Whisper

Twenty-Nine

  "Senera, what's wrong?" Lucan asks.

I slowly move away from him, staring into his brown eyes. The eyes I once thought were bright and beautiful have changed to dark and dangerous. The same eyes that can also transform into those demonic eyes I have been seeing in my dreams. The iris, bright, light blue that is almost white, the rim of the iris is black, creating a black ring. The sclera navy blue with black veins. I now see Lucan as what he truly is. A demon.

I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it. The first man I have trusted ever since I got to Havenwood is the very person I shouldn't be trusting. The one who got me to find out that I am a Whisperer. The one who led me to the others, the Night Watchers. All this time, I have been trying to figure out who the demon that wants to end the world is when this whole time, it has been him. The one who had help me discover my destiny and the war. How could it be him? It can't be him.

But it is him. My memories, the knife, the death, it is all too real to deny. It's the reason why he wiped my memory because he didn't want me to remember, he didn't want me to know that he is the one responsible for all this. He is the very thing that I should have been running away from. I stare at Lucan's confused expression. He has manipulated me the whole time I have been with him

It has all been a lie. I couldn't determine what I have learnt in the past two months is true or all a lie as well. But it makes sense. Draven told me to not trust the people who I trust, and that's him. Lucan is the Draguis. "Senera, what happened?" he asks. I shake my head, trying to get rid of his comforting voice. He's not the man I thought he was. He's worse, he's the enemy. I stand up, my feet slowly backing away.

"Senera, what are you doing? Stop," Lucan says, suddenly standing. I didn't want to listen to him.

He takes a step towards me and I take a step back. I needed to stay away from him, I need to be as far away as possible from him.

"Senera, stop," his becomes more commanding. I ignore him. I take a step back but to find I am at the edge of the cliff. I feel Lucan grab onto my arm preventing me from falling. He pulls me in closer to him and I immediately push him away.

"Stay away from me!" I cry. I keep my eyes on him, not trusting him enough to turn my back on.

Lucan frowns, "What is going on with you?" he asks.

"You lied to me," I say.

Lucan's confusion turns into shock. "What? I didn't lie to you," he says softly.

I growl, "You knew the whole time. When I told you that I was killed to become a Night Watcher, you didn't even react. You knew the whole time that I was killed when you knew that I had to experience a natural death to become a night watcher."

His body tenses. "I don't know what you're talking about." I wish he was telling the truth.

"Stop lying!" I yell. "You're... you're it. You're the one that is causing all of this," I point at him accusingly.

Lucan pauses. I can see the shock in his eyes. He lied to all of us. He lied to me, Melissa, Jaxon and even Isaac. It makes sense. My first meeting with Lucan, seeing his dark aura... I should've known he wasn't good. The fact that he hates people and the reason why Reyna was always running away from him. It's because he is the demon that wants to open the Gates of Hell. He is the Draguis.

"Senera, calm down. I'll explain everything," Lucan says.

I laugh, "Calm down? Are you kidding me? You're the Draguis! You plan on sucking out our powers and open the gates of hell!" I state. "How do you expect me to calm down?"
