I walked back to me and Lucian’s table. He had this knowing look on his face.“How was the rest room?”He asked leaning back in his seat “Fine”I answered while sitting down. ~•Lucian’s POV•~We got into the restaurant. Restaurant or a Café?It was not something too fancy but it was beautiful, had lots of flowers outside. Nicely furnished. Each table could have the maximum of eight people. The place was small and could only have about fifty six person at once. Each table had a vase with two daisies. We got to an empty table and everyone’s attention was diverted to us. I pulled out a chair for Emma and took her clutches from her then I took a seat across from her. A waitress came to our table and handed us a menu, smiled at me and left.I looked at the menu and the heading read Breakfast Café. So it is a Café. From what was on the menu the only things they had were mostly pastries then simple foods like pasta and noodles, and other breakfast foods. There was

I sat there staring at him. How did he manage to look better in casual wears. I was used to seeing him looking all gothic that I could barely recognize him. He was wearing a plain black t- shirt with a black sweat pants.“How do I looked?”He asked me spreading his arms “Different”I replied shaking my head “Different good or different bad”“Different good I answered”“I know “Of course still arrogant, clothes surely did not change that.“Well, I guess we have fulfilled all our agendas for today, let us go home “I said standing up from the chair and holding on to my clutches. “Not quite, still have a lunch to be present at”I had completely forgotten about the lunch he had with the waitress. “Oh that. I have forgotten. We have a problem”“What is it?”“You see the bags, I cannot carry them my self cause of these”She lifted up one of the clutches.“That would not be a problem. I would carry it home then we go get lunch “We? It almost sounded like he meant the both of us having

Lucian set the table and he dished out soup for both of us. It smelled so nice. I tasted it and it was divine. It felt nice to have someone care about you, even if I made it this way.I looked over at Lucian, his face wore no expression. It seems like the only time they did was when he was talking to me.“What is it?, don’t you like the food? Not to your liking?”I asked him He looked up from his plate and looked at me and he smiled.It was really only when he looked at me he had an expression.“It is to my liking”“Oh, doesn’t look like it”“What should I do, smile while I am eating?”He asked being sarcastic and I laughed a little. He shook his head and went back to eating.“You seem happy “He said after a while without looking at me“Mm?”I said with food in my mouth. I was not understanding him. Happy about what?“When the old lady came over. You were pleased to meet her”“What is wrong with that?”I asked him“Nothing, just strange. I thought you did not like the old lady”He a

Emma had made me return the bowls to the old lady. I just wanted to give them back and be on my way but she kept me busy. Young man you look strong, could you help me carry this item from over there to my backyard, I have been meaning to move it, but you see I don’t have that sort of strength any more.I had no choice but to accept. It was not just one task, there came many more and she kept trying to get information out of me concerning myself, concerning Emma and our so called relationship.With all these happening I realized she was just a lonely old lady who dwelled on gossip as a leisure activity like every other old person.She said she had two children, her son apparently died while serving while her daughter got married and moved away, had children but she never saw her after she got wedded.There was a short moment I felt uneasy. It came again and I could not ignore it.“Ma’am no matter how I am enjoying this talk we have going on I fear I have to leave now, I can not leave

I was cradled up on my bed, having the urge to cry. Would this change things between us. I don’t want things to be awkward between us. I always reprimanded myself for acting on impulse except this was not on impulse. I really wanted to and I felt that he would want the same cause of the look I saw in his eyes. Or I thought I saw in his eyes. I fell like an idiot. How would he see me now. I just wanted to sleep, wake up and not remember anything. ~•Lucian’s POV•~I could tell Emma was hurt but that was not my intention. She had kissed me but I stopped her. I felt like she was just over whelmed by every thing that had happened and sort for condolences. It was not like I did not want that too, I wanted it Soo bad but I did not want to do anything when I know she is not in her right state of mind. But would Emma see it that way? Would she not see it as a rejection. I tendered to her cuts and applied the ointment that Francis instructed me to and I excused my self.

