Spying on the Devil ( Rewrite )

Chapter one: How it started

Picture is of Sapphire! 😉 A lot of things will be different in this story, not the characters though. Please be aware that you don't need to read the original story as this basically is another totally different version, but follows the story line of the old book. Thank you to my loyal readers and remember vote and comment, it shows me you want me to write more. Again thank you all for your support with the other story, I hope this one receives the same results. 😉

Chapter 1:

He lounged on a raven black throne, decorated with shiny white skulls and the most detailed blood red roses I had ever seen. Intimidating anyone who dared come close. The figure perched upon the dark beauty was masked by a cloak; it was made from the finest silks and leather and was the colour of the darkest night. My fingers itched to pull that cloak off his head to see who hid underneath, but I never got close enough to the man. His face would forever be concealed by the shadows in which his cloak would create, masking his identity from the world.

He sat on the throne with an aura of arrogance and loneliness. The room I was in was deathly quiet, which added to the scariness of the situation, the walls were painted a midnight black hiding the corners in shadows. The floors were a marble colour, polished to perfection making the lights above reflect on the floor, twinkling peacefully. A few steps lead up to the man Daring me to walk up them, but like normal I was glued to the spot and undeniably invisible to the world around me and the man in front of me.

"Hello..." I heard my voice echo around the near empty room. I knew it was pointless to try and make contact with anyone in my dream, but this time something felt different. Annoyed that nobody could hear me, I stared at the ceiling where a beautiful chandelier dangled from the rocky ceiling. Its diamonds sparkled softly from the flames that kept the room alight.

Pulling my gaze from the ceiling, I realised I was wearing a black corset dress, black flat slipper shoes and my blonde hair was curled and hung over my left shoulder. A black ribbon was tied around my neck adding to the elegant look. I tried yet again to make contact with the man, trying to catch his attention. "Hey... you creepy dude in the big ass cloak, yeah you... I'm talking to you!" I screamed in frustration bored as usual. But this time, his head snapped painfully to where I was standing and the strangest, mesmerising red eyes stared at me from beneath the darkness of the cloak. They pierced into my blue ones and if I hadn't have known I was dreaming, I would have sworn he was staring straight at me, into my soul.

Awaking from the dream, I lay in bed trying to catch my breath and control my heart beat, which if you needed to know was trying to beat its way out of my chest. I was sweating nervously, that had never happened before in my dreams! His red eyes looked so cold from the obvious lack of emotion, I found myself wanting to comfort the strange man sat on the dark throne, it was as if I was still there in that dark beautiful room with him. What was really weird was he actually looked at me as if I was really there!

I ran my shaking fingers through my tangled ash blonde hair, I was paranoid that I could still feel his presence in the room. I looked around my bedroom at the lilac painted walls, to the black furniture of my wardrobe, dresser and night stand. Shaking my head at my childish thoughts, I threw off my plain white covers and swung my legs out of bed.

Letting out a small yawn I stretched my arms above my head, feeling my shoulders crack, I smiled. Walking over to my bathroom, my feet sinking into my black fluffy carpet, I pulled open my bathroom door ready to start my morning routine. I switched the light on and waited as it flickered on for a moment. I let out an ear piercing scream at the sight I saw...

So what do you think? I think chapter has given you the reader more information about the characters, I also left it on a cliff hanger... sorry guys. 😅 The more votes and comments I receive the quicker I'll update the book as I will be able to see what you guys thought of this first chapter. I'm also not feeling very well at the moment, so please bare with me guys, thanks and don't forget to show my story some love by clicking the comment button and the vote button,
