"What do you mean by Lucifers equal? You mean I'm like the Dev- Satan?"
I sat there stunned and couldn't believe what I was hearing, he stood up and sat next to me pulling my hands from under my arms. He held one in his hands. He looked into my eyes as if reading me trying to see what I thought. I thought of nothing, I didn't know what to think and the fact that he could read my mind was a phenomena I could not comprehend. He said something about Blockage, did he mean I could block my mind, so that he could not read it, like a shield.
"In a sense, yes. Not in power, we still not sure in what way you are his equal. The prophecy was very limited," he smiled, "And to answer the question in your mind, yes, you can block your thoughts from me,"
'Just like how I'm doing it, but it takes a lot of practice and it gives one agonizing headaches, when learning to do so'
Whoa, did he just say that in my head or did I read his mind. I couldn't believe this, this was not happening to me. It couldnt. I was average Isabella Swan from a small Town, Forks, born and raised.
"No, you read my mind. I spoke and you listened. Believe me my dear, you're very much above average,"
Phew, at least that was said out loud. I would have totally lost it.
"So I can read minds?"
"My dear every Royal Demon can read minds,"
"So that means your royal?"
"In an eccentric way, yes."
This guy, who I have yet to know his name said he wasn't sure about how I was equal to Lucifer. He to did not know part of the prophecy, how was I suppose to know and understand well enough what was I suppose to do? If the person who was trusted to tell me about the prophecy did not fathom it himself.
I looked at his hand the ones that had grabbed my hand, it wavered showing showing his bruised and scarred hand, and went back to normal or should I say facade since I knew what he looked like for real, but how do I know he looks that if he is cursed to be trapped in one form.
How can I really trust him. What option has he given me. Was he even human?
"My lovely Isabella. I was not in trusted to keep you alive, and I'm defying those orders given to me by the elders so you better pick wisely what you think, because you might find yourself in a sordid postion." The guy sneered.
'Your suppose to kill me?' I asked in my head, gulping on the outside.
"Well to keep you alive but barley he smiled. "You see the elders believe you might be a much larger danger if you are Lucifer's equal, and would rather keep you weak. "
'...but your not hurting me, why?' I whispered in my head, "Why, help me. A person whom you don't know and have no reason to help. Why defy your ... Orders as you said?"
He snickers lightly, "You know nothing of your powers, and how much strength you wield. I see you are not under Lucifer's control and I don't think fighting a women would be very gentlemanly of me as the Lessers say,"
So, he isn't going to kill me.
He's trying to be a gentleman.
Definitely meaning he might not be human.
Then, what is he?
And what does he want?
"What are you anyway? And what do you really look like ... Without the curse and all?"
'The form you called a ... Facade was it,'
'Stop talking in my head, do that Blockage thing,'
'On the Contrary Isabella, it is you which is in my head. Alright then, so be it ... For now,'
"You see Isabella. I'm part demon part Vampire...I think I should tell you this but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone this...promise me, you'd be the third one to know. This is a way to gain some of your trust..."He asked earnestly.
I promise. I nodded, I felt as if I could trust him as all this started to sink in. I don't know why but I just did, no matter how crazy this all seemed.
"I was once human like you Isabella, seven centuries ago before I was turned into a Hybrid," he sighed taking a deep breath.
"What?"
'You heard right Isabella I was once like you, until Aries and Bia got to me fusing their power to save my life. Making me the first of my kind. They became my new mother and father you see, giving me a new life.' He smiled sadly, still speaking in my head or me reading his mind; I accepted seeing as this was ... A secret as he said, 'They could not bear children so in a sense they made me,'
'A Vampire is part human part Demon, my mother was a Vampire, Bia, my Father a Rolock Demon, Aries,'
He's a demon? I can't say I'm surprised since he did say I was Lucifer's equal, he had to be something just as terrifying.
"The human part in my mother made her part good but her dead side being Demon, made her dark like a Pure Demon in it's true form,"
"What's a Rolock Demon?"
'A Rolock Demon, which I'm official named as people do not know I was once human are Ancient Demon Royals who feed on Suffering, hatred anger and such. This fuels the their power. It is in the form of ice, it's cold to the touch but if viewed correctly it burns through you.'
"What am I? Am I like you?"
"Oh Isabella, your a Demon in it's purest form within. Your mother put a smell on you to bring out the good in you, the quarter of human the your father gave you. The gene may be recessive but it does not mean it's not there ..."
I took a few breaths before asking an important question based on what I believe in, and what I was taught.
"Does this mean I won't go to heaven?"
He laughed and put his palm on my cheek then sighed, pulling it a way. Leaving a burning sensation.
"You should be asking if you can die... "
