The Cursed Human

Sarah’s p. o. v.

“But… that doesn’t make any sense. How’s that even possible?” I breathed out as everything started to fly above my brain. The more I knew about these creatures, the more complicated it becomes. It was like every single detail was connected to other tunnel leading to secrets of their pasts.

“That’s what I’m thinking… Ayannah was killed…. along with her bloodline…. at least that’s what I was told” Victoria narrowed her brows.

Stress isn’t good for her.

“Hey… calm yourself down!” I said worriedly as she stopped pacing around and turned to look at me.

“Yeah… um.. I still…”

“These are just philosophies of your ancestors. Maybe something might be missing..?” I tried to ensure her. But the surreal look on her face said otherwise.

She nodded her head.

“Don’t worry yourself… it’s not good for the baby..” I looked at her flat belly which was going to protrude like a watermelon soon. She smiled and again nodded her head.

“I’m going to the kitchen for some snack… you want something..?” She asked. I shook my head. I was hungry but solving these pieces of puzzles seemed more relevant. I needed to know whom these names belonged to and what relationship I had with ’em.

She took a step towards the door as I called.

“Talk to your brother… he seemed… quite shook..” I said avoiding eye contact. He was an asshole to me but not to his sister. He deserved the explanation the she needed to deliever. She nodded and stormed away.

I waited for her to walk away as I smiled in victory.

She left the door open.

“Let’s find a library…” I mumbled as I tip toed out of the room. As much as I knew, these damn creatures had heightened senses. They could hear a minute sound and I had to be more careful.

You might be wondering…. Why library..?

Because library is the only place where secrets are written in white pages rather than painted hearts. Maybe that would tell me why am I here? I needed to find library and read about what these ancestors had did. They hated witches, it makes sense but other than Melissa, that Ayannah chick was a witch and as far as I remember my mother and Aphrodite are sisters. And as Alatar had told me, Aphrodite is a witch. Which unfortunately makes my mother a witch too.

Then why in this holy world, Aphrodite is Lucifer’s step mother? Which makes her Kendrio’s wife…..?

Kendrio hated witches, Right? Then why would he be with a witch.

And as much as I know my mother, she would never kill Lucifer’s mother… And if she wasn’t the one who killed her than someone surely did killed her..? Was Kenneth the real culprit or he was …… forced to do that….? Cause no one would like to raise a war against Lucifer; a hybrid.

“It’s not working!” She seethed in anger as she failed again. This was her fifth attempt and getting no results after wasting so much of her precious time was making her rip her hairs out of her scalp.

“It will! Try again!” He snarled at her. He was as angry as her but he knew what did patience meant. He looked at her raven hairs flowing in air as she waved her hands in air.

She chanted a greek spell as flames of fire rose higher but like last five times they died down as they reached above her.

“I can’t do that! I’m not a born witch!” She spat as she tensed on word ‘Born’.

“But you have witch powers! Use them…. do something… anything but I want him dead at any cost!” He growled angrily while he punched the tree sending the birds flying in air.

“He is powerful than you Everett.” She sighed in defeat as she again closed her eyes but like always results were same: nothing. Having witch powers were both; a blessing and a curse.

“I understand your concern Effie, but…. I lost my everything because of him and the fire of revenge inside me would only blew away when his head would be down my feet!” The determination and fire in his eyes scared her. She nodded her head as she stood up from dirt filled ground and dusted ger priceless dress.

“You remember Our deal, don’t you?” She asked worriedly as she looked up at him.

“No harm will come to your son, I promise.” He looked into her eyes holding eyes contact as he took her hands in his.

“Mark your words, Everett.” She said determinately.

I had been going through same hallways but no room looked like a library. I was scared what would happen to me if someone found me loitering in the open? Draven might have my head..!

A bright light shinned through my eyes as I looked ahead. I averted my eyes as the light become to much to bear. My heart acerelated

as I heard loud footsteps coming around the corner.

I was done!

I looked past my shoulder but the other corner was little far. I had two options here; whether I let that person find me standing in hallway or run towards the other end which was quite far.

In short I was going to get caught both way.

My breathing get caught as I ran towards the other end. But before I could turned around the corner, a hand was clasped around my mouth as strong arm was smacked around my waist. Adrenaline rushed through my veins as the person tightened his hold and dragged me in a empty room, which I didn’t noticed earlier.

