Chained to the prince of darkness by Lunasads (books for 10th graders TXT) 📖

I couldn't control my tears now. I was confused and drained. Betrayal wasn't something new for me but being betrayed again and again was something I wasn't used to. 
Then again his words ringed in my ears.

Yet. He wasn't going to kill me now but...he was going to!
Draven looked down at me with disgust as if I had snatched something valueable from him. His green eyes were igniting with fire of rage and venom. 

"I'm only doing this because I want her back....don't bother to think for a second that I've forgiven you," Draven gritted but he was still glaring at me, as his father nodded with a smirk on his lips. 

"I don't need your forgiveness but,” I was terrified of what would happen to me or my father or to Lucifer. Every door seemed closed and it was alike I was trapped inside without a ray of light in my darkness. 

Screams were no longer there. But I couldn't tell if they were still in agony because now I was inside the mansion and that's when I saw the walls, blackened with ashes. It looked like it was burnt down with the way every single thing was covered with ashes. 

What was this place?

"Take her downstairs, NOW. The spell will only hold them for few minutes, we need to do it quick!" Aphrodite snarled as she didn't bothered to looked at me. It was like she didn't recognised me. Draven crouched down before yanking me up as I landed harshly against his body. 

"No, please!" I screamed as I felt myself again getting dragged to somewhere. I clawed and screamed and cried but his grip didn't loosened, instead he dragged me along the stairs as he left us downstairs towards a dark room. 
My instinct were telling me nothing good was going to happen. I was threw against the hard floor as he closed the door behind. 

"Good, now bring me the pendant." I immediately looked around as Aphrodite pointed towards my neck. 

Pendant! 

Oh god!

I was still in dilemma and didn't realised when Draven ripped it off of my neck. 

"No!" I cried but Drove had already threw the pendant in Aphrodite's direction. My eyes quickly did a scan of my surroundings as I observed a white coloured circle in centre of the room with three candles on the circumference of the circle. It looked scary and disturbing. 

Tears of dejection welled up I my eyes and let them tell onto the floor. There was so much I wanted to say and scream but instead I remained silent because it was only thing I was supposed to at that time. My pleas and cries wouldn't bother them, not anymore. 

"sti megal?teri d?nami, ákousé me, k?rié mou," 

She muttered something in something foreign as I scrambled back till my back was resting against the wall. There was no light inside this dark room but a ray of sunlight that was piercing through broken ceiling, emmitting light inside. 

Suddenly, the candles on the border light up on their own as she chanted foreign words. 

"Proséfchomai stis kakés mágisses, gia na mou dósoun éna pnévma, gia na tous deíxo óla ti eínai i kakía" 

Whatever she was saying seemed to brighten the flames if candles as suddenly whole circle was surrounded by fire. Was I scared? Hell, yes!

"Do it quickly! We've guests coming!" The door slammed ga isn't the door as Everett walked I side with blood covering his shirt. My eyes widened as worst scenaries played in my mind. 

The way he was walking, I was damn sure it was not his blood. 

Aphrodite's hair flowed in the air as my breath hitched. The fire flames rose above her height as she raised her hands. 

"Kaló to pnévma is teleftaías mágissas you pethaínei, ákou me k? rié mou.”

Her words were fast and urgent and then all of sudden her eyes opened as he glared down at me. 

"Bring her here," I thrashed as Draven carried me towards her. 

"You monster! Leave me!" I screamed with new strength as I was dragged towards Aphrodite. But before she could do something the door burst open and everything happened in the spam of seconds as my body collided against the wall and screams and grunts were heard. 

I dared to open my eyes as sharp pain pierce through my head. My eyes landed on a dark, solid silhouette whose hands were wrapped around Draven's neck who was struggling to get air. 

It was Lucifer.

I looked around the room as the flames started dying down. And last my eyes landed on Angelina's body who lay on the ground panting as blood oozed through her neck. 
Everything fell silent for me as I tripped I had my own feet trying to scramble towards her. 

"ANGELINA!" I screamed out loud as I picked her body up in my arms. 

No! No! No! 

Not her! Not her! Please, God!

"Please wake up!" I sobbed as my tears mixed with anticipation and anger, flowed down my face. 

"Sarah..," She whimpered as his frail hand weakly touched my cheek. I could sense her pain and distress that caused me more pain than the wound on her neck. 

"I'm okay, I swear.." I tried to smile down at her despite the fear and agony in my chest. "I'll save you. I promise you I will." 

I refuse to shed hope. I refused to let her die. I would die to keep her safe. 

I heard a gasp from behind me but I didn't bother to look. But before I could process it, a warm pair of hands were wrapped around Angelina as I immediately looked up at the person.

"Victoria," I breathed out in shock as I saw her teary eyes looking down at Angelina.

"W-we've to take her somewhere...safe," she struggled to say as she gently picked her up. I immediately stood alarmed. 

She was Draven's sister. Why would she want to save his enemy's sister?