I was looking at my reflection in the mirror, I looked beautiful. I was on an black lace gown that was tight fitting down to the knee. The gown had a deep neck showing a little cleavage but it’s back was even deeper, ending at my waist line. At the knee were layers and layers of net that made it a flowing. The fitting of the dress brought out every curve on my body showing my perfect hour glass body. I had curled my hair and combed it out making it weaving and let it flow down to my waste intentionally to cover my exposed skin. I added six pins on my hair to keep it in place. I put on my silver mask to match my accessories. I walked out of my room feeling anxious, what would be Lucien’s reaction, would he like it. I went to the parlor to meet him. He was already dressed. He was in an all black suit but accessorized with a silver tie and silver cufflinks and just like me he wore a silver mask. We dressed to match since we were going together.When he saw me he looked star struck. The

I could not believe it, I looked round at everyone then at the stage I could see Claudine’s angry face. She stormed off the stage angrily and no one seemed to have noticed.“Let the dance begin”The host said and the music started again.Lucian looked at me as if asking for my permission, slowly I held unto his shoulders while he wrapped his hands around my waist and slowly we moved in accordance to the music. I avoided eye contact with him, the closeness was enough to make me shy. I kept shifting my gaze from the ceiling to the crowd then the stage. “Look at me Emma”Lucian said in a soft tone. I looked to my left before shifting my gaze to him then our eyes locked. Looking at him now it was impossible to look away. The air was getting tense but it was not long before I got lost in his eyes. It felt like everyone began to vanish and it was only us left in the hall because right now he was all I saw.His eyes, his lips, his beautiful body, he is just perfect.Earlier today I could no

LILITH’S POV My life seemed to have upended, I sat in my lair and slowly watched, watched how everything came crashing down. I stayed low and watched how everything that i had built with my blood, sweat, and tears came tumbling down.And the realisation that I had failed my own people attacked me, such force that held me captive.The blood curling screams and painful grunts always found its way to my ear every darned time, reminding me how much I had failed. But I wasn’t going to just sit here and watch my life crumble like this, I was going to fight.And fight I would. But first, I needed to keep my shadow safe, keep it safe because fucking Lyra would have known.Known that the only way she could kill me was by trapping my shadow first, and if at all I was going to go down, I had to do that with a fight.“So, what do you suggest?” My shadow asked, a huge smile plastered across her face as she stared right back at me.“I suggest we fight” I whispered slowly, gently rubbing my templ

TANESHA’S POV I could taste the blood in the air, blood wrenching cries polluting the already still air, several screams and cries cutting across each other.The fight had lasted for two nights, and three mornings to be precise, blood flew freely across the fields, several bodies sprawled across the field.“Come Tanesha, we don’t have business here. This part of the field belongs to the werewolves” Mother called gently, her dark gown billowing against her as we made our way to where our kind stood, their black cloaks forming a dark cloud as they waited patiently for us, their dark eyes ripping through mine.“She isn’t one of ours” a brawny witch hissed, her dark orbs shooting daggers at me.“She is our only path to salvation” Mother replied, her slender finger wrapping my bicep protectively.“The resistance would be here soon. All you need to do is stand by us no matter what. It is an order Tanesha” mother gritted harshly, her smooth voice made my heart swell with pride.“Sure mom”

BRIAN’S POV Fucking hell yes, finally I could taste the victory on my tongue, I could smell it, I could feel the power running through my veins in torrent. If this is what Victory finally felt like, then I was thrilled with it.“What do you think Lilith would do with this one” Andrea spat bitterly, tipping her head towards a worn-out verity. “Finish her off, I guess” I muttered through gritted teeth, her sunken eyes casting a lazy glare at me, all I wanted to do was shove her fucking tongue into her mouth, and make her choke on the darned thing.“And she?” she asked again, her broody orbs taking in Emma’s unconscious form, her facial features too relaxed for her own good.“I have no idea” I muttered slowly, rubbing my chest slowly to fucking calm my raging heart, I wasn’t supposed to feel this way.“We are home” Andrea muttered slowly as the horde ball made a descent towards the fields, a great feast already setting in motion as people hurriedly came to welcome us, their mouths pl

EMMA’S POV I felt half of my memory freeze, no matter how hard I had tried to remember the last event that had happened, I couldn’t. I couldn’t feel, couldn’t see, and worse Lyra and Caspian weren’t here, I remember pulling them through the portal, I remember following them closely behind, remember the argument I had with Lyra in the portal I could still feel her harsh voice ringing aggressively in my ear, before that crazy sound tore into us, separating us.“Welcome home” A sultry voice called out, several pair of orbs staring right back at me immediately I had tumbled into my own house.Only that my house didn’t look like it belonged to me any longer, like I was the stranger in my own home.Like I was the outsider looking in.“Stay back Emma” Lucien growled, making his way to my front, protecting me.“I assured you to hold onto your sanity a little while longer, didn’t I?” Mordecai cackled, her masked face crinkling up to show a wide smile. She was sitting on my damn couch, and

