The Reaper Saga [Book 1-3]

FINDING HIS DESTINY

DARKNESS 

"What's in it?"

"Why do you care?"

"Do you even have a plan?"

"When did I not?"

Everyone had a point in their life when they either gave up or became desperate enough to rip someone's throat out. In my case, it was the latter. I was ready to see Zach in a pool of blood if he didn't answer my question with another question.

"You're testing your luck, Zach. Just answer his questions." Zed trailed off, watching my pacing form. 

"Oh, please! He can't even lift..." Zach's words died down as I waved my hands, forcing Zach to cry out in shock. Shadows lurked from my hands and trapped his throat, making him impossible to breathe.

"Let...me...go." Zach wheezed, bringing his wrist higher. The trinket dangling from his wrist didn't go unnoticed by me. Oh, so he was one of those people, using the souls trapped in the trinket to earn favors.  Let's see how that turns out, I wondered with a grin. 

"Guys stop!" Zed held me back but the shadows held Zach firmly in the wall. Oh, how I missed this. The game, the thrill of the unknown. 

"For God's sake, not again..." Lana cursed as a bright light came from her hands and with a jerk, my shadows went back inside of my body. 

Just when I was starting to like my new allies...

"Calm down, Lex," Zed warned just as Lana started to scold Zach for provoking the madman. I was close, so close to finding her. Nothing and no one was going to stop me.

"Lex, I mean it." Zed reminded me again. 

"I will, only when I get my answers. So anyone going to tell me the plan anytime soon?" I asked, raising my hands in warning. The moment I said that someone opened the front door. To my surprise, the man that emerged from it was none other than someone I knew in the past.

"You." 

The man looked at me with a frown. "I am sorry, who are you?"

"I know you." I walked closer to the man but surprisingly his scent was all long. "Wynker, isn't it? It's been too long, old friend."

Zed looked equally surprised as the name was uttered from my mouth. "Lex? What are you talking about?"

"Don't you know him? The demon who once helped our clan when the third war broke out. Back in the days, you went to get a deal out of the Red clan and someone attacked us in your absence, hello, remember that?"

Zed shook his head. "The same demon you praised for months and I never met? Ah...I think you are mistaken. This is Vermon Mikhail Hernandez, Lana's beloved and a Seeker. He is a direct descendant of Elizabeth, you know, the kid who used to work with you."

"Elizabeth as in...Of course, Elizabeth!" A series of chuckles left my lips. My my, how the time had passed. "I knew I was right! Wynker was always around Elizabeth, saying he was learning things from her. Yeah, definitely learned things with what I'm seeing right now."

"What the fuck was that supposed to mean?" The man, Mikhail as Lana called shouted in anger.

Lana was quietly observing the interaction until I found her nervously look at Mikhail. "You wanted to say something, twin?"

"Mikhail, remember I once told you how a Seeker is born? You asked your mom plenty of times but she never admitted to meet a demon and your father is a human. So what if I mistook the words Hannah once said? Maybe it's possible that only a few people in the bloodline got this gene through Elizabeth? Not just specifically the demon and the witch's child. What if this demon, Wynker, is the reason you are a Seeker?"
