"Stay with me for the night," he whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. His hands were wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.Why wasn't I complaining, I wondered. As I gazed into his big brown eyes, I noticed their beauty. Whenever I looked into them, an indescribable feeling stirred within me. He gently rested my head on his chest; I could smell his captivating scent. I tried to look up at him and noticed that he was already sound asleep, his long lashes looking amazing truly the embodiment of perfection.I didn't even realize when I driftedcomfortably off to sleep in his arms.******************************************************************I woke up, and his face was right in front of mine. I still couldn't believe I had spent the whole night in his room. He was still sound asleep. Glancing at the wall clock, I realized it was past six in the morning. My gaze returned to him, and I found myself admiring him once more."When you're done admiring my f
Three days had gone by since the unusual encounter with Sofie. Life had become quite normal, and Sofie and I had become close friends. She was kind and sweet, and I liked her a lot."Time to wake up!" I shouted, giving June a playful nudge. We were having a sleepover in Sofie's dorm, and Sofie was busy combing her hair in front of the mirror.For so many years, my life was all about fighting demons and never doing things girls my age did. But now, I finally felt alive. Sleepovers, makeup parties, and girl talk had become my new normal."Let's go outside," June suggested, and we all agreed. I hadn't explored much of the castle, so it sounded like a fun idea.As soon as we stepped outside, chaos erupted. People were running, and the ground shook as demons emerged and gathered in one spot."What's happening?" I asked June, feeling confused."We have an unexpected visitor," she explained.I instinctively reached for my sword, but then I remembered I was wearing a white short gown, not my
Lex sat beside me on the bed, holding my hand with a loving smile on his face. Sofie and June had left us alone, disappearing to God knows where."Do you know how much I've missed you?" he said, gazing into my eyes and gently cupping my face. His sudden change in mood filled me with joy."What's the matter?" I asked, placing my hands on his soft cheek."I don't think Beelzebub will let us live here," he confessed, and I sighed."But I'll take you out of here. We don't need him to decide. We can both take him down if he gets in our way," he added with determination."No, no, no, we're not taking anyone down. He didn't hurt me during my stay here. Let's just leave in peace," I said, struggling to understand my own conflicted feelings. Living Beelzebub had somehow broken something inside me, but I couldn't put my finger on why I felt this way."Okay, fine, we should go in peace," Lex agreed.Without wasting a moment, Lex brought my face closer, leaning in for a kiss. I closed my eyes eag
My friends stood before me, looking tired and unkempt, as though they hadn't bathed for weeks. I rushed to them, giving them a tight hug. Oh, how I had missed them."I've missed you guys," I said, hugging Camila tightly, and she returned the hug, sniffling at my back. She seemed on the verge of tears but held them back. They must have gone through so much, I thought.Kelvin, on the other hand, eyed me strangely, his gaze immediately shifting to Beelzebub."What are you doing with this monster?" he spat, his voice filled with anger."He was the one who put us inside the demon's lair," he continued, his hair standing on end, and his fists clenched."Will you just calm down, or I'll finish what I started," Beelzebub roared in response.Gold shot Beelzebub a death glare, as if he were ready to attack him at any moment."This is not the time to fight, guys. I'm glad you're all alive," I said, walking up to Kelvin, but he stepped back, avoiding me."You were here all along, and we kept look
The vast ocean stretched out before us, and as I looked at my team, I could see the fear in their eyes. The enormity of the challenge ahead was apparent to all of us. We needed a substantial boat to navigate this formidable body of water, but Beelzebub had warned us that the sea could swallow us whole. Beelzebub came to our aid and provided us with a porter."We should take a moment to consider how we're going to get through this," Kelvin suggested, taking a seat on a large rock.I joined Kelvin on the rock and tried to understand his frustration. "I don't know why you're so upset with me," I said, and he simply shook his head."I'm not mad at you, Destiny. I understand that you were also a prisoner, but regardless, we're free now," he replied, and I smiled in acknowledgment."I believe I have an idea," I said, capturing the attention of the rest of the team as they stood up."I will attempt to part the water so that you can pass through," I proposed, and they all nodded in agreement.
