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

girl, the one you love. I=ve known for a month now, I=m happy for you,A he said smiling.

Demetri walked toward Shin and he told Demetri to stand in the center of a platform, surrounded by water.
AHere, take this sword. It will help you kill Gail,A he said as he handed it to Demetri.
Demetri took the sword and gasped as it pulsed to life. It began to glow a bright crimson orange, the straps on the hilt wrapped around his right arm to his shoulder and were tight and burning. He screamed as his eyes widened and he gripped his chest. He coughed up blood out of his mouth as he gasped, his body burning and pulsing with the sword.
The water turned a dark blue and red as a red aura burst from him. The water rose and spiraled around him, hot and glowing. The king smiled and his son was jealous.
AWhy do you want me?@ The sword growled.
An aura forming a black tiger was in front of him. He gasped as his eyes widened, when he saw it. The pulses going through him and the tiger growled as its eyes glowing.
AI WANT TO SAVE SELENE!@ He shouted as water getting hotter and wilder.
The tiger leapt into his body and he gasped as his eyes widened. His wings came out, but were brown, tan, scaly and smooth.
AI will help you, if that is what you want,A the sword answered and everything went back to normal.
Demetri went to his knees and the swords straps went around the hilt. He gasped as huge, black claw marks slashed up his arm. He smirked and stood up.
AGood luck, DemetriA Shin said.
Demetri looked at him and nodded. Shin nodded back and his son left the room.
ADemetri, something=s wrong. It=s the human world, almost all the demons living there are dead!@ Sol shouted as she burst into the Shin=s throne room.
Shin and Demetri looked at Sol and she put the mirror into the drive as a monitor popped up. Demetri and Shin gasped at the sight. The ground had blood on it, as well as the building. The city had been cleared of any life.
AWho did this? Was it Gail!?@ Demetri asked angrily.
Shin gasped as he recognized the sword cut. A jacket was lying on the ground by three dead humans. Demetri looked at Shin=s shocked expression.

AHe gave someone the sword of Armageddon!@ He whispered in shock.
Demetri looked at Sol and she had tears in her eyes. Shin looked at him and Sol. Sol wiped the tears from her eyes as Demetri clenched his sword tightly.
AI=m going to save Selene and kill Gail. You have my word,A Demetri said angrily.
Shin nodded and Demetri disappeared to the human world. Shin looked at Sol and walked toward her. She looked at him, her eyes shaking with realization.
AI know who did this. It was...@ she said.
Shin=s eyes widened at the mention of the name. Sol went to her room to rest and Shin was deciding what to do as he took his sword in hand.
Demetri ran through the city, sword in hand as he scanned the city for Selene or Gail. He rounded a corner and gasped at the sight. There were dead humans and blood all over. What shocked him most wasn=t all the blood and bodies littering the ground but the person standing in the middle of it.
The person had a long sword, gleaming silver and wet with blood. The person wore black, leather pants, a tan belt from the left to right leg going up, and wearing a black bra. Blood was splattered on the person=s body and face.
ANo,A Demetri said in shock as his voice and eyes shook.
He was frozen in place as the person noticed his presence..


Chapter 5

Decisions and power


Demetri gasped as he saw the woman=s face. His sword glowed blue and he trembled at the sight of the woman covered in blood.
ASeY Selene,A he said, his voice and eyes shaking.
The woman=s grip on the sword tightened. Her eyes were lifeless and just a light blue was in her eyes as she looked at him.
ASeleneY. why?@ He asked as he took a step toward her.
The sword at his side growled as he continued to look at her, too shocked to move.

