hit a tree, then blacked out. Her sword took over. Selene stood up and glared at Demetri, being controlled by her sword.
AHer heart is full of darkness now. There=s no turning back for her!@ Armageddon shouted as she rushed at Calamity.
Calamity blocked Armageddon=s attack fast as Armageddon growled angrily.
AAre you controlling her body and soul? Or are you the darkness that has taken her over?!@ Calamity shouted, pushing Selene back.
Armageddon hit a tree and made Selene catch herself as Calamity looked at Armageddon angrily.
ANo, the darkness that has this girl is her own. Her own darkness that has taken her over,A Armageddon said calmly and rushed at Calamity.
Calamity screamed as Demetri got stabbed in his chest, coughing up blood. Demetri looked at Selene as blood trickled down his chin.
AWhy is she doing this? Turning evil and letting darkness take her over?@ Calamity asked as he got up and disappeared.
He reappeared behind Selene and stabbed her in the chest. Armageddon screamed and spun around, swinging his sword. Calamity blocked it, ducked and stabbed Selene in her stomach. Armageddon screamed and Selene fell to the ground.
Armageddon looked at Calamity and growled, clutching her wounds as she hissed in pain.
AShe wants power to protect Demetri. She keeps saying that, but deep down she wants to kill,A he answers..
Calamity growled and charged at Armageddon, sword out. Armageddon gasped as Calamity nailed him into a tree, a sword in Selene=s chest. He looked at Calamity and smiled as Calamity growled in anger.
Calamity yanked the sword out and Armageddon went away as Selene took control of her body, her power fading.
AI won=t kill you because Demetri told me too,A Calamity said and faded away, letting Demetri take control again.
ADemetri,A she said, coughing up blood as she gripped her wound.
Demetri went to his knees and then looked at her panting.

ASelene,A he said smiling.
Gail appeared and yanked Selene up by her hair. She yelped and Demetri slashed at him with his sword in hand.
AYou are of no use to me any longer Selene,A he growled and made her faint, stabbing her in the stomach.
Demetri gasped and saw Sol in a bloody mess. Shin was healing her as Demetri growled and charged at Gail. Gail hit him and took out his sword, Demetri blocked it as he grunted at the impact.
Shin gasped and Demetri stabbed Gail in the chest. Gail screamed and swiped at him with his hand, Demetri charged at him, then slashed as Gail disappeared, getting cut in the process. Demetri=s sword hit the ground as he growled angry.
ASelene!A he growled in anger and worry.
Shin walked toward Demetri and he fainted as Shin caught him. He healed Sol and Demetri and then started a fire as he looked at the sky.
ADemetri is the only one who can save Selene,A he thought and looked at him.
Meanwhile Gail had Selene in his arms, still unconscious. He looked at her and walked into a room.
AWelcome back Gail,A a girl greeted as she smiled.
Gail nodded and put Selene=s body in a chair type machine, laying down. He took off her clothes, leaving her bra and underwear on and putting tubes into her. She grimaced in her sleeping form as the tubes took her blood, putting it into another machine, then to another room higher up. Gail brushed some hair out of her face and kissed her, then parted as he watched the machine.
AIn two days, it=ll be ready and I can use her power and finish her off,A he thought as he smiled evilly.
Demetri woke up at midnight and Shin looked at him smiling.
AYou=re finally awake, I found something out,A Shin told him. Demetri sat up and looked at Shin as Sol woke up as well. Sol sat up too and looked at Shin.
AI know what Gail=s plan is. I put a reader on him before he fled,A Shin explained and then looked at the fire.
Demetri thought of Selene and his hands and teeth clenched. Sol looked at him and then at Shin as he looked at the fire. Demetri didn=t look at Shin, still angry at himself.

AGail told Selene that darkness was the only way to get stronger and save Demetri. She made the choice before he told her that, now that she=s completely evil, he=s going to take her powers and kill her,A Shin told them.
Demetri snapped and stood up as his aura started to grow. Sol and Shin looked at him, worry on their faces as Demetri growled.
AWHAT!@ Demetri shouted angrily.
Demetri grabbed Shin=s collar and slammed his into a tree as Sol gasped. Demetri=s eyes glowed in fury and Sol stood up. Shin was calm as he looked at Demetri, his eyes sad a little
AWHY DIDN=T YOU TELL ME SOONER?! WHEN IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?!@ Demetri shouted, pissed off.
Shin got Demetri off of him and was still calm. Demetri growled in anger as Sol held him back from attacking shin again.
ATwo days from now,A he said as he looked at Sol.
Demetri=s eyes widened as he gasped and Sol=s eyes widened too in shock. Shin continued to look at them as the fire crackled.
"No," Sol whispered in sadness.
Demetri got angry again, narrowed his eyes and ran off. Sol turned around and stared after him sadly. Shin stared after him and knew he needed to deal with this on his own.
ADemetri wait!@ She shouted as she started to go after him.
Shin grabbed her shoulder and she looked at him as he shook his head. Sol was trembling slightly, knowing they wouldn=t be able to save her.
AHe needs some time. There is no way we can save her in time,A Shin said and he closed his eyes.
Sol cried on Shin=s chest and he embraced her tightly, trying to comfort her.
ASol,A he whispered sadly.
Demetri was still running and then stopped as he went to his knees next to a river.
ASelene no,A he thought as his hands and teeth clenched.
He hit a tree and it rumbled as leaves and branches fell to the ground slowly. Demetri closed his eyes and shook his head from side to side.
ANo, this can=t be happening,A he whispered, tears in his eyes. "I can't lose her...not like this. Not to Gail."
Tears fell on the ground as he cried, his vision getting blurry as it started to rain softly.

