The Cursed Human

“Such a captivating little thing you are,”

My heart threatened to escaped my rib cage as I looked into his green eyes. The fear I was feeling was beyond words. I couldn’t understand what had I gotten myself into? His soulless eyes stared down at me and I wished that I had never asked Angelina to took me here.

Then suddenly the voice whispered in my head.

He killed Falcon!

And that was enough for my fear to convert into anger and pain and before I could stop myself, my hand collided with his cheek. And the burn I felt told me how hard I hit him.

“YOU MONSTER!” I intended to hit him again before an arm was wrapped around my waist and I was pulled into very familiar body.

“I think I deserved it,” Draven muttered before rubbing his sore cheek and looked down at me. What a shameless creature he was?!

Lucifer’s arms tightened as he turned me around and looked mercilessly down at me. And that’s when I realised, I had fucked up.

“I-I can expla-”

“I told you to stay inside! What the fuck are you doing here?!” His words made me quiver in his arms as he seethed in anger. What I was feeling was beyond to describe.

My hands trembled as I tried to calm myself.

But before I could say anything, his eyes widened as he collapsed onto the ground as an ear piercing scream left his mouth before he covered his ears and fell onto the ground in pain.

I screamed as blood started to seep out of his ears and eyes. I softly knelt down as I cradled his face in my hands.

“Lucifer!” I called as I heard my Father’s scream as he too fell onto his knees covering his ears.

What was happening?!

I heard a cruel laugh before someone pulled me onto my feet and dragged me along. I kicked and thrashed in Draven’s hold as he pulled me with him.

“Let me go!” My throat was all sore and dry from all the crying and screaming. My Father’s and Lucifer’s agony filled screams were echoing all over the area.

“Stop moving!” Draven growled as he threw me onto the ground before pair of black boots came into my view. I fearfully looked up as I immediately recognised the man. I hadn’t seen him ever but the way his fiery red hairs and striking green eyes matched Draven’s, I knew he was his father.

Everett.

“You made it easy for me to catch you. Didn’t Lucifer warned you to roam in the forest, huh?” Amused. His voice held excitement and gruesome. My thoughts were running wild as I looked at him.

“L-Let her go!” I heard Lucifer’s painful growl. I looked at him as his face soaked with his blood.

“Wh-what is happening?” I looked at Everett with teary eyes as a cruel smirk crepted onto his face.

“Nothing’s happening, I’m just undoing my actions,”

“Hope I didn’t missed the fun.”

Ground beneath me slipped as breathing become impossible. I was not sure what I was witnessing. I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

How?

One question yet many answers. Her enchanting blue eyes didn’t held warmth and love anymore, it was replaced death, hatred and agony.

“Aphrodite,” I breathed out as she walked towards us with same glorious walk and pride. I was seeing her for very first time after Falcon’s death and I wondered where was she all this time?

“Sarah, Sarah, Sarah… naive little child. What did I told you about trust, huh? No one deserves your trust. You are too innocent to understand us supernaturals,” the hatred and disgust for me was completely visible in her words.

“Effie, where were you?” Everett called as he moved towards her. I was too shocked and shaken up by all this. What was right and what was wrong, was no more my priority.

“Completing the ritual. We need to start it soon before midnight,” I heard her saying as Everett nodded in agreement. Draven was right behind me trapping my arms.

Lucifer and my Father’s screams were now dead as they both laid panting on the ground. Where was Michael? I remembered Cassian telling me that they went together.

My heat shuddered seeing them in this condition. I wanted to help and comfort them but Draven’s hold was too strong to break free. Tears welled in my eyes as I tried hard not to shed them.

Betrayed. I was once again betrayed by none other then family.

“Why are you doing this?!” I screamed as Aphrodite looked at me. Her eyes were no longer soft rather they were rebellious.

“Why am I doing this? Well, I have nothing personal with you, honey but this… this mate of yours is an obstacle in my way. I loved him like a mother but guess what…. he never treated me like one.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her words were laced with venom for him. I couldn’t describe the emotions I was feeling. My mind was blank and void, I couldn’t even brought myself to believe that she betrayed me.

