Fire of a Demon's Heart - Shawnta Christensen (read with me txt) 📗

his heart as tears ran down her face. She saw the girl and killed her too as fifteen demon guards showed up suddenly. She disappeared as they shot arrows at her.
Selene moaned and opened her eyes as she woke up. Demetri was asleep and gripping her hand tightly. She put her hand on his and he woke up as he smiled.
AYour awake,A he said.
She remembered her dream and sighed as she embraced him. He embraced her back and wondered what the matter with her was. She didn=t act like this around him.
@What=s wrong?@ He asked in worry, sensing her unrest.
`She shook her head and embraced him tighter as she closed her eyes.
AI don=t know if what I dreamt was a memory from my past or a vision of the future,A she thought, closing her eyes again.
He looked at her and put his hand on her cheek in worry. She opened her eyes a crack and looked at him.
AWhat is it? I can tell something is bugging you,A he said, his voice gentle.
She leaned up and kissed him as his eyes widened. Something was troubling her, he knew that, but what could he do?

ASelene,A he thought, closing his eyes and kissing back.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him.
AIf that was the future, I... I don=t want to lose him,A she thought, tears running down her face.
A pulse went through her and a white light enveloped her. She gasped as her eyes widened. She was being carried up as Demetri gripped her hand tightly, but his grip was loosening.
ASe... Selene!@ He shouted, trying to pull her back to him.
His grip loosened and her hand slipped from his. He reached for her as she reached back.
ADEMETRI!@ She shouted.
He flew in the air after her and grimaced in pain. His wings still hurt bloody from a battle a week ago. She reached for his hand and he was almost as her.
ASELENE!@ He shouted, barely touching the tips of her fingers.
She disappeared and suddenly an angel stabbed him in the chest, forcing him to the ground.
ASe... Selene,A He murmured, reaching in the air where she disappeared at.
He blacked out and one of his comrades took him to the underworld to heal him. An hour passed and Selene woke up as she turned to her side. She gasped as she sat up, looking around her.
AYou=re finally awake, Selene,A someone said.
She spun toward the door and gasped. It was the angel who had given her the sword. He was leaning against the door smiling at her gently. He was wearing a black kimono as he sat down beside her.
ADo you want to remember everything about your past?@ He asked.
She looked at him as her eyes widened. He touched her hand gently as he looked at her. She wanted to remember, but was scared that she would forget Demetri if she did.
AWill I forget everything after I lost my memories?@ She asked, tears in her eyes.
He wiped her tears away and smiled, shaking his head. She smiled at relief at him and sighed.
ANo you=ll remember everything,A he said.
She looked at her hands and he stood up. She looked at him and nodded as he waited for her answer.

AI want toY.. I want to remember my past,A she said.
He smiled and put his shirt down to his shoulder as he sat on the bed. She gripped the bed sheets at her side. She looked at his shoulder and saw a yellow crescent star that was glowing.
AAll you need to do is focus on your angel form and touch the star on my shoulder,A he said.
She nodded and touched the star as she focused hard. He gasped as pain went through him and she fainted from the shock and pain that went through her. He set her on the bed and her angel wings came out.
One hour passed and Demetri woke up. He gasped and sat up as he noticed he was in the underworld.
ADon=t move you=re still wounded,A a woman said.
He turned toward the doorway and saw his friend, Sol. She was wearing a black shirt and white pants. He ignored her and was about to get out of bed, but she pushed him back down.
AYou love that human don=t you?@ She asked.
His eyes widened as he gasped. He looked away as his eyes closed. He didn=t want to tell Sol, but he nodded anyhow.
ADon=t worry, I won=t tell the king. It=s our secret,A she said and fixed his bandage.
He smiled and laid down as he opened his eyes. An hour passed and she smiled after she was done. She picked up her stuff and started walking toward the door.
AThanks Sol,A he said.
She stopped at the doorway and smiled. She nodded and then disappeared out into the hall. A pulse went through him and he looked at the door. Shin was by the door with his son, Zen.
AWhat happened to you, my best warrior?@ He asked, stopping in front of him.
Demetri chuckled lightly as Shin did as well. They looked at each other and Shin smiled a little.
AI thought I was stronger than that demon, but I got wounded and then something else got me. I don=t know what it was. I killed the demon though,A Demetri said as he sat up.
Shin pushed him back down with a hand and Demetri looked at him. He shook his head and looked at Zen, then back at Demetri.
AYou need to rest for a couple of days. Don=t worry, we=ll have someone else take over your missions,A he said as he stood up.

