Im soo sorry i havnt updated forever. School has been hectic and i didnt get many reviews to motivate me :( Anyway Enjoy!!


The Atrox smirked at Jo and with the knife turned to Damien beside her and sliced his forearm. Jo was confused and the confusion showed on her face.

"Did you really think you all could become traitors and get away with it? I know Stanton is in love with a Daughter. I've known for a while now and while he thought he was safe, I was planning. I planned a way to finally destroy the daughters once and for all. And now you are wondering why I sliced your boyfriends arm and not his throat? It's because he is still useful to me. It's all part of my plan. Turn and look at him now."

Jo broke the Atrox's gaze to turn to Damien. He was clutching his arm. His eyes were in pain and were changing! His dark emerald eyes were slowly turning to coal black. She became scared when his muscles started to ripple under his skin and when he opened his eyes again to stare at her, he was different.

He was not the same person as before. There was a hungry look in his eyes, which were century's years old. He was not who he was pretending to be. He was evil.

Jo instinctually took a step back from him. Why was this happening? Everything was going wrong. The man she loved was…. She didn't even know how to describe him.

Stanton watched the hurt and fear play out over his little sister's face. His heart ached for her. She loved Damien and he was pretty sure Damien loved her too. Why didn't he tell her his secret? That he was a monster?

He had no idea that the Atrox had been playing him the entire time. He had to kill him and he might be strong enough to succeed if no more interruptions happened. But what was he going to do with Damien. If the Atrox signaled to him then everyone will be dead soon.

His mind searched Serena's and filled her in on what was happening. Her memories on how they had been captured filled his head and made him furious on the Daughters treatment, though Serena had not been hurt. They were all ready to fight for their friends.

The Atrox smiled. He could feel the ideas and thoughts going through everyone's head. He reached over to the throne next to him and touched his beautiful masterpiece that he created. She was gorgeous and powerful, if only she would care for him. She hated him. He sighed, time to start the fun.

"Enjoy the sight my dear."

Then Damien started to go out of control. He hunched down like an animal and started to stalk Serena.

Serena panicked. What could she do? None of her centuries of experience could ever prepare her for something like this. She suddenly froze as a cold mind touched hers. Thinking at first that it was the Atrox, she quickly through barriers around her mind, and then she realized that it was Damien!

Letting him in, she searched him over. He was silent. He was horrified at himself for hurting her. Quickly he showed her the memories of why he was like this.

She silently gasped when she pulled out of them. A whole minute had occurred between them and she didn't have much time left before the beast in him would destroy her.

Damien was half human and half demon. His mother had been a maiden in ancient Athens who had dedicated her life to the Goddess Selene. She had fallen in love with a warrior who was tricked by the Atrox to become his slave demon. They were granted one night together after that so that the warrior would be hurt knowing he could never be with the woman he loved.

She had become pregnant with him, and he had dedicated his life to Selene also, when he had been born, but realized that when his blood was shed he became a demon through his father's heritage and was unable to stop the Atrox calling.

Jo was filled with the new knowledge and scanned her mind to find out a way to cool Damien down enough for him to gain control again. What could she do?

Serena watched Stanton. She was relieved that he was not evil and that he was on their side again. Glancing at Tianna, she felt her heart ache feeling the pain of the girl who had once been one of her sisters. Next her eyes went to Jo. She was locked eyes at Damien and they gazed at each other for a minute before Damien went back to growling and circling her.

A sudden confusion towards the thrones, where Tianna and the Atrox were reclining, captured her attention. Tianna had thrown herself at the Atrox to try to stop his control over Damien.

It didn't work out the way she hoped it would, but the ending had the same result. It afforded Jo a distraction for her to jump into Damien and throw her arms around him. When she had a good hold on him she pushed her lips to his.

Damien's demon was momentarily startled, but it gave Damien the leverage to gain control over his body again. While the Atrox was distracted with Damien and Tianna, Stanton raced to them and hurled all his power at the evil lord. It hit him in the chest and he never had a chance to say anything when he had disintegrated. However he had his Tianna too and she smiled at him in thanks as her soul rested in the hands of Selene again.

Meanwhile while everyone else was fighting their battles they over looked the soldiers and guards posted around the room. They responded to the attack made on their lord, which gave the Daughters something to vent their anger on.

Of course they smoked them and looking the part of the Goddess' that they were, not one piece of clothing had been touched.

Jo smiled into Damien's lips as he kissed her back. The happiness was euphoric. They broke apart to stare at a blue light coming from the thrones.

Stanton glowed as he received all the power of the Atrox. He was officially in charge of Nefandus and all of its followers, his followers now. He smirked at the power and climbed down to take Serena in his arms.

Jo was happy for her brother. She was happy for the daughters and she was happy for herself. She was at peace and hopefully would be able to lead a normal life now. Now that Nefandus would be turned around with Stanton at the command.
