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

"No! You're an enemy," I shouted as I walked toward her but a look in her eyes told me otherwise. She looked dismayed and despondent. 

"You've to trust me, Sarah. I mean no harm to anyone....not even you." Something in me told me to believe her words. Her eyes were filled with u said emotions and sentiments. 
I guessed down before nodding my head. She was gone with the speed of light and I looked around with anxiousness. 

God, please keep her safe!

I was at a loss for words. I was so shocked that I didn't notice a figure running up to me. I fell backward as a body collapsed against me. I looked up and saw piercings gaze Everett looking down at me. 

"Finally, little bitch,” He breathed out in anger as he took hold of my hair and started dragging me towards the circle of flame. 

"Leave me, you asshole!" I screamed. 

His grip seemed to tighten as he threw me inside the circle. As I tried to move, the flames rose with my screams. He threw his head back laughing as a sinister smirk played on his lips. 

"You'll die along with the hybrid!" He spat with venom. The heat from flames results in beads of sweat running through my head as I looked frantically around. Lucifer was nowhere in sight, and so was Draven. 

There was only me and Everett. 

"Why are you doing this?" I beamed as I looked into his ferocious eyes. His demeanor seemed to change as he glared down at me. 

"You deserve answers, but you won't be here for long...you'll die today by my hands but don't worry Lucifer will follow you shortly...I'll try to make your death lesson painful." 

Then reality dawned upon me like a bucket of ice-cold water.

I was going to die. 

"I'm dying already, why don't you fulfill my last wish, even criminals deserve this," I responded. The flames of fire were making it difficult for me to breathe properly because I didn't show it on my face. 

"Lucifer destroyed my happiness, he took my loved ones away from me. He turned my son against me. He is the reason why my children are against me. The hatred I feel towards him is far away from what I want to do to him. I want to rip his happiness apart...PIECE BY PIECE!" By the time he was finished, he was shouting. I gulped down my nervousness and I keenly looked at him.

"I'm not his happiness, you know that," I didn't know that. Was I his anything? Did I mention something to him? 

His laughter boomed in the room as he looked at me.

"Happiness? Oh! Believe me, you are more than that." He walked towards me and crouched down outside the circle as he peered down at me. "I never saw him this much obsessed with anyone, not even Melissa..." 

I gulped. I've seen the pain and anguish that he had for Melissa. He could never love me as he did to her. 

"You're wrong..." My eyes darted towards the voice as I saw an unknown man standing at the entrance with the same stroking eyes as Draven but he had that dark, midnight hair. 
Everett immediately turned around as his eyes widened with astonishment and surprise. 

I looked around frantically as a ring of fire constricted. I immediately pulled my feet back from the flames that licked at my skin.

"The heavier you breathe, the more oxygen you'll lose," I heard a deep voice say. I glanced up to see Lucifer's frame standing next to the man. His fiery red eyes locked me in his gaze. 

"Calm yourself," he demanded. 

"It's not possible.." I heard Everett whispering out as he backed away. Lucifer's eyes snapped towards him as his claws descended and he flashed his sharp canines at him. 
I would've laughed at Everett's reaction as his eyes widened and his hands trembled. But at this time situation was laughing at me, so I carefully tried to calm my breathing. 

"Long time no see...Everett." The man standing next to Lucifer smirks as he walked toward Everett. Everett backed away as the man stopped a few feet away from him.

"Missed me, Father?" 

Father.

My eyes widened in recognition. I had never seen him but now I saw similarities he shared with Everett. Same eyes, same build, same features. 

Elijah Edgar Vll!

"Elijah, son...." Everett breathed out looking at Elijah. 

"Son? Oh heavens! How much I wanted to hear this word..." Elijah grinned as his eyes glistened with something evil before his lips curled up in a smirk. ”But not now.." 

Before I could though, Everett's body was being ripped apart as Lucifer stood behind him. I panicked as I saw Everett's body lying in a pool of his blood. My eyes widened at the pool of blood spreading from his body. 

"Elijah!" Everett screamed as he crawled backward to hit against Lucifer's legs, who looked with raged eyes at him. 
I watched as Lucifer grabbed Everett by the hair on his head and yanked him up. 

"P-please d-don't!" He begged as he cried out in pain as Lucifer tore his hand off and flung it on the ground in front of him. 

Tears streamed down my face. It was another like I was feeling sympathy for him but looking at Lucifer's this side was so heart clenching. 

He truly was a monster. 

"Goodbye, Father." I heard Elijah saying as Lucifer's claws dug into his chest and pulled the sloppy organ out of his chest and the life drained from his eyes. 

He fell onto the ground with a thud. 

He was dead.

I looked at Lucifer's stormy red eyes as he cleaned his hands with his shirt. "I need to get her out of there," he said as Elijah followed behind him.

I could barely speak as I looked up at him and Everett's dead body. I heard his footsteps as he stopped just outside the circle and this blood-stained face came into view.
