truemate, but she always had this crazy idea in her head that one day he would just wake up and realise that she was it. Guess she’s not taking the news about you two so well.”
“You think?”
“Come on,” she said, helping me up off the floor. “Let’s go get a drink. I think you deserve one.” Smiling, she led me towards the door. I got the feeling she wasn’t talking about water.

“Is that him?” I asked, turning to Isaac. “Is that the demon that is after Kaia?”
We had been down in the vault for hours, organising all the books. There was everything from history books to encyclopaedias, from books on demons to fairies. For some reason, as I had dug through the mountain of book that we were sorting through, this book had caught my eye and I just couldn't help but flick through it. The first page it had stopped on was this one and I kept coming back to it again and again. I just knew that it was him.
“Let me see... Oh yes, Abaddon. A very evil being that is said to stop at nothing to get what he wants.”
So not what I wanted hear.
As Isaacs moved away, I felt Frankie and Zak close in on my sides, looking over my shoulder to see the book. There were no pictures or drawings, but there was enough written to make my heart fill with dread. This was much worse than I had originally thought.
A demon from the lowest pits, Abaddon came to this world seeking power. After killing the four Elemental witches of that time, hoping to gain their powers for himself, he was angered to discover that upon their deaths the witches powers did not transfer to him, but instead passed on to the next witch born worthy of it. Angered by this, Abaddon spent the next decade raining terror upon the earth, leaving rivers of blood in his wake.
Sometime in the years after the original Elementals were killed, (Exact date unknown) a prophecy was made by the seer Galadriel, that Abaddon would meet his end when the four Elementals reunited as one to face him again. Since hearing of the prophecy, Abaddon has embarked on a non-stop mission to stop the prophecy from being fulfilled, by killing each and every one of the Elemental witches before they come off age, at which point they are still unprotected and vulnerable without their protectors.
“Oh shit, man!” Frankie uttered after reading the page.
“Shit is right. How am I meant to keep her safe from him?” I mumbled to myself, not expecting anyone to answer.
“By securing the bond,” Isaac stated simply, with a small smile on his face.
“It’s not that simple.”
“Why not?” Frankie asked. “What's stopping you, anyway? I know she's refusing but can't just get another witch to do the spell or something.”
“Like I said, it’s not that simple .” Spotting the look of confusion upon his face, I decided to come clean about the final part of the bonding. “The bonding spell is performed during the ‘ultimate intimate moment’ ,” I said quoting the Crone’s words. A frown formed on his face, him having no clue as to what I was talking about. Hell, my friend was slow. “Sex, you twat. During sex.”
“Well, why didn't you just say that.”
“Fuck, you really are in deep shit.” Zak slapped me on the back, moving back over to the large pile of books he had been going through before I’d drawn his attention.
“Tell me about it.”
We worked for another hour to two, cleaning the books as we went. Picking up a very large, very dusty book I blew on the cover, sending dust partials everywhere.
“Did you have to do that?” Zak spluttered as he choked on the dust swarming the already stale air of the vault.
Coughing myself, I almost choked to death when I saw the title of the book in my hands.
‘History of The Elemental ~ Earth ’

Opening it up, I found that it was indeed all about the elemental power of earth. But what was it doing here in our
