Chapter 35

• Hann •

”I guess he wasn’t who you thought he was.” I told Cassia and instantly regretted it. Her eyes glistened with tears before she looked down, away from me. ‘What the fuck are you doing?’ Abius asked, his anger traveling through me. 

‘I can’t exactly tell her that you’re invading my body now can I?” I asked him and he scoffed, his anger getting worse as he looked at her. ‘You’re feeding her lies. I had never lied to her before.” He said, now it was my turn to scoff at him. It was hard to believe he was actually a decent person. ‘Let me out.’ He demanded but I ignored him and tried taking a step closer to Cassia but wasn’t able too. 

‘What the fuck are you doing?’ I questioned, confused as to why I couldn’t move. He was fighting to come out, his anger taking over as I felt myself getting weaker. ‘I said let me out.’ He demanded once more. I growled at him, fighting to remain in control but failed. He had gotten stronger. I watched, shocked as cassia gasped looking up at me and backed away. I was seeing everything that was happening but yet I wasn’t able to move. 

My body moved on it’s own and towards Cassia. “Why are you crying, love?” Abius questioned her and I gasped realizing what was happening. He had taken control over my body but he had kept me on the surface. I didn’t know what to do, this was all new for me. Was this how it felt for Abius. Being aware of everything but not being able to do anything about it? 

‘Yes, that’s exactly how it felt. So now you’re going to sit back and enjoy the show.’ He said laughing before pushing me to the side. I felt completely powerless, I would’ve much prefer being unaware of everything he was doing. At least then I knew it wasn’t my fault.

“Why are you crying, love?” Hann questioned, his eyes completely red. It was the first time I was seeing his eyes fully red with no hint of black. I had learned that whenever his eyes were red, Hann was a different person. His personality was the complete opposite. 

“I’m not crying.” I told him and he smiled, moving closer which caused me to back away. It was the same personality that had raped me. I didn’t understand what it had meant but I knew he was dangerous once his eyes were red. 

“You miss him, don’t you?” Hann questioned, miss him? Do I miss Abius? I had completely forgotten about him and not to mention I had been asleep for 200 years. I wasn’t exactly sure if I did miss him. By the way I was reacting towards his name and our memories together. It seemed like I did. But I was feeling a pull towards Hann, the bond was replacing what ever memory I had left of Abius. 

“No.” I answer him and he let out a laugh which surprised me. He continued moving towards me while I backed away. I didn’t know what he was trying to do. 

“Do you even know what happened to him after he died?” Hann questioned making me stop. I furrowed my eyebrows looking at him confused. He spoke as if he knew more about him than I did. He had died, what else was there to know? 

“What happened?” I asked and he smiled. He took a step forward and stopped inches away from me. He reached to touch my face but I quickly turned to the side preventing him from doing so. 

“He went to hell and became a demon.” He informed, I was not surprised learning he had gone to hell. He was killed for practicing black magic. The magic had consumed him and ruined him. But how did Hann know all of this? 

“Not surprised.” I mumbled, gaining a chuckle from him. He reached to touch me again but I backed away. I gasped as he vamp speeded towards me and grabbed me by my neck, pulling me closer to him. 

“I missed you. I looked for you after I escaped but I couldn’t find you anywhere.” What? I stared at him, watching as his eyes flickered from brown to red as if he was fighting to control himself. His grip on my neck tightened and I quickly brought my hands up to try and removed his. He groaned, closing his eyes and letting go of my neck. I took in a deep breath and backed away. I watched as he opened his eyes, they were his natural brown ones. 

“I’m sorry.” Was all he said. He stared at me for a bit longer before vamp speeding out the window. I quickly closed the window and locked it. I let out a shaky breath and slid down to the floor. I had no idea what was going on. What had he meant when he said he had missed me and that he was looking for me? Was he talking about after he raped me? No, that didn’t make any sense? What could he have escaped from? 

I sighed, deep down I knew what he had meant but I refused to believe it was true. I refused to believe it was him. But that was the only explanation, if he was to escape as a demon. I needed answers. Hann had left without giving me any, which meant I needed a witch. I needed to speak to Nina. 

I grabbed my phone and quickly dialed her number. She had given me her number the same day she had showed me her magic. She wanted me to trust her, well this was her chance to show me I could. 

“Cassia?” I skipped the whole how are you and are you okay questions and went straight to the point. 

“I need to talk to you.” I told her and she sighed. The line went silent for a few seconds before she responded. 

“You’ve got your memories back?” She questioned, and I smiled to myself. Of course, she wasn’t stupid. The day she had touched me and gasped, pulling away. She had known something. 

“Can we meet up?” I asked her, wanting to speak in person rather than on the phone. She hummed and texted me a location. I hung up and quickly left the house.