ASelene... I will try to save you. I swore the day you left that I would. I can=t lose you, not now,A he whispered, clawing at the ground.
An hour passed as he stood up and started walking back to the camp. Sol stood up and walked toward him sadly as Shin looked at him.
AI=ll save her, I have to. I couldn=t bare life without her by my side,A he thought.
Sol smiled and embraced him as he embraced her back. Shin smiled and they looked at him.
ALet=s get going,A he said.
A day passed and Gail lifted Selene=s body up. She was still sleeping and he smiled as he walked up the stairs.
AI=ll have enough power to kill the angels for killing you, my Anasi,A he thought as he looked at Selene.
He went into another chamber and shut the door. The room was red with engravings around it and Pandora=s Box was in the middle. He laid her by it and she moaned a little as he smiled and stood up. He went walked out of the room, closing the door and his servant was standing there.
AMaster if you only needed her powers, why did you get Pandora=s box?@ The girl asked as she looked at him.
He smirked and looked at her as he opened the door to downstairs.
ATo kill her so she won=t be a threat to me. Pandora=s Box weakens demons and gives power to angels. It=s going to kill her and destroy her soul so she can=t come back,A he said.
Demetri and Sol ran farther ahead of Shin. Their swords started glowing brightly as they ran faster. Shin looked at his own sword and it glowed dimly and he smiled.
AWe=re close, I can feel her,@ Demetri said and ran faster. Sol gasped as he disappeared in a blur.
Shin grabbed Sol and went after Demetri. Sol looked at him in confusion and he focused up ahead.
AGail wants Demetri alone, to see his lover's death and be like him,A he said and sped up.
Selene woke up and looked around in a daze. She was in a chamber and saw her sword was in her arm. She gasped as the pain got to her and gripped her arm.
ASo, you=re finally awake. Do you want to get stronger?@ Gail asked, kneeling in front of her.

He put his hand out and smiled at her as she looked at him. She squinted against the pain and nodded, grabbing his hand as he helped her up.
AThe pain will pass,A he said as she stood up.
Her wings came out and she gasped as straps wrapped around her legs and arms.
AIt=s alright. I need you to use your true power to its max and then open Pandora=s box,A he said, arms crossed and eyes closed.
She nodded and pulled her sword out. She clenched her teeth against the pain of going to full power caused as her eyes went hazy. Her outfit changed and her aura started to glow brighter.
Demetri gasped as a pulse went through him and Sol and Shin looked at him.
AHer power is growing,A Demetri said and sped up as he saw the castle.
Sol looked at Shin and Shin looked worried as he grabbed her, speeding up.
ASo it=s begun,A he growled angrily.
Demetri broke through the door and raced up the stairs. He pulled his sword out and Shin did as well. Selene put her sword in front of her and closed her eyes as she sighed.
Her body glowed red and went to the tip of her sword. It pulsed and she gripped her arm tighter as the power transferred back to her, pulsing through her body more. She finished getting her swords power into her body and went to Pandora=s Box. She opened it and wires came out of the ceiling and went into Selene.
She screamed as she went to her knees as the wires took her blood. Demetri heard her scream and rushed up the stairs faster, eyes glowing as his wings came out. Shin gasped at his speed and followed as Sol looked at him in worry.
ADemetri can=t go in the room, or it will weaken and kill him,A Shin thought as he flew faster.
Gail appeared by Selene and eased the pain as she smiled at him. He smiled back and glanced at the door as he felt Demetri. Demetri made it to the top of the stairs and saw two double doors, engravings on them. He growled as Shin and Sol landed beside him.
AThe door has a barrier around it,A Demetri growled as he pulled out his sword and pointed it at the door.
Sol gasped and Shin smiled as Demetri closed his eyes in concentration.

AHe=s learned this technique already, I=m amazed,A Shin thought as his eyes widened.
His body and his sword glowed as power
