2023-03-03 21:15:59"Fine, but you owe me"
He smiled reaching out for her hand
"Owe my foot"
She muttered under her breath stretching out her hand, the blood almost filled the room but Aurora's hand was long enough to reach his
She felt him wrap her fingers in a tight grip
And then there was nothing
His body suddenly went limp, he couldn't feel his nerves, and he felt dizzy for a second...
Aurora observed that and held his scarf tight, but unfortunately loosened it, revealing his face...
Aurora froze as they both stared at each other...
She didn't know who he was, but Ryan's face appeared in the view
She didn't know who he was,
but she could recognize his face.....and his eyes...
That one look of confusion turned into complete shock.
"Your eyes"
She whispered trying to figure out why he had noticeable red eyes and how his iris seemed so pale and lifeless.
It was like looking into a mirror
..a reflection of what someone had once been.......
Immediately, Ryan pulled her away from himself and tried to quickly cover up his face...
"Oh I see, you don't want your identity to be seen......my bad, I'll go close the door"
She said heading to the opened door
"Wait!!!!"
Ryan yelled but Aurora had already shut the door
"You fool"
He walked fast towards the door and tried to open it but it was no use
"What's wrong?"
Aurora asked innocently
"That door can only be opened from outside"
He said as he also struggles to open the door
She gasped
"Oh! I didn't know that if I had known I wouldn't have opened it"
She pouted staring at him intensively, he was indeed good-looking, she couldn't take his eyes off him
His hair is long enough, the dark brown strands almost reach his ears. His jawline is sharp but not too much. He has a full face, but his eyes...his eyes...how can they be this color? It's almost black...the most beautiful shade of red eyes Aurora has ever seen....they look so mysterious. Aurora shook her head to snap out of it. Ryan noticed he was staring at her
"This is your fault, you know"
He said calmly but in a harsh way
"Because of you and your dead husband, we are stuck here"
"My husband? For the last time, he is not my husband, I was looking for someone and I got stuck in here"
"Arghhhhh, you moron"
Ryan sighed
"You're the moron"
Aurora muttered under her breath but Ryan heard just right
What did you say, miss?"
She huffed out the air in irritation and looked over at him
"Nothing, nevermind"
He smirked in amusement, then turned away and leaned on the wall.
"I don't hurt ladies, don't let me start with you"
"Yeah right"
She muttered again
"That's it"
He stood up, walked towards her, and choke and slammed her against the wall
She screamed and struggled in his arms, kicking and biting and hitting as best she could. Ryan was no longer smiling, all his attention was on her instead. He squeezed his forearm tighter around her throat and felt her gagging for air. He didn't want to kill her yet, not quite yet.
But there was something satisfying about choking a girl. A lot of people thought he wasn't like the rest of them, but they were wrong.
Ryan knew how to kill someone without leaving any signs. And this... this would be fun.
His grip tightened, he could feel her weakening under his hold but the look of pure horror on her face was worth it.
Her mouth fell open, eyes bulging, and lips quivering
While doing this, Ryan observed something, something that have never happened before...
His strength.....
His strength was.....
His strength was weakening...
He knew that she would have been dead by now, this never takes more than five seconds to end someone's life...
The last part of his vision faded from his sight, his strength gave way and his arms dropped down slowly. The girl slid off his chest onto the floor and coughed hard, then stared back at him with wide terrified eyes. She started shaking violently, tears ran down her face
Aurora was crying, Ryan realized.
His demonic powers are getting weak...
How?
That's not possible, no powers are greater than his, no powers at all are greater than his...
No... No one is that strong.....
Ryan didn't remember anything anymore. The only thing left in his mind was a feeling of dread. This can't be happening...
He looked around and tried to focus on something besides his surroundings. Everything seemed to blur together. All color disappeared from the world, the sounds, the smells. The only things left in his view were Aurora and the walls and the ground, everything was blurry
And then the ceiling fell in......
He fought so hard not to lose consciousness...
The only thing that could surpass his strength was...
"No, it couldn't be"
He muttered kneeling on the floor and trying to stay awake
"It can't be stone, she can't have it"
He looked at Aurora
And then he saw something, some kind of shadow flitting across her body
Something that made his heart stop in cold shock
He blinked rapidly to clear his sight and the shadow stopped moving around Aurora's body
And then he saw her face
It's Aurora...
It's her face...
Aurora just stood there trying to get what just happened and how she is still alive...
"WHAT ARE YOU?"
Ryan yelled
"What are you talking about? Do you need help?"
She said she didn't understand what was happening to Ryan...
He wasn't bleeding but she felt that he was going to die soon...
"HOW DO YOU HAVE THE GEMSTONE?"
He asked again trying to control his vision...
"What gemstone?"
She said trying to hold her tears, she can't watch another person die in front of her...
"Oh my God"
She said walking towards Ryan
"Get away from me!!"
He yelled again trying to control his vision...
failing utterly.
"I don't know what you're talking about"
she whispered back to him
Ryan took a deep shuddering breath and focused
He could make the pain go away, he just have to focus and calm his nerves, but with Aurora around, he couldn't do much to get rid of the pain.
He had to concentrate, try harder...
Ryan closed his eyes again, the shadows were gone. But the pain was still there, so very present. He wanted it to leave, to vanish. For the pain to disappear completely...
He took another deep breath, and the pressure increased once again. His lungs burned, a sharp pain shot through his head, and his whole body felt numb.
He clenched his jaw. He felt something, it was something different... It was familiar, somehow. Not his powers, this was something else. Something inside of him. Something new... he tried to concentrate on it, to see if he recognized this, maybe it was a demon thing, something he could use
The pain subsided almost instantly.
"Are you okay?"
Aurora asked even though he was the one who tried to murder her earlier
Suddenly, the door opened making Aurora shriek
Aurora gasped when she saw the tall slender man with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He had a scar running diagonally across his nose bridge, a scar like a lightning bolt that looked painful. The man walked past Aurora without acknowledging her and walked toward Ryan
Aurora got up from the floor and used the opportunity to leave the room
"Ryan!!"
The man ran towards Ryan trying to figure out what happened
"Are you okay?"
"Lucas, don't let her get away"
He said trying to catch his breath
"But...."
"I'm fine Lucas, get her, she has what I'm looking for...... Don't let her get away"
Lucas nodded reluctantly and started running after Aurora

