So I was feeling a little down and out, and this idea was swimming in my head for a while. Muse was just begging me to start this.
And thus, Hart was born. Because, you know…I've never written any of my characters as the serious types. They're…crazy and innocent.
But hey, this is just the beginning. And I don't know if I'm going to continue it, to be completely honest. We'll see.
Oh, yes. I'm rewriting Into the Game also.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
_-Start Prologue-_
She was dazed as she stared up into the face of the desire demon from a game she had been obsessed with. Eyeing the demon warily, she opted to just lie there and watch for the moment-her body feeling heavy, as though she was in-between being awake and sleep.
Her eyes strayed when she heard a distantly familiar voice chuckle. "So you finally awake, little bird." the voice was deep and husky, almost baritone-but not quite. She gave a small frown as the desire demon backed off with a amused smile on her face as she slowly moved so that she was sitting up.
"I…feel I should know you," the girl kept glancing at both of the demons, the skimpily clad demon to the demon who looked scarily familiar to her. She tilted her head to the side as they had a staring contest, almost like they were playing chicken.
"Torpor…" she muttered, the demon's name finally clicking into place as eyes narrowed again as the demon gave an amused chuckle again. "Yes, the very same." there was a certain glint in his eyes that she didn't trust. "Sloth demon Torpor. You were the demon at the Circle in Ferelden, yes?" she questioned.
"Ah, smart girl, aren't you?" he hummed as she looked around their surroundings.
"So why am I here?" she turned back to the two demons, shrugging off his choice of place. "Ah, but didn't you wish that you could be transported to this world, the world your people call…Dragon Age?" he questioned. Her frown deepened, "I have made that wish many times, Torpor." she said dryly.
His oddly shaped head tilted the slightest, eyebrow ridge raising. "I made those wishes five years ago. When I was a naïve, stupid little girl who wished for the perfect man. Who was Anders." she sighed in exasperation, shooting him a look as if she were asking him if he was stupid. Her eyes snapped up as the desire demon sashayed her way over to her, "But Hart, we can make it happen for you now." the demon purred her name, making the young woman roll her eyes and look away in disinterest.
"Like I said, I made those wishes long ago and have since given up." She said in a clipped tone, gritting her teeth as the female demon sat in her lap with a chuckle, nuzzling her neck. "We know, and you drove such a hard bargain for us back then also..." she cooed at Hart as she tried to get the young woman's attention, stroking her hair and nuzzling into her neck before she was pushed off harshly. "Yeah, I was a stupid girl trying to find the man of my dreams." Harted snorted before turning to give Torpor a glare. Starting when she was suddenly pushed into a chair and the female demon crawled back to her lap.
"But we can make your dreams come true now," she whispered, "We can help you survive and grow. We can make him love you, along with that foolish spirit." she added, her eyes closed and concentrating her hardest to convince Hart. "No!" She snapped, a sneer on her face. "I know better then to make deals with demons now!" she snarled.
Torpor only chuckled darkly as he slowly made his way over to the two. "You have no choice now, little bird." he hissed at her, a grin pulling at his lips.
The desire demons hands stopped traveling down her limp arms, stopping at her elbows at the sound of Torpor's voice. She pulled back to look at Hart. Eyeing the unusually cold and distance look in her eyes before giving her a sultry smile, "Seeing as we'll be seeing each other soon…" she trailed off, smiling wickedly at feeling the human stiffen. "You may call me… Sheba."
The only thing Hart heard before the female demon struck her with something was Torpor telling her that what they were doing came with a high price.