I kicked backwards as I tried to break free but before I could struggle again, my back was slammed against the wall.

“Hel-”

Cold pair of lips were planted against my warm ones. I felt him grabbing my wrists as he pinned me to the wall. My eyes were wide opened but the darkness was engulfing all the possibility of seeing the face of this man.

I groaned in anger as I felt him deepening the kiss. Judging by the force he had on me was clear to state that I was too much weak to fight this man. I went to speak when he abruptly grabbed my waist. His lips hungrily planted against mine as he slipped his warm tongue into my mouth.

I let out a sharp breath as I felt his hands groping my breasts. I was again going to become victim of another assault. I hated myself for attraction so much trouble where raising go. Why did this always happen to me?

Am I that much of a liability…?

I tried to push him but the grip he had on me was unimaginable yet unbearable at the same time.

A sobbed escaped my lips when suddenly he stopped his assault. Are my tears that much affective?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Something snapped in him as he gently let go of me. The strength in my knees vanished in thin air as I halted in my steps. His arms gently smacked around my waist as he balanced me.

“Careful…!” I looked up at him with speed of light. Though it was dark in here but I remembered his voice. How could I be such a fool? This was the voice that haunted my nights. He was the reason why I tried to escape in first place.

“L… Lucifer..?.” I stammered even though I knew it was him. I felt sudden emotions, like every emotion was flowing through my nerves. I was scared, angry, frightened, and somewhere most dormant of them was….. happiness…?

I felt relieved….?

Why…?

“Were you expecting someone else?” He smirked as he leaned forward and placed his lips on my neck. He was behaving differently. Yet I was feeling differently too.

Yes! I was expecting someone else! Maybe Damon or worse Draven…

He stiffened as he sniffed the air. He looked at me as I saw his pupils dilating and his irises turning red. His expressionless face get covered in scowl as he looked at me.

“Your odour…. it is changed…” He mumbled more to himself. Odour? Like my smell? I gulped down as I tried to get out of his hold.

He still scares me!

He tightened his hold on my body as he gritted his teeth. Unpredictable like I had said thousands times. His emotions changes with seconds.

My hands get sweaty as I tried to calm myself down. I was caged between his arms in middle of nowhere. My heart was beating erratically as I started shaking.

“Where are your clothes?!” He asked angrily as he almost crushed my body with his huge arms.

What am I supposed to say? The truth would led to bloodbath and it is the last thing I want?

“I… spilled water…. and… Victoria…” He gripped my throat before I could compete my lie.

“Lie one more time, I DARE YOU!” His body was vibrating with anger. My eyes widened in fear. This was what I was talking about. He is incapable of love. He is a beast; an emotionless diabolical monster. Air in my lungs become limited as my cells started to become deprive of oxygen.

“I… can’t… b.. breath..” I choked out as I tried to pry his hands off me. Every fibre of my body was trembling in his hold.

He abruptly let go of my throat as he slammed me again harder this time.

“Let’s try again, okay?! Where are your fucking clothes? Why the fuck am I smelling fragments of spell on you?!” He growled angrily as he looked into my desperate teary brown eyes.

Before I knew what was happening, I was pushed again forcefully back against the wall as he slammed his lips against me. I was completely taken off guard. There was a lot of anger and aggression in his kiss but also a lot of passion. Like he had kissed me for the very first time.

His body completely enveloped mine as he pinned me to the wall. His other hand traveled south as he gripped my waist before running his hands over my hips and down my thighs. My eyes widened as his hand disappeared underneath my dress as he roughly grabbed my behind, squeezing hard.

“You will get punished for lying… later!” He whispered dangerously close to my mouth as I panted for air.

I was dreading for that later.

The air around us thickened as I felt myself getting flushed. Heart in my chest was beating erratically and blood in my veins was rushing to my cheeks.

“I didn’t… lie.”

Another lie.

He tilted this head to side as he assessed me from head to toe making me feel insecure about myself.

His eyes flickered between blue and red as specks of anger was evident along with some other emotions I was failed to notice.

Another fact; I have only seen his blue eyes twice or thrice.

“You’re mine Sarah, and god help them who would dare to take you away from me.”

