This was her one shot at getting out of here alive. Arabella knew she had to give it all she could.

While the woman, Ramona, was busy drawing a sharp eyeliner with jet black ink on her eyelids, Arabella continued to fidget in her seat. She was restless, didn't know how to start, or what she could say to convince the woman.

"It'll do us both some good if you could really stay still." The lady snapped and Arabella raised her eyes to look at the woman.

Ramona stared back at her with empty and unkind golden orbs. Did she really need to bother? The woman did not look as though she was willing or ready to help anyone.

"I'm sorry ma'am. I just…" Arabella fought back the tears that rushed to her eyes, but it was too late.

The woman had already caught sight of her teary eyes, and took a step back from her.

"You're going to ruin everything I've been doing for the past ten minutes if you attempt to shed those tears." She cut in rudely, but Arabella paid her no mind. She allowed the tears t

    Several gunshots occupied the room, and even the space beyond. The air was dusty, it reeked of the sour smell of metal and dirt. He wondered why Arabella had been brought to a place like this. The man should have at least taken care of her. Maybe, just maybe he would not have been so mad. Klaus and Markus stood above a pile of already dead bodies, blood littered the ground around them. Once they had found a means to get their car out of the "desert", as Markus had called it, they decided to call for help from a friend, a demon who owed Markus quite a lot. They didn't say why, although they didn't need to. Every demon in the real knew of Klaus's "wild goose chase" for the woman he had shown off times without number. It was good to know this wasn't just another one of his many endless clues, this was for real. Arabella was here. Her presence enveloped him the moment he stepped his feet into the rusty gates of wherever the hell they were. "We should really search inside. I have

    "Where is he?" Klaus asked, through his demon link with his best friend, panting heavily. Markus heaved a long sigh. Klaus knew the man was probably exhausted from all that had happened in the past few minutes…or hours. Hell! He could barely tell how long it had been. "In the car, where he ought to be. I caught him trying to run, Klaus. The dude was pretty persistent. But I knew better than to let him out of my sight, knowing you would have made me an immediate replacement for him." Markus replied. Klaus's jaw hardened as he spoke, but he didn't mind Markus. He has to accept it, the dude was pretty funny when he wanted to be. "I'm glad you know that." He heard Markus chuckle. "Uhmm, Klaus." He called out. Klaus narrowed his eyes as he stepped out of the building. It was only a matter of time until the building exploded. He had given orders for the army of guards to fill the building up with explosives, and blow it up once they were out. Whoever remained inside would definitel

    Klaus stood still, he watched her being lifted from his arms, and placed into a stretcher. He swallowed hard, his throat seemed to hurt from all the screaming he had done in the past few days, and hours. The drive to the hospital was barely thirty minutes. When they finally arrived, Klaus made it his point of duty, his sole aim, to make sure that the girl, Arabella, was properly taken care of. "Send the best doctor you have! I don't give a fuck about the cost!" He screamed into the eyes of the nurse, when she told him their best doctor was on duty in a different ward, and it would take "a lot" to change his workstation, as was the "hospital's policy." As they placed her into the stretcher, Klaus stood still, watching while his right nostril twitched. He did not want to admit it, but he was scared. The doctor he requested for had finally arrived. He did not know if the man was truly the best, but from the number of nurses that flocked around him, and the air of authority he possess

    Arabella awakened to the melody of the birds chirping outside the window. She did not like to admit it, but she had been awake long before she opened my eyes, however, that did not matter. The pain in her head had subsided. She was surprised, all it had taken for her to regain her sanity was only the Lord knew how many hours of sleep. A small sigh escaped her lips as they parted gently. She scoffed, waiting for the burning in her throat to continue, but it didn't. Arabella's jaw hardened. How could most of the pain had disappeared in a matter of hours? The last time she opened her eyes, she could feel the world tremble as it rested on her head, and every other muscle in her body. Now, it was almost as though she was a good as new. Oddly strengthened, she tilted her neck to the right. Her eyes closed as she did so, but immediately she sucked in the scent of the ever familiar cologne, her eyes flew open. Long legs clad in jet black colored suit pants, skin of his hands hidden

    Klaus Lavon's lips thinned into a smile. He could see that Arabella was more than visibly shocked, she was astonished, stunned. Her jaws could barely close, her eyes threatened to shoot out of their sockets. She had every reason to be shocked, Klaus knew. He felt worse when he was told, the shock was still visible all over his face. He stretched his right hand to her right cheek, and tilted her chin to look at him. When her bulging eyes fixed on his, Klaus leaned in to place a kiss on her forehead. "Calm down, Bella. There is nothing to be shocked about, okay? Do not let shock overwhelm you."As he spoke, her shoulders slipped down slowly. He could tell she was slowly starting to relax, but there were still a lot of questions in her eyes, a lot of emotions that sparkled in her golden brown orbs. "I…I don't understand." She started to stammer, still looking at him. "Human and demon babies are rare. I doubt I have ever heard of anyone before. Is the baby going to human or demon, o

