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

"Prepare her!" She growled as Draven pulled out a dagger from his waist pocket. 

"W-what are you doing?" I couldn't stop myself from butting in as Draven plugged the dagger into her back. Her agony-filled screams echoed as I helplessly watched. 

Where are you, Lucifer?

"No!" Elijah screamed as he tried to break free from the fire but as he moved flames rose higher and higher. 

éla see ména, vasílissa mou

Aphrodite breathed out as Artemis's screams died down as she lay unconscious on the ground. My heart hammered inside my chest as I saw cruelty seeing through her.
This was insane!

"Is it done," Draven asked impatiently as he rolled over Artemis's body with his foot. Her eyes were wide open as she stared into nothing.

She was dead.

Elijah's screams were heart-wrenching. I didn't know what relationship they had, but it visibly was a strong one. 
Tears were pouring out of my eyes like water. And I hated myself for being so weak and helpless. I needed strength but I had nothing left to count for hope.

"She's coming," Aphrodite's eyes opened as a sadistic smile crawled onto her face. I nearly screamed as Artemis's body moved slightly. What was happening? Draven looked wide-eyed at her as she slowly stood up onto her feet. Elijah's voice was silent as he looked flabbergasted at her.

"W-what is this?" My voice choked out as the flames surrounding me died but I was still glued to my spot. I glanced at Elijah whose body was asking immobile like mine. We couldn't move even if we wanted to. It was like an unknown force was stopping us. 

"My neck hurts," A groan left Artemis's mouth as she cracked her neck. Something looked different about her, I couldn't put my fingers on it. 

"M-Melissa," I hear it! I hear it LOUD and CLEAR! Did he just says, Melissa?

"Huh!" She turned around and looked at Draven with raised eyes. "Who the hell are you talking about, I'm no Melissa?" she scrunched up her nose as she looked around. Draven gummed with anger as he strode towards Aphrodite.

"What the hell is this?" he screamed as Aphrodite rolled her eyes. 

"Ritual's not over yet." She muttered as she took the blade from Draven which he used to stab Artemis and plunged the blade into the ground. Artemis's body shook as she clawed her throat. 

Before I could say anything, Aphrodite mumbled something and wrapped the pendant around Artemis's neck. And that's when my eyes widened slowly and painfully, her body twisted as ear piercings screams left her throat. My breathing was abnormal and my heart was burning.

I looked in utter shock and confusion as her eyes rolled back and her hair elongated with color change. The black raven hairs cascaded down her back as her face demented. 

My eyes were as wide as my mouth. This was bullshit!
Her eyes opened and her hairs flew behind her as a small smile crawled onto her lips. 

"It's good to be back,"

"M-Melissa" it was now my turn to whisper in shock as my eyes landed on her serene and beautiful face. Her head turned towards me as she walked toward me. Her fingers snapped as I immediately felt free from whatever force that was previously bonding me. I fell onto the floor as I looked gaped at her.

"Well, hello to you,” She crouched down to my level as her electrifying blue eyes peered down at me. 

I gulped as I found myself at loss for words. 

Her eyes narrowed at me as she looked strange at me before her blue eyes glowed goldenly. 

"What is this?" I jumped as she snarled at Aphrodite who seemed to be as shocked as all of us. Draven's mouth was apart as he looked loving at her and Elijah was looking with his mouth wide open. 

"My love," Draven whispered and Melissa immediately turned towards him. She immediately smiled as she walked toward him.

"Draven, darling, I've missed you..." She immediately jumped into his arms as he looked dumbfounded at her. But the shock was immediately replaced by recognition and emotion as he wrapped his arms around her tightly. 

Were those tears I saw?! Yes, they were!

Draven Fucking Vll was crying!

"I missed you, mi amore," he cried out and Melissa Nuzzled her deeper into his chest. She was exquisite beauty with hairs as dark as night and eyes as brightened as the ocean.

"Melissa,” My head had never turned around with this much speed. There stood in all his glory, Lucifer, looking at her. And my heart clenched. He looked shocked, as glints of emotions glared in his eyes. 

The look in his eyes was enough to tell me how much h he loved her. And this thought along pierced my soul with thousands of hot needles. 

She quickly turned around as her eyes glowed with new excitement. 

"My love..." Raw and visible emotions laced her voice as she looked at him before immediately running into his arms. He made ko move to push her away but didn't either wrap his arms around her. 

"I missed you Lucifer, I missed you." Desperation, eager, exhilarating words popped out of her mouth as lucifer looked shockingly at her. And I wanted the ground to tear apart and to swallow me wholly as his eyes looked at me. 
My heart clenched as his eyes turned back to their natural color, icy blue. 

"You broke our promise, but I'll forgive you for that," I heard her saying but I want to stop entrapped looking into his eyes that were filled with love and pure desperation...for her. 

I didn't dare to look away as she parted away from him and planted her lips on his. I didn't realize when tears of anger and betrayal poured down my face. I kept looking at them as he stared down at me as she hungrily kissed his lips.
