The Darkness Inside Of Her

New Faces

That is Zara's "ball gown".

"Are you sure I don't look ridiculous?"

I could feel my face burning with intense amounts of heat. I probably looked like a tomato.

"You look beautiful." Jade says.

"Thanks girl. If it wasn't for you Ow ould be in pain forever."

"Don't kill the mood Zara." She growls.

"So that's what beautifuls name is." A husky voice spoke from behind us.

I turned slowly, almost to slowly to find a very good looking man in a suit.
" My name is Charles." He smiled.

"Prince Charles!" Jade shouted.

"I am sorry I didn't notice.." she bows slowly.

Taking her moves into my eyes and do the same. I want to lay on the low. There is always a pain worse then death and I really don't want to be tortured any more then I have been.

"Please don't bow Zara." He purrs.

My breath hitches. That was rude of him. What about Jade? Was she chopped liver or something.

"I will bow if Jade has to bow." I say calmly. No matter how charming he is, I won't make my friend go through that.

"How sweet of you. You realize it is ones duty to bow before royalty. The only reason I may deny your loyalty is because you are my beloved." He chuckles. "Do not be confused. Jade is not confused. Do not have a single worry. In this realm you aren't always burned alive. Some people here need love. That is why the council pairs us all up. Your charming Lucifer is someone elses. He thought he loved you because you reminded him of his Penelope whom he thought was gone forever. I was unmated until you walked into this room. It's somewhat like like the were, but since were aren't real its somewhat different. I am a demon prince. Though you would think I slice people in half, that is not me. That is Lucifers part. I simply keep it peaceful. Because Lucifer makes stupid moves, if I didn't fill this role... Lets just say there would be war between all relms." he said. This was all just to much.

"Excuse my Charles but I need something to drink. I will see you later?" I smile.

"Oh course Zarabellia."

When he said that I froze.

What did he just call me?

"I called you Zarabellia. Don't think it's creepy that I can read your mind. You will be able to do the same when we finish the mating." He smiles.

"Okay..." I say walking away. That's really creepy.

I just told you it's not something to flip out over Zarabellia.

Get out of my mind!

I don't want to. Why did you leave her friend here?

I thought she was following me...

Of course not. She is with some snazzy guy in a snazzy suit.

Good for her. I mentally clap my hands.

Not good. That is Joshua. He will drain her soul if she gets in a private area with him. If not, she is his mate.

That's a bad thing? Wouldn't he treat her right if she was?

Hmmm.. Maybe I don't know. The thing is, he could treat her like a princess. The bad thing about this is if he doesnt he will probably reject her or torture her. Rejecting isn't simple, and even when rejected you still are connected to your mate. He just doesn't want anything to do with you.

How unfair. Hope that doesn't happen to me or her. She especially does not diserve that.

I would never do that to you.

Really? ..

Never.