Seething with anger, I occupied my throne, plagued by the regret of letting her go. I was convinced she wouldn't survive the treacherous ocean. My palms sweated, and I found myself tapping the ground impatiently with my foot.Suddenly, the door burst open, and one of my men entered, his demeanor visibly solemn."My lord," he began, his voice laced with apprehension. "They safely passed through the portal," he informed me, and I nodded in response, using my hand to dismiss him.Soon after, Sophie entered, her expression marred by a deep frown. She wasted no time in voicing her displeasure."I thought you loved her," she said, anger radiating from her every word."You know the ocean means death, and she can't make it. You're weak, Beelzebub, incapable of fighting for your love, just sitting here, watching her die," she said, her words stinging with anger.I gritted my teeth in annoyance and retorted, "Watch your tongue, or I might assist you in cutting it off." Sophie, unfazed, simply r
I continued running on the water's surface, creating ice with every step. The waves and cold breeze brushed against my skin, and the ocean's surface tried to pull me under, but I instantly froze it and ascended. I could see the exit; I was almost there. A smile spread across my face, knowing that nothing could hinder me now.I was aware that Beelzebub might be watching from a distance, or perhaps, he had lost sight of me because I had covered a great distance.Now, I stood at the edge of the ocean, stepping onto the dry land. It wasn't sandy but rocky beneath my feet. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.My eyes searched for the others, but they were nowhere to be found. Annoyance welled up within me; they couldn't have left without me. Just as I was about to turn back, a powerful force struck me, knocking me to the ground. I fell onto the hard, bare rock, my head making a painful impact, and I lost consciousness.****I tried moving my left hand, but it felt stiff, just like t
Before I could say anything again, Kelvin transformed into his wolf form, breaking the chain due to his large size and creating a distraction. Camila seized the opportunity to run toward me.I held her hand, bringing her closer to me. Now, Kelvin and Camila were safely standing with us.Lucifer, still emotionless, suddenly burst out into loud laughter."Do you think you can escape from here? Do you even know where you are? Try looking outside, princess," he smirked, raising his hand to point to the window opposite us.I walked to the window, my eyes fixed on him, and then I gazed outside.I gasped in shock, unable to believe my eyes. It was a dead end, and it was dark. There was no light, and I couldn't see anything outside. The sky wasn't blue but rather a deep red in color, something I had never seen before.I attempted to look again and saw some white hands, as if they were trying to wave. I couldn't quite understand what they were, and the darkness made it difficult to see clearly
I walked out of my kingdom, sword in hand, with Beelzebub at my side. The city had scattered, demons feasting on helpless humans. Knights stood behind us as I screamed, "Attack!" They rushed forward, engaging in battle.Entering the chaos, a massive demon approached. Two horns adorned its head, and a tail snaked behind—a grotesque and intimidating sight."The great ice princess has lost her powers. How can you fight now? I will kill you this moment," the demon taunted, advancing. In response, I used my sword to sever its right leg, causing it to fall in pain.I thrust my sword into its head, blood splashing across my forehead.Immediately, a sharp pain shot through me as a demon used its long nails to dig into my back, blood streaming from my mouth. Despite the agony, I retaliated, thrusting my sword into its stomach from behind. Turning around, I faced the fallen demon, swiftly cutting off its head.Holding my bleeding stomach, I surveyed the battlefield. The demons I had killed vani
The others rushed over as demons surrounded us, chaos unfolding. Unable to handle the onslaught, Beelzebub teleported us away before Lucifer could strike.Now in a forest, Kelvin and I carefully laid Camila against a tree, her neck still bleeding."I should call for help," Beelzebub suggested, and I nodded in agreement. He went to seek assistance, explaining that the magic porter couldn't cross the ocean."Guys," Camila's weak voice called. We gathered around, holding her hands."I think this is my end," she said, coughing blood."Don't say that. Help is coming; everything will be okay," I reassured with a forced smile."We can't lose another person," I added."Hang in there, please," June pleaded."Promise me you will end this war for all the innocent lives, revenge your mother, and revenge us," Camila weakly requested.Tears fell uncontrollably; wiping them away, I wondered how I could end the war without my powers."Why are you saying this? You can't die; you'll be fine," I insiste
"Don't you dare touch her," Kevin's voice echoed from behind me, his sword dripping with blood.Lucifer laughed mockingly. "I have taken away her powers, so you can have her. She's useless now," he said, dropping me on the floor, and I felt as if all my bones had broken. Weakness consumed me, and I sensed something vital had been taken away.Kevin helped me to my feet, and I gazed at the others, noticing concern written all over their faces. June walked up to me, scrutinizing me as if I had something on my face."What's wrong, guys? Why are you looking at me as if I have something on my face?" I asked weakly."Your hair, it's no longer white; it's black now," she said, and I ran my hands through my hair.The laughter of Lucifer brought me back to reality. "Your powers are gone for good," he said. I raised my hands, attempting to use my ice powers, but nothing came out. The emptiness I felt now made sense – I had nothing left inside of me.I tried to hold back tears, but I couldn't. I
