Devour Me

Sneak Peek of Chapter X - Secrets of the Davenports

My eyes felt heavy and no matter how hard I tried to open them, each attempt failed miserably. My body felt as if it was battling with itself as whether it wanted to keep me alive or let me die. The burning sensation of the vampire's venom began to cease and was replaced a feeling of warmth. Although I couldn't open my eyes I was still coherent. King Adonis was telling King to let me heal myself. What the hell was this man talking about ?

Moments later I heard my mother scream out in despair. Whatever is going on with you body please wake up, I pleaded to myself as I fought to open my eyes.

"What the fuck are you Nyx.." King said, his voice was filled with confusion maybe even sorrow.

My body began to relax as if I was coming to. I felt a shooting pain in my back as if my shoulder blades were forcing themselves to part from my body. A painful scream escapes me as I hear King tell people to stay away from me. I could hear a commotion, followed by my mother yelling in her native tongue. My father ? What does my father have to do with this ?

A bright light flashed as my eyes opened. King's golden eyes were staring down at me. His fangs were exposed, fresh blood dripped from them causing me to panic. Getting up quickly from the couch I tried to plant my feet to the floor but I couldn't. A faint humming sound filled my ears causing me to look over my shoulder. A pair of beautiful wings were attached to my back. The wings were rainbow colored, glitter sparkled from them as they fluttered graciously. Was I flying ?

"King why are these wings on me ?" I cried trying to remove them but when I tried to take them off I only caused myself pain

My large wings flapped roughly causing me to fly back into a wall. Wincing from the pain I fell to the floor. My mother rushed over to me as she helped me up. Looking at her tear stained face I felt utterly confused on what was going on. King began to approach me but his father tried to block him. Snatching away from his father King reached his hands out for me. Taking his hands into mine I peered up at him with tears forming in my eyes.

"King what is this ?" I asked him trying my hardest not to break down in front of everyone

"I don't think you're human Nyx" King answered sighing heavily

"W—what do you mean I'm not human ?" I questioned chuckling in disbelief "I am human King. Okay, I'm a fucking human, mama tell him, tell them" I said pointing towards everyone in the room "I'm human right"

"Patawad aking mahal. Hindi ko ginustong malaman mo ang ganito" My mother said in her native Filipino language

"Find out what ?!?" I yelled as King arms wrapped around me tightly as I tears flowed from my eyes.

My mother lowered her head in shame. With everything going on I felt like the walls were closing in on me. My breathing became choppy, my skin grew clammy, I was begging to feel light headed. King took notice and stood in front of me.
