"I like married women, especially the ones that are as sexy as you, hehe." He replied."You don't know who my husband is." Lucinda replied, fastening her footsteps, although the heels were hurting her feet."Is he a god or something?" He asked and tried to move closer to her. Her hair hardened, so she used it to hit him on the face. "Ahhh!" He screamed and stood back, clutching his face. The other guy also attempted to approach her, but this time she used her hair to hit him hard, causing him to fall to the floor, and the other guy ran away in fear. She gritted her teeth, glaring at the guy on the floor as he grunted in pain and stared at her with fear written all over his face. He got up on his feet and started running away from her. Lucinda smiled and turned invisible, flying into the sky. Lucinda passed through the roof of their house and fell on top of the bed, sighing heavily. "Medusa, are you home!" She yelled."Hmm, you are back. After you misused the money to buy a lot of foo
"I will tell you another time; I need to go to work now." Lucinda said heading to the door when she paused to look at Medusa."Oh, Medusa I forgot; I'm out of cash. Can you give me transport fare?" Lucinda added, making Medusa chuckle."Take money from my bag; I thought you didn't need it because you wanted to literally fly to work every day," she teased."I can do that, but just to be safe, I believe he already thinks of me as a weirdo; he even taught me how to eat." Lucinda said."Seriously? What can’t you eat?" Medusa inquired."At first, I couldn't grab the noodles, and secondly, I didn't have a mobile phone," she replied."Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have ordered a phone for you." Medusa responded."No thanks; my boss already offered to get me that." Lucinda said. Medusa gasped, opening her mouth wide in surprise."H-He must be suspicious of you already for your behavior; you need to take weekends to learn human ways. I don’t know a lot of human ways, but I th
Lucinda took a deep breath and retraced Ralph’s steps to the wall that led to the secret passage. She pushed the brick in, sighing, and the walls opened. She quickly entered the passage and looked into the abyss. She smiled to herself and spread her wings, flying into the dark hole without using the rope. She flew across the lava, heading to the gate, feeling refreshed as she was using her wings freely in there, holding tightly to the bag. She landed on the floor as she realized she was almost at the gate; she tried to make her wings go away, but they were still visible. "Ugh! What’s happening." She muttered to herself, trying to look at her wings. She tried again, but it wasn’t working."Why is this happening now? My wings are stuck." Lucinda said in a sad tone, trying her best to make her wings go or disappear, but she was still trying to access all her powers; she couldn’t teleport or disappear. She started hearing loud footsteps."Who is there?" She heard Deacon’s deep voice,
Lucinda opened her mouth wide in shock; she was about to react to the hug when he disappeared with her. In the blink of an eye, they were no longer in the company, but they were on the street. He quickly pulled away from the hug. He held tightly to the sheath in his hand with a determined look on his face and started walking away from her in the direction of a building that was in the middle of the street; she followed him closely.He was approaching the entrance of the building when the ground started shaking continuously under their feet, making them unable to stand. They were both struggling to keep their balance when they started hearing heavy footsteps, and the door of the building was burst open by a demon. Immediately, the demon stepped out of the building, which collapsed like an earthquake. A sand fog covered everywhere, making them wave their hands in the air so they could see the demon. The fog finally went away. Lucinda stood back, staring at the demon with wide eyes, hop
"Don't mention it's my duty as your husband to help you; there is a lot of energy in that place, so it’s not suitable for you to fly there." Lucifer advised."Seriously?" She asked and frowned. "Then I will have to be using the rope then." She said pouting her lips. "That will be good, so you don't get into that type of situation again." He said. The fresh scent of freshly brewed coffee entered her nostrils. She lifted her face and saw Mr. Josh extending a mug of coffee to her."What is this?" she asked, putting the mug closer to her mouth in an attempt to drink it. "Don't drink it!! It's hot!" he yelled. She didn’t listen to him and took a sip; the hotness she felt in her tongue made her spill the remaining coffee on the floor, staining their shoes in the process. "I told you not to drink it." Mr. Josh said, shaking his head as he stepped back, staring at his shoes. Lucinda pulled out a few wipes from a box on her desk, handed them to him, and squatted to
Darkness took over the sky. Ralph and Lucinda went out to eat in the nearby restaurant, again sitting across from each other. Ralph stared at the menu and then at the waiter."I would like to order a mini-sized fish pizza; what about you, Lucy?" He locked his gaze on her."I will also like that." She muttered, smiling from ear to ear. "Make it extra-large." He said to the waiter, who bowed and left.The pizza was served, and Ralph opened the pizza as the steam from it hit his face. Instead of eating it, he paused and stared at her, while she took a slice, blowing it in an attempt to eat it. She slowly looked up, and they both locked eyes. She avoided his gaze and took a bite of the pizza. "Can I take you home after the meal?" he asked, as she choked on the food and started coughing continuously. He quickly ordered water from the waiter and handed it to her. She took the water from him, gulping it down while she hit her chest with her right hand."Thank you," she said, dropping the gla
