The next evening when the sun set, The smell of rain and mist filled the air as I sat cross-legged on the entrance of my cave, watching the overwhelming amount of mist pass by. I have to admit it looked very magical. It was like looking into another world of drizzling rain, not two inches from my face, where the cave's overhang sheltered me in my world of reality. The moon glowed into the mist, beautifully.
I stared into the mist, trying to find some recognizable shapes, when suddenly I heard a splash of rain and a saw flash of silver. I smiled. He was here.
Sure enough a few moments later, a blonde boy with a tiara, striped shirt, and overcoat, the usual outfit, jumped in through the entrance, laughing.
Landing on his feet, his white boots glowing, he said, in his princely voice, "Ushishishi~ Regina, it sure is scary out there."
I didn't think my smile could get any bigger.
"Yeah, I can't believe you actually still came, Bel. Even at this time, in this weather." No really. I was astonished.
"Well I promised I would come see my princess, didn't I? Ushishi~" And he plopped down right next to me, throwing his jacket aside. I blushed at what he called me.
I heard a suspiciously large amount of clanging as the overcoat hit the wall, and flinched.
"Ushishishi~ Princess, don't be scared. Remember you said you wanted me to teach you how to throw knives too?"
"Yeah." I said. Then I looked back at out into the rain and sighed. A few moments later I said softly, "It looks really mysterious out there... like the mist is concealing a terrible secret..."
In the corner of my eye I saw Bel grin his large, smile, but I just stared into the rain, listening to the silent patter of the rain. I could feel Bel's stare on me too, studying me, and for a little while we just stayed like that; him watching me and me looking into the other world that he lived in.
After a while, Bel broke the silence.
"Does my princess want to know what I got for her?"
I looked at him, startled, and said, "You got me something?"
"Yeah!" He replied, smiling, "Look..."
He reached out and dragged his trench coat over, rummaging in its pockets. After a few "no's..that's not it's...and ouch's" he exclaimed, "oh here it is!"
And he pulled out a container with a little, slightly smashed, disgruntled looking cupcake. It looked delicious.
He saw my eyes widen and immediately help it up triumphantly in front of my face. "Here."
"Wow...T-thanks...Thanks Bel." I said, shakily taking the container and staring at the cupcake. I didn't think I'd ever seen anything as magnificent or fancy as that cupcake, even if it was a little squished. After all, when you've lived off the wild for so long, it looked like a fantasy.
I looked up at Bel, wondering why he was so nice to me. He was by far the kindest person I've ever met in my short 7 years of life, but it just felt...strange. I had only known him for two days. Was he this nice to all other people? Or was it just me? I guess I looked a little confused, because Bel's grin started to fade as he too assumed a confused expression.
And on impulse and slight desperation, I leaped forward and gave him a hug. I released him a few moments later, curious to see his expression. I was slightly surprised to see his shocked expression. "Ushishishi y-you like the cupcake Regina?" I blushed, but he just continued on, "It's red velvet with cream cheese frosting! Here try it!" He said, sounding almost rushed. I think that hug really surprised him. Placing his hand on the lid of the container, he flipped it open. I just stared at the cupcake. It's aroma was making me sleepy..
Cautiously I took it out of the container, examining it in the light. A little unsure, I looked at Bel, but he was just smiling crazily, so I brought it to my mouth and took a bite.
WOAH.
Needless to say, the entire cupcake was gone in about seven seconds.
"That...was...delicious..." I said, smiling.
"Ushishi~ great!" Bel said, grabbing me with his right arm and hugging me.
A few hours later, Bel left to go back to his castle. It was already midnight , and I had nothing left to do, so I decided to go to bed. I drifted into the back of the cave and laid down on a fluffy, blue blanket, wrapping myself in its folds like a burrito. The day before, Bel had brought me that new blanket to replace my old, raggedy one. I smiled. Belphegor was Always doing nice things for me.
In fact, me and Bel had talked on and on for about four hours that night, and I had begun to feel that we had become best friends; he knew lots of things about me and I knew lots of things about him. For example, he told me of his horrid family, consisting of his parents and twin brother, who hated him. His parents always looked for ways to punish him, and always blamed everything on him. This, he explained, was why he learned how to throw knives. It took his mind off of things and released his anger and hatred towards his parents. He even went a little too far in detail, telling me how he liked to stab things and hear screams of people so that he could imagine them as his parent's suffering. Sometimes that boy worries me, just saying.
His twin brother apparently was also a hindrance to Bel, always finding ways to annoy him. For instance, Bel always hated how no one could tell them apart, so he intentionally grew his hair long to cover his eyes so that he would be different. However, to annoy him, Rasiel, his brother, did the same; so again they were identical. But Bel had gotten too accustomed to his new hairstyle to change it just because of his brother. Actually, he didn't need to tell me that because I already knew how much he loved his blonde locks.
Also, Bel lived in a huge castle. He was a rich boy, he was. He could have just about everything he wanted right when he wanted them. But, he told me, he had a lot of things bothering him. He apparently...in short...used to be a loner; apart from the other royal kids, who he could never get along with. They all thought he was different and weird. But he tried not to let them bother him, because, and I quote, someday he's going to be a "mass murderer and kill them all". He told me they all always avoided him until one day another kid's cat started attacking him and he stabbed it in the eye. Then, he said, they really tried to avoid him, but not out of pity, but fear. They were all scared of him now (Ushishi).He also told me, while I was furiously blushing, that I was his first friend. I guess that's why he's so nice to me. With those thoughts, i fell asleep peacefully.
