《The Demon King》23
Advertisement
I stare at myself through the mirror. Evangeline and everyone running around in the background. Us serves, the girls, wore a childlike dress. It was white and dropped to just above our knees. Each a little different from the others. I wore small sandal like heels instead of the classic heels that the others did.
The bangs of my hair tucked behind my hair, secretly secured by some bobby pins.
It reminded me of something I'd wear. But I found it funny. Funny that a room full of demons wanted to pretend that they were angels. Possibly, like they devil, they once were angels. But they wanted more. They wanted death. They wanted evil.
We were all set free at the same times. I was ushered to the piano were I was snapped into right away. My fingers knew exactly what to play. I've been practicing and practice until I got into the rhythm I used to have.
I lifted my eyes as I heard giggles, I grinned as I saw Ida and Flo dancing together. They both looked like the princesses I knew they were. Ida had let Flo borrow a dress, she looked like how she was meant to. Bright and radiant, healthy and full.
After tonight we'd leave. I'd send a letter to my brother and have them find us after we had laid low for a few moments.
I went back to playing. Getting lost in the music instead of my thoughts. I couldn't hear all the people behind me. It was hours and hours until I was stopped, Evangeline grabbing my hands and pulling me up. I blink at her, confused. She turned me around and I understood. The King walking down, his mistresses behind him.
I felt myself go lightheaded as I watched Natalia with him. Their arms linked together. They both wore smug smirks, a crown on the Kronos head. He look so gorgeous, I felt like I didn't have knees.
I felt emotions rush to me again, I wanted to scream out in a sob. Wail to these people and maybe one of them could save me. I know better than that, I've always known. You can only save yourself.
His hair, silky and smooth, slicked back. The hair on his jaw cut clean. His suit sharp and fresh, as if the tailor made it just today. Just for him. The demons all now their heads, and drop to one knee. Hand over their heart. I stare at them weirdly, my eyes widening as I'm the only one left standing. Kronos' eye snaps to me. Before Natalia could im pulled down.
I was a panting mess. "Thank you." I whispered to Evangeline. She gave me a quick nod.

"Rise." He called out, we all respectfully with a slow manner stood to our feet. His eyes stare into mine, until they drop down. From my toes, my shoulders, my lips, my hair, and my back to my eyes. My breath hitched in my throat, I felt myself moving showing myself to him. I wanted him to do something to me. The way I moved was begging him to do something.
The way his eyes inked over to black was enough to tell me he knew to. His jaw clenched, his shoulders straightened out, it was until his mistresses each pressed a kiss to his lips I quickly turned away.
I started to play again, tears fogging my vision. I blinked them away, holding in my breath.
I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder. I looked up, Queen Irina's gentle smile shining in my eyes. "Doll, you've been at this for three hours. Give these little fingers a rest. Please, for me?" She says, already deciding for me as she grabs ahold of my hands and turns me away from the keys.
She stands me up as she beams. "You look gorgeous Queen Irina." She smiled, giggling as she always does. She wore a silk pink dress, a crown that in the corner of my eye I see Natalia eyeing. A evil look in her eyes. I brought my attention back to Irina.
"You are the sweetest thing!" She gushed pulling me up and into her arms. "Come, I can sense you haven't eaten all day." I was nervous, high ranking vampires and demons loved human blood. I was mostly scared of incubus. "You shouldn't be scared of them." I jumped as Irina whispered in my ear. She winked at me.
"Well, you should but...not when you're with me. Vlad is an incubus. Im the master vampire here. He's the grandson of the original Incubus." Irina says playfully. No wonder Kronos has so many mistresses.
"Id like you all to meet a special little someone. Opal Underwood. A very charming human." Irina introduces, her hands on my shoulders lovingly as she stood behind my back. I smile politely. I stared into the red eyes of the demons.
"Hello, nice to meet you all." I give them a bow but I accidentally bump Irina with my butt. My face heats up and I quickly spin towards the Queen. "I-I'm so sorry, Queen Irina!" They all let out smooth laughs, which didn't relax me at all.
Irina smiled and rubbed my arms up and down. "Look at her. Quiet a number, Irina." A woman said, she had blonde short hair. Her nose narrow and long, lips thin and red.

