Chapter 30

**LUCIANA'S POV**

“Let's go!”

As soon as I said those words,I felt myself becoming stronger. It was a strange,scary yet familiar feeling. It felt like I had done it before, even though I wasn't doing anything.

My captors began to move, something they didn't do for a long time.

Luciana began crying and I became even more determined.

“What should we do?” I asked my wolf.

“First,we need to get away from this altar. Honestly, I don't know what is going on but I know that you mustn't die here. It would be too disastrous.

I was bound with a rope ,so I began by trying to break free from the rope but it didn't work,and the more I kept struggling, the more I felt the rope become tighter.

“What the hell is going on?”

She kept quiet for a while and I assumed she was thinking, honestly the whole situation was a little bit funny.

“I think it's magic. Now,although you don't remember, this has happened to you before, while you were in a dream state. A witch has placed this spell.”

As she spoke,my eyes fell on a tree,and there,I saw Damon? What the fuck!

I continued staring at him and my wolf and I became silent.

“What are they doing here?”

“How am I supposed to know?” She replied with a question. “It doesn't matter…we need to figure out how to get out of these chains.

I noticed that my captors stalked closer to me,so I decided to stay put. I turned my head back to the place I had seen Damon earlier but he was nowhere to be found.

“The time is nigh,draw closer unto me! The gates of Khaosykre! The gates that hold terror and destruction…..Tear through the fabric of fate,the veil that has securely kept you away from your followers. Bring forth your generals, your instruments of doom and destruction, for the reign of the princes. Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan,Belial,Beelzebub, Asmodeus,Mammon! I summon your generals to pave the way for your arrival in this accursed world that needs to be purged. Hear my plea and answer my summons!”

Lightning flashed across the clear dark sky in shades of purple and red. It seemed chaotic yet beautiful. Before I knew what was going on,lightning struck someone from the group of people who formed a circle around me,then it moved on to the next and continued.

My heart beat erratically in my chest as I watched them drop dead in my front. I let out a shriek but my lips wouldn't move. My lips were firmly pressed together, like someone was preventing me from speaking.

I turned my head slowly towards the person who made the incantation and met his yellow eyes staring at me directly. His lips curved into a smile. The corners of his lips going up and reaching his eyes. He placed his index finger on his lips and mouthed.. “Shh.”

I felt extremely terrified and tried to tear my gaze away from him but I was unable to look away,or rather,his face was registered in my mind and no matter where I looked, I still saw his face. The yellow eyes and the terrifying smile.

The wind began blowing, growing stronger by the second as it whipped my hair around. The thumping of my heart resounded in my ears as the lightning struck the people around me, scared and unable to tear my eyes away from the grotesque sight in my presence, I watched as they died,as their screams were swallowed up by the night. As nothing but their ashes remain,blown away by the wind,scattered into different parts of the world.

There remained three people who had not been struck by lightning and Luciana was among them. Her face was full of snot and tears. The little girl was terrified and I felt my heartbreak for her. It was too much to bear and with my inability to do anything,I could only watch.

It struck the next person and he was completely burnt,nothing but his ashes remained. Luciana was next.

My chest started to hurt as I tried desperately to free myself from the bind that held me down.

“Help me!” I cried in my mind,to my wolf but received no response. It was dead silent. “Help me save her, she's still too young. Please!” I cried but was met with silence.

The lightning attempted to hit her and I watched with trepidation, tears,pouring from my eyes,but it stopped immediately and went to the next person,killing the lady instantly.

It finally hit her and it didn't burn her to a crisp but only burnt her up to the point that her gown stuck to her body in liquid form..I was seeing her chest bare and the damage inflicted on her made nauseated instantly. Her shrill screams prevented me from bringing out contents that weren't present in my stomach.

It hit her again,but still didn't kill her. Her screams resounded in my ears and it felt like my ears would burst,they were bleeding.

The same thing happened again but she still wasn't dead.

I was being taunted. I turned back to face the creepy smiling man and the mocking smile he had plastered on his face drove me crazy.

I opened my mouth and let out a scream. Finally, I could open my mouth. I noticed something weird after I screamed, he wasn't standing in his original position, instead he was a few feet back on the floor.

I tried to break free and discovered that I could move my hands,I immediately ran towards Luciana as the lightning was nowhere to be found. It was wrong to call it lightning, rather it was a killing instrument.

I removed the bonds from her hands and feet. Her skin peeled off as I performed the action. I cried,not because of myself but because of the girl. She was in so much pain but didn't make any sound. She wanted to live that badly.

I carried her and attempted to run but I was stopped by a man who held a longsword in his hands.

“You're staying till the end,bitch!”

I weighed my options, I couldn't try to fight back because of the girl in my hands, and I couldn't drop her down.

“You're going to complete the ritual and revi….” His words were cut short as hands pierced right through his back,ripping his heart out.

He fell with a thud and Duncan's face was revealed.

“Duncan..?”
