something? “Don’t worry, Seth, I have survived more than today. It’s kind of normal for me.” I gave him my “I am brave” smile.
Smiling, he shook his head. “I wish I could take back everything that happened to you. We searched high and low, and I even tried to get info out of a few demons. It was when Chax returned with the news that I let go and decided to move on, but still I didn’t believe a word,” he explained.
So let me get this right, he didn’t believe a word Chax said but still he continued on with his life? “Well, as you can see it did me a lot of good, the perk of it was great improvement. If you will excuse me, I have some sleeping to get to, so get the hell out of here,” I dismissed him.
I could see how hurt he was by my words, but didn’t give a damn. Concerned my ass. Getting up he took a few steps back and said, “Then I will leave you to it. Vale, Kas.” He walked out of the room.
Fuming, I got out of the bed and held onto it until I could stand and walk on my own. I paced the room up and down, thinking it over. How could Chax have said that to the council and destroyed any chance of normalcy for me? How could he be that cruel? Did he really think that I would choose demons over the fallen? I was completely pissed off and the pacing just got worse.
Even worse, Seth says he searched high and low, but believed Chax when he told the council. Therefore, if he was so into me, wouldn’t he have thought it a lie and continued on? Argh! I grabbed my hair and released it immediately. There was almost nothing left on my head! Slowly I placed them back and softly felt it, by all that is holy, there is really almost nothing left. And even worse, three guys and Melissa saw me like this. I walked over to the chair and planted my butt in it. Bracing my head in my hands, I tried to shake off the whole embarrassment. After a while it felt no better so I took up pacing again.
Kali moaned and that had me stopping in my tracks; I turned and walked over to her. Her colour had returned to normal and she was looking good. By this time tomorrow I would have my best friend back and we would be at it again. But yes, I am going to have to chain her to me for a while, this was a pretty close call and I am not re-living it. I smoothed my hands over her hair and smiled down at her. I needed to kick her freaking butt over it.
Removing my hand my eyes caught something at her throat and I leaned in to get a closer look. Around her neck was a choker necklace made of black lace with a skull in the centre. I can’t remember Kali ever wearing this thing? I moved to touch the skull to get a better look at it and the moment my hand touched it, the world around me disappeared into mist. Standing at the end of my vision was Ballen smiling at me. “So glad you found the time to join me, hellhound,” he said, moving toward to me.
In reaction, I reached for my swords, only to find them missing in action. Crap, they removed my freaking swords. Ah hell I would have to use my hands, like that’s going to be quick. I moved to take him on when he lifted his hand and gestured for me to stop. “It would do you no good, hellhound, this is but a vision. This would be my way of communicating with my fallen in Exsilium, and now with you,” he explained, that devil smile of his taking place.
“I am not one of your traitorous fallen, so you can just drop it,” I growled at him. How dare he insinuate that I would become the very fallen I was going to kill?
“I see, well then the necklace around your friend is going to be a problem for you. Would you like to know what its purpose is?” he asked, leaning against an invisible wall. Crap, here we go with that freaking “surprise you’re it” thing. I just kept quiet and made sure I had my eyes on him. “It’s a death charm, designed to slowly choke the fallen until at last the fallen’s head is taken by it. About six months I am
