40. Option
Isabelle
The day whizzed by and I was left to think that the semester was suddenly coming to an end and it was approaching faster than I expected.Lucian and I made up and resigned our deal, but I only ever went to Hell to give blood. It was as if he was avoiding me whenever I was in town.Soon it was the middle of October. I hardly saw Lucian anymore, and when I did, we only ever gave each other a quick glance of scrutiny or disgust. Noelle and I had began to hang out more and we'd even have sleepovers. Colton and I became friends (or more?? I don't know) after his incident and Jen was back to being a busybody after she was permitted to be on the team again. It turns out that Tina was actually with Brad and after Brad broke Tina's heart, she finally let Jennifer rejoin the team.I completely skipped over a few things, didn't I? So, let's rewind.~~~"I can't believe how you're moving on so quick, Bunny. I mean.. I just didn't think yoRelated chapters
The Devil’s Kryptonite 41. Unusual
IsabelleToday was very unusual. When I arrived home, my parents were seated on the sofa watching television. I had to do a doubletake."What are you two doing home?" I asked."Oh, you know. Just enjoying some time off. Your dad is always busy and today was both a day off for us. Do you want to sit with us?""Yeah, kiddo. Have a seat and catch up with us," Dad suggested. "No, thanks. I have something to do. Catch you later," I spun on my heel. Halfway up the stairs, my mom shouted, "No sex, Izzy!"What an embarrassment. I took a shower and shaved while I danced to the blasting music before running to my closet to find the perfect outfit. I know I shaved, but don't all girls when they're about to hang out with the boy they like? Yes, they do!Throwing every piece of clothing that I deemed ugly or unworthy to the floor, I finally decided upon a pair of light-blue ripped jeans. I matched it with a black scrunch top that had brown buttons going down the middle and a pair of bejeweled bl
The Devil’s Kryptonite 42. Ball
LucianI was home attending to crucial matters. The Elders and the council were working my last fried nerve. The annual Fire Ball was coming up and I'd been away from the hell and horrors of the mortal realm of high school due to the preparations and all the duties that have come along recently. I rarely had the chance to see Bella anymore these days, but I was more than satisfied with seeing her smile and still enjoying her books underneath that depressing tree. Though, nowadays, she would be spending her time with the new boy on the block.But I didn't have the luxury to think about her or her worthless decisions right now.Recently, there has a been rise in riots in the northern part of the kingdom. I sent Megi and her troops to handle it, but they haven't returned yet. I sent Yuhan to the border of the East, Darchnia, to monitor the citizens. I really didn't need any distractions this time around the season. But, deep down inside, I knew everything would turn out okay because no m
The Devil’s Kryptonite 43. Pepper
Lucian's POVAnd there she stood, stunning in my favorite color as her skin gleamed with a nature that made me want to caress her forearms so lightly. I watched her intently as she took a look around at the crowd below her. Her voluminous, brown tresses bounced lightly against her shoulders as she rounded the stairs. Her breath hitched at the sight of the event and I watched as her chest heaved in & out. I felt a tingling sensation run throughout my body and in an instant, I knew she'd be the star of the night. I set my glass of champagne down on a tray as a prompt server passed by perfectly. I made my way to the base of the stairs with an outsretched hand for her to take and she took it gracefully and fell into my chest as she tripped over the last step."I shouldn't have come. This is so embarrassing," she whispered as she hid her face in my chest. The warmth of her round face against me sent a silent shiver through my spine and I shook it off quickly. "There's no need to shy. Sha
The Devil’s Kryptonite 44. Hung
