Ivan's POV

I am the second of sibling of the Hammington Family, each and everyone of us were cursed a thousand years ago but some curse ran deeper than others, some demons are stronger than others and my demon runs the deepest, my curse runs the deepest.

For 6 months I haven't been living, I've just been here, hating the sun that never fails to come up each day and making it look like it's just like any other normal day when it's absolutely not, despising the moon that always light up everywhere each night, everywhere except my heart
Since I lost her, I've been stuck in darkness.

Everyone knew me as Ivan Hammington, the wildest and most beastly of all the Hammingtons, but this wild beast fell in love when he shouldn't have, I fell in love with her, I shouldn't have, I cared for her, I really shouldn't have, I stayed by her side and got attached to her, I really shouldn't have done that, but what could I do? The beastly Ivan Hammington who has been a loner for a thousand years became powerless in the face of love, I fell in love but she died because of it, she died because I loved her when I shouldn't have
I should have known, I am cursed, I destroy anything innocent I touch and she was the perfect innocent lady but she's dead now, because I loved her.

"Oh please Ivan, your thoughts won't let me sleep in peace" Layla complained as she sat up but I ignored her

"Come on Ivan, you are stronger than this, you've been mourning her for six months Ivan, six months!" she said and sighed when I said nothing.

"I know you really loved her Ivan, but....."

I didn't let her complete her words and I walked out of the cottage and sat under a tree in the woods.

After that day, Eric, Eva and Dianna disappeared from the Cemetery along with her baby and I was left alone with Gia but I was too heartbroken to be around anyone, I needed some time alone to heal on my own, that's if I can ever heal, so I told Gia to take care of Ethan, I can't be around anyone in this state of mind, so I left, I left Arcane City to be alone in the wilderness but Layla searched for me and found me, according to her, this is one of the toughest moments of my life and it won't be safe for everyone if I am left alone and indeed she was right, I would've blown up the whole Arcane City and whatever City I come across if she hadn't been by my side to keep me in control.
So for the past six months, I haven't seen any of those people I called family because they are my family no longer, not after snatching her away from me, the lady that made me enjoy living again, they ruthlessly took her from me

I stared at the night sky and at the moon, hating the shiny oval figure even more, how could you come out every night, brightening up everywhere but still leaving my heart in darkness?

Dianna's POV

My baby's cry echoed through out the house and I paced around with her in my arms, trying my best to calm her down.

"How's Bella doing?" Eva asked as she walked in.

"Not good Eva, she's burning up and she won't stop crying, maybe you could try to heal her with your powers or something?" I suggested.

"Heal her with my powers? You seem to always forget your baby is an innate one Dianna, my powers can't work her, it's normal for babies to cry and she's an immortal so if anything is wrong with her she'll probably heal herself soon so just calm down and nurse her to sleep" Eva said and walked out.

I continued pacing round the room, humming the one children lullaby I still remember from my childhood since my Mom would always sing it for me each night.

"Lullaby and good night,

With roses bedight.

Creep into thy bed,

There pillow thy head.

If God will thou shalt wake,

When the morning doth break.

If God will thou shalt wake,

When the morning doth break.

Lullaby and good night,

Those blue eyes close tight

Bright angels are near,

So sleep without fear.

They will guard thee from harm,

With fair dreamland's sweet charm.

They will guard thee from harm,

With fair dreamland's sweet charm."

My baby girl finally calmed down and dozed off so I gently placed her in her crib and went out to meet Eva.
She was standing in front of the shelf containing numerous candles but compared to the number of candles present, only a few were still lighted up now.

"One of the candles just went out" Eva said.

"So Eric succeeded in taking out another demon?" I asked and she nodded.

"But the candle that went off was a bright one, the demon must have been a powerful one, I hope Eric isn't hurt" Eva said and I smiled.

"I'm sure he's fine, even if he's hurt, he'll heal" I assured.

When the Hell Gates was opened six months ago, some demons escaped before we were able to close it back, the demons that escaped terrorized the whole city and Arcane City hasn't been the same since then, the city was in choas and people were too scared to even go out at night.

Eric, my baby and I, we are staying with Eva now, my baby needed to be somewhere safe and Eva's legion of witches gave the protection needed by guarding the mansion perhaps, the Hammington Mansion holds too much memories of all the Hammingtons siblings together, memories I always try to not remember because each time I do, I break down and I cannot afford to break down, Arcane City isn't safe for my baby yet and until it is, I'll have to remain strong still.

Eric suddenly walked in, he had a deep cut on his arm but it was already healing.

"You are hurt" Eva said.

"Am fine" Eric said, he looked worried.

"Is something wrong Eric?" I asked.

"Six months ago, when Aria Dixon died, you ordered for her body to be buried in the Guardian's Cemetery right?" Eric asked and Eva nodded.

"The demon I just took out, one of the witches on night patrol sighted him around The Guardian's Cemetery and when I was coming back, I noticed Aria's tomb, it was dug out and her body was missing"......
