Of Heaven and Hell: The Beginning - 12. Chapter 12

Chapter 11

Kevin jumped into the air with his sword and slashed at Crad. He dodged it and then smacked Kevin with the hilt of his blade. Kevin hit the ground rather hard. I cringed when he hit the ground. I was getting worried and I didn’t know what to do. What could I do? I was human, a pitiful worthless human. I can’t do anything to help him. I felt a single tear roll down my cheek and then I felt warmth that wasn’t there before. I looked around and saw that they were disappearing or was I disappearing. The next thing I knew was that I was in a hall filled with black objects. It was weird. I was in a place I hadn’t been before and I had no idea why I was here.

I looked around to see a sword stuck in a stone it was glowing a great black color. I couldn’t see anything else, but the sword. Everything was pure white and I really couldn’t see all that well, but I heard a voice talking to me.

“Do you want to save your friend?” it asked. I nodded a reply.

“Then take up that sword in front of you, but be warned. It will wake up a demon inside of you that you must learn to control.” I walked over to the black sword and now that I was closer I could see how it looked. It was a pure black katana. The blade and the hilt were black as the night. I just didn’t know what to do. Should I pull the sword and awaken that demon, or should I leave the sword and let Kev…I mean Lunen die? I shook my head. I wasn’t going to let him die. Not after what has happened since I met him. So many things he has done for me in the Forty eight hours I have known him. One of them being that he saved my life and now I owed him something and I think this is it. I grabbed the hilt of the blade and started to pull upward. I could feel it start to come loose and I also felt something inside me start to quake, like something was coming back to life after so many years of being dormant. Finally, I pulled the sword from the stone and I felt all the black energy flow into my body. I could feel it creeping in my veins like my blood was made of the black energy and then all of the sudden, Toby’s necklace starts to glow a black color as well and then the whole room was covered in the black substance and that’s when I knew what this stuff was. It wasn’t energy; it was darkness, pure darkness that was now engulfing the room in its grasp. I felt like I was choking on the air around me and I knew that something was really wrong and then as the darkness finally swallowed me up I felt a warmth in my heart and then a bright light shined and I was blinded by a light that came from my chest the next thing I knew was I was standing in front of Lunen and Crad with Crad standing over him with a menacing smile. I saw them look at me with a weird look and then Nightmare screamed with a loud bellowing voice. I thought a lion had roared to show his territory.

“Yes, finally found him Ha! I told you he was here Lunen and you didn’t believe me, but here he is dressed up in the white robe and ha he even has the Lock Gauntlets.” He said. I looked down at myself and saw that the outfit I had on was gone and now I was dressed a white robe and white boats. Though I noticed that the clothes I had on was under the cloak. I looked at my hands to see to gauntlets attached to my wrists. They looked like they had Keyholes in them and one of them was lit up a purplish black color. I looked for the sword I had pull out form the stone and then I noticed that it was still in my hand, but it was sheathed. I looked at Crad, he was starring at me with the same menacing glare he gave Lunen. I smiled back at him and then drew the katana slowly out of its sheath and then I pointed the black blade at Crad and his face turned grim. He dropped his sword and started to back up.

“How…how do you have that sword? It’s not possible. That sword was sealed away by the master years ago. It was destroyed when he sealed it away.” He said in a very scared voice. I chuckled at this and went to stand by my boyfriend and Nightmare. They both had their swords drawn and ready for an attack.

“What Crad are you afraid of a little old sword?” I teasingly asked.

“Do you know what blade you hold in your hand? That is the blade of Destruction, the blade of Death, The Reaper’s Hand, The Moon’s Shadow, It is Oblivion. It can kill over a thousand men and over three hundred demons in one fail slash of its black blade. It is truly the blade of Darkness and how you can hold it is beyond me. Only someone full of darkness can hold that blade.” He explained in a panicked manner. I turned to the side of me and then looked back by the time I did, Crad was gone. I looked back at Lunen and the hugged him with all my might dropping the blade on the ground.

“I’m so glad your ok.” I said to him. He smiled and then kissed my forehead with his soft pale lips and Nightmare awed at the sight and I blushed a bright red.

‘We are going back to my house and you are going to explain everything including my you hide these beautiful frost colored eyes from me and this great blue white hair.” I said waving my hand and dispelling the spell put on his hair and eyes to make them look normal in stead of vampish.

“How did you do that?” He asked me

“My mom read some spell books and I said they were fake and then read them myself and I remembered the dream I had and tried one of the spells from the book. I’m surprised it worked.” He laughed and picked me up and carried me bridal style to my house, Nightmare following us the whole way. When we got there he didn’t come in, but Lunen did and he took me up to my room and laid me down on my bed and then he started to tell me how he was part of this organization, called Organization XVI. He told me that they had been looking for someone called the Locksmith which was me and that now that they had found me and that I have the final artifact. I was glad that he explained everything to me and that he told me about this part of his life, but what I really wanted to hear was about his life in general. Where he was born and who he was before he became a vampire and if he had any relatives left alive. I really wanted to know, but he was quiet. He grabbed a suitcase out of the closet and started to pack up my stuff. He said that I had to go live at the Tower in Mooresville, Washington. I nodded and left my parents a note telling them that I would come back soon and when I did I would explain everything and even bring an old friend too. I looked back at the house and then I set my luggage in the trunk and went to get in the car. I sat next to Lunen and placed my head on his lap and waited for this long journey to Washington to be over.
