up and kissed him. He kissed back and parted, disappearing with the wind. He walked into the throne room and knelt down, hand over his heart as his eyes closed.
AYou called my king?A Demetri said.
Shin put up a monitor and showed a picture of a woman. Demetri looked at him and smirked as Shin looked at him.
AYou have to kill this human. She possesses a dangerous power, but it has not awakened yet. She is a great threat to us,A he said, standing up.

Demetri=s eyes widened a little as he gasped. It was Selene. Shin sat down and glanced at the picture.
AYes sir,A Demetri said and left.
He was in the human world and it was raining. He walked toward her apartment and knocked on the door. Selene answered it and saw Demetri, gasping as he saw his sword.
AWhat is it?@ She asked, backing away.
Demetri raised his sword a little as he gripped it tightly. He didn=t want to do this, but one thing for sure, it would kill the feelings he had for her.
AI=m sorry Selene, I have to kill you. The king of the underworld ordered it,A he said and raised his sword higher.
She gasped as he swung it and closed her eyes tightly. She screamed as the sword hit her shoulder, ripping some of her shirt off. She fell to the floor and gripped her shoulder painfully. Demetri put his sword away and picked up the blood and shirt as she looked at him confused.
ASelene I=m going to make a copy of you. It will fool him for a little while, but he will figure it out, I=m sorry,A he said, sadness in his eyes.
He healed her shoulder and kissed her, she gasped and kissed back. AI=ll come back,A he promised and disappeared.
He walked to the throne room, carrying the dead clone in his arms. He walked in the throne room and saw Shin on his chair.
AMy king, what do you want with the body?@ Demetri asked, standing in the throne room.
The king told him as Demetri smirked and threw the body in the fire.
AVery well Demetri. You can have two years off, do what you like. You=ve worked hard,A he said.
Demetri came back in the apartment and found Selene lying down on the bed asleep. He smiled and sat down beside her, stroking the outline of her face with his hand. She opened her eyes and smiled at him as he smiled back.
AYou=re back,A she said, sitting up and embracing him.
He embraced her back as his eyes closed, and then opened. He wanted to keep holding her and then wondered why he had fallen for her so fast.
ASelene?@ He asked, putting his hand under her chin.
She looked at him and her eyes shone a little. He looked back and his eyes shone from the moon too.
AWill you be my lover?@ He asked, caressing her face gently.
She leaned toward him and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he kissed back gently.

AI will Demetri. I love you,A she whispered as she looked at him.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing her closer to him. He put his forehead to hers and sighed a little. Silence passed between them for a moment, both thinking how this had happened. He leaned toward her as his eyes closed.
AI love you too Selene,A he whispered. He brushed his lips against hers briefly, then kissed her passionately.
He pushed her against the bed as he still kissed her. She kissed back, moaning a little as his lips brushed against hers. He took off her shirt and she took off his as they both parted.
ASelene, be with me forever,A he said.
She nodded and smiled as he smiled back. She kissed him again slowly and he kissed back. In the middle of the night he woke up, glancing on his chest at her sleeping form. Her head and arms were on his bare chest.
He smiled and stroked her hair with his hand, tracing her face. He slowly went down to her hips and gripped her to him as she snuggled into him more.
AThis love between us, between a human and a demon, is forbidden,A he thought, looking at her face.
He smiled and slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her. He walked to the window as the full moon shone into the room and them. He heard Selene whimper and looked toward her. She was gripping the bed sheets tightly as tears formed in her eyes.
ANo,A she whispered, fear in her voice.
He walked over to her and touched her cheek as she tossed her head back and forth. She mumbled more, some not understandable.
ADon=t... I can=tY,@ she whimpered.
She opened her eyes and he looked at her worriedly as she wiped the tears away. She smiled reassuringly at him as he continued to wear his concerned expression.
AJust a bad dream, don=t worry,A she said.
He nodded and held her in his arms. They smiled at each other as he leaned down and kissed her. They both laid down and went to bed as she had her arms and head on his chest. He had his arms wrapped protectively around her and they fell asleep.


