“Do you think this will help her?” Joanne asked from the table. “I think she’s been up for at least three days.”

“I hope so for her sake.” Bart said, watching her sleep for a few minutes. Me too. She’s been exhausted for the last few days. I know it’s been taking a toll on her. Especially after how she sat in the shower practically all day yesterday. I wonder if it has anything to with that contracted demon… They said that attack would end after it was purified.

“What should we do in the meantime?” Conor asked softly. He kissed her lips again. “I mean, I could cuddle her, but I feel like she needs some really good rest.” Undisturbed sleep is the best thing for her right now.

“Let’s play Onde! I’m gonna win Conor! You owe me from last time!” Joanne commented as she cleared off the table with the exception of Conor’s breakfast. “I can at least make back the money I lost before I have to see father tonight…” She went to her night bag and pulled out a deck of cards.

    -Karen-Ugh… My head hurts… “Ten times now.” Eldon’s voice replied from the above me. Ten times? For what?“I thought when I purified the demon, the attack was over?” Nathan asked quietly. What demon? “Really?”“Contracted demons kill after purification. Especially since it touched her. They are the worst kind of demon to be summoned. I don’t like them being used because of the damage they do…” Eldon explained as I slowly sat up and looked from the bed to the ground. Contracted… Demon? What happened? Why am I on the floor?“Did I fall out of bed?” I asked out loud. My head is pounding… Even my ears hurt! “Ugh…” I held my head in my hands as my head throbbed. I looked to the left and saw Nathan and Eldon staring down at me. Uh? “Nathan? What are you doing here?” I asked getting up and rubbing my face. “What happened?”“I came to take you home, Karen, where you truly belong!” Nathan replied, grabbing my left wrist. Ouch… “You aren’t safe here with them.” He sneered looking over to the d

    -Karen-I released my tight grip on Conor and picked up my jewel to get a better look at it. It was weird to see it in a new shape and a lighter color, but it fit much better in my hand versus it being a simple sphere. “I died… Didn’t I, Conor?” I asked as I examined the stone. I can’t explain a new stone any other way… “Yeah… For the second time this year.” Conor replied quietly. I looked up and he looked stoic. Don’t cry baby! “Are you sure you’re alright?” I asked instinctively cupping his cheek. I’m right here with you! Right where I plan to be until I die.“As long as I can keep you alive, I’ll be just fine. I promise.” He said softly. I heard my stomach growl and felt my face get hot as he chuckled at me. Oh… I’m starving… How embarrassing. “I think it’s time for lunch… And then a lesson… If you’re up for it?” Maybe…Bart and Joanne walked over to us. They were staring at me and it was sort of unnerving. “I can't believe you died and that man was able to revive you again…” Joa

    -Karen-I picked up the next parcel and opened it even more eagerly. The dark gray robes were just as pretty as the violet robes. There were variations of purple, black and silver in the fabric but there was a touch of lace on the cuffs and the collar. “Oh! It has lace like the under dress!! It looks so regal Conor!” I was thoroughly impressed with the robes. These are so pretty too! Lacey and powerful looking!“I wanted them to be similar but also unique. Let’s take this one off of you for now because I want to see how the black set fit.” Conor instructed as Joanne came over and carefully folded the gray robes. Conor helped me out of the purple robes and then handed them to her.I picked up the last package while Bart answered the door. Lunch had arrived and I was starving but I wanted to see these robes. I opened the last parcel and the fabric alone was incredible. It looked like the night sky with pops of magenta, purples, blues, silver and white. How breathtaking! It’s just like t