I couldn’t decipher what was happening. Lucifer’s agonising screams were filled with rage and anguish as blood seeped through his eyes and ears. I didn’t realised when tears become hard to control as heart wrenching sobs threatened to escape my mouth.

“No! No! Please leave them!” I screamed out loud as Draven pulled me towards entrance of the mansion, away from my father and Lucifer.

Help!

I struggled with new energy as I kicked and thrashed but my struggled died down as I was slammed against the wall. My breathing become shallow as Draven’s hand wrapped around my throat, with my feet dangerously off the ground.

“Shut the fuck up! Or You’ll be next to die!” He shouted.

“What are you doing, son? We need her. You can’t kill her… yet.” I looked up and saw Everett placing his hand on Draven’s shoulder as I was abruptly landed on ground with my knees scraping against the hard cemented surface.

I couldn’t control my tears now. I was confused and drained. Betrayal wasn’t something new for me but being betrayed again and again was something I wasn’t used to.

Then again his words ringed in my ears.

Yet. He wasn’t going to kill me now but… he was going to!

Draven looked down at me with disgust as if I had snatched something valueable from him. His green eyes were igniting with fire of rage and venom.

“I’m only doing this because I want her back…. don’t bother to think for a second that I’ve forgiven you!” Draven gritted but he was still glaring at me, as his father nodded with a smirk on his lips.

“I don’t need your forgiveness but….” I was terrified of what would happen to me or my father or to…. Lucifer. Every door seemed closed and it was alike I was trapped inside without a ray of light in my darkness.

Screams were no longer there. But I couldn’t tell if they were still in agony because now I was inside the mansion and that’s when I saw the walls, blackened with ashes. It looked like it was burnt down with the way every single thing was covered with ashes.

What was this place?

“Take her downstairs, NOW. The spell will only hold them for few minutes, we need to do it quick!” Aphrodite snarled as she didn’t bothered to looked at me. It was like she didn’t recognised me. Draven crouched down before yanking me up as I landed harshly against his body.

“No, please!” I screamed as I felt myself again getting dragged to somewhere. I clawed and screamed and cried but his grip didn’t loosened, instead he dragged me along the stairs as he left us downstairs towards a dark room.

My instinct were telling me nothing good was going to happen. I was threw against the hard floor as he closed the door behind.

“Good, now bring me the pendant.” I immediately looked around as Aphrodite pointed towards my neck.

Pendant!

Oh god!

I was still in dilemma and didn’t realised when Draven ripped it from of my neck.

“No!” I cried but Drove had already threw the pendant in Aphrodite’s direction. My eyes quickly did a scan of my surroundings as I observed a white coloured circle in centre of the room with three candles on the circumference of the circle. It looked scary and disturbing.

Tears of dejection welled up I my eyes and let them tell onto the floor. There was so much I wanted to say and scream but instead I remained silent because it was only thing I was supposed to at that time. My pleas and cries wouldn’t bother them, not anymore.

“sti megal? teri d? nami, ákousé me, k? rié mou,”

She muttered something in something foreign as I scrambled back till my back was resting against the wall. There was no light inside this dark room but a ray of sunlight that was piercing through broken ceiling, emmitting light inside.

Suddenly, the candles on the border light up on their own as she chanted foreign words.

“Proséfchomai stis kakés mágisses, gia na mou dósoun éna pnévma, gia na tous deíxo óla ti eínai i kakía”

Whatever she was saying seemed to brighten the flames if candles as suddenly whole circle was surrounded by fire. Was I scared? Hell, yes!

“Do it quickly! We’ve guests coming!” The door slammed ga isn’t the door as Everett walked I side with blood covering his shirt. My eyes widened as worst scenaries played in my mind.

By the way he was walking, I was damn sure it was another his blood.

Aphrodite’s hair flowed in air as my breath hitched. The fire flames rose above her height as she raised her hands.

