They awoke the next day and found an old man in a suit holding two cups of tea. " Ahhhh who.. oh let me guess Olfius the butler" Helene screamed rather surprised "Helene stop screaming! ohh hi..is that tea I see" said Luna. And without any further questions, she snatched the cup and finished it within seconds "That's hits the spot" she muttered to herself. "Ok.. a bit Rude Lulu.... Thank you for the cup of tea.. sooo how long have you been standing there?" Helene said awkwardly trying to ease out the tension in the room, " Master Damien requests both of your presence in the living room, Olfius at your service" he said and bowed and left the room while the girls looked confused as to what just happened. "what an odd man, but his tea is amazing . Hells, did you try it.." said Luna still holding her cup sniffing the smell of tea that still lingered in the cup. "You and your weird obsession with tea...." she said side eyeing her cousin. "Anyway, I think we should head to the living room... Once you're done sniffing tea, Lulu." Helene said still shuffling around the bed. After what seems like a good 15 minutes they dressed up and went downstairs to the dining room.

Well finding the living room was certainly not easy as the mansion itself was huge. They were thankful that they met the loyal butler on their way to the owner of the so called Knight manner. As soon as they entered they saw new faces except for Logan of course. Logan was sitting at the corner of the table with one girl and one boy beside him. The girl sat in the middle of both of them. She had olive skin with deep blue eyes. She was indeed beautiful. Her black hair complemented her eyes just like tiny stars surrounding the moon. Beside the girl sat a sandy blonde haired guy who smiled with his whole teeth out at the girls. His evergreen eyes made it impossible to even think if a person like that exists. Just from a glance you can see how he playful and fun he is. "Is this a manner or beauty contest! Why do they all look pretty?" Helene mind linked Luna who was just as confused as her sister. "Well they at least show their face unlike Damien." Luna said while taking the seat opposite of Logan and the other two. " You two must be the archerwood sisters! Pleasure I'm Adam Anderson, the only normal one in the group." Adam said while extending his hands to the sisters. " Pleasure, Luna Archerwood." Luna shook his hand. " Yeah nice to meet you, Helene Archerwood" Helene also took Adam's hand. But Adam quite didn't seem like he wanted to let go." You are the white haired cold blooded murderer aren't you?!" Adam said holding both of the hands of Helene ,which in fact terrified her." Uhh yes I kill beasts but isn't a 'murderer' a bit too..uhh I don't know, too much. I just protect the people from bad guys" Helene said while uncomfortably smiling. " Oh sorry..o for emiris's sake I'm sorry!" Adam said now apologizing a little bit too much. Helene was saying constantly it's okay yet he didn't stop. " Oh for the love of my ancestors stop it Adam" the girl was holding her head probably trying not to jump on Adam and end his bickering once and forever.

" Sorry for this mess! I'm Kiara knight. Nice to meet you." Kiara smiled at Luna and Helene who were still consoling Adam. " Wait so you are the wife.? " Helene put on a shield upon her self so Adam couldn't no longer physically touch her hand. " That's the most yuck thing I have ever heard in my life!!" Kiara fake gagged while looking at the archwoods. " I'm his sister!" As soon as she said that the doors opened to the room, and entered the lord of the manner himself. Still he was covering his face with the mask and the hood. " What's up with all the hiding? May be a scar from a ferocious beast?! Oh skin melted from beast fire?" Helene blabbered every possibility about what happened to Damien's face but when he suddenly took of his mask and hood clearly non of those mentioned facts even mattered anymore. Sharp jawline, blue eyes with a hint of darkness swimming in them, midnight black hair. Well may be he hid his face from the all the ladies in town." I think my brain stopped working for a good second. Like my dear sister, he is the man of your dreams. Of my dreams, everyone's dream.!!" Luna was sighing in content while ogling the handsome lord Infront her. Luna was silent. Silently taking in everything Damien Alexander Knight once hid from her. Hid from them. No matter what he showed now he surely did hide something behind those eyes. " Done staring at me princess? " Damien smirked. " As if you're worth my stare Mr. Knight" Luna held eye contact almost to challenge him to prove otherwise. " Whatever you say" he sat at the end of the table and then came Olfius with all the goodies he prepared for them.