    -Conor-Bart and Joanne had spent the night back in their own apartment. Bart chuckled lightly when he and Joanne arrived back at the apartments the next morning. “Tired from last night, Jo?” She nodded sleepily while Bart carefully woke Conor up without waking up Karen. “Morning Conor…” Conor rubbed his face and nodded. He looked down at Karen and kissed her cheek. “So, what do we want to do about this situation?” Bart asked quietly. Conor stretched and went to get some clothes. Joanne gave them both a sleepy look and then crawled into bed next to Karen. After putting some boxers on, Conor walked over to the chaise silently and sat down. Bart sat down next to him quietly. “Have you thought about it at all?” They looked over at Joanne and Karen who were both fast asleep. Joanne was hugging Karen while Karen mumbled in her sleep. I rubbed off on her! That’s hilarious! Conor chuckled quietly under his breath. “I rubbed off on her Bart… She’s been mumbling in her sleep since she woke up

    -Karen-I felt his lips attack mine and then my neck. Mm… My eyes fluttered open as he kissed me again. Before I could say anything he set a small white box on my chest and then laid his head down on my left shoulder. A ring box? “Morning handsome… What is it? A present?” I asked sleepily picking up the box. I felt like I was asleep for a lot longer than a night. I feel kinda groggy… How long was I asleep for? I chalked the thought up to just being exhausted from the sleepless nights I had previously.“Close your eyes, my love.” He replied with a sweet smile. I closed my eyes and waited. Maybe it’s a new promise ring? I told him he didn’t have to get one… But we’re both stubborn. I could hear the box open and then it was gently placed back on my chest. “Keep them closed, Kay.” He instructed as I grinned anxiously. But I want to see what it is! I felt him move next to my left ear and breathlessly whisper, “Open...”I opened my eyes and saw a gorgeous ring sitting in the middle of the b

    -Karen- I opened a quick portal to the Rose Garden. I closed it promptly after Joanne walked through behind me. I looked out over my garden and my jaw dropped. Oh, my goodness! All the beds had been replanted with new rose bushes and smaller ground flowers covered what had originally been dirt. I love this! My garden is alive again… So many purple roses… Joanne hugged me and whispered. “Surprise Kay. We wanted to make this as special as possible for you both. I hope you are happy with the choices we made.” I hugged her tightly and nodded. “It’s magnificent! Thank you so much! I absolutely love it!” I looked over at the now running fountain and saw Bart and Conor standing there with Charles. “And the fountain is working again too! It’s been so long since it was running. I didn’t have the money for the part, so I had to let it go… It’s so beautiful!” How sweet! How thoughtful and amazing… Now I just have to take care of it and make sure it doesn’t die again!“Time to face the music, K

    -Karen-“What am I giving you in return, Conor?” I asked him with a frown. “I don’t have any gifts for you…” Always giving me things and I can’t return the favor. It makes me sad... Husband.“A lifetime of happiness will suffice.” Conor replied motioning for me to open the box. “You can give me something tonight.” I laughed lightly shaking my head. Those aren’t a real present Conor! “I was already going to do that though…” I grumbled while he chuckled. I opened the box and saw an odd, shaped disc full of shiny purple, gray, clear and black stones sitting on a velvet pad. What the hell is it? A necklace maybe? Or some type of weird bracelet? It’s pretty but I haven’t seen something like this before… I picked it up and tried to figure it out for a few minutes. It’s slightly pointed towards the center and the gems are in no particular order that I can tell… “What is it? A necklace?” I asked him slightly confused. I placed it around my neck, and it clattered to the table. “This necklace

    -Karen-Forty minutes later, “I can't take this, Kay!” He hissed trying to catch his breath. “Mercy! Please grant me mercy!” He shouted as I kept pushing him towards the edge of oblivion. “I’m begging you!” He cried out as I continued working him down. I squeezed him tightly as he tensed up entirely. He looks like he wants to kill me or marry me all over again. It took him ten full minutes to catch his breath entirely as I watched him in amused silence. “I begged for mercy several times… And you still threw me over the edge… You devious vixen!” He pursed his lips. I enjoyed that. Not even going to lie!“Just returning the favor… Dispel.” I giggled as he glared. I felt the additional strength vanish immediately “Well? Did I at least do a decent job?” I asked lying down on top of him, grinning from ear to ear.He laughed after a few more minutes. “That was thoroughly impressive, Karen. Talk about raising the damn stakes… How the hell do I compete with that?” He rubbed his face and gave

