Prologue
"I'm scared mama," I say looking up at her still not comprehending what was going on.
"Don't worry baby, they are here to help," she says holding my hand protectively in hers.
The men around us started moving towards us slowly, their faces were hidden behind huge black cloaks which made them look more scary. I subconsciously moved and hid behind my mama. I closed my eyes waiting for the worst but it never came, I slowly entangle my self from her and looked forward the cloaked men were standing still.
"What do you want Diana? You know you aren't welcomed here," a man says emerging from the shadows.
" I need your help Eliphas," Mama says looking at him.
" And why should we help you?" he asks "you and your sister betrayed us after all,"
"I know you are mad-
A dark chuckle that makes me shiver cuts through the air.
"Mad. No no no saying I am mad is an understatement. I am furious. Your little game caused the death of many of our own," he says
"Please just listen you can do whatever you want with me I don't care but I need you to protect him," she says pulling me from behind her. I look up and meet with Eliphas's questioning gaze.
" An Andri. Interesting, I haven't seen one in a long time. who's is it?" he asks kneeling beside me.
"Idril," mama says with a low voice looking down, "she slept with a demon."
"So she got a child and now she wants to dump her responsibilities on us?"
"No she got a child and raised him, then she got killed trying to save him,"
" What do you mean?"
"Some people broke into the house and caught her unprepared they killed her, I got their before they managed to hurt him," she says
"So what do you want us to do exactly," Eliphas asks standing up walking towards us his eyes were black.
"Mama?"
"Its okay honey he wants to help,"
" I want you to keep him here and protect him," she says making my eyes widen.
"You know nothing comes for free, especially to a traitor," Eliphas says.
" I know. Take this," She says giving him a small black bag. Eliphas looks inside it and smiles.
"Your soul ring. You know you wont survive a day without it," he says
" I just want the child safe till he is ready to fight," she says. Eliphas snaps his fingers and one of the men with black cloaks steps forward and grabs me by my shoulder. Mama looks at me with sad eyes.
"Whats going on mama?" I ask scared.
"Don't worry baby its for the best,"
"I don't understand mama what is for the best?" I ask and she doesn't answer. she smiles sadly and starts walking away.
"Mama?" I call but she doesn't answer I try to free my self from the mans iron grip but to know avail "Mama?"
My voice was wavering by now.
"I don't wanna do this any more mama," I say still trying to get free.
Eliphas stands infront of me and looks me in the eye.
" Don't worry child, after this night you wont remember anything at all," He says in a tone so different than the one he used on mama he sounded nice...
"I want my mama back," I say making him chuckle.
"I know you do," he says running his finger down my face the action was making me sleepy.
"Will you take me to her ? " I ask in high hopes.
"Only if you behave. will you do that for me?" he asks. I nod my head suddenly feeling tired, I slowly lean on the person behind me darkness suddenly enveloping me.
The last thing I heard was a melodious voice...
" Sleep tight child."
