The Cursed Human

Nothing.

The shock was too great; my mind was running wild, my thoughts were scattered all over the place, my emotions were undescribable and yet I felt nothing.

My mind processed her words, but my heart, my heart was in it’s own dilemma. But then again I felt warm and soft inside. I wanted to cling onto that feeling but then reality knocked harshly on the door.

I was going to die.

“I-I don’t-”

“Oh come on! Don’t tell me you didn’t knew, don’t give me that look Draven,” I watched as she threw her hands in air and groaned in frustration, but again I shut her out. I wanted to endure this feeling, this motherly feeling…. for the last time.

“She’s pregnant and I can very well hear the heartbeats, then why can’t you!”

Heartbeats?

Like magnet my eyes immediately rushed towards him and for the very first time sentiments, emotions reflected into his blue eyes. Those blue eyes, without any idea, I was falling for them, I wanted to see my shadow reflecting in them. I somewhere deep down, inside my heart, wanted to see love in them… for me.

For once.

I had seen love in them but not for me.

“But no problem, I’ve got everything sorted. I’ll kill her… myself.” I was no longer scared, probably this was what I wanted all along. But I was too scared to admit.

“Like hell, you’ll!” My eyes followed the loud voice as four frames came into view as my blurry vision cleared with haziness of sadness.

“I remember, I remember everything…” It was Angelina, her wound on her neck was nowhere in sight. But the fire in her eyes was something I had never seen.

She fumed as she walked towards Melissa as everyone looked astonished at her.

“YOU, YOU betrayed us!” She pointed her finger at her as Melissa rolled her eyes.

“You still alive? Oh! How I wished you were dead,” Melissa’s words seemed to confuse us more and more. But no one said anything.

Angelina immediately turned towards Lucifer who was staring at me. Why? It wasn’t like he cared for me. I was his puppet, dancing with snap of his fingers.

“She killed herself! She was the one who killed all those witches! I saw it myself but then she played her nasty game… she compelled me!” Angry, hot tears flowed down her face as she screamed and Lucifer blinked his eyes before setting them on Melissa.

Melissa rolled her eyes before leaving a stressed sigh.

“I had to do that! It was not like I had any choice left, I was alive for five hundred years and nature wanted balance so I sacrificed another five hundred years, resting in ashes, pouring my powers in this piece of pendant… but now that I’m back…. I’ll make sure I send you to hell!” Melissa gritted as she fisted her hands and strode towards Angelina. But before she could touch her, lucifer pulled Angelina behind him.

“You’re not touching her!” He growled. At least he cared for someone other than himself. I glanced at my left as I saw Elijah’s drained self laying on the ground with eyes open but without moving. He was alive but he looked lifeless.

“Stay away from her!” Draven sped towards them as he pushed Melissa behind himself as he glared at Lucifer.

“No, no, no! This wasn’t how it was supposed to be! We were meant to be together, Luc…” She sighed as she removed Draven’s arm that was wrapped around her and stared into Lucifer’s eyes and leaned in before putting her hand on his cheek.

My heart clenched with uneasiness.

“I love you, Luc…” She muttered and tears flowed down my face like a waterfall. I never knew, breaking of heart felt this much painful.

“I need truth, Melissa..” He said as his eyes glowed red. Melissa sighed as she moved away before ripping the pendant fom her neck.

“Love-”

“He needs truth, Draven and I am going to give him truth that he deserved…” She kept looking at him as she threw her pendant on the ground, under her feet. Her body moved, her eyes closed as she raised her arms at her sides, palms open and lifted them. And I looked startled as black fire rose around her. Her aura took over the power, staining it red.

It looked like she was ready to ravage everything, she wanted her powers to flare up.

And I gasped as she opened her eyes, the pupils of her eyes were as dark as her hairs, raven, pitch black.

“Your ancestors made mistake and you all will pay for it! But..” She trailed as shadows surrounded her and her power raged.

“Stop this bullshit!” Lucifer snarled as he pushed Angelina behind him away from Melissa. I backed away as flames of her black fire tickled my skin.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lucifer’s muscles flexed as he sped towards her. His canines elongated and Clara descended.

She laughed a cruel laugh as fire flames rose high. She shoved her hands forward as black and red flames races towards me.

I screamed as flames burned my skin.

“STOP IT!” I heard his raged and furious voice as he sped towards her but she raised her another hand and send him flying backwards.

Her powers were uncontrollable. She didn’t wanted to be controlled.

