Going To School With The Devil (Discontinued)

Chapter 5: True Self

I put the phone back up, and ran to the front doors, locked. Every single door seemed to be locked. I sat on the tile floor and cried my eyes out. I couldn't escape from this trickster. Just then, I heard footsteps from behind me. I quickly stood up and turned around.
"Oh thank goodness you're okay, Violet."
It was John.
"Here follow me, Drake is waiting for you." he said pulling my arm.
I tried to break free, but couldn't. John was too strong, and he held my arm tight as he forced me into the cafeteria.
"Sit right here." he said coming to a table near a window.
I sat down on the chair, as John left the cafeteria and closed one of the doors at the back but not the front. At least I wasn't completely caged in.
This was horrendous! I got up and paced back and forth around the area. What did he mean by "Drake is waiting for you."
Questions whirred around in my head. Around and around they went. They were torturing me inside, because none of my questions had answers. My thoughts were put on hold all at once suddenly, the door opened with a bang!
...
"I see John did his orders just as I told him." Drake grinned and looked at me, "This is the moment I've been waiting for."
"So it was you who did all this!?" I stood up finally figuring out the mystery.
"Yes, it was me all along, and now it is time I show you who I really am."
Drake clenched his fists and the front doors slammed shut tight. I ran to the back wall scared out of my mind.
"Do not be afraid of me... I would not dare harm you."
"What are you!?" I screamed.
"I'm simply a fallen angel, or as people normally address me as, Satan." Drake chuckled, "But I prefer Drake much more, do you not as well?"
I just stayed silent, because it was the only thing I could think to do. Drake then cleared his throat and stared off into the distance.
"I wish to tell you my tale of great sorrow from when I was still... breathing."
He stared at me with lust and regret.
"It was many years ago, I lived in Paris with a good paying job. As a butcher, I made ten pounds a year. Then there was a rebellion that started up against the King, and things got complicated... I joined the rebels in their siege, and met a beautiful maiden named, Antoinette. She was the most wonderful woman I'd ever seen. Until now of course." he smiled with pride at me and told me the painful past he experienced.
...
"Oh Drake, why am I even wasting my time with you?" Antoinette asked Drake while in the butchery.
"Well mademoiselle even though you may think it as wasting. I believe it is a perfect use of time." Drake purred as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Monsieur, you are so romantic. I wish I could spend all my days with you, but alas it would put us both in grave danger."
"Antoinette you have filled my world with passion and lust. I love you." he said in a low whisper.
"As do I, my love."
The two lovers leaned in for a kiss, but a group of the King's men arrived unexpectedly.
They shouted vulgar things at the two before stabbing Antoinette with their drawn swords.
Antoinette fell to the floor cold and lifeless.
"My love! My love please speak to me!" Drake screamed through tears.
Then as he tried to get closer to her body a guard pointed his sword at Drake's neck.
"How dare you kill her! You will pay. You all will pay!"
Drake then swiftly stepped away and grabbed his cleaver, and one can only imagine how he butchered the soldiers. After doing so, he then grabbed his cloak and ran away to England.
...
"In London, I went searching on for someone to fill the hole in my heart, but made a promise to Antoinette and myself. That if a woman was not for me, even after giving her chance after chance. That I would murder them, for they do not deserve to live. This went on until the authorities caught me and I was sentenced to death at eighteen. No one suspected I would come back from the grave to continue." Drake then looked at me happily, "That is until I found the perfect soulmate, that's you Violet."
Drake then reached out of his suit pocket and took out a gold diamond ring and held it out to me.
"Violet Kessler, will you do me the honor of becoming my bride?"
I began to panic as my heart raced at this sudden surprise.
"You will live and become bound to me for all eternity, and we will never be separated until the end of time itself."
I looked nervously at the ring and then back to Drake. Repeating this action a few times.
"Take a chance my dear, and be mine."
Rushed with fear, I quickly made a run for it to the windows. I desperately banged on the glass, but no such luck. That's when my gaze darted to the chair near the window, and I instantly knew what to do. I picked up the chair and threw it aggressively at the glass. The pane then broke and I leapt out of the building.
