《Playtime》Chapter Fourteen
Advertisement
I stepped out into the evening breeze. I had waited all day to come outside to relieve some stress. It felt like my head was going to explode. The thoughts....the desires....they were taking over me. I had to keep my head straight. I couldn't let silly little feelings take over and distract me from what was important. I rush out of the house, and off the porch right as I felt a stab of an uncontrollable urge to kill her. My demon was getting stronger. She was feeding him, encouraging him to the point where I knew following some stupid rules weren't going to work for me.
This is my playing card. I thought. Either break the rules and kill her, or go insane. I tense up as I hear Savanna's voice behind me. Jimin's voice rang in my ears as I gripped the metal fence. My knuckles were turning white from the hatred that was rising in my chest. I close my eyes and picture the scene. The scene that would return my former life.
She would be following me down to the underworld, completely oblivious of what was going to happen. She would just trust me. She had no idea that her soul would become part of the Devil's collection. She wouldn't understand that she'd watch her loved ones forget her. She'd watch her funeral, the sorrow that would feed Jimin and make him stronger. She wouldn't understand that her blood would go to Namjoon and Taehyung, and most of all, she wouldn't understand that her sensing demons and other mythical creatures would go to me.
She'd be dead.
"Yoongi!" Savanna's voice said beside me, startling me. I look to the side and is met by her gentle gaze.
"Yeah?" I say monotoned. Jimin flashes me a death glare that if looks could kill, I'd be dead...if I wasn't already. "I mean, is something wrong?" she looks at Jimin before looking at me.

"I might like someone...." she drifts off as her eyes scans my face before going to the ground. I clench the gate tighter. A deep, sour feeling filled my heart. I stare at Jimin who gave her a playful wink.
I could tear his head off if I wasn't under the rules of the game. I could see the surrounding area turn a scarlet red before a deep sensation came over me. Desire. Hunger. This time I don't fight it. I let it come on. Jimin sees, and backs up.
"I'll leave you two alone." he says before hurrying back inside. The fear...it was radiating off. I glance at Savanna who seemed to sense the fear as well.
"Screw it." I say before grabbing her. I pull her close, closer than I'd normally like, but if I was going to win this game, I had to play the way any other Demon would. I had to play with my feelings as well. I gently push her back into the trunk of the weeping willow that was gently swaying in the autumn breeze. I could feel Savanna's heart rate speed up at how close I had gotten.
I couldn't help but smirk. The scarlet red was getting darker as I got closer. I leaned in, where I was next to her ear. "What's wrong, princess?" I whispered seductively. "Scared?" My grip tightens as I move away a little.
"N-no." she says with her voice quivering. Truth be told, I kinda felt bad for playing with her emotions like this. I could tell that she truly believed every word I said. It made the game easier. It made it more pathetic as well. Smirking, I loosen my grip a little before leaning in.
I was close to her lips when she put her hand in front of my face. "What are you doing?" she asks, seeming shocked. I give her an amused expression. Keep it cool, Yoongi. The voice in my head said. Make her believe that you love her. I move her hand gently to her side.

"What does it look like?" I cooed. "I'm showing you that I love you." She stands there shocked. It was the perfect opportunity to kiss her. To make her believe that I truly did love her. I lean in.
She closes her eyes; we were inches apart. I could tell she remembered the first time. The first time I kissed her. That was the beginning of the game. And it was about to end. I move forward, ready to kiss her, when I froze.
The tempting feeling of killing her then and there was strong. The scarlet surrounding died down and returned to her normal color. I back up, feeling Savanna's heart beat decrease to the normal speed. I wasn't ready to play this card yet. The playing card would come at the end.
I smirk as I release her completely. This kiss would be bitter sweet. It would be full of hatred and bitterness, but also full of fake love and passion that told her...She was about to die.
-------------------------------
I proceeded further in the house. The stillness of it all brought a soothing comfort to my soul. I opened the door to my room. A heavy breath escaped my lips. I felt the power at my finger tips. I could use it now. I could manipulate Savanna into doing what I wanted.
"Yoongi!" a stern voice yelled waking me from my thoughts. I look to see my mirror glowing. The devil. I silently curse and stroll over, putting on my nutreul expression. No way was I going to tell him my plan was working perfectly. "How's the girl?" he asked. I stared at my reflection.
"She's harder to deal with than we expected." I lie. "But don't worry...we have her where we want her." there was silence before the boss spoke. His voice held annoyance, the kind I was having at that very moment.
"Will you send her on Halloween?" he asked. I glared at the floor. Dang the Devil. Dang him and all his evil doings. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be stuck doing this mess. I force a smile before facing the mirror.
"We will." I lie once more. "We learned from the best." I turn to the window.
"She's weakend you." The devil said through the mirror. "Her love is affecting you." I shake my head. It wasn't. I had no feelings for a fallen angel. It was a waste of time and energy.
"No." I say clenching my fists. "She hasn't."
"Then why do you look...flustered?" I smirk as I hold the ruby in my hand.
"Because, boss." I say before putting the jewel in front of the mirror. "It's all part of the game." I wrap the chain around my hand before tapping the jewel three times.
It glows a bright red before settling back to it's natural light pink shade. I head for the door.
"Don't worry, boss." I say opening the door. "She'll be all yours once Halloween comes around."
