Fire of a Demon's Heart by Shawnta Christensen (novels for beginners TXT) 📖

ran down his face as he felt for a heart beat or her breathing.
ASelene.... please... please don=t you die on me! Not again, not like this!A he pleaded as he started breathing his aura in her mouth.
It didn=t work and he tried five more time.
ASelene please, don=t do this to me. Don=t you leave me! Not again, please Selene OPEN YOUR EYES!@ He shouted, and tried again.
He put his aura in her wounds, it didn=t work. He tried five more times and it still didn=t work.
ASe... Selene. No Selene, please live, please my Selene! You can't do this to me, i'm begging you! Don't do this,A he cried, touching her cold cheek.
He held her cold, lifeless body against his chest as he cried harder. His body shook as he held her tighter and her head on his chest.
AI=m sorry... I=m so... so sorry. Selene... I didn=t mean anything of what I said to you. I love you... I love you so much. Please don=t.... don=t do this to me, open your eyes,A he cried as it started to rain.
The rain washed the blood off of the ground and a pool formed underneath him. He looked at her and put her gently on the ground. He pulled Bliss out of Calamity and raised it as tears continued to fall.
APlease save her. I=ll give you anything, just...@ Memories of Selene and him flashed through his head and then the fight. He clenched the sword tighter as he shook.
AJUST SAVE HER PLEASE!@ He shouted as he opened his eyes. He struck down as the sword glowed green.

Her body glowed green and the sword spoke to him sadly.
AKiss her before the light fades. I cannot do this a second time, hurry!@ She said.
He dropped the swords and rushed toward Selene, picking her body in his arms and putting his hand on her cheek. He leaned down and kissed her as he gripped her body to his tightly. The light began to fade away. Memories of Selene and him went through his head again as tears fell down his cheeks into her wounds. He trembled at the thought of losing her forever.
APlease work. Please, Selene, come back, back home, to me,A he thought, parting from her.
The light faded completely and moments passed, it was only a moment but it felt like an eternity to him. ASelene...no,A he whispered, crying into her chest as he gripped her body to his.
She didn=t move, no heart beating, she didn=t breath... nothing, she was gone.
@Se... Selene,A he cried, putting her head on her shoulder. ANo Selene come back, COME BACK TO ME!@ He screamed as he shook her softly, as he clenched the ground tightly.
AGail, you=ll pay... I=ll make you pay,A he growled, eyes glowing as anger took over now.
He set her on the ground gently.
ADemetri,A Bliss said sadly.
Demetri turned toward Bliss and picked the sword up, and then Calamity, broken and torn.
ABliss you can protect Selene=s body from demons, can=t you?@ He asked bangs over his eyes.
Bliss answered and Demetri put Bliss on Selene=s chest. He put her hand on the sword and stood up. He looked at her form and smiled sadly, she looked like she was asleep.
AProtect her Bliss, I=ll be back,A he said as he walked off.
He clenched Calamity tightly in anger as his teeth clenched.
AWhy... HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!@ he shouted as he cut five trees down, one by one as pictures of Selene flashed through his head.
He growled and Calamity growled too as he felt Demetri=s anger.
He raised his sword and struck, screaming in frustration and anger as he cut three down at once.
AGail!@ he growled as water went around him, crashing against the trees. AThis... Selene dying... the fight between us... IT WAS HIS ENTIRE FAULT, HE TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME!@ he shouted as the waves got wilder.

The water faded away, but his anger didn=t. He was pissed off, furious about her death, his Selene=s death and at Gail most of all. He ran through the forest as the rain poured down more.
AGail COME ON OUT! I KNOW YOU=RE HERE! FIGHT ME!@ He shouted as he glared at the sky.
He went to his knees as his anger faded away, but slightly. Sadness came over him and he clenched the dirt with his hands.
AI lost her. This was my fault... if... if I hadn=t said those things she... Selene would still be here. My Selene would still be here, alive,A he said as he cried harder.
A pulse went through him and he gripped his chest. He cried out in pain and he fell to the ground.
AYou bastard!A someone growled angrily.
Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped, recognizing the voice immediately. He looked up as he growled and saw Gail.
AGailA Demetri growled, low and dangerous as he clenched Calamity. What he felt now was true hatred, anger most of all and it showed in his eyes and face. He gripped Calamity tighter as Gail knelt down in front of him.
ASelene is dead and you took her away. Not from you... but from me... she was mine, body and soul,A Gail said angrily.
Demetri snapped and swung at him, cutting a huge mark across his chest. Gail yelped and stumbled back.
AYOU=RE WRONG!@ Demetri shouted as he charged at Gail.
Gail held up his sword and blocked it as he gasped at his strength.
Demetri struck at him, never letting up. He did a back flip as Gail struck at him. As soon as Demetri hit the ground he charged at Gail, pinning him against a tree by his chest and he coughed up blood.
ASelene was mine! She was my whole world... Gail, I=ll make you pay for her death, I swear my life on it,A Demetri growled pissed off as he leaned against Gail=s ear.
Gail growled and forced him back as Calamity growled. Demetri fended off Gail=s attacks, but got stabbed in the shoulder and yelped.
@We=re no match for Gail! without Bliss, we=ll die,A Calamity growled as he put up a barrier.
Demetri gripped his shoulder and panted, trying to keep the barrier up.
AThat=s fine with me, but I have to kill Gail before I dieA Demetri rasped and then coughed up blood.

