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

they were black with gold in them. Two guys disappeared in a shimmer and Shin gasped as two held him by his arms, making him drop his sword.
ALet him go!@ Selene shouted, rushing toward him angrily.
She gasped as one man held her hands behind her back, making her drop her sword and punched her in the gut.
ASelene!@ Shin shouted.
He tried to break out of their hold, but they stabbed him in the back and he grunted in pain. Selene growled and looked up, and then gasped as her eyes widened. In front of her was a man covered in silver armor looking at her. The mask retracted to the sides and his eyes looked like hers yellow with black in the middle.
AYou are an immortal, a Feras.... like us,A he said in a low voice.
Selene shook her head and growled at him. Demetri and Sol showed up and killed the two men that held Shin. He nodded and charged at the man that held Selene.
ANo, I’m not like you!@ She shouted as she pushed the man away.

Demetri killed him, and then they faced the one that was in front of her. They charged at the man and he did a back flip, grabbing his sword in the process. He stabbed Demetri in his chest and went back. Sol and Shin swung their swords together and smirked a little.
He bent his back down and kicked both their swords up. He spun and stabbed Sol in the stomach and Shin in the chest. They flew back and hit a tree as he straightened up. Selene got ticked off and charged at the man.
He turned and swung his sword as she did a handstand. She spun around in a circle, dodging the man=s sword and kicked him in the jaw as he flew up. She jumped after him as he spun and kicked her in the jaw. She flew back and caught herself, grabbing her sword.
He landed on the ground and grabbed his sword. Both their swords were at the other=s throats, locking gazes. He stabbed her through her heart as her eyes widened and she gasped. She stabbed him through his heart and he grunted.
ASELENE!@ Demetri screamed, running toward her.
She stumbled back as he did as well and she felt something in her throat. Demetri grabbed Selene=s shoulder, looking at her throat, and she pulled the spike out of her throat. She twirled it around and threw it at him. He blocked it, threw his at her and she caught it with two fingers.
AI=ll see you again,A he said and disappeared.
She sighed and her throat healed. She looked at the wound in her heart and it healed up quickly. Demetri gasped as Shin walked over.
AWhy am I not dead?@ She whispered shakily and stuck her fingers in the wound, it hurt a little, but the wound healed.
Demetri looked at Selene and Shin went to heal Sol. Demetri was about to touch her shoulder, but she walked away. She walked up a hill as Demetri sighed and started a fire.
AWhat was that? Selene stood up against that man, but her wounds healed and she didn=t die. What=s going on?@ He thought as he looked at the sky.
Selene was in a river and her shirt was off as she looked at her wound, and then the weird tattoo on her back.
AThe reason I can=t die, was it because of Armageddon?A she wondered, trying to heal her wound.
An hour passed and Selene had not come back. Demetri got worried and walked up the hill, looking for her.
AI can=t die, but why?@ She asked as he looked at her hands.

Demetri saw her and walked toward her. She turned toward him and smiled. He smiled back and he grabbed her hand as she squeezed it.
@Are you alright?@ He asked in worry as he gripped her hand back.
She looked at her wound, and then shook her head as she opened her eyes.
AI guess I am. I don=t really know,A she whispered uncertainly.
The wind blew against their skin as her hair blew to the left. He embraced her and she embraced him back as her eyes closed.
ADemetri I need to know more about my past, I don=t think Hikaru was my real mother,A she said and he embraced her tighter as she shook.
He nodded and led her back to camp. She laid down by the fire and he embraced her to him as she snuggled into him.
AI=ll keep you warm,A he said as he smiled as he ran his hand down her arm.
She smiled and fell asleep in his arm. He did too after thinking for half an hour. In the middle of the night she woke up at a strange feeling. She got out of Demetri=s grasp and walked toward the river.
She saw the man she had fought and he walked toward her. She smirked and rushed at him as she grabbed his throat.
AI thought I recognized that armor,A she said and she stabbed the man in his chest with her hand.
She pulled out a black, silverfish pearl and dropped the man as he slowly disappeared.
AYou used Pandora=s box. The rest are in your friend’s bodies and one in mine,A she said as she touched her chest.
Demetri woke up and saw her as she put the orb in her chest and gasped. She went to her knees and started coughing hard.
ASelene what=s wrong?!@ He asked as he knelt in front of her.
She gripped the wound on her heart and gasped as her eyes widened. Suddenly silver armor went on her body.
AThe orbs that were in Pandora=s box are in the bodies of the immortals and one in mine,A she said.
She stood up and made the armor go away as she turned toward Demetri. Her heart wound was not healed as he put his hand over it.
@Why is your wound not healing?@ He asked in worry as he looked at her.
She smiled and placed her hand on his. Shin and Sol were standing by them.
AI got it wrong the first time. My destiny is to get all of Pandora=s orbs and put them in my body. I=m Pandora=s box, but this orb has been inside me all along since my birth. I became Pandora’s Box when I died.A she said as she opened her eyes.

