You Belong To Me.

Lessons.

Anna's P.O.V...

The next morning I woke up and stripped from a nightgown and took a shower. I then finished everything I normally do in the shower and changed into another pair of clothes. I brushed my hair and did my normal morning routine. Which was brushing my teeth, cleaning under my nails, lotion, and  exercising. I always stretch in there morning because of Mark. He never wanted me to lose in the challenge and have the chance of being chosen. Now it's become an everyday thing, but this time I was doing it in Dark's castle in his training room. I had the white and black plaid shirt off with my hair tied into a bun. I had found a stereo set up in here so I turned it on as a few oldies came on. I enjoyed old classics like ACDC, Simon Curtis, Skillet, NEFFEX, Meatloaf, Adam Lambert, Hollywood Undead, Bob Segar, Backstreet Boys, Avril Lavigne, and so on and so forth. Right now Skillit was playing,

( Play song above!)

I sang the song to myself as I began my splits and sit ups. When the song began to end I turned around to see Dark watching in the door way. I sigh and turn off the stereo quickly. I look back at Dark as he raised an eyebrow.

" There was no need for me to stop you, but may I ask why and what are you doing Anna?" He asks with a tilt of the head. I slip on my plaid shirt and walk over to him.

" Just my usual stretch in the morning. Mark and I made it a habit each morning." I explain making him nod in understanding.

" Well there is breakfast now so would you like to come and join me?" He asks.

" Of course, then I'll be at the Library." I tell him as I walk past him to the dinning room with him close behind. We ate in a peaceful silence until we finished. I was about to stand up when Dark stopped me by speaking.

" Before you go I would like to tell you Tom will be here in five days. When he does arrive, he will stay an hour to spend time with you. I want you to lie to your brother  and tell him nothing about our deal or my plans. Also I would like to teach you a few things later  today. That way you'll know what to do at tomorrows party or should I say masquerade ball." He explains making me sigh.

" Okay then, how about five hours from now? Is that okay?" I ask making him nod yes. I nod back and leave to the library.

Dark's P.O.V...

As Anna went to the library, I cleaned up our breakfast and went to my room. I pull my phone out of my top desk drawer and dial up Anti's number. After he answered I began to to tell him my plans for the portal and Anna. He liked them so far and was going to support me for my plans even help me if I needed him. We discussed the details about the party tomorrow. My plan was so far working and Anna was going to help me open the portal since it did need a human sacrifice, but was not sure if it would be her or not. I have still been trying to work that out. After doing a few things five hours passed and I decided to go fetch Anna for our lessons.

Anna's P.O.V...

I just got done reading another book when Dark knocked and came into the room.

Let's go, I don't feel like walking to the ball room so I'll teleport us there." He informs me as he held his hand out to me with his arm extended. I put the book away and walk over to him. I grab his hand gently when he pulled me close to his chest and smirked. " Stay close I don't want you to end up missing a body part." He says still smirking. I nod and held him more close to me. With one arm around my waist and the other still holding my hand we teleported. When everything was not blurry, I could finally see the room. I was standing by myself and when I turned around to expect Dark standing there. I was at a huge loss when I saw my brother Mark instead. I guess my impression said it all since he smirked at me.

( Pic Above!)

He smirked and I automatically knew it was Dark.

" I thought it would be easier for you to learn if I looked and sounded like your brother Mark. Also these clothes are way much easier to teach in." He explains making me laugh. He looks at me confused but I continue to laugh at him.

" Oh, my Lord! I haven't seen him like that in awhile! He has longer hair now!" I laughed causing him to chuckle.

" Well this was his appearance when I last saw him so don't judge. Plus I think he looks way better like this than that Lions mane he has now." He jokes causing my to laugh more and smile.

" True, so true." I sigh and when I look up I see him staring at me weirdly since he still looked like my brother. Which made everything awkward now. " You know Dark, I would rather prefer yourself. I've actually enjoyed being away from my brother for once. Yes I miss him, but he is over protective over me." I explain making him scrunch his eyebrows.

" Really? Why do you say that?" He asks changing back to himself. I began to take off my plaid shirt revealing my black spaghetti tank top. I throw it to the side and sigh.

" He's one of the reasons why I'm, I guess an outcast of some sort. Every time we are out, he gets all these fans and I get pushed away like trash. I also have trouble making friends with girls so when I did make friends with someone. It was usually a guy or some old person. Don't get me wrong, I love him. But I get used a lot by most the girls I know." I explain.

" How do they use you?" He asks taking off his blazer.

" Well they only hang out with me to spend time with Mark and spy on him. The guys I tended to get more fond of. I mean yes some of them are pervs but I enjoy video games, challenges and sports with them. Mark pushes them away and scares them off in a way I guess. It's one of the reasons why I don't date and hang with them anymore." I finish explaining when I felt someone wrap their arms around my shoulders from behind. I knew it was Dark, but I then felt him lay his head making me relax a little.

" Hey we're friends aren't we? Mark isn't here to stop us from that right? We are here together." He whispers into my ear making my heart beat speed up a little. I was a little confused, but didn't push it further.

" Y... Yes, of course Dark." I confirm as I smile to my self. He squeezes me gently and pulls away. " I can't let him trick me. He's just trying to get close so he can get what he wants. But why is there a part of me that knows something is off about him. Not in a bad way, but in a way that actually means well. What if he's actually different than he used to be. I know he is a demon and all, but what if he needs me? Are you listening to yourself right now!? He's killed so many things in the blink of an eye! He's only using you... Maybe, but what if he's changed?" My inner battle between my heart and mind stops when Dark calls my name.

" Hey are you alright Anna?" I look at him and nod slowly. I focus my attention back on the objective again.

" Yeah, just thinking is all. So what do I have to do?" I ask changing the subject. He smirks and we began the lessons.

*****

We we're taking a few drinks from our water bottles after doing a few lessons. So far I was taught adequate manners for eating sitting and listening.  I also learned a few dances and Dark even changed my clothes into a dress. Not physically, but by his magic. Then he began to teach me a few things about fighting in defence or for emergencies. I already knew a lot but these ones would actually work on a demon. He was very patient with me and kept encouraging me. I was beginning to actually become friends with him surprisingly.
