Fire of a Demon's Heart by Shawnta Christensen (libby ebook reader .txt) 📕

in two hours and Demetri walked up to the temple. He made his sword disappear and stopped, looked at the sky.
ASelene,A he thought.
He looked tormented and continued as he started walking again. Memories of her flashed through his head in a blur.
AWhere is she?@ He thought.
He got to the top and a barrier was around the temple. Demetri touched it and winced as it shocked him. He pulled it back and looked at the barrier as his eyes saddened.
AWe haven=t seen Selene or Gail in a year. What are they planning? But...@ he thought as he looked at the temple and then touched his heart, eyes closed as he smiled a little. @I can feel that she=s still alive,A he said as he opened his eyes.
The temple glowed and the barrier disappeared. Demetri gasped and pulled out his sword as two angels and two demons stepped out. Demetri growled and tightened his grip on his sword angrily.
ADon=t worry. We are not here to fight. We=re here to help you kill Gail and save you girl,A one pair said as they smiled.

Demetri made his sword disappear and walked toward them. The other pair smiled and told him to follow them. They led him to a chamber and there was a sword on an altar. One side gold and the other black and he looked at the as two pairs as they beckoned him to take it.
He walked up to the sword and grabbed it. It started glowing gold and he gasped as golden dust whirled around him. His eyes widened and looked at his clothes. He had a gold cape, black shoulder pads, black chest plate, red shirt with gold on the edges, black pants, and black shoes. He turned toward the angels and demons as one angel held out her hand smiling.
ACome here Demetri. We=ll teach you how to use the sword named Bliss,A she said.
They all smiled and Demetri did as well. She held out her hand and she led him to a chamber. The room was gold and had crystals in it, mirrors for walls and Music played. She pulled out her sword and he held his sword as her demon lover came beside her.
Her sword glowed and the demons did too. Demetri=s glowed brighter as he gasped. He looked at them and they looked back.
AThe swords you hold in your hands were made in heaven and in hell. The one on the right is called Calamity and the other Bliss,A she said.
Demetri looked at his swords and thought if Shin had known about this. The angel smiled and Demetri looked at her again.
AShin didn=t know about the sword=s partner, Bliss,A she said.
Calamity growled happily and Bliss did as well. The angel and demon looked at the sword and Demetri did too.
ADemetri join Calamity and Bliss together,A the demon said.
Demetri did and the sword merged together as an engraving appeared on both sides. It started to glow gold and an aura appeared around it. The couple smirked and charged at Demetri, he gasped and held it up.
He blocked their attacks and thrust them back, gasping as a black and a yellow strap went around his arm. They merged and formed gold and it started glowing faintly as dust fell around it.
ACome at us Demetri!A she said and charged at him.
He smirked and their swords clashed. He gasped as a golden chain came out of the hilt and wrapped around her. She yelped as it squeezed her tightly and told him how to release the chain=s hold. He put his hand on the chain and his eyes slanted.
ABreak and dispel,A he said.

The chain released itself and went around Demetri=s shoulder, resting there. The demon threw fifteenth knives at Demetri. He gasped and held up his sword with the hilt up. A barrier was in front of him and then went down after the knives dropped to the ground.
The angel smiled in her lover=s arms and he smiled back. Demetri smiled and his sword went into an emerald jewel, going into his wrist.
AYou=ll have to learn the other powers on your own Demetri,A she said.
Demetri nodded and saw Sol and Shin in the room smiling as he smiled back.
AStay the night with us,A the demon said as he lifted the angel up in his arms..
Shin, Sol, and Demetri nodded as they watched them leave. They went to their rooms and Demetri laid on the bed as he looked around. He stared at the moon as he thought of Selene and sat up. There was a knock at the door and the angel who had trained him came in, wearing a nightgown.
AI have a way for you to hear Selene talk about you,A she said.
He sat up and his eyes widened in shock. She pulled out a ruby necklace and put it around his neck.
AYou=ll be able to hear and see what she is doing, only for tonight though,A she said and walked out, closing the door.
Demetri smiled and laid back down, closing his eyes and sighed. He gasped as he saw Selene, wearing a blue nightgown as she sat by the window. He smiled as he saw her look at the direction he was in. She turned toward the door and saw Gail.
She smiled as he smiled back and walked toward her. Demetri growled as Gail put his hands on her shoulders.
ADon=t ever touch her!@ He growled angrily.
Sol came in with a worried look on her face as Shin stood behind her. Gail left the room when he saw how sad she was. Demetri=s heart broke seeing her sad and she looked out the window. She smiled as she put her hand to her chest.
ADemetri, I wish you could hear me,A she whispered, closing her eyes as she smiled.
She started singing softly and he smiled as sighed. He wished he was holding her in his arms, tasting her lips, feeling her body against his. She heard the door open and saw Gail. She continued singing as he smiled and watched her, she glared at him.
Demetri was already asleep, dreaming of Selene. She went to sleep too as Gail watched her.