LILITH’S POV I knew the moment I stepped out with Luke, the crazy dimwit would start their little coup, planning how to send the qián jīn yuán to Greisha, what they didn’t know was that along with Greisha’s death came their own downfall.That was just how life worked, I couldn’t forgive betrayal, and they had betrayed me one too many times, and once I finally found a way to cut the string that bound me to Verity, I was going to cut her off.I couldn’t stand the stench of traitors, they irked me, I mean If you wanted to be bad, you had to remain bad to the very fucking end.This wasn’t a Gatsby story where one had a change of mind, and suddenly realised that they wanted to do good things. No, this was fucking real life.“Luke” I spat bitterly, not missing the slight look of fear that flitted across his face. “Yes ma’am?” He replied, avoiding my gaze at all cost.“Find out where Tyrone is, I am giving you just two days, two days, or I would seal your faith” I sneered lowly, enjo

LUCIEN’S POV I could feel hot coals burning the back of my eye, the people of St. Montero were just so mean. I mean, they had a fire beneath their eyes that scorched one, turning them into fucking grit and rubble.The past forty eight hours that we had spent in here, we had managed to garner a lot of hatred, and I am not even joking, a whole lot.Some had even sent us away with several curses, their eyes snickering with Anger.“How the hell are we going to find Lyra now, they don’t even want to have anything to do with us” Emma whined, her eyebrow scrunched in frustration as she sat helplessly on one of the wooden benches that lay scattered across the meadow that led up to the heart of St. Montero Our haven for now, that is if they’ve not yet sent guards down here. I wondered how someone so sacred in books, was treated like filth or rather a curse was disturbing.The harsh orange sun scorched us blindly as we helplessly gazed far away wasn’t even

LILITH’S POV Anger,I felt it before it even materialized, the thought of blowing the head of everyone seated on this table into tiny fucking bits and pieces swirling through my head. Their downturn lips infuriated me a whole lot more.“Who made the darned order” I asked a little bit calmly this time, my whole head sizzling in anger.“Nobody, Nobody is saying anything” u seethe, trying to block the jumbled thoughts playing in my head.“Trisha issued the order, ma’am, and we went through with it,” Luke from I T finally replied, hisses and sneers accompanying his reply.“You know what you guys have done, you’ve made us enemies with earth, did you see the news, did you see how Tyrone was going after our fucking heads” I shrieked, looking round the table, the remorse on their faces stifling.“Well since you all laid your fucking beds, I think you should all lie on it, The resistance would not fucking stop Because we murdered one of theirs and captured another, and what did you do?

EMMA’S POV It took four days before we finally got to St. Montago, the sea had been brutal thrashing us in its turbulent waves, I had fallen ill during the journey, so I was finally glad at the feel of dry land, my whole body still sore from being in one position all day long.“DO you need to rest? There’s an Inn here; I suggest we rest; St. Montero isn’t far from here,” Lucien said, his big, burly figure caving in with exhaustion.“Why don’t we go to St Montero today, board an Inn, and tomorrow we look for Lyra?” I suggested, pulling him slightly over the noisy Market, several stall owners calling out to people passing by.“Why Emma?“I don’t think it is safe here, Lucien; I saw hordes here when we shot down from the boat earlier,” I whispered harshly, gently looking around for anything suspicious.The street teemed with several people as they each went about their business, their noses buried deep inside whatever it

EMMA’S POV The whispers just wouldn’t stop. They thawed away at my head, each harsh whisper filling up every hole and crevice of my whole body, not even when I was falling through the unknown with a certain speed that no man on earth could ever beat. Each harsh whisper drilling the words Hunt, maim, and kill in my ear as we dropped down, making sure I didn’t leave Lucien’s embrace, a smokeless cloud hanging over us as we fell rapidly through the portal with a loud thud, the desert sounds flying into our mouths as we rapidly tried to spit the sands out frantically. The humid air clung onto us frantically as Lucien carried the knapsack that was filled to the brim with supplies across his back.“So this is it” I muttered dreadfully, staring at the vast lands that laid before me, the current of the horde island, reaching far into this place.“We need to move fast, Emma, I felt the presence of the obsidian order while we wer
