Lucifer's Queen

Chapter 17

*Erica's pov*

I couldn't take my eyes off from him. No matter how much my brain screamed me to look away, my heart won't obliged. Even after seeing the cocky smirk on his probably knowing that I am starring at him like a creep, I couldn't look away. My desire to capture very little emotions that appears on once in a while on that stony face, overpowered the embracement I felt after being caught. He was sitting there on that throne, one leg lazily draped over an other while his elbows rested the armrest trying to cover the space of that throne with his powerful figure and dark aura. The rest of us scattered around aimlessly below his throne, yet staying somewhat close to each others except Tae who stood next to Jungkook, looking like his personal bodyguard. 

"Why are we here my King?" Namjoon questioned politely knowing any sort of friendship ties are cut off inside this room. 

"Wait!" That's all he received as an answer from the grumpy man as the room went dead silence other that the constant purr from the cat who nestled against Yoongi's chest soaking with his affection. 

"If that cat made one more sound, I am feeding it to Cerberus!" Jungkook hissed glaring at the innocent little fluff ball making everyone flinched. Yoongi went even more pale hearing that threat and instant he snapped his fingers causing a blue smoke to erupt between those fingers before vanishing into thin air. The cat on his hold went limp and silent that even the rising of its' body as it breaths stopped. 

"Did he kill it?" I whispered into Mang's ear, horrified and scared at what I saw. 

"Just sleeping!" She mumbled making me release a sigh of relief. I don't think that Yoongi is cold enough to kill his pet that he adore, but hey fear makes you do foolish things. And wait! Cerberus?  Cerberus as in- 

My attention was divert away from my thought when the throne room double doors opened as a figure walked in among them giving out the sound of heels clicking against the tiled floor. I could see it was a girl dressed in a long floor length black gown from here. As she neared her features started to get clear for me. She looks oddly familiar, yet I can't pinpoint. She came to a halt right in front of Jungkook below the steps of throne and bowed with a smile which looked anything but friendly. It was more like a wicked grin that was laced with dark intentions. 

"Aadya!" Jungkook acknowledged, keeping his voice blank and neutral just like his expressions. The girls wicked grin turned into a full blown glee as she smiled from ear to ear at the man above her though he remained unaffected. That's when it clicked on in my mind. She is the one! That girl. The girl who trade her soul to become a demon and refused to return back to her home. It's her!

But she looks nothing like in that picture. She has changed a lot. Loosing so much weight and her skin complexion is so pale, like a dead person. Those eyes which looked soulful on that pick now lost its' shine, remaining with nothing but darkness. Her once healthy brown hair was dull and tied back exposing her long slender neck which showed off the faint marks of black veins. She wasn't ugly, if anything, she looks more beautiful than when she was a human. But it wasn't bright. Her beauty was dark like how they wanted to make ice queen look beautiful in a evil way on those movies. Is it rude if I said she somewhat looks like the mistress of Dracula?   

"What am I hearing about all this chaos on the land of sinners?" Jungkook questioned without even bothering to acknowledge the genuine smile on her face causing it to fall as soon as those words left his mouth. 

"The newly turned demons are causing trouble my lord!" She announced, her voice sounding nothing but void of any emotions. I turned to Jungkook to see his eyes are being narrowed totally not pleased with her answer or what was informed to him through that answer.
