I'm engaged to the Grim Reaper? Seriously?*Editing*

Chapter Three

.:Living Room:.

"Speed!! Ha, I win again! You're so slow, Lucas." I said, slamming down my last card.

"No fair! Cheater!" he cried, putting his head down.

"It's not cheating if I moved faster than you."

"Shyeah, I'd like to see how fast you move in bed."

"LUCAS!!!!!"

"What?" he asked, innocently.

I rolled my eyes as Emma socked Lucas in the face for being a perv. Emma had been staying in Satan's Castle for about a week now. We've become good friends. Emma is really easy to get along with. Oh, I also found out that Jessica is the jealous, possessive type.

Anywho, we were all in the living room playing the infamous game of Speed. Lucas had lost -- for the 18th time -- and i was still crowned champ. Jessica had her head resting on my lap and I was sitting on Neo. Emma was in the middle playing referree. Lucas was siiting across from me on the coffee table and Lucifer was on the recliner, reading a book.

Everyone but Damion was here. And just where is my lovable (gag me -.-') finace you ask?

'Cue the flashback' I thought bitterly.

.:Earlier Today:.

"Are you sure you're okay, Kry?" Neo asked, touching my cheek.

"Yes, for the billionth time. I'm fine.The bruise is almost gone. I'm a pretty fast healer and I can't feel pain."

"He hasn't talked to you since then?"

"Nope. He'll look at me like he wants to say something, but just walks away. He's a stubborn a**hole."

"That's true. But he's not abusive. You must've said something that really ticked him off." He said, in thought.

"Yeah...well anyhow, where's Lucas and the others?"

"Out. It's just you, me, and Damion."

"Thanks, Neo."

"For what?" He asked, picking a book to read from my bookshelf.

"Not leaving me." I blushed.

"Oh, anytime. Besides someone as to keep you company." He said, smiling innocently.

I smiled and threw my arms around his neck. I hugged him tightly and he just smiled. I felt my shoulders tremble as my emotions began to build up. I smiled, sadly. Neo was alot like Jason. He always worried for me and about me. He was like a brother sometimes more. Maybe if Damion knew more about me like Neo did, I could feel that way towards him too.

Neo looked at me, apatheticially. "Then why don't you let him?"

"Because he's too stubborn to let me let him." i said, picking my head up and looking at Neo.

"True, but--"

"Neo! Come here. I need your assisstance." Lucifer said, cutting Neo off.

Neo smiled sadly to me. I realised him. He walked away and i sat on my bed. Now i was really alone. even if Neo was only a few rooms away, i felt isolated. Lucifer was not planning on making my life any easier, I sighed as got up. I walked into the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

My cheek was still a little purple. I sighed. The bruise was barely noticable. i pulled my shirt off and looked at my body. There were a few fading bruises near my ribs and on my stomach. There were also slashes across my stomach. I cringed as I touched them and let tears slip as memories flowed through my mind.

.: Damion's POV :.

The dark music surrounded me as I laid back on my bed. Krystal was still stuck on my mind and i didn't know what to do. It had been a whole week since I had spoken to her. There were times when I would want to tell her something but I'd walk away. It was too difficult to face her. To see the bruise on her cheek. To know that I was the one who caused it. I inflicted that pain upon her.

I sighed as I got up. I walked over to my closet. I pulled out my robes and sighed again. I hated this job. Taking people's lives wasn't what i wanted to do for the rest of my mind. I wanted to just be me and have my father's approval. I always craved his approval. Ever since i was a child. It was all I ever really wanted.

But he never cared for me. He treated me as he did a mere servant. The only way he would accept me as me is if I would marry Krystal. My actions were selfish and mean. Krystal deserved better than me.

She deserved to be happy. With me, she would only obtained misery. I shook my head as I walked into the bathroom. Whimpering caught my attention and I looked up. I saw Krystal leaning closer to the mirror examining her stomach. I saw that she had bruises and scars on her stomach. I gasped.

She heard me and spun around. Her eyes showed horror as she back up. I walked closer to her and she fell to the floor. She covered her face with her hands protectively. I gasped, approaching her with gentelness.

"NO DON'T GET MAD AT ME, SISSY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!! PLEASE DON'T HIT ME ANYMORE!!!!" she screamed, frightened.

I gasped and grabbed her arm. I pulled her into my chest and gently stroked her back.

"Shhh. Hush now little child. It's okay. i won't hurt you. i promise." I whispered in her ear.

She calmed down as she noticed it was me and I sighed. I cradled her body close to mine and I walked to the shower. I turned on the water. As gently as I could manage, I stripped her down. She seemed to recover in time to slap me hard across the face.

"What're you doing, you perv?" she spat.

"You need to take a shower. It'll help you calm down."

"You care?" She seemed shocked.

"Yes. i'm sorry for hurting you. But i can't like you."

"Yeah..."

I turned around and began to walk away. I felt a tug on my seleve and turned back to Krystal. She was blushing bad. This sudden motion sparked my curiousity. When she spoke, it was in a cute, innocent voice.

"Do you wanna join me?"

"W-what? Why?" I asked, blushing.

"Because you have to work and I don't want you late because of me. And..um..when we're married aren't we gonna do this to?" she said, shyly.

"I guess so. Well if you insist."

I quickly stripped down and got in the shower with Krystal. She closed the curtains and let the hot water run down her body. She closed her eyes in comfort and i blushed. She looked so beautiful. i took this moment to examine her body. I groaned as I saw a whole bunch of scars and bruises. She seemed to have notice I was watching her cuz she giggled. I rolled my eyes and switched spots with her.

.:Krystal's POV:.

I smiled as Damion washed his body off. He looked so cute. It was hard to resist him when he was covered in small driplets of water. I sighed. I couldn't believe I had a freak out on him. Normally, I was good about hiding that, but I just snapped when Damion walked in. It was probably because he hit me. It reminded me so much of Holly.

Well, if any of you haven't guessed by now, I was abused as a child. Holly would always beat when I did something she didn't like. So I got used to pain. It didn't hurt anymore, but I never told anyone about it. Neo is the only who knows.

Now Damion does too, but I'm not sure if I can trust him. Partly because trusting someone means you love them. And I can't love Damion. He's too good for me. I don't deserve him. He's too tender-hearted.

After the shower, i got out and dressed. Damion walked to me and I looked at him. He put something in my hand and walked away. I looked at the card, sighing. It was an invitation. I put it aside and walked to my room.

.:Back to Now:.

So yeah that's pretty much what happened. Damion's at work and I'm stuck here baby sitting. Oh well.
