Forgotten And Destined (Forgotten # 1)

by CATT

  Dominick was supposed to return here and let me know he had them out, and they are safe. After another five minutes passes without a word from him, I know something is wrong. Blinking, myself to the ware house and looking in the window, I see my parents are still there so much for never thinking of them as my parents again.

  This time they are awake. My dad has blood running down his face. My mom’s clothes are completely gone from her body. The pain I feel is almost unbearable. God only knows what they’ve suffered. "I swear to both of you after I get you out of here never again will anybody ever bother you.” I whisper knowing they can’t hear me but it is a promise I am determined to keep. Tears run down my face. I use the back of my hands to whip them away. I take a few deep breaths to calm myself. The tension is leaving my body. I know I am as ready as I'd ever be. There is no sign of Dominick and that scares me to death. This definitely isn't how the hell things are supposed to work out. I blink myself inside the ware house. I take two steps, and three demons appeared in front of me. Throwing my hands out in front of me the demons go up in flames. Continuing to walk I enter a room that leads toward where my parents are being held. The room is full of demons. There has to be thirty to forty at least. All types of demons a lot of which I have never laid eyes on before. "Die" I said, and watch them all drop in front of me.

  Walking on I look to see if I can see Dominick. He is nowhere to be found. Stopping I stand still and let my mind wonder looking for him, I locate him in a room all the way on the other side of the warehouse. His hands are chained above his head and blood is everywhere, and Dominick’s head lays limp. Two demons are beating him and licking blood from the whips they are using.

  Sending Dominick a message with my mind, I let him know I am coming to just hold on. “No" he yells. At first I thought he was yelling at the demons as they beat him mercilessly. Then he yells again this time I know it was for me.

  “They've done something you can't manifest in or out.”

  If I couldn't blink me and Dominick out, then I’ll have to kill the demons, so we can walk out of the room. I manifest a bottle of salt knowing it burns demons. Then I manifested a knife. I blink myself outside the room Dominick is being held in. Hearing the moans he making as the whip struck him. My anger grows tenfold. Kicking the door open I shout, “Hey shit heads I thought it was me, you wanted”? Both demons turn towards me. “Don't believe I've ever seen any of you guys before. What the hell kind of ugly shits heads are you anyways?”

  “We’re Drones”

  Their skin is black as if they had been burnt to ash their eyes are on the side of their heads. Their heads are big and oblong their mouth looks almost like a fish’s mouth and is too small for the size their heads. They stand a good seven or eight foot tall, in other words. They are huge! “Bet you guys get picked on a lot in hell huh?” I smile at my witty comeback. “Which one of you wants to die first?”

  “Don't come in here Lana" Dominick demands in a weaken voice. One of the Drones yells for Dominick to shut up then drew the whip back and struck him with it. “Guess your first to die” I say to the demon that had hit Dominick as I run in the room throwing salt at both demons. They howl in pain when the salt hits them. Taking the knife from the waist of my pants, I plunge it into the demon who had hit Dominick. He screeches in pain as he brought his arm down and hits me. I stumble backwards, pulling the knife out of the demon with me as I go. Getting my balance back I run at the demon again aiming on plunging the knife deep into its body, but before I can the other demon comes up behind me and caught me around the neck. I head butt it hard enough that it let me go. Then I yell DIE! Nothing happened. I yell die again still nothing happens.

  “They've done something Lana your powers won't work in here.” Dominick moaned.

  “Good I haven't had the fun of kicking any demon ass without using my mind in a while. This is going to be fun,” Kicking the Drone in the gut it falls backwards. Before I kick it again the other Drone grabs me from behind. Throwing my head back, I hit the Drone like I did the other one but this time it has no effect. Coming over my head with the knife, I feel it as it as sinks into the chest of the Drone. Pushing harder as I turn to face it, I buried the knife all way in its chest. I keep pushing the knife into the Drone. It starts stumbling backwards and its screeching is hurting my ears. However, I never let go of the knife. The demon hits the wall, and still I push the knife deeper. My hand starts ripping into the flesh of the Drone as I continue pushing my hand through its chest I can fill the demons heart pumping against my fingers. Letting go of the knife, I wrap my fingers around the heart and start squeezing giving one hard tug, I ripe the heart out and watch the demon fall to the ground leaving me standing there holding its heart. I hold the heart up showing it to the other Drone.

  “Is this what it takes to kill you?” I yell and squeeze the heart in my hands and black blood runs between my fingers pouring onto the floor. I throw the heart on the ground when the other Drone comes charging at me. I already have my arm drawn back my hand made into a fist. “You ugly piece of shit go back to hell” I scream as my fist sinks into the Drone’s chest. Feeling the heart, I grab hold and jerk my hand back pulling the heart out. After the Drone falls to the floor, I drop the heart and go over to Dominick his head has fallen forward. When I call his name, he doesn’t answer me.

  It scares me. Gripping the chins that are holding him, I pull but nothing happens. I wrench on the chains for what feels like a lifetime before they finally gives way.

