All Chapters of Embrace The Light (Book 2 - Completed): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Gabby was talking in the back room with Ralph, I was waiting for Walt when the front door was knocked. I could see from the glass door that it was John, the creepy guy. I was battling myself whether I should open the door or not. But he already saw me, so I decided to go near the door and try to listen but keeping it closed, I was going to pretend that I didn't have the key to open the door."Miss, would you mind helping me, I seem to have left my phone inside?" He asked politely, but there was something off about him.I signaled him to wait and told him that I would search for it, but keeping him out at the same time. I figured I was going to let Ralph deal with him when I find his phone.But the minute I turned my back on him, he somehow got inside and pulled me roughly to him. His hand was tight on my waist, while his other one was keeping my mouth shut. I was struggling, but failed the instance his skin touched mine.That was when I saw M

Arkael, my guardian had shielded me and gave me strength. All this time I never knew that he was there for me, that he was guarding me. We communicate in silence as he engulfed me in his dark aura, in his darkness.I communicated with him, and asked him about the old woman who wanted me to go with her, to cross to the other side, saying that Arkael was his son. He chuckled to my silent words, I couldn't believe that I heard him chuckle in my head. My darkest fear, the one entity that I feared the most chuckled to my words. Deep, dark chuckle making my insides warm and safe. I looked at him and smile. Minutes later I felt Arkael groan as the ground shook under me. He was angry, then I heard my name was called. My heart fluttered to his voice, Arkael must've felt it, as he reluctantly loosening his embrace over my body.

"Right, so let see..." she was back with a big dusty ancient-looking book on her hand. She starts opening the book and flipped through some old looking manuscripts that looked like it was bound manually by hand."I need the name of your guardian." She stated, while her eyes were still busy skimming through the pages. "Arkael." She stopped her movement and slowly look up at me, her eyes wandered from mine then to Walter, then to mine again."What?" I asked her curiously, she opened her mouth as to speak her words but then she looked at both of us for the second time."He's the dark one, he had been ruling the dark side keeping peace within the dark kingdom for hundreds of

"So, I just got a phone call from Dave. Apparently, now that your mother is deceased and your father is in jail you had the access to your house. If you would like to take your personal stuff? If not then just let the house as-is. It's still under your father's name...." He told me as we were finishing off our breakfast. He was pouring our coffee and sitting closer to me, while Milo was lounging on the floor under us."I...I think I might just take the rest of my clothes and shoes." I was actually hesitant, but that was the only stuff that I own, though they're not the best I couldn't keep on asking him for more clothes. I was already freeloading at his place and though I saw our future together, but I still feel like I needed to bring something to the household."Hey, if you need more we can buy you more. I don't want you to come there

It was still dark when I got out of bed, I grabbed his shirt and put it on and walk my way to the bathroom. I was just about to get back to bed when my senses were suddenly in tune, I could feel that someone or something was trying to communicate with me. I tried to make myself relax.I can do this. he's with me, he will keep me safe.Then I felt him... Arkael, he was outside the window looking in. Walt was still sleeping soundly, I could feel that Arkael was luring me outside telling me to go to him. I shook my head telling him, no, but he held out his long bony hand at me, and somehow I was feeling a pull towards him.I was walking to him, alert to my suddenly vast surrounding. I was not inside the cottage anymore when I felt my bare feet touched the damp ground. I should've
