaming east. Not a sun, but angels, surrounded with light, were flying to chastise the evil. Lucifer met them with a self-complacent smirk.

"Ah, Devolio has met them …"

Soon the demon's army of hell started fighting. Selin and even Vladislaus who have seen lots of battles in their lives were surprised with cruelness and dirt of this one. Bright red-and-white crowd mixed in one bail. Feathers and black blood flew in all sides.

"Hey, release me!" said Seline, pushing Dracula away. She then flew into the sky as wanted to be as far as she could from him.

'How could … How! I failed again … Why do all my love-stories finish like this? Oh, poor my little girl …' she thought, while flying over the hell below. It was really hell: buildings were ruined, the land was burnt, the Holy Order fought with the Council, humans and not even they were in panic. 'And such picture's everywhere …'

The vampiress landed on the ground gracefully. She walked then to the house of Angelic's aunt Lucien. It was quite alright because of Lucien's might. Seline run upstairs and saw Diana on the bed. Her parents were here: Angelic was reading spellbooks with hope to find the way to awake Dia and Irvin was smoking in a silent. Old Lucien was healing Kiara's burns, Fellan has already been healed and Gabriel … Where was Gabriel?

"Irvin, please, don't smoke …" asked Sel and he threw the cigarette through the window without any word.

"How's she?"

"Well, can't say exactly …" Angelica replied, looking through another book in hurry. Old witch Lucien finished with Kiara and touched Dina's eyes softly:

"She's here and nowhere, she's in the place where all ends and begins… In her birth-place …"

"But auntie, how to awake her?"

"Hard to say … Hmm, she has to do it by herself … and she has a good companion. Miss Cale knows about whom I speak …"

Everyone stared at the vampiress, but couldn't know, she just couldn't understand anything.

'So warm, so pleasant … What if I open my eyes? I'll see the devil? I don't want … I want to stay here, but it's such a strange feeling … Smells with blood … I'm protected, I'm in peace with my own … Like in mother's belly … No! I have to awake! I have to … I need …' Diana opened her eyes and found herself in a white space. No floor or ceiling, no borders, just eternity … The girl couldn't move a muscle, her body was like numbed, but she was able to look and to speak.

"Where am I?"

The silence around filled with child's laugh.

"Don't like your position, Diana?" these words as the laughter belonged to a girl at the age of eleven, floating above Diana. The girl had an angelic look with golden curls and big blue eyes, she was wearing simple white dress, but barefoot, her skin was deathly pale just like vampires'. Dia felt safe and kindness of the strange creature, seeing phosphorescence of her.

"Who are you?" asked the Ancient power, watching the girl flying freely in the white space.

The girl smiled and Diana noticed that her eyes just couldn't belong to a child because of their inner wisdom of an old and experienced person.

"I'm an angel …"

"Angel? But I thought angels have wings to fly!"

"I have wings; still they can't be seen here – in place of the Great Balance …"

"Great Balance … Wait a minute! Am I dead?"

The angel laughed at her words, spinning around in the air.

"No, but you're close to … The Balance was violated … Only you can return hope to the world if you're not afraid of reality. This world – world of dreams won't hide you from him … your common past with fallen archangel Lucifer can't be forgotten."

"Common past? I've never seen him! I don't want to fight! I … I want to be me … simple provincial girl from the Dark Valley hospital."

The girl flew closer to the lying Dia and looked deeply into her eyes:

"If you leave, the world will be ruined. Kingdom of fire and demons where humans are slaves … Think about it …"

"Well … I miss my parents and friends, I miss … one man … I want to go back!" exclaimed Diana. The angel smiled warmly.

"First you need to learn how to move here and then … By the way, my name is Mira …"
