20: Ariel

Discouraging. Ariel let out a heavy and tired sigh as she sat in the room Janice had leant her while she visited. After the visit, Janice didn't ask what all had gone on. As the leader of the Coven, she shouldn't have to. With her power, she should have been able to feel what had happened behind that closed door. They all should have felt it. A gentle knock came at her door. Ariel lifted her head as it creaked open and the Beta peered inside the small room. Her heart fluttered in her chest upon seeing him. His sandy blonde hair had grown a little since the last she had seen him. His hazel eyes lit up upon seeing her and a soft, warm smile settled on his lips. "Ariel." He opened his arms to her. "Horace." She leapt to her feet and threw her arms around his neck. He embraced her, squeezing her gently, that forced a giggle from her lips. "Easy, Horace." She whispered as he released her. "Do not squeeze me too roughly." She told him as she rested a hand on her stomach. His eyes shin

21: Karmina

To Hell and Back Again/Brittany Heiden

Death. The stench still carried on the wind as they escorted Karmina through the village. Or what she left of it. Blood stained the dirt roads. Broken glass scattered the streets. Scorch marks remained from the fires that danced that night. Eyes stared from behind darkened windows. She didn't need to look to feel their hatred towards her. A sliver of her felt remorse. The death of her brothers and sisters pained her, but it was a numbing pain. Barely existent. The Dark Magic that coursed through her veins pulsed with life. Even as the Holy Magic restrained her from using it, it didn't stop the sinister feeling that coiled through her being. Most of all, she felt pride. She was proud of her accomplishment of Death Magic. Pride for being the only Witch in existence to achieve such a feat. Relishing in pride that many fear her. It fueled her and her Magic. As they moved her away from the village and into a field, her heart stopped in her throat. A pyre stood in the middle of the brown

22: Zalakai

To Hell and Back Again/Brittany Heiden

Zalakai followed the obsidian stone path to a marble platform. Rayleigh followed close behind him. When everything dawned on her of their predicament, he needed to be certain of something. That Nol didn't succumb to the power of Karmina. Part of him believed he would, though the rest of him hoped he didn't. Nol was soft-hearted compared to other Demons. Considering his previous life before they cast him out, he was susceptible to Karmina's power. "I appreciate the clothes." Rayleigh stated. He cast a quick glance over his shoulder at her. Before they left the Archives, he created a simple shirt and jeans. The last thing he needed was to be distracted by her nakedness, or any other Demon to prey on her. "Think nothing of it." He gave a quick grin, but he wiped it from his face. "Do you think he did?" She asked him. Zalakai stopped in the center of the platform and took her hand. She let out a small yell when he pulled her to his side. "I really fucking hope not." He grumbled. He r

Epilogue

To Hell and Back Again/Brittany Heiden

There was a shift in the air. A scent of brimstone and sulfur. The smell burned his nose. Irritated him. "Aiden?" Amira called his name. He glanced over at her as she stopped beside him. "What is it? Do you sense something?" Her snow white hair draped over her shoulder as she leaned down to him. Something is here. Something that smells of Hell. He stomped the ground with his paw as he turned his nose to the wind. Aiden lowered himself slightly to the ground. Amira climbed up onto his back and he let his nose guide him. He bounded through the forest that was now his hunting grounds for himself and his people. His home. "Should I call Dante and Willow? Do you think we need back-up?" She asked him, but he tossed his head. Not until we get a closer look. Have your gun ready. "You don't have to tell me twice."---------- Dante sipped from his tea as he gazed out over the lake. The light breeze created tiny waves to crash against the small pebbles of the lakebed. He sat back in his
