The Devil’s belonging, book two.
soooo. this is the start of things, comment below and tell me whatcha think :P also if anyone wants to make me a cover, i would be very grateful.
It was dark. Always dark, I couldn’t see my hand in front of me. I didn’t know how to get out of here nor how I had gotten in here. Eternal darkness and it was slowly driving me insane. I have no memory of who I am or what I am. Often I felt a slight humming from my mind, it wanted me to do something, but I couldn’t remember what it was. So I walked around, nothing else to do. I held conversations with myself before it got to tiring. I couldn’t talk about the weather, fashion or school. I knew nothing. I only had small glimpses of a family gathered around a table eating dinner or of friends who laughed, or a boy who had kissed me. Boyfriend maybe? I couldn’t remember, and these small glimpses only made it much worse. My memory is like a broken film, jagged and destroyed except for small fragments.
I couldn’t scream anymore since my throat had stopped working. Broken that too, I was broken. Ruined, trash, something people threw away like a child’s toy and the only one who knew where it had gone was the crying child… except in my case because there was no one who missed or mourned me, otherwise they would have tried to contact me. Wouldn’t they? Had I done something cruel in my life so that my mind just destroyed itself so I wouldn’t have to live with the guilt?
Another step forward and a thousand back, hell, I didn’t even know if I was walking in circles or in a straight line. And when I wanted to have another emotional break-down I heard something. Of course it might have been my mind playing tricks on me. I was just about to shut out the voice in my mind when I heard it again. It didn’t sound like the usual voice in my head, no, this voice sounded to musical and deep for it to be my voice.
It couldn’t understand the words it was saying, I only listened to the voice. After some time, I am not sure for how long because I have lost all concept of time; I’m not even sure if time passes where I am. Maybe time is frozen here?
‘’ h…. hel… hello?’’ my voice was jagged and dry. It sounded more like a croak than a voice, but I got the word out. ‘’ i… is ther… there anybody…. Her… here?’’
Wake up Ciale! The voice sounded oddly familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had heard it before.
I wet my lips before I tried speaking again, ‘’ hello?’’
Ciale, open your eyes! Open your eyes and look into mine; I need to know if you’re still there. I felt something soft prodding at my mind, urging me to open my eyes. But I didn’t understand, I had my eyes open already. Didn’t I? Everything was black so I couldn’t really be sure.
As I waited to hear the voice again it started fading, I cried out for it but it slipped away. As so I continued my endless existing, having no measure of time anymore I wondered around aimlessly. And then I heard it again or rather I felt it. My legs started to vibrate from the shaking the ground I stood on. I looked around in reflex but I saw nothing but the dark. The vibrating ground spread to my legs and shortly I was shaking from the ground. A bit puzzled I tried to listen for anything other than the loud growling the ground was doing. A painful sensation started in my toes but soon it spread out over my body until my whole body was aching. The pain only increased until I screamed as loudly as I could and then I felt something embrace my body.
‘’ Aperire oculos. ‘’ a deep musical voice commanded and my eyes snapped open. A sharp light blinded me for a couple of moments until my eyes adjusted. I didn’t dare move my head or move my eyes in fear of being swallowed by the dark again. A head moved into my sight of vision with a smile on his lips. Warm arms holding my body and then a sound escaped his lips. The heat radiating from him was heavenly after being in the dark and the cold for so long. I dared to look down and saw my own body for the first time, at least for as long as I remember.
‘’ Ciale! Finally you’re back again, took you bloody long enough time to realize my summoning’’ the strange man said, but I paid no heed to it I only looked into his eyes. They were a peculiar colour of dark violet.
‘’ who are you?’’ I asked after a while. A name to put on this bare-chested man would’ve been nice. The man looked slightly surprised before he laughed and he smiled smugly.
‘’ I’m your lover and master, Darling. Tell me what you remember of everything, does the name Sam trigger something?’’ he asked before he laid me down on a bed. I noticed that I was naked and I felt a blush creeping up on me. I hadn’t even seen myself naked before and now this man was seeing me in my birthday suit. I tried to subtly pull the covers over me, but the man noticed because he started laughing.
‘’ I guess losing yourself didn’t change your unnecessarily shyness, but never mind that, tell me now what you remember, tell me everything you know!’’
Feeling slightly uncomfortable I tried asking him again what his name was. The man simply chuckled before smiling smugly down at me again.
‘’ my name is Lucavarious, also known as the devil or Lucifer or any other name you can think of actually. Hades for example, but no, the name I currently go by now is Lucavarious.’’
He sat down on the bed besides me. ‘’ Lucavarious,’’ I tasted the name on my tongue and I liked the sound of it, I smiled and continued. ‘’ who am I? I only remember glimpse of a family dinner where everybody was laughing only I wasn’t there. And then I remember some boys running after me, but nothing more. It’s only short glimpses I got from time to time in the dark, nothing that I could understand.’’
Lucavarious pulled my sheet tighter around me and kissed my forehead and exhaled loudly before he muttered something didn’t catch.
‘’ Lucavarious, I have no memories of you or anything else so I would prefer if you could keep your distance, I’m not comfortable around you.’’ Lucavarious didn’t listen to me and I immediately reacted. As he was about to kiss my forehead I shot up from the bed and landed on my feet. I stumbled slightly as I carried my weight; Lucavarious looked at me before he laughed.
‘’ that’s probably because we weren’t lovers, but have no worries we will and soon.’’
A tingling sensation started under my skin and I looked down to find the source, somehow I knew I wouldn’t be able to see it. Fear coursed through me ‘’ then what are we? I presume we knew each other since you kind of feel familiar?’’ I let the question hang in the silence.
‘’ oh we’re certainly familiar,’’ he snickered loudly with a smug smile. ‘’ but the key points and what you mostly need to know is that, you are mine. No question asked, you’re mine and I am your master or boss. You carry out missions for me… like my little assassin.’’
I looked down at the bed suddenly extremely tired. Lucavarious sighed and told me to go to bed. I complied and climbed into the huge bed with silken sheets. I sighed as Lucavarious started walking out of the room turning the light off as he went.
‘’ wait…’’ I whimpered as the lights went out. ‘’ can you keep the lights on?’’ I asked meekly. Lucavarious laughed.
‘’ seriously?’’
‘’ yes, I don’t like the dark anything wrong with that?’’
‘’well since we basically live in the dark then yes, there is something peculiar about that. But sure, if you want the lights on then don’t let me stop you.’’ Lucavarious turned the lights on and walked away. His footsteps echoing in the hallway. I wanted to yell after him that I wasn’t afraid of the dark, but that I preferred the light. It would’ve been a white lie and I prefer to be honest with myself at least.
The little light of the bedside lamp cast a warm glow around the room and as I laid there staring at the light I remembered something. Just a little glimpse of a memory; it was of a weird floating light around in a dorm room. I remember trying to touch the light, but it floated around my fingers. I snapped back to the present. I shook my head to clear it and tried to fall asleep in this big bed.
