(4)She crossed the room like a bolt of lightning, she snatched book from his hand .

"Just because I have comics does not make me lovelorn! Look they all have good stories."

"Really? What is this one about", pointing to the one in her hand

"Oh, this one is my favourites, it is about a girl who is shy and introverted. But she meets a guy unexpectedly and falls in love. But he turned out to be a devil....", she halted noticing a familiarity, her face began to feel warm again. 

"I'm not a devil, I'm a Fah'Rey", he smirked at her reddening face. His wings shimmered a hypnotic aquamarine, swirly pattern.

"Fah'Rey?" He responded by buzzing his blue wings. "Oh! Like Tinkerbell!! He laughed warmly and casually put his clawed hand on her knee, a wave of crimson rushed through his wings.

"Yes something like that", he smiled so sweetly she felt her heart jump.

He then started to sniff at the air like he was a dog picking up a scent. Jumped to his feet and looked around wildly.

He proceed to frantically knock on every wall, piece of furniture and finally on the confused girl's forehead.

"Ouch! What the hell are you doing!"

"Isn't it obvious, looking to find a way out of here!"

Pointing dejectedly at the door, "There is a perfectly good way out there, why don't you use it?"

"Yes I can see that! I am not talking about a way out of your room girl. I'm looking for a way out of this insipid story!"

"I have no idea what you are talking about, this isn't a story"

With a rolling of his exasperated eyes," I wouldn't expect you to understand, since you are such a great "student". My devilish brother has innumerable faults to his character, but he is very clever. In his correspondence with you I assume he was sharing his "stories". When you objected to the content did he suggest writing a story together?"

"Um...yes"

"And this story began with a lot of words about weaving, joining, for eternity?"

"Uh huh"

"And exactly what genre of story were you both writing"

"A love story"

"Dammit! That clever bastard! He cast a spell on you, didn't I tell you not to trust him!"

"Hey! This is not my fault! You just told me not to trust him, just now! Wait, let me message him and ask what is going on"

"Dear, let me tell you exactly what is "going on" he tricked you into agreeing to trap me into your love story. He imprisoned me in it until I achieve a goal. Like doing something for love or other such nonsense"

"Oh... is that really so difficult I have a cute face", she smiled adorably.

"Yes adorable, but the problem is I am simply incapable of love"

"Oh, really?, she looked crestfallen like a cute faced puppy who was denied their favourite treat. "Why would he do something like this? Do you hate each other so much?"

"Quite the opposite, he is doing it out of a misguided sense of love. The fool loves everybody and everything, it is really kind of obnoxious the way he goes on and on about it. He is solving two problems at once, scheming to impress our mother on her birthday, so she will give him the Kingdom. and teaching me a morality lesson about love"

"Kingdom?"

"I can see why he chose you now, you are already dreaming of being a princess!"

"No! I just want...." It was at that moment her phone came to life, { Kiss me more.. by Doja Cat} played interrupting her defence. "It's Nibbler!"

Once again, a theatrical eye roll, and mimicking sticking a finger down his throat. " Isn't that just perfect!"

"What is going on?" She said with exasperation into the phone, "what did you do Nibbler?"

The response was a playful chuckle,"hello my sweet! Did my dear brother appear? I am sure you two will hit it off splendidly! Oh brother everything will work out if you just put your heart in the right place. I will save you a piece of cake!!!!"

Like a boy who was just told he couldn't have a piece of birthday cake, The Creature sat on the bed and sulked.

"Wait I think I have idea!" The girl proclaimed....
