WRITER'S POV
Grace groaned in pain when she came back from her never ending darkness ...as soon as she opened her eyes ...unfamiliarity embraced her...for a second she was confused and demented but then realized what happened ....panic rushed through her senses when she realized that she was not in the mansion ...this place wasn't her mansion ...this place wasn't somewhere she belong ....
Her heart started beating like crazy ...she ran towards the door , tried to unlock it but nothing happened ...she started banging it madly ...
"please ...someone help ...please ...." She slid down against the door after her efforts ..which all went in vain
"hey baby...wake up ..." a distant voice disturbed her deep slumber ...she slowly opened her eyes and blinked back to get the clear view of the figure sitting beside her ...and once the figure came in view her eyes widened in horror and shock ...
"l-lucifer" her voice trembled and so did her body as her eyes widened in disbelief seeing the person she never expected to see ever again .
"how did- I was in mansion ......how d-did you" confusion spiked in every cell of her body when she realized that it was not the romano's mansion , she was at his place .
"yeah baby ...it's me , I brought you food ...come eat " his behavior confused her , his demeanor was making her want to hide herself in some corner , he was lucifer but at the same point he was far away from that helpless and nerdy boy she first met. he didn't have this scary and dark aura around him when they used to study together in college .
"w-where am I ...a-and how did y-you take me here.." She asked him again , totally shocked at the fact of him taking her out of the mansion because it was spell bound no one can enter without the permission of the romanos .
"FIRST. EAT . AND . THEN. WE'LL. TALK" he glared at her stressing each word clearly ...
"NO .first tell me how did you get me out of there ...you can't enter the mansion without permission" anger surged through her but that ticked him off because the next second he backhanded her with such force that she fell on the floor hard , she whimpered in pain .
"this is what you get for acting like a b***h in front of me ...and don't you dare talk to me like that ever again ...I won't mind you without your tongue" he snapped ...his voice was enough to shake her whole body
"now what do we say babygirl" his whole demeanor changed ...just some moment earlier he was raging and now he was giving her a devilish smirk
"I-I am s-sorry" she blurted out horrified of what he just did to her and what he said to her
".awww my love . you are forgiven baby...but don't do this again ok...you would surely won't want me angry ...right baby " now grace was confirmed that he was a sick bastard , he was a freaking bipolar but nevertheless grace nodded not wanting to trigger him
"c'mon eat now " he took a spoon full of pasta and brought it near her mouth ...grace was completely perplexed with his behavior ...he wasn't the lucifer she knew but who she was talking ,even the ones who claimed to be in love with her made her walk through hell so what she could expect from a man who she only knew for some months .
"I -I am not hungry" her voice just a mere whisper which he surely heard
"did I ask you" he asked in a dangerously low tone
"huh" grace gave him a confused look
"I SAID DID I f*****g ASK YOU ....WHEN I SAY SOMETHING YOU DO IT ....DON'T DENY ME OR MY ORDERS ...DO YOU UNDERSTAND ANIMA"his raised voice made her flinch and she nodded her head furiously ....the only question in her mind was why she was being hurt physically , mentally and emotionally ...
She took a deep breath and started eating whatever he was feeding her , he was only focused on her when her eyes landed on the door which wasn't closed , without any second thought she pushed him and ran out of the door ....she ran mindlessly not even caring in which direction she was running ..she just knew one thing that no way in hell she was going to be the victim of another psychopath . she walked through the empty corridors ...the place she thought of to be just an apartment turned out to be a huge castle , unlike the romanos castle there wasn't even a single soul present which terrified her more...she fell on her knees when she didn't find any escape route ..her breathings were ragged but soon her eyes lit up when she saw the biggest door filling her with the hope of her freedom ...with new found hope she stood up and ran for her life ...the door opened at the single touch of hers which perturbed her but she ignored it , happy tears stained her cheek when the sun hit her face and the fresh air through the garden hit her nostrils . she ran outside , no guard was there at the main gate to which she was grateful ...just like earlier with a single touch it opened again and she almost jumped in happiness when she stepped outside the gate , then again without any stop she ran again for few minutes and that's when her happiness turned into horror when she saw what was infront of her
Her eyes went wide in horror ...everything was dark there no sign of light was there other that the scary burning fire ...there was no grass , there were just fired rocks , molten lava and an excruciating amount of heat due which she was now sweating profusely ..
Terrified she changed her direction just to ran down in to another scary place like that , where ever she'd go a new place similar to another one would welcome her ...
"is this even earth ...where am i" she whispered in disbelief and horror , her heart was racing with an uncontrollable speed . she was trying to move into another direction when an arm wrapped around her waist tightly and she froze as soon as the words escaped the mouth of the person she knew very well
"WELCOME TO HELL BABY"