His son walked out of the door, looking angry as usual. Shin was walking out too.
AUm.... my king?@ Demetri asked.
Shin stopped and looked at him curiously. Demetri didn=t pry into the king=s past, but something was bothering him.
AYes?@ He asked as he walked toward Demetri.
Demetri sighed, closed his eyes and looked at the door. Shin stood by the bed and crossed his arms a little.
AWhat happened to your son? He always looks angry,@ Demetri asked.
Shin sighed and looked at him, his eyes sad and worried. He glanced toward the door, making sure his son was gone, then looked at Demetri.
AHe fell in love with an angel. He betrayed her and tried to make up for it, but she stabbed him. He regrets it a lot,A he said and left.
Demetri smiled and looked at the ceiling as Sol came in. He looked at her and saw her smiling happily. She held up a vial of green liquid as it glowed brightly.
AI found a potion that will heal your wounds in five minutes. So you can save your girl,A she said.
He smiled and she put it on slowly. They both gasped as it finished, the wounds fading away.
AThank you Sol. How can I repay you?@ He asked, grabbing her hand.
She blushed and took her hand from his. She shook her head and smiled as she looked at him.
AYou can save you girl,A she said.
He nodded and rushed out of the building. She sighed and went back to work as she hoped Demetri could save her.
ASelene, I=m coming!@ He thought.


Chapter 3

Past


Selene was an angel, but she was still human. All the other angels called her their leader because she was stronger than everyone else. She was a chosen one, having the power of angels given to her by a god, to kill demons and save lives. She was the only one that had two angel wings, the others had six or four.
She was on a mission to kill a demon and was sent down to the human world to kill it. She spotted something and stopped, taking out her sword and slicing her finger on it. Blood ran down her sword and her wings glowed.
ACome on out! I know you=re there, demon!@ She shouted.
The demon jumped at her, but she sidestepped it and killed it. Two more suddenly appeared and charged at her. She sliced her hand again and charged at them, the one on the left swung his claw at her. She dodged it and cut its side. It howled and turned to dust
The other one came up behind her as she gasped. She did a back flip and stabbed the demon in its chest. It turned to dust as well and she sighed.
AVery good, for your first battle as an angel,A someone said.
She looked up at the top of a building and saw the man who had given her sword to her, Kyoto. Kyoto jumped down and grabbed her hand as she smirked. She sheathed her sword and it went into a jewel in her hand.
AYou did well. You should relax, come have dinner with me,A he said and went into a false human form.
He was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. She went into her real human form and was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans, black shoes. They went to a park after eating and she saw a man, sitting by the river.
AI=m going to head back Selene,A Kyoto said smiling as he went into his angel form. She nodded and saw the man=s hands clench. Kyoto disappeared and she walked toward the man.
AWhat=s wrong?@ She asked as she looked at him.
The man turned into a demon and grabbed a sword. She blocked it with her sword as he gasped and went back into his human form.
@She=s pretty, but she=s a stupid angel,A he thought.
She laughed lightly and walked on the water as she twirled around. He gasped as the moon hit her skin, making her angelic. She stopped as her angel wings came out as he scoffed and disappearing.
AThat was tough to trick him,A she thought and went to the underworld in her human form.
She gasped as she saw a huge castle and saw a bunch of guards. Her cell phone rang and she answered it smirking.
ASelene, go to the underworld and trick the prince into loving you, then kill him,A Kyoto said and hung up.

She put it away and saw the prince. She giggled and he looked at her as his eyes widened.
AHi prince of the underworld,A she said smiling.
The next few months they talked to each other, until one day. He walked toward her and she walked to the river. She started walking on it and he got annoyed.
AWhat is it Zen?@ She asked curiously as she stood on it.
Zen stepped on the water and fell as she sighed. She caught him as he gasped and looked away. She looked at him and smiled a little.
AI=ll teach you how to walk on the water if you want?@ She said, smiling.
He smiled as he nodded and she put him on the water. He gasped as he stood on it and looked in amazement. She smiled and a guard saw them. He took out his spear and rushed at her as she sighed.
She pulled her jewel out and focused on
