24-Broken.
Arianna POV.
I don’t know how long it’s been but Ebony is here and she’s not alone, she got a human with her, the human is calling her mommy and holding to her for dear life. That was a shock to me, I heard about Ebony before she’s a Lord, she’s not one to mess with. I heard all about how one person looked at her the wrong way once and she killed them, no second thought she just killed them for looking at her the wrong way, but right now she’s standing in our house holding the hand of a little!
“If you would stop staring, Kiara is shy” Ebony says in a voice as sweet as honey, laced with the threat of killing someone if we don’t stop staring at them.
“Mommy” the little whines again, hiding their face in her neck.
“I know honey, but mama have some work to do” Ebony calms down her little and turn back to us.
“Now if we can get this over with,” she says annoyed, uncle Dante looks at me before starting to explain things to her.
“We believe our Arianna is being hunted by a demon” he starts. The demoness turns back to me, her eyes scanned me top to bottom, she smiled. She was scary while smiling as much as she is while frowning, she was beautifully scary.
“And who might be hunting you cupcakes?” She asks with a smile not believing I’m actually being hunted.
“He… he…” I say stuttering, I never stutter but my fear had the best of me, I didn’t know what to say or do anymore.
“Does he have a name?” She asks, I just nod my head yes.
“Can you tell me his name?” She asks, I wanted to tell her his name but was also worried about him, but then I remembered the pain and emptiness inside my chest.
“He said his name is Scar” I say a lone tear going down my face, it hurt.
“Oh doll, Scar tried to make you fall for him didn’t he?” She asks, knowing exactly what he did, I guess this wasn’t the first time he does such a thing then. More tears started falling down my face, I nod my head yes, it just hurt so much.
“Well you’re safe, he went back to hell, his time was over” she says with a sympathetic smile, what is she talking about, I wanted to know details.
“Time is over?” I ask, is he dead? Even with how much this hurt, but I did fall for him, I’ve fell hard.
“It’s nothing to worry your little head about” she says, but I wasn’t some stupid girl.
“I have the right to know,” I tell her.
“He had his chance and lost it, no demon would be annoying you anymore” she says standing up with the little still in her arms, she was about to leave, but not before she gives me more details.
“I have one question for you please” I say in a sweet voice smiling even.
“Yes?” She answers with a raised brow.
“Your little, do you love them?” I ask her.
“This is such a weird question, but this is an abnormal situation, so I’ll bite. Yes, I adore my Kiara” the demoness answers me, she wasn’t lying, I could see it in her eyes, in her tone, the way she’s holding the little, I believed her.
“I thought lords aren’t allowed to love” I say in a curious voice, in a hopeful voice.
“Our king is kind enough to make exceptions for the ones who followed his rules” she says, getting ready to leave, Scar was right, I’m smart.
He told me he couldn’t tell me what he is, a lord, he wanted me to fall for him, so he can take me away, take me to hell. I just understood what happened, this whole time, Scar’s plan to get me to love him, to take me away with him. I felt broken from the inside, I’m insane, I’m a total maniac, I’ve fell in love with a demon lord, I’m totally, insanely, desperately in love with a demon lord. One that I’ll never meet again, maybe time would fix my pain and emptiness but nothing would fix my broken soul, the one that wants him back, the one that’s ready to forgive him.
