"Please wake up..." it was Luke's voice
I can hear him clearly but I can't move. Did he rescue me? I heard the phrase again but it wasn't Luke this time. Who is speaking to me? I felt the warmth of a hand on my own. Am I regaining my body's function? Maybe not. I should just lose all hope. I want to stay in here. In the warm darkness. Floating in tranquility. Nobody can hurt me in here. In the end Luke will be safe. He won't get attacked or hunted down as long as I am in here. 'Are you really protecting him?' I hear a female voice. I slowly opened my eyes as I saw a glowing hand. I felt completely confused so I looked up but my eyes ached a bit. I couldn't see her face but she was glowing. 'You must wake up child...' She tells me. Her mouth wasn't even moving.
But somehow I felt compelled to hold her hand. 'Please protect my child...' I felt completely confused and then the darkness vanished. She was gone. I blinked and I stared seeing a roof. Where am I? What happed? What's going on? I felt my heart lost and longing something and I tried looking around but a face pops up. My mind slowly remembering what was going on. I got kidnapped. I am trapped at an unknown location. The one who is holding my hand is a demon and for some reason I can recognize the demon. Kassandra is the little girl. She had shown me her memories of the past. Basically her last memory. Where is she? Did she vanish? Has she turned into an evil spirit?
I felt completely lost and I was missing her already. She isn't my child but seeing how she has been hurt and basically killed to use as a sacrifice for this man. It isn't something I can ignore. She needs someone to just hold her and tell her she'll see her mommy again. Even though I look identical than her mother. So she must be protective of me even though I do not have her mothers soul in me. But still. I want to hold her and help her find her own mother. She treated this child like if she was made of gold and diamonds. Even did her best to find her a spell or potion to have her child a little longer. I can understand them hating humans a lot. Even more this hunters.
"Your awake..." he spoke as he had a quick smile
I did my best to respond "You confused me... Demon..."
He chuckles out and spoke calmly "Seems like you are awake... And yourself"
I looked at the roof and I just wanted to ask it away as he might be honest take him off guard "Was it you? You protected someone similar to me..."
He releases my hand and lays back against the chair and the room fell silent. I looked at him waiting for a response for him. I feel like he won't respond. He looks to the side and I saw his jaw clench up. He then looks at me and I could see something in his eyes. Something different. In his eyes I can see the longing of something. It's so weird. He opened his mouth but then closes it as I felt he didn't want to respond. His hands were turning black. What is he battling? Is there something he cannot say? Or he doesn't know how to respond. Maybe it is that. He doesn't know how to respond. But just seeing his reaction I feel like I already now it is him.
He was there. Back in the past. He was right there. Or was he connected to the past. I feel like he knows about it. But why isn't he speaking. He can't lie that he isn't because he would have asked me in return something like what are you talking about. Or something like what do you mean. Or humans have such an imagination. Something to be honest. I sighed out and I did my best to sit up.
"She showed you didn't she..." was his response
I froze and I looked at him "She? You mean..."
"Kassandra... She showed you what happened over 300 years ago..." he says as he looks at me with saddened eyes
"Yes... How do you know Kassandra?" I asked him a bit defensive
I can't believe my own reaction and so he spoke gently "I have known her mother for so long now... That once I saw her out of the flames and with that book in hands I knew very well I needed to protect her... My little girl would have wanted me to"
"Little girl?" now I asked confusedly
"At first I didn't know... I didn't know I could have children... But... I made the mistake with sleeping with that woman... I loved her so much but because I am a demon once I got killed I went back to hell..." he explains gently
"So your her father..." I say gently in shock
"Yes... I was the one who gave her the name Kassandra... I wanted her to live a normal life but having a demonic father and a witch of a mother came with consequences in her body and powers" he says sadly
The pieces started to slowly connect and I just didn't know what to think anymore. I always thought Demons and Angels were created by their gods. Like God created Angels to spread good and positivity while Satan created demons to spread chaos and misfortune. We humans are so oblivious to how this world is right now. So if Kassandra is a hybrid there must be more hybrids around. There must be others around the world like Kassandra. Did they die also? Are they alive but just having difficult times? Wait, If Kassandra lived a solitary life with her mom does that mean that back then they got shunned because she was a hybrid?
I saw him stand up and he looks at the door. I looked at the door and I felt like escaping but I needed to just stay still before escaping. I looked at my body for any sign of wounds but I found none. I am healed up. That quick. I sat up easily but my body feels tired anyways and heavy. I felt his eyes on me and I looked at him.
"I should go... Kassandra and I have told you too much..." he spoke as he walked away
"Wait... Where is Kassandra?" I asked him worriedly
He froze by the door as he looked down "Only you can see her... So she might pop up soon..."
I clenched my body and I asked "Wait... How long has it been?"
I wanted to extend my hand and just reach for him but the way he looked. He looks very sad and he didn't even look at me anymore so he walked out of the room. He didn't even answer me at all. I wanted to ask him again but he just slammed the door shut. I felt completely and utterly alone. It didn't even take five minutes when the men walked in. A woman behind them. She looks pretty hurt and worn down. Is that a witch? Why are they bringing in a witch? This men looked really mean. The old man was at a far distance.
She stands right in front of me. She had chains in her hands and legs the chains had some weird letters. Engravings. In her hands she had a white substance in a bottle and it was slightly glowing. It had smoke coming above of it and I just tried to lean from it. The bright room was making it hard to concentrate in one corner of this whole room. Suddenly the woman screams back in sheer fear. I looked forward and I heard the bottle break. Shattering to pieces. The white substances vanishing into air. It was the little girl. She had turned into something black. So the other witch can see her.
"Do not touch her!" Kassandra yells in anger
The whole place started to shake and I was afraid now "What is happening? What have you done you filthy hag!"
"I-It is no-not me... An evil spirit!" the witch replied in fear
"Evil spirit? Your lying... No spirit can do this" the man snaps again
But the moment he took a step forward he got sent flying. Slamming against the wall. Curtains moved as wind appeared out of nowhere. I was held down by my blankets and I saw how everyone got sent against the wall. They all groaned in pain as they fell face first to the floor. The witch was still against the wall and I saw how her head bent to the side. A nasty crack sound I was able to hear and now the witch is motionless. Dead. Oh dear lord. I looked at Kassandra and she looks more and more terrifying.
I can feel her anger and she screams. The men yelled at each other searching for something. Another male lands on the floor as his neck was also broken. I flinched at the sound of his cracking bones. I felt like crying as I am not even use to seeing people getting killed. I know Kassandra is still angry for everything that has happened. She is defending me and all but it just hurts seeing how her body is deforming and growing. Anger rising. Her body looks more and more like a ghostly ghoul with rotten flesh.
"Please... Stop... Kassandra" I pleaded as tears streamed down
She looks at me and I think she saw through my eyes she must have seen her reflection. Her eyes opened wide as they were black and had slowly returned to normal. She looked like she would start crying and she just vanished. The place had gone silent and the men looked really mad now. I looked around the room as I was searching for her and couldn't find her. I didn't expect her to just vanish. I felt completely sad and lonely now. I think she hates herself now. It made me sad.
Oh Kassandra, am so sorry.
