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
The Devil’s Kryptonite 48. Selectorials
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."~~
The Devil’s Kryptonite 49. Tranquillity
The tranquil wind blowing in my ears kept me calm. The silence wasn't awkward, though I couldn't see why. We'd usually be fighting about now. Who knew that he'd actually keep his word? Our destination plagued my mind. Where would he take me? Did I have a say so in this? Was he just doing this on a whim? Did he actually mean it? Or did he just want to trick me into thinking he's a good guy just to demand more blood.?"You're unusually quiet today," Lucian commented.I replied with a meek hum. He didn't press any further and only cut the volume of the radio up a notch. The silence was no longer, as familiar melodies invaded our tongues, telling us to sing and to forget about anything negative. "Now do you feel better?" Lucian asked me at a red light. I was until he dreadfully asked me that question. Now it was on my mind again, replaying that anthem of hesitancy. Am I soft? Am I weak? Would I survive? Am I too much of a dreamer?
The Devil’s Kryptonite 50. Fancy
Isabelle:The flash of Lucian's smile came closer before I even had time to register what was happening. His soft, luscious lips pressed against my own and a shock ran through me. His tongue invaded my mouth, soon playing a game of domination with my own. The kiss was needy, but still breathtaking at its best. His hot hands held my face gently; I could feel his pulse and mine along with his, throbbing at my core. One hand slowly snaked its way around my neck and I immediately lost control of the kiss. I was being devoured and it felt so good. He gave me a sweet peck before moving to my neck. I couldn't control my breathing and I could feel myself pooling while he lightly sucked on my neck and soon his other hand was around my bottom, playing with the hem of my pants. "You're beautiful,' Lucian's husky voice seeped into my ear. "You smell so good."I was so caught up that I forgot we were in public. Panicking, i tapped Lucian. "Luce, I think we should stop," I said between a moan.
The Devil’s Kryptonite 51. Have to Go
Isabelle:"You have to go, Bunny," Jen declared, "If you don't, who will i be with? Why would my best friend in the whole wide world not go to a party with me? What's changed? We used to do it all the time. And we used to have fun doing it too, if i say so myself .""Fine but only if you promise that I won't have to play those stupid party games," I countered quick and stern. I saw her frown but just as easily as she frowned, she began to laugh. "I love you, Bunny. You're all I got; I wouldn't dare make you do something you didn't want to do." She folded her clothes neatly into her gym bag. "How are things going with Lucian?'I sighed.."Is that a 'I'm tired' sigh or is that a 'It's complicated' sigh?" She rose a brow at me. Which would i decide? She pried, "Are you in love with him or do you just like him a little bit?""I don't know Jen," I replied."Liar," she scoffed, "You were smiling so hard the other da
The Devil’s Kryptonite 52. Party
Isabelle"It's fucking huge," my mouth hung agape before we even walked inside of the gate. The luxurious estate was lined in speckles of gray and white paint and easily rose well over 4 stories. The teeming greenlife lined the house in a scattered pattern; the trees were trimmed along the concrete path. Some shrubs were cut into figurines and you could hear the loud music blasting all the way down the street. Cars were everywhere and I suddenly got nervous. "Jen," I fumbled with my words, "How in the hell can they afford this?" I was so shocked.Jen just laughed. "I'm serious, Periwinkle. Whose house is this?"She grabbed my hand and we headed inside. We were greeted by a boy who I assumed was the host. His blonde hair and his smile to match were blinding. He seemed to give off that he was the life of the party. Jen and the guy had a brief conversation before she introduced us. He gave me his hand to shake so I took it. "I'm Brax," he
The Devil’s Kryptonite 53. Comfy
IsabelleThe chirped melody of the gay birds complemented the radiant warmth of sunshine dancing on my face as it snuck its way through the rumpled curtains. The cool pillow and the cozy comforter beckoned me to stay put. I rolled around a little in the comforter for a few seconds, "Too comfy," I groaned with closed eyes. My sixth sense told me to open my eyes because never had my bed ever been this warm. I hesitantly opened my eyes and I'd be damned. I screamed, hurriedly jumping out of bed."Easy angel, it's just me," A familiar husky voice came from under the covers. The covers unfurled a golden eyed boy with crazy bedhead who was sleepily unleashing a yawn. I was hysterical, "Lucian what the fuck are you doing here?""Nice of you to scream before letting a man stretch," Lucian snided."Get the fuck out," I demanded, crudely pointing towards my door. "Before you start screaming, you should cover up. But hey, I thin
The Devil’s Kryptonite 54. Pond
LucianI found her admiring the pond, with a red party cup in hand, never letting it leave her palms while she drunkenly danced and sang. The wind carried her sweet smell to me as I watched her swing her hips and occasionally dip her toes in the pond.Fireflies enveloped her body, and the trees swayed with her. It was incredible, like a live concert that only I got to experience. Her brown curls blew with the breeze on her final dance before she went back to her shoes, having a seat in the grass before taking another sip.I crept beside her, "What are you doing?""You know, you could just sit and enjoy nature with me. Isn't it beautiful? Doesn't it make you want to just stay here forever?" She turned her head to me, her eyes telling me she genuinely wanted an answer."Eventually, the fireflies will leave. The sun will come up. The wind will stop blowing," I said."Yeah, but it'll happen again. It's meant to be," She said with cer

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. "T
The Devil’s Kryptonite 82
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
The Devil’s Kryptonite 81
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 Devil’s Kryptonite 79.
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
The Devil’s Kryptonite 78. Rad Grad
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
The Devil’s Kryptonite 75. Awake
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
