As much as I enjoyed the sparring, I had a guardian to find. I called forth my bow, it's golden curves covered in intricate silver designs and gold string. I called forth a white feather dipped in silver. Nocked it and let it fly towards my target, striking her in the right shoulder. Everyone one of her motions stopped, no blood flowed from the wound I gave her. She couldn't even blink if she wanted too, I froze her in place I wanted my guardian that I could now feel again, but knowing who she was before I sent her back to hell took precedence at the moment. Freezing her and her powers seemed to break whatever she did to block my guardian’s energy from me. I moved closer to her in an instant, placing my hand to her head. I tried to pull information from her. To no avail, she was successfully blocking her thoughts from me. I probed harder, breaking down the walls she formed in her head. I got flashes of images, there was a temple, her in white her named flashed in my mind Menat. A h
My demon half let loose. I continued my attack on her. She wasn't able to fend me off. I wasn't even at full power I pinned her to the sandy seafloor threw her head to the side, Adrian placed his hand on the back of my shoulder gave it a gentle squeeze and it calmed my demon. She practically purred at Adrian's contact, with Menat still pinned underneath I held her there with my power to give me a minute to calm my brain. Adrian’s touch was distracting me. I was more focused on him than I was on Menat or finding my guardians. I was like a bitch in heat with just a single touch from him. Focus I screamed internally to myself, I shook Adrian’s hand off me. I turned back to Menat, who was now gone and two black feathers in her place. “Where’d she go ???” I yelled internally, I looked at Adrian he shrugged I guess he was under the same spell as me when we touched. “Michael, where are you?” within seconds he was right there next to Adrian, he was disheveled “What happened to you? Where di
The demon part of me took control. I couldn't control myself until Adrian touched me, then I become obsessed with his touch lost focus. By the time I came too, all I had sawed were his feathers.” Adrian spoke to Michael, “Jassmyine needs to feed before we go out for now on from the both of us. It's the only way for her to stay focused on the missions. Her behavior is like a newly made vampire consumed with the bloodlust.” Michael responded with, “ Yes, I agree it will help keep those around her safe.” Okay so now they're going to talk about me like I’m not even here? “Umm hello excuse me I’m right here can you not talk about me like I’m not here! I’m not a child. You will not talk to me as if I am one and if I remember correctly you were just as stuck as I was Adrian. I lost control that's it I feel like once I get my human part, I’ll be more balanced and obviously, the more guardians we find, the stronger I get which in turn means more control of myself and cravings.” They both agree
My mind cleared.I shot up from the bottom of the sea to the clouds in a single breath dodging the fisherman boat careful not to sink it. Michael and Adrian not far behind me. We were hovering in the sky the humans watching us in awe. What the hell, I landed on the bow in full display to the fishermen Michael and Adrian hovered behind me. None of the three men said anything at first they just stared at us. I took a step towards them. they dropped to their knees faces on the floor. “ No please rise, my Father and Mother have sent us to you. You have lost your faith in them due to all your hardships and suffering. Lucifer and his fallen have wreaked havoc on mankind and installed fear into you. We're here to remind you that your suffering will soon come to an end, through the Father and the Mother I can replenish the sea. All you have to do is renew your faith in them. They sacrificed their only son, so your sins will be forgiven. Do you believe in the Father and the Mother?” I didn'
And that's what we did we stayed for hours and broke bread with the villagers and performed a few miracles to show them that my parents did not leave them as they were lead to believe. That they were still loved and all-forgiving. We left the village with our hearts, full and happy. It was time to continue on our path. I once again focused on energy. The three of us shot into the sky, we crossed vast amounts of sand, and just over the horizon, we saw the tips of pyramids we passed them continuing south following the Nile River. The pull was getting stronger as long as I stayed honed into their powers. When the pull felt the strongest, we stopped. I let the pull guide me as far as I could see there wasn’t another living soul. We landed I couldn’t help but feel like no one was here. I looked at the guys and asked them, “did I miss something? I mean I can still feel the pull in the pit of my stomach. In fact…” I trailed off and opened the ground next to me and below was not earth but st
There she laid. I floated closer to her till we were just an inch apart. I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled into the queen's open mouth. My breath infused her body, her dehydrated flesh became soft and supple, eyes filled the empty sockets, flesh covered them, she had high cheekbones, full lips reappeared. The color of her skin was dark and glowing, her breast filled out, the more her flesh filled out her curves were being revealed. She was tall and slender, she was absolutely breathtaking. Once her body had reverted back to its original form, I called forth her canopic jars, breathing life back into them and placing them back in her body. Now all that was left to do is place her soul back and awaken her. “He guys mind if I get some power from you. I don’t know how she’s gonna feel leaving the veil. But I need her soul back.” I closed my eyes and called forth her soul. I visualized myself taking her from the veil and putting her back in her body. Good, now it’s time awaken Queen
