if you fall for me...

2nd chance

Styxx clung to me in bed. i had my back pressed to him. I was still mad at him, Just not that mad. my dad told me that he was under a powerful spell that even he couldn't brake. not that he could be cast under the spell, he just couldn't help anyone under it. it was a goodbye gift from one of his past wives. Styxx rolled over and sat up.

"Silence! I didn't do it! its not my fault! I was charmed, I couldn't fight against it!"

"typically, you wouldn't tell your girlfriend that another girl charmed you. even if you a demon. it may piss them off more." i rolled out of bed. "lucky for you I'm so understanding." i looked at him. he smiled.

"your to sweet." he got out of bed. my door opened. in walked, more like strode, in was my dad. he was very upset. he went right for Styxx. Styxx didn't move. he didn't even flinched as my dad picked him up by the neck. i felt the power of my dad roll off him. it crashed into me like waves.

"count yourself lucky that i don't kill you here and now!" he hissed. "do you know the stress you put her through? she had cut her self, nearly draining her entire body of blood! she could have died!" he was extremely pissed. "why she still wants you, i don't know, but for her health, i will let you live." he throw Styxx into the wall. Styxx went through the wall, and through the other wall before falling on the floor. "but next time i wont be so gentle."

i could only watch because the power rolling off this man was like gravity. it took everything i had to stand. shit, so that was nice? i would hate to see what mild looks like... no, i might like it... i want to do that. suddenly the pressure went away.

"you can when you harness your demon half." he smiled and jogged over to me. he picked me up in his arms and hugged me. "don't worry, i will teach you how to use them. after all. if your my daughter, you will be powerful regardless if your human or demon. my blood runs thick in you, i smell it." he carried me out of the room. "its time for breakfast. come on my worthless son-in-law." i wiggled around.

"not you, too!" i whined. "why are you all hell bent on my getting married!" i wiggled around. "is this a demon thing? is marriage like a way of life here? will i die if i don't get married?"

"its possible." Styxx said, stretching. "most demons are weak, like you, but have a lot of power locked away in your blood. any demon can come by and eat you and gain all that power that you haven harvested yet. so its safer to have a powerful demon bound to you, then one that is free to do as it pleases." i hugged my dad so i could look back at Styxx.

"then why didn't you eat me when you found out who i was?" i asked curious. Styxx looked away.

"because my mother would have killed me. my family don't allow people into the family so often. to eat you would up set them." he pushed his hands in his pockets. "i need to go change. i will see you at the collection dinner." he walked the opposite direction.

"wait... another dinner?" my dad nodded. "what the hell? I'm tired of this! i don't want to go for another dinner! what is this one about?" i tired to play off what i heard. in truth, i wanted Styxx to tell me he didn't eat me because he loved me. i felt weird for even hoping it. 

"well, to pick your powers. all of this, it will be yours, as it the customs of hell. the males of this world are to stupid to inherit the realms of hell." he smiled, I'm sure thinking of his sons. "the lords of hell are all here to pledge their loyalty to you, when ever you take my place." he put me down. "that way you can go finish your human life if you wish, or close any relations you may have."

we walked into the dinning area. everyone was there, already eating, and being cheerful. the called out to me, laughing. i joined them at the table with my father. we all spoke at once. they told me in detail of the events that took place the night before. apparently i made it very clear to everyone in attendance that i was not someone to play with.even my father said that he didn't want to anger me after seeing something like that.
