Fire of a Demon's Heart, Shawnta Christensen [android pdf ebook reader txt] 📗

His body was up in the air. His eyes changed as the air was knocked out of him and he clenched his teeth in pain.
AYou never came for me. I waited all those years and you never came for me!A she shouted angrily.

His feet landed on the ground and he pushed his body toward her. The black hand still in him. Her eyes widened as he pushed toward her through the pain.
AI did. I always did, I tried so hard to bring you back,A he said, then embraced her to him.
She gasped as her eyes widened when he did that. He closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks. She opened her eyes and they went back to normal. The black stuff disappeared and he grunted in pain. She cried on his chest as he embraced her tighter.
APlease forgive me, my love for making you wait for so long,A he whispered.
She embraced him back smiling as she still cried. His wound healed and they both closed their eyes as they smiled.
AI love you, my Selene A he whispered, looking at her.
She opened her eyes and looked at him. He wiped her tears away and she smiled more. He leaned down and kissed her as she kissed back.
AI love you too Demetri A she whispered and then put her head on his chest as he embraced her to him.
The chamber started to disappear and Demetri picked up Selene=s soul. Shin picked up Sol and they ran out of there as the chamber started to collapse in. Selene fainted in Demetri=s arms when they got out and he gasped.
He looked at her when her soul was glowing dimly. Shin was beside him as Demetri sped up and Shin did as well.
AWe have to hurry Demetri. We have to get her soul back in her body or she=ll disappear forever. We have five hours,A Shin told him.
Demetri nodded and sped up. His wings came out and he flew toward Selene=s grave. Shin followed far behind and Sol looked at him with worry.
AHurry Demetri, I hope you make it in time,A he thought and sped up.
Four hours passed and they were an hour away from where they had buried Selene=s body.
APlease let me make it in time,A he thought desperately.
He sped up and a pulse went through him. Black straps went around his legs, arms and wings as he looked at them. He gasped as they made him go faster and looked at his sword.
AThank you Calamity,A he thought.

He reached her grave and dug out Selene=s body, there was only two minutes left. He grabbed her soul and slipped it into her body. One minute passed as her soul went in and two minutes passed.
ANo, please let me be in time,A he whispered, gripping her hand.
Five minutes passed and nothing happened. Demetri gasped as his eyes widened in shock.
ANo...A he whispered, tear running down his face.
He grabbed Selene=s body and held it to his chest, her head on his chest. He cried and Shin and Sol appeared. Shin looked away and as Sol cried going to her knees.
AI didn=t make it in time, I was too late,A he cried, gripping her body tighter.
He gasped as he heard two heart beats and looked at Selene in shock. Her body glowed brightly and then back to normal as her fingers twitched.
ASelene!A he whispered, hoping this was real.
Selene moaned as she opened her eyes slowly. Demetri was too shocked to say anything as Selene touched his cheek.
AHi Demetri,A she whispered as she smiled, tears in her eyes.
Demetri smiled and embraced her to him as he cried, saying her name over and over again. He leaned down and kissed her, caressing her cheek as she kissed back happily. She moaned as his lips brushed against hers. She yearned to taste him again, to feel his skin against hers. They parted and he helped her up as he looked at Sol.
AI=m alive, I=m finally back where I belong,A she thought, looking at Demetri as the sun rose.
He looked at her and picked her up. Shin picked Sol up and they went to the underworld. Three hours passed and Selene woke up, glancing beside her. Demetri was beside her sleeping peacefully.
She smiled and walked up to the human world. Sol saw her and stopped her.
AGail=s men are still after you, stay here,A she said, gripping her shoulder.
Selene smiled at her and disappeared. Sol went to get Demetri as she worried more. Selene was in the human world, she had a red cape on, a red dress and black shoes. She saw Gail=s men and they rushed at her, swords in hand.

