The Hammingtons A Cursed Family

Chapter 13

Ivan's POV

Ethan walked out my room but I was dwelling on what he just said
The trauma he must have past through in order to make himself strong like he is now and I feel so responsible for everything
Sophie had left me to take care of Ethan but I couldn't even carry out that one simple task
I was blinded by my own grief and I left him to suffer alone

I sighed as I stared into the blank space
"I am sorry Sophie, I am so sorry" I said aloud

............
"......whenever I get really angry, I go into a dark side of myself and I hurt anyone by my side, that's why I'm always so afraid Ivan, I'm afraid one day I'll wake up to see Ethan dead after I might have killed him while I was out of control" Sophie said
"That's why I spent days and night creating those enchanted objects for myself, cause I'd rather hurt myself than hurt my brother"
"It gives me scars but at least I'm able to keep those around me safe"

Then we were suddenly at The Guardian's Cemetery
"You know I'm not going back Ivan, I feel like I have to be here, my mind tells me I have a part to play in this fight" Sophie said "Don't worry, I'll be fine, I promised to get Ethan back from school today after all and I've never broken any of my promises to him"

"I love you Ivan, I always have and always will" she said as Dianna pushed her into the Hell Gates

"No!!!" I screamed as I jerked up from my sleep
.........

Layla knocked on my door and peeped in
"Are you okay? I heard your voice from outside" she said and I cleaned off the beads of sweat on my forehead

"I'm fine" I said and she looked at me

"You had a nightmare about her again didn't you?" she asked as she walked in
"If you want I could make some herbal tonic for you to block the nightmare out whenever you sleep" Layla suggested and I shook my head

"No, I need the nightmares so I do not forget my purpose and what I must do" I said as I stood up

"Ivan...."

"Is Gia not back yet?" I asked and she nodded

"She isn't and the boundary containing Dianna is getting weaker as the time passes, though Ethan and I could cast a spell and strengthen it again, we'll need to come up with a permanent solution soon

"You said you need her heart to stop beating before you can get the demon out?" I asked and she nodded
"So what if I try and pull out her heart?"

"As hard as that will be, even if you succeed, she'll only be without a heart for a few seconds before her heart grows back and that is not enough time for me to expell the demon out of her" Layla said and I sighed

What should we do then? What can we do?
The door to my room suddenly opened and Ethan peeped in
"Gia is back" he said and Layla and I followed him back to the living room

Indeed she was back but her face was smeared with blood
She was obviously injured and had just healed

"Who did you have a fight with?" I asked

"I got this" she said as she brought out a syringe and a vial containing what looked like a liquid injection and ignoring my question

"What is that?" Layla asked

"It is called a..... anyway I've forgotten the name but it is apparently supposed stop the heart of who ever it is injected in for a few minutes, there's another vial that is supposed to be injected after this to get the heart to start beating again else the person will really die but Dianna is immortal so she'll probably heal on her own without the second injection" she said
"But before I give this to you, you have to explain to me what you plan on doing after Dianna is free of the demon"

I stared at Gia for a moment and I sighed

"I am going to let her go" I said

"What?!!" Ethan and Gia exclaimed

"You promised to make her suffer!!" Ethan said

"Yes I did and I will but I won't be able to do that till I get Dianna's baby blood and complete the immortal killing spell" I said

"And how does letting her go just like that get you her baby's blood?" Gia asked

"I'm not letting her go just like that Gia!" I said and turned to Layla
"Now that Dianna is still here, is there any spell you could cast that will allow us know where she is at all time?"

"Umm, I could try but I'll need something that belongs to her" Layla said

"Like her blood?" Ethan asked

"Her blood is polluted by the demon so it won't be suitable" Layla said and looked at me
"Will it be possible for me to get her hair? Just a strand of her hair" she asked

"Will you be able to carry out the spell with that?" I asked and she nodded
"Then get me inside that boundary with her"

"What?!! Thats dangerous!!" Gia exclaimed

"What? Do you care about me now sister?" I asked and she kept quiet

"I could lift the boundary spell for a second so you can get it and lift it again when you are ready to step out" Layla said

"I can help you with the spell" Ethan said and Layla nodded

I stood in front of the circle created by the boundary staring at Dianna who was also just staring at me
Layla and Ethan had started to chant their spell and immediately they shouted "Now!" I quickly jumped inside the circle and the boundary was back up again

"Hey possessed Dianna, mind giving me a strand of your hair?" I asked but her whole body immediately started flaming up
"I guess asking politely won't do it then" I said as I made to yank her hair but she caught my hand and threw me towards the boundary
I was bounced back to the circle by the boundary and I fell on the floor

"Fine, let's do it your way then" I said as I grabbed her leg and pulled it as I stood up
She fell on the floor and I removed my glove and punched her face repeated till I was able to get some strands of her hair with my other hand

"You can let me out anytime now!" I yelled and Dianna suddenly flared up grabbing my throat and lifting me up from the ground
She plunged her flaming hand into my chest and I felt her hand encircle my heart

"Now Ivan!" Layla yelled
"Get out of their now!!" I heard Gia's yell too

I mustered all the strength I could and I pulled Dianna's hand out of my chest and along with her hand, my heart was pulled out too and everything went blank.....
