"Gone? She might be somewhere in the castle Dark, you worry too much." Gon said, preparing himself to go back to the dark pool.

"She is not in the castle," Dark said in anger, kicking Gon head with one of his legs. "Use your fucking nose on that face of yours before you talk rubbish." he added.

Gon did as he was told and within the space of thirty seconds he was out of the pool, standing naked and pushed Dark out of the way, leaving the room and returning a few minutes later.

"She is not in the castle." Gon said seeing his brother's facial expression. "But her scent is only in this room and not all over the castle."

"That's because she was inside the room with us." Dark told his brother.

"Where could she have gone to? Weren't you supposed to know when she left your arms and the room?"

"I was resting too Gon, just like you were," Dark fired back and took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Besides, if she had left the room we would have known." He added.

"Maybe she went to her kingdom," Gon said brushing past his brother to the wardrobe to put on some clothes and Dark did the same thing. "You know she told us she would like to go to her kingdom afterwards, what if she went there?" he added, turning slightly to face his brother.

"It's impossible, first Raziah doesn't have teleportation power and secondly we are inside this castle, there is no way out of this castle Gon, remember? If it was Amaya I would have agreed, she can disappear and appear whenever she likes, she also creates portals so getting out of here is like a cake to her but Raziah on the other hand has none, I would have known." Dark told his brother. "And there is no one else's scent except us and hers."

"Then how can she disappear?" Gon asked, clearly frustrated.

"We will find out when we ask the keeper of Stone." Dark answered.

"But first let's check in her palace, who knows if she might have developed the powers of creating portals after that dream of hers." Gon suggested.

Dark agreed and once they were dressed in the same outfit, a dark long tunic, a dark trouser and dark boots, in fact everything about them screamed darkness.

Without wasting time, Dark touched the shoulder of his brother and black mist envelope them and the next minute they were gone leaving the room empty.

Immediately their feet touched the palace ground of the werewolf Kingdom, they knew immediately that Raziah was not here and hadn't even been here at all.

Black mist wrapped them once again and they were gone and this time around when the black mist appeared, it was in front of the keeper of Stone.

"I have been expecting you both again, I know I will see you two sooner than later."

"You knew? You knew she would go away and it didn't cross your mind to tell us, right?" Dark query.

"Dark, everything happens for a reason and yes I know she will be gone." the keeper of Stone replied in affirmative.

"Where is she?" Gon demanded.

"With Hydra and the others."

"What?" Dark and Gon both exclaimed together.

Nodding his head. "Yes, you heard what I said. She is with them."

"But how? We were together, believe me I would have woken up immediately Hydra steps into our room. I would have known if Amaya enters the room, I would have-"

The keeper of Stones Interrupted Dark rumbling.

"Raziah went to meet them herself, none of them came."

"What do you mean? Raziah doesn't have any power to take herself from our room to meet them." Dark said meeting Gon eyes which seems to say 'I told you.' and returning his gaze to the man in front of them. "I refuse to believe that," he added, crossing his arms.

"True, she didn't have the power then but she has it now."

"What do you mean?" Gon repeated his brother's earlier words.

"Meaning the soul of Lucifer is inside her, Hydra and Amaya have released Lucifer's soul."

"Why didn't you tell us what they were planning? We could have stopped them and now Raziah is in trouble." Dark said, his anger slowly returning, but he was trying to control it. He was in the presence of the keeper of Stone and didn't want to lose his anger on the old man.

The keeper of Stone shook his head sideways. "Raziah is not in trouble, instead you both are." he told them.

"How can we be in trouble?" Gon asked this time around.

"The soul of Lucifer is in her body, though she is trying to take control over her body back but she is gradually failing in that aspect. Lucifer is stronger than her and not to mention her father in her previous life." The keeper of Stone said.

"So why are we in trouble? You haven't given us an answer yet." Gon said.

"Now that Lucifer's soul is in her, she will be coming for you, to kill you both."

"If not that she is Raziah, I would have said 'I would like to see her try it." Dark said, his lips twitching. "But this is Raziah we are talking about, our mate, so instead I will say 'what are we going to do?"

"We have to find a way to get his soul out of her body as fast as possible," Gon said. "I don't want him to corrupt our Mate," he added.

"It would be harder you know, because the soul of Lucifer is draining her soul quicker as we speak and soon her soul will be gone forever." the keeper of Stone told them.

"We could have stopped them from releasing the soul of Lucifer and prevented all these from happening. Our plan was to wait for them to come and attack us at the castle." Dark said. "Give me one reason why I should not strangle you right now?"

