Luciana left her everything. Traces of her blood remained on the signed and legally certified paper. Did the beauty knew that she would die when wrote this document? Or she had a vision in a dream, where the seven sculptures came to life and threatened that they would make something terrible with her if she would not leave all his state Blaise? About this dream she told her more than once. And was it a dream? Or Lucian actually walked at night in a crypt, where the statues threatened her? A little drug or alcohol plus a nervous state and it easily seems to you that marble comes to life, wings are moving, and stone lips whisper threats and promises. So Blaise said about Luciana’s hallucinations before, but not now. After all, she recently revealed those secrets about which she had only suspected.

Blaise held the bloody testament in the hands. Who would think that in the end it will turn out to be not necessary. On the one hand, this document was fabulously enriched her, on the other hand only returned to her what she had and what was taken away.

Luciana died because of her love. She knew from the very beginning that this would happen? Everyone knows that it is impossible to fall in love with the descendants of the Rosier’s family. Their family is damned. Therefore, former friends gathered to destroy them. But Blaise survived. Did the statues save her? Why then after the fire they did not answerl her?

In any case, Blaise took vengeance. The wealth, left by Luciana, was not more valuable than her taken life. Blaise would prefer to keep the mistress than now to look at the will and not know what to do with it.

To live with Luciana and use her estate was much more profitable than to own all herself. In her company Blaise could continue to be incognito. She has long been considered dead. Why will someone know that she is still alive? She is already accustomed being a shadow. It is more easier to cooperate with the Mafia and search through the criminal world tracks to all Rosiers’ secrets.

Blaise lit and easily exhaled into the ceiling with a stream of smoke. She began smoking only recently. The feeling was such that inside the lungs settled the dragon and rushes out.

Legends about Edwin, this is what she adored. The books of the Dragon Empire cycle lay on the table all in bookmarks. Blaise bought them in the book shop quite recently. Something attracted her in the title or design. She herself did not remember, but it was the first thing she bought for money, and not just took away. Since then, she has reread books many times. The protagonist was so reminded her Damian that she wanted to beat the wall with a fist from the depression. Damian was also beautiful as an angel, but a strong dragon dreamed inside him.

He could all! As a demon, he had just escaped from the hell, he was able to show such miracles, which is not for the power of a single juggler. And how he fought! He had so much energy and agility, which seemed to be alone able to lay whole troops. A truly demon!

«You missed such a guy,» the smart voice of the mind suggested immediately.

Blaise only shrugged. Everything came out stupid and spontaneously. Because of Luciana. She was charmed of Luciana. And all the familiar stereotypes collapsed.

Now Luciana is dead, and the memories of Damian suddenly became very painful. The fact that he disappeared is a serious loss. Blaise understood it only now, as if waking up from the anesthesia of unnatural love. The lack of Damian now affected the same way as if she had lost some vital organ from her body. For example, the heart.

Damian will no longer return. He went overnight and dissolved in the world of urban streets, as a demon who came out of hell and returned back to it. It was useless to call him or search. He had no addresses, no phone, no account on social networks. Where will you find him? She didn’t even know him last name. And the very name of Damian could not be real.

On the night of their acquaintance, Damian emerged from somewhere from the darkness, as if Ginn, easily sprouting from the roof, and suggested:

«Give me a name! Anyone what you want.»

According to him, only the hostess could choose the name to impart his personal demon, which he considered herself. Blaise considered him a charming psycho. But some way or another, the transaction between them was concluded. He will help her to take revenge, she promises him hers soul. Her enemies will be destroyed and she from mistress of demon will turn into his property.

The terms of the transaction were not fulfilled until the end. Damian helped her to accomplish revenge, but he did not take her soul. Or taken away? Blaise did not even know! Does the absence of a soul feel in the body? Suddenly, what she became so insensitive, as it is now, is there a soulless? Her body lives, and the soul remained in the claws of the disappeared spirit? Then it is not surprising why Damian is not coming back. He got his. Although it seems to be with the death of the last enemy, it turned out that he now does not want her soul from Blaise, but her love and her body.

