Cinderella POV. "Where am I," I say out loud more to myself than to anyone else, it's just me in this ash desert, I had no one to talk to, I was even thinking about going back to the school, but I didn't know the way back even. I kept on walking but my legs started to hurt, and I couldn't walk anymore, I think I'd hit the same wall Wissa hit earlier today when the coffee's effect left her body. I sat down on the ground not caring where I'm anymore, I'm really tired, and kind of sleepy, but I was worried if I sleep I won't wake up again, but would it be so bad if I slept and didn't wake up again? "He kicked you out," a teasing voice says from behind me, but it's also a very familiar voice, one that I do recognize, when I looked back I couldn't find the voice owner. "Who's there?" I yell out trying to find who's there but the voice only laughs at me, they laughed. I was scared, I ignored the pain I was just feeling in my limbs and I got up again, I started to run again, I was tryin
Pauly POV. "Wake up, Pauly, time to wake up," I woke to someone poking me, I expected it to be Cinder, she likes waking me up like that, poking me until I wake up. I don't sleep well during the night, most days I stay awake through the night, or I'll just sleep a couple of hours and then wake up, but today I had coffee and a sugar rush followed by sugar crush. I slept in, or maybe not really in, I slept through the night, and it's much more than I usually do, I looked to my side, expecting it to be my ward, Cinder, Cinderella, my friend. "Wissa?" I ask looking at her confused, why is she here sleeping next to me and not Cinder, but then I remembered what happened, we were having a sleepover, it's why she's here next to me. "Wake up, it's an emergency," Wissa says and I sat up looking at her, what's the emergence? What's wrong? She wasn't feeling little right now, I could see that in her eyes and the way she was talking to me. "What's wrong?" I ask her, looking at her worried abou
Cinderella POV. "What are you two doing out here?" a new person asks he's dressed in a military suit, he looks like some kind of badass protection service. "We're out looking for the princess," Pauly answers him as I kept on crying, I didn't have anything else to do right now, just cry, more tears going down my face. "The king won't like this," the guard says. "I'm her guardian angel, it's my job to keep her safe," Pauly tell the guy, but he didn't look very happy about this. "And what about her, where do you belong to?" he growls at Wissa, who cowered back behind me. "I belong to Lilith, and I'm her friend," Wissa says trying to sound strong but her voice was trembling. "I'm sure Lilith would skin you alive for being here," the guy says with an evil laugh, I turned to him with a glare, who does he think he is? Coming here and threatening my friends. "Let's go princess," he says taking hold of my arm, trying to drag me with him, but I just ran away from the king of hell, and g
Cinderella POV. "Ella, Cinderella, big sister," I woke up to that voice along with being shaken awake, I opened one eye and looked to my side, it was Pauly, my angel, at least he wasn't taken away from me, I pulled him toward me, hugging him tightly. "Pauly," I whisper crying into his shoulder. "Hey, hey, it's okay, you're okay," Paul assures me hugging me tight, and petting my back, I woke up crying, tears going down my face. I'm in hell, I'm with Lucifer, and I have an angel who's in hell with me, I have no idea what to do in my life anymore, I want to leave, I want to get back home, I don't want to stay here anymore. "Is Wissa okay?" I ask him, remembering her being in trouble for going to save me. "She's fine Lilith gave her a timeout and that's it, they were all worried about you, I was worried about you, why did you leave without me?" he asks me. "I found something out, but did you know? I need coffee then we'll talk," I say wiping my tears, I just woke up, and I have a t
Cinderella POV. I think my anger and depression are shifting, they are mixing and playing tag in my head and soul, I'm so angry at him, and at the same time I'm really sad, I want to see Lucifer or Nickolai, I want to see him and talk this through."Calling him, are you sure Ella, you're sad and angry and filled with caffeine, maybe sleep on it," Lilith suggests. "Call him or I will find a way to get his attention," I answer her with a growl, and a glare, I'm back to being very angry right now. "He's not very calm either, we don't want you two to fight," Lilith says."He should be afraid of my anger, not the other way around," I answer her with a cold smile on my face. "I'll go talk to him first okay, stay with her Paul, don't leave the room or else," she warns us leaving the room, and going to fetch him."You don't have to talk to him now, maybe calm down first," Pauly suggests. "I don't want to calm down Paul, I'm not going to calm down, I want to leave back home," I say a lone
Pauly POV. I waited until she slept, she's my good friend, she's someone whom I care about deeply, but I have orders to follow, I have to do as I'm told, my boss isn't someone forgiven, he won't allow me to get away with anything, he wants her to be taken care of, he wants us to keep an eye on her and we all are. His last request wasn't the easiest one, my ward, Cinderella, Cinder for short, she's an author, she makes stories up for a living, it's her job, it's what keeps her going. She has a big imagination, she had a beautiful mind, and it's not all full of rainbows and unicorns, I don't think she ever thought of a unicorn although if she does, she'll make something good out of it. Her brain is madness, going in there, would lead you to insanity, she's not grounded, she doesn't like the boring life of the earth or the humans, she prefers her own world, she prefers the madness. Cinderella wrote so far around fifty stories, all of which are different, they run between werewolves,
