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

"Please! I haven't talked to Royals in ages," His shaky voice was denying his words. The way he was trying to avert his eyes were confirming Lucifer's suspicion.

"Hmm, you can go," Lucifer said calmly as he turned towards Michael.

"He was lying." Michael breathed out as he observed the Vampire sprinting towards the opposite side of the forest. 
 

Lucifer aimlessly rotated his dagger in his hands as his eyes scanned the vampire's back. And in no time he threw the dagger in the air. The screams of the vampire echoed in the whole vacant forest making Lucifer tilt his head and analyze the speed with which he had pierced his heart. 

"I know.....Her scent is all over the area." Michael looked confused at Lucifer as he tried to read his mind but like always everything was blank like Lucifer himself.

Lucifer snapped his fingers and one of his guards came running toward them. 

"My lord," the guard said, standing at attention. 

"Have your men search the western areas on the outskirts of Zhoutis. Michael and I will head east," Lucifer ordered. 

"Yes, my lord." The guard nodded before he started barking orders to the rest of the men.

Michael looked at Lucifer tensely. His muscles tensed up as he followed Lucifer behind the woods.

Her senses burned with his touch as he explored her body. His lips curled up in a smirk as he planted his lips on hers. Her heart was beating erratically within her chest. All she wanted to do was kick him in the balls.

Before he could deepen the kiss, a loud bang from another side of the door startled him and he groaned in annoyance.

"What the hell?" He growled as he abruptly pulled away from her and looked down at her with amused eyes. He grinned at her as he watched her breathing grow rapid and difficult. Her wet and blurry eyes looked at him with an expression of helplessness.

He again groaned as he heard another loud bang. 

"What?" He asked again before he walked towards the door and opened it. But before he could open it fully, a loud sound resonated in the whole room. His face turned in the opposite direction with the force of the slap that he received.

"What is wrong with you?" A familiar voice entered Sarah's ears as she tried to look at the intruder but couldn't see anything because of the spell that was dominating her senses. 

Draven rubbed his sore cheek as he looked venomously at Victoria. Every fiber in his body wanted nothing more than to strangle her to death but he didn't do any tact, he grinned at her as he saw the concern dancing in Victoria's eyes. 

"Always ruining my fun, little sister." Draven was amused while Victoria looked past him with an unsettled expression. 

"What is wrong with you, Draven? She has nothing to do with what happened in past. She is a victim of Lucifer's wrath," Victoria rushed past Draven as she looked at Sarah's fatigued and exhausted self laying on the bed. 

Victoria couldn't help but feel tenderness for the girl, she was a casualty, and looking at someone who was going to went through the same, ignited the fire of empathy within her. 

"Wrong with me? Are you even hearing yourself, Vicki? You are the one who is trying to protect your enemy's alley." 

Draven groaned as he watched Victoria covering Sarah's body with the satin sheets. She helped her to sit up while Draven looked at them with disappointment.

"YOUR ENEMY! Not mine!" She gritted as she looked at Falcon. "And she is not an alley...she is merely a human who has no idea what is going on," Victoria whispered before giving Draven a disgusted look. 

"Am I sensing insurrection?" Draven asked while he moved towards Victoria with balled fists. 
 

"No. Why would I betray you? I have no one to rely on,” She scoffed in annoyance. Draven raised a questioning brow at her.

"It's just....I don't want anyone to feel...the things that I have gone through." She whispered and turned to look at Sarah's face. She saw herself at her place, screaming, crying with helplessness but there was no one to stop. Only she knew how it felt to lose your dignity, your honor.

Sarah's vision cleared as she breathed heavily. Draven snapped his fingers and mumbled something in a foreign language.

Sarah felt the dizziness wearing off her senses while her eyes got a clearer view of the room. Her eyes landed on Falcon as she immediately tried to run towards him but due to the remains of the spell, her feet wobbled.

"Easy there." Victoria supported her weight while at the same time she helped her get off the bed. Sarah looked at her and nodded her head as she moved towards Falcon.

"Falcon!" She whispered before she cradled his face between her palms. His skin felt so rough and swollen and all she wanted to do was cry and blame herself for all this. Falcon looked worriedly at her and tried to lift her mood by curling his lips in a gentle smile. Her tears kept flowing and flowing, making her realize how much she missed her friend. 

Every single betrayal of him was long gone from her mind replacing it with the concern and love that she felt towards her friend.

All the mutiny was blown away leaving their pure and friendly love. 

"I'm..okay." He said trying to calm her down. She hugged him tightly like he was going to vanish in thin air. 

"I'm sorry....it's all my fault...I shouldn't have tried to escape..." Her shattered and weak words were tearing his heart apart. Her continuously sobbing and crying was making the situation bad and emotional.

Draven rolled his eyes at them while Victoria got lost looking at them. Memories were starting to haunt her and this was the last thing she wanted.