He appeared suddenly and suddenly disappeared. He snapped like a genie from the lamp, he helped and disappeared, did not leave any traces.

Contrary to all his insane confidence in the fact that he is a real demon, they with Blaise did not conclude any blood contract and did not conduct any magical rites. Unless not count the art of fighting and owning weapons with something sorcery. When Damian had sought her in the struggle for life, it seemed that he would give her some kind of witchcraft. The case was not at all in the ability to use weapons or fists, but in an incredible force, which woken in her with his every lesson. He was engaged in her taking struggle until her fragile slender body would seem to be iron. Once she understood that he could fight against enemies herself. Then the question was only about her enemies from flesh and blood. They belonged to the most tops of society, and to remove them was very difficult. And barely faced them, it turned out that the real enemies were from marble.

It all started from the night, when a noisy holiday ended with a massive murder. Friends and business partners who came to the party ruthlessly crushed everyone the family Rosiers’. Besides Blaise. Suddenly began the fire and interference of some mysterious force did not give them to touch her. In the morning, her corpse did not find on the ashes, probably they were looking for her to kill. At this night, she became acquainted with Damian, and as if she had hit in the other world. He seemed to be able to become invisible and to make invisible any accommodation that occupied on business rights. Such an aura of invisibility, like around him and his affairs, hung usually around Rosier’s crypt. Therefore, the enemies did not destroy the crypt, but they assigned all estate of Blaise.

They were seven. Alive people from flesh and blood, they were from the elite, they possessed a great influence and wanted her death. Is it a joke? But she also had seven patrons. Blaise believed, despite the misfortune that happened to the family that she was protected by the statues. She was prayed before them, but they were silent. And the only one who responded to her prayers about revenge, stated that he was a demon who came for her soul. In fact, he turned out to be her only patron. As well as a teacher and a mentor. Damian opened her the science to survive. And the statues in the crypt remained just a useless decoration. Like all shrines. You can pray to them. They will not help, do not come to life. But no matter how funny, the statues came to life when no one needed their help. As soon as the last enemy lay in the coffin, as angelic wings waved coldly, there were exhortations that they were ready to fold all the treasures of the universe to her feet. After all, she is the last descendant of the Rosiers’ family. It just happened that they should put the whole world to her feet. Where were they only when the enemies killed her whole family when the blade was brought to her own throat? Why didn’t they come to life when she appealed to them?

How easily patrons became her enemies! You just need to answer prayers on time. In addition, the legends of the family that, together with the patronage the angels bring a terrible evil, there was no fairy tale.

The first gift that the seven of the crypt brought Blaise, was the crushed Luciana’s corpse. That night she woke up, feeling someone marbled next to her. It wasr trying to strangle or to hug her.

Blaise remembered that the Rosier’s family takes his roots from one elected Virgin and seven marble sculptures. It so happened that the founder of the family practised witchcraft, somehow he got these statues or only invited them from other worlds. He was looking for a special bride, and when he found her, he began to build a palace for her. Allegedly, this palace was supposed to become a luxurious gift for a wedding. In fact, it was a crypt for seven marble angels, where he was going to bring his bride to sacrifice her to them. But for some reason the statues chose her.. From her began the clan of Rosier. Thus, the family was half a flesh, half of the marble.

Blaise did not feel herslf marble. Unless when she fought. And she also did not want to have sex with sculptures. The story of Delayla, who gave birth to the first child of Rosier from seven alive sculptures, could be both invention. But the living sculptures themselves were not the the fiction.

As soon as the seven deities of Blaise, whom she prayed, came to life, as she understood that she called them in vain.

The insight appeared suddenly and left an unpleasant precipitate. She realized that they are so cruel that it was suicide to worship them.

