CHAPTER 55

LENA.

Scarlett was in the sprint team. She had brought the school enough championship cups and she was just about to win a scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country.

And just like that, she met her death.

I didn't see her dead body this time. She was carried off in an ambulance and we the students had to watch as the ambulance drove away.

"No. This can't be real." A girl beside me cried. She had been wiping her tears and sniffling since we came here. "She can't just go like that. She was just running this afternoon. How the fuck is she dead?"

I turned to look at her boyfriend, Doug. Tears ran down his cheeks as his friends held onto him comfortingly. I felt his pain. I saw the grief in his eyes. He didn't deserve any of this and yet, this was it for him. This was fucking it for him.

Sighing, I blinked back tears before backing away from the people standing and watching.

Things were getting out of hand. Something had to be

    CHAPTER 56 LENA. The truth was that I had turned Xander down once upon a time. He had been so mad and had threatened me not to tell anyone that I did. Not that I was scared of him or what he was capable of doing, I just didn't have it in me to tell anyone that he had asked me out. Not even Leah. He didn't hold an important place in my life so he wasn't even a topic for discussion. But Damon is. I rolled my eyes as I shut my locker. "Oh, please. You know why I am so keen on him." Let's believe that it is just that. As promised, Damon had dropped by at the bleachers where I sat to finish up an assignment I hadn't done. Mr Finn didn't remember the detention. A lot had been happening in school lately so I expected him not to see it as anything. Sitting at the bleachers was like a suicide move, owing to the face that Igor had died here. But I wasn't afraid. Infact, I wanted whoever was doing the killings to come after me now that I was alone. But it was just Damon.

    CHAPTER 57 LENA. And so, I rode with him on his motorcycle, hating the sound of this exhaust blasting through the wind as he sped towards my home. The smell of smoke and oil and Damon's scent remained with me throughout the whole ride. "Thanks for the ride," I muttered under my breath as I pulled off the helmet from my head. I handed it over to him, feeling a zing of energy as our fingers brushed for a brief moment. He cleared his throat and nodded. I caught a flicker of something indecipherable in his eyes. It was gone as soon as it came. Or maybe I was just imagining things. "Uhm," He began as he placed his helmet on the space behind him. "You're not going to ask me to come in?" My. Things did feel different. I didn't feel the anger I used to feel towards him. It wasn't there. I also didn't see him as a threat. He was just there. Standing and staring at me through those eyes of his. Wisps of his hair fell over his forehead and he brushed it back for a moment and

    CHAPTER 58 LENA. I was going to draw the eyes of everyone at the party today. It was definite. I stood in front of my mirror, smoothing down the tiny creases on the burgundy silk dress I was wearing. I had gotten it from Shein one time while shopping online with Leah over facetime. I had sent her the photo and she immediately gobbled it up, begging me to buy it so she could see me wear it. It stopped above my thigh and it had a slit running up my right thigh. My back was bare, save for thin straps criss-crossing across my back to hold the bodice in place. Thin strapped arm held a pair of v-shaped cups that held my breasts. My cleavage was open. Like very open but I thanked the goddess that I had small breasts. I turned to look at my behind to see that my hips were accentuated by this dress. As much as I hated to admit that I had wider hips than most girls, it was the reality of my life. I didn't like it so much but there was nothing I could do now. I had to convince Xan

    CHAPTER 59 LENA. He was like a fucking tag that refused to come off my dress no matter how hard I used my teeth. We exchanged glances and I knew why he was here. I tried not to look like I was affected by his presence. Instead, I said. "Can we go to the door? We need Xander to let us in," I caught a glimpse of Luke and Trevor through the transparent floor to ceiling windows that lined the eastern part of the mansion. They had party cups in their hands and were talking excitedly about something. Lucky brats. "Alright," Leah said and we began walking towards the entrance. People walked through once they showed their invitation cards and I regretted why I hadn't collected a few from the girl from yesterday. She was the one at the fucking door so that meant I had the chance. She had been nice to me and all of that even when I tried to discourage people from attending the party. She was dressed in a silver dress covered in silver sequins. It was an A-line strapless

    CHAPTER 60 LENA. I forced a smile that didn't get to my eyes and waved at him. I could still redeem myself. It didn't matter if Leah was in the wrong. "Hi, Xander." His smile faltered and my heart skipped. "And what are you doing here?" I took the last step and stood in front of him. His eyes moved to my cleavage and lingered there before he looked into my eyes. I wasn't going to get mad about the way he looked at me even if it made me feel damn uncomfortable. "I came to your party." I replied. "I know things have been shitty between us and I hurt you but trust me, I didn't mean any of that," He scoffed. This wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. "So trying to talk people out of attending my party was what then?" Shit. "I was so unhappy yesterday, Xander. Watching people die and partying felt so weird to me. It's just, after I lost my mum, things stopped making sense," I looked into his eyes to see the sympathy that had slipped in. This was fucking low but I ha

