Chapter 22

A/N




OK everybody we are nearing the final chapters of Hidden in the shadows. I want you guy to know even if it wasn't that popular of a book, I loved writing for you. I loved your supporting comments and concerns.




----------------------------------------------




I was surrounded. There was no way I could get out of here unscathed, or missing a limb.




" I would never hand anything over to you " I shouted at him, why would he even want my undeveloped powers.




" very well " he snapped his fingers and the two possessed demons, leaped out at me. I jumped back far enough on ovoid the first attack. I backed up into the Kelpie's legs, he held me down with such force. It felt like a horse standing on my shoulder, slowly pushing me into the earth.




The demons crawled on hands and knees over to my legs, then turned back to get the signal from Sid. He bargained one last time




" you sure you don't want to hand it over? "




" why would you want my powers they have't even manifesed? " I cried under the Kelpie's weight, the sound of my shoulders popping made me cringe. The kelpie let his weight up just a little after he heard the popping.




" because I will be able to manipulate them, making them stronger than they will become " he explained




Pure greed.




I squirmed trying to break free of the Kelpie's grasp, it didn't work and he pushed me down again with the same force as last time.




" so what's it going to be? " he asked for the final time.




" never! " I shouted again




" fine. Go ahead my dolls " he commanded the possessed demons, to do as they please.




I remember looking into their eyes and seeing, not even a faint glimmer of hope. Elaine dug straight into my right leg with her sharp teeth. She pulled out a large chunk and returned to pull out another, I wailed in horror and pain.




Simon crept up to my stomach and took a chunk from there, my eyes filled with tears they wouldn't stop falling. Every time they took another chunk of my flesh it would grow back and they would repeat.




I looked up at the Kelpie who was just looking back down at me, the same look in his eyes, no hope.




I muttered " I'm sorry " before setting a curse on them




" Ignis ignis ignem igni! " I repeated twice before it took effect. Everyone in a five foot radius caught on fire, except for Sid who used his black magic to protect himself.




The Kelpie let go, trying to shake off the flames. The demons turned into ashes, with Sid standing there disappointed. I jumped up trying to get away, but my wounds only scared over and became sore. I only made it a few paces before falling right back down again clutching my body in agony.
