Tasting Darkness

Chapter 111

Read Tasting Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 32 – Darius was in some warehouse. He presses his hand to a wall and

curses because of how low his magic is. Hellhounds followed him like obedient little pets, and I gasped, looking at him. And he

swallowed when his phone rang. The hellhounds wandered off as he answered it. It was a three-way call; Tobias and Thomas’

faces appeared on the phone.

“Thomas,” Darius says, watching his hellhounds look around.

“What’s up?” Tobias asks his brother, who appears to be in a different location.

“I felt her. She is close,”

“Where are you?” Darius asks, whistling loudly and his hellhounds come bounding back toward him.

“Outside, Astrid,” Thomas tells him, and I blink, and Darius’ eyes bore into mine, watching my reaction to his words. I searched for Astrid city and could never find it. When Kalen, words from months ago come back to me. It isn’t a city but a name.

“Wait for us. We will come to you,” Tobias tells his brother.

“I think she is in trouble,”

“Thomas, wait for us. You don’t know what you’re running into,” Darius tells him, and his brows furrow when a scream sounds in the background. My scream.

“Thomas. Don’t wait for us,”

“Sorry, brother, but this one is special.”

“Thomas, send me your location, now!” Tobias screams at his brother.

“Wait for us, Tobias. You need to come to get me. I am too low to portal,” Darius says.

“On my way, I mean it, Thomas, stay put, “the phone cuts out, leaving Thomas and Darius on the phone call only. More screams sound, and it must have been when I escaped the first lot. I had burned so much power that night trying to escape them.

“Fuck, Darius,”

“Wait,” Darius tells him. “I might not even be her,”

“‘I know it is,”

“You don’t know that,” Darius tells him.

“She is right there, Darius. I can feel her power. She is…” The phone cuts out for a second, and Darius looks at his

hellhounds and their location of Thomas,

Darius tries to open a portal, but it falters dangerously. If he steps through it and loses the power, he could be lost between realms. He curses at the transparent matter flickers before looking at his hellhounds.

“Find her and kill anyone with her,” he snaps at his hellhounds, and they leap through the portal, yet when he glances back at the phone.

“Thomas, I sent some hounds to her,” he says, but Thomas is gone. The phone is dead, and he tries to call him back but gets no answer. He tries to Tobias, but no answer as he then tries to open another portal as panic sets in. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“You knew he went after me,” I whisper to Darius as he watches himself panic, burning his magic out further until

burning his magic out further until Tobias finally reaches him. His hands latched onto Tobias in panic, tossing him back through the portal. And I find myself back in the parking lot where it all happened. The scream that left him when he saw his brother’s body was blood curdling “The hellhounds that killed him were yours,” I whisper, and Darius nods his head, squeezing my arms.

Darius, eyes scanned around for his hellhounds, finding them slaughtered and their body parts strewn across the pavement. I swallowed as Tobias collapsed beside his brother, trying to revive him. Wailing loudly, clutching his brother to him, whose body was torn apart.

Darius moves me closer to them and points to the A written in his own blood beside his body. My brows furrow.

“You thought he meant me,”

“We thought it meant you abandoned him,” Darius whispers.

“But I didn’t. He tossed me through the portal.”

“I know. Those woods surround Astrid,” he murmurs.

“Astrid?” I ask him.

“Yes, Astrid, home Aleera that is the name of the demonic kingdom, the castle. You were at home all those days. We just had to go home,” Darius murmurs as he walks over to one of his torn-apart hellhounds on the ground.

“The Fae you looked at in your memory,” Darius tells me as he turns around,

Darius tells me as he turns around, looking at the scenery surrounding us in the memory.

“Yes, something felt familiar about them, “I tell him as I watched Tobias break while Darius tried to pull him off his brother.

“‘That’s because she was your mother,” Darius tells me, and I gasp, spinning to face him. I shake my head at him.

“‘The fae chasing you were power hunters, the same ones that came to the castle the other day,” he tells me.

“No, my mother is dead,”

“You know she isn’t, and that is why you faltered, she felt familiar, and that’s because she shares your blood,”

The casted bubble fizzles around us as we

are brought back to the present. I stared at Darius, his hand still gripping my arms and mine his.

“Tobias doesn’t know,” I tell him, and he shakes his head. “I killed his brother,” I shake my head.

“Not intentionally, but I did,” Darius tells me, letting me go. I clench my teeth. My mind goes back to the memory where I stood stunned for those crucial moments as I stared at that hooded figure.

“You didn’t kill Thomas Darius,” he shakes his head, not agreeing with me.

“No, if you’re right about that Fae, then you never killed him. My mother did,” I tell him.
