Ruling darkness

Rena's pov

It's 6:30 in the morning when I started hearing noises from my kitchen. Usually I brush it off as my imagination. This time it sounded vivid. Like I wasn't dreaming about the noise.

Slowly and quietly getting up from the bed I grabbed my dagger and move towards the kitchen.

Turning the corner I came face to face with Jake eating my cereal. His back turned towards me all of a sudden. I smirked thinking of how good of an opportunity I have.

I krept slowly towards him with the handle of my dagger facing him.

"Put the bowl down before I take you to hell." I whisper in a ghoulish voice.

"Shit..."

Slowly I grabbed the back of his neck and tickled it. Dropping my bowl in the sink he screamed thinking a ghoul actually touched him.

"Fucking hell Ree?! You known that's not funny. I almost shat myself thanks to you."

"That should teach you not to breaking into my apartment! I could have killed you, lucky I saw you before I attacked!"

"What you'd do that?"

"Jake what the hell would you be doing here at 6 in the morning for cereal. You know how to knock or no?"

"I was hungry and you were taking your own devil time to get up."

"Save me now Satan before I commit treason." I prayed.

"Jake your in my house eating my cereal at 6 in the morning while I was asleep, not to mention almost shat yourself in my kitchen, how do you think your right?"

"I was hungry and wanted to check up on you."

"Do you ever sleep?"

"Ahh I'm glad that you asked that. The answer is...no."

"You should try it, it's really good for you."

"I'll take it into consideration. Anyway back to why I'm here, how do you feel about tomorrow?"

"You mean Arlo?" I ask putting my dagger down grabbing a bowl of cereal.

"Yeah.."

"Not the happiest, but Shea's word goes. You know the rules."

"I was hoping you'd want to quit." He said jokingly.

"Haha, in your dreams."

"I mean think about it, Arlo is going to use us until we might as well jump of the castle walls."

"We have Kristlyn." I say finding a positive end.

"Yeah I guess, I feel like we're doing it because of his and Shea's history."

"Feeling are last in this business Jake, we learnt that first day here."

"Rena, have you ever been in love?"

"In here no. I was out there, this guy Mason. He was amazing then I died and ended here and it took him 2 weeks after my death to go fuck my best friend. That's when I put this job before feelings."

"See we all had a life before this...With love."

"Not Shae or Arlo, even Kristlyn. Some of the people here where born to be in Darkonia Jake. You and me came here because we weren't Gods 'angels'. And I never once regret it. Shae had to live from bloodline we didn't, so if she makesa decision then listen to it, she's been I the game longer."

"What's the story about ancestors then? I've heard rumors about it."

"Well it says that were put in Darkonia for a reason. Because we do have bloodlines here. That when our family members died there they came and made Darkonia, Darkonia. That's somewhere we are set to rule darkness. Some say that we ended up here to finish our lineage. That's why we're here."

"Do you belive it?"

"Yeah I do. I mean why do you think we are really here? Because we were destined to be here, our lineage was ment to be here."

"Rena sometimes I wonder how you died to be here. Your not ment for here." He says in awe

I smiled at him, we sat the rest of the morning eating in silence.