  “Dom we have to get the hell out of here before more demons come" When he doesn’t reply I pull him to the door. Once we get back in the hall, it doesn’t take long before Dominick is standing, but still has to lean on me. “Dominick you need to leave you can't fight you're in to bad of a shape.”

  “Lana I'll be fine now that we’re out of that room it won't take long before I'm good as new.”

  “How do you think they are blocking certain rooms? We can use our powers in some rooms but not the others.” I reply.

  “I don’t believe they're using anything. I think Lucifer’s doing it. He can't do the whole building, so he picks the smallest rooms.”

  “Makes sense, next question. How did they get you anyway??

  “They pretended to be you. It sounded just like you. I thought they were beating you. I didn't think I just ran in."

  “Are you feeling better now?”

  “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. We need to get your parents and get the hell out of here. Can you use your powers to look in the room and see if there're any demons inside there with your parents.”

  Trying to use my powers it didn't take me long to realize I can't get past the shield. “They have the room shielded to tight the only thing I know to do is go in ready to fight.”

  “I’ll go first." Dominick said already moving to open the door. When the door opens I see my parents are still the way they were the last time I saw them. Dominick walks straight toward my parents, but before he can do anything, a Necromancer steps up behind him and sticks a needle in his neck. Knowing Dominick is going to be down for a while I start to walk in the room to fight the demon, thinking to myself as I was going “shit poor Dominick’s having one piss poor day.”

  “Don’t move” somebody said from behind me. Turning toward the voice, I see a tall handsome man. He looks to be in is early twenty’s. He smiles showing straight white teeth.

  “Who the hell are you?” I yelp.

  “Lana it’s really great to meet you. I’ve been waiting long time.”

  “Ok so you know my name why don't you tell me yours? Then I’ll be caught up.”

  I already have the feeling I know who he is but I am buying myself some time while I try to decide what the fuck I am going to do now.

  “I'm known by a lot of names Lana, but my real name is Lucifer.” He said smiling.

  “You know I've always pictured you being a monster of some kind." It never donned on me that Satan would be a handsome man. Made sinc
e though after all he is an Angel and all Angels are beautiful. I mean when you think about an Angel one of your first thoughts that comes to mind is beauty. The man standing before me has short blond hair. Brown eyes, he is tall and lanky like a swimmer. He is wearing a black suit that looks like it has been made for him. Guess they have tailors in hell. His tie is the only thing on him that isn't black. It is red, fire-engine red. His voice is almost soothing in its tone. “Why is it, you look the way you do yet your demons look like they fell from an ugly tree and hit every limb on the fall down?"

  Lucifer chuckled “AWE” you have a sense of humor too. You know Lana you and I will get along beautifully together.

  "Yeah whatever Devil what do you want from me”? I asked acting like I didn’t already know what he wants. Shit I needed to think of something fast!

  “Lana you are the type of person that likes to get straight down to business…I like that"

  “You don't know how well it does my heart to know I please you so much” I retort.

  Lucifer laughs "Lana you’re a breath of fresh air and beautiful as well, my minions never mentioned your beauty, but they think they’re the ones with the looks." Lucifer’s smirk never leaves his face.

  “Enough with the small talk alright? What do you want?”

  “Ok fine business it is then Lana I want your powers its simple really. I regret you'll have to die for me to consume them, but life’s uh bitch you win some lose some.”

  “If I agree to give myself up you'll let the Parkers, and Dominick go?” Turning my head towards my parents and Dominick I see Dominick open his eyes. Boy he wasn’t down long. They must've not given him as much of whatever it is they put in that needle as they give me that night in the club. A plan starts forming in my head. I give Dominick a wink letting him know everything is ok. I turn back to Lucifer.

  “Lana I give you my word of course I'll let them go. They mean nothing to me. I’ve no need for them."

  While Lucifer is talking, I use my mind on the demons that were fixing to enter the room where my parents and Dominick are. I may not be able to use my powers on anything in the room, but I sure can use them on the demons before they enter the room. It was hard blocking Lucifer from my mind. He is strong. I know I can’t kill him. I can feel his power. If he even thought I was fixing to try something he would kill me on the spot. However, I can kill his demons or minions as he likes to refer to them. Calling out to the Demons with my mind, I tell them to kill all the demons in the other rooms then kill themselves. When all hell brake’s loose in the room it doesn’t take long for Lucifer to catch on to what I am doing before he can make a move, I sat fire to the whole room. Burning everything in sight Lucifer screams for his minions to get my parents and Dominick and take them underground. The demons don’t listen to him. They are still under my control, but I can feel that slipping away. I know Dominick got my parents out as soon as the shit hit the fan. He had gone out the blacked out window in the room with them, or I’m guessing he had. I didn’t really see how he had gotten them out, but they had all been gone the last time I looked back in the room. Lucifer has been busy trying to regain control over the demons and hasn’t noticed what had happened. "Lucifer I yell it's too late I won!”

  “What? Do you think you can kill me Lana?” I’m immortal!