"I'm fine Lucas, get her, she has what I'm looking for, she has the gem...... Don't let her get away" Lucas nodded reluctantly and started running after Aurora * * * * * * * It didn't take long before Aurora ran out of the bar, she ran as fast as she could like someone was chasing even though she didn't know if that was true or not... She stopped for a while and looked around to check for Ryan, but no sign of it... Suddenly, she saw the same man that was with Ryan in the bar earlier, she noticed that he was heading towards her direction. She immediately got scared, she ran as quickly as she possibly could, trying to find a way out, something to help her, but she couldn't see anything, and there were too many people on the street, too many obstacles and she knew she had to hide now... But where? Where? Her eyes scanned desperately around the street when she suddenly noticed a small alley. She was so relieved, she didn't know what to do. She tried to hide there behind some garbage

Aurora woke up to her horror staring bluntly at her ceiling, she couldn't believe it... After everything she did to convince her grandmother to let her leave the house and now she is moving away, from all those things she built for herself and all those memories that she loved with all her heart... And what's worse - She has no idea where she will end up, she's never been outside of this city before so who knows where she'll end up in a place like that but if she were lucky maybe there' would be something she could do to make her life worth living again Aurora sighed and reached over to see the clock on her wall, it was 4 AM and her body was screaming at her to go back to sleep, but she couldn't find it in herself to close her eyes again when she already knew what she had to do today She got out of bed as quietly as she could and slipped into her slippers and grabbed her keys and headed towards her grandmother's room to take a look inside, she slowly opened the door to see her grand