“Kaló to pnévma tis teleftaías mágissas pou pethaínei, ákou me k? rié mou”

Her words were fast and urgent and then all of sudden her eyes opened as he glared down at me.

“Bring her here,” I thrashed as Draven carried me towards her.

“You monster! Leave me!” I screamed with new strength as I was dragged towards Aphrodite. But before she could do something the door was burst open and everything happened in spam of seconds as my body was collided against the wall and screams and grunts were heard.

I dared to open my eyes as sharp pain pierce through my head. My eyes landed on dark, solid silhouette whose hands was wrapped around Draven’s neck who was struggling to get air.

It was Lucifer.

I looked around the room as the flames started dying down. And last my eyes landed on Angelina’s body who laid on ground panting as blood oozed through her neck.

Everything fell silent for me as I tripped I’ve my own feet trying to scramble towards her.

“ANGELINAAAAAA!” I screamed out loud as I picked her body up in my arms.

No! No! No!

Not her! Not her! Please God!

“Please wake up!” I sobbed as my tears mixed with anticipation and anger, flowed down my face.

“Sarah..,” She whimpered as he frail hand weakly touched my cheek. I could sense her pain and distress that caused me more pain than wound on her neck.

“I’m okay, I swear..” I tried to smile down at her despite the fear and agony in my chest. “I’ll save you. I promise you I will.”

I refuse to shed hope. I refused to let her die. I would die to keep her safe.

I heard a gasp from behind me but I didn’t bothered to looked. But before I could process, a warm pair of hands were wrapped around Angelina as I immediately looked up at the person.

“Victoria,” I breathed out in shock as I saw her teary eyes looking down at Angelina.

“W-we’ve to take her somewhere… safe,” she struggled to say as she gently picked her up. I immediately stood alarmed.

She was Draven’s sister. Why would she want to save his enemy’s sister?

“No! You’re an enemy,” I shouted as I walked toward her but look in her eyes told me otherwise. She looked disrespectful and despondent.

“You’ve to trust me, Sarah. I mean no harm to anyone…. not even you.” Something in me told me to belive her words. Her eyes were filled with u said emotions and sentiments.

I guessed down before nodding my head. She was gone with the speed of light and I looked around with anxiousness.

God please keep her safe!

I was at a loss for words. I was in so shock that I didn’t noticed a figure running up to me. I fell backwards as a body was collapsed against me. I looked up and saw piercings gaze if Everett looking down at me.

“Finally, little bitch!” He breathed out in anger as he took hold of my hairs and started dragging me towards the circle of flame.

“Leave me, you asshole!” I screamed.

His grip seemed to tightened as he threw me inside the circle. As I tried to move, the flames rose with my screams. He threw his head back laughing as sinister smirk played on his lips.

“You’ll die along with the hybrid!” He spat with venom. The heat from flames results in beads of sweat running through my head as I looked frantically around. Lucifer was no where in sight, so was Draven.

There was only me and Everett.

“Why are you doing this?” I beamed as I looked into his ferocious eyes. His demor seemed to change as he glared down at me.

“You deserve answers, but you won’t be here for long… you’ll die today by my hands but don’t worry Lucifer will follow you shortly… I’ll try to make your death lesson painful.”

Then reality dawn upon me like a bucket of ice cold water.

I was going to die.

“I’m dying already, why don’t you fulfill my last wish, even criminals deserve this,” I responded. The flames of fire were making it difficult for me breath properly by I didn’t showed it on my face.

“Lucifer destroyed my happiness, he took my loved ones away from me. He turned my son against me. He is the reason why my own children are against me. The hatred I feel towards him is far away from what I want to do to him. I want to rip his happiness apart… PIECE BY PIECE!” By the time he was finished, he was shouting. I gulped down my nervousness a I keenly looked at him.

“I’m not his happiness, you know that,” I myself didn’t knew that. Was I his anything? Did I mention something to him?

His laughter boomed in tye room as he looked at me.

