Dance With The Wicked
The death of her sister shocked Belle but that didn’t stop her to step into the mystery of her sister’s murder. But what if those murderers aren’t done by a supernatural being?
Belle’s sister died the day before her marriage. People claimed she had killed herself but Belle didn’t believe the investigation and decided to take it by herself. Everything comes down when she had no rules, and the only way for her to find the bottom of the mystery was to call up a demon. Except, this demon is a willful, selfish, and as handsome as devilish he was.
Extract:
In fear, Belle tried to dash but a hand had sneaked out from the black fog, holding tightly to her elbow.
What followed the tight grip on her arm was a voice that sounded deep— deep enough to sound as though he hell was shallower compared to him.
"Now, now, where are you running, little prey?"
Belle didn't know what she had done. She didn't know what force had caused her to activate what she did.
She didn't know what had happened either as her mind was slow to grasp her surrounding.
But there was one thing she knew after staring back at the bright red eyes across her.
She was looking at a demon.
She had called a demon.

Chapter: The PuppetAs she settled her hand on Gorgolta’s hands, the man instructed, “Imagine the face of the person. You’re doing great.” Belle’s closed eyes moved slowly as she avoided the bad memory and sight of her bloody sister, only focusing on the man’s face that stood behind Damian. She tried to make it clear but alas, his eyes were blackened in her memory. But even though she couldn’t see the man’s eyes, she was certain she had seen every part of the man’s face, starting from his hair down to his neck. Leon looked at the drawing that Gorgolta had sketched instantly. The charcoal shades left dusts over the parchment but the drawing that started from a line slowly formed a face of a person. Meanwhile, back at her home in that afternoon, Damian who woke up felt a sudden itch from his wound that was given by the strange old woman he had seen two days ago. He felt his throat parched and pushed himself from his coach only to feel dizziness hitting his head and his bod losing balance to the poi

Chapter: Elderly Demon Belle followed right behind Leon, finding the two elderly men had quickly jump on their feet and looked behind as if trying to find another way to escape. Leon sighed, bringing the boy in front of him that stopped the two men at once.“Wait! Wait! Don’t harm him!” Shouted the first man whose hair had turned all gray. While the man beside him who looked less older also stopped and raised his hand to show he won’t escape again.“We can talk about this. Release that child,” said the second man.“When did I say I would harm this little one?” Leon scoffed. “Which one of you is Gorgolta?”A faint sigh could be heard from the second man’s mouth as he stepped forward, raising his hand, “That would be me. If you’re business if with me—”“He won’t harm this boy,” Belle cut in. Gathering the two’s attention that looked surprised seeing her face, more startled when he saw her eyes were blue instead of red. She noticed this and offered them a smile to break the tension in the room. “We only wish

Chapter: Uncle Gor“We should go now,” said Leon, offering his hand for her to touch.“I do know his face but I can’t describe it for you well enough,” Belle started, looking at him who was smiling, “Do you have an idea?”“Of course I do,” Leon closed his eyes which she followed before feeling a pull that shake her body that happened in a second. As she opened her eyes again the next second, she found herself in a different space. They were standing in front of a pub where men and women gathered but with most of them ignoring their presence, as though Leon’s presence matter so less to their eyes.“Where are we?” She asked, looking around again at the place they had stood at.“The slum of Hell, where only those who are born from the lowest type of demons come,” he pulled her hand, holding her tight. “In here they would sell anything, even the people they just met in exchange for their livelihood. Don’t stray away from me.”Belle noticed the eyes that watched her after a while. It wasn’t that they hadn’t

Chapter: Repay HimHelios frowned, trying to remember Belle’s face but couldn’t as he didn’t put much thought in remembering the person whom he was set to kill. As there would be no use in remembering the person’s face and name when they would die in the next second. “I don’t remember,” brushed Helios aside, thinking that there was no use in remembering the woman's face again. “I thought Leon would become more obedient now, seeing how he had kept quiet for the few decades. But I could see now how he’s slowly rebelling like what he did in the past. He never learned from his mistakes.”Rachel crooked her eyebrows, folding her hand underneath her bust, “So you’re saying that he brought a witch, is that correct? Can it be the soul of the witch whom you asked for him to bring?”Helios scoffed, as if refusing her words, “He should be done with it by now. I asked him and he told me the soul is already in his possession. If that’s true, the witch must’ve been long dead by now. If everything went to the plan th

Chapter: Other LoverBelle stayed beside Leon until morning, carefully watching his wound and making sure he was at the most comfort. She found out that truly there was no medicine from the side effect he suffered due to breaking the contract.By morning, the blackness that appeared on his arm had disappeared which took around eight to ten hours.“It’s better now, you don’t have to look at it that way,” Leon chuckled seeing how her blue eyes carefully studying his arm.“Is this really the only side effect?” Belle asked him only to see him smile.“My brother could have killed me but I guess he thought it would be a shame since I haven’t finished what he told me to do,” Leon moved his finger, frowning a little that made her worried.Deep down she had the urge to question what Helios had ordered him to do but couldn’t knowing how it would only trigger the same wound to appear again on him. She didn’t want him to suffer from the pain or to have being at unease as he didn’t want to lie to her.“Don’t worry ho

Chapter: Breathed My LastLeon looked at her face, noticing the pain that hurt his heart. He quickly shook his head, holding both her hand gently as a way to reassure her.“No. I do not have a lover,” he responded firmly. “In the past there was indeed someone who I fall in love for. But it was only an attraction.”“But the masked man told me,” she whispered. “It’s a doll,” Leon answered to her. “They don’t know feelings or emotions but perhaps to their mind they associate friendship as lover.”Belle trusted him and nodded but she wondered how the doll didn’t have feelings or emotions as she saw it by her eyes how the doll would risk itself to protect her.“And who is that person?” She carefully questioned, “The one who you fell for.”Feeling Leon’s red eyes studying her, she quickly waved her hand, “It’s not what you’re thinking. I know that it’s been a long time and I’m not asking because I want to put you to the corner. I was just curious.”“I know,” Leon chuckled. He rested his head on the head rest which