"I'm chatting," Medusa muttered, operating her phone."With who?" Lucinda inquired."Just this handsome guy I met online," she replied, still glued to her phone."Hmm, are you thinking about dating a human?" Lucinda asked."Of course, your husband didn't say I couldn't, did he?" Medusa questioned."No, but what if the human finds out that you are a hundred-year-old demon who doesn’t age? Well, what do I know? Suit yourself." Lucinda shrugged and walked out of the bedroom to use the restroom. After a bath, she carried her phone from the living room to the bedroom, where she sat on the bed next to Medusa, glancing at her phone. "Medusa, can you teach me how to chat?" she asked. Medusa raised a suspicious brow. "You are not allowed to chat," she scoffed."Please teach me; I command you to teach me," Lucinda stated."Alright, but only talk to people you know," Medusa said, taking her phone. "This is WhatsApp; it’s a place where you can chat with the people on your contact list," Medusa s
"Take this; I want you to answer this survey for me," he said, giving her the document. She quickly took it from him, glancing at it."What's the survey about?" she inquired."It's our new project, and I just want you to review it. Don't get me wrong, you are not the only one I am giving this to." He lied, avoiding her gaze and pretending to look busy by operating his computer."Okay," she said and went to her desk with the document. She placed it on the desk, grabbed a pen, and glanced at it. "I wonder what he is thinking; I wish I could read minds." She muttered to herself and opened the first page. Her eyes landed on the first question. The first question was ridiculous, and it was. "Does the King of Hell exist?" "Hmm, I don’t know if I should answer this." She thought to herself while unknowingly biting the edge of the pen. She decided to put "No" She moved on to the next question, which was asking what demons eat. She frowned as she felt like she was being interrogated by someo
Ralph's anger boiled as he confronted Mr. Josh, his voice filled with fury. "Where is the demon's horn I left in my office earlier?" he demanded, his eyes piercing with rage."I don't have it. I thought we left it in there," Mr. Josh replied nervously, shrinking under Ralph's intense gaze."Don't lie to me! I hate liars! Did you or did you not take the horn?" Ralph's voice came out through clenched teeth, his frustration evident."I didn't, I swear," Mr. Josh pleaded, visibly frightened. Ralph loosened his grip on Mr. Josh's collar and released him, his frustration evident."Shit!" Ralph exclaimed angrily, hitting the wall with force. In his anger, his hand pierced through the wall, causing it to bleed. The employees in the room huddled together, scared and silent."I'll have to investigate this matter myself. Every one of you is a suspect," Ralph declared, pointing accusingly at the employees. He turned to Lucinda and beckoned her to accompany him to the CCTV room. Lucinda followed h
The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting golden rays on the busy city streets. Ralph and Lucinda found themselves in the midst of chaos and danger. A terrifying demon with twisted horns and fiery eyes was wreaking havoc as it moved through the neighborhood."Quickly, help those people evacuate and guide them away from the demon," Ralph commanded, his determined voice standing out in the commotion. Lucinda watched in awe as Ralph climbed the walls of a nearby building like a gecko, defying gravity with amazing agility. While Lucinda was momentarily amazed by Ralph's skill, she quickly focused on a house that was about to be the demon's next target. Without wasting any time, she hurried into the endangered house, helping the frightened residents and leading them to safety. But as she worked, the demon's destructive force reached the house. It crumbled with a loud crash. Among the chaos, Lucinda heard a woman's voice."My money!" the woman cried, reaching out towards the debris of her
"Since forever," Lucinda replied. Medusa reached for a spoon on the table, but it slipped from her grasp and clattered onto the table. Medusa, sitting across from her, grabbed the spoon and tried to dip it into the food, but it fell again."Get your own spoon," Lucinda said, holding her plate tightly.Medusa pouted. "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Just let me have a bite," she pleaded, inching her spoon closer to Lucinda."No," Lucinda snapped, snatching her plate and heading towards the front door. Frustrated, Medusa hid the spoon behind her back. Just then, Lucinda's phone rang, interrupting the tense moment."Grab my phone, please," Lucinda requested, and Medusa reluctantly walked over to hand it to her. Lucinda balanced her plate in one hand and held the phone to her ear with the other."Good morning, sir," Lucinda greeted with a bright smile."Good morning. I'm calling to let you know that when you arrive at work, feed Deacon first, and then meet me in the project
