Chapter 15

Grow stronger from the pain. Don’t let it destroy you. --@Charging

Haven

The last day passed me by in the blink of an eye. You know, there used to be times where I felt so out of place in Sanctuary, but that compares nothing to the way that I feel here. I know that I’m not alone, though. None of us feel comfortable. We’re only here because some sort of portal opened to a place called Xeha and now these lesser demons are flying out and stirring up a shitload of trouble in the process.

I pull my coat firm against me, hoping it will help me stay a tad warmer. I still wanted to know why they decided to build this supernatural fortress in the middle of the damn cold.

I walk up to the fountain in the center of the town and look at the sculpture. It’s of a beautiful woman, one whom I wouldn’t know about. I glance around to see if I can find a plaque explaining who she is, or what she has done, like the humans do when there are sculptures based off of actual people, but I don’t see anything. It’s left blank and my imagination will just have to wonder, conjuring up a story of who this woman once was.

“You’re going to freeze out here in that.” I hear his voice grumbling from behind me and can’t help but smile. Right now, I’m glad he can’t see the grin that’s plastered across my face.

I turn, facing him—Darkness.

“The rest of my body will just have to adapt, my heart’s already this cold” I retort, smirking at him. “Anyway, it’s not like I have anything else to wear. We left in a hurry and this is all I had.”

Darkness removes his massive black coat, it goes from his shoulders all the way down to his boots, something that I would have assumed someone to wear hundreds of years prior. He walks quickly towards me, shoving my arms in the sleeves and making sure I’m wrapped up tight. I’ve never had someone do something so kind for me. “We will search my chambers for some clothing for you. I am bound to have a few items that were collected over the years, if not I will ask Mist or Trix”

“Who are they?” I ask, curious because he just said two women names. I wonder if they’re exes of his.

“Friends, two other members in the High Order”

I nod at what he says, still learning about him and this High Order.

“Come. We’re going inside.”

He grabs onto my shoulder and tugs me along with him. Nothing about Darkness asks, he just takes what he wants, and I respect that. He drags me along with him until we reach the castle, walk into the oversized foyer and back through the hallway until we reach the back and open a doorway that leads to a spiral stairwell. We go down the stairs and come to a stop at a wooden double door. He places his hand on the doorway and pushes, opening his massive room to me.
