"She has a lot of bruises but her wounds are healing quite nicely"
What a pretty voice
"Yeah, when do you think she'll wake up it's been what, 2 full moons?"
The last voice rang in my ears making me shiver. I couldn't get my eyes open all the way. The light was too bright, but I could see two blurry figures standing across from me.
"She should be waking up soon. Something traumatic probably happened"
I tried to make a sound. The two figures left my blurry vision. "Hey, you're finally up, we've got something to help you breathe in your throat so wait a minute". I felt a slight pull from my mouth. "It's a kwin leaf if you put the right spell on it it will purify the air you breathe in". I didn't care much for the feeling.
"She's not opening her eyes Kenya." A cold hand touches my cheek, I instinctively leaned in. What's going on with me? "Oh the light! they're probably too bright for her. I'll turn them down a notch".
She was right, the lights got dimmer and It got easier to open my eyes. I blinked a few times and looked around.
I was met with a navy blue and white decor. I locked eyes with a pair of light brown eyes. I've never seen brown eyes before. My focus from her eyes broke and her face caused more shock. She was absolutely beautiful, ethereal. her skin was richly dark making her eyes stand out. She had a broad nose and full lips. I couldn't help but stare at her thick long lashes. "No need to stare I'll blush". I quickly lowered my gazed embarrassed. "I'm so sorry forgive me", my voice sounded raspy and dry.
"It's ok darling, here drink some water."
The glass of water looked like my light at the end of the tunnel. "Well I'm going to step out for a moment. Lucifer is giving me the death stare, bye bye my new friend". I tensed and began to choke on my water as she walked away. The presence on my left became strikingly present to me. I refused to look up, I couldn't! How could I? It was Lucifer the tyrant, one without mercy. My heart throbbed at a rate I could not count. I tried not to show too much weakness, I am- was a zduhacian warrior.
"You can at least look up at me I mean I don't know if you know but I am you are my beloved".
I immediately looked up with some form of courage to find out what he meant. My body heated up and quacked. I felt myself sweat. He was magnificent. He radiated power, how did I not notice before. His intense black eyes stared at me intensely. blonde eyebrows and hair stood out against his skin. It was simple. He was magnificent.
"Names Lucifer, what's yours?"
I was stuck in a daze. I kept quiet, how could I speak?
"Well that's fine sure things have been hard for you. You're from Venus so being destined with a demon sure isn't going make it better."
"Although I would like to know your name". He stretches out his hand towards me and I flinch back. To my surprise, his face was conflicted. I felt regret and sat in silence. What was I supposed to do? Too much is going on in so little time.
"I just don't need you anymore."
My stomach churned and my heart sank. What was my life right now? Divine One what are you planning for me? Please tell me what I'm supposed to do?!
'Look at him'
My head snapped upwards trying the find the shadowy voice.
Nothing
So, I looked at him.
I still felt that overwhelming feeling I felt before. "Latonya, that is my name". His somber expression quickly turned to one of joy. His smile was so big it's was contagious and a small one formed on my lips.
"Beautiful name for a gorgeous woman". My breath got caught in my throat and my body heated more than it already was. I whispered a thank you and looked towards my hands. Why was I so hot?
"Your sweating a bit. Here touch me, I know you may not want to but I promise it will help." He again stretches his arm towards me and I started in slight fear and confusion. "Go on baby doll all on you". The second my fingers touched his skin it was like a cool refreshing breeze. I sat stunned, "What was that? I'm not hot anymore."
"It's the bond. Every creature has a link even humans. Ours is a bit weird though, being close to me but not touching me will raise your temperature and lower mine. Both of us being together is like, well a perfect balance."
I have a beloved. All my life I thought I was to be alone but I have a beloved. I stared into his dark brown eyes, I felt as if I was supposed to be here. Will this be my new life? Being this demon's partner? Will I be happier? Well, I was never happy? I was doomed for suffering on my own planet.
