The Cursed Human

I walked with Michael on my side without uttering a word. I wonder how was he feeling? Falcon’s death shook me but Michael and Falcon were closer than I was, and it must be hard for him to digest the bitter truth.

The truth of his death.

I spend almost most of the day in library searching for answers and digging the depths of secreacy.

The werewolves.

The vampires.

The Hybrid.

But no witch.

Not a single book was about witches and there were very few things I was able to fetch from those books while on the other hand those few things were quiet disturbing.

My first concern was, Elijah Edgar Vll: The missing sibling. Who was he? I had no idea. Victoria never told me about him nor did she ever talked about having another siblings and also a twin.

Second but important, how did few witches managed to escape when Daniel avenged his father? If they could kill a hybrid then killing a normal werewolf was nothing for them. What was the reason they get defeated?

Vampire and Werewolf bond was running since Kendrio’s time and why was I never get to know about Kendrio?

And third but not least, Nora’s killer. Why did my Father’s commander killed her? Where was the catch?

We crossed the hallway leading another hallways that lead to the bedroom. This was different path but I didn’t minded. On other side of the hallway, there was a huge ground land covered with grass and sand.

I heard sound of yelling coming from ground and craned my neck to look further. I could Lucifer’s commanding voice from distant as we moved closer. After few steps, the scene presented itself worth Lucifer barking orders as several men scattered around him.

“WHO THE FUCK GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO ABORT THE ATTACK?!” I heard him yell.

What attack?

Lucifer snarled as he kicked one of the man in the stomach. “DI YOU FORGET WHO THE FUCK I AM?!” he sneered.

‘Lucifer is planning to attack your parent’s kingdom’

I gasped as I rushed towards the grounds.

“Where you going?!” Michael yelled behind me as he tried to catch up to me.

I stopped in my tracks for just a second as I glanced at Lucifer across the field.

He looked angry. What the hell was his problem? I almost contemplated to rush back to Michael and tell him to take emergency away from him but this was about my parents, about my family, about my people.

I took a deep breath and gathered my courage and walked into Lucifer.

“LUCIFER!” I shouted.

I felt his body froze and he slowly turned around. I yelped at the terrifying crashed look in Lucifer’s angry eyes.

“What?” He said tensely. By this time I really was thinking why I choose suicide? I looked at the man breathing heavily on the ground and looked up to him. “Is this…. Is this necessary?” I asked.

He tilted his head to the side and looked at me like I had lost my damn mind. Maybe , I did.

“You know how to manage my fucking kingdom now?

“How is attacking other kingdoms for no reason is ‘managing a kingdom’?” I asked.

“Because I know how to run my shit! Now get your ass back in the damn room!” He snarled at me. “Or I’ll drag you there myself!”

“I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU!” I snapped angrily at him. I heard several of men gasp as Michael quickly ran to us.

Lucifer cocked his head to the side as he took a step towards me. “What did you just say?”

I shook my head in disbelief. “You’re a monster, a fucking tyrant, a cruel ruler who show no mercy you his own people!”

He scoffed with a snarl.

“You’re blinded with so much hatred, no doubt Melissa probably killed herself to get away from you!” That was a bad move. I didn’t wanted to drag a dead person into my fight but my tongue slipped with venom and snow there was no taking words back.

****

I breathed out in desperation as suddenly Lucifer slammed my face first up against the wall of the bedroom.

No, no, no! This was not how I had planned it.

“What are y-”

“What fucking games you’re trying to play?!” Lucifer sneered as I felt him tearing the back of my dress while he held me pinned me against the wall.

“You thought I won’t know what you’re trying to do?! Huh?” He snarled as he further pushed down the dress exposing my entire body to his hungry eyes. He pushed up against me and wrapped his hand around my throat as he breathed into my ear.

“YOU WILL ONLY DO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO!!” He growled in my ear. I let out a breathless gasp as he tightened his hold on my neck. What did I do wrong? Where did I fail?

“Lucifer, I didn’t-” I started.

He tightened his hold again and I trembled in his embrace. The depths of his lunacy were unmeasurable.

I groaned in pain as I felt my lungs burning with lack of oxygen.

“You just love to stoke my fucking rage, don’t you?!” I was defeated by all this. His mocking and accusations were vanishing the little hope I had left with.

My nails clawed at the walls and my lungs burned with the grip he had on me.

“I’ll fucking show the monster I am!” He backhanded me as I fell onto the floor. My eyes burned as warm tears cascaded down my face like a waterfall. I had enough!

“I’M GLAD SHE DIED! ATLEAST SHE WOULDN’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR PARANOID MIND!” I shouted while more tears flowed down.

His raged gaze was making my body tremble, I couldn’t believe myself.