" Luna do not call me Mr. Knight it makes me seem rather old." Damien said while starting to enjoy his meal. " Very well then.. Damien it is." The food taste like heaven. Olfius definitely mastered the art of cookery there's no doubt in that. "You may be trying to enjoy your meal lulu but was that tension in the air I felt.?" Helene snickered through the mind link. " What nonsense was that hells! There was no tension, I mean he just said not to call him Mr. Knight?" Luna mentally rolled her eyes at Helene. "Well that Mr. Knight called you 'princess'!!" Helene was trying so hard not to scream in the real world. "Helene, maybe he is a flirty type of guy.. who knows; after all we just met him!!" Luna finished before they got caught talking internally with each other. "Even that Tobius doesn't call you 'princess''' Helene mocked and unfortunately her facial expressions were out on display for the others to see. " Are you yelling at us internally or something? Calling us names and bullying us?" Kiara asked while laughing at Helene whose eyes now were huge as snow globes processing what is going to be her response. "Helene just likes to talk to herself sometimes you know to improve her critical thinking." Luna faked a tiny laugh while making sure to give Helene her death glare." We are moving by midnight so get everything you want for the journey." Damien simply said and got up from his seat. " Make sure to pack light because it will be easier to walk quickly. " Then he was gone like a shadow without light.

" Everyone ready?" The tall brute spoke . " O Emris!! You can talk now?! Who muted you my friend?" Helene asked while putting a hand over his shoulder. " You are awfully comfortable with the person who kind of kidnapped you." Logan said while pushing away Helene's hand. " Well what can I say! I'm quite the friendly gal!" Logan watched as Helene marched off to her dear cousin. " I can't believe we are going inside the devils border!!" Luna chuckled at the way how Helene was jumping up and down like a toddler from the excitement.

"Helene just, don't spill blood everywhere... trying to kill the beasts okay?"

"Oh hopefully not.. everything I packed is tailored specifically for this journey and all are white. So yeah hopefully no blood."

Jump to the border

"Everyone don't draw attention to yourself" said Damien as the crew did their best to act casual as they were reaching the end of the border. "I didn't knew there were cracks in the devils barrier are you sure Damien can get us out" whispered Helene to Luna. "We don't have that much of a choice than to trust him hells" said Luna looking at Damien's tall figure walk forward. My Emris why does he seem so familiar.. Is it because of my dream

"Hey passengers aren't allowed here" a guard from the devils boarder said turning Helene to face him. " Ohhh it's the archerwoods... pretty little mages shouldn't be here." He said with a grin. "Oh of course it's you ace out off all people. Shame the monster didn't get to your mouth." said Helene looking at aces scar. He had changed, he was no longer the ace they knew during their years in the academy, Even though he was trying to conceal his emotions they felt it. Working in the devil's border could do that to a person, it could take away the innocence. His face had a scar that drew from his left eye to his cheek, he was more brawn.. he looked like a "true hunter". I wonder if Mylo would have turned out like him.... she couldn't help but think.

"Or you have company. Take your little friends and run off to the king Helene.. it's too dangerous for all of you anyway" he said with a stern face. "Oh my you aren't fun anymore.. we are here on official business. Adam, the papers..." said Helene just as Adam came to her rescue. "We are traders who simply got lost. We were hoping the mages would escort us to the tunnels" he said giving Helene a signal that said you leave I'll take care of him.

"Well sir the tunnels are closed and those mages rarely go out of the castle, they must have been lost themselves...." Ace chuckled still reading the papers thoroughly. Damien and the rest of the gang slowly moved closer to the border ,a space where the magic has grown thin. Just then Damien nodded to Adam who gave a cheeky smile.

"Wait.. the ink seems to be forged sir re-" just as ace looked up,Kiara threw a smoke bomb to the floor. Ace was caught by surprise, the smoke was too thick for him to see anything. " HELENEE!!!" he screamed. Just then out of nowhere Damien opened a portal and his crew jumped in. Adam grabbed Helene by her hood and dragged her in "Adam I swear I-" was all Luna could hear as she stood there silently. He.. he is the shadow prince. before she could process any of this Damien grabbed her by her arm and pulled her to his side," sorry for this love" and jumped through the portal leaving no trace behind.

"Ace are you alright...we heard screaming" said Lyla who just seemed to arrive. "Helene, the archerwoods.. they were here with some traders they gave me a note here" he found himself in utter shock when he realized that the paper itself had seem to disappear with the smoke. "My god ace you smell...were you drinking again!I swear if Lorrils sees you like this.. go sober for up now" as Lyla dragged him, he still wondered what the f*** did just happen.
