That night of the confrontation with Lucifer’s people took a lot out of my new guardians. Which, in turn, took a lot out of the guys and me. Rameses and Nefertari fell asleep first. We learned that Celestria came from the East on an island surrounded by water. Her island was called Japan. Like Adrian, she dreamt of me and followed the pull and made her way to me. She told us along the way she, unfortunately, ran into what she called the dark ones. She was able to fight them off with her scream. Which was impressive, the fallen were formidable. Celestia was the next one to fall asleep, her head resting on my shoulder, her breathing soft. Still laying against Micheals' chest, he played with the loose strands of my hair. Adrian picked up a few strands and played with them feeling them between his fingers, holding it up against the fire and even smelled it. He was analyzing it, ”have you not ever seen hair before Adrian?” I whispered with amusement."Of course I have, yours is differ
Sleep came easily, especially surrounded by my guardians. No dreams came to me, just the dark. My mind was fully conscious while I slept. I felt something nudging at my mind trying to find a way in. Soon enough, they found their way in, and Lucifer's presence filled my mind, his consciousness tried to overpower my own. “Let me in Little Goddess,” his voice whispered in my head. “Never,” “Don't you miss me? Don't you miss the way I filled you?” I blocked the images of my rape. He was trying to push into my head. My powers took mine and Lucifer's consciousness to another realm. It was pitch black, I looked down at my hand, my essence glowed gold. I looked back up, there he was towering over me his essence a muted white. My Lucifer used to glow as bright as any star, but he isn't my Lucifer anymore. He turned his back on all of us. His ‘soul’ is tainted. I reached up and cupped my hand on his cheek tears rolling down my face, “what happened to you, Luci?” I asked crying he leaned into m
You ruined everything.” Lucifer’s grip on me loosened, “but I also gained so much because of what you did.I can’t thank you enough for it, Luc. Because of you, Father and Mother gave me my guardians a new purpose an impossible task. I feel more because of you, they gave me Michael. I love him. I could never love you as I do him, I’m not sorry for that. Michael is really a part of me. I feel him in my soul; he's my other half. I know it. So thank you, I now know love.” Lucifer grabbed my arm violently and backhanded me, knocking me to the ground “NO! You are mine, I was made for you, no one will get between us again. Not God, not Michael no one” I got up from the ground “Lucifer, I loved you once but not anymore. The Lucifer I knew would never hurt me. You're a monster, how could I ever care let alone love anyone so focused on destroying everything? Once I'm back to my full powers, I plan to wipe you from existence. My parents won't be there to stop me again.” ”Hahahaha, like you coul
Now I laughed ”really Luc that was your big plan? Michael would never turn his back on me. He's not a coward like you and those who fell with you.” Lucifer groped my breast, ”You think I like that? Maybe Michael can give you pointers on what I like.” He took a deep breath letting go of his grip on my throat. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me on the lips, sucking softly on my lower lip. I turned my head away from him. ”No Luc stop it I don't want you.” He kissed my neck, licking it and peppering it with soft kisses trailing down to my collar bone. ”Mmm… I always did love your scent,” He inhaled deeply. “Mmm, you smell of the sun and wildflowers, funny how your scent is getting stronger. You like this, don't you?” I didn't answer him. He lifted my leg and rubbed his cock against my sex. He bent his head and put my breast into his mouth. A small moan escaped my lips. Lucifer smiled, dropping my leg, turned me around hugging me, rubbing his cock against my back. He slowly bent
Turning to face him, I could see the anger and hurt in his eyes. ”I was thinking of Michael, pretending your touch was his, you make me sick you no longer mean anything to me, so just know whatever you do to me it's his face I see, his touch I feel.” Lucifer took three steps back, ”The games end tonight, you see me letting you do those things to me allowed me to return the favor. Now there are no secrets between us Luci.” I moved past him and started pushing his conscious out of mine. ”Little Goddess, this will be the last time I show you mercy…” ”Goodbye, Luci.” and with that, I pushed him completely out of my head. I put my guard back up to keep him or anyone who's not one of my beloved guardians.When I opened my eyes, taking a deep breath to steady my mind, I still reeling from my exchange with Luc. I felt guilty I did want Lucifer maybe if things were different and I could forgive him. I still had love for him. I knew deep in my heart, I always would despite what I told him. I co
Sixteen days after our encounter with Lucifer’s team. I made the decision to move us north to the island of Iceland. We would call it home it’s large enough to train Nefertari's wolves. Gathering power from the elemental spirits of this realm, the power of my guardians and my own, I was able to ward the entire island. Those who would try to sail here would be discouraged and see nothing but a barren heavily iced land. Now that the wards were in place, it was time to make us a home. Calling the earth spirit again, every grain of sand, volcanic ash swirled around me. Calling forth a pure white feather and flinging it towards Michael, Adrian, Celestria, Ramses, and Nefertari and finally myself. The feather drew blood from each of us. Mixing it with elements of the earth, I slammed it all into the ground. The ground shook violently. The earth opened, lava shot up into the sky. But didn’t come down it was sliding down slowly the wind acting as a mold. A massive fortress was taking sh
Adrain walked towards us. “So this place is massive. The stone isn’t something I’m familiar with, it really captures you. Mesmerizing really. Black? hmm is that fire trapped inside?” “Adrian this is an exact replica of where the archangels train and sleep. With a few modifications so almost an exact copy.” I said to Adrian, still watching the finishing touches being made to our new home. Adrian looked to Michael and me, “that explains everything.” “What does that mean vampire?” Micheal asked. “I’m just saying no wonder you act like you do. Everything has been handed to you while the rest of us had to learn the hard way.” Rolling my eyes and sucking in a deep breath. “Adrian, you do know your full of shit. I’ve been through your brain, we all have. We’re all bonded and linked. Each of us knows how you grew up.” Nefertari, Ramses, and Celestria joined the conversation. “Plush surroundings and nothing but the best for you as well and far as I can tell all of you have had a privileged upb
Under the island, I created thick impenetrable walls the shot up from the sky that would continue for miles and miles into the atmosphere and to the very core of earth closing the island off from attacks below and above. Sensing Celestria and Nefertari as they approached, neither one said a word they watched me in silence. The island became our fortress. The outside world would see snow and volcanoes a place no being would dare inhabit. Behind the barriers and illusions laid lush greenery and forest. Animals never before seen by man, thought to be believed as myth roamed the land freely, gardens full of vegetables. A hot spring wide enough to fit a hundred angles, deep enough to meet the ocean. A river so blue you’d think a piece of the sky had fallen. It ran through the island branching off here and there to feed the greenery of the island. Our home laid in the middle of it all. Black walls that rivaled the tallest tree on our island; with thick walls laced living fire just undernea
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
