Be With Me, Always

Chapter 19

They do not know what to do. It is beyond them. Rafael- leader of The Council, who has all the liberty and power don't even know what is happening to the young men that is in front of him.

He lived far long, but the red markings on Trenton Blackwood's body is something he have never seen before.

Even the young boy, Zainn Forest is acting strange. Writhing in pain, thrashing around and screaming.

Rafael feels a strong sense of pity for them. They may not know about this, but he become attach to their family and seeing them in pain bring an aching to his already dead heart.

"Its beginning already..." A woman clad in white dress state as she eyed them with blank eyes.

"Witch.., what do you mean?" Rafael ask coldly. The woman flinch from his tone, but nevertheless reply.

"...Selena's curse is taking its final stage. Awakening the soul of Lemuelle to let it possess this young boys' body.." She exclaim gravelly.

"But why Trenton is unconscious too? And what does this markings mean??" Chester ask frantically.

"Yes, the markings..it is something complicated but I think I have an ide---" The woman's voice were cut off when Zainn suddenly scream so loud. His voice ring all over the place, making them tear up seeing him as such.

Nico and Kim squatted down to his level but they gasp loudly when they saw him convulse. Then to their horror his hair start to grow to his waist and his once silvery white hair change and become as black as midnight.

"No! We need to hurry and take Trenton far away from the boy! Its not safe to let them be together.." A frantic voice exclaim fearfully..

"What do you mean?" Rafael ask with widen eyes.

Hundreds of yells, snap them from their trance. There are explosions outside, and a lot of yells. Banging and clashing sounds cut through the air. Yelps in pains, crackling sounds, and hurried steps are heard.

"We are under attack! Selena is here!!" A man fearfully exclaim as he burge from the front door.

They all grow rigid when they saw the scenes outside from now opened door. Wolves fighting, tearing each other's flesh. An army of vampires are swinging their swords, letting it cut, stab and decapitate a lot of rogues that come to them.

But the one their eyes can not take off to is the woman who is in the middle. Clad in black long lacy dress, smiling at them evilly as she takes the heart of one of the pack warrior. She grasp it in her hands, letting the blood flows through her arms.

The place become quiet as time seems to stop.

Their hearts clenched tightly inside of their chest as they eyes do not move away from her, studying her every moves.

The evil aura she gives off do not help, as cold sweat start to form on their foreheads while they silently wait for the events to unfold.

Rafael just gritted his teeth as he look at her darkly. Clenching and unclenching his small fist.

Chester and Deathon are looking at her cautiously.. Fully knowing that she is much stronger than they are.

Kimmton eyes grew red as he feels his blood boil from his internal fury. And Nicholai hair grew longer as his body begin to radiate with power.

Trenton is still unconscious as Zainn continue to writhe in so much pain.

Then they heart stopped when they see Selena smirk evilly as she grip the still beating heart in her hands.

Letting them saw what she wants to do.

Then she bring it to her mouth letting her tongue lick the blood that start to pool in her wrist.

The tension grow heavy as they wait for what will happen next.

Tick...

Tock..

Tick...toc---

Then someone shout..

Their eyes widen..

As the scenes unfold in front of them..

They grow speechless..

Completely grow still as their blood run cold..

"This what will happen to Trenton's heart once I completely dig it from his chest..." An eerie voice comes from her mouth.

Her mouth, that is filled with blood..

Then she takes a bite again.

To the still beating heart in her hands...
