The Tiger Prince's Witch

**Twenty-five years after the battle**

Liana, Sean, Zack, Sasha, Xade, and Lara stood ready. They had been training for this day their entire lives. Each of them was put on this earth to destroy those who wished to end life as they knew it. That wasn't going to happen on their watch. Xade looked at his mate Lara. She was a hybrid panther witch. They'd found each other when a panther couple came to visit the king and queen of the shifters. Xade was two at the time, and Lara was one. They gravitated to each other as soon as they were in the same room. Anna and Kamryn explained to Lara's parents what was happening, and they decided to stay in the palace with their daughter. They had never understood why her eyes were white with hints of yellow, making them have a gold appearance, but after talking to the king and queen, it all made sense.

The six of them were not at the palace. This battle was one that they had to do alone without any interference from others. All of their parents wanted to help, but Anna had explained that it was not their fight. They had to trust their children would come through as the scrolls and Satan had said.

Liana was the unspoken leader. She was the one they all looked up to, even though she was the smallest of the group. With her long brown hair and petite figure, she was the spitting image of her mother. She was next in line to take the throne, but she told her parents they needed to keep it for a while. After all, those of the supernatural world live an extremely long time. Liana planned on enjoying some of that time without the stress of the throne. Sean was in total agreement.

"They're coming," Liana said quietly as they waited near the high mountain between the palace lands and the Spirit Energy coven. This was the place that was told to them where they would meet the ones who wanted to end them. As the ground began to shake, the six of them slowly rose into the air a few feet.novelbin

They knew who they were meeting, but they didn't tell their parents. If they knew they were going to fight three demons who were the brothers of Astaroth, then there was no way they would have stayed away. The thing about the Spirit Energy scrolls is that there are certain parts only viewable by the one who was meant to read them. Anna didn't see what Liana saw because those words weren't for her. The ground continued shaking, sending avalanches from the nearby snow tops, but they didn't budge. When the three demons made their appearance from a gaping hole in the ground, Liana smirked. They looked like shriveled-up old men who should have been put out to pasture a long time ago. "Well, if it isn't the terrible pathetic three." She giggled as they made growling noises. "Hello Xornag, Orriuth and Jezanith. We've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'm glad it's finally here." Liana looked smugly at the three demons, who looked as though they wanted to rip her face off.

"Those are big words from a little girl whose mother sent our brother to hell. Consider all of your deaths as payback for the loss of our brother." Xornag said in a voice that sounded like he was choking on gravel.

"You're mistaken. We will not be the ones dying today. It's time for you demons to return to hell, where you belong. Satan said to give you a message. Astaroth is there waiting for you, and he can't wait to reunite you with your brother." The three demons held their tongues from lashing back when they saw the eyes glowing in the six people before them. They looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"We're not scared of Satan. We have every intention of seeing our brother again after we defeat you. We'll have the power to go to hell and remove him from the devil's clutches." Jezanith spoke with pure hatred in his voice. Liana looked at him, and her eyes began to glow even more. It was time to eliminate them. No more playing with the demons. She looked at the others and gave a slight nod.

While Xornag, Orriuth, and Jezanith waited for her comeback, Liana and the others quickly flew into the air high above the demon's heads. They held hands, making a perfect circle while spinning as fast as possible. Their eyes were glowing brightly as they began to slowly come back down toward the three demons while still continuing to spin at high speed.

"What are you doing? This won't work on us. Our magic is too powerful." Orriuth raised his hands, but nothing happened. The six above locked eyes before separating. Zack began moving around the demon's heads so fast they couldn't see him, while Sasha slowed their movements so they couldn't capture her mate.

Liana looked at Sean and smirked as she froze time for one minute, making the demons remain perfectly still. He quickly moved to their heads and held his hands out, sending electric currents through their bodies. As the freeze began to lift off them, the demons started screaming.

While Sean continued sending shocks through them, Xade and Lara flew down over the three angry demons. Together they touched each demon on the head, instantly turning them to stone. Sean gave them one final jolt of electricity, making them turn to dust. Once no dust remained, they waited for the hole to close. Instead, Satan came through it, looking at each of them with a small smile.

"Hello, my young ones. I met most of you when you were too little to walk. I know you were delegated a great task, but you came through just as I knew you would. Thank you for sending the demons back to where they belong. I promise you will have no more visits from those wishing to do evil to your or your families." Liana stepped forward just a couple feet from the devil and grinned. He couldn't help but smile back. She looked so much like her mother; it was incredible. "I don't remember you, but our parents spoke of the gifts you gave us. We need to thank you for making it possible to defeat them. We will be forever grateful for all you have done for our friends and families." She spoke from the heart. Her parents had told them without Satan, they would have lost many of the people they loved. He had made things right. For that reason, he will always have a place in her heart.

"You're welcome, child. I shall take my leave now, but know this. You will now be able to live in peace. I have your back and will make sure that no harm comes to any of you. Please give my regards to your parents." Just as quickly as he appeared, he was gone, and the hole was covered as though it was never there.

The three couples hugged each other in joy. They could finally live their lives. None of them had children yet because they spent all their time training for this battle. However, they wouldn't have changed anything. Being able to protect their kingdom was important to them. They saw it as an honor to be chosen to fight the demons.

They flew back to the palace, where everyone awaited them to begin the celebration. Liana and Xade ran to Kamryn and Anna.

"It's over. Satan said it was over. We are now free of the demons." Liana said as she clung to her mother.

"I knew you all could do it. Now let's celebrate your accomplishment, and then I want every one of you to take a much-needed vacation. When you return, I expect to hear that I will be a grandmother." Liana looked at Sean, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"I think we can make that happen." She said, making everyone within earshot laugh.

Love, family, and happiness are what held the kingdom together. Whether you're a family by blood or by choice, knowing what you're fighting for will always be worth it in the end. Good shall overcome evil if you let it.