“Why are you doing this?!” I screamed as flames caught my feet. Draven’s and Victoria’s panicked shouts were all around and in between them I heard another very familiar voice of Damon.

“Why am I doing this?! Hahaha…. you’ve no idea what I’ve been through! I watched my mother die! I am not what I look like… I’m far worse..” With this heard another scream that left Damon’s mouth as he landed share against the wall with blood all around him.

“MELISSA!” Lucifer growled as he tackled her body onto the ground before slamming her hard against the wall.

“QUIT IT!” He growled as she grinned at him. She seemed mad, insane and her sanity was going to take us all down. I once again found myself surrounded by flames but this time these flames were uncontrollable. My eyes widened as I realised that Elijah was entrapped with me too.

“You want to know why I’m doing this? Huh? THEN LISTEN!” she shouted as she rolled over and slammed his body against the wall.

“I FUCKING despise shape sifters! Hybrids specifically but my selfish heart fell for you harder than I could’ve imagined, like Endor fell for my mother! His love ruined us witches, he was one manipulative bastard who wanted her all for himself though she had two daughters!”

Everything was falling in place piece by piece. Everything written in those books were half truth.

“Melissa, my love, stop this madness, we can talk this out like adults!” Draven should as he was landed against the ceiling with an unknown force. Everything seemed to be her weapon, as wind blew and fire rose higher. I was again entrapped inside this godforsaken circle. Elijah’s groans were heard as Angelina and Victoria were helping Lucifer to control Melissa.

“Fuck your love! Why don’t you understand I never loved you! I made same mistake my mother made and handed my heart over to Lucifer! I never belong to you, Draven, NEVER!”

I would’ve laughed at Draven’s face as his expressions turned to pain and grief.

Karma is a bitch, rascal!

“Wha-”

“Endor motherfucking hybrid destroyed my mother! He made her hate shapeshifters so much! I saw her sufferings with my own eyes! He made her hunt down her own daughter!” Tears of blood shed from her eye as she screamed with inevitable anguish.

“How do we stop her?! She’s getting uncontrollable!” Victoria shouted as she paced towards Melissa and pinned her down to ground.

“Aphrodite break the spell! We need her for this!”

This made me wonder where she had run off to! I didn’t realised her absence till now.

“Why did Aphrodite brought her back, I don’t understand?” Angelina scoffs as he bing her hands with silver chains. Where did she get these from?

“To kill a hybrid, she’s the strongest witch after Ayannah,” I looked startled at Elijah who suddenly seemed to be interested in whatever was happening. It was a real chaos with angry and raged words and weapons that were impossible to control.

“Why?” Angelina breathed out in shock as she tightened the chains around her wrists.

“She hated Lucifer, dammit! She hated Nora!” Victoria said as she looked at Elijah.

“Hello, twin brother,”

“Fuck off, Victoria! Get me out of this flame!” He groaned as he rubbed his face.

Draven was still glued to his spot looking at Melissa with heart broken expression. You deserved it!

“What else do you know?!” Lucifer snapped as he slammed her body against the walla gin with force as the wall shook with impact.

“I’m inevitable, love… I’ve survived thousands of years feeding on life essences of every shape shifter I’ve killed and…. by killing you I’ll be regarded as most powerful witch in this universe, but..” She smirked as he flashed his canines.

“But what?!” He growled as she grinned.

“But feeding on her life will be more fun along with two hybrids… breathing peacefully in her womb, don’t you think?” She grinned as her eyes snapped at me.

My breathing caught as I struggled to breathe. Oxygen in my lungs reduced as my chest burned.

“W-what’s happening?” I whispered as Angelina looked alarmed at me.

“She’s channeling from you! And Elijah!” She muttered in pure shock as I looked at her with teary eyes.

“She’ll feel pain of every wound inflicted on me,” she whispered huskily as Lucifer immediately loosened his hold and I felt relieved.

I didn’t get what she said as she leaned in and whispered something in his ear as his eyes widened for a mere second before his eyes snapped towards me.

A smirk played on her lips as she looked at me.

“Why don’t you tell her your true motives, Lucifer, huh? Why don’t you tell her you just wanted to use her for your own twisted purposes, huh? You never loved her, you planned to kill her…”

I gulped hearing her cruel words.

“Shut up!” He growled but I knew her words were true.

