The half-demoness of Druitt

by RedRoseCrown

The Viscount of Druitt knew that he had a half-sister from his mother, but he has never met her. The fact that she was a bastard child didn't bother him at all, even when she came to live with his family and took their last name. She was a beautiful and charming young woman , but what he did not know was that despite everything Ariel is a half-demoness.

2. The half-demoness of Druitt ~ She goes ice-skating

-"Please, stop singing," her mother said. "I just want to take a nap."

-"I'm sorry, mum," said Ariel. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and she looked like a child playing with her favorite toy after a long time. "The song is considered completed."

-"It's too bad to let it go," she spoke in a sad voice, but her face told a different tale.

-"Okay, make one for me, then," said her mum hugging her tightly. "It feels so good to have a mother," Ariel thought in her mother's warm embrace.

-Viscount of Druitt, Undertaker and Ariel went ice-skating, and everyone in London seemed to be out of their houses. The river was frozen, and nearby were many small camps and tents. There was a competition about the most beautiful ice statue. In the middle of Thames were many joyful people of all classes. Druitt unsurprisingly didn't skate that much and, he spent the majority of the afternoon complimenting the sculptures of the 'Ice competition' surrounding them. Undertaker, on the other hand, behaved in the most surprising way. He hid him all of his white hair in a top hat, and was acting so seriously. It was freezing, but that wasn't a problem for Ariel. She wore what she wanted to wear; a circus outfit. Since she wasn't wearing a dress, Ariel felt free to go wild. Ariel didn't want to conform to the humans' rules too much. They will change with time, but she will live forever. Right now, she wants to spend as much time as possible with her brother while she can. He's so fake and irrational, but he's just a human, right? Though, she is completely confused to why they are letting her have her way so many times. She even made them dress up as women, when they went to the coffee shop called 'The sweet things in London' last time, and those going-out weren't so rare. Undertaker wore an orange dress and a flowery pink hat, and he also braided his hair into two pigtails. Druitt, on the other hand, wore a blue dress, and a black hat. Even though, Ariel was worried, they played their roles perfectly fine.

-"Don't tell me it's the sister of the Viscount of Druitt?" said a young man with blonde hair. Ariel found him very good looking immediately. It's rare to meet someone who is exactly her type.

-"Yeah, it's me," she replied. "How did you know?" When she looked back, she noticed that neither brother nor Undertaker were there.

-"I never could image her to be so pretty," he spoke making Ariel uncharacteristically shy, "pretty enough to steal my heart."

-"Oh, you."

-They talked and they talked for many days to come. The universe was never as interesting as the conversations with Xavier made it to be. Her half-demonic heart never felt so warm, but why is everything going so fast? She shouldn't fall in love with a human. However, the surprising part wasn't that a half-demoness had fallen in love or that this was even possible, but was that Ariel had received an invitation from the royal family. Xavier had been a prince. The son of Queen Victoria had asked for Ariel's hand.
