-Chapter 2-

Bella's POV

My heart rate began to pick up its speed. The soft, velvet-like voice disappeared as quick as it came. I began to question if there was ever a voice or even the slightest breeze or if it's all just my imagination.

I saw a swift movement of a shadow blur in my vision and it vanished at the corner of my eye. I started to feel scared but I had to remember what the website told me to do. Keep calm.

"Did you call?" The chilling voice echoed through my mind.

"Who are you?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"What a silly question." The voice laughed at me. "You summoned me." It hissed.

"Why can't I see you?" I questioned, my hands starting to tremble.

"Calm down. I'm not going to harm you...yet." The voice sounded like a male. "You can't see me because I do not wish to be seen."

A moment of silence flung by and I stood frozen in place. I didn't know what else to say so I stayed quiet, hoping the demon would say something.

"Fine." The voice surrendered.

My bedroom door began to open very slowly. It felt like everything was playing in slow motion. And out came a tall, lean figure. I can already tell this demon was in human form and that he would definitely tower over me. It finally came into the little light I had in the room so I could get to see his features.

He was definitely in human form, that was confirmed.

He was beyond beautiful. He had the perfect wind-swept hair the color of a shiny bronze. I also noticed how fair his complexion was. It nearly matched mine. His eyes were a shocking red. A red full of fiery and fire that it was almost too intense to stare into. He had his arms crossed over his chest. And he looked very bored.

"Are you surprised?" He finally asked.

I opened my mouth to respond but all that came out was nothing. Not even a breath. I wasn't even breathing. He chuckled at my reaction. His voice sounded almost musical, but better. Like a soft piano.

"You don't need to answer that. Most humans would probably be shocked, to say the least." He shrugged, circling around my room without taking his eyes off of mine.

"Why?" I managed to say.

He hesitated for a moment before responding. But when he did he had a very sly smile on his face. He gazed at me intently before speaking.

"Because." He said menacingly. "They think that we are just shadows of the night. A dark shadow, flying through the air or some shit like that. We're not like that. We were, indeed, human once. But we weren't the best kind." He shot me a provocative look. I don't know what his story was, and I had no intention of trying to pry in his business but I had to say this was rather interesting to listen to.

"Why did you summon me?" He said, abruptly.

"To see if this was real or some hoax." I shrugged, feeling a little more calm.

"Well, now, it's not a hoax as you can see." He said, sarcastically. He looked at my funny for a while and I glowered at him.

"What?" I frowned, crossing my arms like he did.

"You aren't frightened anymore. Most humans would still be." He circled around me some more.

"I'm not most humans." I replied, simply.

"I can see that." He whispered, in a chilly voice. "What is your wish, human?"

I haven't actually thought about what I would wish for if this was really true because I was so focused on it being fake.

"I-I don't know." I stammered.

He sighed in frustration and shook his head. "You were supposed to be prepared. You are wasting me time." He growled.

"I really don't know..." I began.

"You have one day. One day to choose what you wish for. Then your soul will be mine."

Then he disappeared.
