House of Night

Chapter 13. Darkness Finds Us

~ Caspian POV~

After giving my blood to Raven it didn't take long for Logan to come in and when he saw my wrist, he was less from calm. He dragged me out and took me to Lora, walking through the halls I was pulled by Nikki. I told her to stay with Raven until I got back. Now here I am in Lora's offices sitting in a chair with Lora thinking on what to do. She was thinking on what to do, as for Logan he was trying not to yell at me for giving my blood to Raven. I was only thinking of her, wondering how she was doing. Lora cleared her throat.

"Caspian, I feel that what you did was completely foolish. You could have killed yourself, while saving her. I have decided your punishment and that is you will not have any contact with her." Lora said that and even Logan was shocked. When two people Imprint it can become painful if they are not together at all. It slowly kills them. Is Lora trying to kill us? That's when it hit me, she might be trying to kill Raven. Why would she be trying to do that? Could Lora be the darkness that takes away the moon light in Raven's dream? I have to do something now. "Do you want to say something about it Logan?" She asked him, I looked over not even noticing that he was tensed up.

"Priestess I understand that them Imprinting is against the rules but separation can kill them both. Is that the right punishment?" He was questioning her. Good, maybe he is seeing the truth. Lora smiled that made my stomach turn.

"Yes of course, they must be punished for doing that act. Logan please take Caspian to his room and lock him there. I will go to Raven and take her to a room. Please do as I say." She said standing up, I almost attacked her if Logan hadn't grabbed a hold and held me down.

"You are the darkness." I said to her, she frowned.

"What do you mean by that? What darkness?" She asked me, I can see that sickening smiled. She walked away, going to my Queen. I struggled against Logan, he was trying his best to hold me down but we both stopped when a scream pierced our ears. "That's Raven. Please let me go! She needs me!! Please Logan!!!!" I shouted at him, his eyes widened. Tears were running down my cheeks. "Please let me go to my Queen before I loss her forever." I begged him but he wasn't releasing me, I heard another scream then nothing at all. I couldn't feel her either. I stopped moving as tears ran down my cheeks and hitting the ground, Logan leaned down.

"What darkness?" He whispered.

"Raven said that darkness is going to kill the moons light. Kill her goddess and Nyx. Please stop Lora, she has to be the darkness, please help me defeat her for the sake of the woman I love." I said, his hands slowly let go of me. I sat up with tears running down my face.

"If Lora is this darkness, there's nothing we can do. She's to strong and I know that you can feel it, Raven is gone." He said kneeling down next to me, I clenched my fists.

"No she's not gone. I may not be able to feel her now but I know that he wont let her die. So she's alive and safe, so let's go and prepare for Raven to come back." I said, he wanted to question me but he knew that he didn't need to say anything.

"Alright let's get ready but I have to make it look like I'm imprisoning you." He said, I nodded my head and looked out the window. Wait for me, my Queen.

~Raven POV~

Where am I? Where is the pain from my body? I tried to open my eyes but there seemed to be something over them. I pulled it off and opened my eyes, I was in a room or a cave. I looked around to find my demon. He was sitting with his back to me, he was slumped over. I slowly sat up but stopped mid-way when the pain came. I laid back down, looking down at my body. There was this lotion stuff on my runes, cooling them down.

"It will help with the pain." Demon said looking over his shoulder. His eyes were red, has he been crying? Was it him I saw walking towards me? "I brought you here to keep the darkness from killing you." He said, I smiled.

"Strange that you would do that since you'll get my soul in the end." I said without thinking, he stood up but didn't look at me.

"I don't want your soul anymore." He said, my eyes widened. "You don't deserve it, not anymore." He said before turning his back, he had tears running down his eyes. "When this is over I don't know what to do." He said looked down, I slowly got up and moved toward him. I hugged him tight.

"When this is done, you can do whatever you wish for. Stay or leave, it's all up to you." I said, he hugged me back.

"I shall protect you always my little bird." He whispered before everything went dark and I was back on the school grounds. He let go and stood next to me, we both could feel it. The darkness was getting stronger and the final fight would soon begin. "I will be with you." He said before disappearing. I looked at the school, it knows I'm here. Well let's begin.