It is difficult to break, but even more difficult to escape from her gods, barely stopped believing in them. Blaise has long understood that it is impossible to hide from them. She can only fight against them. Firearms, knives, leaks, hammers, even witchcraft – In this case, all means were good. But not all worked. Marble is not a flesh. It was not important for the angels from the crypt, that she no longer wants to believe in them. The main thing is that they stubbornly believed that she, the last of Rosiers’, still belongs to them. This is where self-defense was required.

She needs protection from the fact that it used to be her main shrine. Who could believe it! From birth, the child inspire that he should divide the faith of his ancestors. And it does not matter: it is correct or fiction. So Blaise inherited from the family faith in seven marble angels. She was deceived since childhood inspiring her that marble patrons of the family could help with something. In fact, assistance was required from them.

Over the centuries, the angels from the crypt easily deceived people. But with Blaise, this focus did not pass. Probably because they came too late. It was necessary to respond to her call when she prayed them. The deities are needed to someone who feels weak. Since Damian has awakened a crushing force in her, Blaise did not want to believe anything else. But not to believe in the angels and the murder committed by them was no longer possible. See – it means to believe.

In addition to the visual effect, prosecution began. The angels knew how to surround the victim and drove into the trap. She managed to catch and cope with Setius.

Blaise even did not know exactly what she wanted from Mario when she brought him the head of Setius. So that he coped with the remaining six enemies for her? Or so that he proved with his death in the crypt, that the angels are invincible for an ordinary person? Unfortunately, he proved the second. The hope on the fact that the strongest head of the mafia cope with the witch phenomenon turned out to be in vain.

Here Damian could help. To call him an ordinary person did not turn the tongue. His madness made him equal with the demon. Probably, people really say that crazy with their inspired mind already in life belong to the devil. Their body continues to live, and the reason is in hell. Damian was able to make the most incredible things. The devil was exactly settled in his brain.

Be Damian nearby, and fight against seven marble enemies it would be much easier. The trouble was that Damian was not near. Nothing. Blaise used to cope with the difficulties alone. It was Damian who taught her to this. He invested in her fragile body practically witchcraft. It seemed that the bones were iron. Blaise squeezed and crushed the fist. The spikes of iron roses (so it called bracelets) they shoved on the wrists with formidable weapons. Will not lucky who wants to intercept her hand. Spikes on bracelets are designed to tease meat to bone.

Blaise was not afraid to go down to the crypt, where in the dark between the sarcophagus, stood the seven statues. From the corpses of Mario and her girlfriend there is no trace. The drawer was behind the threshold of the crypt empty and full blood. The marble head disappeared. Curious where, if it is still not at the same place? Setius stayed, as it was, with a stump of neck.

Today, none of the statues came to life and did not even led the wing. If the statues have been drunk as much blood as it was in all Mario’s clan, then their laziness is not surprising.

In any case, Blaise entered the crypt when she wanted to go home. In fact, it was her home and her entire dynasty. The crypt was inherited from one descendant to another, as the sanctuary for the accuracy of terrible rites, bringing the influence and wealth. Then the statues allowed to kill the whole family. Why? Blaise peered into cold fixed faces, as if it was possible to read the answer. Why did they destroy all her relatives? Her father? Her brother? Her uncle and aunt, cousins and cousin? Didn’t anyone feel sorry besides her.

«We need one you!»

Tempting voices sounded like echo. They resembled honey. It was necessary to hold the ears so that they would not be captured.

«You are quite enough for us!»

They said like genies from fairy tales, while not revealing marble mouths.

Blaise did not understand.

Is it quite enough? To continue the clan? To coordinate with her in a ritual circle, everyone together and give a new semi-marble offspring? Or is it a whole marble? Do they plan a change of generations? Consider her a fool?

They probably caught her questions, but did not answer. But their marble and seemingly motionless lips slowly stretched in sinister smiles. Only Setius didn’t smile because he now had no head.

In any case, tonight, the angels were not configured to a fight. Not that last time.

Blaise came to them to arouse them conscience with a memorable thing left from Luciana – an advertising poster of parfum. She attached a poster between the wings of two statues. The next morning the poster turned out to be broken into the shreds.
