Chapter 5 - We Meet Again
My heart is going to burst any second now, I'm still looking at him, trying to figure out if I'm hallucinating or not.
He's just as shocked as I am. Our eyes are bulging out as if both of us have seen a ghost. Well, I wish that was a ghost.
I pinch myself. "Ow!" I say out loud and look back up at him. He's still there.
"Valerie." he says. Oh my god, his voice. I'm hearing his voice again.
My senses are working again. I'm seeing him, I can smell his beautiful scent, and hear his beautiful voice. His hand is still wrapped around my wrist.
"W-What in the world are you doing here?!" I aggressively whisper.
"What are you doing here? Are you a spy too?" he says and I'm back to my shocked state. A spy. He's spying on Northvale. He's spying on the angel world. I almost forgot we're enemies.
"No... I'm..." I can't seem to get the words out. Should I tell him the truth?
He looks me up, from the tip of the crown on my head, all the way down to the end of my dress, stopping for a millisecond at my breasts, not gonna lie.
He then turns around and looks behind him, at the top of the stairs rests a huge portrait, covering the wall, of me and my parents.
"You're..." he says as he turns around, "...the princess of Northvale." he mumbles. There's a look on his face that I can't seem to figure out what it means. He looks sad and angry and confused all at the same time.
I have no clue what to do. The only thing I can do is tell my father there's a devil in our castle. I shouldn't think about our night together. And no matter how much I hate Northvale, the situation here is dangerous.
He's a spy, he wants to know Northvale's weaknesses. He's probably here to kill my parents. Nobody knows.
I turn around to start running to my father but suddenly I feel nothing but a hand around my waist and another covering my mouth.
His big hand covers my muffles and screams as he rushes away, me still glued to him. This is the first time I wish there were guards around.
He enters my bedroom and throws me on the bed before locking my door.
"Let me out right now!" I say, my wings out.
"Should that scare me?" he says as he puts his hand in his pockets, keeping on a serious face. I'm not gonna lie, he looks incredibly handsome. He's wearing a black tux, his hair slicked back, his sharp face features all shown.
"Don't underestimate me! Now answer me, what are you doing here?" I shout.
"You have a nice bedroom." he says as he starts walking around. He eyes my panties that are lying on the floor since I came back to Northvale last night, and I blush as I remember how he took those panties off of me.
"Lucifer-"
"I think you already know that I'm a spy."
"You're a dead spy. I'm going to tell my father!"
"Well I'll just take you with me to Deathfall." he says as he walks closer to me. "I can keep you hostage for as long as I want." and now we're only a few inches apart. He looks at my wings then back at me."
"What do you want from me?" I ask, an angry look on my face.
"I don't want anything from you, Valerie." the way he says my name... "Remember, I just found out you're the princess."
"And that won't affect your plan, will it?" I ask.
"No, it will not." he says and I look at the ground. How could I be so stupid? Why did I ever think that a devil might fall for me? We're always gonna be enemies. "Oh, and happy birthday, by the way." I look up at him. "You look beautiful." he says and my wings go back in.
How can he keep a straight face this whole time?
Knock knock knock
"Valerie?" I hear my mother say from the other end of the door.
I almost get a heart attack when she open my door but then I realize that Lucifer is no longer standing in front of me.
"M-Mother."
"Darling, what are you doing up here? You're birthday ball is down there!"
"I'll be right down, mother, I just needed a few minutes by myself." I tell her.
"Are you alright?" she asks.
"Wonderful. I'm so happy." I say and force a smile on my face.
"Aww, I'm glad, sweetheart. Well, don't take long, a member of your father's retinue has a very handsome son, your father wants you to meet him!" mom says all happy and leaves my room.
"Lucifer?" I say and look around.
He appears from inside my walk-in closet. I don't think I realize what's going on.
"You don't like it here, do you?" he asks.
I sigh and sit on the edge of my bed. "Not even a bit."
He stands in front of me, my face at the level of his... dick, and he looks down at me.
"Meet me tonight in Deathfall. The same place we saw each other the first time." he says and heads for my bedroom door, ready to leave.
"Wait!" I say and stand up, following him.
"Don't be late." he says and leaves, closing the door behind him.
I open it and walk out, only to find no one. He's fast.
And who does he think he is ordering me around like that? I'm not going to Deathfall ever again.
__
The ball is over, and now I'm looking at my bedroom ceiling, thinking about what I should wear tonight when I meet Lucifer.
I know, I know, I said I won't meet him. But, well, if I don't go to him, he's gonna come to me. So that won't make a difference, right?
Well, I'm just going so I could visit that bar again, so... joke's on him.
Its almost midnight, I'm pretty sure everyone's asleep.
I walk into my closet to pick something. Ugh, I need to knit more black clothes if I'm gonna visit Deathfall everyday.
I get ready and the hardest part of my mission has begun. I need to get the book from the library.
Here goes nothing.
