Tasting Darkness

Book 2 Chapter 10 The air between my hands fizzles and zaps , electricity zapping between both as the air warps and | cast the sphere . | swallowed , feeling how hard it was to maintain and hold on to . Tobias made it look easy like he did casts regularly , but as hard as it was , | could feel my magic thriving , wanting to see how far it could push itself . “ Do you know why Vampiric- Fae casts are so dangerous ? ” | murmur . ” You're not vampiric , though , ” The demon laughs . ” You're right . Because | am so much more , ” | tell them , and the sphere casting changed to flames , the forest Tobias created in my head now burning in my hands . ” But that isn’t what | asked ? ” | tell the man who mocked. ” What are you teaching now , Aleera ? ” Darius taunts behind. ” Yes , teaching you all who you're fucking with , ” I tell them . Darius shakes his head at.

He gasps , and | glance at the aura tainting the demon men , each a distinct shadow of darkness with a different consistency . “ So my next question is , what do you fear most ? ” | chuckle , clenching my fingers into a fist before opening them . My magic flew out, the cast wrapping around them all like a dark cloud , and the chair screeched as | manipulated their auras , feeling for what they fear most . Watching as they scream and arms fly in the air . One in the front was petrified of spiders , and he clawed at his clothes and tried to wipe them off . Screams rang out through the room as others ducked , fearing Phoenixes they thought were swooping . It was oddly satisfying watching them scream and fear the images | had put their heads . They laughed , and now they screamed . | chuckle at the coldness of the magic meddling with them and spewing out of, magnifying , latching onto their biggest fears . All of them suddenly plunged into their worst nightmare , and | smirked , feeling the angry ripple when the one covered in spiders set himself on fire with his magic , the flames flying at the roof when Darius grabbedand shook.

” Drop it ! ” he snaps atand shakes.

And | see Darius go to absorb my magic and drop it before he does . He glares at, and the screams die out .

” Are you trying to burn this fucking place to the ground ? ” he snarled at. | glanced at the Demons , who were all shaken . | smirked , my eyes flickering . ” Do you think this is funny ? ” Darius said while his grip on my arms tightened as he shook. ” Fucking hilarious , as hilarious as they foundfalling on my ass, ” | sneered back at him , and he growled , and | noticed out of the corner of my eye . Tobias was helping soff the ground . Darius growls and looks at Tobias , but the moment he turns his gaze away , my magic erupts again as | clamp my hands on his face . ” What is your greatest fear , Darius ? What makes you : shake in your fucking boots ? “ | spit at him as he gasped , and he becstuck in the cast . The sphere takes shape as | latch onto his fear, manipulating it and making him relive it . | see a room . It looked sterile , with lots of science equipment and steel tables . He is a little boy , maybe only six years old , and he runs over to a man tugging on the back of his white lab coat . My breath lodged in my throat when the man turned around . | don’t know who | expected to see , but it definitely wasn’t him . The man turns , and | am suddenly staring down my own father . I blink , watching the cast when Darius roars , his grip tightening on my arms , and | try to push the cast wanting to see more and hold it over him when the room inside the cast catches on fire when Darius manipulates it himself and | am shoved back . My ass and lower back hit Tobias’s desk , and | stared at him wide - eyed as he stalked toward. His face was furious as he snarled , and | flinched as he smashedwith his magic, sucking the oxygen out of the air and choking. ” You want to play, little Fae , then let's see what you fear ! ” he snarls , reaching for. His hands lock on the side of my face . | don’t fight him . | knew what | feared , and | have faced my fears head - on . He forces the cast to latch onto. Only when it does what | fear is reflected at him, too . He staggers back when what he sees is his own reflection . The night he killed my parents was the first thing he saw . What | fear , I have always feared was him . The cast warps , and we are suddenly back in the basement where he broke my hand and leg, yet | don’t scream when it snaps it this t. | keep my head , reminding myself it isn’t real .

However , Darius is not expecting to star in my biggest fears , his magic drops , and he takes a step back from. ” What is it , Darius ? | face my fear daily . Not as weak as you thought , huh ? Because I'm still fucking standing ! ” | tell him . He blinks atin shock , which soon turns to rage when he grabsagain . ” Let's see how much bravado you have without magic then, he snarls before stealing my magic so quickly | stagger, sucking in air and gasping for breath when he takes every drop , leavingwith nothing , leavinghollow as he siphoned. ” Darius ! ” Lycus growls , rushing toward us , but he freezes when Darius turns his glare on him . ” Give her power back to her, and she will be back in the fucking cells where she belongs . ” He yells at our mates before turning his attention back to. ” If you think you can pushand win, Aleera ? You can’t . You're smart to fear. | am the monster you portrayto be , and pull that shit again against, and you will relive your biggest fears . ” He snaps before turning on his heel and walking out .
