AMULET MANSION ; USA

Sitting in front of each other across the kitchen slab both of them were staring at each other. She reminisced about the situation she was in just a few minutes ago.

The man, or she should say the creature lunged at her. She stepped aside in reflex. Being the popular big-shot with a genius mind and valuable research analysis in possession ; to be trained in various forms of martial arts, weapons and techniques of self defense was not an aspect of choice.

She was a skilled fighter with the training to even kill if the situation arises.

Her alerted sharp eyes swarm through the group. The couple amature ones even had their fangs out and on full display. Their claws itching to swipe her blood.

She smirked. This was her time to play. The astonishment by the existence of the supernatural will come later on when the adrenaline would wear-off. If it may, that is.

And considering her recent acquaintances with Aphelion brothers ; she was expecting something like this sooner or later.

The genetic make-up of the Lucifer Acheron Aphelion was a sight to behold. She was clear of one thing ; he was not a human.

And if so ; not a normal one. But encountering these creatures she now knew he was not at all human.

And she was the Siya Nova Amulet herself. Some tantrum throwing creatures don't have the power to suppress her.

And she punched hard on the face of a creature who lunged at her from the back. When she pulled her hand back she noticed there was a black substance on her hand.

She realized the creature contains black blood. Or whatever that was. Ewww. She thought.

But before she could do anything more, the temperature of the surroundings decreased drastically. She shivered a bit from the sudden chill.

The mist and fog filled the air. The creatures all froze in their places. And she sensed a familiar presence behind her. The presence which she was so familiar with, today it was colder, more domineering and down right lethal.

Yet it didn't fail to give her a certain warmth. It made her corner of the lip raise a bit in a sassy smirk. As soon as the fog cleared the six creatures facing her were trembling terrified.

"Not so strong now, are we?" She taunted them while the power radiating her, mixed with the majestic aura of the person behind her was enough to dissolve each of the six into dust.

"Straight. Back. To. Hell." Four words. Deep, velvety and full of authority containing four words.

The creatures disappeared immediately in the mist with a pop. Majestic figure engulfed her from behind.

This was where she belonged. She thought. In the warm and protective embrace of one and only ; Lucifer Acheron Aphelion.

The walk back to the Amulet mansion was silent. She then pressed the red button to end the call which was still connected to Lucifer himself.

She was still shivering a bit due to the chills of his presence. Realizing it ; he immediately removed his own suit jacket and wrapped it around her securely.

As soon as they reached the mansion, Nova went towards the kitchen and started opening the bag from the bakery and laying the different array of cookies on the platter.

She smiled seeing a packet of chocolate pastry, muffin and cold coco wrapped up with a little note of 'For my little lady' signed by Mrs. Brooke.

At that moment Lucifer decided to break the silence. "I am surprised to think you're even alive at the moment." His tone was cold and calculative.

In these past months, she was well aware of his mood swings that the very little habits of him surprised her.

"Do you think some amateur tantrum throwing creatures would affect me?" Her answer was calm and her tone was like she was having a conversation about the weather with him.

He was well aware of her nature too. But everytime her maturity, calmness and ability to digest the situation amazed him.

"Creatures? The 'tantrum throwing creatures' you so mildly put it as Siya ; were the Demons of hell. Nearly a century old. " he stated. It stopped her in her tracks. So the supernaturals do exist. Wonderful. She thought.

"They had zero control over their actions no matter their age. And I have faced worse than these. If you think, some young demonlings from hell will make me want to disappear ; then you're wrong. Think again." Her voice was calm but with certain steel hidden inside it. Which didn't go unnoticed by him as always.

More worse than these? Demonlings? This woman was certainly a packet of surprise. He thought.

"Moreover, they obeyed you. Are you their boss or something? You should train them to control themselves well or something. " Her casual voice and question made him sigh.

"King." He replied. 'Huh?" She asked, looking straight in his eyes. "I am their King." He answered more firmly this time. "Cool. Do Vampires and Werewolves exist? Are you their king too?" She asked with wide hazel eyes and a certain tint of excitement in them.

He nearly blanched out loud at her incredulity. Really? Is she for real?

"I revealed that I might be an entirely different specie than you ; and the first question you asked me is 'Are Vampires and Werewolves real?' You have a damn good capacity to digest the reality and that too soon." He can't help but blurt out.

"Well not really ; when I studied your genes I was 99.99% sure that you're not human. And in 0.001% possibilities if you're human, then you're an enhanced one. So I was kinda ready for this to happen sooner or later.

But the thing that surprised me most was ; my genes were blended to yours so perfectly like they were made for each other.

Like yours were the other half of mine. Because theoretically ; your genes should have destroyed mine brutally with their strength and majorly the heat content bounded in them.

So I am really very curious to see the final results of HRS. I want to see how much of your traits he accepts. And what would be his own genetic structure. " she explained.

He listened to her calmly but he himself didn't know the answer to her question. And the only way to find out was studying the genetic structure of HRS after he is fully manufactured.

He was surprised and thankful that she didn't ask any questions about himself or his species and respected his privacy.

She was one incredible woman. He sighed and got up. He went behind her and enclosed her tiny body in his arms from behind. And kiss the crown of her head gently.

And in return she melted in him and looked up with that sweet reserved smile especially for him while offering a cookie to his lips. It was familiar for him. So damn familiar. Home. It was Home. And it was perfect.

A person who was gazing at them was seething in silent rage. They were not that powerful enough to go before him and yank her out of his protective embrace. No. Not this time. He can not steal her from them after so many centuries. Again.

She was theirs. But when the time will come ; they promised to themselves that they would fight heaven and hell combined, with King Hades Agesilaos himself ; if it may come, to separate her from him for her own good. To protect her purity and innocence from his dark and evil existence.

And the promise was bound to be kept.
