Immortality’s Love - Chapter 54

Immortal love, forever full

Immortal love, forever full,

Forever flowing free

Forever shared, forever whole,

A never ebbing sea!

Our outward lips confess the name

Love only knoweth whence it came,

And comprehendeth love.

Blow, winds of God, awake and blow

The mists of eart away:

Shine out, O Light divine, and show

How wide and far we stray.

We may not climb the heavenly steeps

To bring the Lord Christ down;

In vain we search the lowest deeps,

For Him no depths can drown.

But warm, sweet, tender, even yet,

A present help is He;

And faith still has its Olivet,

And love its Galilee.

The healing of His seamless dress

Is by our beds of pain;

We touch Him in life’s throng and press,

And we are wholle again.

Through Him the first fond prayers are said

Our lips of childhood frame,

The last low whispers of our dead

Are burdened with His Name.

O Lord and Master of us all,

Whate’er our name or sign,

We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,

We test our lives by Thine.

The letter fails, the systems fall,

And every symbol wanes;

The Spirit over brooding all,

Eternal Love remains.

“Did you find her?” Athan asked Alaric who was with the others looking for Katherine. It was almost two weeks now that Luther got Katherine. They spent the first week recuperating from the wounds they got from the silver chains. “How’s Drake?” Athan shaked his head and Alaric deeply sighed. “It must be from the marking.” Both Athan and Alaric looked behind them and they saw Amber with the rest of the guys. “Paps said that instead of Katherine, Drake was the one who is suffering from the mark given to him.” Dawn said. “If he can’t overcome what he’s in right now, he might…” Thana can’t continue the words she want to say. The boys clenched their hands tightly. “He must do everything. He should be the one looking for Katherine.” Amdis sobs. “He’s strong. He will get through it.” Blake said. Kieran punched the wall beside him to release his anger towards Luther. They all looked infront of them when they heard a clearing of throat.

“I need to talk to all of you.” Gregory said and they looked at each other then, followed Gregory.

When the door opened, Katherine didn’t even look because she already knew who it was. “Travis told me that you don’t want to eat.” Luther said but he got no response. “If you will continue being stubborn, you will not be ready for the full moon.” Luther said and walked slowly towards Katherine. She wanted to move, she wanted to run, she wanted to come back to Drake but she’s tied with silver chains causing her to be weak. She can’t even use her powers because Luther had his men around Serafino’s clans that are ready to attack everyone if she tried to escape. She avoided Luther’s hand that tried to touch her face.

“You will kill me then, why don’t you kill me now!?” Katherine looked at Luther angrily. “I will never kill you because you will be my queen.” Luther said. “I will never be your queen!” Katherine said. “We will see.” Luther said then went out of the room. Katherine tears fell again. “Drake…” She whispered

“Are you nuts!? When they see your face back there, they won’t hesitate to kill you!” Athan said angrily. “It is our only choice to save Katherine!” Gregory said. “By sacrificing yourself? Do you think Drake and Katherine will allow that? You are already one of us. You are part of this family.” Amber said making Gregory smiled. “And I thank you for that. All of you had accepted me even you knew that I’m an enemy. And I wanted to do this for my family, for my people. Trust me on this one.” Gregory said looking hopeful that they would allow him to go to Luther’s place. “Okay, we will let you go but bring Blake and Kieran.” Alaric said. “No! It will be more difficult if they saw them with me. I still have my loyal friends in there so I’m not doing this alone.” Gregory said. “Promise us one thing.” Athan said. “You will come back here in one piece.” Athan continued. “Of course, I still need to kick Drake so I could flirt with Katherine.” Gregory said and the rest laughed.

“Ouch!” Gregory said because someone hit his head but furrowed his forehead because no one was in his back. Everyone redied themselves because they saw what happened to Gregory. “What the f__k!” Athan said because someone kiss his butt. “Who’s in there!?” Alaric asked. “This is really creeping me out!” Amber said because somoeone is lifting her and that made the rest opened their eyes widely. “Oh gosh! Please help me!” Amber said screaming.

“Drake, stop that!” Serafino’s voice was heard around the house. “Drake!?” Everyone said at once and the man himself appeared infront of them. “What the hell happened to you? How did you do that?” Blake said not believing what he is seeing. “I guess it was because Katherine’s blood is running in my veins.” Drake said smiling. “You scared us all, you asshole!” Kieran said that tried to hit Drake but he quickly dashed. “Woah, you also had her speed?” Dawn said and Drake nodded. “All her powers?” Thana asked and Drake nodded again. “Ooohhh, this is exciting. I will let Katherine bite me too.” Athan said and he got an angry glare from Drake.

“If you want to die early then, let her bite you when she comes back.” Serafino said making the rest looked at him with puzzled face. “Drake and Katherine are mates so the bond help Drake to overcome hell.” Serafino said making them looked at Drake. “It was beyond hell.” Drake said and each of them felt shivers hearing what Drake said.

“Enough with me. Let’s get Katherine back. I missed her so much.” Drake said and the rest nodded.

“Baby, I’m coming…” Drake said to himself and start discussing with the rest of the plan he had in mind.