Suddenly a huge blast hit Gail and he screamed as he hit a tree, getting three degree burns. Demetri looked to his left and gasped and his eyes widened. It was Selene, her wings out as she panted. She clenched Bliss and Armageddon tightly and charged at Gail. She merged her swords together and growled.
AGAIL!@ She screamed as she thrust her sword in the ground.
A huge blast went at Gail and he screamed as a sword hit his chest. He swiped and stabbed Selene in her chest. She gasped and pulled back as she pulled out a black whip like weapon.
ALet=s finish this,A she panted and blood dripping from her wounds.
ASeleneYno... He’ll kill you,A he thought as he reached for her.
She smirked and armor went to her feet, hands, legs and arms. She disappeared and Gail did too. Their swords clashed here and there, disappearing and reappearing as sparks flew. Gail and Selene forced themselves back and Selene put her other hand on her sword, concentrating her power in one blow.
Selene and Gail charged at each other as their swords glowed. Her aura turned into a golden dragon with ruby eyes and Gail=s turned into a black snake with red eyes. Their swords swung and blood poured. Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped and he rushed toward Selene. Selene had stabbed Gail in his heart and Gail had stabbed her three inches next to her heart.
Gail=s body disappeared in a black sparks and flew up in the air while disappearing. Selene sighed and fell backwards.
ASelene!@ Demetri shouted, catching her falling body.
She looked at him and put her hand on his chest. He put his hand on her cheek.
AI=m so sorry SeleneYI never meant those things,A he said sadly as tears formed in her eyes.
He leaned down and kissed her, she kissed back as she smiled. She moaned as his lips brushed against hers and he chuckled as he parted from her. She embraced him and he did too and sighed.
AI=m so glad you=re alive.... glad you came back home to me,A he cried on her shoulder.
He embraced her tighter to him. She looked sad and embraced him back. He never wanted to let her go ever again, the pain was too much.


Chapter 16

Nirvana and Loss


Fifteen years had passed and they had remained the same. Selene was wearing a white dress when she came out of a palace. Demetri was waiting for her in a field of flowers, wearing a black shirt and white pants. She saw him and ran toward him.
She embraced him and he embraced her as he spun her around. One hour passed and he was chasing her. She spun around as he was about to grab her and fell on the ground, smiling as her eyes closed.
AThe sun feels so good in this place,A she said as she opened her eyes.
He smiled and knelt down on one knee as he picked up her hand. She smiled and put her hand on his face. He put his hand on hers as she put it over his left eye. He smiled as he closed it.
AWhat are you looking at?@ She asked.
He opened his eyes and moved her hand to his cheek as he smiled. His eyes never left her face and neither did hers.
AJust looking at you. I want to engrave every moment with you,A he said.
He moved her hand to his chest and he put his hand on her cheek. ANothing is going to happen to me, I promise,A she said.
He wrapped his arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling each other closer. They parted and he got off of her. He held out his hand and she took it.
He helped her up and she embraced him as he embraced her back.
AI love you Selene,A he whispered.
AI love you too Demetri,A she said.
He chuckled and kissed her as she kissed back and they fell on the ground. Three hours passed and it was night. Demetri had his arms wrapped around Selene=s body and she had her head and arms on his chest as she slept. He smiled and traced her face, his hand slowly going on her face, and then down the side of her body, stopping at her hip and going back up.
ASelene I don=t want this moment to end. I want to stay with you forever,A he whispered in her hair.

An hour passed and she woke up, glancing at Demetri as he slept. She kissed his cheek and sat up. Suddenly the sky opened up and two angels came down to the ground. Selene put her shirt on as they walked toward her.
ASelene, come with us. The queen is dying and she wants to speak to you,A one said as he held out his hand.
Selene wrote a note to Demetri and left with the angels. Sol appeared as Demetri woke up and told him