    CHAPTER 61 LENA. I found Trevor and Luke standing in front of the pool. They were ogling at girls taking off their clothes and jumping into the pool. Most of them were drunk and laughing loudly. I had to cover my ears as I walked towards them. I tapped Luke who turned to look at me. His eyes were bright but I knew he wasn't drunk. Trevor was about to go off to talk to one of the girls giving him the come-hither look but I grabbed him back and pulled him away from the pool. When he saw that it was me, he blanched. "Lena. I didn't know you were close by. I just wanted to ask her—" I pushed my hand into his face. "Save the cock and bull story, Trevor. I don't want to hear anything you have to say. You all must have forgotten that we are here for a reason. What the fuck are you guys drinking?" Luke and Trevor looked into their cups. They looked confused for a moment and Luke had to bring the cup to his nose. So he had no idea what they were taking in?! "It's a fruit p

    CHAPTER 62 LENA. "You okay?" "Yes, thank you." I was seated on the bed with a glass of water in my head. Damon had helped me out of another weird attack again and I couldn't even hate him more. My attacks were becoming more frequent now, happening whenever things had gone wrong— I sat up with wide eyes. Damon looked up at me from where he stood by the window. "Is something wrong?" I ignored him and climbed out of the bed and in my quest to stabilize myself, I staggered. In two strides, he was standing beside me. His fingers gripped my arms firmly to hold me in place. "You good, Lena? You shouldn't be on your feet. That was why I asked you to rest for now," He said. His voice was laced with worry and I was starting to think it was all for show. I smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, I am. Thank you, Damon." He saw that I wasn't going to listen to his pleas for me to stay back and rest a bit. "You don't look good but I'll walk you to wherever you're going." I

    CHAPTER 63 LENA. I had considered sitting outside with him. I mean, it was Damon, the boy I hated with everything in my soul. We walked to the back of the house and I tried to ignore the fact that his hands were in mine. He was holding me from falling and I tried not to fall into the realization of his hands being firm and soft at the same time. Leah had seen us leaving but she didn't seem to care. But I knew that deep down, she was mad. ADD A Luke had to get a wind of what had been happening behind him as I was tired of being the one to always cover up her dirty deeds for her. He really loved her and they were meant for each other. I wasn't going to let whatever feelings she had for Damon come in the way of their relationship. "A penny for your thoughts?" I stretched out my hand. Damon looked down at it and laughed before digging his hand into his pocket and placing a dollar bill on my palm. I folded it over and stuck it into the side of my dress. "I didn't see t

    CHAPTER 127 (Epilogue) LENA. "Do you think this is a good idea?" I asked Damon as I slipped into a simple gown. One I usually wore when going to important meetings. Damon, who had slept over, all thanks to my Dad who gave him the permission, was still on the bed typing away at his phone. He looked up at me. "What's that? The meeting?" I nodded. "Yes." He climbed out of the bed and placed his phone on it before walking over to where I stood and cupping my cheeks. "Yes, love. It is an absolutely good idea. An opportunity for me to make it up to everyone and I don't think I can do it without you. So get dressed and let's go to the council meeting." "Okay?" I nodded. We arrived late. The meeting had started about an hour ago and just as we stepped in, everyone turned to look at us. Master Choi was at the door. He smiled at me. "You did it." I looked at Damon who shook his head. He didn't want me telling people what happened. It was our little secret and I was going to keep it f

    CHAPTER 126 LENA. We were back in Willow Town. Directly in front of the tree close to the portal. Damon decided that closing it for good was the best idea. And I agreed to it. As soon as it was closed, I turned to him with a bright smile on my face. "I still can't believe that this is already over. It ended as soon as it began." "It wasn't easy anyway." Damon replied as he parted a branch for me to pass through. "I thought I was going to die for real. Metheus he...he makes me so afraid." "But he's gone now," I took his hand in mine and we intertwined fingers. "He's gone for good." "And I am happy." He sighed and looked at me. I pushed back a lock of his hair that fell over his face. "I am so happy, Lena. I am happy to be here with you. I want to help now. This is my way of repaying my sins." "It wasn't your fault," I said to him as we burst out of the woods. I smiled, seeing that my car was still there. It was almost dawn and I could tell from the way the skies

    CHAPTER 125 LENA. "She is the weakest of them all," He snarled, his feet leaving the ground as he floated into his air and commanded darkness. "I thought we were bringing some challenges. But this one? She's going to be dead before this ends." "Don't listen to him, Lena. He's trying to make you afraid of him. It's what he does." This was definitely harder than I thought. I was just coming out from the shock of seeing everyone that had died in the attack and having to let them go for good. There was this pain and burning hatred in my chest and it was all directed at the man standing before me. He was evil, menacingly cunning like the Devil and I saw why Damon was so afraid of him. I would be too. But I wasn't. All I wanted to do was avenge the death of my mother and everyone else. I had vanquished all of his demons, had his sons all locked up in abyss and it was just me and him against the whole fucking world. He was strong, I had to admit that. None of

