The thundered echoed and lighting flashed through the sky. Across the land, a castle stood, once filled with light and beauty, with joy and laughter, with the sweet smell of spring is now enveloped in pure darkness and the feeling of hatred.
Reaching at the farther top of the castle, the harsh wind blew the lush white curtains out the balcony. The thunder boomed again as lighting followed after, shedding light for a second at the occupants in the room.
A man with dark raven hair, clad in dark pants and a button up black polo tightened his arms, wrapped around a brunette in a white flowing dress until her knees, her eyes filled with tears as she star. He whispered words to her ear as she whimpered. She's frightened, he knew and that made him smirk. His big black majestic wings flapped and wrapped around them, concealing her smaller white ones in an embrace.
She felt so helpless, she thought. She could do nothing as her parents were killed, could do nothing to fend her own kingdom, could do nothing but watch as they take over.
Through the light given off from the lightning, his eyes could be seen, piercing red-crimson, the eyes she was frightened of since her childhood. They held amusement and possession. His smirk widened as he felt her shiver.
"…mine…all mine…"
The angels have been over thrown. Their reign as the most superior beings has ended. The king and queen has fallen, all the angels are dead, All but one…The daughter of the royal family, the last of their kind, The one and only Princess Mikan Sakura.
The news spread through the land like a virus with no cure. The humans were solemn with fear; not knowing what would happen next. Nothing is definite anymore, would the next day be good or bad, moreover will there be a tomorrow, they could do nothing but wait.
At the underworld, a man smiled in satisfaction as he watched the humans cower in fear. Demons spread through the lands bringing chaos and destruction. Everything is in place, He grinned at the thought. He turned and made his way through the halls.
The guards bowed their heads low in respect as he passed. He just ignored them with one thing set in mind. He reached the second floor of the castle and stopped.
"Did you see the girl?" A voice spoke.
"No, I've only caught a glimpsed. But it's true as they say… the rumor of her beauty."
"I wonder what she'd be like." The man asked maliciously, licking his lips. He gasped as he tasted blood flow from his mouth.
The other man could only watch in horror as his friend fell dead on the floor. He stared at the limp body for a second before feeling a gaze on him. He looked in front of him and immediately froze on spot as the Demon King stood before him, eyes piercing. The man couldn't even move a step before he too fell, his blood staining the carpet.
The Demon King raised his hand gesturing to the guards to come and clean the mess.
He was cruel as they say, he spared no one who went against him. Merciless to those who pleaded and cried for his tolerance. He never really cared at all, no one can even say he has a heart anymore, but after all he is a demon, the most efficacious of them all, since when did they have hearts? There is a secret only he knows, so dark that no one dared to question his authority, afraid of their lives.
He started to walk again further to the more secluded top part of the castle and stopped once he reached a black double door at the end of the hallway, embedded with intricate design. He slowly pushed open the doors and went in, the doors closed shut and enveloped the room in darkness once more, his eyes roamed across the dark room, he closed his eyes and breathed in, and the metallic smell of blood reached his nose. At once, he darted his attention to the four posted king size bed at the center.
A brunette sat on the edge, her bangs covering her eyes and her long silk-like hair cascaded down her back until her waist, a long chain covered her right wrist that led a trail to the wall.
He slowly approached the bed and stopped before her.
"How many times do I have to tell you," His voice gentle and smooth. " you'll only hurt yourself?" He spoke and reached to her bloody wrist. She winced at the contact.
He reached for the white cloth on the table side and wiped the blood off; once he was done he caressed the wound softly. He smirked as he felt her stiffen. He cupped her face and tilted it up, their eyes met and he frowned at the tears brimming at the corned of her eyes.
"A lady shouldn't cry." He whispered softly. "Especially not my queen," He added, voice with pride and possession.
He stared deeply into her eyes as the tears fell. His eyes turned to slits when one lone tear landed on his palm, he slowly wiped her tears away and crouched down so he leveled with her.
"...Please..." She sobbed, the first thing she actually said upon arriving at his castle two days ago.
He scowled at the tone of her voice, he could feel his temper rising up. "You are my queen and it shall stay like that!" His tone made her wince as she continued to sob.
He released a breath and stood up. "You need to rest, I'm sure your exhausted." He said, tone more gentle but still stern. "We'll visit the town tomorrow." He reached for the lock stuck to the wall attached to the chain on her wrist, he loosened it to a extend that she'd be more comfortable in. He picked her up bridal style and placed her on the bed more properly.
He casted one more look at her before bringing the sheets up to her shoulder and walked off to the adjoining bathroom.
When he came back she has already fallen into deep slumber. He sat down on the bed and caressed her cheek, feeling a bit sultry from her tears.
"You shall be my queen..." He started, his hand roaming on her neck to slightly grasp her nape and brought her closer, their lips merely centimeters apart, he felt her quiver from his cool touch. "...you shall stay by my side for all eternity."
End.