I looked at Adrian “can you hear her too?” Adrian nodded his head. “So you two feel the link with her too?” both of the guys nodded and Nefertari looked at them and said, “I feel a strange connection to the both of you why” Adrian replied, “I am the general of the fallen to Jassmyine and Michael here is the general to the angels. As far as we can tell, you are one of her human guardians but not a general. I feel we should be on our way to find the other pull of energy. I felt a spike in your power the moment you linked to her. Do you have any special gifts or powers?” “I guess that makes sense, so you,” she said motioning in my direction “ brought me back to life? And now I’m linked or bonded to all of you?” I answered, “Yes, you are bonded to all of us, and soon we will have another to join us. Again, do you have any abilities?” Nefertari shyly nodded her head. “ When I was alive the first time, I could feel the feelings of others and see their auras.” Michael asked her, “can you s
Tears fell from his eyes, he held his breath as his eyes darted from side to side, trying to see everything Nefertari showed him. Dropping to his knees weeping. Adrians skins to smoke and I had to cut the shared vision off. “Adrian that's enough once your soul is fully redeemed can you stand to be in the veil.” He looked at me like a lost child, “I was in the veil the actual Silver City, where the Father and Mother are? Wait that woman and the baby they're your family. You are a twin and a creator. You took His place to save him from the pain and suffering. There is so much more to you than I thought. Also makes sense of why Michael here calls you Little Goddess” I nodded “Let’s go we have another guardian close by.” I phased through the burial chamber to the surface. I brought the others to me, turning to Nefertari can you fly? She tried in every way to but to no avail. “Okay, so no wings and no blinking for you. Do you mind being carried?” Nefertari simply said, “What should I call
Oliva’s point of viewRayne and the duke seemed to be very familiar with one another. The duke was too familiar with Miss. Rayne. He always found a way to touch her, whether it be her hand, touching her tresses, her face when he decided to be so bold as to run his thumb along her bottom plump lip. “M’lord that is inappropriate touching right, there save that till after ye two are married.” The duke turned his face to glare at me. I stared at the man right back into his eyes and refused to look away. The corner of his mouth twitched up into a smirk, he opened his mouth slightly and ran his tongue over his unusually long tooth ensuring that saw it, before turning his attention back onto Miss. Rayne. I do not trust this man and I will be keepin me eye on this devil. “Miss. Rayne, it's time to retire to your room, miss.” “Nurse, I haven't finished my meal, I’m having a very stimulating conversation with the duke.” “Now miss you have all day tomorrow to talk with the duke.” “Oliva,” S
A scream escaped my mothers mouth as she witnessed the events as they unfolded, followed by the thud of Godric's body hitting the floor. “ I’m sorry you had to bare witness to that, I protect what is mine.” Sam stated looking at both my mother and my father. My father jumped out of his chair and turned towards me, grabbing me roughly by my arm, “This is due to you, speaking out of turn…” Sam grabbed my father’s hand forcing him to remove his hand from my arm. “Like I said I have no issue with right now, but do not take you being her father mean I will not do the same to you as I just did to the piece of shit laying on your floor if you lay another finger on her.” The look on my father’s face was pure outrage. “The contract is signed and she is mine rightfully and as stated in the binding contract I will stay here until we are married so your daughter would have the chance to know me. But I can clearly see that I now have a stronger conviction to stay and ensure her safety from the lik
My father paid no attention to the rake of man standing next to him. A servant announces that dinner was ready. “We should be seated, please follow me please.” My mother says, Marquess Browne offers his arm to me and I reluctantly take it as we begin to follow my parents to the dining hall. “You look lovely tonight my dear,” he says to me. I feign shyness, “thank you my lord, your compliment is most gracious.” “My lord” the butler addressed my father, “Duke Angelo has arrived and has requested to speak with you on an urgent matter.” My mother looks at my father quizzingly, he drops my mothers arm leaving us with the marquee. “Shall we?” my mother says, gesturing her hand towards the dining hall. Marquess Browne offers my mother his other arm, escorting us. Upon reaching the dining table the marquee pulls out my mothers chair to the left of the chair at the head of the table. As the marquee comes around to the other side of the table where he and I sit. I hear the laughter of my fat
