2024-10-29 19:42:56Isabelle's POV
I was late. Of course, it was to be expected, but I never knew I was that late. I didn't even hear the bell ring for second period.I walked into Ms. Ligher's English class and all eyes were on me. I hated that. Why can't someone just walk in and not be stared at by the entire class? It's so awkward."Nice of you to join us, Miss. Smith," she said to me as I walked toward her with my tardy slip."I know right. Had a rough morning, Ms Ligher," I emphasized the Miss just as she did."Hmph," she blew a breath out of her nose, "Have a seat, please.""I was about to. Did you want me to stand?" I snapped."I don't know what's gotten into you, but I will send you to the office," she threatened."Look, lady, today isn't my best day. Don't test me," I warned her as I sat down.She didn't say anything else, but cleared her throat instead and decided to move on with the lesson at hand. ApparentRelated chapters

Isabelle's POV "Go out with you?" I repeated after him."Yes. That's what I said."I burst into sudden laughter, "Now why would I do that?""I'd be the very best thing that ever happened to you. I could show you fun and take you around the world; show you things you never thought existed. I could blow your mind," he pitched."I'd never go out with you. You're a rude asshole who's constantly judging me. Not to mention, you have stalker tendencies and you're crazy.""I've never stalked you a day in my life," he defended."Oh yeah? Explain this. You followed me into the girls restroom because you wanted an apology. You're self-centered! You've been to my house multiple times, you've kidnapped me, you've been inside of my house when I've woken up! As a Matter of fact, you've been in front of my face when I e woken up twice! There's so much more! Please, explain that to me, Lucian because I'd love to hear an amazing explanation f

Isabelle's POV "They're by the corner wall. I'm sure they're waiting for you," Maggie said pointing in the direction to my hind left."They?" I questioned."Yeah. I'm pretty sure they were looking for you earlier. Right, Tina?"Tina replied, "Well.. yeah.""Now run along," Maggie said, "I'd hate to ruin your night by bickering with you.""Thanks. That's so nice of you," I mocked. I didn't care about anything that she wanted to say afterwards. I was determined to have fun with my friend tonight.. and whomever she was with, since they couldn't have been apart of the cheer squad.Walking in the direction Maggie point me toward, I bumped into the usual couples who were swapping saliva like there was no tomorrow & the other usual people who were grinding upon each other like it was the only thing keeping them from ripping each other's clothes off. It was disgusting."Get a room, people," I said."Get some c

"If you're the devil, then what the hell is going on? You have hell hounds running around. Oh my god, I just kissed the devil! My life is ruined.. You're going to make my life a living hell, aren't you? Not that you haven't been doing that already," Isabelle rambled.Lucian only laughed at her. She shot him daggers and he toned it down a tad; he bent down and the hound wagged its tail before stopping in front of Lucian. Isabelle could feel the heat emanating from the hound; it felt like she was the one on fire. She rubbed her leg and retreated by a few steps away from the creatures of hell."Probably should have told you to stand back; the heat from them would usually kill your kind, but you're different," he said to her."I knew you were the devil all this time. You and that psychopath with the scythe talking about me dying all the time. It's insane and unbelievable, but I know I'm different," Isabelle said."Good. Then I won't have to

Isabelle's POV "You want to what?" I asked."Are you deaf? Or did you actually not hear me?""I think I heard you, but I want you to repeat it just in case I didn't hear you correctly," I said in shock.He seemed fed up with me already. "You heard me correctly. Now let's go.""You asshole! Do you expect for me to just up and leave with you?""I do actually. If you don't come now, you'll come later. Guaranteed," he stated cockily."Go to hell," I spat."Oh, we're going."I wasn't gonna go. I'd never go with him. That's what I said. I wasn't going to go back on my word. That was five months ago. FIVE MONTHS!! I had my mind set that I'd never go anywhere with that egotistical asshole, but I did. And everyday, I saw the reason why I should've never changed my mind. I actually don't know what changed my mind, and even if I did know, I just couldn't see myself coming to terms with it.Hell
The Devil’s Kryptonite 34. Hot
•Part Two•Isabelle's POV Right now, beyond the balcony of Lucian's castle, I am gazing at hot, red roses as they sway gently in the breeze. I was allowed to visit only certain parts, and as such, this became one of my favorite places to visit. I come here to think; sometimes, to escape and other times, because I'm angry. Just seeing the fiery roses calmed my nerves. My nerves wouldn't need to be calmed if it weren't for a certain someone. Five months here off and on, and I've gotten nowhere. Except maybe now, I think I'm closer to being insane.Time here moves extremely quick. A few minutes above ground could amount to a day here, give or take— but mostly give. Time.. Home.. It all passed me by too quickly. I berated myself for actually coming to this place even if it was beautiful. The sound of steps brought me out of my thoughts. I could tell who it was before they said anything.Clearing his throat, he