    -Conor-“I have a terrible feeling about this Nathan. We need to go to her. As soon as possible.” Conor said pacing back and forth in front of all the Mages. “After she lost consciousness, Eldon came and took her away. All he said was that she was being summoned by a tree. That's when a portal was made for me to come back here.”Nathan's eyes got wide and he lost the coloring in his face. “The Tree summoned her?” A serious yet terrified look remained on his face. Alexander started screaming making everyone jump. A portal opened and everyone stood up while Joanne worked to calm him down. “Karen?” Conor asked feeling hopeful. Eldon walked through carrying her, but he was stoic. “She’s going to be okay, right?”Eldon gently placed her into his arms. He didn’t answer right away. “Not exactly.” The portal shut as all the Mages gathered around. “As you know, she won the war against your father with your help. However, she lost the fight.” He said quietly. “Senescence, has deemed that she i

    “Soul Release.” I whispered quietly. I watched as the souls compressed into different color orbs and floated away on the breeze. Bombs started falling around me while breathing became harder. “Healing Serenity.” I’ve used a flurry of spells and I still have a small chunk of magic left. I can easily get two or three more Master spells… I think. I decided to change positions so I could get a better aim at the last large ship flying around. I still have those small ships too… I took a deep breath and sent a Blazing Hypernova up to the middle area of the small ships. They all exploded in a bright flash and the wreckage fell to the destroyed town. I looked around for the large ship, but a bullet ricocheted very close to where I stood. Suddenly, more soldiers appeared charging at me.“Frostfire Surge!” I shouted angrily. All the soldiers shouted in pain and collapsed dead around us in heaps. I pointed up at the sky as the ship tried to leave again. “Blazing Hypernova!” Due to the high level

  • Lucevkin Dreams   Karen vs Zachary

    -Karen-A blow to the back of the head put me on the ground faster than I ever thought possible. Blow after blow was delivered as I squirmed to get away, but Zachary pinned me under him and continued to land a barrage of punches. He yelled and screamed about what I had done to his family. I grabbed his ankle and let him have a taste of ‘Lightning Surge’. It bought me enough precious time to weakly get to my knees.“Recovery Salvo.” I shakily got to my feet and leaned against the wall, but he was no where to be seen. I looked around nervously, but nothing moved. I heard the bullets before I felt them. Hot metal burrowed its way into my right thigh followed by my abdomen, left arm and chest. I collapsed in heap trying to fight the massive amounts of pain I felt. “Healing Serenity!” I whispered under my breath. Damn, another healing spell… I whispered for a portal and fled to the shadows of a building across town. There were still so many ships in the air, and I was starting to feel the

    -Karen-“We don’t have a choice anymore!” I snapped back frustratedly. “This is it, Conor- We fight or we die- I’m not about to let him claim victory. There is going to have to be a risk in order to win this fight. I plan on coming back, you know.”“But what if you don’t, Kay? What if Eldon doesn’t revive you?” Conor asked firmly. He cupped my face and stared me in the eyes. “What if you’re gone forever?” What if… Such a big 'what if' and its running through my mind too.I didn’t answer him right away. “I’m going to die someday. I’d rather die fighting for my family and the people I care about than to run and live in fear wondering if today will be the day. As long as I don’t exhaust my magic and turn into a demon, I should be fine.” I’ve used a small bit of my magic, but I still have more than plenty. As long as I can take them out in fifteen to twenty Master level attacks, it should be okay. Permitting this doesn’t drag out for very long.I could see he was very much not accepting o

    -Karen-“Your sudden jerking movements re-opened a wound I repaired.” Bart explained as I lay still looking up at the ceiling of the empty crypt bed. “I stitched it closed but you can't be doing those type of movements yet.” I sighed feeling useless as another bomb shook the ground.“Let me put some salve on her stitches, doctor.” Valerie murmured rubbing in a sweet smelling cream. “This should help numb the stitches so they won't hurt if you do have to move.”“Thank you both.” I replied, slowly sitting up. “Those bombs have been falling for the last three days now. How much more punishment can the main floor of the Crypts take?” I asked Nathan, feeling uneasy about our situation.I could see that Nathan was very reluctant to answer. “It probably won't be much longer, honestly. We have to make some hard choices now. The only other place we can go is the Forest and that has its own set of challenges and hazards as you know.” He heaved a heavy sigh, rubbing his face from the growing pre

