Chereads / The last dark one / Chapter 8 - [8.] Secrets kept stories told

Chapter 8 - [8.] Secrets kept stories told

Laz was downstairs with Liam and his family. Yua and Max were outside training with each other after what happened yesterday.

- Actually..Zach called you guys traitors..may I ask why?- Lazari hesitated.

- Oh it's nothing. We actually like angels and in his eyes even the thought of angels and demons living in peace is impossible. When we left hell to avoid him and we entered heaven he saw us and most likely deemed us traitors right away- Mark answered. Laz got the book that she kept from heaven out and flipped over to the Legend of dark angels.

- Dark angels?..Are you interested in them dear?- Lilith asked once she saw the title.

- Yeah..I find them the perfect peacekeepers since they are a mix of angels and demons- Laz answered honestly. When she looked up from the book Liam and the rest of the family were looking at her surprised. Before anyone said anything Yua opened the door and looked inside.

- Laz can you come outside for a second?- she asked and Laz nodded. The princess stood up and walked outside where Max and Yua were training.

- Is the Crimson blood out of your system?- Yua asked unexpectedly.

- I think so. It weakened me a bit but Leila said I will survive- Lazari answered as they walked over to Max.

- You talked to her again?- Max asked as Yua and Laz got close enough.

- yes. While I was unconscious she decided to appear again. I still don't know how I am able to talk to her- Lazari said.

- Well no matter. Did Zach do anything to you besides the poison?- Yua asked once again.

- No. I put the shield up before he could've done anything- Laz said calmly.

Max handed Lazari a sword which she took gladly.

- Yua said that you wield the sword even better than her..I have to see that to be sure- Max got his own sword out and got into a position to spar.

- Oh..alright- Laz also got into a sparring stance. Lazari closed her eyes and took a deep breath..she focused on her surroundings..she could hear the wind blow and the way Max moved...the second she opened her eyes she attacked. Max didn't even have time to register what in the two realms happened and he was already disarmed on the floor. Laz lowered her sword and looked at the knight with a proud smile on her face. She extended her hand to help him stand up which he took happily.

- You just managed to beat a trained knight Lazari. Who thought you that technique?- Max asked as he stood up.

- Actually...Alexander taught me. He is a knight at God's castle- Laz said happily.

- Alexander?..Huh Dad I didn't think he would actually be able to fulfill his dream- Yua said.

- Wait..you guys know him?!- the princess was shocked since Yua talked about the knight as if she knew him for years.

- I trained him before the barrier was built. Everything he knows he learned it from me- Max said happily

Yua Max and Lazari were outside for two hours. Once they headed back into the house Liam was already reading the legend of dark angels.

- Ah you guys are back already?- Mark looked at them. Laz just nodded and sat down next to Liam.

- "Making them half demon and half angel.."- Liam was reading out loud.

- "They are known as the children of darkness"- Lazari decided to read the last line before him.

- O-oh you're here- Liam looked up at the princess.

- Yep. She managed to beat Dad in a sparring match- Yua said while she started boiling water.

- Oh?...I am proud of you dear- Lilith said with a soft smile.

- Thank you mo..- Laz almost called her mom..again..

- You can call me mom or mother..if you wish to of course- Lilith said. - you are part of the family after all. Isn't that right my dear?- She looked at her husband.

- Yes she is. If she wishes to be of course- Mark answered.

- oh? I will have a twin sister then?- Liam asked.

- Yes you will..and yes. I wish to be part of the family- Laz said with a smile...this was the first time she finally had a family...

- Very well then..welcome to the family sis!- Liam turned to look at her and smiled.

- Yayy big sissy!- Rebecca hugged Lazari.

After a slight celebration everyone went back to more important things. Laz and Liam looked through the book to see if they missed anything while Lilith was taking care of the two younger children. Max and Yua went out to buy a few ingredients to make dinner and Mark decided to try and get into touch with a few old friends who might be able to help get Laz into the castle.

- Hey Liam look...isn't it kinda weird that this page is empty?- Laz said as she turned to page 160..only two pages before the Legend of dark angels.

- Huh...any ideas? You know more about angelic stuff than I- Liam said as he looked at her.

-...turn off the lights I wanna try something- she said and Liam nodded.

- Mom we are turning off the lights. Laz and I might've found something- He said so his mom wouldn't be confused.

- Alright dear. I will take your brother and sister outside while you two do whatever you have to- with that Lilith took Rebecca and Elias out. Elias who was Liam's six-year-old little brother looked at his older siblings and then walked out with his mom. Liam turned off the lights and walked back into the kitchen.

- Alright...here goes nothing- Laz took a deep breath and summoned a light into her hand. As soon as she did so a few runes appeared on the paper.

- Wow..I-it's working!- Liam smiled. Laz felt something..familiar about the book...even tho when she was in the catacombs that was the first time she saw "the prophesy of darkness" the magic from the book was oddly familiar.

-..."Shall darkness come let the light fall..once again the dark angels will rule them all"- She said the unknown spell as if she knew it by heart. The second she did all of the light lit up making a half circle. She recognized all of them..those were the same ones that were on the door...light..darkness..life..death..but there were also two others. The two runes were the symbols of the two realms..

- Laz..what was that?..T-that spell..how did you know it?- Liam looked at her in disbelief.

- I have absolutely no idea...it just..felt right to say it. As if I knew it by heart.- Laz made the light in her hand disappear and just as she thought the runes stayed. Liam turned the lights on and sat down next to her.

The two of them studied the runes but only came up with one conclusion..they need the other half of the book. Once everyone got home they told them what they found. Mark noted that he managed to contact a few of the older guards at the castle but the only time when they even have a chance of getting in is at the anniversary...after the full day was spent trying to get something else out of the book Lazari headed up to her room. She changed only some pajamas and then laid down on her bed..as soon as she fell asleep she saw something...

As she looked closer..it was an angel...but with black wings and the tail of a demon...she was looking at a dark angel..the angel was arguing with God and Satan..the next thing Laz saw was light and fire..and then a burned down realm...did..did the dark angels have their own realm?..

Laz jolted up from her dream. She immediately took out a piece of paper and wrote down what she saw. After she did that she went back to sleep but this time..it was peaceful. She fell asleep and this time she didn't wake up..the only thing that still slightly kept her up were the new questions the whole situation threw at her..she knew one thing for sure. She can count on people let them be angels or demons she or allies on both sides...she swore to uncover the truth..and she was planning on going back on her word.