Chapter: 2-3: Brainless Hamster-IIIIn contrast to everything else, Smith was practically brimming with joy as he made his way to the chair in front of Victor, his steps heavy with enthusiasm. The moment his eyes landed on the plate of cookies, they lit up instantly, a greedy delight flickering across his face. Without hesitation, he grabbed one before even offering a greeting, only turning to Victor after taking a bite."My apologies, my apologies for being late, young master Victor!" Smith said brightly, crumbs clinging to his lips as he spoke through his chewing. "I truly did try to make the earliest trip to the Duchy, but the journey took longer than expected. I hope my tardiness hasn't displeased you."Victor's gaze shifted away from Jane, settling into nothingness. Those blue eyes, though striking, held no focus, seeing nothing beyond the vague contrast of light and shadow."Is that so," Victor replied, his tone dull, almost dismissive but it did nothing to dampen Smith's mood who had thought he struck gold today.

Chapter: 2-2: Brainless Hamster-IIStanley had sent a total of sixteen maids into Victor's room, all of them eventually killed as Victor was used to having people who was after his room. So when Stanley first bought Jane, it was a whim and also an experiment. He wanted to see if Jane who they said bear a curse would somehow survive Victor and oddly, she did. This should be good... but it left Stanley confused. For all he knew, everyone who entered Victor's room at night was never spared but oddly by the morning Stanley woke up to get rid of her body, he found Victor sitting on his bed with a smirk on his lips as he pointed his finger lazily on the floor. "A wrong maid entered my room at night, screamed, and fainted." It was a simple statement but it felt too strange when it came from Victor's own mouth.So Stanley kept a watch on the girl, wondering whether she had done something that others couldn't but so far, Stanley couldn't notice anything different from her than the other maids that he sent before, leaving hi

Chapter: 2-1: Brainless Hamster-IVictor's blue eyes settled on her and a shudder unwelcomely shook her body. Jane knew that the man couldn't see, at least that's what they have told her, but his eyes seemed to be staring at her neck when his lips curled.Death.Jane had always been close to a brush of death.The first time was when she fell off a cliff during the time she was gathering for herbs. The second time was when she saw that man raised his hand which was holding the shovel.Two times weren't a lot but when it comes to brushing close against death, it was more than enough practice for her to be more aware of danger better than others.And this time, she could feel it, a strong sense of death impending, like a shadow looming on her."Hic."A small hiccup slipped from her mouth.Hiccups were always her biggest weakness. Every time she felt fear, this reaction always comes out from her. It had came to the point that it became an obvious weakness for people who wanted to take advantage of her fear, just like now

Chapter: 1-7: Taming A Monster-IVJane rushed to the top of the staircase, her black loafers making a dull sound as she huffed, finally reaching the highest floor which took more time than she thought it would. A part of her even regretted looking too amazed at the mansion. What will that blind man do to her if she's late? Jane gulped dryly. The severed head... she couldn't bring herself to ask Wren about it but seeing that she was at ease speaking about the young master, Victor Mildred, she wondered if his murders were ever known by the outside world. The butler, on the other hand, seemed to know. As she walked closer to the attic, fear caught her heart, making her nervous. Her heart had thumped so loudly she could almost feel it about to jump from her stomach, leaving her nauseous. "Ah!" A sudden voice slipped but it didn't came from her. Jane's head lifted swiftly to the door at the end of the hallway. She could hear more moans coming from the room, sounding like a cry. And the voice was unmistakably a wom

Chapter: 1-6: Taming A Monster-III"Anyway, I heard that you're going to be taking care of the young master from now on," Wren continued and Jane furrowed her eyebrows at the news. She knew she would have to do business to stay in this mansion, even though she doesn't want to stay, but she couldn't willfully dispose herself from working. In return for that, she felt that this family wouldn't just allow her to leave. "Can I ask... something Wren?" She hesitated before she started but Wren seemed to be more than willing to answer any question she might have. Taking the chance, she continued, "What... kind of family are we working in?" She knew it came as a weird question and Wren acted the way she expected with eyebrows furrowed and her neck tilted to one side of her shoulders as if she was confused how Jane couldn't tell where they were working in. "I didn't really hear much since I came from the countryside," she hoped her words would make Wren less suspicious and taking a glance at Wren's face who seemed to look c

Chapter: 1-5: Taming A Monster-II"How was it, Stanley?"The voice came from a woman in her late thirties, her beauty accentuated by the golden jewelry adorning her and her hair styled into a high, elegant updo. Her eyes rested on the butler who had just returned after pushing Jane into the monster's lair, now standing once more before the lady of the house, the second wife of his master, Lady Piper."She's entered his room," Stanley answered. "The young master should be... enjoying her by now.""Hmph." Lady Piper clicked her tongue softly. "We'll see if she can even survive the first day with him. But tell me, are you certain she's the obedient type?""From what I observed," Stanley replied, "she seems to understand how to survive. If given an order, I believe she'll follow it well. The seller also claimed she was the quietest among the girls he had kidnapped.""Hopefully he wasn't lying," Piper said. Though her expression remained composed, her knee betrayed her, swaying up and down in quiet impatience. "We can't af

Chapter: I Am Happy Now-IIThe guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals.

Chapter: I Am Happy Now-IThe ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

Chapter: Blow Up-IIIGallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

Chapter: Blow Up-II“Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

Chapter: Blow Up-IWhen Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

Chapter: Crystal Ball-IIIGallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.