Cinderella POV. I woke up grumpy, I don't know why my whole body was tired, actually, I'm exhausted, it's like I haven't slept, maybe I'm just jetlagged from travelling, last night, in the club I had so much fun, spending time with Josie and the others, I even met two new persons, they felt like they walked out of my stories, I wanted to see my story characters, I wanted to live in my stories. As I sat up in the bed it felt off, it wasn't my bed, right, It was the bed in the hotel, I'm not home, I looked next to me expecting to see Pauly, my guardian angel or he might be the result of my imagination, or he might be the sign of my insanity, I'm not sure, but I'm going with it, if I'm gonna go insane, then let me go insane, and I'll enjoy the way. But instead of finding Pauly next to me, I wasn't on the king-sized bed, I was in a smaller bed, like the ones I used to sleep in back when I was still living with my parents, I'm in a twin-size bed, and I don't get why or how I came over h
Cinderella POV. "Cinder, love, come on calm down," Pauly says after an hour of crying, I'm done crying, I'm just laying there, trying to gather whatever of my sanity I had left, apparently I didn't have much of it left. "I'm calm," I say, I was done crying and screaming, I'm just laying there, trying to breathe. "Are you ready to get up? To explore?" Pauly offers me and I shake my head no, I'm good just laying here for now. "No, thank you, I'm good," I assure him, closing my eyes, enjoying the feeling of him petting my back and head, I love this kind of care. "Come on, don't you want to see the room?" he asks me again, and I shake my head no, after a while of just sitting down, I decided that I needed to pee. "Do you know where the bathroom is?" I ask him, I like staying here, but I need to pee right now. "I guess that door," Pauly says and I nod leaving the bed I had to jump down the bed was too high, and walking toward the door, turns out it's really a bathroom, great. "Cind

Nickolai POV. "Boss...my sweet boss, I love you," Lilith says meeting me halfway through the dorms, I raised a brow at her, what is she talking about? She left the office not so long ago and now she's back telling me she loves me? Lilith doesn't love me, she respects me as her boss and king, but she doesn't love me, maybe she's happy that I finally gave her Pauly, but not enough to say she loves me, especially not after the scolding I received from her. "What happened?" I ask Lilith knowing something was up, there's no other reason for her to be nice to me right now, maybe Pauly talked Cinderella into becoming his permanent sister and they want to take her and the answer is a clear no. "Don't kill me," she says, good she remembers I can kill her and I might do it if she pushes me too far. "I won't, what's wrong?" I ask her, I'm not in a killing mood right now, she's safe for now at least. "Well, Ella isn't in bed," she says looking everywhere but at me. "And why not?" I ask with
Cinderella POV. Where are you going Lilith, I think to myself following her out of her room, I was bored and I'm alone, I want to get out of here, so I decided to follow her. I kept a good distance between the two of us, making sure she won't notice me behind her, for a demon lord, she doesn't pay that much attention to things behind her, that includes me. She went toward the headmistress's office, is she going to ask Madame M. about Paul? Or me? Or I don't know, something. I didn't walk in, of course, I stayed back eavesdropping on her chat, I might have to report back to Pauly, he needs to know if it's something about him. I didn't have to stand very close to hear them talking, it was the voices I expected, it wasn't Madame M and Lilith, instead, it was a mix of other voices that I didn't expect to be here, I think I walked on them having a meeting. I heard the voice of Nickolai, my said cheater dom, and Miss Blair my teacher, along with Sir Nicholas, my favourite teacher and chara
Nickolai POV. I'm not mad, I'm fucking furious, how did all of this happen, it wasn't meant to happen, it's really bad, terribly bad, and I can't do anything about it right now, she's refusing to talk to me, she doesn't even want to sit with me, or sleep in my room, she prefered Lilith over me and now she's sleeping in her room instead of mine. I called a damn meeting, everyone should be here, this is a fucking emergency, Ella was so near slipping, I swear she slipped when I had her going down for her nap, but then something broke in her, she didn't want to be a little anymore. "What did you do to her! You did something! She saw something!" Lilith yells at me, she's even angrier than me about this. "Saw something? What did she see?" I ask her, Ella was in class, she was sleeping, and then when I came she was out, she was weird. "I don't know you tell me, boss! What did you do to her!" Lilith yells at me, she knows better than to yell at me while I'm in such a bad mood, doesn't sh
Cinderella POV. "Are you okay? Did you talk it out with Lilly?" he asks me, but I just smile at him. "I told her enough," I say, I didn't want to tell her much, I want to talk to him, I trust him but I don't know how much I trust her. "You good?" he asks me and I nod my head yes, assuring him, I'm fine, Lilith came back with the little pup, laying over her shoulder, feeling very tired I guess from all the running. "Come on guys, let's go eat and get ready to sleep," Lilith says holding Pauly's hand and walking all of us toward the cafeteria, Nickolai was there, but I did my best to avoid him, I'm having a sleepover, true we started early, but we are having a sleepover. "Don't you wanna sit with me? Talk to me at least?" he asks me giving me puppy eyes, the eyes of a traitor, I shook my head no at him. "Ella, use your words," he says getting angry at me, but he had no right to be angry at me I'm the angry one here, I'm the one who got cheated on and is now very hurt the cause of