Isabelle's POV "This is Yuhan, Lehos, Megi, Acules, and Lena. They're my best underlings. If you need something or if you need to find me, you can ask one of them," Lucian explained to me. I waved awkwardly and they either spoke or nodded to me in return. Megi and Lena didn't seem too happy about me being here."I still don't get it. Why does she need to be here? I'm sure the demons above could have protected her," Lena interjected.Lucian hissed, "Because I want her here and what I say goes. Do you have a problem with it?""No, my Lord. I was just curious as to why you did such a risky thing.""Well that sounds like you have a problem, my dear Lena. I did so because I wanted to. Get out."Without another word, she vanished. The air seemed to be crisp and crackling with hesitancy. Megi spoke, "She's just distraught. She'll get over it soon. I will go take care of her so forgive her, my Lord. Don't punish her."Megi bowed and flashed me a dangerously dim glare before disappearing in

Isabelle's POV The gossip stopped, but Lucian was still being a pain in the you-know-what. He openly held my hand and kissed me even though I begged him not to—even though he knew I'd curse him out afterwards. He would suddenly pull me away from the groups or crowds & he'd rudely interrupt all of my conversations. One morning, (particularly on the first day of the second week of the month) Mother Nature stopped by for her usual visit, but it was heavier than normal. I think Lucian forgot to brainwash my parents because they suddenly asked why there was about sitting next to me in their kitchen. I had no idea how to explain it, but Lucian waved it off and I guessed he brainwashed them soon after. "What was that?" I asked."Nothing. All fixed, isn't it? Are you ready to go?""I haven't even taken a bite yet. Go away," I narrowed my eyes at him. Sometimes, I wished I could tell my parents these things I was going through, but I don't think the

IsabelleWhen I woke in the morning, a stupid laugh left my lips. I knew it was all a dream. There was no way something like that could've happened for real. I yawned and stretched.I jumped up out of bed and ran towards my bathroom. It's my bathroom, right? I shouldn't have to knock. But I totally should have.When the door opened, a tall, nude Lucian was standing in front of me. I thought I was still dreaming. I rubbed my eyes and he was still there sure enough. That's when it hit me."Oh my God, I'm not dreaming," I said. And then I tried to scream but nothing came out. I couldn't even move an inch of my body. My eyes wouldn't close and I was stuck looking star-struck at the bare King in front of me.He looked amused. Apparently, he didn't care that I could see everything of his. He teased, "Have you gotten your fill?"I took a deep breath and shut my eyes. "I didn't know you were here. I swear I'm going crazy."He chuckled and my knees almost gave out. "I need to use my bathroom

The Devil’s Kryptonite 83. Epilogue
* The beautiful end of Lucian & Isabelle *The wall was decorated with plaques and awards, grand achievements that could only belong to the cursive name inked on the honors. "I'm so proud of you," her mom hugged her with a few streaming tears running down her face. "Where are my grand babies?""They aren't babies mom," Bella scolded."Says who? They're my babies," her mom stood her ground.Ares and Artemis had their separate portraits hanging above the mantle, next to the family portrait. Lucian added, "They are waiting for us. We're running late.""Where's dad?" Bella was growing with worry."I'm right here," her dad's voice came from behind us followed by his short footsteps."Then let's go," Lucian ushered them inside the car. The drive was quick and the hostess led them to their table.The table was full with family and friends; Jennifer, Tina, Noelle, Jason, Tyler, & Rick along with her many family members and her two children."Congratulations, Bella," Jennifer hugged her.

Lucian and his wife had just welcomed their beautiful son into the world. Exhausted and overwhelmed, Lucian knew he had to take advantage of this special moment. He looked into his wife's eyes and quietly said, "I figure now is a good time as any." She looked back at him confused, until he pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a sparkling diamond ring. His wife was too exhausted to be surprised, but she happily accepted his proposal. "Yes, a thousand times over." Lucian gave her a sweet kiss. Ares was sound asleep; he had been fed and changed and was quietly occupying his crib. "How are we going to ..?" She began to voice her worries but Lucian hushed her. "You're too pretty to be worried, love. Rest," She succumbed in bliss as she drifted off to sleep, still wearing the bedazzling ring on her finger. Lucian watched in awe as they slept; the way their noses curled and how they looked so innocent, he could tell Ares was borne from her. He was so in love with their little

IsabelleI was still shocked. I was stuck, gawking at the black and white images unfolding in my lap. I was still replaying the technician confirming my doubt."Are you okay?" Lucian asked."I'm two months," I said in shock."Lucian you're not even human. How can you have kids?" "You're mine," Lucian said plainly."That doesn't .. huh." I gave up and slouched into the seat with a sigh."You're going to be okay." Lucian cooed."How am I going to be pregnant in my freshman year of college?" I was going crazy. "It's all just happening too fast.""Calm down. I'm going to be there. For your every need," Lucian caressed my thigh. "It doesn't matter what it is, I will make it happen.""What about class?""I'll come with you and we can sit in my barrier. That way you won't be cramped and you two will be comfortable.""What about after school?" I asked."You worry too much," he kissed my temple. "Just move in.""What?" "You heard me. Move in. We're basically husband and wife already," Lucian
The Devil’s Kryptonite Dizzy in the Dorm
It was the last day of summer and I was saying goodbye to my friends. I hugged them all goodbye and promised to keep in touch. As I drove away, I looked back at them all standing there and knew that I would never forget the summer fun we had. I was ready to start the next chapter of my life, but I would never forget the memories I had shared with my friends. We had spent the last several weeks together, enjoying our last days of freedom before college. We had gone to the beach, watched movies, taken long drives, went to parties, and even had sleepovers. And that wasn’t everything! We had done a million things. But now it was time for us to part ways and pursue our own paths.I was excited to start college but sad to be leaving my friends. I had grown so much closer Jennifer, Jason, and Noelle over the summer. We had shared so many memories together, and I hated that I had to leave them behind. As I began packing for college, I found myself pulling out the photos from our senior trip.

