Chapter 21

Screams echoed through out the house in a haunting tone.

Felix sat beside his mother, on the ground, clutching his hair in a futile attempt at getting the screams out of his own mind. Cassandra felt her son's pain and wasn't exactly thrilled by the sudden rise of fear in him.

"Felix, calm down. We need to trust those demons in protecting her." Cassandra said, slightly patting her son's head.

"I'm terrified mom." Everybody present heard those words. "I don't want her to die."

Alicia looked as if she was going to burst into tears at the statement her coven leader made. He really did love the girl who had the unfortunate turn of fate of summoning every single demon Solomon ever ruled.

"She won't die." The sudden voice from Alicia alerted everyone of the panic which was rising. "This is Eve who we are talking about. Before you Felix, Eve only had her siblings by her side. But now she even has you, the leader of a coven of witches who would give his life for her. Believe in the girl who painted a portrait of you and keeps clutching onto that one hope of your love."

These words stirred something inside Felix. He knew very well Eve was waging a war of her own behind the closed doors of that room and without a second thought the male stood up looking at his coven with fire in his eyes.

"Tonight we will wage a war of our own." Felix stated. "My Tuberose is suffering in there because one of ours hurt her. I will not tolerate magic being used in the ways of a dark one."

Cassandra sighed, knowing where this will lead.

"I am sorry to those who practice black magic, I understand what it means, but this coven will no longer be associated with the use, unless it is connected to Solomon's demons."

"We can shift our worship to them leader. It is no problem for us." One of the coven members smiled up at him, showing him his full support.

"Good." Felix nodded and then glanced at each of them. "I believe Serena and her new friends are hiding out in our old coven house."

The door in which Eve laid in her bear body, screaming in agony, suddenly cracked open revealing four demons as they stepped out.

"Young witch, we wish to join this battle and protect our King." Sytry said as he looked at Felix. "There are about four more demons evoked who will stay behind to protect our King and Buer had asked for the assistance of the supreme. The rest who will be evoked will join the battle gradually and aid you."

"We are here to protect and serve the King." Marbas said.

"Her siblings know of us and they have accepted us. They will not be harmed thanks to my barrier which is protecting them." Eligor nodded.

Felix was taken aback, but none the less nodded his head.

"Mother, I leave my Tuberose in your careful arms." Felix nodded as he headed out with the demons and his coven.

Tonight, the torture of Eve Terrance ends.

The house on the hill looked as ever. Abandoned. Creepy. And all out scary.

The only difference here was that a coven of witches surrounded the house, all feeling the energy of the four people inside, not to mention a whole bunch of energies to be more precise.

"The whole sect is here." Amy stated his body shifting uncontrollably as he transformed into his demon form along with the others. "We will all go inside together as a form of first offence and distraction."

Amy and Sytry went inside, followed by Marbas.

"Master Felix?" Eligor called out to the male, catching his attention. "Please do not die tonight. Our King has very strong feelings for you."

With a nod, Eligor joined the demons and the four started wrecking havoc inside. Soon enough, groups of withes joined in on the fight colors flashing, elements clashing and spells casting.

An all out war had begun.

Felix was with Alicia and Dylan as the three walked into the house, looking or their dear friend Serena. Not too long after they all found Serena, laying on the ground in the pool of her own blood. In the room she decorated for Eve on the petty word of Lucious.

"Bitch died before I could get to her." Alicia mumbled as the hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood up. "Another one is here."

"My, my the little coven leader has finally lost it." A female voice giggled in the corner.

"Didn't Amy kill you?" Alicia asked, recognizing the female known as Farrah.

"He did, but this beauty here helped me from the dead." Farrah smiled. "Taught my master a few tricks too. Too bad she had to die today."

"You guys go find the damn asshole." Alicia cracked her knuckles. "I'll take care of this."

Felix nodded and left with Dylan. Even though Dylan wanted to watch this cat fight with all his might.

"Well then, shall we start this game blondie?" Farrah laughed and threw a knife.

The knife changed direction and scratched the girl's cheek.

"Don't call me blondie bitch!"

* * *

Dylan got hauled away from Felix when Mathew suddenly showed up with a few other sect members and witches on his tail.

Now Felix walked alone towards the open door of his old room. The memories of this house sparked by recent events and death of his father made him agitated and pissed at the thought of letting the house stand in one place for so long.

When this is all over, he is so burning it down to the ground.