The threat in his voice was as clear as my hatred towards him. Looking at his perfect face always seemed to brought perfect memories that I wanted to bury thousand feet beneath my feet.

I looked shakingly at him.

“W… what?” I said terrified as I backed away.

His unhealthy obsession was not healthy for me.

He took a step closer to me as I backed up against the wall. I squinted my eyes as I looked into unfriendly crimson orbs of his.

“I said…”

He lifted my chin with his finger and he stared into my eyes as the other hand wrapped around my hips and possessively grabbed my backside.

“You are mine.. and lying to me will get you in trouble..”

I felt strange feeling flushed over me as he caressed my lips with his finger.

He looked towards the side as we heard sound of commotion from outside the door.

“Stay behind me!” He growled as the sounds coming from outside become louder and louder. It makes me wonder, How did he sneaked passed the guards? How did he managed to get past Draven himself?

I nodded my head softly not wanting to upset him more than he already was. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me along with him to god knows where. Despite of darkness he was able to see everything as he dragged me with him towards the door, which I was unable to see.

After crossing same hallway, he literally dragged me with him towards west side to an awfully familiar room. I let him drag me towards the room which I presume was Draven’s.

Wait how does he know about insides of this place? Had he been here before…? He moved quietly towards the window as he pulled the curtains away from the windows making the warm rays of sunshine hitting my face.

I missed sunlight.

“Come here!” He ordered as my feet carried me towards him involuntarily. I took a sharp breaths as he looked at me with unbreakable intensity. Blood started pounding in my ears as my face flushed.

“Close your eyes and do not peak, got it?!” He ordered and I nodded my head. Why would I peak? Peak what?

I gasped as he suddenly pulled me towards him and picked me smoothly up in his arms. I looked shocked at him. I clutched onto his arms as he climbed up the window.

“What are you-” I screamed as he jumped down the window. My heart dropped down my chest as I felt the sharp wave of air hit my body.

I closed my eyes tightly as I clutched onto his shirt for dear life. I was breathing heavily as he held me close to his chest like he planned on never letting me go anytime soon.

I opened my one eye as I felt him getting still. We were on the land, like he jumped from the window. I looked past his shoulder as my eyes looked up at the huge palace. The window from which we jumped was about very high.

Did he jump from there?

He carefully placed me down as my feet came in contact with the ground. That’s when I realised, I was barefoot. I wobbled as my legs shook but before I could make contact with ground he wrapped his arms around my waist.

“My lord!” I turned my head around as I saw Michael running towards us.

What is happening?

His clothes were blood stained as he held a sword against his waist. He sprinted towards us while Lucifer helped me stand.

“Take her somewhere away from here!” Lucifer Commanded as Michael nodded his head. I looked tensely at Lucifer as reality drawn upon me.

“.. I can’t, Lucifer! I can’t leave Falcon in ther-”

“What will you do huh…?! Fight with these tiny fists?!” Lucifer grabbed my writs as he shook them. His eyes glowed red again. One thing I noticed, his eyes always glowed whenever he was furious.

“Go with Michael! And do what he says!” He said to me as he turned towards the palace. He fisted his hands as he mumbled.

“I have some negotiations to make!” That’s what I heard lastly as he vanished in thin air.

“Come Sarah!” Michael said as he grabbed my arm. I yanked my hand away as I looked bitterly at him.

“Are you going to leave Falcon here?!” I snarled angrily at him. Falcon was my friend and he was going to become a father. And Victoria! She was still in there! What if she gets hurt or something terrible happened to her!

Michael sneers at me as he looked away. He was a nice man till he opened his mouth.

“Stand with me or against me. It’s up to you!” I said as I ran towards the palace. A small smile formed on my lips as I sensed Michael right behind me.

“The blame’s on you!” Michael snarled as he ran past me.

The sound of metal colliding with metal, growls, grunts could be heard easily as we moved further. Michael was close behind me insuring my safety. Our eyes were looking around as we tried to located the familiar faces. Where could Falcon be?

“Watch out!”

It was too late.

I turned around the corner as I saw Michael trying to fight off a vampire. As I took another step, I felt a hand smack me so hard in the chest sending me flying to the ground landing hard on the marbled floor.

I could hear ringing in my ears from how hard I was hit. I rubbed the sides of my head and felt something liquidy dripping down. Looking at my hand I noticed blood.

