Chapter 10

Deva was also happy she smiled all the way back to the carriage, she was grateful for seeing her parents alive and healthy and also for Slyvian bringing her to see them.

"Thank you.."

She couldn't help but blurt out, Deva pursed her lips waiting for Slyvian to scold her only to hear him mutter "You're welcome.." softly.

Deva smiled this was all she wanted to hear!

"Now let's go home.."

Deva happily got into the carriage after today she started to see Slyvian in a new light, she would call him out for picnic and go on walks by the lakes.

To say Deva had already accept Slyvian as her own.

Slyvian smiled enjoying all the attention he was getting from Deva when Ethan walked in he reeked of blood maybe Alex frowned.

"Is he okay?.."

Deva asked she knew Ethan was just like Slyvian but seeing him covered in blood she couldn't help but ask.

"Slyvian we have to leave..he's here..he's alive.."

Deva frowned confused who was alive, who had come, Deva suddenly had a premonition something bad was going to happen.

Slyvian frowned he didn't expect Damien to still be alive and even attacked Ethan. He glanced at Deva and Ethan and said.."You too go pack your things we're leaving this minute.."

Deva was still a tad bit confused but she obeyed Slyvian and ran to her room to go arrange some necessities.

Meanwhile Slyvian grabbed only one thing which was a key and a book he had carried back when he left Ashford and it was the only thing he would carried now that he was leaving Ravendor.

Slyvian stroked the key, it was left behind by his mother and after all these years he still didn't know the origin of the key and what it could be used to open.

Coming out of their room, Slyvian nodded at Ethan they both had a tacit understanding and thus he knew what he needed to do.

At the front of the caslte sat a man sitting on the wooden throne standing behind him were countless demons and vampires. He had a bloodthirsty smile as the wind blew the cloak he wore from side to side.

"Sly..brother I'm here to see why don't you come out for a while.."

Damien low and deep voice resounded as the entire caslte shook.

"He's here.."

Slyvian mutters calmly, with his sharp eyesight he could see Damien sitting on the throne and the countless army beside him.

"How do we evade, we have been surrounded.."

Sly raised a brow how did she know that they had been surrounded, he turned to look at Deva. "How did you know that.."

Deva smiled this was her special ability, ever since she was young she always had impeccable hearing and she could sense danger.

"It's been like this since I was born, I can hear every breath and footsteps, the steps of human are light but the steps of demons are heavy, I can feel the direction of the wind there should be winged creatures here..."

Deva deduced making Slyvian smile his little rabbit was also smart,since it's like that they definitely couldn't escape quietly they would have to force their way out.

"I'll protect you no matter what..."

Deva smiled and nodded, she wasn't that useless at least she could use the bow and arrow.

"I can fight as well.."

"No..they are not humans you wouldn't be able to hold off on your own.."

Slyvian stated if he knew Deva wasn't safe he wouldn't be able to concentrate and a fight well. So he had to make sure that she was safe at all times.

"All escape routes have been blocked the only way to escape is to charge head on.."

Ethan spoke as he glanced at the pair he had flown around the caslte, Damien had come prepared.

"Take Deva to the tower, give her a set of bow and arrow once you're done come meet me.."

The tower was 6 meters high so they wouldn't noticed that Deva was inside, and until now Slyvian was sure that Damien didn't know of Deva's existence.

Ethan nodded and took Deva to the tower leaving Slyvian alone. The man took a deep breath, clenched his fists and walked out the door.

He had long been itching for bloodshed and Damien had granted his wish.

Damien smiled seeing Slyvian walking towards his direction he smiled even brighter.

"Brother..you've finally come to see me.."

Slyvian looked at Damien but didn't say a word, the man had clearly died how come he was still alive.

Slyvian sense of smell was stronger, he felt Damien smelt different from the way he smelt before he died. Now he smelt of scarlet grass which was a common ingredient used in a witch's potion.

Slyvian looked up at Damien and smiled so the night when his body disappeared from the coffin, he had been taken by the witches.

"You smell different.."

Damien's expression froze as he clenched his fists, why was Slyvian sense of smell so strong, he had noticed he smelt different at first glance.

"I'm trying a new perfume brother..do you like it.."

Slyvian smiled the only smell he would love to wear right now was the scent of blood.

"It reeks of witches.."

Slyvian said calmly, Damien aura and way of speaking was also different. Slyvian suddenly thought of something.

Clone? It could be that it was a witch acting to be Damien, and he would know because Damien had never called him brother even until the day he died.

"You have two choice witch, tell me where the real Damien is or die on the spot.."

The witch was no fool, she knew Slyvian had already seen through her disguised and prepared to drink a potion.

However Slyvian hand grabbed her hand and threw her on the ground, the potion fell on the floor and dissipated into thin air.

"No.."

"Yes.."

After taking such a powerful impact her disguised had shattered and she was back to her normal self.

It was Slyvian turn to sit on the wooden throne, he sat looking like a true king.

"My fellows brother and sister you all have been deceived, this is not your prince she's a fake.."

The witch gulped seeing the pairs of heads that slowly turned to her direction, she knew she would not leave this place alive.

"And what do we do to fakes.."

Slyvian smiled at the witch as his red orbs sparkled, tsk just when he thought he might finally have some bloodshed.

"We kill them!.."

"We rip them apart limb to limb!.."

"We drink their blood and eat their flesh!.."

"We burn them with fire so that they may never reincarnate!.."

Slyvian smiled what wonderful way to kill someone, he liked their ideas very much.

"Witch tell me where the real Damien is and I might spare your life.."

The witch bit her lips and compromised she valued her life more that anything.."He's with the lady of the west.."

Slyvian smiled the lady of the west huh? He would meet her very soon he was sure of it.

"Brothers and sisters do as you see fit to this witch don't let her escape.."

The witch eyes widened didn't he say he would spare her life, her heart raced when she saw them begin to corner her.

"I thought you said you will spare my life.."

Slyvian chuckled and stood up, walking towards the witch, the demons and vampires immediately gave room for him to pass.

"And I did but do you think they will spare you after all you've deceived them.."

Slyvian words made them even angrier the ones closest to her couldn't wait to tear her apart.

"Finish her.."

Slyvian said coldly as he flew to the tower, leaving them to do as they please.

"No.."

"Spare my life i still want to live.."
