Prologue
Once, long ago, there were only two races in this dimension. One were the creatures of the white wings, the other were the creatures of the black wings. They once lived together, only having small conflicts because of their beliefs. But their beliefs were too great. Soon, a war broke out.
The white wings called themselves 'Angels'. The black wings called themselves 'Devils'. The war between them ragged on and on. Finally, one day, out of the blue, their dimension spilt. The Angels claimed the sky, the Devils claimed the hell. And separated between them was an unknown space that neither Angel nor Devil can go into.
The Angles and Devils lived their own lives in their newly formed place. But then the peace was not for long. Temporary paths that formed allowed one to travel between the two worlds freely. The paths formed never last long and were never in the same place that it did not cause any harm. But then creatures from other dimension came into their world through the paths, creatures that brought forth chaos along with other negative feelings. The Angles and Devils called them, Demons.
The Demons could not survive the lights of the sky and so they dominated hell. It was then everything changes and the start of a tragedy.
-Line Break-
"Emmett, is the troops ready?" I asked when I heard him come into the meeting room, my eyes not looking up at the plans. My brother grinned but answered seriously, which was rare for him. "Yes. The troops are ready to be deployed when you command."
I nodded and continued scanning the plans, looking for loop holes. This attack was going to be successful. It has to be. I, being the general leading the army to claim back what rightful was ours, this burden falls on me, the crown prince of the Devils.
Ever since the Demons came into my world, hell had been a living torture for the Devils living here. The Demons managed to claim twenty percent of our lands. And they were not stopping and more of them kept coming into our world.
I as the crown prince managed to convince the Angels to help us stopped the Demons from multiplying for the sake of both our worlds. I traveled to the sky through the paths with the help of my younger sister, Alice. Her visions of the future allowed her to predict where the next path would appear. The Volturi, the royal family of the Angels promised to send two of their best generals and an army to assist us.
The door crept opened once again. This time, Alice skipped in, followed by my trusted general, Jasper. Jasper was about to become part of the family soon. He proposed to my sister before the Demons invaded. Then the Demons came and they had to postpone their wedding.
I lifted my head and looked at them. "Alice, Jasper." I acknowledged their presence. "Edward." Alice flew and hugged me like she always did. I hugged her back and asked when she was still in my arms, "Are you feeling alright?" I stroke her wings to show my concern, "Still having those headaches?"
She released me and smiled, "I'm fine now; Jasper has been taking good care of me." She squeezed my hand, let go and flew back to Jasper's side.
"My prince," Jasper came forward to greet me. "My troops are ready to be at your disposal."
I chuckled and pat his shoulders. "Jasper, how many times must I remind you to call me Edward? You are part of the family."
Jasper blushed lightly, nodded and whispered out my name, "Edward."
I nodded back and turned my attention back to the plans to begin the final meeting for the battle.
"Alice, are you sure that the path will appeared at this point?" I asked, pointing at the map pinned to the wall.
Alice nodded, "I'm sure." She affirmed.
"Alright, Jasper, let's go through your route again." My tone became serious and the others were listening closely and attentively. After hours, the meeting was finally closed and everyone became relaxed once again. We were chatting and laughing when a soft knock stopped us.
A smile lit up my face; I stood up and flew towards to door. I opened and saw my mate standing outside with her radiant smile and in her hands were a tray of snacks and drinks. He lifted the tray to my face and asked with her shiny chocolate eyes looking right at me, "Hungry?"
I took the tray from her and kiss her on the cheek, "Yes, thank you. We've just finished, come in." I said. When she went in, Alice practically pounced onto her, "Bella! Oh how I missed you while I was resting. I've come up new designs of dresses for you."
Bella looked at me, her eyes pleading for help. I chuckled loudly and told Alice, "Alice, you've just made her a whole new set of dresses."
Alice glared at me and pouts, "For women, dresses are not enough." She flew to Jasper and cling his arm, looking up at him, "Right Jasper?"
Jasper laughed and nodded. Bella grumbled, "You never say no to Alice…"
"Come on Bells, how can anyone say no to Alice?" Emmett roared as he gulped down the drinks Bella brought.
We ate the snacks and the rest left the room, leaving me and Bella in it. I wrapped my arms around her and gently licked her ear lobe. "Love…" I hummed. I felt her shuddered in my arms and she turned to look at me, her eyes filled with concern. I knew what she was going to say next.
"Edward…When are you moving out?" she asked, which almost sounded like a whisper.
I released her and went to look out the window. I answered her firmly, "In three days."
-Three Days Later-
"My good soldiers, tonight is the night that we claim back what was ours!" I hollered. My army stood below me as I saw standing at the top of the castle walls, by my side were Jasper and Emmett.
"Our victory will be better assured now we have the Angels best generals, James and Victoria!" they appeared from below and to let the army sees them.
My army cheered as the raised their weapons in approval. I turned towards the generals and said to them, "Thank you for coming. Your help is appreciated. Tonight, our differences will be put aside to let us fight against the same evil." I put out my hand for a handshake. James took it, gripping it firmly and he smiled. For some reason, I was disturbed by his smile, like he was planning something but I shook it off. I was tempted to open his mind to see what was he thinking but decided not to, the assured victory of my army comes first.
