Brielle's POVIt was now the moment we have been waiting for. This part of the ritual had to be done by me. Now that we have acquired the hell fire, it was time I do what I was meant to do so we can finally part ways with Julian and Xavier." Deceiving us was wrong, Kyra but I'll consider that you ultimately helped us in the end. Let us complete the final step and then all of us will then go our sepernt ways."" Thank you for understanding. I will find a way in the future to repay you."We went to another room with Julian and Xavier with us.I had the flame with me and it's still surreal that I went through such lengths to get it. I wasn't going to complain. My soul doesn't matter if it means that I get to keep my family safe and ensures that we do not suffer the same tragedy all of over again. No matter how had I tried, I couldn't bring myself to have faith in their word. It was my mistake back then. This is just Rte price to fix it." Alright. What do I need to do to get get this ov
2 weeks laterBlake's POVI was sitting beside Brielle as she slept peacefully. It's been a very rough fortnight. Ever since that night, everything has been bleak. As the days go by without any change from her I get scared. The baby is fine but Brielle won't wake up. I am afraid that she might stay in such a state for a long time. What of our child. She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to
Brielle's POV" Relax. I'm not here for that."No soul? Then what? What would a demon be doing here if not to come and collect what he is owed? That is not really what concerns me at the moment. I want to survive. I can't leave yet." What do you want. Tell me!" I acted tough. I can't show that I am scared." Must you always think the worst of me? I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in
Blake's POVIt's been an hour since I came down as my mother requested. I was sitting amongst everyone but my mind was back with Brielle. Each moment spent away from her, I he'd back from running back to her. I was so lost, everything happening in front of me was a blur. I couldn't be there anymore. I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside. She had her back facing me. I felt all kinds of emotions flowing through me as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Not un
5 months laterBrielle's POVI didn't know that pregnancy would be such a pain. Mood swings, swollen feet, cravings, back pain, you name it. I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart
Brielle's POV5 years later"Yay! Mommy I did it, I did it!" River jumped up and down in joy after scoring a goal. Blake ran towards him and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder and spun him around." Good shot my boy! You are a super star!" Blake said to river.Mia got on her feet as well. She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising. She pulled River's leg and he lost his balance and fell off the tree, breaking his arm.I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to do. She
Brielle's POV " Do you have everything you need packed Brie?" My mom asks for the millionth time. " Yes, mom. I am ready," I reply while I continue loading my bags into the car. She said nothing else and stood there awkwardly. I know what she was thinking but there was no turning back for me. I wanted to go and it is what is best for all of us. " All set," I say while closing the car trunk. " Okay now that is done we can go wait in the house-" I cut her off knowing what she was about to say. " No mom. He won't come to see me off. Let's just go. I don't want to wait any longer," I say dismissively. She looked sad and disappointed but there was nothing I could do. You might be wondering what's going on. So the story is... a long story. Right now I am all packed and ready to move to my grandparent's place in Lunaris. I was about to begin my senior year and I needed a fresh, clean slate to start. It's been a rough couple of years since my parents started falling out and everything
Brielle's POVIt's been a week since my mom dropped me off at my gramps. It was hard separating from my mother but as I said. This is all for the best. All of us need to figure out a way forward without each other. I was laying on my mother's bed in her old room. Everything was the way she left it, says her. I got a glimpse of what my mom was like during her teenage years. She was as girly as a girl can get alright. Her room was full of pink, purple, and light colors. The walls were full of some photos of boy bands and her friend's pictures. She was one popular girl.It was a normal teenage girl's room. I wished to change anything about it. It made me feel my mother's presence. I came across some of her diaries that she kept. I don't know if she forgot about them or if she decided to leave them here. I have been debating with myself if I should read them or not. I wanted to but it felt like I would be invading her privacy. It would be intruding on her thoughts that she couldn't share

Blake's POVI've been playing along with what Kyra said for long enough. Now that this demon has been summoned, I'm not going to let my guard down or stay back. My duty here is to protect Brielle until everything is over. And that Kyra, she completely deceived us. She never mentioned that she knew this Kael demon. Why would she do that? Something about this just doesn't feel right." Whats the price for the flame?" Brielle asked. I still didn't let her come in front. Whatever happens, I will stand in front her like a shield. It's a good thing she wasn't protesting." Mmh, nothing much. I just need a soul. One should for this exchange," Kael said nonchalantly like what he wants was a piece of cake." Any soul?" Brielle askedI turned to look at her. Her expression was cold as she looked at Kael." No, not just any soul. I've been surrounded by rotten souls for such a long time. This time, I want a pure soul.. If you can manage that, then we have a deal."Something with the way he was l
Brielle's POVThings were proceeding as planned. It's been four days since we visited Kyra. Tonight was the night we perform the summoning ceremony. As for Xavier and Julian, Blake has already dealt with them and they understand everything about the ceremony. We informed everyone as well and they were worried but supportive as well.I blame myself for everything that is going on. If I just did not put that spell on them, they might have not been in our lives right now. If only I could turn back time. I would be able to set a lot things right. But enough about that. I can't do anything about that but I can so something right now. I should get ready. It's going to be a difficult night.I was in the room when I heard someone knock on the door." Come in," I saidMorgan came inside the room. She looked worried. She's been trying to stop me from going. I understand that age is concerned but I can't stop now." I'm just here to wish you luck before you. I would hate for you to leave without
Brielle's POVI was nervous the whole time but I glad I was with Blake. What Kyra was saying made a lot of sense. Although I never read too much into it, I know that no living ham can acquire hellfire. I was just hoping there would be an easy way out of this mess.I was a witch but I must admit that I never got to fully develop. I was a novice witch. I can't say I wish I stayed at the coven with my mother bacause then my life would have been miserable. I lived her but she was a control freak. She wanted to keep me sheltered and away from the world. I felt like a bird in a cage. I wanted to go out and experience the world, live amongst the people and be a part of the bigger world.I get that sh wanted to protect us but I didn't want to live in darkness without ever experiencing the beauty of the world and life. In any case, it's all in the past. What's done is done. Even so, I hope to become a better mom to my child. I hope I can do it.Blake looks at me when Kyra mentioned a demon pac