    -Karen-At the snap of my fingers, my brother’s arms were torn from his body. Screams of agony echoed around me while the soldiers took aim at me. A soldier was yelling, but I paid him no mind. I heard the same soldier call my brother’s name, Marcus, telling him to hold on. I giggled softly enjoying this scary side of myself and met Marcus’s now terrified yet agonized gaze. “Marcus… I’m going to annihilate you and as I do, I will make sure that your soul quivers in unimaginable terror.” He some how lost more coloring in is face at my calm words“Ground Spears!” I shouted angrily punching up into the air. The soldiers that surrounded us were now high up on the points of the spears with blood gushing and dripping down the jagged rocks, more groans and moans of pain filling the air which was tainted with the scent of blood. “Soul Snatch!” I ripped the wispy soul out of the body, and he looked terrified. “Soul’s Doom!” Just like before, a white demon charged right at him and shredded his

    -Karen-I woke up enveloped in warmth, but I was extremely sore. I really felt like I hit every tree branch coming down from that fall. So sweet- He changed my dress. The orchid under dress. I looked over to my right and saw Conor and Alexander cuddled up next to me both sleeping with their mouths open. Ha- My loves. “Conor!” I whispered softly. I tried to roll over and found out that was a mistake. Ah! I’m still busted up pretty badly… I grabbed his hand that was cupping my left cheek and gently squeezed it. Wake up!Without opening his eyes, “You’re the most recklessly insane person I know, Karen Anne Elizabeth. That was awe-inspiring, terrifying and thrilling all at once, but I don’t want to repeat that any time soon.” Conor said rubbing my cheek with his index finger. Mm. So warm… “We’ve only lost two ships in two separate incidents before but that was insane!” He opened an eye and leaned into me. “You have a lot of injuries still. You broke lots of bones. Bet you’re sore?”“Very!

    -Karen-Conor groaned while rubbing his face and then looked up at me. He rubbed his eyes again. “Is that really you, Kay? You’re not an illusion, right?” He whispered sitting up quickly and grabbing my left hand pressing my palm to his lips. “You know I’m not upset with you- Don’t you?” I dropped my gaze feeling so much shame as I stood before him. “I-”“You may not be upset but I am.” I interrupted quietly. “I just see myself punching you and then charging at Joanne and then the nightmares I had. I may not be cursed anymore but the weight of my guilt is so heavy. I feel like I should just die and end everything once and for all. But that wouldn’t be fair to you or to Alex.” I closed the gap between us and hugged him tightly. “I love you Conor. I love you and I hate that I only hurt you… I feel like I do nothing but that.”He was silent but he held me tightly to him after he pulled me onto his lap. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this again.” Conor kissed my cheek and nuzzled my

    -Karen-Sweet kisses on my lips woke me up though it took me several minutes to realize I was in bed next to Conor. As soon as I did, I tried to move away from him. “Ah ah ah!” He captured me quickly and pulled me back to him. No. Please don’t!I completely avoided his gazes and wouldn’t let him kiss me at all. “Karen- You won’t even look at me.” I could hear the disappointment in his voice. “Alexander cried all night after you left. Will you at least hug him?” I shook my head. “He says Mama now.” I don’t care. I can’t be here anymore! I only hurt you. I can’t continue to be a danger to you and everyone else here.I took advantage of the situation and pulled away from him. “Karen! Wait!” I left the tent as quickly as I could hearing him following me. “Please just listen to me!”All eyes were on me and it shot me right back to the memory of charging at Joanne. I dashed to the clearing and left the camp as fast as I could. I raced back to the Royal Crypt, crying the whole way. The guilt