The man across from her nodded. "Do you wish to live eternally, darling?" He cooed to me. The friends around him laughed.
"No." I answered simply. They all seemed to pause, they flashed me a large smile. They seemed surprised by my answer. "I just feel...if the world just gets worse I'd feel horrible. Who would I be if I just see the friends I have fall, my family members fall. I like feeling warm, feeling scared," I giggled causing some to crack a smile.
I shrug my shoulders gently. "I like the memories I have now. Why be selfish and hog more." They all smirk towards the end causing me to smile.
"Isn't she just amazing." Irina gushes kissing my cheek, her eyes full of admiration. I smile, looking up and connecting eyes with Kronos from across the floor. He was so far away, the need to have him here with me, on me was growing each heated gaze we make.
I let out a shaky breath, two of the men take in a heavy breath. Their eyes turning pitch black. My eyes widened, they were incubus. And I was clearly turning something on. I gulped, Irina turned on her motherly nature. As if she sensed it too.
"Well, we must be going on. Boys, control yourselves." She said in a warning tone before she bowed her head and turned me in another direction. I was alone in my thoughts when something clicked.
"Y-you know...when you all went in another room-" I stumbled over my words. Irina's eyes gleamed over with something. "And Emma too. You've all known a-and haven't done anything-" She cut me off.
"We can't. Dimitri, take this lovely maiden for a dance." She whisked me off with her son. I panted, Dimitri's touch burning. I winced away from him, trying to move away from him but he kept me in a lock. I felt like hands had been latched onto my lungs, squeezing them tight so I wasn't able to get a lick of oxygen.
"P-please." I begged weakly.
"Just one dance. Dance with me." He complied. My body snapped into his as he ordered me with his magic. His hand sat on my lower back. We danced around the ballroom floor. I was severely underdressed. I looked over to see Carmen, she looked completely beautiful. She was dancing with a man that she looked at him in utter love and happiness.
I smiled to myself. I looked up to Dimitri who stared at me with soft eyes.
I look over his shoulder gulping as I saw Kronos switching mistresses. They all wore similar dresses. They danced with him. But as Natalia strolled over to him, I watched her eyes flash another color. Kronos' mimicking the color, her arms snaked around his neck. Her lips pressed into his, her hand dropped down to his groin. I felt an urge to go vomit. "I-I." Dimitri let me go making a face.
"Other way! Other way!" He squealed. I quickly dashed to the closest room out of the ballroom.
I apply the mascara I've lost due to my mishap. My cheeks stained red, my eyes watery and slightly puffy. I was alone in a room, I grabbed some perfume sniffing it. It smelled good, it smelled like peaches which I've always loved the smell of. I spritz it all over myself. Re-pinning my hair, I let out a breath. I had flushed my mouth with mint.
I gasped as i felt hands touch me. I turned around, Kronos' lips mashed into mine. I fell to my knees. I felt disgusted because I felt complete. He grabbed me and propped me on the bathroom sink. I moaned as his gesture of arousal pressed into mine.
He let out a beastly noise, his electric hands touched the skin that he was only ever supposed to touch. Our lips were bruised at the attack we forced open them. Our bodies were tingling messes, the new feeling shocking our systems.
"All these fucking men. Looking at you-" He panted, the deep huskiness had me whimpering. I kissed his lips as he spoke. I moaned as he fisted my hair, kissing down my lips to my neck. I pressed my weakness to his causing him to growl lowly.
"You don't understand what you're fucking doing to me, Opalescent. The scent you're leaving." He inhaled me deeply. I slowly peeled open my eyes, looking at this fallen dark angel.
"I c-can't help it. I tried t-to stop. Stop it. F-f-fuck you! They told-" His tongue fell into my mouth causing my eyes to drop close and my legs to wrap around his waist. His hand slipped up my thigh.
"I, Opalescent Underwood, r-reject you, K-Kronos Erebos-" He gripped my face causing me to let out a cry. His eyes went to a deadly black hole. Veins painted across them. He shook with rage at my words.
"Who told you that?! Who told you to say-it was that boy! You will never-" I watch with shock as he crumpled down. Fisting his hair in pain. But once I started to feel it too I screamed, things started to grow black but Benson bursted into the room. He mumbled words to me but I couldn't hear.
He picked me up and he flashed out.