AShe=s mine Gail, I will get her back!@ Demetri growled in his thoughts.
Sol and the king went to bed, everyone else did too, soon the necklace=s power faded away and dawn hit. The king, Sol and Demetri were traveling again as soon as they woke, saying goodbye to the angels and demons who helped them.
AWe should hurry up and stop Gail, I have a bad feeling,A Shin said as he gripped his sword tightly.
Demetri and Sol nodded in agreement and they reached a city. It was normal as they looked around, Selene hadn=t been here yet. A girl was in the middle of a crowd as Demetri and Sole looked at them.
ACome here girl, I want to have you all to myself,A he said, touching her shoulder.
She growled angrily as her eyes and aura glowed. Demetri gasped and grabbed Sol as Shin got out of the way.
ADon=t touch me scum!@ the woman shouted as she swung her sword.
The crowd died as blood splattered everywhere. Demetri gasped and his eyes widened as Sol=s did too. The woman now wore a black bra, her hair black and a sword with blood on it in her hand.
ASe... Selene!@ Demetri shouted as she ran toward her.
She growled, flicked her sword and spun around. He gasped and pulled out his sword, blocking hers as sparks flew.
ASelene, Stop this!@ He shouted as he pleaded angrily.
She forced her sword down and Demetri growled as he tightened his grip. He growled and pushed her back and she glared at him with hazy eyes. She went back, catching herself and blocked his attack in one move. She smirked as sparks flew passed her face.
He gasped and his eyes widened as darkness went around them both. She started to apply more force to her sword, pushing him back slowly.
ADemetri, don=t stop me.... this is my last city, then I=ll rule my own kingdom,A she said, holding him back with one hand.
He grunted as he went back and glanced at his hilt. He touched the hilt and a chain wrapped around her, she gasped as her eyes widened. It tightened and she yelped as she tried to break free. He gasped as he saw a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
ASelene I know you=re still in there! Answer me!@ He shouted as he started pushing down on her blade.

She looked at him and growled as her wings came out. His wings came out and golden dust went around him as black went around her.
ADemetri!@ She thought to him, her mind still hers.
They clashed several times as Demetri jumped in the air and blocked her attack. She flew at him and he flew at her as they both raised their swords.
ASelene! Come on, your stronger than this!@ He shouted, blocking and striking her sword attacks as fifteen came at him at once.
ADemetri!A she thought to him, her voice faint and tired.
Demetri screamed as he got hit five times in his body. He went to one knee as he panted hard and one eye open in pain.
ASelene tryY. you can do this,A he said as he gripped his chest.
She raised her sword and he blocked her attack, grunting as the pain hit him. A pulse went through him and he screamed as he gripped his arm. His clothes changed and he forced her back as he panted more. She grunted and held her sword in front of her.
ASelene if you won=t come back willingly, then I=ll have to bring you back by force!@ He shouted and then charged at her.
Selene smirked and pulled out another sword. It was red with flames around it and Demetri struck. Dust rose, settled and he gasped as he saw her merged sword. It was long, hilt in the middle, two tips at each end, and coated with a glowing blackness.
She smirked and pushed him away. He stumbled back and caught himself, glaring at her.
AI haven=t been sitting on my butt for a year y=know,A she said, smirking more as her wings came out.
She closed her eyes and her sword glowed white as she passed her hand over it to change it. It turned silver and black, flames and lightning around it as it started glowing a faint red. It was skinny, then got wider at the other end, looking like a scythe, glowing black, faintly. She swirled it around and pulled it apart, looking the same on both swords.
AThe sword of the underworld and the other of a sacred mountain,A she said, joining them again.
It now looked like a regular sword as lightning formed around it. It was spiked a little as the black and gold mixed with the red. Demetri growled and charged at her as he pulled his chain out. His chain went at her and he threw daggers at her.

She sighed and disappeared as his eyes widened. He gasped as his chain went around and then behind him. She smirked and a black chain came out of her sword, striking the other.
Their swords clashed as Demetri=s wings