They all left and walked toward the forest. Selene gripped her neck as she tried to keep the thirst at bay.
AYou thirsty?@ Demetri asked as he stood beside her and gripped her hand.
She shook her head, but was panting as he grabbed her hand and dragged her behind a tree. He pushed her gently against it and looked at her. He pulled his shirt down to his shoulder and leaned his neck toward her. Her eyes turned and she gripped his hand, the other gripping his chest as she went to his neck.
She bit into it and he gasped at the pain as he gripped her body to his. She drank more deeply as he clenched his teeth and she withdrew. She licked the blood off his neck as panted. He smiled and they ran to catch up with Shin and Sol.
They traveled to a city in an hour’s time. It was deserted, misty, and blood splatters were everywhere.
AThis is where I killed all these people when I was with Gail,A Selene thought as she gripped her hand.
Demetri gripped her hand and she looked at him.
AIt=s alright,A he said comforting.
She nodded and they went in a building. They laid down and started a fire. In the middle of the night Selene woke up as she sensed two orbs nearby. She stood up and ran to the top of the building, in front of her were two immortals, swords in hand.
She went into her armor and pulled out a silver sword. The two men took a step toward her.
ACome angel,A one said as he pointed his sword at her.
She growled and charged at the men. One jumped over her and she blocked his sword as the other went for her legs. She gasped and kicked him in the jaw, dodging his sword by an inch. The first one landed and spun around. She spun around and blocked it, grunting as sparks flew.
The second one spun around after landing and struck. Selene grunted and blocked it with her feet as she jumped in the air. She twisted her feet and the second one dropped his sword as she threw it over the building with her feet. She grabbed the first man=s arm and twirled her sword at him.
He dodged her sword blows as she struck at him each time. She growled angrily and did a back flip.

She landed on his chest and swung her sword in his chest. It grunted and stabbed her heart wound again. She ripped the orb from his chest with her sword and jumped back as he disappeared. She spun around and blocked the other one.
It forced the sword out of her hands and stabbed her chest. She ripped her hand into his armor, but he stabbed her arm as she screamed and fell backwards. The man raised his sword and swung, but she created a barrier around her. He broke through it and stabbed her in the chest.
AYour barrier won=t work on immortals,A the man said, bending down to take the orbs out of her heart.
She growled as his hand went in her chest. She gripped his arm tightly and he growled as he tried to pull it out. She broke his arm it gasped as he fainted. Demetri and Sol came up and gasped.
Selene was drinking the man=s blood and withdrew her teeth. She stood up, the two orbs in her hand, and turned toward Demetri. Her eyes were yellow with black in the middle again. The glittering silver-black orbs, turned white and she put them in her chest.
Her wings came out and had golden lines on and her armor turned black.
ASelene no,A Demetri whispered, shocked that she turned evil again.
She smiled and walked toward him. She touched his cheek and he looked confused.
AI=m fine Demetri. I=m not evil,A she said as she smiled.
He sighed and embraced her to him tightly. His eyes closed as Selene embraced back.
AI=m glad,A he said as he looked at her.
She grabbed his hand and leapt to the other building, and then to another one. She stopped and entered a cave as her wound began to glow a bright gold. She saw Pandora=s box and walked toward it.
Demetri gripped his chest and stopped as she looked at him. He nodded and she walked ahead.
@This is it. Pandora=s box,A she whispered as she grabbed it.
She faced Demetri and she put a cloth around it. He sighed and walked toward her.
ANow all I need to do is find more immortals and get the orbs. There are three more leftA she said as she faced the cave.
An immortal came in the cave sword in hand. Selene=s eyes changed and she pulled out a sword. She gasped when it grew bigger and started glowing. The handle looked like a snake and the sword pointed upward.
It had a black dragon engraving on