Isabelle's POV I woke with a horrible headache. "Ugh," I groaned as I pulled the covers over my face. For the love of god, I couldn't think of a valid reason why I'd have a killer headache on this wonderful Friday.What's worse is within the next few seconds, my mom was banging against my door as hard as she could. "You're going to be late. Get up!" She shouted before going back downstairs. I felt so drained. I didn't even have the energy to get up. I slowly crept a foot out of the bed and then the other. I stood up and boy did I realize that was a mistake. I face planted onto the floor violently. "You ok, kiddo?" My dad yelled from below.I didn't even reply as I stumbled to get up. Holding my throbbing nose as I walked to the bathroom, I groaned mentally before brushing my teeth and washing face. I shut the light off and made my way to my dresser to find sweats and a tee. I felt like utter shit. I found a few painkillers and downed them in one go before sliding on a pair of sket
The Devil’s Kryptonite 45. Dreamy
Isabelle Lucian had an angry look on his face as he leant over the golden rail. His broad, white wings were giving off an inexplicable aura. The wind blew a few feathers astray. Lucian, without batting an eye or turning, sensed someone's presence. "What brings you here, my dear brother?"I couldn't see his face but he also had wings, albeit they were smaller than Lucian's. "Father is looking for you. He said it had something to do with your touch," the man had such a squeaky voice. Lucian nodded and the other angel disappeared, though Lucian didn't move an inch. He sighed, "I'll be right there if it's that urgent." He huffed and turned. "I'm sorry," he apologized.She laughed, "It's fine." She held one of his blown feathers in her fingers of her left hand. "What's got you in a mood?""Nothing you need to worry about," Lucian told her earnestly. "Says the angel who's basically begging me to worry about him," the woman said.I could only see her from behind. She had the curliest,
The Devil’s Kryptonite 46. Private
Isabelle"Why don't you have guards?" I asked while I walked around his well-furnished office, suspiciously glancing at everything I passed by."Because no one would dare to actually carelessly barge into my quarters," he replied."No one? Not even a bed-lady?" I rose an eye."No one except you," Lucian smirked, "Everyone knows there's a price to be paid if they disturb me."I shrugged. "By the way," he cleared his throat, "What's a bed-lady?" I could tell he was holding in a powerful chuckle while he watched me blush at the embarrassing question. "Well you know.." I stuttered, "one of those ladies that comes at night and gets in your bed.." I slowly crept to him."Yeah and what else?" He folded his hands together as his elbows sat on his desk."They do the only thing they know how," I stopped at the edge of his desk."Oh? Do tell, what do they do?" He smiled."They make your bed warm, of course," I winked.Like I'd ever be embarrassed in front of that man. The sound of his laughte
The Devil’s Kryptonite 47. Wings
LucianHer eyes sparkled with hope and curiosity. "Can I see them now?""Why should I?""Oh come on. Would it kill you to just let me see them?" She rolled her eyes."Maybe," I rose a brow, "Why are you so curious anyway?""Isn't this better than me prying about your life?""No," I responded, "Both are nerving."Even though I basically said no, I stood up for her anyway. Her eyes lit up and her smile blinded me. Discarding my shirt, I asked, " You ready?"She nodded her head and ran up behind me. I opened my wings and almost immediately, she ran her fingers through my feathers. "They're massive," she gawked. "How do you go around carrying these things everyday?"I laughed, "We're attached. I'm pretty sure you get used to it.""Why are they black," She questioned.I froze to think about whether I wanted to answer or how I would answer. "Well it doesn't matter. They're still beautiful," she continued to run her fingers through the cracks of my wings. "What's this?"Her hand hovered ov

FridayIsabelle"What are you thinking about being?" I asked Jason."I'm totally the engineer type," he seemed to be trying to convince himself, "I can see myself all sweaty in some slacks and a white tee with grease & oil stains on my clothes while middle-aged women, married and single eye me down like candy. I'd be living the life!""Sounds more like you've watched too many chick flicks, bud. That's a scene right out of a movie," I retorted."Yeah, maybe all I'm missing is the towel that I'll use to wipe my sweat," Jason joked."Seriously though," I laughed, "Good point.""Another secret for you to keep," Jason mused."I don't have secrets," I refuted."Everyone has secrets," he said in a matter-of-fact tone."You think I have secrets?" I was seriously intrigued.He didn't acknowledge the question and opened his new book. "A bad boy that likes to read," I whispered, "still insane."~~