She pulled out her sword and charged at them. She killed five and one stabbed her arm, she killed him. Demetri appeared in front of her as one man struck at her. He grabbed the man=s sword as he growled.
AYou idiot!@ He shouted as he looked at her.
She gasped as her eyes widened, he growled and killed all of the men in one swing of his sword. She stood up and put her sword away as he turned to face her. He gripped her shoulders tightly and pushed her to the ground. He pressed her into the flowers in anger as he looked at her.
AWHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!@ He shouted as he gripped her shoulders tighter.
She saw his gold eyes and her eyes widened, fear gripping her. He didn't notice because he was so angry at her for going up to the human world alone.
AYou know Gail=s men are after you! Don=t be so reckless, I don=t want to lose you again!A he shouted.
` She couldn’t talk, the fear was so strong. His eyes softened a little and he touched her cheek, she cringed at his touch and he pulled his hand away.
AWhat happened to you? Your eyes... your body!?@ She asked, scared of him for the first time in her life.
He let go of her shoulders and sat on the ground. A tail was coming out of him, spikes along his back, his eyes closed as his teeth clenched.
AYour younger sister made me into a demon angel to protect you and I took that power to save you,A he said, going back to normal.
He looked at her and she backed away from him, his amber eyes looking at her as she looked away from him. He embraced her to him and she tried to get away from him.
AI gave up everything that day, just to kill Gail because he killed you. I need this power to kill him. If you don't love me anymore because of what I have become, that's fine,A he said, closing his eyes as she relaxed.
Her eyes closed and she looked at him sadly. He touched her cheek and she shook her head.
A I could never not love you Demetri, I still do. Once you kill Gail, you will lose everything. Gail was turned into a demon angel when he touched Pandora=s box,A she said sadly.
He was confused as she looked at him and then looked away, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gripped his chest and he embraced her to him in worry.

ABecoming a demon angel is for angels only. Gail stole that power, it=s a one time deal. The angels only use it for an emergency, that is why we created that power,A she said.
She stood up and walked toward a tree as she cried. He stood up too and walked toward her, putting his hand on her shoulder. She remembered the war between angels and demons and sighed, her hand tightening on the tree.
AWe created it to use in the war two thousand years ago. To protect this world from the demons and send them back to the underworld. Hundreds of angels used them and all of them died after they used it,A she cried.
Demetri embraced her and she embraced him back, crying into his chest.
AYou=ll die too,A she cried.
Demetri tried to calm her down and she calmed down after half an hour as she looked at him.
APandora=s box... I need it,A she said, touching his cheek.
He looked confused and scared. He gripped her hand on his cheek and she looked up at him.
AIt killed you last time Selene! I=m not letting you,A he said.
She smiled and kissed him as he kissed back. She led him to a bench and they both sat down.
AIt was in a prophecy that was decided for me. That I would be the angel to save this world from Gail, also that Pandora=s box could either be used for salvation or destruction depending on the person. It kills evil and grants power to good,A she said calmly.
Demetri looked at her as she looked sad and sighed. APandora=s box killed me because I had turned evil, sucking my soul out and killing it, but if you are good it grants you something. My angel ancestors used it in battle countless times before the war, to save this world from evil,A she said.
She gripped the scar on her left hand, pained by her childhood memories Demetri grabbed her hand. She looked at him and embraced him as he embraced her back, her breathing was shaky.
ADemetri I love you so much, if I don=t come back from this....@ she said looking at him sadly.
He kissed her before she could finish, her eyes widened as she gasped.
ASelene if you die, I=ll follow you. I=ll always follow you no matter what happens,A he said, running his hand through her hair.

She smiled and kissed back, moaning as his lips brushed against hers smiling. They parted and went back to the underworld, then went to sleep. Selene had her head and arms on Demetri=s chest as he wrapped his arms around her. They fell asleep in each others arms, content with the calm and peace surrounding them for a moment, after everything that had happened.
Shin woke up and sensed something was going to happen. He couldm’t explain it, but it had something to do with Selene. Her fate was tied with Demetri’s, whatever was going to happen, it wasn’t good. Sol woke up and wondered what was wrong with him.


Chapter 12

Turned and Past


Two days passed and Demetri woke up that morning and saw that Selene wasn=t beside him. He put his shirt on and walked out into the hall as he looked around. He saw Sol and walked toward her.
AGood morning Demetri,A Sol said, carrying a basket of red apples.
ADo you know where Selene is?@ He asked as he looked at her in worry.
She told him and he smiled as went to the human world. He appeared in the human world on a hill and looked around him.
"Selene you know it=s dangerous out here,A he thought, worried and angry.
Selene was on a cliff,
