The Fallen Angel

The Devil himself ....2

Kyra still stood in the same spot she had been standing in since. Her eyes were still closed but she still felt his presence.

She could hear his heartbeat.....it was steady, just like his eyes when she finally opened hers.

When she opened her eyes and it met his, she immediately regretted it because she found herself gaping at him. His eyes were golden? Red? Yellow? Ash?..... "What colour is that?", She asked herself.

" I do not know either young demon", He said as he stared at her intently.
His voice reaching her ears, she forced herself to look at his face. Did he just read her mind?
When her eyes scanned his face, she cursed under her breath for the, What? 2nd or 3rd time that day. He had the face of an Angel.

Well it's what He was, An Angel..or Fallen Angel to be precise.

All Fallen Angels looked like Angels but they were a darker and Evil version of them. But this devil or THE devil was just too....... beautiful.

When the last sentence reached her head, she moved her eyes from his face and it landed on Rohan who simply nodded at her. He was fond of doing that. She didn't even know what he meant by that.

She reluctantly looked back at Lucifer who was now sitting on a big rock with his knee raised, his elbow resting on his raised knee, his chin in his palm and his head tilted as he watched her. It was all so....... tempting. She didn't know how else to put it.

"Um...good....good day Lucifer", She stammered, which was far from how she wanted to speak to him. She didn't want to sound weak. She wanted to speak with confidence. She was about to try again when suddenly, he laughed throwing his head back which made her shudder. She shook her head in disbelief, she didn't even think that The Devil could laugh like that, like he was Truly happy or something like that.

"He rarely does. You might be on his good side.", Rohan said standing beside her, his eyes fixed on the devil. She didn't even know when he had come to stand beside her. It was as if the devil had taken away her ability to feel anyone's presence but his.

"I did not know there is such a thing as a good day in Hell", Lucifer said and raked his hand through his long mid-back shiny black hair, still smiling or rather smirking.
He leaped and landed in front of her with his face just inches away from hers, "Are you afraid of me Kyra?".

It was Kyra's turn to laugh this time, "I'm more amused than afraid Lucifer", She said with her head tilted. She placed her palm on his chest and pushed him back gently before folding her hands.

Lucifer chuckled and shook his head before looking at her, his eyes narrowed," Good".

After looking at her for a while he turned around with a swift movement but before he moved, he glanced at her and said,"Follow me" and started walking away.

As if under compulsion, without saying a word Kyra followed him. She could hear her heart beating rapidly in her chest, was he going to hurt her?

She needed someone to follow her, but before she could turn around, someone held her hand tightly and her eyes widened.

She was about to draw out her dagger when she smelt a familiar scent. She didn't have to turn anymore to know it was Rohan.

"Keep walking Kyra, you'll do just fine", Rohan said as he squeezed her hand slightly. Suddenly she became calm and for some reason safe.

But who could ever be safe with the devil, Kyra thought as she looked up and watched his back as he moved. There was something about Lucifer that she just couldn't understand.