I looked up to hear a angry snarl and deep grunting voices. Mathew had Michael pinned to the ground as he punched him in the face. My eyes widened in terror and my whole body froze over as I saw the amber eyes of Mathew ready to kill Michael.

Mathew was nothing like before. His skin looked pale and white making him look dreading. This was not Mathew I knew.

Mathew looked my way as he kicked Michael. I wanted to scream for help but the tormentation was eating me alive. I crawled backwards on my butt as Matthew started dropping walk towards me with a sinister smile playing on his lips.

“Where you off to? I didn’t have my fun with you yet!” He smirked as I tried to get away from him. His bloody hands were making me call myself stupid dumb to fall for a monster like him. Before I could back away he grabbed my leg and yanked me towards him and shove me down on the floor.

I struggle stop getting up from the bed as every muscle in my body ached. I heard his chuckle as he again strode towards me. My eyes looked frantically around as I tried to find something to hit him with. My eyes landed on Michael’s sword that was laying on the floor. I crawled towards it as Mathew again grabbed my leg.

Everything happened in blur as I kicked him between his legs and lunged forword to grab the sword before plunging it in his chest. He looked wide eyed at me as I panted. My hands shook as I looked at him.

I didn’t realised earlier what I had done but when blood started oozing out of his mouth, I perceived my actions. His body landed on ground with loud thud as I stared down at his immobilized body. Reality drawn upon me.

I killed him.

Michale was next to me in seconds as he assessed what I had done. I looked up at him terrified, my bloodied hands shaking. I looked down at Matthew laying dead on the ground.

I looked at my hair d sin horror not understanding what I just did.

“Sarah?” Michael said taking tentative steps towards me.

My hands trembled terribly as my whole body started to quake.

“I-… I didn’t-! I don’t know… what I just did…!” I looked at him with tears filled my eyes.

“I swear! I didn’t mean to!”

“Sarah! It’s okay… it was self defense.” Michael said but nothing was okay

Out of nowhere, a group of vampires lunged our way. Michael pushed me back as he ran towards them taking two of them with him to the ground. My mind was still processing what I had done and seeing Michael bloodling his hands was not my cup of tea.

A felt a tug on my dress as a hand clasped on my arm and pulled me towards a large hall.

“VICTORIA!” I exclaimed as I saw her alive.

How was I going to tell her that I killed… her brother?

“There’s no tine left!” She whispered angrily as she pulled me further into the hall.

“You okay?” I asked worriedly.

“Y.. yes.” She whispered huskily. Her arms were bleeding profusely as the slight bump on her head was barely noticeable. This was right, nothing was right.

“You.. You need to get out of here!” She agitated. The trepidation in her voice was scaring my guts, making me questioning myself if coming back to save was a mistake.

It wasn’t.

“You need treatment… you are bleeding..” I perturbed as anxiousness seemed to get under my skin.

“We are vampires, we heal quickly.” she shakes off my hand and turned to look at me. Her shiny eyes looked through me as I saw her gulping down lump of saliva down.

Nervousness doesn’t suit her.

“He’s here Sarah and witnessing two old friends getting acquainted would be last thing on your mind!” She said as she pulled me towards the wall as she pushed me further so that my back was in contact with wall and we were hidden. ” It will led to massacare.”

I didn’t questioned her as she hides me behind her. She knew what she was doing, she knew what was right and in this little spasm of time I came to realised that I somehow trusted her.

“There were some things that I purposely hide from you but I can’t tell you… at least not now! But you need to listen to me carefully…. okay?!” She licked her lips anxiously as I stared at her.

What is she talking about?

I gulped as I nodded my head.

“Don’t trust her.” She looked anxiously towards me as I tried to understand her words.

Her? Whom she’s talking about?

“Wha-” a loud sound resonated through the walls as I jumped back in fear.

****

“I fucking told you to watch her?!” Lucifer snarled as he tore head off of the head of Draven’s vampire.

Sarah’s looked through small gap as Lucifer along with Michael getting rid of vampire by ripping their hearts out of tearing their head off of their shoulders.

“She is…. adamant!” Michael said, ripping the heart of one of the Vampire that lunged in his direction. Lucifer scowled in irritation as he kicked the still body of the vampire laying at his feet.