"So lover boy comes to the rescue huh?" Lucious laughed as Felix observed him on the old couch. "Where is my little wife?"

"Eve isn't your wife." Felix stated firmly, giving no room for arguments.

Lucious suddenly showed up behind him, placing the cold black of a small dagger to the taller male's neck. Felix's eyes slowly trailed to Lucious' sick breath on his neck.

This boy had some issues.

"Eve is and forever will be my wife." He pulled the blade, slightly scratching the tender skin on the witch's neck. "The poor coven you lead will slowly fade to nothing. They will all die tonight for that whore. Along with little Eve and her family."

Felix chanted in his mind. A spell which made Lucious' hand tremble and the dagger to fall out his hand to the floor. It rattled gravely as Felix caught the other boy's hand and with ease twisted it behind his back.

"My little Tuberose will not die tonight. You will."

Felix couldn't bare the turn of events which escalated in a matter of seconds before his eyes. He was pinned to the wall by an invisible force which held him by the neck, while Lucious laughed hysterically and chanted. Felix could feel the blood rush in his body and free itself through his nose.

Black magic was something he hated.

Felix coughed as he fell to the floor withering in pain. This was not how it was supposed to go. He was the one who was supposed to have Lucious withering in pain.

He couldn't allow this male to get near his Eve!

In a soft whisper, Felix started chanting the spell his father had used all those years ago to save his coven from near death. It was a heavy spell, one which required the life of it's caster.

"Aww casting under your breath?" Lucious laughed, stepping on the boy's head with his foot. "How lame. I don't understand what she sees in this pathetic excuse of you."

"You never will."

Lucious turned towards the door to witness a girl with black hair pilling at her snow white bare feet, dressed in a simple red night gown, eyes not exactly focusing on him. The mark around her eye had developed drastically and rooted itself along the side of her body, golden lines inviting him to touch her. Her eyes seemed to be clouded, but nonetheless gave off the feeling of comfort.

Eve stood before them, her back straight, her aura of a King.

"Lucious. Come here." She said.

Those two words made the male move towards her, his face that of a psychotic killer who's most important object of fascination called for him.

In reality it did.

"Eve?" Felix whispered out as he saw how many blazing eyes stood behind her.

The girl only turned her head slightly in acknowledgment showing him she heard him. It was clear to Felix the girl survived the evoking, but at the price of her precious sight.

"I knew you would come back to me my precious wife." Lucious said.

He hugged the girl and inhaled her scent, only to choke on his own blood. His eyes went wide as he looked up to see a hideous creature was clutching him, just as he was clutching it. Eve was nowhere in sight, only this creature which screamed in agony and opened it's large mouth to rip off the male's head.

Felix closed his eyes in fear. He heard every bone snap in the body of Lucious as an eerie quiet flooded the room.

A small patter was heard next and Felix felt a presence before him.

"Felix?" It was Eve's voice and without a second though or doubt he jumped up to his feet and hugged the girl in front of him.

"I am so happy you are alive."

"The same could be said for you." Eve said, inhaling the smell of his blood. "I am so sorry for being late."

"No, don't be." Felix pulled back and looked into her clouded eyes. "Oh my poor little Tuberose. You have lost the ability to see because of me."

"It's not your fault Felix." Eve said. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. This just means I will be depending on you more."

"Of course." Felix said.

Eve felt the little droplets of water on her cheeks and she understood just how much Felix had been in pain all this time.

"Ne, Felix?" Eve said, bringing the boy's attention to her round little cheeks covered in tears. "Would you mind if I moved in with you?"

"Oh little Tuberose, you will not only move in with me, but become my other half and bear little ones who will look like you!" Felix kissed her as the both went to leave the house.

In front of the house, a flock of 72 demons stood in human forms with their heads hung low in respect of their new King. Alicia and Dylan both held each other up for supports, seeing as the girl had a sprained ankle and the boy had a few broken ribs. Not all of the coven was here, some had laid their lives in that house on the hill, but most came back alive.

"Now what?" Alicia asked, hugging Eve with tears in her eyes.

"We shall build another house, after this one has been teared down." Felix said. "We will expand the coven house more, so there will be room for our new 72 friends."

The coven members all cheered and nodded looking at their leader. Felix held Eve's hand as he turned around and with a light snap of his fingers, set the house which looked over the hill on fire.

Burning it down to the ground.
