Chapter 18: Chapter 18
1000 years ago...
"I, Parcella Linton, greet the young lord Daemon Mason" a young woman with curly blonde hair and brown eyes as with a bow. Daemon was silent as he just stood and stared at the young women. "Greet the lady, Daemon" his father, Duke Alexander Mason, demanded. "I humbly Greet the lady, parcella" daemon said ever so humbly.
His father shot him a glare. "Come now brother, you can do better than that," Mikail said suddenly. "I do not care to be engaged" daemon told them. "If you wish to take my title then you will wed the young lady" said the Duke.
"Of course father" daemon said before his father turned and walked away. "Shall we walk?" Parcella said with a bright smile. She was a beautiful young woman, daemon could admit that much but he believed she was nothing beyond that.
Suddenly a scream echoed from behind daemon, it was his mother. He quickly turned and ran in the direction the scream had come from leaving Parcella alone. By the time he had gotten to his mother she was on the ground inching away from her husband, Daemon's father. Who had his sword out ready to kill her.
As Alexander raised his sword, daemon wasted no time pulling out his own sword and stabbing his father in the chest. As he pulled it out Alexander's lifeless body fell to the ground. "What have you done daemon?" his mother said with wide eyes.
"He was about to kill you mother," daemon told her. "You should have let him," his mother replied. "It seems your father had lost his mind" Parcella Suddenly said, appearing behind daemon. Daemon turned to her.
Her eyes suddenly gave off a quick and purple glow. Daemon rushed to her and grabbed her by the neck. "What have you done you filthy witch?" he said through gritted teeth. "Your filthy wolf line will end with you," parcella said.
Suddenly daemon went flying. And Mikail appeared. "What is happening?" Mikail questioned. "From your blood the unknown shall emerge... your children will be the end of us" parcella said. "I cannot allow you to live on past this day," parcella said. "OH GODS HEAR MY CRY, I BEG OF YOU TO CURSE THIS BLOODLINE, END IT HERE FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL CURSE THEM WITH ETERNAL LIFE!" parcella yelled. Mikail and daemon fell to their knees as they screamed in pain.
"Your line cannot continue," parcella told them. Daemon looked up at parcella as her face began to change, her blonde hair became brown and her eyes changed from brown to blue. "Who... are you..." daemon struggled today. "My name is Adira," she said. "And I am the witch who has cursed you with eternal life, wolf" she told him. Daemon didn't understand how she found out he was a wolf? It wasn't as if he shifted often.
PRESENT DAY
"I think that is all you need to know for today" daemon said finishing his story. "That's not a happy ending at all," Seraiya said with a pouty face. "It never is," Daemon told his young daughter.
Daemon stood up from where he sat and walked over to the window, Piper got up as well and walked over to him.
"You didn't exactly tell them much about your family," Piper said. "My father was a bad man and my mother... suffered at his hand. It took her a long time after his death to find herself and she only did so when she began to help others" daemon said.
Suddenly seraiya began to cough. Daemon and piper turned to the twins. "What's wrong rai" Damien said looking at his sister confused as she continued to cough.
"Seraiya?" Piper said, walking over to them and kneeling down. Seraiya covered her mouth, and continued to cough until blood ended up on her hand. "Mommy," Seraiya said looking up at her mother who had a horrified look on her face. Piper turned to daemon who had a look of shock.
"Colton!" Daemon yelled as he rushed to his daughter. Colton quickly came into the room. Piper stood up and felt seraiyas head which was now laying on daemons shoulder. "She's burning up" piper said. "Get a car ready" daemon said. "Right away" Colton said before suddenly disappearing.
Seraiya suddenly began to cough again. "Mommy what's wrong with rai?" Damien asked. "I don't know" Piper said picking him up and following her out of the room. "Where are we going?" Piper asked unable to keep up with Daemon. "Where else but to the hospital" daemon said. "The one in your territory has good doctors right?" He asked as they got outside where Colton had a suv waiting. "Well yes, but..." "put him in the car and hold seraiya" daemon interrupted as Colton opened the back door.
Piper quickly did as daemon said and sat Damien in a car seat and buckled him in, before getting in the passenger seat and taking seraiya from daemon. Her cough had grown worse since it had started only a few minutes prior.
Daemon got into the driver's seat and sped off. "Mommy... I don't... feel so... good" Seraiya said. Piper just held her tighter. She was fine just 10 minutes prior. She had no fever, no cough. And now she felt as if she was on fire and coughing up blood.
Suddenly the coughing ceased. "Daemon," Piper said as tears filled her eyes. "S-shes... she's not breathing" Piper said. "What do you mean" daemon practically yelled as he drove faster. "Let me see," daemon said as he held his right hand under her nose. He let out a sigh of relief.
"She's still breathing," he said. "B-but..." Piper couldn't speak. "You need to calm down Piper," Daemon told her. "Her breath is faint but it's still there if you freak out now there's no telling what could happen" he said as they finally pulled up to the emergency room door.
Daemon got out of the car and rushed over to the passenger side, ripping the door open and taking her inside. "Someone help her" he said as a doctor rushed over to him.