  "Yeah I know I can't kill you, but I'm sure I can kill your minions. They will see you back in hell!” I scream. I blink out blowing the warehouse up as I go. I hear Lucifer scream not in pain, but in anger as I materialized back in the house I grew up in.

  Chapter 22

  Dominick is sitting in the living room floor with my parents when I blink in. “What’s wrong with them?” I asked looking down at my parents. They are unconscious and both have been beaten badly their eyes are swollen shut my mom’s clothes are gone. Dominick has covered her body. He has a rag wiping my dad’s face. Picking up the extra rag, I wet it from the bowl of water that is sitting on the floor and wipe my mom’s face. They never move I can feel myself starting to get sick.

  What if they are dying, they are humans not Keepers they weren’t supposed to be kidnapped by Lucifer and held prisoner and beaten by demons. With my mom’s clothes gone, I worry about what had been done to her other than just being beat. Using my mind, I try to talk with them and get nothing. Then I try to get them to open their eyes still nothing. I’ve finally found something I can’t do. Something my powers won’t help. “God what do we do?” I question I notice Dominick doesn’t speak. He continues to look at my dad with worry on his face.

  “What happened at the warehouse?” he finally asked after a few minutes passes.

  I blew the place up and killed the demons. Lucifer went back to Hell I think. Really, I'm not sure about him. I left. I can tell you this much, he is really pissed off. He was screaming I heard that much. I'm sure he'll need time to lick his wounds before we see him again.”

  “Yeah I think it will be a while before we hear from Lucifer again.” Dominick states as he wet the wash cloth again and places it on my dad’s forehead.

  “We’re going to have to do something about my parents. There’s no way they can stay here where he can get them again. I'm sure I can do the same thing with them that Harris and Summer did with me. It's going to be harder because I'm going to have to send them somewhere else and change their names plus give them a whole new life. But I'll worry about all that later right now we just have to make sure they’re going to live. You have any idea as to what's wrong with them?”

  “From what I can tell the demons have poisoned them. The way you were poisoned the first time we met. The only thing is their human, and I don't know if they can be helped the way you were. Your body is different from theirs. You have Angel blood in you, they don’t." Dominick watches me as the tears run down my face.

  “You believe they did more to my mom than just beat and poison her?” I asked even though I was afraid of what his answer would be.

  “I think it’s possible Lana.”

  The tears that had been falling turned into full blown crying. Sitting down on the couch, I take my mom’s unconscious body in my arms and hug her telling her how sorry I am. Knowing that if it had not been for me this never would have happened to them. Holding my mom I cried until I had nothing left in me. Anger starts building toward Harris and Summer. They should have protected them after I left. That anger died a fast death because I knew there was no way Harris or Summer would have left them unprotected if they had known this would have happened to them. How were they supposed to know that I would have turned into some kind of freak whom Lucifer himself would come up from Hell to retrieve.

  “Lana it's time you let the King and Queen know what’s going on. If anyone knows what to do for your parents, it will be them. Plus I’m sure their worried sick about you."

  I know he is right. Harris and Summer will know what to do. They can bring Sage here to help. He is great. Without a doubt if anything could be done to save my parents Sage can do it. “Your right Dom it's time. I know Sage will know if there’s anything that can be done for my mom and dad.” Not waiting for Dominick to reply I let the vail lift knowing it wouldn't take long for Harris and Summer to materialize.

  Within seconds, Harris and Summer appear. They both pull me in a hug. My arms went around them needing there comfort. They both hold me in a family hug for a long time before releasing me. Crying I start telling them that my mom and dad need their help. While I am trying to explain what had happened I heard my name called turning around, I see Case coming toward me, Harris and Summer stand on either side of me. When Case reaches me he takes my face in his hands and kisses me. There is so much emotion in the kiss. I can actually feel everything Case has gone through for the past three days. He brake’s the kiss and pulls me into a hug that almost cuts my breath off. He questions me on what had happened and at the same time he is telling me how scared he had been. How he thought I was gone forever. How he had wanted to die.

  “I'm fine Case,” I
tell him trying to break away. Lucky for me Lisa moves in saving me from having to push Case away. "Do you mind letting us see our friend too?" Lisa speaks in a sarcastic voice. Case looks like he wants to push Lisa and Cain away. However, Harris doesn’t give him the chance. He put his arm around Case, saying something to him, I never made out what because again, I was being hugged. This time it is by Lisa and Cain, I hug them back and tell them I had missed them and I meant it. Lisa and Cain had become really good friends to me.

  When they move away Case rushes back to my side with his arms around me. “Harris can you help them? Lucifer had them and their hurt really bad I can't make them wake up.” Harris called Sage’s name and he appears in the living room with in seconds.

  “They need our help Sage demons have had them. You'll have to check inside and see what has been done. Their human so you need to be careful their bodies are weak.” Harris conveys.

  “Yes, your majesty” Sage turns to my parents and closes his eyes.

  “What is he doing?” I asked.

  “He's using his mind to look into their bodies to see what the demons have done to them” Harris said.
