Wow..what an entrance!
Those men screamed trouble even from afar. I moved away from the window,fingers clutching my dress.
I turned to Anna "I need to go back to my room"
She nodded "Milady I might not be available to help you prepare later for the welcome feast in the evening. I have been assigned by the head maid to stay and help out in the kitchen for the event later. Will it be okay if I send someone else to assist you?"
I could see how worried and bother she was by the matter.
"Don't worry,I will be fine. I can definitely take care of my self" I gave her a small smile hoping to ease her worry.
Her face lite up and I could see as her shoulders relaxed.
I turned on my heels and let my feet move me faster towards the confides of my room. I was almost to my chambers when I heard voices approaching.
One definitely is the unmistakable voice of Lust. Oh no! He can't be with the guests right?
I definitely don't want them to see me.
My eyes kept searching for where to hide as the voices became closer. Not knowing what to do, I quickly hid behind the large curtains and held my breath.
I hope lust is too distracted to smell me.
I could hear their feet and voice as they moved closer to where I hid.
I attached my body so close to the wall and pulled my feet in. Sweats already breaking out on my face.
They sounded so familiar with each other as they laughed and spoke together in a language I don't understand.
I'm definitely sure it's the demon language.
I'm still new at it so I couldn't make out what they were talking about.
I could hear as their feet were about to pass me when someone stopped. I held my breath waiting to be caught but the feet suddenly started moving again. Making me sigh in relief.
I waited for a while till their voices were gone before I came out from behind the curtains and quickly made it to my chambers not even giving my self a moment to breath.
I slammed my door shut and rested my back on it. My breathing came out sharp as sweat rolled down my face.
Honestly I thought I was going to get caught. I wouldn't want to explain what I was doing behind a curtain. That would be just too awkward even for me.
I approached my bed and slumped on it lazily.
If Loveth and Jace were here, they would have definitely got me caught. One, Loveth would be too nosy to see how they look up close and Jace would be breathing too fast to go unnoticed.
A sad smile made its way on my face as I thought about my friends. I miss them so much. I wonder if they gave up looking for me and just thought I was dead somewhere.
As I let my thoughts drift into the gates of memories, I didn't know when darkness suddenly came and lured me in but not without spikes.
Cause I suddenly found myself sitting with my mom on our dinning table back in our world. She looked so much alive and had a smile on her face. We were eating and discussing when suddenly I don't know when we started arguing.
It was so fierce that I stood up and slammed my hands on the table making it shake. Mom's eyes were wide and angry as she suddenly stood up from her sit and slapped me across the face. The next thing I know I had my fork imbedded in her stomach as blood spurted out of her mouth. She looked shocked and held her stomach as she whispered in hushed tone.
'I curse you...you will never be happy...'
I screamed out loud and woke up from the terrifying dream. My clothes drenched in sweat. My heart was still racing in my chest.
What was that?
It felt so real.
If I hadn't seen my mom on her dying time I would have believed she really cursed me. But still even though she said she forgave me,I still feel so burdened and cursed within.
I mean I literally killed my mother in cold blood!
I looked outside the window when I suddenly noticed that I have been asleep for hours. It was already dark outside.
I stood up from my bed and rushed towards the bathroom deciding to take a quick bath.
After I was done bathing, I looked through my wardrobe searching for what to wear.
I have never been to a feast before especially not one with demons! So what am I going to wear?
I looked through the clothes in my wardrobe and decided on the cloth Lust got for me. It looks more appealing in my eyes and I would also love for him to see me in this dress again. It's feels like it's been a really long time I have seen him or even spent time with him.
I wore the gown and silver heels. I quickly pinned my hair to the side and applied a bit of some glossy red lipstick. My skin looks pale but not the sickly type but more healthier.
I checked my appearance in the mirror trying to make sure I didn't do anything wrong or overdressed.
A knock came on the door snapping me out of my thoughts.
My anxiety suddenly set in as well with that knock. It can only mean one thing!
"Milady! It's time! It's about to begin. I came here as fast as I could hoping to help you out" Anna said breathlessly.
I turned around and stared at her nervously
"How do I look?"
She suddenly noticed my appearance. Her eyes roamed my entire body but she didn't utter a word.
Her silence made me more nervous.
Maybe I over did it!
"I knew I shouldn't have worn this! Just wait a moment let me change!" I turned on my heels about to approach my wardrobe.
Her fingers suddenly clutched my arm"no! milady...you... actually look like a goddess" She replied.
I struggled to keep myself from blushing as I swept my hair behind my ear.
"T-thank you"
I replied clearing my throat.
She ushered me out of the room as we both moved towards the event room. She stood in front of me seemly leading the way. As I just kept on playing with my fingers as my heart kept beating fast.
It's going to be more demons in there than I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Will they like me?
A human girl who suddenly became a member of the royal family overnight and now is claiming to be like one of them.
That itself is huge.
We reached a huge golden large door. Two guards stood by the side. Their faces were so hard and void of emotions. They weren't even looking at us.
Anna bowed at them. I was so confused on what to do so I decided to follow her lead when an arm suddenly held me in place.
I looked up at the arm wrapped around me confused.
When someone suddenly whispered in my ear "You don't bow to the guards. They bow to you love"
Lust!!
His voice was like the music and calmness I needed to suite my heart.
His scent made it's way heavily to my noise, making me suddenly dozy and dizzy.
"Where have you been?" I couldn't help but ask him as my body relaxed in his arms like butter.
"I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you love, I have been given more responsibilities and also had to entertain my friends"
And by friends I am sure he means the Lords.
His deep voice reached my ears making me hum sleepily. I always feel this way whenever he is around me. It's like his essence always overpowers me.
"You know... your maid might suddenly collapse from too much lovescene.." He whispered in my ear.
I suddenly realized where we were making me hurriedly pull away from him like I was burned.
I looked at Anna and realized how right he was. Her face was so red that I was scared she would soon faint.
The guards were as stoney as ever making my ears red at how undisturbed they were by the scene.
Lust chuckle reached my ears making me more self concious.
"It's okay..am sure the guards didn't mind"
He moved closer towards me and stood by my side.
His hand suddenly reached out and held mine.
He stared into my eyes with a smile on his face
"Are you ready?"
I took in a deep breath and nodded. Ready to meet everyone.
