Ella:
"Ella, don't lose hope and keep looking for him. Only you can defeat that devil, you have the power to make him weak, use it, and defeat him. Talk less and watch more. You are the chosen one, don't forget."
He said and then I saw him vanishing from my sight leaving me with my bewildered thoughts. "Ethan? Ethan...." I screamed his name as the room turned black again and I felt like I was pushed back with a great force. I gasped loudly and then sat up.
"Ahhh..."
I opened my eyes, just to see I was still naked on the cold floor with blood smeared all over my body, I hissed from the pain as I had sat abruptly. The men surrounded around me were gone and I saw Oliver the devil slaughtering a man's neck in a swift way as a fountain of blood flowed out from his neck and his body fell down lifelessly.
I screamed in fear, "Ahhh..." And Oliver the devil rushed to me with a surprising look on his face, "You're alive, you're back." He exclaimed as he held me tightly and I saw the fear and worry in his eyes, shockingly.
Fear and worry? For who? For me?
I was startled by his sudden hug that was filled with worry, after scanning my body when he was sure that I am ok and alive, he sighed in relief, and then he did something unexpected. The wrist that was before cut by him he pushed that near to my mouth and forced me to drink his blood. I shook my head and struggled under his strength but it was of no use as he pushed his wrist forcefully into my mouth and his blood rushed down into my throat making it feel like it was burning.
My stomach churned at the bitter taste of his blood but he didn't let me spit it out.
He kept his wrist pressed on my mouth blocking me from spitting out his blood. When he was satisfied that I had successfully drunk his blood he then stood up and growled angrily. "The ritual has been done, if anyone..." He then turned to look at everyone in the room while pointing his finger straight while his eyes were turning red from extreme anger.
"If any of you dare to get close to her or try to harm her, then you all have to face me with my worst self." He announced and then walked to me with heavy steps, he then picked me up in his arms and I hissed in pain, "Ahhh..."
Just then, like a gust of wind, I found myself in the tub filled with warm water, it eases my body pain but the main in my heart was still. Now I don't have fear in my heart from Oliver the devil but the anger.
"Get out," I scowled at him with all the strength I had left in me. He looked shocked by my loud reaction but didn't move a bit.
"I told you, you had brought it yourself." He said with a clenched jaw but I was so much filled with anger and my blood was boiling to see him like this unbothered and unguilty from the things he had done to me.
"Get out," I again shouted at him and this time surprisingly he shook his head at me and then left the bathroom. I leaned my head in the tub as I started thinking about my dream, "Oliver, where are you now?" I muttered while sighing helplessly.
...
I was in deep sleep when I felt someone holding me up, I was in a warm embrace. I snuggled into it because it was giving me ultimate comfort. I didn't know how long I slept but when I woke up, I felt fresh and alive.
I sat up while rubbing my eyes and surprisingly I didn't feel any discomfort in my body. I was raped by twenty men yesterday. How come I felt so light now? I felt shocked and then stood up to look at myself in the mirror.
I frowned in shock as my bruised body was totally healed, there was not a single trace of any mark of the bruises on my body, I turned my body and there was no mark at my back. I felt astonished and while I was wondering what had happened to me suddenly a shadow walked out from the mirror scaring the hell out of me.
"Ahhh..." I shouted while staggering back in fear.
"haha, it's me." I heard a low chuckle and then that dark shadow changed into Oliver, I frowned in displeasure and then grabbed the sheets to cover my naked body from him. He frowned while looking at my actions but didn't say anything.
"I need to talk with you," He said with a serious face and I gulped nervously, "There is nothing to talk about, let me go please.." I tried to plead with him but it was of no use as he shook his head in refusal. "It's impossible now."
He told me and I couldn't help but sigh in defeat, as I sat at the corner of the bed with tears in my eyes. After a while, he sat beside me but I moved away so that we could have some distance between us.
"The ritual we performed last night worked." He informed me and I felt confused by his words.
"What does it mean?" I asked, "A devil could never keep a human beside him, humans are always a great threat for us but..." He paused, stared at me with deep emotions surging in his eyes, and then continued, "I had requested the authority to let you stay beside me and for that, you have to go through that ritual. No human has ever survived that ritual but you... You survived and now you will be the first woman to bond with a devil forever." He said and I gasped in disbelief.
"No," I yelled and then stood up as he held my hand and pulled me back to sit on the bed. "You have to accept this Ella, after 15 days I am gonna marry you and take you to my world." He revealed and I was dumbstruck.
Marriage? His World?
I didn't have any words to say at all as I stayed quiet, stared at him blankly, and then something unexpected happened that brought me back from my trance. Oliver, the devil lowered his head and sealed my lips. I trembled from his touch. My lips were not painful anymore but the memories of all those beasts came back to my mind as I impulsively pushed Oliver away and shouted at him in a hoarse voice, "Do Not Touch Me."
