519 [Bonus chapter]
“But.. I did all this for you.” her voice was filled with pain and hurt when she looked at him but his eyes did not reflect the warmth.
“You can not force someone to love you, especially by hurting people he loves. You were blind with the desire to possess me Diana, that was not love.” he sighed, “but I know it started with that promise. That was why I tried my best to save you. But now it is too late.”He did not release his hold on her neck when her eyes glowered but she was not able to speak again.
She coughed hard and struggled but she was in no comparison to Rafael. Scared, she looked at Dami, “help me..” but he looked away.
“You did not realize Diana? You have betrayed him too.” Rafael added in a soft voice but his eyes were hard.
Diana gritted her teeth. “He.. was useless anyway! I.. still cough.. Have help!” she closed her eyes and whispered, “Eve.. I need you now.”
Rafael frowned. He had not this name before but before he could strangle her, her whole body covered in dark flames burning his hands that he instinctively took his hands back. Diana was released but instead of falling on the ground, she kept swaying in the air with dark smoke covering around her in the form of an aura.
It had a similar look to Hazel but it was so evil and thick that people near it felt suffocated.
“You are mine Rafael. It is fate, no matter how much you deny, fate can not be changed. The promises between our parents could not be changed. I am only trying to stop you from making a mistake.” She raised her hands but even when they were far, the black smoke was about to hold Rafael in his hands but Hazel pushed him away.
Her eyes had already turned pitch black with her silver hair swaying in the air her body was releasing the same black aura that was holding the aura leaving the body of Diana.
.....
Diana gritted her teeth and used all her energy but it was still controlled by Hazel without much effort.
Soon her body started to shake again and the black aura started to leave her body and formed another figure in front of Diana.
The girl titled her head and stared at hazel with interest.
“I thought you were a witch!” she whispered, amazingly, filling her eyes, “I thought you were like others.” as if an obsessed boy had found a new toy. She was looking thrilled.
“You are from the devil realm!” She knew those pitch dark eyes and this aura. The devil who claimed to be her father and Declan had this too.
“Why am I not surprised that you know about us!” she smiled as she was able to use all her energy then. “But you are not pure enough to handle me.” with that the black aura of her turned stronger, darker while Diana came forward too.
Rafael, who was about to help Hazel, paused and held Diana from attacking Hazel from behind when she fought with their new enemy.
Eve was using her full force and Hazel who was still weak with her loss of powers slowly started to struggle in fighting.
Her aura started to struggle to keep stopping the force Eve was releasing which brought a smirk on the face of Eve as if she was enjoying the show.
But just when she was sure that Hazel would lose, Hazel closed her eyes and her powers started to increase. As if she had found a new source and could compete easily with Eve who was surprised and irritated.
In anger, she flicked her fingers and Damien, who had still not chosen a side, was attacked by the dark energy.
Rafael, who was still fighting with Diana, let her go and ran to save Dami as he threw him away using the force of his body and the black energy hit the wall behind them shattering it into pieces in a moment.
Taking the benefit of this moment, Eve and Diana disappeared from there. Hazel finally took a deep breath. When she tried to move, her feet staggered and a bit of blood came out of her mouth but she balanced herself as she walked towards both of them.
She looked at Damien with worry, “hey, are you hurt?” Damien stared at her with a blank face and shook his head after a few seconds. “I am not hurt at all.”
“But you lost the chance of capturing them because of me.” not only did he not help, he was the reason they lost.
“Hey! We are able to save you, and our extended family. So, it makes us win.” She punched his shoulders and then she stood up and looked at the two people who were standing in the corner of the room as if they did not want to be part of all this trouble.
“Are you my mother?” asked hazel in a soft voice but the woman only hardened her face.
“I am a halfling. How could I have such a strong daughter? I did not hold the dark energy you have.” Hazel laughed and then nodded her head.
“Is that the reason that you left me in the palace?” the woman looked away but shook her head after a second.
“His main wife was about to kill both of us to get rid of future hurdles. I took you with myself too but a strange power stopped me and took you back to the palace. I did not dare to go back. But I tried to take your information from a few friends.
They told me you were attacked many times but surprisingly you were never hurt and the assassins were found dead around you. That assured me that you would stay fine. Then I found Peter who really loved me and cherished me. So I married him and started a new life.
I had to bury you there then.”
