By the time I had gotten into the really expensive looking car with two of John's escorts behind me and by what he had said to me earlier, I know there are at least four others in a distance i cannot spot, i sat right next to Ming who had her eyes shut with dried tears on her red cheeks.
I did not know what was going on in her head and I wish I did. Her dad did not follow the same vehicle with us, i think he had some really important stuff that he had to attend to because he left before I even ended my conversation with Damien.
It did not take long before we reached our destination and I was glad to step out of the silence suffocating car. Ming stopped to say a few words to the driver and then pulled out her phone to make a quick call while i just stud in front of her current home, taking in every inch of it.
It was just like ever
Say what now?I stared at my best friend in slight shock. Okay i already knew he thinks i am crazy but i did not think it was that bad."You're joking." I said and she frowned."Take a good look at me Dian, do i look like I'm joking?"No.I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath. It was worse than I imagined. I could not let this happen. I would not let it happen."I'm guessing you don't know every thing then." Faye said this time.Ming shot Faye a glare and placed a hand on her hip, waiting."I'm not crazy." I said "everything that i told you in the plane is real and I'll prove it to you."I took a step closer to my friend and pulled up my sleeves, showing the both of them the marking behind my wrist."What is that?" They both said at th
My best friends looked at me like i had completely lost my mind. Faye sat up and looked deeply at me as if searching for some kind of a sign that i was telling a joke and Ming's eyes were wide in terror."Don't you dare think about it." Faye was the first to speak, standing fully more alert than she was before."It's the only way." I said with my head high, confident about my decision.In all honesty, I do not want to die. I was not ready to leave the world yet, for fucks sake I'm only nineteen! I haven't gotten to see the world yet. There are so many things I want to do, so much more of life that i wanted to experience, but if letting that go meant i could protect the people that i care about and every other female out there... Possibly even the world? Then yes i would give up my life if it meant no one else has to suffer anymore. No one else has to lose a child, or
"Freeze my flame?" I asked my best friend confused." Exactly.""I don't understand. ""You said that it burns right? Ever since this creature got inside you it's always hot?"" Yeah?"" It doesn't like it cold, right?"" Yeah?"" Then this should work."I groaned, tired of getting half responses from her. " Can you just cut straight to the chase and explain to me what you want to do?"" I think it's better i don't." She gave me a knowing look and that was when i remembered what George had told me.He had said that this demon.... Lilith, could hear everything around me, but it could not tap into my thoughts. So Ming was deviating from telling me more about this to avoid triggering it.Only being this close to
I had woken up with an excessive amount of pain in every corner of my body. My head hurt the most. My skin was on fire and i was having trouble clearing my vision.I looked around me as every thing started to become normal again. I was still in Ming's bathroom with a tick duvet wrapped around my smallish frame.Ming!I jumped up quickly and actually took in my environment when the memory of the previous event came up to me.Other than the thick duvet wrapped around my body, I was still on the same water soaked camisole and tight i had been wearing earlier. The cuffs on my wrists were still hanging there loosely with cuts and little washed blood that proved my struggle in pulling them off the hook.The tap were Faye had connected my wrist to was busted. I could see the material that was stuffed into the busted hole where the water was supposed to
I quickly picked up my hoodie and jeans with panic. Forcing them through my legs i grabbed my phone and rushed out of the room."Where are they?" I asked Jaime who looked much more calm than he should."Rock hospital." I cursed when I almost lost balance and fell. Jaime quickly helped me up before i could fall and cause more damage to my body. "Maybe you should stay back Deanna, I'll go and take care of everything.""No. "I did not have time for that. I did not have time for anything. Lilith said something about Ming when she appeared to me, what it was more than just a vile concussion like Faye had told him over the phone?I needed to start helping and not hurting, and staying home crying for my friend was not going to help anything or anyone so i had to go. It was non negotiable.
There is so much to life that people do not understand. So many things of an outstanding future that we do not have any idea of but instead misguide our opportunities of a life time.I was not in any category of the negligent but i wasn't given a choice. I was bonded... Again, hooked to a wooden chair that was giving me more back cramps than i already had before and having my life on a thread every single day.