    Klaus rushed out of a room with a hardened jaw, and a stern glare powerful enough to cut through any piece of metal, glass or any substance at all. Yes, if a diamond rock was placed in front of him, his glare might have probably been more than enough to cut through that too. As he matched out of the room, Klaus could not help but think about the many ways he wanted to hurt the old man. After everything Arabella had told him, mercy was not an option. Markus found him walking out of Arabella's ward room, while he was walking back from escorting Mrs. George. His eyes narrowed on his best friend as they grew closer. Klaus did not mind that Markus stared at him as though he had seen something out of the ordinary, or that Markus's lips thinned into a bright smirk when they drew closer. "Woah! What got you so worked up? You really look like you're about to smash someone, something, anything at all. Are you alright?" As Markus stood close to Klaus, he could see that his friend was far f

    Arabella's eyelids parted slowly, she was awake once again. To be frank, she could not count how many times her eyes had flickered open and close in the last couple of hours. It seemed like it was all she could do. She had barely opened her eyes when she heard the door click open and close. Arabella tilted her neck towards the door, but she could not see anyone - or anything - the room was pitch black. Arabella heaved a sigh as she tried to narrow her eyes on the dark shadow. It must have been master Klaus, she thought to herself. After all, no one else had a real reason to come into the room besides him. However, she could neither see nor feel anything. She closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, before turning back towards the door. "Master Klaus?" She called out to the darkness, but he did not respond. It was unlike Klaus, he would have rushed to her the second she called out to his name, no matter what. Arabella cleared her throat slowly. "Master Klaus? Is that you?" She c

    Klaus Lavon rushed past the doors of the hospital. Adrenaline coursed through his veins as he pushed the doors apart, staring at one thing and one thing only; the empty space in the corridor that led to Arabella's room. He had not taken the threat of the old man lightly, not at all. He would have been a fool to do so, Klaus was very well aware of that fact. A man who had been powerful enough to infiltrate his household, bribe his guards, and move a woman from one city to another as a kidnapped hostage was powerful enough for his threats to be taken seriously…very seriously. As he drove earlier, Klaus found pleasure knowing that the man would be dead by the time he got back. He would have been burnt beyond recognition. Even his soul would not be able to recognize his body from the depth of hell. The thought alone was enough to make him happy, very happy. However, he was haunted by the man's last words throughout the drive. He wished they could get to the hospital as quickly as the

  • Slave To The Demon King   Happy Endings

    Arabella was in the kitchen, surrounded by pots and pans, chopping boards and ingredients scattered all over the counter. She was in the middle of preparing a meal for Klaus and the rest of the family, despite Mrs. George's warmings due to her condition, when she suddenly felt a warm gush between her legs. She does not make anything of it at first, and continues chopping away on the vegetables in front of her, until the contractions in her lower abdomen grow more frequent, and much more painful. The warm gush continues to trickle down her legs, contrary to what she had believed would happen. Her eyes widen with shock and fear as she realizes that her water has just broken. She quickly moves to the kitchen table and tries to catch her breath, trying to remember what she had read in her prenatal classes about the first stages of labor. She screams and reaches out for the kitchen counter. She grips it with her right hand, and fights to suck in deep breaths. She realizes that it's t

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Baby Shower

    The baby shower was to be held in a beautifully decorated backyard, surrounded by blooming flowers and lush green trees. The warm sun shone down on the guests as they gathered around a table filled with delicious treats and colorful decorations. The table was covered in a crisp white tablecloth and adorned with pink and blue balloons, symbolizing the impending arrival of a baby girl and boy. Soft music played in the background, adding to the serene and joyous atmosphere.Klaus had made sure everything was done to perfection. From the decorations, to the food, to the cakes, everything was arranged in an elegant and luxurious manner. He had also decided to cater to the planning by himself. Arabella's hormones made her too emotional and dramatic to get any serious planning done. And he also did not want to stress her. In one corner of the yard, a group of guests sat on comfortable chairs, chatting and laughing together. They sipped on cool drinks and nibbled on sweet desserts, taking

    Six months later The beeping sound of monitors could not take Arabella's eyes off the beauty on the screen in front of her. She could barely understand or see anything, seeing as the image on the screen was in black and white monochrome colours, but she knew what she was looking at. There, on that screen, she would see the image of her baby. She turned to look at Klaus, who was seated by her side. Together, they blushed as the doctor explained the image on the screen to them. The baby was already seven months in her womb, before Mrs. George suggested they make time out for an ultrasound scan. At first Arabella had not known what she meant, it was her first time being pregnant after all, but Klaus was able to explain to her the benefit of doing one, before she agreed to come all the way to the hospital. She was nervous when the doctor asked her to pull her shirt up, and rubbed a transparent liquid that smelt a lot like methylated spirit, but felt like gel on her stomach. A few

