Marked by the Devil Chapter 31
I gently removed the dress from my body, like it was the most expensive thing in the world. I neatly folded it while sitting on the king-sized bed and placed my dress on a silver table, along with everything else.The way I folded it reminded me of my mother, Kimberly. She told me that if I folded my clothes neatly then they'd look prettier when I wear them. I don't know how true but I still believed it.I was too tired to return them to their normal places. I was even to tired to call the maid. Besides, I didn't want to bother them so late at night. I wasn't heartless.The party was a dream come true. I had never felt so happy, safe and loved altogether so much in my life. Elliot was truly the best. I couldn't imagine my life, here on, without him. He wasn't a prince but he sure acted like my Prince.The door of the bathroom opened and Elliot appeared. He had pulled on a black showercoat and was rubbing a towel through his black longer hair. His red eyes sparkled as he did. I had nev

For someone who was deep in sleep, I opened my eyes sharply. Like a resting crocodile would when another reptile tried to steal her eggs. I was sleeping but when I remembered Elliot and couldn't feel Kim on the bed, I had to get up.'Did Elliot kill Kim?' That was a very stupid thought. If Elliot could let go of me when he wanted me the most to let me take care of a little girl then he could take anything.I sat up and rubbed my eyes, searching for Kim but I couldn't catch even a glimpse of her. She opened all the windows in the room and the bright light blinded me for a second."Kim. Kim, where are you?!" I screamed, getting out of the bed.The room was big... she could be anywhere. I turned to the bathroom when I heard her mischievous giggle. She had to be in there.I opened the bathroom door."Good morning, Auntie Lexa," she said with a mouthful of strawberry toothpaste.She was brushing her teeth and preparing to bathe. I was sure the other kids would be doing the same. Miss Rica

Lexa sharply turned to Elliot like he had committed a great sin. She stood up and stepped back, fearing for the worst to come."P-poisoned? By-by who?!"Elliot held her hand and placed her on the bench with minimal struggle. He noticed that when she was worried or her thoughts were scattered, she couldn't use her powers to the maximum.That explained how the nurses could move her away so easily. She still needed training.'Calm down, Alexa.'"Who would want to poison her?! Why?! She's already dying and yet she was... I'm gonna sue this hospital!" She turned her focus to the passing nurses and doctors, as well as the hospital itself. "How did my mother get poisoned?! Someone answer me!"Elliot had to drag her out of the hallway and into an unused room in the hospital but that didn't stop her from continually screaming. He placed her hand over her mouth and wouldn't stop unless she promised to.The colour of her green eyes had turned black. For a devil, he was terrified to see that. But

He sat beside her on the sick bed, watching her breath slowly and waiting for her eyes to pop open. He had been there for an hour, waiting for any sign of recovery from her.He was so patient and for the first time, Lot waited with him without throwing any tantrums at him. He held her hand and kept looking at her fingers. He always saw something new when he looked harder.He felt her blood flowing but yet no response from her. He tried talking to her and begging her to wake up but nothing.Yes, he was frustrated but he didn't find it in his heart to leave her. He felt terrible about everything. Kimberly was dead and Lexa was broken because of it.Elliot too was also broken but he knew that the bond they shared was stronger than the bond he could ever have with Kim.He sighed and bent his head, placing her hand on his forehead... waiting for something."Any response from her, Mr Vile?"Elliot didn't know when he entered but he didn't seem surprised. "Nothing." He rose his head. "She's

"She told him to stay away from him." I wanted to stand and run away but I was stuck to the chair and I couldn't budge either it or me. We were rooted in that position."I will no more listen to this nonsense! Release me!""I warned you about your mother's life being in danger."I calmed down and gazed at her in realization. "It was you?""But you didn't heed my words and he didn't listen to your mother." I was afraid of the next words she would say. "So he killed her."Everything she said was making sense but I couldn't find it in my heart to believe it. Elliot could never do such a thing. "He wouldn't...""That's why he tried to mate you early. When he couldn't, he killed her. He was afraid she would tell you and you would stay away from him. He even told the doctor not to investigate the matter. He doesn't love you, Lexa. It's an obsession!""No!" I screamed in terror."Question him! Find out for yourself!""No!" I continued screaming."When you've come to know the truth, you know