AWatch out!@ The sword shouted at him, wrapping its straps around his arm and blocking Selene=s sword in one movement.
Demetri gasped as sparks flew. She forced her sword down as he held her off grunting.
ASelene, snap out of it!@ Demetri yelled as he forced her back.
She caught herself and struck at him. He grunted as he blocked her attack and she swung again. He got cut across his chest as he screamed and she raised it again, he blocked it.
ASe.... Selene,A he said as he fought the pain.
He got to his feet as she jumped back and her eyes turned back to normal. Gail appeared beside her and Demetri growled at him, as her sword glowed brighter.
@Selene why are you doing this? Why kill these humans, fight with me?!@ He shouted, pleading her to answer.
Her sword disappeared in her hand and the jewel in her hand glowed once. She looked at Demetri and he looked at her sadly.
ASo that I can become strong enough to protect you from the angels,A she said, putting a black jacket on her.
Gail disappeared in black smoke and Demetri stepped toward her. Her eyes were not back to normal and were still hazed over a little, like she had no emotion left in her.
AHE=S USING YOU, DON=T YOU SEE THAT!?@ He shouted angrily, a red aura growing around him.
She turned and started walking towards him. He blocked her attack from above in an instant. She was in the air and he held his sword sideways as she glared at him, electricity went around her.
AI have to get stronger to protect you! SoY DON=T STAND IN MY WAY!@ She shouted, striking him down.
A huge blast erupted and he was sent flying back into a tree. He gripped his side painfully as blood dribbled down his mouth and jaw and coughed some up. He gasped as his eyes widened when she was in front of him and he tried to get away, but was too wounded.
ASelene how could you?@ he whispered as he turned his head away from her, his teeth clenched as his eyes shut.
She knelt down, put her sword away, and put her hand on his gently. He opened his eyes, but didn=t look at her as memories of them flashed through his head. She put her other hand on his cheek and turned his head to face hers, his teeth unclenched. She smiled at him and he didn=t.

He gasped as she leaned toward him as his eyes closed. His eyes widened as she put her mouth on his and kissed him softly. Her white wings came out and then disappeared in a burst of feathers.
ASelene,A he thought and kissed her back.
He moaned a little as her lips brushed against his. She squeezed his hand and he squeezed back, his other hand tangled in her hair. He released his hand from hers and wrapped it around her waist, bringing her body to his as he kissed her passionately. She wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his body to hers more, crushing against his.
She parted from him and stood up as he looked at her sadly. She looked at him sadly and sighed.
ASelene, come back. Don=t let him steal your soul,A he whispered as their fingertips touched lightly.
She shook her head and took out her sword. He gasped and withdrew his hand as he lifted his sword up.
AI can=t," she had tears in her eyes a little. "I won=t, if it=s to save you,A she stuck at him as her eyes went hazy again.
He screamed as it cut into his shoulder and he forced her sword back, gripping his wound. His eyes shut tightly in pain as he gasped in pain several times.
ADon=t interfere in this!@ She whispered in a low and dangerous tone as she knelt toward him.
He tried to grab her hand, but she disappeared. He coughed up blood and stood up shakily. Sol appeared suddenly and walked toward him.
ASelene, I will save you,A he whispered..
Two weeks passed and he came to a city. It was covered with blood and corpses and he gasped as his eyes shook. He prayed, hoped, that it wasn't her doing again as his legs carried him through the streets.
ASelene... not again, please don=t let it be her,A he thought, rushing through the city as he scanned for her.
He turned a corner and ran toward a park. He gasped as he saw Selene by some humans. Her sword was raised and five humans were in front of her, shaking badly in fear. She was covered in blood splatters and was wearing a back bra and black pants.
She swung it down and Demetri blocked her attack, anger and sadness in his eyes. He stood his ground as she bared her sword on his own and glanced behind him.
@Run, go now!@ He shouted angrily at the humans.

Selene forced her sword down and chased after the humans. Demetri gasped and ran after her as she raised her sword.
ASelene!@ He shouted as he tackled her to the ground.
His sword skidded and so did hers as they both dropped on the ground. She glared at him and he pinned down her body as he looked at her.
AGet off of me!@ She shouted angrily as she tried to get away.
She gasped as he glared at her, true anger in his eyes. She had never seen him this angry before and rain started to drip on them both.
AI WON=T! I=M NOT LEAVING YOU LIKE THIS, I WILL SAVE YOU!@ He shouted as he shook with anger.
She glared at him and he glared back as lightning flashed, she smirked.
AI need saving?!" she scoffed as her eyes started to glow little. "You do... I=m doing this for you!@ She shouted.
He was about to argue back, but he gasped as his eyes widened. He looked down as his eyes and breathing shook. She had stabbed him with a dagger in his stomach as blood ran down the glinting metal and on her hand. She pushed him off of her and put her foot on his chest, he took it off, trying to get up.
She walked to her sword, picked it up, and walked back to him, her eyes glowing red. He sat up a little and gripped his wound tightly.
AI told you to stay away from me,A she growled, clutching her sword.
He gasped as she raised her sword. Lightning stuck and he closed his eyes, sighing in defeat. She swung her sword down on him as he opened his eyes and smiled at her.
AI wanted to see you smile