Her words registered in my brain. My heart rate accelerates and I try to control my breathing.Hunter....Huntress....I shut my eyes for a second trying to plead with th
I am pretty sure that this young woman must have been tired of how deeply my eyes had been burning into her face. She looked bored, almost completely expressionless as she kept on twirling with the weird looking pocket knife in her hands.She paused and looked up at me. Her eyes cold with a deep void that could almost be missed."You said she was infected by a demon's venom. If that's t
A note from the author.We have just reached the climax. Demon host has finally come to an end right here.And I know there are so many things that have not been sorted out, so many mysteries to be solved. And you all have questions, which is why I am currently working on putting up the second part of this series "Demon's possession".This book was originally meant to be a triology series but after much consideration, I finally decided to split the first part in two, which is now "Demon Host" and "Demon's possession" because it was getting longer than I had expected, in the process now making it a four book series.I would be taking a little time off to focus on my other ongoing books till they're completed so updates on the second book might come up very slowly. I hope you all can understand.In the meantime I have already published a draft of the Demon's possession here on GoodNovel so feel free to add it to your libra
My thoughts were all over the place, i wanted to open my mouth to say something but the words did not seem to want to fall off, and just like Faye could read my mind she quickly said,"I'll go get it instead." But maybe that was just her way of quenching her curiosity and number one reason for coming here to begin with, but either ways I was somewhat grateful.Letting out an audible sigh, I quickly looked through the two dresses lying in front of me and picked up the white one, pushed it on and as quickly as I could straighten my hair with a little touch of lip gloss to my dry lips. Not exactly the look i was opting for but it would have to do. I did not want to keep him waiting.A pair of neon heals later, i was standing in the mirror again, zoning on my look. Even though i have been on numerous dates previously in my life before a part of me still felt a little nervous, maybe this would not turn out as well...I shook the thought out of my mind, strapped my purse around my shoulder a
Even though the vacancy in this small fitted diner was becoming more and more after brunch serves, the place was still noisy, filled with laughter and clashing of plates cups or glasses but yet still the silence in the tiny space at the back in our little corner booth between my friends was deafening to my ears.I watched Ming's expression contour into one of confusion and Faye's into one of disappointment.
"About?" I swallowed, not in anyway liking the intensity in the words that just fell off her lips.Ming sighed deeply, looking around to see if anyone was looking in thier direction before lowering her head and whispering one word, one name, that had my brows going up and the extra mile. "Isabella.""You know... The doctor?" She said."What about her?"" I can't really pinpoint it... But there's something up with her. " She looked like she was in deep thought, there was little wrinkle between her brows as she stared down at her fruit punch and spoke low tones. "While I was blanked... I saw something".With those words, I sat upright now full-fledged, interested in what she was saying and so was Faye.The way Ming's fingers shook when she said those words, ever so slightly i would have missed it if I was not trying to observe every bit of her movements and reactions,
MY HANDS MOVED fluently on their own accord around the scrawny sketch pad now covered in scrambled up images. I had the picture in my head yet whenever I tried to put it down to paper it always came out so wrong.'Why?'I nearly screamed out of frustration at the remedy then I stopped for just a moment to take in my hand work. It was a rough sketch indeed. The darkened lines bind with the edges of her skin put me at an edge, it wasn't even real... Yet I was jolting. This is my doing, my work, my drawing, of a creature that had hunted my dreams for so long up till now.The hollowness in the depths of it's eyes made my stomach clench. Knowing fully well that it was inside of me and it could probably see exactly what I was doing right then....or not.I remember the empty look in it's eyes like I was staring at it live all over again. But I refused to be consumed by the thought, and just
This is the first time I'm doing this, and I'm very sorry this isn't a chapter, but I felt it was necessary to let you guys know about my current predicament, mostly to avoid any hate speach or over pushing on my comment section.I'm going to be slacking a little on my updates more lately than before. Why? Because I have a life outside writing, a situation of most which I can't mention here most importantly.I'm not in a right state right now and things are a bit tough but I'm only saying this to explain why I won't be updating quite often anymore as it's affecting me gravely.And to top all of that, there's school... A very time and energy consuming thing that's also going to affect my updating schedule. Yes! I am still very much a student in every sense...But I'm going to try my very best to post at least a chapter every week. I hope you can understand, you
My eyes remained stuck staring at his dark brown ones. Fully shocked I could not seem to close my lips that now had a small space between them, hanging inches apart like a gaping fish.The waves on his natural dark coily hair stayed smoothened in perfect lines on his head. Amusement danced around his eyes as he bit on his lower lip and smoothened the rough little stubble on his chin with his index and thumb fingers, still looking right back at me.
The harsh smell of medicine and clinic hit my nostrils as I stepped into the hospital. The air-con hit me fast causing faint goosebumps to rise up my skin and a cold shiver run down my spine as I hugged my arms around myself.I did not waste time getting to Ming's hospital room. My mind was racing with a million thoughts, but overruled by then all was the hope that she was indeed awake and okay.
She stud there silently drinking in my appearance, then a heavy sigh escaped her lips as she took hurried steps and embraced me in a light hug. She cupped my face between her hands and kissed my forehead lightly, a faint smile forming on her lips."When did you get home?""Early this morning." I replied watching her cautiously. There was an edge to her features. She looked slightly u
