Luna Rising

EIGHTEEN

"It's nice to meet you...Child of Prophecy." The demon smile was so menacing and taunting I got a slight chill.

"Who are you?" I snarl.

"I'm Illim, and I'm one of Lord Demir's trusted servants."

"Why are you here?" It seems her snake speech impediment is gone.

Illim smile. "To kill you, of course. But also pick up a package for Lord Demir" She says it so boldly, and giggling it makes me angrier.

"Package? What Package?" Before I could ask again, I realized that there was one thing she came for...Merkon.

"Of course, I couldn't do it myself. I needed help."

"Are you talking about Alvin and Leah?" I shift my eyes on Leah and Alvin, who don't show any emotions with her innocent expression.

"They were following orders. Those two will not be of use to me anymore after I'm done here."

"So, you shapeshifter yourself into me and then blamed me for the murder."

"I was waiting for you to be condemned but these fools," Illim look over at the Elders. "They were taking too long talking with emotions and memories. I couldn't take it. It's making me sick. So why not I go to plan B."

Just then, Queen Shani and King Allistar tag team as they launch towards the demon. If two powerful beings can handle one demon, then it wouldn't be a problem...or so I thought.

Illim burst out her power with a hand movement as it overpowered two Elders. Everyone in the room starts to leave the hall and not get involved in a massive battle.

The demon chuckled as she turned around, facing the pursuers. "Who would have thought that eating a vampire's heart is not only good but gives me great power."

"What?!" Allistar grits his teeth as his fangs are shown. Then his magic starts to flow.

Illim twirls her fingers as a body drops to the floor from think air. "Recognize him?"

The Vampire King looks at the lifeless body as I watch his face turn furious. Judging by the pale skin complexion and his heart carved out, it tells me this vampire was her first victim.

"You know vampires are very seductive creatures, and they can easily be infatuated by the beauty that they couldn't resist." Illim kicked the dead vampire towards Allistar's feet. "Once I have him in my heart, I'm already made my way through."

"You evil, vicious demon bitch!" Allistar had lost it and charged again. He went full throttle and attacked the demon as much as he could.

"Is that all you got," Illim provoked him. "I thought the great Vampire King is powerful enough to take me down, but I guess the Elders of the Brotherhood has grown weak over the decades."

"Shut up!" That when Vanessa joins her husband in the fight with Illim.

The fight got pretty intense to the point both great vampires got exhausted. Sounds of clashing echos in the hall. The Vampire King and Queen both stop to catch their breath.

"Tired already?" Illim asked; she had no exhaustion on her face, and it was like the fight with two high-level vampires was nothing.

"This demon is about to get some ass whopping," Bisera let out a high pitch cry and flew towards Illim. She shifts into her standard size and starts to do kung fu moves fighting hand to hand combat with the demon.

It surprises me that the Elders are taking action, trying to take down the demon. Now the Ragnar and Vernon are involved, helping out.

I peer to Leah, who has stayed on the sideline throughout this fight between the Elders and Illim. She suddenly backs away with Alvin beside her, trying to avoid the commotion. She's going to leave without having to face punishment that she had collided with the demon. I won't allow them to escape.
