"You look just like her, Destiny," he said with a smirk. I struggled for air, losing so much blood."Don't worry, Destiny. This isn't the end for you. I can't kill you yet," he added."Go to hell," I mumbled, spitting out blood from my mouth, which landed on his face. He laughed, looking down at his fingers."I'm already in hell," he said emotionlessly.Suddenly, he screamed in pain, and Beelzebub's head separated from his body. I gaped in shock—it was Lex who had cut it off.Beelzebub's blood splashed all over my face, covering me in crimson. The white cloth I wore was deeply stained. I looked at Lex and weakly smiled."You're losing so much blood," he said, helping me up from the ground and placing my hands on his neck for support. The rest of the group was already up."This should lead to the exit," Matthew said, and we followed him from behind."What about Destiny? These steps are too much for her. She is weak and dying," Kelvin muttered. I gave him a soft smile."Maybe we should
The room was filled with darkness, devoid of any light to testify whether it was day or night. I lay down on the soft bed, sporting a frown. My hair was messy, and I looked as though I hadn't slept in days, with dark lines under my eyes. I absentmindedly played with my belly button, placing my left hand on my stomach. Outside the room, I could hear the birds singing and creating a cacophony of noise."Morning," I mumbled.It had been a year since I had been locked up in this place. I couldn't even keep track of the date and time. Madam Jenna was the only one who came here every day, bringing me food and informing me of the date. She treated me like a human being, unlike the others. I couldn't fathom how my extended stay in this room would be of use to Beelzebub.Madam Jenna walked in with a tray of food, balancing it in her right hand while using her left hand to close the door behind her. She offered me a soft smile and sat down beside me on the bed, making contact with my body."How
I silently prayed that Master Yung would come for me. Whether he came or not, I couldn't let Beelzebub turn me into a demon without a fight. "I will find my way out of here," I said to myself.But with Master Yung's help, it would be easier. Master Yung is very strong and skilled, and I needed him in this desperate situation. Today was the second day, and by midnight, Beelzebub and his men would come for me to perform the ritual."Haha," I laughed at the thought. Beelzebub thinks he will turn me into his demon and I will just sit and watch. That will never happen.I wished I could see outside. I looked up at the little window, but it was too far and I couldn't reach the top. Even standing on the bed wouldn't be enough.I sighed, feeling anxious. "What will be my fate?" I thought. Madam Jenna entered, snapping me out of my daydream."My child, how are you?" she asked, holding my hands."I don't know how I feel right now, Madam. I don't want to become a demon," I said, looking into her
I scoffed at the name Beelzebub called me; there was no way I would ever become a demon, and to make things worse, he wanted to make me his queen.Beelzebub stood up from where he was sitting and walked up to me, standing in front of me, holding my chin with a smile. "When you finally become a demon, you will become my queen," he said. I didn't move or say anything; I kept hoping Master Yung would show up any minute before things got weirder. I quickly brushed his hand away from mine."Let me go," I mumbled. He turned his back and returned to his seat."Please proceed," he said, raising his hand and sitting down majestically on his throne. An old woman, looking like a witch, stepped forward. I started getting nervous as she brought out a knife and used it to cut my hand, then she brought out a black cup and made my dark, red blood pour inside it."What the hell?" I whispered, crying in pain.Three men came rushing in, breathing heavily, and bowed their heads to Beelzebub, whispering s
"We're going to die!" I cried out, praying the door would open soon. And almost immediately, the door swung open, and we ran out, pushing our legs to their limits."Where is the porter that will lead us out?" I yelled, breathing heavily."Give it a minute," he muttered. The demons didn't give up either as they kept chasing us relentlessly."Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, frowning."No time for explanations now," he replied.We dashed into the forest that would guide us to safety. The last time I was here with the guys, it was different. There was no forest; the porter led us straight to his castle. Beelzebub is a wise person; I could tell by his actions and everything. He must have changed the porter.I continued breathing heavily and stumbled, hitting my forehead on the ground.“Fuck…” I muttered underneath my breath and a hand was stretched to me, pulling me up."This is not the perfect time to take a nap, Destiny!" Master Yung yelled. I glanced behind, hoping to see the ugly bea
I averted my gaze, hoping he wouldn't notice how I kept staring at him from head to toe. What was wrong with me? Why was I looking at him like that? I felt embarrassed. "Destiny," he muttered coldly."Yes," I said in a whisper, hoping he wouldn't do anything nasty. I kept thinking, what if he strangled me to death or used me as his breakfast?He stared at me with that cold expression once again. "I didn't call you here to kill you, Destiny," he said, as if he had just read my mind and I released a deep breath."If I wanted to end you, I would have done so a long time ago," he added, then disappeared into another room, presumably the dressing room.My legs were getting tired from standing. He took longer than I expected before coming out from his dressing room."What... Can I do for you?" I mumbled, biting my lips hard."How are you?" he said, shocking the hell out of me. I cleared my throat, having forgotten how to speak."Ummm... Why am I here?" I muttered instead, trying to sound po
I stood there, still in shock. She looked so real; it was June, the only difference being her hair color. I could see the shock in her eyes too."What are you doing here?" she asked, and I felt totally disappointed and sad. Her question broke my heart into a thousand pieces. All my life, I had hoped June wasn't dead. Then suddenly, I saw her, and instead of running to give me a hug, she ended up asking the most painful question on earth."How did it happen? We thought you were dead," I said, ignoring her question. I couldn't care less whether she missed me or not; I ran to where she was and hugged her tightly, the cold water splashing on my body and wetting my clothes, but I couldn't care less. June was right in front of me again. I cried in her arms, and I could hear silent sobbing coming from her too.She slowly put her hands on my back, hugging me back. We stayed like that for a while until I finally broke the hug. "How is Nixton? Is he also alive?" I muttered, with hope written al
"What are you doing outside in the middle of the night?" he asked, with his hands crossed behind his back."What are you doing in my room?" I replied, realizing how I had just spoken to him."I'm sorry," I apologized, and he said nothing. He wasn't frowning this time, nor glaring at me. I couldn't read his emotions, whether he was upset or not; he just stood there, staring right in front of me.I cleared my throat, hoping I hadn't offended the devil. In a normal situation, I should thank him for saving June from dying, but I couldn't accept the fact that he turned her into a demon."Thank you," I mumbled, biting my lips, and he raised one eyebrow."For?" he muttered."For not killing me," I said, changing what I was supposed to say. I decided not to bring up the topic of June; he probably didn't know June was my friend and part of our mission."I guess you have seen your friend June," he smirked, and I gasped in shock."Don't be surprised, Tiny," he muttered, shortening my name, and I