“In your unreasonably disturbed mind no one could be trusted! You can’t even trust yourself!….” I let my anger out. “How pathetic!” I spat.

I looked at him startled as ge started laughing like a lunatic. His scary untimely laugh was scaring guys out of me.

“Pathetic! Oh sweetheart, you have no idea what I would do to you!….” He smirked before crouching down to my level making me crawled back. “Maybe make you watch your parents die.” He whispered near my face.

“You wouldn’t!” I panicked.

“I would…. Let the hunt begin!” I heard him as he vanished in thin air leaving me alone with my thoughts. What had I done?

****

Lucifer leaned on his hands as his eyes glazed over. The sound of Rafael and Michael talking echoed like a muffled voice in the background. Sarah’s words echoed loudest in his head.

‘You’re a tyrant, a monster’

“The North Archer tower is under construction so it would be in our favour.” Michael advised.

“But the East side will keep us hidden for a longer period of time, allowing more of our men to get through.” Rafael added.

Lucifer exhaled deeply as he folded his hands together and looked at the map. Rafael looked at Lucifer who stared absentmindedly off into the distance.

“My lord,” Michael called.

Lucifer snapped out of it and looked at Michael.

“What you suggest, My lord?” Michael muttered.

“Kill Perseus and his bloody son… not much else to it..” Lucifer said dismissively.

“My lord that’s not what we’re…” Michael started.

“Wasn’t that was out mistake at first? I should’ve killed that bloody bitch the first time I had the Chance!” Lucifer snapped.

Rafael let out a sigh as he covered his face.

“You seemed tense…?” He asked.

Lucifer grunted as he stood up knocking down the chair in process.

“I need blood,” Lucifer growled as Michael nodded his head an walked away to get blood.

“Angelina needed to talk….” Rafael said as Michael completely walked out.

“You want my permission to talk to your wife?” Lucifer raised his dark brow as he looked irritatedly at Rafael. Rafael sighed audibly.

“She wanted to talk to you…” He breathe out.

Lucifer scoffed as he walked towards the window.

“We are not as close as we used to be…. and if she thinks talking can make me forget her betrayal then she’s very wrong…” Lucifer snarled.

“It could be important…” Rafael insisted and Lucifer turned around looking at Rafael with bored expression.

“I’ll give her ten minutes to talk….”

****

“ANGELINA!”

Angelina looked up and saw Lucifer looking at her with raised brows and an irritated scowl on his face.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Where the fuck have you been?!” Lucifer snapped.

“I’m…. I’m here,” she mumbled as she unconsciously rubbed her arms.

“Where the fuck your mind was?” He snapped again knowing that she again dozed off in nothing. Angelina shook her head, her long blonde hairs moving as she stood up to her feet.

“Do you… ever think about her?”

Lucifer looked at Angelina with raised brow, “Think about who?”

Angelina sighed, “… Nora….”

Lucifer’s jaw tensed as his nostrils flared, “I’m not talking about that shit.”

“Luc-”

“I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT HER!” Lucifer snapped angrily. “SO DON’T FUCKING BRING IT UP!”

“You don’t hate her! Why you pretend to contradict your emotions!” She exclaimed as she looked worriedly at him.

Lucifer half snorted and half laughed as he looked bitterly at Angelina.

“What you want me say, huh? That I miss her?! No! I don’t!” Lucifer snapped angrily.

Angelina let out a deep labored breath. She pushed her hairs behind her ear and leaned back against the window. “… I received a letter today…” She said looking at him with tensed look.

“.. None of my business…”

“It’s related to Sarah…” She said and Lucifer snapped his head towards her.

“From whom?” He said tensely.

“Probably you would like to read it first…” She said and handed him the piece of paper laying in her pocket.

Lucifer looked strangely at the letter before opening it up.

‘LUCIFER XIMEN CELESTE,

My sincerest apologies for talking few moments of your pathetic life. A powerful and undefeated king unlike your great grandfather. What was his name again? Oh yes! ENDOR, a fucking weakling. Well I’m not wasting my ink to write about him or you but about something or particularly someone who I need to destroy, your little bitch.

I would suggest you to hand her over to me or you might have remembered what happened twenty years ago, right? I wouldn’t mind to repeat that same with her.’

Lucifer looked up at Angelina to say her looking anywhere but him. The blood in his veins boiled to extent of his anger. His jaw clenched as he read further.

‘I won’t hesitate to slit her throat like I slit your mother’s. Oh what a extravagant beauty she was but too bad she had to die. I don’t want to dirty my hands any more. I just need to wipe her existence from face of this Earth. And on emote thing. Give my greetings to dearest Falcon.’

Your Dearest, Everett Edgar Vll.
