Chapter Forty Seven. "What are you doing here?" Delilah rolled her eyes at the demon in front of her. "That's very polite of you. I'm happy to see you too." Eriel said and sat on the floor on the outside of the cell. "I never said that I was happy to see you, Eriel. I want to be left alone." Delilah said. "For a slave who might end up as food, you have a lot of spunk." Eriel said casually. "Or maybe I've come to terms with everything and I just want to spend the little time I have left with my thoughts. Soothing myself. Did you think of that, master?"Eriel nodded. "Yes, I did. She has a big mouth." He said, gesturing to the slaves at the back. "Do you all see that she has a big mouth?" The slaves cheered out of fear of being punished. Delilah rolled her eyes. "Do you plan to answer my question?" Delilah propped her head up on her palms in her sitting position. "Which?" "I asked you if you knew when I was getting killed." "You don't know for sure that you're go
Chapter Forty Eight. Delilah was singing a song that she used to sing with her mother when Oriel got to the cell. As usual, she did not acknowledge him, so he let himself into the cell, and dragged Delilah up. âWhat is going on? Am I going to die without saying goodbye to my mom?â Delilah asked with a small frown on her face. She had always felt that she would go like this, but she wasnât mentally prepared for it. âLetâs go.â Oriel didnât bother to offer an explanation. âYouâre scaring me.â Delilah said; sounding firm, not at all scared. âI just want to take you outside and see what all the others are missing out on while you bitch and moan to yourself every time.â Oriel said and Delilah scrunched her nose. âI say that to myself. Even the cell mates canât hear me. Are you sure that youâre not actually a vampire?â Delilah asked. âVampires are the junior versions of our kind.â Oriel sighed. âOh, lite versions then.â Delilah said. Oriel scanned the room to look at th
Chapter Forty Nine.Delilah made her way up the stairs with a sigh as she wondered how she was lucky enough to be granted access to the library. Did she want to be friends with demons and move around them? No. She definitely did not. But she had no where to go. She couldnât escape, and she couldnât sneak her way out of it. The best thing to do as it was was to indulge herself in doing what she did best.Books. School work. She didnât want to watch the television that they placed in her room. She thought that she could get more information about the demons from there, and maybe how to even kill them. âWhere are you going?â Someone asked her. The person was descending the stares.Delilah recognised the woman as another demon. âI am going to the library.âDelilah continued to walk up the stairs. âYou stop walking when Iâm talking to you.â The demon said. âYou only asked a question which I answered, and as far as Iâm concerned, you have no control over my movements.â Delilah sai
Chapter Fifty.Violet mumbled to herself as she left the police station. âStop doing that and understand to not do bad things to your friends next time.â A uniformed man told her.Violet glared at him and continued to walk past, her lips in one place this time. This was all Delilahâs fault. If only she had not run away and put more attention on herself as usual. She thought.Violet was so shaken up. She thought that she was definitely going to be locked up, and she could not imagine explaining to her parents that she tried to snatch another girlâs boyfriend, and do bad things to her so that she would appear in a better light. Or that she had been the one to start the fiery rumours moving around the school about her friend, and that the friend happened to be Delilah Dâ Ricci. Her parents would kill her.Okay, scratch that. Violet knew that her parents would kill her if she ever mentioned everything about stealing someoneâs boyfriend. Her father could not stand looking at her with a
Chapter Fifty One.Dennis looked at Piero from where he sat. They had been sitting there for about thirty minutes man, but it seemed like the man did not hear a word of what was being said.Violet was dead. Dennis did not know how sick the girl was to dress up and take pictures of herself to send everywhere. She sent to his two phones, to the group chats they shared and he had heard other people say that she sent the pictures to them too. They found her on the ground just in front of her house. Her neck was at an awkward angle and her eyes were open. The side of her head and the ground all around it was bloody. He had seen it when he was passing back, and at that moment her mother had come outside too, shrieking in horror.Even in death, Violet still wanted to be the centre of attention. And the thing was, Dennis did not feel remotely sorry that she had died. Sure, they used to know each other, but she was a terrible person and friend, and she had constantly annoyed him. He even fe
Chapter Fifty Two.Piero did his best to look at everything, just in case his wife had dropped something on purpose or accidentally that would aid him in his search for her.The Find Location app was running in his phone, so Piero knew that he was moving in the right direction. Why did she go that way though? A cold shiver crossed his person as he thought of his dear Natalia being mauled by a wild animal and he shook it off. âNo. She is just lost. Itâs nothing more than that.â He assured himself.Piero held the sound of something snapping and he turned his head quickly to the direction of the sound. Something ran so quickly that it seemed blurry to him. Piero could have sworn that they were human, but that was too fast for even Usain Bolt. âMy eyes should stop playing tricks on me. I need to find Natalia and Delilah.â Piero muttered and he delved in deeper. He knew Natalia to be someone who would not go to dangerous places if she could, and he wondered if she felt that Delilah w
Chapter Fifty Three.Delilah sat close to her window overlooking the side of the place where peopleâ demon people were practicing for their dance, and if what she was seeing was what it was, then it looked more like they were preparing to walk their way in and seduce the blood out of people. "They would probably do that." Eriel said from behind her. "You can read my mind?" Delilah asked, her face starting to turn red.Eriel laughed and shook his head. "No, I don't. You said that out loud, but you didn't notice. It would be lovely to know what runs through your head, though." "Stop teasing me now." Delilah rolled her eyes and turned back to the window.She had gone to her house to see her dad and brothers. Instead she saw her aunt Demarr. Not that she was surprised, since her mom said that Demarr had come around. They had a chat for about ten minutes, and Delilah managed to stop Demarr from calling the police to inform them of her sudden reappearance. "Are you listening to m
Chapter Fifty Four.Mrs Martins took her seat and looked out of the window. Her stomach was very big and round now. Then she turned back to look at Dennis and shook her head. The boy look stressed out, and she was aware of how close Dennis and Delilah were. "Yes, Mrs Martins?" Dennis called out to let the woman know that he was still there. "I didn't forget about you, love. Come here and take a seat." Mrs Martins said, gesturing to the chair on the other side of the table.Dennis obeyed and took his seat. He knew that he would be in trouble and have a good scolding, if not more for beating that boy up like that. But Dennis was not going to apologise, even if they threatened to expel him. He did the right thing for the sake of other girls that that lunatic might come across.What if she was being sold at this very point? He thought. Dennis had read stories of human tradersâ traffickers, organ harvesters and people who used humans as game. "Are you even listening to me?" Mrs Mart
