chapter 55

Hey guys, thanks for sticking this far I am truly grateful

I closed my book with a groan, I had not taken a break from reading my books all week, Xavier was pressuring me into reading so I would succeed, for what exactly.

Today was the last day of my assessment test and I think I was doing really well along with the fact that I was ecstatic. What was the point of reading anyway, I was going to be a demon housewife very soon. Unless Xavier had found a way to bring humans and demons together just so we could work as the werewolves and humans do in the really good novels. I had not seen Xavier all day, Great and Bad. I missed his face in the bad part and for the great, it was finally nice to be able to breathe something aside from him.

I was starting to know a lot of things about Xavier this week, the things that annoyed him, the things that he simply couldn’t stand. ME YELLING AT HIM. I had been a blood donor two times this week and he kept asking for more. He was an insatiable creature and when he got a taste of a good thing he just wanted to have it by all means.

Xavier walked into the room with a land phone stuck on his ear, his shoulder pinned it to his ear and he was pressing some button.

“Dinner is ready” I shot out of bed and ran down the stairs, my stomach was about to start eating me from the inside out with all the biting.

I took up my mushroom chicken pasta went outside to sit by the pool to watch the sunset, from the mountain the sunset looked closer and I could almost touch the sky. The sky was bright orange and the sun was waving me goodbye. I waved back.

“You are getting way too busy for me,” I told Xavier honestly, he raised his eyebrow, like he was surprised that I was affected by his absence from my life. He was gone the whole of today and yesterday and the day before that. He was totally making me feel unimportant

“I am, I have not even noticed” he shrugged, keeping his eyes on his mac book, I had not seen him this worked up for the whole three weeks we had been staying together.

“You are not paying attention to me” he looked at me and smiled

“I am messing with you, look I just have a lot of work to do, a company is not that easy to run when you have a kingdom to look after as well and a wedding to plan and a ton of other stuff ranging from a beautiful fiancee to other demonic stuff”

“What other demonic stuff”

“I am the most horrible demon there is, my father, was not as horrible as this before he was crowned”

“What do you mean”

“I mean I am still struggling to kill the number of people my father had taken the souls of before he clocked eighteen I have to get my kills in before my coronation, taking a million people’s life is not easy when you are the most soft-hearted demon there is” I can’t believe what I am about to say

“I can help you plan the wedding while you start taking people’s lives"

“You couldn’t plan a demon wedding if you wanted to, the highest you can do is buy a dress and you are not meant to see your own dress I am picking it ”

“WHAT, Wedding planning can not be that hard” I exclaimed

“It is, there is the blood sacrifice you have to go through demonizing you have to look for me in the hall of mirrors and so many other things I can not start to mention Winter” the phone beside him rang and he picked it up. WOAH. what is a hall of mirrors?

“You will have me to yourself throughout tomorrow, I have to go don’t try anything that I wouldn’t do, in fact, don’t try something I would do, stay out of trouble and don’t go anywhere cos I will find you” he yanked my foot "I am serious"

“Can I see my father”

“Sure baby girl” he pecked my forehead and walked out of the room, I wonder what the hell he was doing, not like I cared or anything but I was curious very curious. I NEED A LIFE OUTSIDE THIS GUY.

I got off the bed and walked to my father’s room, he was asleep, so I decided not to wake him up, how about a little adventure, I said to myself. I walked to the basement and looked around, I know I should not be doing this but I just wanted to have a little fun. I pushed the door, but it won’t budge, it needed a key of course. I pulled out a hairpin from my hair and wiggled it in the lock. It opened.

“I didn’t think that would work” I quipped and pushed open the heavy door, It was so dark in here. I left the door open so I could see where I was going but it slammed behind me harshly, THAT WAS SCARY, now I want out.

“Winter” I heard my name and I looked around, this is so freaky I turned around and reached out for the door to open it but I was locked in. UH OH, don’t be a pussy, explore!

“Winter” my mind must be playing tricks on me” I took several steps with my hand outstretched reaching for the door. I touched something hard and it felt like engraved stone. I could make out a skull from my feeling sense.

I reached for another hairpin this should be my last one, if I drop it I am going to rot inside this tunnel. I struggled to get the second door open because the keyhole was larger but I got it and it clicked.

Forgetting about how the doorways got lower each time I walked forward and hit my head on the brick above me

"Fuck” I swore and ducked. The last door.

I literally kicked it open when I opened it, I ended up in the expected place hell still vibrant, sky full beautiful lights, not stars but lights. I walked toward the market area

“This is delicious,” I said with delight and continued walking. I made sure to keep out of the palace’s way.

I stared at my reflection in the crystal lake happily, today was more fruitful than I thought it would be

“Winter” that voice again, like a cry for help “Winter” an old lady’s cry for help

“Winter look up” I did and I saw that old house Xavier refused to take me to, There was an old lady in front it and she was calling me forward with her finger, I looked around for Xavier who am I kidding, he was not here

“How?" I asked

“Use the big rocks” I took a step unto the huge pink rock.