Chapter 2


Powers Emerge

Selene woke up and glanced beside her. Demetri had his arms around her still, his arm tight around her waist. She smiled and got out of bed, putting on a white shirt and blue pants. She walked outside and felt the cool breeze against her skin.
She jumped as she felt two strong arms wrap around her. She looked up and saw him as he smiled.
@Good morning,A he said.
She giggled and touched his face smiling.
AGood morning,A she said.
He kissed her as she kissed him back gently, and then parted. He sighed as a pulse went through him. He walked back to the room and put his shirt on. He walked back and kissed her, then disappeared.
She sighed and went for a walk. It was cloudy and gloomy today, not many people were outside. It started to rain and she hid under a tree in the forest as the rain pelted down more. She heard a twig snap and spun around.
In front of her were fifteen demons, green and slimy. She backed up and ran as they chased her. she tripped and closed her eyes as the demons pounced toward her, jaws open. The demons screamed and she opened her eyes.
There was a man with angel wings in front of her. He had pointy teeth a little, black hair and green eyes.
ALong time no see, Selene,A he said, sword in hand.
He held out his hand and she grabbed it confused. The man wore blue jeans and a white shirt, stained with red splatters.
AWho are you?@ She asked.
He smiled and handed her a case. It was black with silver straps. She grabbed it as he looked at her.
AYou=ll remember when you touch your sword,A he said and charged at the demon=s, killing them. ASelene take the sword.A
He looked at her as his wings glowed. She opened the case and gasped in wonder at the sword. It was a silver sword with a red grip, a red jewel made from demons in the middle of the hilt. She grabbed it and huge white light exploded from it as she closed her eyes.

The man shielded his eyes from the light as Selene did. When the light disappeared she was wearing a kimono looking dress. It split at the legs, revealing part of her left leg, and blue splatters on it and red. She had her hair still down and the sleeves went to her shoulders.
Her eyes were glowing a bright blue. White angel wings came out of her back and she gasped as her eyes widened. The man smiled and took her hand as she blushed. He chuckled and bowed down a little.
AWelcome back Selene, killer of demons,A he said.
She blushed more and he looked at her. She went back into her human form and put the sword back in her case.
ASee you around Selene,A he said and disappeared.
She walked toward her apartment and went to sleep. Demetri came to her place an hour later, finding her asleep and wet.
ASelene, wake up,A he whispered, touching her shoulder.
Selene opened her eyes and looked at him as he touched her cheek. She yawned as the worry dissipated on his face.
AWhen did you get back?@ She asked, sitting up as she shivered a little.
He helped her out of bed and put her in the bathtub.
AJust a minute ago. You=re going to catch a cold if you don=t change,A he said, noticing her clothes dripping.
She gasped and pushed him out of the bathroom. She began stripping and putting her pajama=s on. She came out as he smiled at her and held out his hand. She smiled and put her hand in his.
He took her hand and pulled her into his chest, his other arm wrapping around her waist.
ASelene come with me for a second,A he whispered in her ear.
He took her outside and she expected it to be cold. It was warm and he embraced her as they disappeared. She gasped as her eyes widened, they were in the underworld. Glowing blue crystals were everywhere, lining the walls and ceiling.
He smiled and led her over a river. He sat down and she sat between his legs as his arms wrapped around her.
AIt=s pretty here,A she whispered, eyes glowing a little.
She looked across from here, over to two trees and a pulse went through her. Demetri looked at her, his arms tightening around her in worry. She fainted against him and he took her home. She remembered something, if it was a vision, dream or a part of her past she didn=t know.

She was standing between the two trees, wearing a white dress. Her black hair was up and she wore earrings and a necklace.
AWhere is he? He should have snuck out of the palace by now.A she wondered, looking at the palace in worry.
She heard laughing and turned around. Her eyes widened as she gasped in shock.
AZen!@ She said, shocked as she backed up.
Zen was her old lover, the king of the underworlds son. He had short, blonde hair and green eyes.
ASelene, this isn=t what it looks like,A he said as he got off of the girl under him.
Selene backed up as he reached for her as tears formed in her eyes. He sighed and touched her hand, causing her to flinch.
AHow could you!@ She shouted, tears flying.
He embraced her as he coughed up blood and looked at her, shock on his face. She had wings out of her back and wearing her kimono dress, sword was in his stomach.
AGoodbye ZenA she whispered.
She got her sword out of him and stabbed him in