"Grandma, you can't just let me go!!!!" Aurora yelled despite being dragged to a carryall "Grandma!!! I'm your granddaughter..... grandma!!!" The words were muffled and unintelligible by the bag being shoved in front of her face. Aurora's hands flailed as she fought for balance against what would be her death... but she could not escape... Aurora was trapped. There was only one thing she could do... yell. "Grandma please!!" It took all her strength to scream into the bag, her lungs felt like they were burning. She did it again and again until there was nothing left inside.... no air. ***** Earlier before the incident... Aurora rose her head up high, counseling herself on her way to the stream that lay hidden in the forest behind her family's house. The sounds of the wind rustling through the trees and water flowing over rocks, so close. It almost reached out and enveloped her. It was her last day in this town, but the wind was doing a great job calming her down. It brought

"If only I could crush all you nitwits with my hands" Ryan sighed as a gust of wind blew through his hair. He stood up at his balcony, staring at every single people of the town with disgust.."You all made my life miserable, I'll do so by returning the favor" he said looking up into the sky and smiling a littlethe world looked brighter when he smiles. That's why Ryan doesn't smile that much. His lips are always slightly curved downwards, but not a lot."Ryan?"Ryan's thoughts was interrupted by a deep voice, he turned and saw his guard Lucas standing behind him"Lucas...you fucking bitch, I thought I made myself clear that I'm gonna murder you if you come back"Ryan said in a low voice like he wasn't actually serious. Lucas looked at Ryan with sad eyes"Yeah," Lucas said softly as he walked up to Ryan and put his hand on Ryan's shoulder "But you wouldn't really kill me...""You fucker! you know damn well I can't"His low voice responded and smiled"At least you got the girl"Luc

The next day Lucas in his fitted armored suit, walked down the hall inspecting every nook and cranny of the mansion as his job as the head of guards required. It was a rather boring but necessary task, so there was no other choice than to perform it. After he had finished with his inspection he walked over to one of the large windows and looked outside towards the backyard. He could see a group of guards standing there talking in low voices. His duty as an armed guard demanded that he stay alert for any suspicious activity, especially after all the threats and disappearances the house was experiencing lately. Now that Aurora is in the house, he has to protect her from any potential kidnappers. It’s quite an honor to be able to guard her against anything or anyone who might hurt her, Ryan has a lot of enemies and they would use Aurora as an advantage. Of course, Lucas would never allow anything to happen to Aurora or anyone else close to him. "Sir, I have a letter for Lady Aurora"
Last Updated : 2023-03-26Betrothed to the devil Wedding (1st part)
It's the day Ryan and Aurora get married to each other, and that’s all anyone’s talking about. Well, everyone besides Aurora. She doesn’t really have much to say about anything anymore. She just finally accepted her fate, there is nothing else she can do anyway but to get married to Ryan.The thought makes her feel slightly disgusted by herself for even having thoughts like that, but it doesn't make her stop thinking them because of it. She's been trying so hard not to think about him, especially lately. It's hard to not think about the fact that Ryan could make her life miserable. If only she has feelings for him also it's would have made her mood better but she can't fall in love with a person who threatened her grandparents, kidnapped her unconsciously and almost murdered her more than once. But still… it might help if she had emotions for someone, or even if she was in love. Even just the thought that they may get along well together makes Aurora want to puke in the toilet. But

* * * * * * *After some while, Aurora finally came out of the bathroom dressed in her wedding dress, she peeped before coming out, she can't face Ryan after what happened earlier. Ryan wasn't in the room and she just assumed that he had left earlier."That's good, Ryan is gone"She thought, sighing in reliefShe walked slowly towards her bed but then she heard steps outside of her room and someone calling her name, she frowned and ran to the door, she pushed it open and there were five maids standing in front of her"How many maids are in this house"She thought staring at the ladies in front of her, they were actually beautiful, every single one of them, they were dressed in fancy gown and they seemed nervous, they were avoiding eye contact with Aurora at all costs. They looked guilty but why?"Do you all need something?"She asked "Well my Lady, it's time to go, the wedding is about to start"One of them said with a smile"Yes my lady, Lord Ryan specifically asked us to accompany

