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

“Matthew?"

"He is alive? I don't know how's that even possible? Lucifer ripped his heart out....and I was the one who burned his body."

"Nothing makes sense!"

"To make it worse, Matthew is Draven's brother! Fucking Draven!"

"Draven Vll? The arrogant Vampire?" 

"How many Draven you know, Artemis?"

"Shit! That's unbelievable.” Michael grabbed a fistful of his hair as he tried to sunken the information. Artemis watched her brother with worry while she was as distorted as him. 

"Falcon! Where is he?" Michael suddenly stopped pacing as his mind drifted off to the last conversation he had with Falcon. Falcon was going to tell him something but he had to go to check out the perimeters.

"I don't know. He must be drowning himself in alcohol again," Artemis gulped down another glass of bourbon as Michael furrowed his brows in confusion. Her eyes scanned the whole bar while her brother stood in front of a table with a glass of liquor.

"That shit doesn't work on us you know that, right?" Michael looked at his sister with a strange look. 

"I don't know, Artemis. Something....something doesn't feel right," he said while grabbing a glass from the counter but halted in his steps as he sensed a presence behind him. 

His hold tightened on the glass as he crushed the glass in his hands making all the pieces embedded in his hand. 

Artemis quickly looked at him as she heard the sound.
With a strain on his face, he turned around slowly and cautiously.

"Hello, old friend," Michael couldn't stop but snarl at the man in front of him. He ground his teeth together as he mumbled the words.

"Elijah,"

****

"You are alive." She whispered. She wanted to believe her eyes but her mind wasn't working anymore. Matthew was alive and it took everything in her to accept that because he was killed right in front of her. How could she believe the same eyes that watch him being ripped apart?

Draven's hand caressed her waist as he pulled himself away from her.

"Surprise, I guess," He whispered dangerously close to her ear but she was far too shocked to recognize his words.

"How could you, you were dead?" Falcon said in utter confusion and shock. Everything was out of the picture, Matthew was supposed to be dead, but how was this possible? Questions, questions, questions? Every statement was like a question to him.

"Why don’t we get acquainted? Meet Matthew, or should I say Matthew Edgar Vll," Draven walked towards Mathew and put his arm on his shoulder.

Sarah looked with wide eyes. She blinked her eyes before anger started consuming her. Betrayed! She was feeling betrayed. Everyone was keeping secrets from her and now nothing was shocking her anymore.

"Don't tell me you are one of them too, aren't you?" She snarled at Mathew as Draven threw his head back with laughter. Sarah looked at him with an angry snarl on her face.

"No, he is not one of them... he is one of us." Draven took predatory steps toward her. His amusement grew ten times as he watched her standing adamantly on her spot without an ounce of fear.

"And you wanna know what we are?" He circled his arm around her as he jerked her towards him making her gasp. He leaned in and nuzzled his nose in her hair, taking in her sweet scent.

"Ever heard about Vampires?" 

****

"Where the fuck is she?" Lucifer growled loudly as Alatar shook with fear. Hundreds of years had passed but this was the second time he had seen Lucifer this much angry, the first time was when his mother died. 

"Not only Lady Sarah but Master Falcon is missing too," Alatar said and Lucifer snapped his head towards him.

"Lucifer calm down," Aphrodite said trying to calm Lucifer. She was scared of what would happen if Lucifer would come to know that she helped Sarah escape in the first place. 

"And you are telling me this now?” Angry Lucifer was something with whom no one wanted to deal, so were Alatar and Aphrodite. But Alatar knew that the next information would triple his furiousness, maybe would add some other emotions to the fire of his rage too.

"....And I think, they have been taken by Vll's,"

Lucifer stopped pacing and blinked his eyes to their original color. He looked at Alatar with an expressionless face as he tried to register the last word, Vll.

"They know about the prophecy?" Lucifer asked carefully hoping that Vll didn't know anything. But if they do, everything was going to get in vain. 

"I'm afraid My lord, they certainly do," Lucifer clenched his jaw as the veins of his arms started protruding out. His pupils dilated while his eyes turned blood red.

"But..they wouldn't be able to do anything until she has your blood in her, My lord," Alatar said carefully as he flipped through pages of his grimoire. He again turned two more until his eyes landed on the picture he was looking for.

Aphrodite turned towards Lucifer with wide eyes.

"You did what? You fed her your blood? Do you even know what does that mean-" Aphrodite was unable to complete her sentence as Lucifer slammed her against the wall. His claws digging inside her neck as she struggled to breathe.

"One more word, and you will be killed like I'm going to kill your sister," Lucifer narrowed his eyes in anger as Aphrodite quickly nodded her head. Her knees collapsed to the ground as Lucifer let go of her. She rubbed her sore throat while taking deep breaths.

"It still doesn't make things better, the bond still isn't completely complete,” Lucifer said before looking at Alatar.

"They need the blood of the hybrid for this and you being the only hybrid in this world, has made things harder for them," Aphrodite said taking another deep breath.
