Call Of The Devil

His Soulmate

A few seconds passed, Nothing.

No pain came, no stabs, she didn't feel anything. She didn't think to dare open her eyes, too afraid of what she might see

Eventually, her curiosity got the better of her and she opened her eyes slightly to peek at the person( thing) above her. The breathtaking boy with the horns was still standing above her, he still had that very sharp dagger in his grasp ready to kill her. But for some reason unknown to her he wasn't making any movement whatsoever, his scarlet eyes were fixated on her hands. She couldn't help frowning in confusion and turning her gaze down to her hands, she did not see anything particularly wrong there

" Impossible " The person bites out with a voice filled with disbelief and disdain

Angy became frightened again. She didn't understand nor did she like that dark expression on her soon-to-be killer's face at all

" give me your wrist"

Confusion was etched on her face "What?"

" I said give me your wrist!"

The poor girl wanted to cry! She stretched both her wrists towards the direction of the person, there was a burning sensation as he held onto her right wrist seemingly engrossed in the piece of writing there

" When did you get this?" His smooth voice came again, this time a bit softer

" the tattoo?"

" what else?!" And the softness was gone as he sneered down at her, it would seem he was holding himself back from just slitting her throat. She shivered

" it..it appeared last night"

" last night?"

" yes" she didn't know if the question was being directed at her but she didn't want to take any risk of further angering him if it wasn't. He traced a pale slender finger over the words

" p..please d..don't kill me. I...I won't say a word" she pleaded, the other gave her a cold glare, one that screamed for her to be quiet. She shut her mouth

" I have no other choice but to let

you live now do I ?"

At his words, a feeling of hope began to spring in her heart. Was this person going to let her live?

" what's your name?"

She dared to look up. The gorgeous man didn't have a scornful expression anymore, instead, it was a calm though stoic expression, she almost dared call it soft. Well compared to the brute nature he had shown not a while back it was indeed soft.

" Angy" she didn't stutter this time

" is that your real name?"

" No, it's Angela B...but everyone calls me Angy "

Didn't know why she was telling him this, hadn't he tried to kill her moments before? But for some reason unclear to her, she felt like she could trust him, that he could protect her, what nonsense! someone who tried to kill her just now could protect her!? she was going crazy from fright

" Angy. I like it, even though I don't like humans"

A finger was placed under her jaw tilting her head back to stare into blood-red eyes. Mesmerizing... The Man...or maybe boy, as he looked her age or even slightly younger, seemed to be observing her face, Soon after a proud smile made its way across his face

" beautiful. As expected of my soulmate, only the best is acceptable. You are lucky indeed"

As confused as Angy was she didn't dare say a word. She cared about her life too much to do that

" Eric!?"

A voice broke through their silence. Angy's eyes darted toward the direction the voice came from. Through the pouring rain, she could make out a white-haired figure drawing closer to them. The person, Eric as he was called made an annoying sound but thankfully let go of her face

" I thought we agreed you wouldn't go far, I was worried"

" shut the hell up, Damien "

' Damien', the white-haired handsome man let out a cheeky smile, Angy realized he was the creature she had seen earlier. She had run away from the monster only to encounter a demon! How had she not seen it coming? If she survives this day then she would never willingly help random strangers again!

" This girl?" Damien raised a brow at her

The red-haired one sneered at him, barring a pair of rather sharp canines that could very easily dig into a person's flesh.

Angy cried internally. Just what had she encountered today?!

" you can go" Eric's attention was back on her. Damien raised a questioning brow at the demon Prince's words

"you're letting her go?"

" I...I can go?"

" you can. I'll find you later on"

Stumbling to her feet, Angy didn't pay mind to the last part as she ran off in the first direction she saw. God, she was so screwed

* * *

" you let her live?"

Damien couldn't help the surprise that laced his words. Never in his thousand years of living has he ever seen the prince of hell who was brought up and raised to be cruel and merciless show any sign of remorse, especially not for a human who he hated the most

" do I need to explain myself to you now?" Eric glared at him

Damien raised his hands in surrender " Of course you don't, but am a bit confused at the moment. Not long ago you said you couldn't let her live and now you go and do the direct opposite and even promise to find her later on. Weren't you the one who always say you disdain the human world? "

" I will do as I please, it's none of your business as it is"

Damien couldn't help but sigh. When it came to the arrogant prince, there was no other way around it

" I suppose we can head home now," Eric said

" And the girl?" Damien asked with a confused frown

" what about her?"

"you're going to let her live?"