"Let's move!"
-Line Break-
The war raged on for days. A lot of good men were lost but we immerged victorious. The Demons who survived promised a treaty with us to leave in harmony in hell with us. They also swore loyalty to my family. After the Angels recovered from their injuries, Alice predicted the next path that would open I knew Jasper and Emmett needed to rest so only Bella and I was there to see them off.
"James, Victoria, thank you so much for assisting us. Have a safe trip back." I shook their hand and this time, James smirked and it sends fear down my spine.
He then turned his attention to Bella. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. I flared, we Devils are known to be possessive of our mates and yet James still touched her. I immediately opened his mind and read it.
'You look so delicious that I could eat you right now.'
I snapped but I knew if I hit him now, I will start the war between Angels and Devils again. I gritted my teeth, clenched my hands so tight that my nails cut into my flesh. "Bella, come over here." I said forcefully.
Then the path, just like Alice predicted, appeared. The Angels army flew into it. 'I guess you can read my mind now.' On James face was an evil smirk. 'Then you know I'm taking her!'
"No!" I cried as I saw James grabbed Bella and he threw her into the path. He followed after her and Victoria followed after him. My first instinct was to go after Bella. I flew into the path. I saw Victoria had Bella in her hands and a spear pointed at her throat. In front of her were some soldiers, guarding them. "Edward!" she cried when she saw me. James was standing in front of them, his arms folded across his chest.
"I knew you would come." He said his thoughts out loud.
"Let her go." I hissed as I withdrew my sword from its sheath. James laughed evilly, his eyes staring at me coldly. "You can read my mind can you? Then tell me why would I want to release your precious mate?" he spat.
I read his mind as he thought of what he wanted. His thoughts send chills down my spine. "You want to start a war again?" my eyes widened as I read his thoughts.
"Correct."
"Because you're bored of the peaceful life?" my voice was getting louder, sharper and angrier.
"Right again." He chuckled. "Generals like us are only useful in war. Without a war, we're just being thrown aside until we are useful again." His voice filled with hatred and laughter. "War can once bring life into me." He howled.
"This is madness!" I hissed as I charged towards him, my sword pointing right at his chest. James skillfully dodged my attack, flew above me and he retaliates with his spear. I blocked his spear before it can touch my body and pushed it away from me. James did a spin and landed on his feet.
Bella, I could see her closing her eyes, trying to form a barrier. Good, I'll distract them. I told her through our telepath. Just be careful Edward.
I flew backwards, trying to lead James away. But it seemed he knew what we had planned he turned to his back and saw Bella's barrier getting bigger and bigger and it repulsed Victoria and the soldiers. "Victoria!" James flew and caught her in his arms while Bella flew to my side. I opened my arms for her, hugged her, feeling her safe in my arms. "Let's go back." She whispered. I nodded and I took her as we flew back to the entrance.
While we were flying back, the path started closing. "Hurry." I tugged her as we flew as fast as we could. Just as we were about to reach the exit, James used a whip and caught Bella's feet. "Arh!" Bella cried. I tried to cut it with my sword but the whip won't break. James laughed at my futile attempt, "This is the sky whip, and nothing can cut through it." He said with confidence as he pulled Bella to him.
I held on to Bella, trying to keep her by my side. Both mine and James' strength were even, we were getting nowhere and the path was closing, real fast. "Damm it!" I cursed. "Edward, please remember, I will always love you." Bella said suddenly as she kissed me on the lips. And then she pushed me, hard, towards to exit. "No!" I cried in sorrow as I saw myself leaving the path and the path closes right before my eyes.
"No, no, no, no! Bella!" Tears flowed down my cheeks as thunder rang and lighting tore across the sky. Rain came falling, mixed with my tears.
Bella was gone.
-Line Break-
That was the day that brought sorrow to hell as the crown prince lost his mate. Bella and the Angels fell into the space between sky and hell. They were stripped off their powers, wings and immortality. They called the space the human realm.
James was furious that his plans failed. He killed Bella and her soul was trapped in the human realm. She reincarnated every thousand years but James and Victoria's descendants were sure to kill her off when she was a baby to prevent the Devil prince from finding his mate.
The Angels population grew and the called themselves humans. The humans populated the space and it became a living realm just like the sky and hell.
Up to this day, the Devil never stopped, looking…for his mate.
A/N: Well, this is the prologue. Did you all like it? If yes please review. I will want at least 10 reviews before I accept any beta and continuing it.

Will not rush me for my chapters. (I really have a busy life)
Give constructive comments, not destructive comments.
Will accept citrus. (I may include them in the future)
Help me with my limited vocabulary. (I don't want to always use 'said')
Tell me what is wrong and why it needed to be changed. (I wanted to learn though I am really slow learner and I mean real slow. I also hope will not have to change one whole paragraph etc, as this is still my story, I hope to keep my writing style if it's right.)