They were so many. Lexa had no idea what he used them all for."My Dragon mamba poison is here. It's intact."'That's the poison that killed my mother?' Lexa thought.She became sober on thinking about her mother again. The least she could do was give the worst punishment to the culprit.Lexa didn't know what she would do to Elliot if she found out he was behind it, whether it was him or Lot. They went to a part of the room, walking around all the tables that carried weapons.At the very end, on a line that stood just as tall as them. Elliot used his eyes to search for it. Lexa watched him while he did, since she couldn't tell which was which.After Elliot searched the whole line. He went back to the beginning, looking confused. He searched again and there was worry written on his face.That also worried Lexa. She hoped it was not what she was thinking."What is it, Elliot?"He rubbed his forehead, checking the bottles of poison again."It...it isn't here."Lexa's brain went on pause

Rica's POVI spinned the revolving chair I was sitting on. It twirled me 360 degree round a single spot with a big unending smile on my face as it continued to twirl me. Then I immediately stopped it.I looked towards a mirror and I could see my face...ageing. My end was near. Any normal witch would worry about it and begin to search for longer days but not me. I didn't care. I didn't care if I died today because my mission was complete.Almost complete. I had a last thing to do before I could tag my mission as 'completed'. I stood up from the chair and looked around me. I was in a destroyed uncompleted building that was located in the outskirts of Olia.Everywhere was dark but my crystal ball gave out bright blue light that brightened everywhere. The doors of the building were old and rotten, and they dangled from their hinges like they were only attached to it by a bare string.The floors of the building were covered with rusted nails and bolts, dead leaves, infested planks of wood

Lexa's POVIt was hard to sleep at night when he was not by my side. I felt vulnerable when his hands didn't trap my waists like he loved to do. I couldn't feel his cold pale skin on mine and I was feeling immense heat where I was silently sitting.Though we were high in the sky, which meant the environment should be cooler as science had proved but I felt so hot inside. I wanted to pull my clothes off my miserable body.I looked around me and realized that I was the only one feeling that way. That's when I realized that the heat was coming from inside me. On the speakers, a female voice nnounced something that I really wasn't listening to.'Ladies and gentlemen, Bandasun Airlines welcomes you to Paris. The local time is 3:pm. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate.

He told me many tales about heaven that made even me want to go there.He said that Angels grew like children on earth. They were taught the ways and traditions, and their behaviours would determine what category of angels they would fall into.Fierce angels became warriors and guardians of heaven, ready to fight at every instance of their life.

I wished it was any other game picked.I knew the history of the game and the important details but still I was in the library, making more research on the book named 'Dragon Tamers'.The simple history of the Dragon Tamers.

Lexa's POVWe had been served our dishes. I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?" It was hard to stop the tears from coming out so I used my cold palms to cover my hot teary eyes. I took a deep breath and cleared them. "You had a fight? Is everything

It was recently that I realised how much freedom I had given Andras on my throne.I chose him because I trusted him, but even the best demons can't be relied on. I felt like a fool. My love for Lexa had taken over me. I couldn't concentrate on my kingly duties. But I didn't regret falling for her. I would have my way and I would have both Alexa and my crown.I was picking out clothes when a knock announced itself on the door. I didn't want to answer it but it was the scent of the senior maid so I had to."Enter!" She hesitated but entered my room. She came empty handed and not in her uniform, so it gave me the idea that she wasn't here to serve me gin or give me updates on the masnion. "Not now, Nora. You can leave."She didn't. She stood right there in her position, watching me from the distance.I ignored her and picked