Lucifer leapt out of bed, hastily grabbing his robe as he transformed into his beastly form. With determined steps, he made his way out of the room, leaving behind a sense of restlessness in his wake.Lucinda groggily rolled out of bed, her mind clouded with confusion. She shuffled into the bathroom, seeking solace in the warm embrace of the water. As she finished bathing, she emerged from the bathroom, the weight of her thoughts still lingering.Puzzled by her own reactions, Lucinda couldn't help but wonder what was happening to her. She felt suffocated when Lucifer touched her, and the once familiar connection seemed distant. In her inner turmoil, thoughts of Ralph began to surface, and she questioned if her feelings were shifting towards him.Driven by a need for answers, Lucinda mustered the courage to confront Lucifer in his chamber. The atmosphere was tense as she approached him on his imposing throne. His gaze met hers, filled with an icy coldness, reflecting the underlying tur
"Bye-bye," Ralph waved, smiling from ear to ear, as he took the horn from Deacon's mouth. The demon spread his wings and flew towards them, and Ralph watched him with wide eyes, smiling widely. He placed his hand on Deacon's body, and they both disappeared.Lucinda looked at Lucifer, giving him the "I told you so" look with a smirk. "So he managed to get hold of a demon's horn," she remarked.Lucifer grinned, clenching his fists. "So he will be able to create the antidote," he replied."Who says he will be able to create the antidote?" Lucifer said, smiling evilly."What are you going to do?" she asked curiously."The demon's horn can be stolen, you know?" Lucifer beamed, and Lucinda stared at him in a strange way. "I'm sure Ralph wouldn't be so careless as to let the horn slip out of his grasp," she remarked.Lucifer carried her in his arms and flew into his chambers, placing her firmly on the bed. He closed the door with a wave of his hand and transformed into a human. He lay across
In the distance, a dilapidated house stood tall, its once majestic facade now marred by time and neglect. The desolate landscape surrounding it exuded an air of eerie desolation, with decaying trees standing like skeletal sentinels, their gnarled branches reaching out to the heavens. A thick blanket of fog hung in the air, shrouding the scene in an ethereal haze. Ralph tightened his grip on his sword, feeling the weight of his purpose in his hands.Deacon with shimmering scales, observed Ralph's determined stride, his eyes betraying a mix of concern and wisdom. "And where do you think you're going, Ralph?" Deacon inquired, his deep voice laced with caution.Ralph turned to face Deacon, a spark of determination lighting up his eyes. "To confront the darkness head-on," he replied resolutely, his gaze fixed upon the foreboding house. Deacon let out a soft sigh, his warm breath mingling with the cold air. "Impulsiveness has hindered you from capturing a demon thus far," he remarked, his t
Author's POVIn the dimly lit car, Lucy sat beside Nathan, her mind burdened with untold secrets. The soft glow of streetlights painted fleeting shadows across their faces as Nathan turned to her, breaking the silence that hung heavily in the air."Lucy, you haven't told me about your family," he said, his voice tinged with curiosity and concern. Sensing the weight of the unspoken words, she gently placed her hand on his face, a tender gesture to delay the inevitable conversation."Please, let's talk about that some other time," she whispered, her voice laced with a mix of vulnerability and hesitation. Nathan averted his gaze, the disappointment evident in his eyes, and the car slowly came to a stop in front of Lucinda's house.With a quiet resolve, Lucinda opened the car door, her determination shining through every step as she walked away from Nathan, leaving their unfulfilled conversation hanging in the air. Nathan's plea for a goodbye kiss hung between them, but instead, she offer
As Nathan keenly observed me, I could sense his awareness of my attempt to change the topic. Feeling a bit flustered, I muttered, "Oh, popcorn," and gestured towards the nearby popcorn vendor. I walked towards the popcorn area, my eyes fixed on the golden kernels, while Nathan followed closely behind.Reaching the popcorn vendor, I turned to Nathan with pleading eyes and asked, "Nathan, could you please buy some popcorn for me?" I shook his hand continuously, hoping he would agree.Nathan flashed a warm smile and reassured me, "Of course! Popcorn is a must when you're watching a movie." He approached the vendor, ordered two servings of popcorn, and paid for them. Handing me one of the containers, he said, "Here you go." I eagerly took a piece of popcorn, savoring its sweet flavor as I closed my eyes momentarily.Curious about my enthusiasm, Nathan asked, "Do you really like popcorn that much?" I opened my eyes and playfully glared at him. "I've only had it once when I saw Medusa eatin
As I sternly confronted the man, I demanded, "Let go of the chair." He grinned, clenching his teeth and defiantly dragging the chair with me. Frowning, I stood my ground and declared, "No, I won't let go." Determined, I twisted the chair in his hand, causing him to release it in pain. Holding his injured hand, he looked at me in surprise and asked, "Who are you?"Unwavering, I replied, "That's not the issue. Why are you treating your wife as if she is a stranger?" My glare intensified as I spoke."She doesn't want to work. She keeps stealing my money all day," he retorted, looking at me with a mixture of frustration and accusation."She is your wife. If you don't provide her with an allowance, she may resort to taking your money," I explained, casting a compassionate gaze at the woman who lay on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably."Who told you I don't give her an allowance? I do, but she still feels the need to steal from me," he countered.Turning my attention to the woman, I squatt
