Chapter 17
(I just recently learned how short a 1000 word chapter is so I'm sorry for that. I was trying to write a long story but it's gonna be shorter than I thought lol.
Well 90 chapters is still a decent length so it's good ig.
And I'm currently writing chapter 45 when I post this
So I'm farther behind than I'd like to be. I would be at like chapter 50 but I'm writing 2 stories at the same time.
This one and another one. That ones writing is just chef's kiss. It's amazing and if this story doesn't get popular at least let the other one get popular lol. It's called the forgotten journey)
Ophelia's pov:
It’s now almost night, in just a little longer it’ll be pitch black here. I’m on the same couch watching tv, spongebob. I’m quite disappointed with myself for missing out on this my whole life. I always wondered what it’s like to sit on a couch after eating food and watching tv with a roof over my head. I never expected it to be this amazing.
Who knew some stuffed fabric and a picture changing square would be this amazing. This is such a luxury. I will forever be grateful. This is a whole second chance at life that I didn't know was possible. Living this second life with a man that I didn't even know on a planet that I don't know about. I know nothing here and every time I ask Seth a question and he doesn't have an actual answer he would say magic, or not to question it. Maybe this planet runs by those rules.
Not to question it. This world doesn't make sense but it doesn't have to make sense. It has magic.
I hear footsteps approaching. Oh yea he said he had something for me. Now I'm curious. He appears from around the corner of that weird hallway thing and walks in with something behind his back and he uses his wings to help cover it. Did he kill someone and wanted to show me??
I don't want to seem desperate but the urge to rock sideways to look behind his wings is strong. But I retain myself, I don't want to look like a child, I still have to keep my guard up.
He stops right in front of me. He looks down at me and asks, "will you wear this to the festival please?" And brings his hand from his back and holds a dress in front of me. It's beautiful, I take the dress and it's so soft. It's darker red with thin black over it. I don't really know how else to describe it because I know nothing about clothes. I look up to him. "Of course I will" I look back at the dress in complete astonishment. It has long sleeves and it sparkles.

Seth's pov:
She went to bed a little while ago. It's dark out again. I honestly did forget how the light changes from being in that cave so long, looking at them ugly ass creatures. And that ugly ass man I had to treat as my boss even though he knew I easily overpowered him. He probably used my naiveness as an advantage. Damn I was young and stupid. But then I just got older and more bored of him, he then became a waste of my time. Hopefully whoever works there now torchers him or he had to do some work for once. At least he'll have some nice scars on his neck.
Well anyways, I now gotta think of the festival. I go every time. And no one ever recognizes me besides the random attempts at hook ups. I sit on the bed and try to lay on my back as best I can. Sometimes these wings are a curse.
Oh yea I also remember who else will be there. My little brother, he also comes each time too, well he also doesn't have a choice. He's just so damn annoying and always trying to fight with me. Then he tried to come home with me and I wouldn't mind but he starts fights right after.
If we were up to organizing the festival it would never work out, thank god the system did it with the magic. Maybe this time we'll get along. It would be amazing if we actually got along for once after all these years. He used to be great till jealousy overcame him.
Maybe it was my fault, I never let him feel superior for once, but it's supposed to be like that. It's in our culture, our blood to be evil demons. We're everything humans are supposed to be scared of, the crazy midnight stalkers that hide under their beds. That's how we're raised, but my brother went wrong somewhere. He became weak and so soft, it disgusted me.
I'm only as nice as I am because I've been tainted by humans because I've been to earth so much. I wouldn't give a fuck about Ophelia if the humans and their kindness didn't get to me, and that I feel guilty for not saving her all that time ago.
My brother on the other hand, probably didn't get beaten enough. It's normal for younger siblings but it's sacred in royal families and my parents always torchered me more. I honestly feel bad for him. Poor kid. He never got as much attention as me because I was first. Maybe when I see him on the second night from now.
I gotta stop getting distracted and think of a way to hide Ophelia's scent. No one can know what she is. I would also worry about her appearance but I don't have to thanks to her wanting vampire teeth, now she will blend in with vampires more.
She said she wanted them 'cause I have them. One of the things I hated the most and she loved it. I hate everything about myself but she seems not to. Probably the first ever person not to cower away in fear, either times I met here before the last one.
On the last one she was terrified. I don't know why she was terrified, I know I'm a demon but it was so different than before. Well the first time she was probably too young to understand. And two years ago she was so curious, well that was until I tazed the old guy, she then looked scared. Then I had to use some magic to knock her out. I wasn't supposed to be seen.
I wasn't supposed to be seen on any trip I made to Earth, and the fact that I've seen her 3 times must have meant something. Especially with the system messing up and I had to take her with me the 3rd time.
I didn't want to take her but I had no choice. I would have been killed if I didn't take her. I had made a vow before I agreed to the job. The vow still affects me till I die, I know too much information about the system. It's like a government but more powerful because of the magic part. I can't tell anyone what it takes to get to earth or how the system works or I'll get murdered. I also had to take a different vow before taking my parents place and my brother had to too. Only a very certain few gets to know what happens behind the sun.
And it's hard to kill a demon but it's even harder to kill a royal one, especially one that's mixed with everything. We're immune to all the weapons that humans have. So no one can just get shot. We also can't get torn apart like those hellspawns do to people. Our natural instincts won't let us. We literally have to get shredded if the system decides to kill us before old age. Old age is the only natural way to die and that's so long away. We have to get shredded like a block of cheese or a piece of paper and I don't want to feel that.
It's probably better that she's here anyway, her life on earth seemed horrible. How can humans just torcher other humans? It goes against their nature.
Dammit I keep side tracking. Maybe I'll just put a spell over her.