"What is it like here? I mean on Mercury." there are many stories about this planet. The zduhacians and demons were at war for over 700 years. The demons were seen as savages without compassion. They are the cause of the barren and dry land scape on Venus. Forcing us to revolve. Fortunately, Maria ended the war and a contract was signed for peace. In our history scrolls, the pictures of mercury were dark and grotesque. The room I was in and the people I was meeting wasn't match what I've learned.
"Ah yeah, you've probably heard awful things about this place. Literally, everyone has. It's pretty normal on this planet. Sure we have like stupid idiots thinking they can come down and have a new life full of crime, but It's like that on any planet. I can give you the run down another time I'm sure you'd like to get out of here."
My guess was that it was some type of infirmary and that women before helped me.
"I do have some questions though. The information you got sent here with is basically blank. All we got is your occupation". I almost scoffed, she couldn't even be bothered to put down a fake crime. That- that witch! My whole life was more miserable than it seemed. Not to even speak of the acts they did while I was unconscious. How long had I been defiled and used? Thinking of it made me quizzy. "That woman, no that w-w-wi UGH! That woman has done me a favor." More memories flooded my mind. She put the spell on me. I bit down on the flesh on the inside of my cheek.

Her eyes looked furious. The type you rarely see. I personally knew Maria was as fake as the earth's sun being white, but this was beyond what I knew. "What did she do to you?", she scoffed a shook her head. "Doesn't matter". She took a deep shaky breath and looked me in my eyes. She was so beautiful, I could stare at her forever. That's pretty creepy though. "I shall accept my new life here. There was nothing there for me, I realize that now. I was lonely but optimistic, where did that optimism get me?"'
Her face was pained she looked like she was bout to cry. I grabbed her scarred hand and squeezed "It got you to me."
I felt her squeeze my hand a bit, "maybe you're right" she whispered. Right then Lena burst in, "Hello love birds sorry to interrupt but if you want to get out of here quickly I have to do a quick check-up." I glared at her, she's always been so nosy.
After all the medical mumbo jumbo Latonya was released and free to leave. We were walking outside in silence. Her home had been prepared by the darling Miss Edna. But knowing that we were tied, I didn't wanna let her out of my sight.
'I say we take her home and -' I cut off my alternate, not wanting his influence right now.
"Stop there, she just got here and I'm sure she's traumatized. Let's not push mating down her throat"
"oh come on! I'm sure it'll get her mind off it"
"I'm ignoring you Lust".
I peaked at her from the side of my eye. She was breathtaking, her skin was something I had never seen before. When she looked at me her dark green eyes glazed over. I wanted nothing more than to do what Lust proposed, but im sure that's not what she needs. "There's a house prepared for you, I can fly you there." She looked up at me with her big beautiful eyes. "Just imagine her-". Aye hush not right now.
She looked down nervously rubbing her arms, "You're not taking me with you?" I pinched the inside of my hand. "Uh um I mean didn't think you'd be ok with that so", I cut myself off, feeling myself about to stutter. She just nodded her sweet little head and some tension left her. "Well usually when I fly somebody around they just hang by their hand, but how bout we drive?" She visibly perked up.
"Yeah I'll call for one, here why don't ya sit down." I waved my hand over a nearby tree stump and watched as it turned into a chair. She looked at me astonished but confused. Her mouth opened than closed. "You have a question?" I pried. She fiddled with the ends of her hair, "I guess um if you could materialize a chair why not a um car". I watched as she tried to revert into herself. Well, at least she talks to me. "My magic has rules I have to know how things are made to materialize them although that rule stops at actual living creatures, unfortunately." She processed the information, nodded her head then stared awkwardly at the ground. I sighed, what else can I do to soften her up to her to me. "I know a way!" If it has to do with getting her in bed I don't wanna hear it. He groaned and retreated back to my subconscious. He was just him, lustfully primal at his core, well my core.
A sleek black car pulled up. "Timely as ever", I opened the back seat door and gestured for her to get in. "Well let's head off to your new home".