“Happiness? Oh! Belive me, you are more than that….” He walked towards me and crouched down outside the circle as he peered down at me. “.. I never saw him this much obsessed with anyone… not even Melissa…”

I gulped. I’ve seen the pain and anguish that he had for Melissa. He could never love me like he did to her.

“You’re wrong…” My eyes darted towards the voice as I saw and unknown man standing at the entrance with same stroking eyes as Draven but he had that dark, midnight hairs.

Everett immediately turned around as his eyes widened with astonishment and surprise.

I looked around frantically as ring of fire constricted. I immediately pulled my feet back from the flames that licked at my skin.

“The heavier you breathe, the more oxygen you’ll lose,” I heard a deep voice say. I glanced up to saw Lucifer’s frame standing next to the man. His fiery red eyes, locked me in his gaze.

“Calm yourself,” he demanded.

“It’s not possible..” I heard Everett whispering out as he backed away. Lucifer’s eyes snapped towards him as his claws descended and he flashed dhis sharp canines at him.

I would’ve laughed at Everett’s reaction a shis eyes widened and his hands trembled. But at this time situation was laughing at me, so I carefully tried to calm my breathing.

“Long time no see… Everett.” The man standing next to Lucifer smirks as he walked towards Everett. Everett backed away as the man stopped few feet away from him.

“Didn’t you missed me, Father, huh?”

Father!

My eyes widened in recognition. I had never seen him but now I saw similarities he shared with Everett. Same eyes, same build, same features.

Elijah Edgar Vll!

“Elijah, son….” Everett breathed out looking at Elijah.

“Son? Oh heavens! How much I wanted to hear this word..” Elijah grinned as his eyes glistened with something evil before his lips curled up in a smirk. “.. but not now..”

Before I could though, Everett’s body was being ripped apart as Lucifer stood behind him. I panicked as I saw Everett’s body laying in pool of his own blood. My eyes widened at the pool of blood spreading from his body.

“Elijah!” Everett screamed as he crawled backwards onto to hit against Lucifer’s legs, who looked with raged eyes at him.

I watched as Lucifer grabbed Everett by his hair on his head and yanked him up.

“P-please d-don’t!” He begged as he cried out in pain as Lucifer tore his hand off and flung it on the ground in front of him.

Tears streamed down my face. It was another like I was feeling sympathy for him but looking Lucifer’s this side was so heart clenching.

He truly was a monster.

“Goodbye, Father.” I heard Elijah saying as Lucifer’s claws digged into his chest and pulled the sloppy organ out of his chest and the life drained from his eyes.

He fell onto the ground with a thud.

He was dead.

I looked at Lucifer’s stormy red eyes as his lhe cleaned his hands with his shirt. “I need to get her out of there,” he said as Elijah followed behind him.

I could barely speak as I looked up at him and Everett’s dead body. I heard his footsteps as he stopped just outside the circle and this blood stained face came into view.

“How do we get her out of this? It looks like…”

“Witchcraft… Strong enough to burn a hybrid to ashes.” Lucifer mumbled a he looked down at me.

“We need to figure out what kind of magic is this!” Elijah asked annoyed as he placed around running his hand through his hairs.

I was confused.

Why was he helping Lucifer?

“You could’ve told me this a moment ago when I ripped his heart out!” Lucifer quipped.

“No one told you to be impatient,” Elijah smirked.

“Your father was testing my patience and you know very we’ll how giving impatient I am.” Lucifer snapped. He turned towards me.

Here I was getting terrified and they were talking like nothing was wrong.

“Where’s Draven?” Elijah inquired as he paced around the room. The flames were still rising making me sweat more.

“Michael is handling his ass.” Lucifer was still there staring at me. I know he was angry with me. He had warned me to stay inside but here I was.

I averted my eyes to look at Everett’s body. This was a bad idea. His face was unrecognizable and his body was demented.

“Where’s that bitchy witch. What was her name again… hah! Aphrodite!” Lucifer rolled his eyes as he sighed.

“I’ll take care of her myself. She owes me some answers,” Lucifer gritted his teeth in anger.

Calm down Sarah!