"Because I know how to remove Lucifer's soul from her body, it's my job and that's why I am still here." the keeper of Stone revealed.

Vampire Kingdom:

Aragorn leads Raziah to his room and immediately informs one of the female servants to get a dress for Raziah from his late mother's chamber.

The servant girl brought a dress and left their presence.

Giving Raziah the dress he waited, smiling a little at her as she stared at him.

"What are you waiting for? Get out of here so that I can dress."

Raziah's voice was cold towards him and he didn't like it. He knew he had offended her but he still pushed his luck.

"Raziah I know I have offended you so please give me a chance to make things right between us. Remember what we shared, it was selfish of me to do what I did to you." Aragorn said, trying to move over to her but his feet got rooted in the floor when he saw her glare that he gluo down nothing which made a sound.

"Are you done? If you are, get out of here so that I can dress." Raziah told him with no emotion on her face.

"Why should I leave when I have seen the whole of you more than once, seeing you naked won't be the first time Raziah." he didn't get to finish his statement when Raziah quickly move in front of him, holding his neck in a firm grip, her fingers turning into sharp claws. She made sure it sank into his neck and smiled when he grunted.

"I am not Raziah, and whatever you had with her should not cross my shoulders, do you understand?" She applied more pressure on his neck and he managed to nod his head. Holding her hand on his throat for a few minutes before letting go, turning her back towards him. "Now get out of here, don't force me to Aragorn."

Aragorn didn't need to be told twice and he left his room before Raziah carried out her threat. One thing was sure he wouldn't let Lucifer ruin his one chance for him with Raziah. Never.

Keeper of Stone Hideout:

"Why didn't the Creator stop them from stealing his Soul or has it not come to his notice that the soul of one of his prisoners is gone by now?" Gon asked with a raised brow.

"That's why you two are here to do the job, you hand back his soul to me and I will take it back to where it truly belongs."

"But how are we going to do that? And just so you know, we can't hurt Raziah if that's what you want to explain here." Gon said and Dark nodded after him in support.

"You have to find a way and lure Raziah here, afterwards, leave everything to me. I will take care of it."

"Do you intend to trap her?" Dark asked.

"Yes Dark, using that." the keeper of Stone answered pointing behind him but when Dark and Gon looked behind the old man and they saw nothing.

"You know that there is nothing behind you which you would use in trapping Raziah." Gon spoke first.

"Oh you can't see it but I can. I know what I have behind me and I am telling you that I am still here because of Lucifer's soul. So find a way to bring her and leave the rest to me."

"Easy, just go to where they are and grab Raziah and disappear and bring her here immediately, work is done."

"It's not easy Dark, you have forgotten she is no longer the Raziah we know now, Lucifer dwells in her. And also we have Hydra, Amaya and that ugly Vampire Prince to fight."

"Plus Belphagor, you forgot to mention him. I bet he knows the plan of releasing his brother's soul but still on still all of them put together are like our boots to me.". Dark boasted.

"We will need help." Gon said.

"We can both take them down all alone without any help."

"Dark, trust me, we need help, they have armies and we have none."

"That can be easily arranged."

"Creating plenty of demons will weaken you Dark."

"So what do you suggest we do? I hate to say this but the more time we spend here the more time we are giving that prisoner time to suck out Raziah's soul. We have no time." Dark reminded his brother even though his brother was right about him creating many demons would weaken him not now that they want to go to war with Hydra and Lucifer.

"I know Dark, remember what Raziah told us about the Witch Queen?" Gon asked and didn't wait for his brother to answer before he continued. "She has spoken with the Witch Queen and the lady agreed to help her whenever she needs her help. I suggest we visit her and use her armies. You see Hydra won't be seeing this one coming, do you know why?" he asks again and this time around waiting for his brother to answer as they stare into each other's eyes.

"Because each and every of the Witch Queen armies has magic." Dark answered with widened eyes.

"Yes, we've only got to confuse her to let us borrow her army and herself for the war."

"Hydra won't see this coming." Dark repeated his brother's words.

"We will bring Raziah to you and I hope you know what to do because if you plan on imprisoning her, well I won't tell you what I will do." Gon threatened the keeper of Stone who smiled at him.

"I won't hurt her, now, hurry up, there is no time on your side."

Without another word, Gon changed into his Dragon form, shrinking his size to a suitable size and waited until Dark was sitting on his back before he leapt into the air and flew towards the Witch Kingdom.
