came out. Her aura got darker and his got bigger as dust swirled around them. A black flame went around them from her sword and got closer with each strike. They both jumped in the air as their swords clashed five times and then landed away from each other.
Demetri gasped as she held her hand out. A black flame shot out of her hand and was coming at him. He held his sword up in front of him and split it, grunting as he hit the ground. She landed in front of him and the ground turned to flowers as Demetri stood up.
Their swords clashed again and Selene smirked as she pressed her sword against his harder.
APlease, Selene come back with me!A he pleaded.
She shook her head and cut away his sword. It didn=t go and cut into her shoulder. She screamed and landed on the ground.
ADemetri,A she said, her voice filled with pain.
He pointed his sword at her chest. She looked at him as he looked at her with sadness in his eyes. He knelt down next to her as he reached for her shoulder and was going to heal it. She smirked as her eyes turned hazy as he gasped.
He screamed as she stabbed him in his stomach. He fell on his back and gripped his wound as his teeth clenched.
ADon=t worry my love. I won=t kill you,A she whispered as she touched his face.
He stabbed her arm and smirked. She gritted her teeth and punched him in his stomach. He gasped and rolled on his side in pain as she stood up. Her power faded and Gail appeared beside her.
Demetri looked at him and gasped as his eyes shook. Shin was in front of Gail and Sol was half dead, leaning against him.
ASOL!@ Demetri shouted as he rushed toward her.
Gail made Selene faint and Demetri jumped after them. He had to reach her before they disappeared, had to save her.
ASELENE!!@ He shouted, brushing her fingers with his.
He fell to the ground and almost fainted from lack of blood. Gail smirked and disappeared with Selene.

ASelene, no,A he whispered as he reached for her on the ground and then fainted from lack of blood.
Two hours passed and Demetri woke up and glanced around.
AYou two are finally awake,A someone said as he heard footsteps.
It was the angel and demon who had trained him. Sol looked sadly at them and Demetri looked away as his hands clenched angrily.
AYour king is okay, but he=s in a coma,A she said.
They sighed and nodded tiredly from loss of blood. The angel and demon helped them sit up and looked at them. Demetri remembered his fight with Selene, closing his eyes as his teeth clenched.
AI=m sorry about Selene. Her sword is stronger than yours, she=s stronger than you are,A the demon said as he patched up his wound.
Sol looked at Demetri and saw his eyes were tormented and hollow. Sol didn't know how to comfort him, knowing he had failed to bring Selene back again.
ADemetri,A she thought sadly.
The angel brought in some water and they drank some of it. The angels left to rest and the demons stayed. Demetri=s hand clenched on the blankets, anger in his eyes as Sol looked at him.
AI couldn=t save her, even with more power. She was right, I am weak. I failed to bring her back again!A he said, torn and angry as he shook.
Sol got out of bed and sat by him. He looked at her and she put her hand on his shoulder.
AShe=s not herself Demetri. The Selene we know is not like that, we can get her back,A she said as she smiled.
Demetri smiled at her and nodded as she sighed.
AWe=ll leave in the morning,A he said and the angels and demons smiled.
Two hours passed and Demetri woke up. It was midnight and the moon was shining into the room.
ASelene I will get you back. I have to,A he thought as he gripped the necklace she gave him.


Chapter 9

Plan and Death


Two years passed and Sol and Demetri hadn=t changed. They were still nineteen, wearing tan jackets and black pants, with white shirts. They were in a city and then it changed to a forest suddenly. They pulled out their swords and glanced around.
AIs this because of Gail?@ Sol asked, back to back with Demetri. Five guys appeared and charged at them, a woman was behind them all, wearing a mask and cape. Demetri pulled out his sword and clashed swords with the men, Sol did as well. The men chuckled and jumped in the air, Demetri and Sol followed. Their swords clashed again and again, sparks flying, Demetri killed three, Sol killed five.
AEnough!A the person with the helmet said, sword in hand.
She walked passed the men and toward us, taking off her helmet. Demetri gasped as his eyes widened, it was Selene, smirking. Demetri took a step toward her and Sol tried to pull him back to her, he brushed her hand off of him.
AIt=s been a long time Demetri,A she said, her sword glowing, Demerit=s and Sol=s were too.
She made her sword disappear and Demetri looked at her, confused. Sol didn't lower her guard and Demetri didn't either, eyes both glowing dimly.
AI didn=t come here to fight,A she said.
Sol didn=t make her sword disappear and Demetri didn=t either. Selene sighed walked in front of him, smiling a little. The memory flashed through his head, his eyes softened. Sol gasped as Selene touched his chest as tears appeared in her eyes.
AI miss you and the time we shared, but...@ she stopped, thinking and pulled her hand away.
Gail appeared behind the men, arms crossed, she looked at him sadly. Demetri growled and put Selene behind him, Sol stood beside Demetri as his anger boiled.
ASelene I told you to prepare for the angels and I find you with your lover!A Gail growled angrily. Selene pulled out her sword, glowing, Gail smirked and pulled out a necklace.
AKill him, kill DemetriA he whispered, the necklace glowed and Demetri gasped as his eyes widened.
Selene smirked and stabbed his arm, Gail got angry that she didn=t kill Demetri. Selene jumped beside Gail, sword at her side.
AI can=t kill him Gail, I love him,A she said.