    CHAPTER 124 DAMON. Wyverns. I hated them with everything in me. They were the bane of my existence and my father had used these creatures to traumatize me a whole lot of times. I didn't even want to think about it. But Lena was standing beside me and she didn't look the least afraid. "They are an illusion, Lena," I informed her. "Created in his mind and brought to life like a hologram." She nodded. "That means we go for him?" I nodded. He wasn't here yet but that was the memo. "Yes." From the tower, we could see the Palace. There were several entrances on each floor and I knew which he was going to step out from. More wyverns flew out through the dome of the castle, flapping their dark, veiny wings and screeching into the night air as they flew around. One swooped down to our level and I ducked, pulling Lena along with me. "Their talons are sharp enough to kill you." "Not if we kill them first." "My father, remember?" She nodded. Just as we mo

    CHAPTER 123 LENA. My smile didn't falter. Not even when uncertainty creeped in. "Trap?" I burst into laughter. "That's nice. What type of trap though? A bobby trap?" I burst into laughter when I noticed how their frowns deepened. "We have no time for that. You're going to calmly walk to us and you're going to surrender. Unless you want us to force you." Slowly, my arms spread out. My eyes darted over to the other side of the wall. It was just Damon there. Just as he shook his head at me with panic in his eyes, he was pulled off the wall forcefully. I frowned and darted my eyes back to the men before looking back at the fort. Damon was in combat with Stefan. What the fuck? Something was wrong and Damon was unaware. Closing my eyes, I felt my powers bubble up from my insides. My eyes opened and I didn't miss the shock on the men's faces. A smirk curled up my lips and I drew close, feeling frost coat on my fingers. One of the guards broke out of the others and

    CHAPTER 122 DAMON. We both took a seat on one of the tree logs and maintained an awkward silence. She probably didn't care but I did. I wanted to tell her that I missed her and that I wanted to kiss her full on the lips. That I wanted to touch her and sink my fingers into her hair. But she didn't seem to be in the mood for all that. If there was someone more determined than Stefan, then she had to be the one. She placed her backpack on the floor and zipped it open before grabbing a bottle of water and a croissant. She looked at me and raised it into the air in a way of asking me if I was going to eat but I shook her head and smiled at her in appreciation. Nodding, she sank her teeth into the croissant and began to chew slowly as she took a look around. She gulped down her water and kicked at a stone. I knew she was avoiding me. I knew she was avoiding getting into a conversation with me. Sighing, I leaned against the tree trunk close to me and watched her while she a

    CHAPTER 121 LENA. Everything on my mind right now tethered towards ending all of this and defeating Metheus. I couldn't process anything other than that and even if a tiny bit of me still felt something for him, I decided to process those feelings first before saying anything. "So what do we do now?" I asked as I kick started the engine. "Uhm, we should see your father before doing anything else. He's missed you." I gave him a hard look. "If we do not do this now, I don't know when we will. Someone else is going to die." A look of hurt flashed in his eyes but it was gone as soon as it came. He nodded. "I wasn't planning on killing anyone after that but you're right." "Where are we driving to?" I asked as I slowly backed away before making a turn in the middle of the road. "And know that if you lead me down the wrong road and try to kill me, I'll rip you apart before you blink." He's not going to harm you. "I don't care!" I snapped back at her, not minding

    CHAPTER 120 DAMON. We were seated in her car now. It had taken a lot for her to let me sit in the passenger seat. What hurt the most was how she avoided me when I tried to touch her. It felt like she was repulsed by me and it hurt really bad. It wasn't her fault anyway. I had brought this on myself. I had hurt her terribly and I knew she wasn't going to ever forgive me. Hell, I wasn't going to forgive myself for putting her through too much pain. Her fingers were wrapped around the steering wheel and her knuckles had turned white from having to grip it tightly. Once again, it was my fault. I wasn't even going to blame her for something I did. I wanted to reach out to her. I wanted to touch her so bad. I had planned a lot for her return. I had made a lot of collages of both of us and we had even set up a surprise party for her when she returned. I had set up a date for us both together before I took her back to my place. But today of all days, tragedy struck and I cou

He had looked like he was waiting for the downfall of Willow Pack and now...Damon? It had to be a dream. I shook my head and tried clearing my head but he was still standing before him, shock written all over his face and for the first time, I saw who he really was. For the first time, it clicked. It all started to make sense. The dark aura, the confusion that had come with him. It was all starting to manifest right now and I couldn't find my Damon anymore. I didn't see the boy I was in love with. All I could see was a murderer. A beast. A fucking killer and a demon. I tried to speak but my words got caught in my throat. My eyes darted over to the dead bodies. The amber glow of the streetlights around it burnished against the pale skin of the dead bodies, making them look ethe
