"Paris," I breathed again, taking in his name like taking oxygen in my lungs. Even more important. Charm is silent now, waiting for the connection between her and Promiscuity to be restored.

"They're not connected yet," he told me. I gave him a nod.

"Do you.. want to connect them ?" I asked hesitantly. I knew what happened the last time and the only time they lost connection. I was in unbearable pain for weeks, I had no strength at all. I reckon that's what happened to Paris too.

"Is that even a question, love?" Paris asked me. We have to "connect" if we want our demons to reconnect. We looked at each other and just knew we needed another fix. I leaned up and his lips met mine. Our kiss wasn't as hungry as the one before, it was more.. consuming. He consumed almost every part of me, and through the open doors of our lips I can feel Charm screaming to Promiscuity, and Promiscuity shouted words of love to her.

Aeron cleared his throat. "Excuse me.. twin love birds. But Lucien will be here soon," he announced. My heart sank. Lucien ? My last encounter with him was years ago.

"But why ?" I asked. I thought about the fortress in Budapest, and I wasn't eager to come back. The memories was still haunting my life. I felt a chill climb my back, and I knew Aeron was speaking the truth. Charm detected no lie in his words.

I felt a slight whoosh of wind, and before I can see it I felt someone standing behind me. There's no one who's presence are more domineering than Lucien. And from the heaviness of the aura around me, Lucien was definitely behind me now. I turned on my back to see him, standing strong. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I'm in Prague. Paris and Aeron are standing on my left. Lucien standing on my right. But still I bravely meet Lucien's eyes.

"Hello," I said. Lucien did not say anything back. I was afraid. Lucien technically was my boss. Is my boss.

"We're taking you back," Lucien said with no preamble, a final tone to his voice. Once, I wouldn't dare question him. But once, I was a different person.

"I am not coming back. Not to Budapest, Lucien," I talked back almost immediately, having found strength from Paris.

"That is your home. We are your family," Lucien said, carefully approaching me. He knew what Charm can do. Harpies had nothing compared to my Charm. As I thought that, my she-demon purred proudly in the back of my mind. But she was satisfied, and happy. That second I knew she couldn't unleash at Lucien.

I knew what was coming before I can see it. One second I'm stepping on the crosswalk in Prague, standing in the middle of the cold blowing Prague wind, another second I'm invisible through a time warp. I closed my eyes for literally a second, and then I felt a ground underneath me. I opened my eyes, and my heart broke at seeing the familiar walls, the endearing marble floor and everything else. Nothing had changed. It's like they kept everything exactly the same for me.

I was distracted by my surroundings that I completely didn't notice I was alone. Lucien was gone. But my feet knew where I was going before my brain registered it. I knew I was walking to my family. But I was also walking to my inevitable doom.

I stopped walking when I felt an open door beside me. I behold myself to see what's inside, and turned my body to it. Tears immediately stream down my cheeks when I saw the figures standing there.

There was Lucien, standing beside a blonde. I heard he had mated with Anya, a minor goddess of Anarchy. Then Maddox, with another blonde. She was a Hunter, but turned out to be the Ear. Reyes besides another blonde, the Eye artefact. Sabin with another blonde, Gwendolyn Skyhawk the harpy. What is up with these men and blondes ?
