Her Demon Eyes

Here Come The Demon Eyes

Chapter Five

*Ariana PoV*

"Hello, my daughter." His voice crawled up my spine making me shiver. I couldn't see him, but I could feel his presence.

"Did you enjoy the dance?" His voice came from behind me this time. I spun around, but I still couldn't see him.

"My name is Lucifer. I am a Prince of Hell. So why am I on Demon Land? Well, dearest Ariana, that doesn't matter for know. I am the second oldest son of Hell, my brothers have all successfully had an heir for their realm of hell. Admittedly, I was aware your mother was only a lesser demon but that doesn't matter, she's dead now. I will feed you my power. I need you to accept me, I need you to say yes. Become a demon, become a queen. You can do it, Ariana. Do it. Become Ariana, Daughter of Lucifer. Your mother abandoned you, but don't presume that I did the same. I'm here, trying to save you. So join me! Join me and your uncles and cousins. Please-"

"No!" I shouted back. "No." I closed my eyes, trying to ignore his presence. I fought back any thought of him and thought about where I really was. In Noe's bed, in his apartment.

"That's okay. The poison has already started working anyway. Soon, you'll have eyes like mine." He started laughing and I began to feel dizzy. I fell, not knowing where I was falling too.

I woke up feeling dizzy and I sick. My body felt hot and I could feel the vomit threatening to rise in my throat. "Noe," I whined pathetically. He didn't stir in his sleep, "Noe, wake up. Please." I called, a little less pathetically. I attempted to call him again but failed as the jets of blood poured out of my mouth onto my arm and the bed sheets. I began coughing which soon turned to barking and I saw Noe's half asleep self rise up, propping himself up on one elbow. His eyes were hooded with tiredness but jumped to action when he saw me slumped over, covered in my own blood.

"Jesus, Ariana, come on. Time for another bath." He paused and and hiked his knee up to help support my back while he opened the door and carried me out through it

For the millionth time since I had met him, Noe was, once again, carrying me in his arms to the bathroom. He ran me a bath, kissed my head and left. Part of me wanted him to tell me that I was okay, that it was probably food poisoning. Because now I knew I couldn't escape it anymore. I was an heir of hell. Wow, thanks Mom.

I finished in the bath quickly and wrapped my body in a towel before opting for some simple maroon material shorts and a black tank top. I went out into the living room where. Noe was sitting by the piano, a bowl of cereal on the closed lid.

"Hey," he said so gently, it was almost a whisper. "How are you?" He asked, I just nodded and walked towards the kitchen, trying to fight the tears that threatened to fall. I poured out the smallest bowl of cereal known to man, demon and fairy before sitting on the couch.

"How do you feel? You should probably sleep off whatever this is." He sat beside me on the couch playing with a piece of my hair that hung over my face, turning it from yellow to blue, then green and back to lilac again.

"I know what this is and believe me, I can't sleep it off." Noe stiffened, his face contorted in fear. He grabbed my shoulder and tilted my face towards him,

"Ariana, please tell me this is nothing serious. What do you know? And who told you it?" He stroked my cheekbone with his thumb, his chocolate brown eyes full of concern. And that's when I broke. There was no blood or screaming or whining. This time, it was just crying. Raw, broken and painful. I let loose about the things that I had dreamt about, gripping Noe's thin, grey t-shirt while I sobbed. No matter how hard I tried to not believe it, deep down, I could see it, hear it, feel it, something horribly demon beginning to surface.

I told Noe everything I had heard. I told him about the brothers of Hell, how I was an heir, how I had been dreaming of him these last few nights. He just sat there and ran his hands threw his hair, occasionally alternating between burying his head in his hands and resting his head in the back of the sofa. When I had finished, he just remained silent. It was terrifying.

"Shit," he began quietly, "No, just no." He stood up and began pacing the room. "Damn it!" He screamed, throwing the fruit bowl onto the ground, smashing it. An apple hit that wall with a quiet 'thump', my eyes followed it to the ground until I looked back up at Noe, once again, his head was in his hands, accept this time, he looked like he was crying. I stood up causing my body to waver, but I caught myself before I could fall and walked over to Noe. I wrapped my arms around his taller body and locked my hands around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist burying his head in my shoulder, letting out gentle sobs.

*Noe PoV*

I held her close to me as I cried, after I had tried so hard to protect her from everyone, Lucifer, Ox, any other demon. I tried so hard but for nothing. Now Lucifer was going to take her down to Hell and turn her into a soul sucking demon. I hated the thought of it. I gripped her closer to my chest.

If he was going to take her, I was going to fight.

I was so going to get fired, but it didn't matter.

I felt her body fall limp in my arms, breaking me from my thoughts. I loosened my grip on her and she nearly fell to the ground but I managed to catch her and lift her into the couch. I sat on the ground beside her head, stroking her face gently, waiting for something bad to happen.

Because man, something really bad was about to happen.

Then it happened, her eyes shot open, glowing in pure blackness. She spoke, but the only words I could make out were power and demon, which, if you ask me, does not sound good. I kneeled up beside her, holding her close to my chest before she started coughing and gagging, she slouched over the edge of the sofa, threatening to cough up more blood. But for the first time in forever, nothing surfaced. She fell back onto the couch and slept for the longest time.

"Jesus Christ, was I just hit by a train?" She croaked when she eventually woke up. I tried to laugh but it absolutely killed me. She didn't know she was demon.

"Ariana, look it the mirror." She looked at me weirdly, but obeyed when she saw my expression. She walked timidly over to the mirror, my heart nearly rocketed out if my ribcage when I heard her scream. She looked back between the mirror and I, just looking more hurt each time.

"Noe, tell me it's not true. Please. Just don't let it be true." I walked over to her and gripped her tight in my arms, stroking her back.

"It's true. I'm sorry but it is." She didn't cry or scream or shout. She just gripped my shoulder. I could feel the power surge through her veins, filling her with hate and anger.

"But Ariana," I whispered, she nodded into my chest, telling me to continue, "I swear, I will fix this. I can ask people for favours at work. I will do anything. Absolutely anything," I pulled out of the hug, and leaned down to kiss her.

Everything disappeared in the universe accept Ariana, her lips moved against mine, slowly and passionately causing me to moan slightly. I brought my tongue forward, licking her lips slowly, separating them. I brought my tongue into her mouth and started to explore anywhere and everywhere I could. I moaned into the kiss, causing her to grip me tighter, her petite body rolled against mine as I kissed her.

Eventually we broke apart for air, I rested my forehead against hers and kissed it gently, "we'll figure something out Ari, I won't let him take you from me."

"Oh, I think you will." A deep voice came from behind me, I spun around, pushing Ariana behind me.

Lucifer.

Crap.

End of that chapter! Now before anyone goes and says that they are moving too fast, this book will only have 15 chapters and Noe will be disappearing for now. I intend on making this a series of four books. One for each Prince of Hell but I have to see how this one goes first.

Okay! Please vote, comment and add this to your library to know when I update!