“Why? You don’t want to tell her how much you loved me? Oh, I see… You never told her. You never told her countless nights I spend writhing under you with pleasure, how much you loved to caress my naked body underneath the silk sheets, huh?”

Every word was breaking me emotionally and physically.

“I SAID SHUT UP!”

“HAHHAHA….. Do you fuck her with same passion you had for me?”

I didn’t acted or said anything but inside it was breaking my heart.

“Or do you love her, Lucifer?” The mockery and jealously in her tone was evident and I waited for him to give me something to believe in him.

But his words shattered me.

“I don’t love her!” He growled and I broke.

It hurted me to realised that I wasn’t as important to him as I thought I was. It felt worse to know that I didn’t mean anything to him. I misunderstood his feelings, like hell, I misunderstood my emotions.

I guess I was still holding onto to something that I know will never happen. My heart was tired and I wanted peace.

She’s channeling from her!

Her soul was connected to me that’s why she I was feeling her pain and what would happen if there was no longer the source of her power?

I looked around to see panicked Victoria, she was pregnant with Falcon’s child and being a friend I was I had responsibilities towards him. Angelina, she was purest and innocent soul I had ever met. She was played.

Draven was a mere puppet of Melissa’s strings and Lucifer, well I had nothing left for him I had already accessorised him with my digits, my body, my heart,… my unspoken love.

Melissa’s eyes widened when realisation of my action dawned upon her.

“Don’t!” She screamed but it was too late.

I looked at Lucifer as a small smile danced on my face.

“It’s said that there’s no fate between humans and supernatural, I’ve heard it many times. That was why I never expressed my feelings. I was afraid what would become to bother of us… you’re right, I was a fool to fall for you.” My eyes landed on dagger that was luckily inside the circle.

“No, don’t do this we’ll find another way!” Angelina cried a she pleased with teary eyes.

“Drop the fucking dagger!” Lucifer growled as he sped towards the circle but an unseen force stopped him as he flew backwards.

“I wont let you die!” Melissa whispered as she rotated her hands and send him flying backwards.

“My love isn’t selfish, I just wanted to be beside you,” she cried as she realised the weight of reality.

She was going to die, along with me and Elijah.

This was only way to stop her and I was too selfless to think about myself. This was no longer about me, it was about everyone who deserved a life, away from all this.

“You’ll always be my intended to be my last love…” She whispered and I saw same pain I was feeling. His eyes glower as his veins protruded out of his arms as he growl like an animal before speeding towards her.

She spreaded her hands and formed a circle of wind that pushed him away as she smiled roughly at him.

“Until, next time…”

Lucifer screamed as I plunged the dagger into my stomach.

Third person’s p. o. v

His eyes glowed with pain and anger. His screams were unheard, as he watched h her body falling to the ground.

The warmth of life stolen by the cold embrace of death. The impact of her limp, lifeless body was synced with the wails of Angelina and Victoria, who were watching closely, hoping for a different outcome. Victoria sprinted over, forgetting the fatigue in her swaying legs from the ongoing battle, desperate to find any remaining flickers of life in her friend’s body, but was met with cold silence.

Elijah’s body was laid next to her with open eyes and lifeless soul. Victoria couldn’t describe her emotions, she let tears flow for her twin brother and only friend she had.

Melissa’s body was turned into ashes as Draven looked at her. His eyes no longer held warmth and love for the woman and without saying anything, he sped away with his solace heart.

Lucifer’s shock turned into rage and anger. This was not how he wanted this to end. His rage get the best of him as temperature dropped and thunderstorms erupted in this dark night. He never knew he would feel this much pain and anger for her. He didn’t realised, he loved her, till she was gone.

He growled as their walls of the mansion shook. Victoria looked at him as she rushed towards him.

“She’s gone. There’s nothing you can do about it,” she whispered as she feared his rage, not for herself but for her unborn child.

“She’s can’t leave me! SHE CAN’T LEAVE ME!” Agonising screams filled the whole mansion as he screamed. His heart clenched and his chest tightened as his whole body shook. Black veins were decorating his body like roots and his red pupils were enough to scare anyone.

“He’ll pay! HE’LL FUCKING PAY!” This was all Victoria heard before Lucifer was gone and she knew what did he meant.

Draven, and somewhere she wanted him to pay, for killing Falcon.

She crouched down next to Sarah as she caressed her cold cheek with the back of her hand.

The skies cried for her along with nature as her lifeless eyes stared into nothing.

This was what he wanted from start an now she had it.

Freedom.

She was finally free.
