⚡️Episode 34⚡️
Violet chuckled viciously as she holds the dagger with both of her hands, th-ru_sting it deeper inside Ciara.
Ciara screamed so loud and the ground of hell starts to shake.
Beads of sweat lay on each part of her face, she didn’t stop screaming.
Her screams sent Violet crashing on the ground badly and the bones attached to her like second skin scattered everywhere.
Ciara dropped her book and continued screaming as she advanced toward Violet that was struggling to stand.
Her voice pinned her into place and she could not move or talk.
On getting to her, she stopped screaming. She tilted her head downward with a straight look but her eyes are completely red.
When she opened her mouth to speak, her voice sounded like three people’s voices.
“You don’t lay hands on our daughter Violet!” The voice came.
“She was just a kid! We tried to hide the truth of that day from her yet you are tormenting her with it!”
Ciara removed the dagger from her tummy, the voices muttered a spell with her hand on the wound and it closed up immediately.
She was possessed by her parents’ spirit for a while and they left the moment her wound closed up. When she came to her senses, tears trickled down her face on hearing the truth directly.
She realized why her parent’s spirit hadn’t visited her all this while, it was because of her evil acts with Violet.
She turns around to go pick up her book. When she picked it up, she clutched it tightly in her hand, she started chanting a spell that enveloped the dagger in coated toxic substance.
In a swift movement, she threw the dagger back and it pierced through Violet. It burned through her boney disguise and she let out a thunderous scream.
“You are questioning my loyalty? Let’s see what Hades tends to do with you.” She rolled her eyes and left the area with her book.
She was heading toward the cave of Tartarus when she heard a loud painful scream.
ON EARTH
MEXICO~Grandma Sarah’s Mansion
Grandma Sarah was sweating profusely as she was busy trying to revive Ciara’s light. When her candle starts swaying and reducing, she chanted some spells to summon any guardian spirit that has been with her and her parents showed up. When her candle started glowing brightly again, she sensed some toxic aura in the air.
She called on Ken.
“Have you sealed the parameters?” She asked.
“Yes, Ma’am.” He answered with a bow.
Ken hadn’t straightened up when they heard thunder strike outside, it was going to rain badly.
“Don’t tell me that’s what it is” Grandma Sarah said.
Flora came inside “It’s going to rain and the seal will be broken,” She said.
“They used nature against us! The black angels will gain entrance into the villa” Ken said.
“Open up the storage room… prepare to fight,” Grandma Sarah said.
“But your legs… and we need someone to watch over the candles, over Erik and his friends,” Ken said.
“I will stay inside here to protect them,” Flora said.
Grandma Sarah moved to another wheelchair with control and she pressed a button that got the wheelchair moving on its own.
On getting to the storage room, Ken picked a shotgun, Assault Riffle, and lots of bullets while Flora picked a double Barrel and tucked two Glocks 19 X into the holster she found in the storage room.
“How did you guys have all the good kinds of stuff?” She asked.
“We’ve experienced many wars in the past” Ken replied.
Grandma Sarah carried a machine gun and powered it with little essence left in her as a supernatural being, now the bullets are never-ending. She turned it into a gun that never runs out of bullets.
Ken and Grandma Sarah went out and stayed on the porch while Flora locked the room where the subconscious bodies are then went to the terrace fully armed and ready.
The rain came pouring heavily accompanied by strong lightning that spanned the night sky. The sound of thunder rippled through the air followed by the loud screeching noise of black angels.
Some landed on the ground in quick succession while others starts flying in a zigzag motion to attack the air, all with their swords.
Ken released shots at the flying angels and Grandma Sarah shot at the ground enemies. Bullets were released sporadically.
The sound of a flash of lightning and a deafening gunshot filled the air.
Just then, some black angels rerouted as if they were being controlled, they head towards the third floor of Taylor’s mansion.
Two black angels landed on the balcony snickering and snapping, they took two steps forward when suddenly their heads exploded and they fell dead on the ground.
Flora came out of the shadow she was hiding in with two guns in her hands.
She rolled her Glock 19 X on both hands and shot at the incoming black angels.
They didn’t get a chance to land on the balcony before she burst their brains out and put holes in their wings.
~HADES~
Tartarus
Haliah has grown weak and lost too much blood. She watched the demons fighting one another with her blurry vision.
Drops of her blood trickled into her eyes from the forehead and she could not see properly.
Her hands are pinned on one another with the orb in her hand and her legs crossed with the branch holding her still.
—• ANOTHER PLACE
Erik and the rest arrived at another place but little did they know that they were not moving alone.
The blood-sucking demons were awakened by Susan’s blood that dropped on the floor earlier and they’ve been walking with them all this while.
They are invisible walkers, they pass through rocky grounds, the walls, and in the air.
Susan’s wound didn’t close up the cause of their presence.
“Susan! Why are you not healing?” Kira asked.
“I… I don’t know too. I feel so drained” she said panting heavily.
“You look so pale and exhausted,” Jeff said.
“Guys? Something is not right. I think she’s right about something else being with us all through” Erik said.
“We can’t fight what we don’t know Erik, let’s get out of here as fast as we can,” Anthony said.
Just then, Erik was forced to halt his steps, he let out a sharp whimper with his hand on his stomach.
“It’s not safe to come out now buddy” Erik mind-linked Falcon.
“I can feel it… it’s near” Falcon said to Erik in his mind.
Erik groaned as Falcon exited his body.
His body glowing red and slimy, his true form came out in hell where he was birthed.
“You look different Fal,” Erik said.
“I’ll take you through the fastest route, we can’t get trapped with the blood demons,” Falcon said to Erik. He’s the only one that can hear his thoughts but others can see him now.
“What are they?” Erik asked.
“What’s going on Erik? Is he saying something?” Anthony asked.
“Yes, he said blood demons are walking with us and they keep calling others and joining forces. Once they are strong enough to take a physical form, it will be bloody here for us” Erik explained.
“d@mn this!” Susan cussed.
“Are they draining my blood or what?” She asked.
When Erik got his answers from Falcon, he felt sad and heartbroken.
“They were called out with the scent of blood when you got hurt and they are living on it to move and join others. There’s no way to stop your bleeding because they are invisible leeches that incorporates into the blood once they taste it” Erik explained.
Kira’s face dropped and tears filled her eyes.
Susan turned the other way to hide her tears and when she was able to stop them from coming, she faced them again.
“So they are to go anywhere I turn to because they move by my blood, “ she said with a scoff.
“Susan” Kira cried softly.
“It’s fine… I’ll be fine,” she said.
Susan removed the box tied to her wrist and gave it to Kira.
“Keep it safe,” she said.
“What are you trying to do?!” Erik challenged her.
Anthony knew what was going to happen but Susan was faster than them.
She touched Kira’s sharp hair and it pierced her hand making her bleed more.
She morphed into her dragon form again and said to them “Get Haliah and help Falcon then come back for me”
“Susan please” Erik pleaded ready eyed.
“I will break the egg if you don’t stay alive till we’ll come,” Kira said crying.
“The egg shouldn’t be used wrongly and I have promised the professor that we won’t have to break the egg,” she said then raised her wings to fly out of the area they are.
They all see a black aura rising from the ground and hovering around after her.
“Is that the blood-sucking demon?” Jeff asked.
“Not one, they are many! And they’ve left with her” Erik said.
He turns to Falcon and he leads the way for them.
