Venator : Devil's Moon

The Awakening II

"But you were sealed. The Deathstones and I sealed you sixty years ago," I said. There was no way she could escape the seal for it was powered by the Deathstones, a powerful society which came into being when some Deathstars and Livestones revolted against the war between their leaders. This seal also drained a lot of my power. There's no way Devil's Moon could have escaped it. Maybe this was just another bluff of the twisted queen of bluffs."Devil's Moon is sealed within that sculpture," I said firmly.

"True. Most of me is sealed in there, but not the whole of me. Sixty years ago, when you were sealing me, a part of me barely escaped," she said as she walked toward me.

"One by one, the Deathstones stood in front of me, and did their best to keep me caught, while you were creating the seal. But the youngest member of the group didn't seem too practised. It was easy to overwhelm the child prodigy Clara Livestone, and to destroy her soul. Thus she turned into a vessel, my vessel. It did cost me some time, but at least I was free," she said.

"No, you cannot be the Devil's Moon. I know you. You look tough, but you're kind at heart. You're not evil," Sebastian said. He'd apparently skipped the current conversation.

"Open your eyes, Sebastian. You really think your uncle would bring chaos to your family all by himself?"
She said, walking toward him.

Sebastian looked at her, confused.

"It was me, Sebastian, it was me all along. Delroy had fallen for me, so blind in love, and I simply used him. Being the leader of Deathstars, I needed the blood of Deathstars to free myself from this sculpture, and your father didn't believe me. In fact, he was plotting against me, so that he'd get the throne. I had to end him," she said with no remorse on her face.

A tear trickled down Sebastian's cheek, and a fire began to blaze within him.

"You killed your own kin?" Laura said, horrified.

"Oh no, I didn't even touch anyone. All I had to was to ask Delroy nicely, and my favourite student, right Sebastian?"

"You said those men were traitors!" Sebastian yelled, remembering the faces of all men he had killed. None of them were guilty, and yet he murdered all of them. Somewhere in his mind he'd also felt immense pride about it. But now all there was was just rage.

"They were the Merigrimmian Deathstars, your father's followers, a traitor's followers. Obviously they were traitors too," she said.

"I swear I'm going to kill you," Sebastian said as he clenched his fists. A mad rage shone in his eyes

Me too. I said to myself. I had to loosen these ropes. I couldn't stay bound at such dangerous times, before such a heartless enemy.

Clara put a finger on Sebastian's lips, and whispered shh. She then lifted her finger, and placed it on the tip of his nose. From there she slid her finger along his nose, and forehead, until she reached his hair. Then she grabbed his hair, pulled him up, and ducked down so that her mouth was only an inch from his ear.

"Join me, Sebastian. I'll make you feel what power is," Clara said, and seductively, she slid her lips against his cheek, and placed her lips on his.

"I've wanted you since so long," she sighed before biting his lower lip.

"Stop it!" Sebastian shouted, his blood boiling with rage.

Clara stepped back. She looked slightly disappointed.

"You had one chance, Sebastian. One chance, and you ruined it. You could've had all the power, you could've had me. But now you'll only have tragedy and death," she said.