The prince stared at him blankly. Damien knew he wasn't going to get any answer out of him any time soon, he chose to give up on the topic for now

" let's go"

Shimmering flames appeared just below their feet gradually making their way to surround them. It was a portal back to the underworld, the same one he would use to get back to the girl

* * *

When the flames cleared around them, they were standing in a familiar environment

With the smell of ashes and the dark grayish atmosphere, they were back in the underworld

A troop of well-trained devils had long been awaiting their arrival. They bowed respectfully as the Prince's figure approached

" welcome back Prince" the leader of the group greeted

Eric ignores them walking ahead to the waiting carriage

" Don't pay mind to him, Alumni, he's in a bad mood" Damien smiled apologetically at the guards before increasing his pace to catch up with Eric

" you don't have to act so grumpily you know, we got our task completed"

" that doesn't matter, I need to see my father as soon as possible"

" how come?"

Eric frowned but didn't respond. He had better things to think of than his friend's meddlesome questions. For starters, how was he supposed to tell Lucifer that after so long he had finally found his other half, but unfortunately it turned out to be a human girl

What could he do? He couldn't simply get rid of the worthless thing, he was already catching feelings and that wasn't good at all,

He didn't need a weakness. Not now when he was so close to achieving his dream, when he was on the brink of wiping out humanity

Curse it all!

" that girl?"

His attention was brought back to his protector who sat facing him directly in the moving carriage. Damien stared at him with a knowing look and suspicion

" she's the one isn't she?"

It wasn't a question since both of them already knew the answer

" she bears my name"

" you saw it?"

He nodded. Damien sighed sympathetically

" what are you going to do?"

" what else can I do? I can't kill her"

" But you can wait, humans are very peculiar creatures, they die off too quickly. Give it a few decades and she'll be gone"

" that's the problem"

" what problem?"

" I don't want her to die"

Both were silent. It was obvious the implication of those words

" Eric..."

" Am catching feelings, I know. This is why I need to talk to my father"

" do you think he already knows?"

" he does"

For his sake, Eric hopes the constant flashes of that human girl's face in his mind would go away soon

* * *

Angy hit her foot hard in her hurry to climb the stairs leading to her room. She didn't feel much pain though since her entire body felt numb due to soaking in the rain for so long. She sprinkled some water on her face when she made it to her bathroom sink, she stared at her reflection in the mirror

Her eyes were swollen and red probably from crying too much. Her mascara was all smudged, she looked awful, pitiful, scared mostly

' Beautiful, as expected of my soulmate'

Her mind went back to those words uttered by the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Most beautiful person?...thing was more exact.

What did he mean by soulmate? Did he think she was beautiful? But why did that even matter?! Why wasn't she feeling as frightened as she should have been? Why did she keep seeing those beautiful crimson eyes in the back of her mind? Just why?!

' I'll come to find you later '

Why wasn't she scared by that? Much to her dismay, she found herself looking forward to seeing that boy again....whatever he was.

No no no! She should forget whatever it was she saw!

" you promised you wouldn't say anything" Angy reminded herself. The boy...thing had spared her life, he didn't burn her like that poor corpse she saw earlier. She had to keep her mouth shut or else he might come back to finish her off!

"Angy? Are you home dear?"

She flinched at her mother's voice calling from downstairs. She hurriedly wiped her face with a towel. She was going to forget whatever happened today. Her life pretty much depended on it

" Coming Mom"

She headed downstairs

* * *

The sound of his footsteps echoed as they made contact with the bright crystal flooring

Eric took in a deep breath as he came closer to the throne, on reaching it he went down on both knees with his head bowed

" Greetings Father"

" Welcome back Eric. I've been expecting you"

The prince raised his head, his eyes making contact with similar pairs of red eyes

The scarlet-haired male who looked about the same age and almost identical to him flashed a smile showing off a pair of razor-sharp canines

" I see you've completed your mission successfully, am very pleased"

" thank you, Father"

" I feel you have something else to tell me apart from the mission?"

The prince exhaled tensely, mentally preparing himself. Lucifer c****d an amused brow at his son's anxiousness

" on this mission, I...found someone"

" someone?"

" a girl"

" human?"

" yes Father"

" And what's so special about this mortal girl" The demon king grinned

Eric frowned, he suspected the king was already well aware of everything that happened in their mission and he knew just who this girl was and what she meant to him. His father would hardly pass up an opportunity to torture him knowing just how much he would hate talking about the topic

" s..she's my soulmate"

" I didn't quite get that"

The prince gritted his teeth " I said she's my soulmate!"

" I know, it's quite ironic ha ha ha!"

The King's mocking laughter boomed across the empty throne room

Eric clenched his fist but he dared not move from his position or even say a word to revoke his father. That was just how strong and mighty Lucifer was, and so he waited