    A diamond heart shaped ring stared back at her, glistering from within the red crystal shaped box it rested in. For a moment, a very long moment, Arabella could not blink. No matter how hard she wanted to tear her gaze away from the ring, and look into the eyes of the man she loved, she found herself unable to do anything else, besides stare into the eyes of the ring. When she could finally look away from the ring, it was to glance around the room once more. The rose petals, the candles, the daisies, the lights on the roof that screamed, "marry me, please", the piano recorder, the scent and aroma of love and romance that filled the room. He had singlehandedly prepared all of this, just to ask her to marry him?! He was really telling her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and never apart, not even for a small moment! Arabella…Arabella did not know what to say, she was at a loss for both words and actions! The room spinned around her head, and she failed to be

    Laughter, the sweet sound of chattering children erupted from all around her. Once again, Arabella opened her sleepy eyes to find herself in a sunny field of dandelions, all around her. The air was sweet and breezy, each part of the field contained different flowers, she was happy to be standing amongst dandelions. She looked up at the sky, and her eyes met with the bright blue clouds. Arabella was happy, very happy. It gladdened her heart to see somewhere filled with joy and happiness, and it only became better when she noticed the happy children running all around her. "Come on! Let us play!" One of them, a pretty little girl with dark hair and round brown eyes pulled the hem of her night dress. Arabella smiled at her. The girl let go of her dress, and joined the other children to run around. There were five of them in total, three boys and two girls. "Come on! Come on!" "We are going to have so much fun together!" "I cannot wait! Can you see it? Let us run to the sun and pl

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Successful Party

    The party was a success, and Klaus knew he had to thank the universe for blessing him with such good luck. If he was being honest, it meant a lot to him that his people had shown up to support he and Arabella. It meant that he could stop to imagine waging war with the entire underworld, because he would have done so if that was what it took to keep Arabella safe. As they drove back home, Arabella leaned her head on his right shoulder, while her hand rested on his thigh. He could tell she was exhausted, and he knew why. Klaus found himself blushing at the thought of all that had happened with Arabella at the party hall. After sneaking away with her, he took her into an empty room, where he made love to her with her back pressed against the wall. He was gentle, as gentle as he needed to be, knowing that he could not be too rough, or he could risk hurting her and the baby. And Arabella? She responded to his body in a way he had never thought possible. Her body reacted to every kiss

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Toast

    The first thirty minutes of the party went well, and she was yet to feel the burning urge to turn around and run, that had to count for something, right? Right. Klaus walked into the banquet hall beside her, hand in hand. Mrs. George followed them behind, she was here to make Arabella more comfortable. She knew it was the only reason she would have been asked to come along with them to a party or a feast, that really did not concern her. Arabella forced her mouth close once she stepped into the hall. The high red polished walls, large round table that contained nothing less than fifty people, the meals placed on the table, and the furniture; from the gargoyle sculptures, to the exquisite chandeliers, and the punch fountain that looked so beautiful at the center of the table, all of it made the room appear so dreamy. Arabella had never seen anything like it before. It did not take her long to know that the people in the room were not ordinary. Of course, they were demons, but this

    The day had finally arrived. Klaus and Arabella had both agreed she would meet his people on the evening of the weekend, and since then, Klaus had counted down the seconds and minutes that would lead them up to that very moment. That evening, while she was getting ready, Klaus went over the details of the meeting once more."We will be meeting them at the banquet hall." He started to say. Arabella had dropped her brush on the dressing table, to turn to look at him. Klaus did not pay attention to the look in her eyes, he was terrified of what he would find; something like fear, that would make him back down. "A feast has been prepared. You would be dining with us, Arabella." Klaus could remember seeing her smile. He had a feeling the smile was to tell him to be calm, to reassure him that everything was going to be alright. To tell him that she could be strong enough for the both of them, it did not matter how, or what she needed to be strong for. As he paced about in the balcony

    Arabella stayed behind at the table to finish her meal with Mrs. George. After father and son had both excused themselves, Arabella and Mrs. George stayed back to enjoy their dinner in peace. Maybe Mrs. George was able to eat in peace, but Arabella was not. All the while, she kept on thinking about what Klaus's father had intended to ask her, and what the answer to the question would have been. Mrs. George looked up at her at one point, a small smile on her face. "I do not think you should beat yourself up about it, Arabella. If it was anything very important, you should know master Klaus would never keep it away from you." Arabella dropped her fork, and cleared her throat. She stared deep into Mrs. George's eyes, before speaking. "I know, I know. But I can't stop myself from worrying. It sucks, it really does." Mrs. George heaved a sigh. She reached out to Arabella and touched her wrist gently. "You'll be alright, my dear. That is all I really need you to know." Arabella did
