The Demon's Bride

Love me not

" Violet. Vioooolllet." Violet heard a voice calling her name repeatedly, but she couldn't open her eyes. Her head felt heavy as she struggled hard to open her eyes and see the person who was calling her name. When finally she managed to open them, her vision was blurry. After trying to regain focus, it started becoming clearer and clearer. Violet noted that she was in a dark room. That was all she could see until she heard her name again."Violet, finally you are up!" She could hear the familiar voice just as well as she could feel the weight on the left side of the bed. The major problem was that she didn't want to look at the person, so she decided to keep quiet and ignored him."I know you are awake Reffle." she heard him say as he softly caressed her hair. She wanted to yell at him, she wanted to ask was his true love really the one who he abused like that, but all she did was silently cry. A tear slipped down her cheek. Now it was her lesson. She was wrong about him. He is not always a good demon and he had a dark side too. Why the hell she was so so stupid to think like that?

She heard him sigh as he lifted his weight on his side of the bed." I'll send Brittany to get you some food and medications," he said before quietly leaving the room.

Walking down the hallways was now a big task for Zacharia. He stopped at one wall, sliding down it on his back with his head in his hands."Why the hell am so stupid? I should have controlled my anger. She is human, so it might be difficult for her to accept things so easily", he said to himself as a feeling of grief and sorrow took over him. Somehow, he managed to control his emotions with these types of things. He can't let his human side to take over him completely. Zacharia reminded himself that he should remember that he is the King of Demons. He stood up from the cold marble floor and made his way downstairs to the kitchen."Brittany, make breakfast for the Lady," he said while standing outside the kitchen.

He chose to sit in the hall for a while, making himself comfortable on one of the leather couches and gazing outside the big french window. The weather outside was windy and it seemed like it would've rain soon."Maybe I should let her go outside sometimes," he thought as he looked outside. Thinking of this reminded him that it would be her birthday in two days. A smile made its way on his lips as he said to himself "I will let her visit her favorite place for some time." "My lord, my lady refused to eat anything," Brittany said as she held the tray of food in her hands. Zacharia looked at her and stood up, taking the tray from her hands and dismissing her before going upstairs to his room.

" Violet, please eat something," Zacharia insisted as he looked at Violet. Her eyes were open and she was staring at the ceiling continuously. It seemed like nothing affected her."Violet, please," he said again but got no reply. After that, the sound of shattering glass was heard as Violet jumped out of fear to see what happened. She saw Zacharia's hand bleeding badly as he continues to bang his hand on the giant mirror. She got up into a sitting position."Zacharia! Please stop!" She screamed while getting up from the bed. She tried walking towards him, but she was too weak to do so, landing on the floor as a result. As soon as she did, Zacharia noticed it and hurried towards her."Are you alright," he asked her while holding her with his other hand." I should be asking that question. And also, why are you punching the mirror?" She continued interrogating him while examining his bleeding hand as she took deep breaths."Because.............because I slapped you with this very hand," he said with some sort of sadness in his voice. Violet just looked at him for a moment emotions in both of their eyes as they met for a split second before Violet looked away.

" Y-you d-don't have to do t-this....." she stuttered while breaking the awkward silence."I can't forgive myself," he declared. Again, there was dead silence."C'mon, get up," he said while helping her with his one hand and made her sit on the bed again."I'll send Brittany to fetch you some hot and fresh food," he said in a monotone voice. He was about to exit when he heard her small voice."Uhhh.......umm.........."Is there anything you need," he asked while turning towards her. Violet just looked at him bug-eyed. She wondered how he heard that she was barely audible. Violet finally gained the courage to ask him about his wound not recovering " Uhhh...umm.....uhhh............why it's taking so long your wound to recover?" Zacharia didn't utter a word and fell deep into his thoughts."You don't have to tell if you don't want to," Violet said, making it low to where it would not be audible to the human ear. "No, it is your right to know," Zacharia replied while continuing further."It is because am getting weak," he said and got a confused expression from her."Once a demon is killed his power becomes half of it and he becomes a hybrid," he explained."What do you mean by hybrid," Violet asked out of curiosity, immediately regretting it."A hybrid means half human and half creature. This is my second birth or rising in your language, so half of my powers are gone with my other birth. If the cycle continues, a time might come that I'll completely lose all of my powers," he finished. He looked at her to see if she understood, which only resulted in a few moments of silence between them."If I was that bad of a wife, then why did you loved me so much?" Violet finally asked breaking the silence. Zacharia looked at her for a moment before saying, "You know what Reffle? Love is not about personality but is about feelings. Before I met you, I was a merciless Demon, but you changed everything. You changed me and that is how things ended up. And you know this better than me," he finished."How?" Violet asked in her mind and the question was immediately answered by him as he said: "Because you love Reffle......"