The party was over and I hugged just about everyone as they exited my home, thanking them for their support and their gifts and their time.“Honey, we’re going out tonight,” my mom and dad approached me, looking elegant and ethereal.“Wow,” I marveled at mom and dad. Mom wore a green dress that had an embroidered golden shoulder. Dad donned a black suit with a green tie to match; its diamond-shaped pattern fluctuated between green and golden yellow. “Y’all look good.”“Thanks honey. Number’s on the fridge if you need anything,” she gave me a quick peck to the cheek, careful not to ruin her makeup. They grabbed their keys and I watched their retreating figures step out of the door. All alone now. Oh well!I couldn't wait to get upstairs. I dashed to my room, hurriedly discarding my pants. I sighed as soon as they came off. "Nothing like freedom."I kicked the bathroom door in lightly with my foot, setting my bathroom abright when I hit the light switch. "First thing first," I blew a ki

I stood in line behind my classmates, watching and waiting as the line got shorter. The counselor called my name, "Isabelle Milani Smith." I proudly graced the stage with an unfading smile, ready to shake hands and pose with my diploma.The camera flashed and I walked back to my seat. It was just like we have practiced earlier this morning. I was glad everything went smooth. After a speech from Noelle and Mardrid, we were finally instructed to toss our caps into the air.***********"Honey, we're so proud of you," my mom planted many kisses to my cheek."Okay mom," I tried to get away. "You're embarrassing me.""I'm sorry," she sulked. "Do you like the party? I tried my best.""Yes, it's the best," I beamed. "I can't believe you surprised me." "Your dad will be here soon. He said he had something special for you," my mom shared."Is it a car?" I asked."No," she frowned, "but I'm sure you'll love it." My mom wandered off to the refreshment table, replacing food and refilling glasses
The Devil’s Kryptonite 77. Senior Trip
"Everyone say cheese," Mr. Spay clicked the camera, the flash capturing the smiles on our faces at the end of our senior trip. "I've had a wonderful year with this group. Throughout the fighting, teenage angst, hormonal decisions, and boy trouble, I still wouldn't change a thing. I know you all have a wonderful future ahead of you and I hope you enjoy life's journey there." We cheered for our principal as we boarded the bus with our baggage.I found the back of the bus, sliding next to Lucian. "Look," I took the photos of us out of my memory box and brought them up to the light. "Don't we look great together?" He smiled, giving me a simple yes. "Not big on words today," I teased. "I enjoyed the trip. It was over too quick." Lucian replied, "Time always flies when you're having fun," he gently caressed the love bite from the previous night on my thigh. I blushed in silence as he turned his head to the window to watch the scenery pass us by in a blink outside. "You know you haven't b
The Devil’s Kryptonite 76. Angel Triad Council
LucianThe council of angels convened to reprimand me for my past transgressions. I stood before them, impassive and unafraid, though I was slightly amused by their haughty expressions and sparkling wings. I could hear their naughty whispers, which seemed to be a combination of disapproval and bemusement. I was ready to accept whatever punishment they deemed fit. The triad of angels governed from behind the wooden podium bench in their assigned choirs, conversing and giving me the evil eye as I paid no attention to them, fancied by the stone golems they'd turned into guardians.The angels conferred amongst themselves for what seemed like an eternity before finally delivering their opening argument."You have been charged with many crimes, the major crime being that you defied God and led a war against him, endangering humans and breaking the heavenly rules. You are also charged with 100 counts of murder, 1 count of kidnapping, 20 counts of unsolicited visiting to the human world, & 5

I was lying in a hospital bed, my body feeling the numbness of the painkillers and the fatigue of the fight I had endured to get here. My head was throbbing in pain from the constant beeping of the machines surrounding me, I had lost count of the number of times it beeped, but it seemed to be a necessary part of my care. I felt a wave of emotions overcome me as my eyes tried to adjust to my surroundings. I could see my family and friends, all looking worried and scared, their faces a mixture of worry and hope. I wanted to tell them not to worry, that I was okay but my words were stuck in my throat, my voice suddenly feeling so far away. All I could do was lie still and try to relax, knowing that I was finally safe and that everything was going to be ok. I was hoping that one day soon I would finally be able to go home, dreaming that it would be over.My family cleared from my room momentarily as the doctors talked to them. A lone doctor entered, short and graceful in his stride, and p
