Night had fallen upon Hell, and left one King pacing his dining room awaiting a certain angel.
"Where is she?" He asked Mark impatiently. Mark shrugged as he waited for Youngjae to come back. After twenty more minutes of pacing, Youngjae had come back; but not with the girl.
"Well?" Taehyung asked. Youngjae gulped before delivering the news.
"Well you see, under some circumstances, uh..." Youngjae rambled on before Mark gave him a quick jab to the ribs.
"She's not coming."
"WHAT?!" Taehyung roared. Nayeon, startled by the outburst, peeked her head out of the kitchen. She watched as their master stormed off, flying up with his black wings.
"Aish..." They all said, before running after their master. After two flights of stairs and a long walk down towards the East Wing, Taehyung had managed to calm himself. He knocked on the door politely and asked, "Aurora, my dear. Would you give me great pleasure in joining me for dinner?"
"No." She replied shortly. Taehyung growled.
"I've been nice to you the whole time you've been here, little girl and you don't want to see me angry. So come down for dinner or I'll drag you down there myself." He threatened. He heard her huff on the other side of the door.
"I'd like to see you try. You were the one who put a magic lock on this door to make sure no one else could open it except me." She challenged. His eyes turned blue with fury as his servants arrived. He banged on it violently.
"Open this door now!"
"Never!"
Mark grimaced watching Taehyung.
"Does he always have to resort to violence?" He asked Nayeon.
"Do you really want to get involved?" She asked back sassily. Mark and Youngjae shook their heads vigorously. Taehyung growled as he banged on it again.
"What about me is so bad you won't even leave your room for dinner?!" He yelled.
"Everything! You're a womanizer, you kill people for fun, you manipulate others for your own greed, and you cAN'T CONTROL YOUR TEMPER!" She yelled back, her voice raising on the few last words. He banged on the door again.
"OPEN THIS DOOR NOW, YOUNG LADY!"
"MAKE ME!"
The arguement between the two was so loud, it attracted other servants up as well, including Nayeon's younger sister Dahyun.
"What's going on up here?" Dahyun asked as she joined her sister. Nayeon shook her head as she held her temples.
"Something that is not going to end well." She said. Mark covered his eyes as he muttered curses under his breath.
"Jinyoung, tell Eomma and Appa I love them. I'm not escaping this alive." Youngjae said, squeaking as Taehyung beat the door more violently. Jinyoung, Youngjae's older brother grimaced as he rested his hands on his brother's shoulders.
"COME OUT THIS INSTANT!"
"NOT EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS!"
Mark hid his face into Jackson's shoulder, the groundskeeper of the castle. JB, the head of the castle's staff, looked at situation skeptically.
"Are you sure we shouldn't get involved?" He asked. Everyone who had arrived nodded. Taehyung then grabbed Nayeon's wrist and pulled her harshly to the door.
"Nayeon, you figure out how to talk to this incompetent girl! I'm going to go have dinner!" He yelled as he flew down to the dining hall. Nayeon waited a few moments until saying, "Mistress Aurora, please come down. The master isn't that bad once you get to know him."
"I don't want to get to know him! I don't want anything to do with him!" Aurora exclaimed. Nayeon turned back to Mark and Youngjae, who gestured for her to continue.
"Can I at least come in? You sound upset."
Aurora weakly opened the door, looking around warily to see if Taehyung was there. She let Nayeon in before slamming the door close. Aurora sat on the bed and looked down at her feet. Nayeon joined her side and faced her.
"Now tell me what's wrong."

"That impertinent, insolent, stubborn, little-"
Taehyung ranted as he broke a vase with a mallet, Mark watching quietly as Jinyoung held more for him to smash. Taehyung handed Mark the mallet as he paced, Jinyoung placing another one down.
"Who does that little brat think she is?!" He exclaimed as he grabbed the mallet again, preparing to smash another one. "A little to the left."
Jinyoung pushed it over a little with his foot before Taehyung smashed it.
"Ooh, I could just burn her precious little soul in Hell! I've given her a nice room! Treated her like she was a princess! And what do I get?!" He continued to yell, before mocking her in a high pitched voice.
" 'I hate everything about you and never want to see your face!' "
He smashed another vase, repeating this process over and over again until his anger was diffused. Mark rolled his eyes as he watched his master pace again, holding onto the large wooden mallet he was using to smash the vases.
"This is going to become routine." He muttered over to Jinyoung, who was struggling with his armful of vases.
"She can't stay in there forever! Ha, she'll be out here begging for my forgiveness soon enough!" Taehyung yelled, cackling at the end. Jinyoung placed another vase down before looking at Mark in worry.
"I don't think she made him mad. I think she's made him crazy!"
Taehyung smashed the vase before pacing some more.
"You know what?! I'm going to go to make sure she knows who's boss around here!"
He dropped the mallet before flying off to the East Wing. Mark and Jinyoung groaned.
"Not again."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It'll be alright mistress. Sooner or later, you two will be happily married and love each other forever." Nayeon said in a soothing voice as Aurora stubbornly hid her face in a pillow.
"Who has ever been happy marrying the Devil?!" She yelled, kicking like a child throwing a tantrum. Nayeon sighed as she stroked the younger girl's brown hair.
"Aurora!" Taehyung's voice called outside. Aurora got up and prepared for another fight.
"I told you I wasn't coming out!" She yelled, her arms crossed. Nayeon shook her head as she hid her face.
"Aish, not again." She muttered. Aurora heard him scoff on the other side.
"I know, I heard you, Princess." He said sarcastically. She huffed in response.
"Then why are you here?" She asked sharply. She immediately felt uneasy by the laugh he gave.
"I wanted to inform you about our wedding that's happening. Tomorrow." He said coyly. Aurora backed from the door in horror. She shook her head as Nayeon also looked up in shock.
"I-I thought you said you would only marry me if I told you I loved you." She stuttered as she sat back down on the bed. He laughed before saying, "Change of plans, sweetheart. Put on a white dress and prepare to walk down the aisle, cause you're becoming my wife tomorrow."
Aurora immediately fell onto the bed, bursting into tears. Nayeon shushed her calmly and stroked her hair to soothe her, but it was no use. She kept crying as she thought about becoming his wife.
