Her Demon Eyes

Thanks For The Poison

Chapter Ten

*Ariana PoV*
I woke up the next morning with a headache that could only be compared to the sensation of having a train crush your skull. Repeatedly. And to top it off, my entire body ached like a bitch.

I rolled out of bed, quite literally, and attempted to walk to the bathroom to soak in hot water. I made it about five steps before my knees gave way and I was falling to the floor. I noticed after a second that I wasn't on the floor and that someone's hands see under my arms.

"Jesus, are you okay?" I heard Andrews voice behind me and I twisted to look behind me. He hoisted me up and dragged me to my bed, sitting me down.

"What are you doing here?" I croaked, my voice sounded hoarse and rough, so much so that it actually hurt to talk.

"After you passed out and Lucifer left, Erica put you to bed and rushed over to my house. I came to stop by this morning to check on you and here we are. Glad I got here in time. Jesus." He raked his hand through his hair and sat beside me. I was still feeling dizzy and me entire body still ached, but it was nice to have company.

"So," he asked, turning to look at me, "what happened?" I pursed my lips and frowned, trying to remember what really happened.

"Well, we were just eating dinner and he asked everyone to leave. Then he gave me this, this- I don't know. It looked like chocolate but it was black and gold. It tasted weird too, and it made me feel really strong- too strong. And then I passed out." I told him. He looked at me sternly and I could tell he was angry, but not at me, at Lucifer.

"That's Rose Nectar. It's from the Land of Light. Do you know what that is?" He looked at me and I shook me head. He nodded and looked at the ground,

"Nearly everyone goes to hell, be is Eba, Utopia, Demetria, The Capitol. Wherever. But there a few, a few amazing people who get to the Land of Light. It was created by the Angel Maria. She's Hell's sister. The Land of Light is basically paradise, it's the stereotypical the-clouds-are-made-of-cotton-candy type of place. The people there never age, never die. They just set up and start again, live life all over. The angels use their powers to keep the place together and keep people alive, to feed their powers they eat Rose Nectar. I'm pretty sure Lucifer got Rose Nectar and somehow joined it with the Black Rose Army's power. Jesus, that man is a psycho." He sighed and stood up, stretched his arms above his head and walked towards the door.

"I'll tell Erica you're awake, then I have to go. Man, I swear, never become close with Seth. He's clingy as fuck." I laughed even though it hurt and lay down.

"To feed their powers they eat Rose Nectar," is what Andrew had said. So, does that mean..? I lifted my hand in the air and forced all my energy into my palm. I let the energy loose, not expecting much to happen but suddenly, my hand felt very cold. I pushed the energy further and sharp blast of ice shot out from my palm, freezing a section of the ceiling. I shot off the bed, ignoring the dizziness that blurred my vision and tried something else. This time, I focused the energy throughout my body. I felt it under my skin, pushing to get out, so I let it. I felt white hot energy shoot out of my body and I was blinded for a second.

Though I couldn't see, I could feel cold metal wrap itself around my body. I heard the metal clink against itself and a moment later, I was wearing battle armour.

"What?" I questioned, "this is insane..." I moved my arm and felt the metal move with it. It was black and felt light on my skin. It looked and felt like a one-piece outfit. It covered my chest, legs, arms and back and moved like liquid.

"Lady Ariana?" I heard Erica's voice from outside the door as she opened it. "Miss, where did you get that?" She looked confused but I just grinned.