The man moved closer to her, grabbed her by the wrist, and made a clean cut on her palm , she cried out in pain as the knife touched her skin. She dropped to her knees holding her wounded arm, blood dripping onto the white rug below her. She felt lightheaded, her legs began shaking uncontrollably. Ryan just stared as she cries uncontrollable, a part of him doesn't care at all but he also imagine how painful that will be, she obviously felt pain, she isn't as immortal like him. She screamed and clutched her bleeding palm tightly, the man continued until her hands were covered in blood Ryan was standing in the same spot, watching every detail of it without blinking, he wasn't even feeling anything or even showing any sign of being affected When the man stopped cutting her open, she dropped to the ground with a loud thud while her face started turning paler by the second.

Few minutes later...Ryan was already exhausted, bodies filled the room everywhere, blood and guts scattered around the place making it resemble a slaughterhouse.Ryan stood still panting heavily, covered with a thick layer of grime and sweat, and blood covering his body. He wiped it off his face and turned to face a Gabriel who was approaching him and smirked evilly at him."Wow, you actually killed them all? wow!!"He muttered moving closer to Ryan, kicking the dead bodies as he is doing so.Ryan glared at him gripping his sword, his expression showing no emotion, but inside he was boiling with anger and annoyance."Just get Keith, I... don't want to..."What?"Gabriel interrupted "You don't want to what?!! hurt me?"He added with a laugh"That's what you said years ago""Gabriel!! for the last time! release Keith...he has nothing to do with it...release him...or else I won't spare you this time Gabriel"Ryan warned"Oh come on now Ryan!!!

In the dungeonAva and Keith both sat on the floor resting their heads on the wall, neither of them had any idea how much time had passed but they both found comfort in each other's presence, Ava was glad Keith was there."Hey Keith?""Hm?""Do you believe in fate?""Uhm... I guess so.."He said hesitantly"Me too..""You too?"Keith asked"Yeah, I think it's strange that we managed to meet up in these conditions.""Yeah...."Keith saidThe two fell silent. "Are you gonna find a way for us to get out of here"She asked Keith nodded slowly, still not convinced, even though he tried really hard not to think about what happened earlier."I'll try...."They were both silent for a while, staring at the floor, until finally Keith asked"Hey......."Hmm?"She hummed in acknowledgement"How are you holding up?""Better...."Ava replied, looking back at him"Can I ask you a question?""Sure!!""What about your family members, don't they know you are away or something?"Keith asked and heard

The next day.."Ryan, why do we have to leave immediately, can't we just wait for a few days?"Aurora asked worriedly staring at Ryan stuffing all his clothes into the traveling bag, preparing their bags for travel."No, I'm sorry babe, we need to leave now."Ryan sighed and placed the bag on the couch next to him"But.."Don't worry Aurora, I got this, just relax okay? you don't need to stress yourself for this"He kissed her forehead sweetly before grabbing his luggage"Are you sure you want to take these too? they look heavy and it would probably cause an accident"Aurora spoke concerned.Ryan smiled reassuringly at Aurora"Don't worry about them, I know what I'm doing alright?"He repliedImmediately he heard a knock and Ryan headed towards the doorHe opened it and saw Lucas standing there looking terrified"What happened?"Ryan asked staring at Lucas's worried face"I need to talk to you..."He paused and took a quick glance at Aurora"...in private"He finished drafting his att

Aurora hummed and leaned her head back into his shoulder before closing her eyes.She could feel his lips moving across her neck before a small peck made its way onto her bare skin.She giggled when she felt that familiar sensation on her skin"Morning"She responded softly, rubbing her hand against his arm. Ryan sighed and tightened his grip on Aurora for a moment before gently letting her go. He sat upright and looked down at her with a bright smile.He reached out his hands and helped Aurora sit up, then cupped her face and brought her into a warm kiss."How is my baby?"He asked patting her flat tummy gently, Aurora giggled and blushed slightly.
