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

one more time,A he whispered.
She gasped as someone stabbed her through her chest. Her eyes widened as she coughed up blood. His eyes widened in shock as he trembled with fear for her life.
ASELENE!@ Demetri shouted, ignoring his wounds and catching her falling body in his arms.
He looked up and gasped as he saw Shin behind her. Demetri glared at him and Shin sighed as he looked at Demetri and Selene.
AThat won=t be enough to kill an angel. You have to cut off their wings,A he said and sheathed his sword.
Demetri caressed her face and she moaned as she opened her eyes. Her vision was hazy at first and then cleared up. She saw Demetri and glared at him.
ARelease me Demetri!@ She shouted and got out of his grasp.

He growled and sprinted after her. She glanced back at him and disappeared as she grabbed her sword. Demetri went to his knees a minute after she disappeared.
ASelene, no,A he whispered as the rain continued to fall on him.
Shin pulled out his sword and Demetri looked at him. Demetri stood up and healed his wound. Memories went through his head as he closed his eyes and sighed.
ASELENE!@ He shouted as he raised his head in the air as lightning cracked through the sky.
Selene came back to Gail and walked into her room. He was sitting on the bed and saw her in the doorway.
ASelene!@ He shouted, running to her and leading her to the bed.
She coughed up blood as he fixed her wound and she clenched her teeth painfully.
ADemetri stopped me from killing the humans and the king stabbed me. I=m sorry,A she said as she looked at Gail.
He looked at her as he sighed and put his other hand on her cheek smiling. She grabbed his hand and he kissed her as she kissed back, then parted.
ADon=t be. We=ll make the king pay for what he did, together and Demetri will be safe,A he said.
She nodded and went to sleep when Gail was done and he sat beside her. He embraced her to him and stroked her hair.
AIt=s going to be okay, my Anasi,A he whispered and fell asleep.
Demetri woke up an hour later and he was in his room. He remembered what had happened and growled in frustration.
AYou=re awake, I=m so glad,A Sol said and rushed toward him as she cried.
He smiled and touched her cheek, wiping the tears away. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He stood up as Shin came in and they both looked at him.
ADemetri and Sol, I=m going to train you two how to use your swords,A he said smiling.
They both nodded and Demetri thought of Selene. He followed Shin and Sol followed. They both came into a chamber, water was around a platform, sand on the other side and gates around it as it glowed blue.
AThis is where you two will train. I=m sure Gail is looking for a partner for Selene too. You=ll need this to be ready,A Shin said.

They both nodded and grabbed their swords. Sol=s sword was blue with golden engravings on it, a blue snake was on her left arm. It started glowing dimly and her sword glowed blue too.
AHer sword is called Choice and Demetri, yours is called Calamity,A he said as he smiled.
They walked into the platform and it started to glow red. Their aura=s got bigger and stronger as their swords glowed brighter. Demetri=s sword made the water go up in a spiral around them both. Sol=s sword made the sand and rocks blow against them hard.
ASol and Demetri, are you two ready?@ Shin asked as he walked into the water and sand.
They both nodded and charged at each other as their swords glowed brightly. Their swords clashed and the water and sand clashed, drenching them both. They were both bloody from the rocks hitting them too. Shin charged at them and they charged at him, their swords clashing.
Shin smirked and punched Demetri in the stomach as he coughed. A flash of Selene=s face went through his mind and he forced his sword down at Shin angrily. Sol gasped and Shin grunted as he held off both their attacks. Sol pushed harder down, thinking of Demetri as she smirked.
Shin forced them both back and they hit their swords auras feet first. Demetri and Sol gasped when they stayed on them and didn=t go through them. Demetri was on the swirling water and Sol was on the sand. Shin smirked and jumped at them as he slashed down.
Demetri jumped out of the way, doing a flip with his hand, turned and charged at him. Their wings came out and changed as they hit Shin head on. Shin screamed as they did a crisscross on him with their swords. Shin caught himself and held off Sol and Demetri=s attacks.
Demetri and Sol=s eyes glowed as their wings came out. Their auras began to glow as they took a step toward Shin. Shin focused and smirked at them.
ADo it now!@ Shin thought to his twin swords.
His swords glowed brighter and pushed Sol and Demetri back. They grunted and landed on the ground and sat up a little. They both gasped as a red and yellow aura surrounded them. The aura disappeared and they gasped as their eyes widened.

