The Forbidden (Lyla's Curse )

Darker Shades

The streets of the Beareau were dark as a shadow slipped passed the guards heading towards the Cartel Base, which was the power house of the other Cartels in the Beareau.

"He would end it". He thought "This impending war that would for sure destroy the whole world and send chaos through the earth, he had to stop it".

The towers and pillars of the Cartel Base were made slippery to prevent easy intruding, but one thing the Cartel didn't know was that the Barrel would always be one step ahead of them, always.

The Base lord was too blinded by pride and success to see, and his assistant Chris always spent his time on drugs and women to concentrate on important things, and that left them vulnerable.

Conjuring his powers, he muttered a few spells that sent him flying up the tower and into the nearest veranda. He smiled silently to himself as he stood up straight.

" Dana or whatever her name was should be at work with Chris".

he thought as he moved through the hallways which he knew so well, aiming for Chris's bedroom.

He stopped by the front door to hear moans and sighs of pleasure ring through the hallway.

The bastard, he couldn't even keep it down, way too much publicity for a huge appetite.

He heard deep grunts and the sound of the bed loudly smacking the wall, and then silence.

What the hell?

Did the mother fucker just come?

He would beat himself up later for giving him a cause for pleasure, and he had better complete his mission before the asshole gets back to his senses.

He made a few more moves before he heard another moan start from the room.

What was he thinking? The i***t would never be satisfied, he was an animal in human skin.

He carefully leaped from the hallway into the one below and hid behind a pillar when he saw a guard coming. When everywhere looked less suspicious, he looked around his surroundings and quickly recognized this quarter of the Cartel Base, it was the Base Lord's private quarter.

He braced himself to silently put an end to any impending threat he would meet on the way, as only the Base lord and his personal servants had access to this part of the building. Moving at a slow, steady pace, he walked through the Base Lord's hallway.

"Excuse me", he heard a female voice calling from behind " This part of the building is not open to visitors. "

"I have a meeting with the Lord" he said as his eyes peeped through the side of his hoody to see the girl.

" She seems new," he thought.

"Probably wouldn't recognize me."

"Follow me then, I will direct you to the meeting room" she said as she turned and made to look towards the direction of the meeting room, but was held with a dagger to her throat. The girl whimpered and tried to free herself as her fingers dug into his flesh.

"Never turn your back on strangers", Drako said, and he sliced her throat.

Her body fell on the floor and he wiped his dagger while looking at his hand. " A waste of beauty" he said, and moved stealthy to station himself up on the ceiling, he knew that the alarms would soon start ringing.

"Let the game begin" he muttered as the red lights went on and the security alarms which were sensitive to blood spillage fired off.

"That was a very short ride" Devin complained as he slumped on a cushion and carried his pup latini in his arms, he was a hundred percent sure that Lenore speed up the car using some enchantments " Uncle Lenore was all fired up and angry" he said to the pup while rubbing it's fur.

" Nice try Devin, but I've had a bad day and am not falling for that to add to the list" he said as took a seat on a cushion opposite to Devin.

"You sure have been keeping things from me" said Devin " Why didn't you tell me that DuPont's niece was in town"

"I don't get to tell you s**t about my encounters" Devin snapped.

"For someone born and raised in the Covens you sure do have a rotten mouth" Devin replied as he crossed his legs and stroked his pup, that had Lenore thinking that he looked like a devilish prince who was spending his time with his pup on his golden throne, the colour of the pup being black helped enhance the image.

"ohh please, I only lived there for six years..." he was interrupted by the sound of the bloodram going off

"An unwanted guest" Devin smirked as he continued stroking his pup "Seems like you will be getting a feast today" he said to his pup.

Drako watched the silly little guards carry the girls body while some stationed their self for defence. They were silly because they couldn't see past his invisibility spell and little because he watched them from a high altitude.

He saw Chris stride in and scoffed, at least he bothered to put on shorts. He went about asking silly questions in the name of investigation which made Drako think about ending ending him, but the people of the Beareau were no fools for they knew about invisibility spells and how it worked. One move from him and he would be shot at the spot, all he needed was to follow the Base lord to his safe haven and slaughter him.

He kept on surveying the view till he noticed Devin and Lenore enter the room and immediately stilled, he chose to operate while they were out because Lenore was as magical as him or even more. The last living son of the f****d up bastard who used to rule the seven Covens, how on earth did he get back so fast?

Instantly aborting his mission, he slipped through the nearest window and landed outside the building.

Lenore's eyes snapped to the window nearest to one of the slippery towers and he moved towards it before he caught the sent in the air and stopped on his tracks. He looked around but didn't see any thin line which showed the difference between reality and illusion and sweared internally.

The damned bastard was gone

"Who was it" Devin asked from behind.

" Drako Hartwood" Lenore spat.