“I see you have been rolling around in the grass again Rayne.” My mother sucked in her teeth and gave a scathing look to my nurse. “Ma’am I apologize, miss wanted to pick some of the more difficult herbs and tripped on her skirts…” My nurse tried to explain before my mother cut her off, “I don’t care what excuses you have for being late and she is supposed to be ready already. You know what today means if the marquess is fancied enough a marriage offer will be extended, which means a higher station for us.Put on her best dress and make haste.” My mother ordered both me and my nurse. “Not to worry, miss, many men fancy you. From what I hear from the servants that accompany your mother on her errands, your father has turned down many requests for your hand in marriage now that you're of age.” My nurse said to try to lift my spirits. I smile tightly back at her and nod my head. “The marquess miss you should be lucky to have him calling on you. He is not bad looking and very athletic too
With her hands on her lips she gives me a look that says she doesn;t believe me. “Off with ya, your father and mother are expecting visitors this eve for dinner. You miss need to get ready for it.” I stand up and dust the dirt from my skirts and comb my fingers through my hair picking out the grass that was caught in it. “Do you know who is coming?” She softens her face and looks at me sympathetically, “Aye miss I do, when we arrive at the manor you are to get changed in one of your finer dresses. Your father has arranged a suitor for ye the Marquess.” She says with pride. “Now let's be off.” She reaches for my hand and drags in the direction of the manor. I look behind me towards the tree line where Sam went, a stray tear escapes my eye. I yank my hand from my nurse's grasp,and turn back around “what do you think your doing miss?” She all but yells at me. “I forgot my basket, let me grab it.” I slowly make my way back to my basket. When a pebble hits my hand ouch I rub my hand and l
I sit once again in silence, I begin to hear a hum in the distance. I look up and stare straight ahead as a faint light no bigger than pin prick, which quickly began to multiply in every direction. Until the once dark prison was full of bright light that quickly surrounded me. It was all the power I had released being reabsorbed into my body. My flesh glowing and warmth invaded my soul. I could now feel the missing pieces of soul reuniting feeling whole again. Before I could relish in feeling one again, I felt an odd sensation in my center like a hot poker burning me from the inside out. I scream and claw at my middle; the pain only intensifies. The burning spreads to every limb until I’m consumed in heavenly fire. “Rayne,” I hear my nurse calling for me. “Where have you run off to?” I quickly gathered my basket full of herbs I was collecting. “Sam,” I whispered frantically. Sam’s head pops up amongst the tall grass, grinning at me. I run to him “ I must be off, she can't catch us to
“Michael…Michael where are you? Where am I? What is this place?” I slowly get up off the hard ground. I waver as I gather my footing. The ground beneath my feet is smooth and cold. I turn in a full circle and see nothing but darkness. “Mother, Father?” I scream into the endless void. My pleas go unanswered, I’m here alone. Where are my guardians? Have my parents really created a prison to hold me? This isn’t right. I'm supposed to be reborn. Why am I here? What have I done to warrant this punishment from my parents? No I refuse their prisoner I gather my power and release it in an explosion looking for weak points to try and escape. “You will not hold me here!!!” I scream at the top of my lungs to my parents to anyone or thing that would listen. I send another blast of power stronger than the last, nothing happens. It's like this hell, limbo, prison absorbs every last drop of my power. My knees buckle, no this can’t be happening. I bang my fist against the ground and it splinters und
He was very tall, broad shoulders, sun kissed bronze skin. He has a warriors build, long wavy chestnut hair. He looked up at me and winked mischievous emerald green eyes fanned my thick dark eyelashes met mine. Thick eyebrows with a perfect arch, strong square jaw and lush lips that screamed kiss me. I Screamed “Michael!!” I abandoned Lucifer and ran towards Michael. As I got closer to him my life force sought his. When they finally met a gold flame lite up the entire church. I continued to run into his open arms. When I finally reached him he wrapped his arms tightly around me. Kissing my forehead. Looking up at him tears blurred my vision. It was him it was really him, he smelled of spice and lemon. With both hands he grabbed my face and kissed my with all the passion he could. He lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist. And I did so happily “I love you Little Goddess.” He kissed me again and within that moment Cammy had somehow gotten my arrow. She used it to stab Mic
I closed my eyes, focused on the power radiating from him. I forced him to appear before me kneeling, his down. “Look at me Luc.” When he didn't I forced him to. I deep scar ran down his eyebrow and into his lip. “Luci I should finish you off here and now.” “So why don't you?” “You know why. And it’s not because I love you.” He laughed in my face, “Michael is weak, he let his feelings for me cloud his judgement and your doing the same.” He spat at my feet “and you call me weak and pathetic?” I backhanded him and he hit the floor. “Touch my father again and he dies.” I quickly turned around and there was Cammy and a man held at knife point. Holding Lucifer in place I looked back at him. “Your daughter? Are you serious?” “What I don't look like the fatherly type to you? I placed her in your path, and like the sap you are; you can't deny an innocent child’s request. It was too easy to manipulate that weak heart of yours. You actually sent her off to live and be raised by your brother
