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

Chapter Thirty Three

.:Flashback:.

"Krystal, is that you?" Lucifer asked, as I hid behind the door crying.

I had just had another fight with Damion. He had gotten me so mad. I just ran from the room, not even paying attention to where I had ended up. i looked up at Lucifer and he chuckled.

He shook his head, knowing himself how difficult his son was being about this. Lucifer held out a hand to help me up. I accepted, just needing to be comforted.

Lucifer shut the door to his office as he aloud me in. He sat me on his couch and gently rubbed my back. Lucifer wasn't being such a huge jerk, as when I first moved in. He would often do things like this for me. I heard a beeping noise and looked at Lucifer. He growled as he answered his phone.

"Hello?"

Pause.

"No. I don't accept that. We made a deal. It will stand." Lucifer threatened.

I watched as his expression hardened. I felt my body shake with fear as his stare turned deadly.

"What? He's where?"

Lucifer growled as he walked over to me and roughly pulled me behind him. He whispered for me to stay quiet and do as he says. I shut my eyes as I listened for what was bugging Lucifer. I heard heavy, hard footsteps storm up the hallway. My heart quickened as it neared the door.

I slowly opened my eyes as I heard the door open. My eyes widened win fear as I saw the monster before me. It was a man about 5'11. He was muscular and firm. He wore the attire of royalty. But that's not what frightened me.

What frightened me was his eyes. They were blood shot red and dead. His whole aura imitated hate and wrath. His mouth was in a firm scowl. He was just as beautiful as he was deadly.

Lucifer stood tall and unaffected by his presence. I could sense some worry, but I must have been mistaken. Lucifer was too cold to worry for himself, let alone anyone else. The man before us left out a horrid growl. I shook my head slightly as fear threatened to take over. I had to be strong and brave.

Lucifer looked behind the man and smirked. I followed his gaze and gasped. Standing behind the demon, was a girl who looked around my age. She was wearing servants clothes, which were all tattered and ruined. She had bruises and scratches all along her body. She shivered from being nude. I growled.

That really upset me. She was human, like me. But they treated her as if she were nothing but garbage. I growled fiercely as I stormed past Lucifer. I walked up to the girl and grabbed her by her hand. She looked at me shocked as I yanked her from the guards. One guard growled as he grabbed my shoulder. I snapped and roughly flipped him over my shoulder.

I pulled the girl with me to my room. Damion looked up and glared at me. I hissed at him as i kicked him off my bed. The girl watched in shock as Damion fell to the floor.

I walked to my drawer and pulled out some underclothes. I walked to my closet and pulled out a shirt and some jeans. I pulled the girl to the shower and threw her in.

"Clean yourself." I growled.

She nodded, trembling as I shut the shower door. Damion chuckled as he watched me. I rolled my eyes. Damion walked off to his room as the water turned off. The girl came out with a towel wrapped around her. She dressed in the clothes I gave her.

I sighed as I sat on my bed and watched her. She looked so miserible.

"Why?" I mumbled.

She looked at me, puzzled. "Excuse me."

"Why do you put up with them?"

"I have no choice. Humans are slaves in this realm."

I sighed in defeat. So why was I treated so differently? "Are you treated horrible here?"

"I was, until.." She became silent as a blush hit her face.

"Until what?"

"Well, I thought all demons were horrible till I met Prince Edward. He doesn't see me as a slave."

I smiled, slightly. "Is that the man whose here now?"

"No. That's his father, Deagon. He wants me as his pet." The girl shook with fear.

So that explains why Lucifer was being a tightwad. i sighed as i got up. I had to take her back or Lucifer would kill me. We walked back in silence. She held my hand tightly as we approached the door.

I slowly opened it and came face to face with the demon known as Deagon. I felt fear creep through me. I glared at him as I gently handed over the girl.

Lucifer growled as he quickly pulled me away. I watched in shock as Deagon tried to slice through me with his sword. "Next time I won't miss."

I growled as Deagon's guards cornered us. We had been so close to escaping before we were caught. Charlotte held me tight. Seth snarled as the guards closed in on us. Deagon was beyond pissed. I handed Charlotte to Seth and told them to run. To go back to the castle and not look back. Charlotte's eyes widened as Seth reluctantly agreed.

He cried out for me as they ran off.

I growled as I came face to face once more with Deagon. He smirked as he looked me over. I rolled my eyes as I flipped away from his guards. I quickly ducked down and spin kick a guard. I wasn't in the mood to play with them. Deagon's guards quickly overtook me, though. I growled as I fought effortlessly against them.

I was as good as dead.

.:Damion's POV:.

I growled as I watched Krystal's friends run back into the castle. They looked soulless and dead. I saw the child know as Charlotte crying. i was confused. Where was Krystal/ She would never leave their side.

And then as if to answer my question, a cry sounded throughout the forest. It was loud and painful. A cry marking the end.

A cry of death.

Charlotte cried harder as the human girl comforted him. Seth looked absolutely lifeless. I felt my heart shattered as I realized whose cry that was. I fell to my knees. I couldn't muster the effort to get up.

It couldn't be, right? Krystal wasn't dead. She couldn't be. Charlotte looked at me and growled. He pushed the girl away and ran at me. He began to beat against my chest as he wailed. I could barely feel him.

"This is all your fault! why couldn't you just protect her?! Why?!" He yelled.

Seth tried to pull him away. "No! Stop! It's his fault!! He killed her!!" Charlotte wailed, "He killed my mother!!!"

I felt my heart skip a beat as i snapped my head to Charlotte. I grabbed him by his shoulder tightly. "What? What did you say?"

"You killed my mom!!" Charlotte mumbled as he gave into his tears. He wrapped his arms around my neck and sobbed into my shoulder.

Krystal was his mother. But how? With who? I looked up at Seth and he shook his head.

"Is..is he m-mine?" I stuttered, almost afraid he'd say no.

Seth nodded his head, with a look of pain. I wrapped my arms around him tightly as I felt the tears roll down my cheeks. This couldn't be real. I just lost the love of my life and gained a son at the same time. Just how cruel is this world?