He put the necklace away and she looked at him. She gasped as he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her, she closed her eyes and kissed back, darkness controlling again. Demetri growled and changed clothes, rushing at him as he raised his sword.
ADON=T YOU DARE TOUCH HER WITH YOUR FITHY HANDS!@ Demetri shouted, cutting into his shoulder.
Gail screamed and jumped back, Selene in his grasp as her aura turned dark. Demetri rushed at them again as Gail gasped. Demetri swung and gasped as he hit a barrier and stared in shock. Selene held her hand out, creating the barrier as she looked at him angrily.
Demetri grunted as he was thrown back, skidding to a stop. Selene put her hand down and panted.
ASeleneYwhy?@ Demetri asked as he clutched his sword, pain in his eyes.
She got out of Gail=s grasp and looked at Demetri. Sol was behind Gail and pulled out her sword as Demetri continued to look at Selene in shock.
@I have to do this.... to have his powers Demetri, A she said as her eyes went hazy.
Sol raised her sword and swung as Gail spun around and blocked it with his arms. Sol gasped as she was thrown back, hitting a wall and then coughed up blood.
ASOL!@ Demetri shouted as he rushed toward her.
Selene blocked his path as her outfit changed. They clashed swords and aura, darkness and gold dust swirling around them. Demetri jumped back as his sword glowed brighter. Selene growled and jumped after him, as her sword glowed brighter too.
They clashed swords several times, landed, rushed at each other and clashed again. Their aura exploded as they collided.
@Selene!@ Demetri shouted, blocking her sword attacks as fast as he could.
Selene jumped in the air and combined her sword with another. It started to glow red and blue as she smirked. Demetri growled and combined his sword with two more as he landed. It started to glow a light blue and gold as he growled angrily.
ADemetri!@ She shouted as she rushed at him from the air.
Demetri=s wings came out and he flew up fast, memories of Selene flashing through his head. He closed his eyes in pain and opened them to look at her.
ASELENE!@ He shouted.

They disappeared at the same time and reappeared. Their blades clashed again, sparks flew as their aura grew bigger. Demetri was forced back by Selene, grunting as he caught himself.
ASelene, remember me, please!@ He shouted, pleading as they clashed blades five times fast.
He forced Selene back with his sword, anger and sadness in his eyes. She glared at him and he summoned two clones. She growled angrily as her body began to glow a bright blue and rushed at him.
Demetri growled and a pulse went through him. He looked at his sword and it glowed lightly.
ALet us take over your body, her sword has control of her,A it said.
Demetri shook his head and rushed at her as he spun his sword. His body started to glow yellow as his sword started glow as well. They collided and their sword clashed as the pressure rose from the impact.
Demetri screamed as the force cut him a lot. He flew into the ground coughing up blood and then looked at Selene.
ALet us take control or you will die here! We=ll stop her!A his sword said angrily.
Selene growled at him as he saddened then looked at his sword.
AAlright, just don=t kill her,A he thought.
The sword growled and he closed his eyes sighing. The sword=s straps went around his legs and arms and his back as his eyes snapped open, glowing blue and gold.
AWe=ll let you make the moves. We=re just giving you power, but if you faint, the we=ll take control,A his sword said.
Demetri nodded and flew at Selene as she flew at him too. Demetri=s and her sword clashed, the force unbearable to keep up. He gasped in pain and thrust her back, she growled and rushed at him again.
ANo! I can=t dodge or block it in time!A he thought as gasped, eyes wide.
Selene disappeared and Demetri gasped as he looked around.
AWhere?@ He thought as he looked around.
He looked down and saw Selene flying up at him, her body blurring. He screamed loudly as her sword slashed upwards, cutting into his chest. He fell to the ground as he gripped his wound.
ASelene come back,A he said as she landed in front of him.
She smiled sadly at him and raised her sword. He gasped and raised his sword.

AI can=t,A she said and swung.
He blacked out and his sword=s spirit took over, blocking her attack.
AWhy use her Armageddon?A Calamity asked, smirking as it thrust Selene back.
She screamed at the force and
