The Devil's Playground

Chapter 4

D4) I woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom. It's been about a week since I've gotten to the castle and I've been getting closer to Reese in that time. As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I screamed.

My black eyes were now a crimson color. I heard Reese rush into the bathroom as I kept rubbing my eyes to see if its just because I woke up. "What's wrong?" Reese asked me as he instantly came to my side. I looked up at him and said, "What happened to my eyes?" He looked shocked at first but then he smiled and kissed my forehead. "The ring is starting your process of changing into a demon. You'll start noticing things are changing for you physically the longer you wear the ring." Reese told me as he held me.

This just made everything feel so much more real.

"Go and get dressed. I'm sure my dad will say something during breakfast about it." Reese told me and I nodded and got dressed. We both went downstairs and when we got into the dining room, Lucifer smiled real wide when he saw me.

As Reese and I sat down, Lucifer said, "I can see the ring is doing what it's suppose to do." I just nodded. As I was drinking my orange juice, he said, "We can start preparations for the engagement party." I started choking on my juice at the words engagement party. "E-Engagement party?" I said between coughs. "Yes, we are going to have an engagement party. My first born son is getting married to you, if you didn't forget." Lucifer said to me. "With a bunch of demons though? I've barely gotten used to living in a house with the devil and his children though." I said to him, getting a little annoyed. "The party will be in a month from today, so you'll be ready by the time it comes." He told me. I stood up and said, "Excuse me."

I left the dining room and started going up stairs when someone grabbed my arm. I turned around and calmed down when I saw it was Reese. "Your dad doesn't understand how overwhelming all of this is. It's only been a week and I'm just starting to change into a demon. I don't even feel comfortable around demons beside you." I said to Reese, feeling stressed out. He hugged me and said, "I know. I'm sorry about my dad. All he thinks about is himself and you can't really change his mind once he decided something. I'll be here through everything though. It is our Engagement party." I sighed and nodded. He was right, and knowing he'll be here through everything makes me feel better.

As Reese and I were hugging each other, a voice said, "Well look at the happy couple." We both looked towards the bottom of the stairs and saw Lucas standing there with Greg. Reese stood in front of me glaring at them as he said, "What do you two want?" "What makes you think we want something?" Lucas said to him with a smirk on his face as Greg and him walked up the stairs. As the walked past us, both Lucas and Greg looked me in the eyes. "Bye Jasmine." Lucas said as they both went upstairs. Reese looked really mad. He grabbed my hand and I followed him to his room. I laid down on his bed as I watched him pace back and forth. "They're planning something. I just know it." Reese said to me. I grabbed Reese's hand and pulled him over to the bed so he'd lay down with me. I looked into his eyes and said, "Just don't think about them. Maybe they're just messing around." "They don't mess around though. Once they see something they want, they go after it and there's no stopping them. When our engagement party finally happens, they might stop but I don't even know if that'll make them stop." He told me with worry in his voice. "Then lets just focus on preparing for the party then and we'll keep an eye on them as we do that, alright?" I asked him. "I don't know." He said to me. I kissed him lightly on the lips as I said, "Just don't worry about it. If something does happen, you'll be there the second it happens."
-FF a week-
I was sleeping in my bed when I felt someone on top of me. I opened my eyes and since I basically have demon eyes now- I can see a lot better than I used to- and I instantly saw it was none other than Lucas on top of me, but he looked different. He had bat like wings protruding out of his back and had ram horns coming out of his head. To be honest, seeing him like that really did scare me but I didn't focus on that. I tried pushing him off as I said, "Get the hell off of me, Lucas." He didn't answer me and he kept a tight grip on my shirt as he tried to pull down my pajama shorts. I felt all this anger well up inside me and that's when I pushed Lucas so hard that I sent him flying into the wall. He ripped my shirt off when I pushed him, but I wasn't worried about that. I just felt so angry that I got up and balled my fists up. I walked over to Lucas and just as I was about to hit him in the face, Reese came rushing in the room. He looked angry at first, but he stopped me from punching Lucas. He took off his shirt and handed it to me as Reese's siblings and his dad came into my room. I put his shirt on as Selena said, "What happened in here?" "Lucas got what he deserved, that's what." Reese said to them as he put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. "I see you have gotten the strength of a demon already, you're even stronger than Lucas." Lucifer said with a smile. I felt Reese tense up after his dad said that and I said, "Can you guys just take Lucas out of here, please?" Peter and Warren both picked up an unconscious Lucas and everyone left the room until it was just Reese and I left. He kissed my forehead and held me closer to him. "I hate that my dad doesn't even care about you. But he doesn't care about anyone, not even his own children. All he thinks about is himself, just like everyone in my family just thinks about themselves." I could feel the anger and sadness in his voice as he said that. "Well you're not like that, Reese. You wouldn't be in here right now if you were like that." I told him. He grabbed my chin and tilted my head up so I'm staring into his eyes. This caused me to blush. He leaned in closer and kissed me passionately.
