Diary of a Mad Poet

Isolation.

#Authors Note

I have decided to just make it one book instead of 2. 

I have lived to see the devil in me

Breathed in the cut throat

Of the Godly saint Hope

Her blood watered the flowers I sent home

That burned at the door

And it hurt

As I watched faith leave and leave only her shadow behind

Seems like what always stays behind

Is the darkness that once belonged to light

This house is a pain that binds

Serves tears to sore eyes

Held at the socket in the means of a sore sight

I do not live alone

I'm kept captive by self sabotage and over-thinking

Watched as anxiety became my bath salts

As the slow tragedy warms my heart with sad songs

This is the shower scene

Where self hate fogs the view

And consciousness gives memory of this drowning room

Every drop of gloom in its right of passage to my skin

The perfect scented perfume

This is the closed clock

Where frozen happiness lines the wall

Held hostage by a door standing cantankerous and thorned

This is desolation

The first of torments kiss

Its been 6 months since I was held in hell against my will. I spent so long reading incantation books and learning how to control my power, Dev has kept his distance and everyone else too. I know he has his demon warriors follow me around . To be honest I never thought he would let me go, to get back to my life, back to earth.

I have not seen or spoken to my family in the 6 months I have been back. I know how to create money from blank papers and honestly its the only reason I have been keeping myself afloat. I went back to school, well a different school and thanks to no one but myself, I was able to get back into routine. I live alone amongst the ghosts that follow me around, bought my own house and lied about my parents dying at a young age and that I had received funding from a rich Aunt named Lucy. Guess the devil is the only person that came to my mind when I was spitting these lies.

"Kiah!" I turned to face Niko. He had the most amazing smile.

"Niko" I smile back. He has been asking me out for the past three months and the only reason I have not agreed is not because I don't like him, I actually do but I don't exactly have the best track record with men in my life.

"How are you beautiful?" gosh I swear his smile could make anyone melt. He has light brown eyes, Chocolate brown skin that reminds all of us to love all of this beautiful melanin in our skin. He is tall and plays soccer, so his body is perfectly toned and just... wait I'm drooling. I turn away noticing how big his smile is. "I didn't know I was that good looking Ma"

"I was thinking about someone else" I try to brush off how I was staring at him.

"pffft you want me just as much as I want you and you know it" he starts dragging me into the school.

"Nope, she likes me" Dominic says right behind us.

"Domi!!!!" I turn with a huge smile on my face and hug her. Dominique is honestly the hottest stud I have ever met, beautiful short brown hair. Two lip piercings and a few more on her ears. she is Latino and just as crazy as I am.

I found two really great friends even though I didn't trust them at first because well, trust issues. Thought they would try something and so far all they do is flirt and Domi actually sees spirits too although she doesn't like to speak about it, but I know. I see how she acts when she comes to my house. I'm a magnet for these things. The three of us walk into our first class with Dom and Niko bickering about who loves me more and I find it cute. It's actually nice to have friends, I've always been a loner. Sitting down and watching these two is nice too, I feel at peace. But my peace never lasts does it.

In walks Victor, bloody Victor of all people!!. And he walks right up to my table causing a pause in the classroom and Niko looks ready to protect. "Long time no see your majesty" he bows, okaaaay... "I've been ordered here by your husband to bring you back, you have had enough space". He sounds like a robot, it's so weird.

"Victor go away" I say lowly and as calmly as I can master.

"Wait, what is he talking about? your husband? Kiah are you married?" The shock and astonishment on Niko's face is so adorable and heartbreaking at the same time. He looks so broken. He might really like me, I've never used my magic to check because I refuse to invade anyone's mind and feelings.

"I'm not married Niko chill out, I need to have a word with Victor here, I'll be back" I say as I stand up giving a reassuring smile as I follow Victor out of the classroom. He better have a good explanation for his appearance here. Walking out of the room, my guard is up and ready.

"What are you doing her Victor?" my voice sounds a bit too bitter and that scares me, Victor is not a bad demon but born of bad demon blood and that makes him bad by default.

"Lucifer sent me, a lot has happened since you left, a war broke out between fake good and evil" he stands tall and clearly its really him in front of me and not his shadow.

"What do you mean fake good?" is there such a thing? probably is, with the way the world is today.

"You know, the people who commit evil deeds in the name of God and all that is holy, they kill, torture and some have even gone as far as creating a book that suppresses women and allowing men to be superior" he says as he leans on the wall opposite myself.

"You're speaking about the bible?" it came out more as a question than a statement.

"There are many books out there that suppress women Grace" he says with a scowl, like the words coming from his mouth have left a bitter taste. The words seem to affect him more than they should, he still is the son of a demon king.

"And back to the reason you are here, why would the devil send you of all people or rather demon spawns?" I enquire with a fake smile.

"Because I joined him" my smile starts to slowly drop as I invade his mind to find any sign of lies, his memories show the death of his sister by his fathers hand and the heartbreak he went through. I see him bow before Lucifer and a handshake that proves his alliance. He tells the truth. "We believe that your return could silence the war and bring peace"

"I see, I'm not interested in coming back, soon I'll be graduating, I have no plans in staying in hell with a rapist" He stands leaning on the wall unimpressed. "I refuse to be used Victor, I don't care what happens in hell" I walk towards him making sure to not break eye contact. "Leave" Victor stands up straight and starts walking away from me. Something is off, it shouldn't be that easy.

"Your family will be the ones to fetch you if you don't come back in 3 days Grace, I have warned you and by the way, you have everything to do with hell" and with that he disappears into thin air. Dammit! Why can't I have a peaceful life.