Demetri was wearing a black leather sleeveless shirt, a brown jacket and black pants, a brown belt went up from his right leg to his hip. Sol wore a white bra and white pants, a black belt going up from her left leg over her shoulder.
AYour transformation is complete. You need to do five missions in order to get stronger, then you can save Selene, but she will get stronger as well,A he said and they nodded.


Chapter 6

Leading and Control


Selene moaned a little as she opened her eyes. She glanced beside her and saw Gail, his arm around her waist. She smiled and got out of the bed and went outside. She sighed as the sunlight hit her and she heard the door open.
AWhat=s wrong?@ Gail asked, slipping his arms around her waist.
She got out of his grasp and looked at him sadly. He touched her cheek and she brushed it away, angry a little. He stepped back and she glared at him a little.
AI agreed to live with you and do whatever it takes, but you and I are not in a relationship. That=s the only condition of me living with you,A she said, looking at him angrily.
He nodded and stepped back as he disappeared. She faced the sun and the wind blew her clothes gently as her eyes saddened. She gripped the necklace Demetri had given her.
AI need to get stronger so that I can protect Demetri, this is the only way to do this. I will get stronger and then kill the angels for what they did,A she thought angrily..
She put on her black jacket and walked toward a city. She looked at her hand, blood on it still and her sword too.
ASelene meet with a demon who will help you in the city,A Gail thought to her, then the voice went away.
She sighed as she walked went across a bridge. She stopped and looking at the water and then at herself.
AI need to wash this blood off first,A she thought.
She took a bath, got out, put her clothes back on, and then headed toward the city. She clenched her teeth as memories of Demetri and herself flashed through her head.

AGet out of my head!@ She thought angrily.
She reached the city and jumped off a cliff as her wings came out. She walked down a street and then into an alley. She looked up and saw a sign that said black demon merchant. She stepped inside, pulling away the curtain.
The shop was full of jars, bowls, pendants and scents she didn=t like. They made her nose scrunch up in disgust,
AWe=re closed come back tomorrow!A someone growled.
She smirked and pulled away another curtain, walking into the room. A hand gripped her throat and she stopped as her body stiffened. A demon appeared in front of her, with a human like face, wearing a black cloak, sharp teeth and blue bright orbs in its eyes.
AI was sent here by Gail. He said you had some help to give, but if you refuse,A she said as her eyes turned hazy.
She grabbed her sword and pointed it at his side as she glared at him. The demon just looked at her calmly, probably having dealt with people like this before her.
AI=ll kill you myself, save Gail the dirty work,A she hissed.
The demon let her throat go and she put her sword away. Her eyes went back to normal and it smirked. Selene didn=t feel comfortable around the demon, the sooner she left, the better.
ASo you=re Gail=s sister. You want more power to save your lover. This way.A the demon said.
It walked deeper into the store and she followed. It was gloomy and full of webs, dark and cold. The demon shuffled through boxes and found a box.
AHere we are,A the demon said, grabbing a box and handing it to her.
She grabbed it, wiped the dust off it and looked at the words. The box was a tan and gold color, coated with dust like an old artifact.
APandora=s box,A she read.
She gasped and looked at the demon. He nodded and led her to the entrance of the store. She stopped at the curtain and the demon stopped behind her.
AWhat is this?@ She asked as she turned toward him curiously.
He smirked and touched her shoulder as she looked at him.
AIt was once said that it contained the destruction of the world, but nobody knows. That was just a legend,A he said and walked away.

She walked by a bridge and looked at the water. Lightning cracked as it started rained, making her clothes drenched. She looked at the box in her and sighed.
AHello Demetri," she said and turned to face him.
Demetri had his sword out and looking at her. Selene sighed and pulled out her sword as a gold aura surrounded her. He gasped at what was in her hand and then looked back up at her.
ANo Selene. Tell me.... tell me that=s not what I think it is!@ he shouted, fear for Selene gripping him.
Her sword growled and growled. She looked at it and her eyes started to get hazy.
AQuiet Armageddon, be patient. We=ll return to Gail soon,A she said to the sword as her hand touched it.
Demetri clenched Calamity tighter as he clenched his teeth, bangs over his eyes. Selene looked at him with no emotion in her face.
"It is isn=t it? Pandora=s box in your hand,A Demetri said.
His aura disappeared and he went to his knee, panting as his sword went away. Selene gasped when he suddenly did that and looked at the box. She
