The King Of Darkness (on hold)

Chapter 18- the truth

Hey all! Sorry for my lack of updates, I have been super busy and have had writers block. I know, annoying. I really want to finish this story so I'm trying!

I know I haven't updated in literally forever, but count this as me trying.

enjoy this chapter!

The sky was slowly turning darker and darker each day, my powers slowly becoming out of hand. My extreme anger issues at times causing fires that are almost impossible to disperse. Only one thing has been able to calm me down, which is Malakai. Although he makes me extremely angry, he can easily make my mood change into a happy state. Bryn and Tim are doing their best to keep clear from me for now and Malakai has made strict orders that no one is to disturb me or punishments will arise. Im yet to call my parents and ask them questions, but I've been becoming ill as well- sometimes waking up in extreme sweats.

Twice a day, every day I am forced to undergo extreme trainings. Still, I feel as if I am dying and I will soon die because of how hard the trainings are becoming. I beg Malakai to let me have a break, but he won't allow it. Insisting that I am a "weak b*tch" which is true, but I know he is attempting to make me laugh by insulting me. Such a great way to charm your girl.

"Lena, you need to call your parents soon. The sooner we know every little detail about you, the better. Your parents are clearly hiding a lot, most likely to protect you I would assume," he shrugs. I look to him, thinking only of how stupid he is and he is 800 years old and still can't interpret shit. He shrugs when he sees the face im giving him and holds his hands up in a defensive position.

"As you can clearly tell, I have been sick lately with very hot heat flashes that makes me feel as if I am going to be set on fire. So between that, I haven't really thought of it okay!" My response is thick with sarcasm, to which he raises his eyebrows with a face of 'you keep speaking to me like that and I will beat your ass' but obviously not in the bad way..

He moves closer to the bed I have been relying on to make me feel better and stares down at me with dark eyes, "your attitude is not going to get you anywhere love. Other people may put up with your moodiness, but I certainly will not. I am under an immense amount of pressure, trying to train people and scope areas and all that sh*t. I have been nothing but supportive and caring, yet you continue to disobey me. I have not been an asshole, so dont treat me like I am one."

Malakai's points are fair and understandable. I am clearly being irrational and saying stupid shit that I honestly dont mean.I sigh and grab his hand, pulling him down close to me. I sit up and move closer to his face to kiss him which he responds immediately. "I'm sorry, you have been so supportive towards me and I shouldn't be treating you the way I have been," he grabs onto my thighs and pulls me close, making a humming noise.

"You know I would forgive you straight away. Now, you need to call your parents. Right now would really be preferred, okay?" He says with raised eyebrows.

I sigh and nod in agreement and grab out my phone, completely agreeing with Malakai. It's time I knew the truth once and for all. I tap my mothers contact and press the call button. The sound of ringing echoes through my ears and I swallow nervously. Will she tell me the whole truth?

"Hello?" She answers the phone.

"Mum," I gulp and wait for a moment. Mal gives me a look, ushering for me to continue. I think he wants to know what's wrong with me more than I do. If it were up to me, I'd just run away forever.

"Yes Lena? What's wrong?" She questions.

"What am I? Why is everything happening to me? Why won't you tell me anything about myself? I deserve to know. It's getting tiring with all these things occurring to my body and I have absolutely no answers whatsoever!" I exclaim in annoyance.

She remains silent on the other line, thinking of what to say. She would have had to know I would begin asking questions at some point in my life. She and my father are both keeping secrets about my body and myself when I deserve to know the truth.

"I'm coming over," with that she hangs up the phone. I frown and look at Malakai who sighs in distress. He grabs my hand and leads us to the house. On our walk there, the sky becomes darker as my mood becomes dimmer. I look to my left, then notice her. The girl who almost killed me. Rage surges through me and all I can think about is her heart exploding out of her chest.

"What the f*ck?" Mal curses and turns to the direction where the girl was. I stop dead in my tracks with widened eyes. There she lays, her body blue and her heart laying beside her. Did I do that? What the hell? What just happened? Did I do that? Surely not. It was all just simple thoughts. I didn't do anything.

"Malakai," I whisper. He stops and looks at me, concerned. My hands tremble and my lips shake as I continue questioning myself. "I-I. That was the girl who tried killing me and I just thought of her heart getting ripped out of her chest and it happened. What's happening to me? What's wrong with me Malakai?" I cry feeling suddenly guilty.

Falling to the ground, I comfort myself by wrapping my arms around my knees as he orders someone to clean up the mess. He sits beside me and comforts me, saying nothing but kind words despite the fact i essentially just murdered someone with my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, she completely deserved it. How do I feel guilty when she tried killing me in the first place?

"Lena?" Mums voice rings in my ears. I look up, the tears streaming down my face. She rushes to me and hugs me tightly.

"If you had of told me the truth about me none of this would have happened!" I scream at her. She stands up in shock. Malakai helps me stand and keeps his arm around me to support me. This is the first time I have killed someone. And I did it with my thoughts.

"How about we go somewhere more private?" Mal offers.

My mother nods in agreement and he leads us to his office where soundproof walls are. He sits me down in his big chair as I tremble with the thought of what I just did. How did I do that?

"Lena," she whispers. "I'm sorry, I was trying to protect you. There's a death wish out for you," she continues.

"Just tell me. What am I? What is wrong with me?" I cry. My mother takes a seat in front of me whilst Malakai stands behind me, comforting me somehow. His presence comforts me, it makes me feel content.

"Your father years ago hired the lead witch. He asked her to conceal the person you are, your powers and everything Catalena-Kynthia. She agreed with a warning that when the time comes, your powers will emerge when the kings form an alliance. Your powers will emerge with a purpose of uniting all. We concealed them for as long as we could, knowing if anyone knew you would be in immediate danger. You're the goddess Lena. You're not just some human. We found out with a dream. An Angel appeared to us, telling us you were the chosen one. We were assured your life would be eternal and you could live forever. It was then revealed the only way you could be killed is with the blade of Kasper. In order to make the blade magical, the powers of all the goddesses need to be transferred to it by killing them with it. They were all killed, which is why your powers have been awakened. You can bring them back. With the blade of Kasper. They're searching for you, which is why it is so important you conceal your powers. You need to continue your training, you will know when you're ready."

I blink at her, "you only just told me the obvious?" I screech at her.

"You'll need me Lena, they're coming."
