Mabel's POV:

I awake in the bitter cold darkness of a room. Touching my wrists, I could feel the imprints from the ropes earlier, but now cuffs were attached in place of the ropes. I pulled. It was connected to the wall next to a small twin bed.

"Someone is finally awake..." a voice said to me from the darkness.  Some one snapped their fingers, and a small lowlight turned on. Letting me see a small outline of a girl, she stood outside my cell.

I roll my eyes.

"What do you want Veronica?" I ask in a tired tone.

"You of course, you're the King's prized possession. A King is a not King without his Queen." Veronica states.

I look at her for a second trying to reprocess what she said. "What do you mean, King?" I ask.

"Bill is one of the most powerful demon to ever exist, and I, myself the second powerful is the one chosen for him." She smiled as if she was daydreaming about him.

"But you're getting in my way." Veronica said as she crept closer to me while her hands gripped the bars in front of me.

I could fully see her now, she wore another black dress similar to the last one. One of her eyes had turned fully black whilst the other was a bright gold.

Veronica wore high black heels under her long dress. This time there was a different cut in the back, showing most of her lengthy back.  Her long blonde hair was in curls. Her nails were viciously long and had a black color to them.

Compared to what I was wearing, I feel left out.

"I didn't choose to be apart of this." I state bluntly. She appeared in front of me abruptly.

She roughly grasped my neck, and pulled me closer to her crazy eyes. "But you are now, and my sweet little Bill will have to come crawling to me just to get you back." Veronica stated before pushing me back towards the cold wall.

She sauntered back to the cell door before opening it," Who knows if you'll be here by the time he gets here," Veronica said with a crazy smile.

"So you'd better watch out for what's coming for ya." She said in her mixed accent," The King needs his Queen, and it's not you." Veronica slammed the cold cell door shut.

I quietly sat there for a moment, wondering if he would actually come. It's not like I liked him or anything.....it depends.

I pull my legs in, and wrap my arms around them just to keep warm. Warm tears begin to stream down my face.
-------------------------------------------

Bill's POV:

I awake with a yawn and want to see my little Shooting star. Getting up out of bed, I change my clothes to some black jeans with a black tank while ruffling my hair.

I walk down the hall to her down to unlock it but it already was. That was strange, as I pull open her door.

Shooting Stars room was dark and her dresser doors were left open. A small bobby pin was in the lock. I quickly float throughout the halls, looking for my princess.

She was no where to be seen. I quickly slid down the railing to the first floor.

"Well well well, if it isn't my adorable fiancée!" A voice is heard from behind me, I was thinking it was Mabel who finally accepted me. When I turned around, there she was, my little Shooting star.

"Doll? What happened in your room?" I asked with a hint of concern in my voice.

"Oh nothing, I was trying to get a drink of water." She said with a sweet smile before walking closer to me.

My brows furrowed a little before looking down at her, she wore a short black dress that had gold celestial-looking accents like moons and stars. Mabel had a pair of black flats on her feet as well. Her hair was in soft curls, she looked absolutely stunning.

"Bill?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Yes my little Shooting star?" I replied in awe, looking down at her. Before I could react, her hands grasp my jaw and pulled me closer to her. My eyes open in surprise.

Her lips make their way to mine, in a passionate way. My eyes closed as she pulled me closer and I kept kissing her. But something was off, this didn't feel right. Shooting star greedily wrapped her arms around my neck.

I pulled away, and the sight shocked me. "I'm so glad you enjoyed that, Bill." She said.

Veronica Malentino stood in front of me, with a smirk dancing on her lips. I push her away with a look of disgust.

"Veronica! Where's my Shooting Star?!" I yell at her. A smirk danced on her lips as she looked at me.

"Oh I don't know, shouldn't you know where your little star is at?" Veronica said in a snarky tone.

"Veronica, I'm not here to play games. Tell me where she is." I reply in a serious tone.

She smirks before walking closer to me," What if I don't know where she is, and maybe I wanna play some games." Veronica replied, in some sort of a seductive tone. I forgot that she was a lust demon, unlike me who was a dream demon.

Veronica came closer and placed her hand on my cheek. A smirk still dancing on her lips," Do you want to play a game, Mr. Cipher?" She asks me, I could feel her nails crawling up my neck.

"No. You already have," I state, pulling myself out of her grasp. I start heading for the door, almost making it until I feel her arms wrap around my torso.

"Aww you're no fun!" she whined, placing her chin onto my shoulder.

"Veronica, I swear for the last time. Where is Mabel?!" I ask in angered tone.

"Somewhere, where you'll never find her." She smirks. My eye begins to become red, and my clothes begin to turn black and red.

"Veronica!" I say before grabbing her by the shoulders and throwing her across the room. She shrieked.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I yell at her in fury.

Veronica gets up, placing her hand on the wall with a glare in her eyes, and a pair of dark black horns are upon her head. Her eyes going completely black, showing her true form.

"Why would I tell you?" She hissed at me, her long pronged tongue coming out once in awhile.

I growled," BECAUSE SHES MINE!" I yell.

Veronica rolls her eyes,"You say that about every mortal girl you've met but you never said it about me! Isn't she just a pawn in your little game? Just like the rest?"

'Don't fall into her mind games!' I yelled at myself.

"This one is different! She's unique...to me!" I retort with a growl before Veronica came closer.

"Oh come on! That's pathetic!" Veronica replied in a disgusted tone with a swipe of her hand across her lips.

"She's just some mortal girl who's going to die soon! She means nothing to this world!" She shouted as one of her feet stomped on the ground. Almost as she was a mere child who didn't get what she wanted.

This began to anger me," She means everything to me!" I shout.

Veronica rolls her eyes as a look of disgust appeared on her lips," She might not think the same about you."

I began to walk a little closer to Veronica, somewhat angered," You. Take. That. Back." I say slowly.

"Bill, we all know that I'm the one for you. She even knows that herself. Even this whole dimension knows it's the truth." Veronica said as she flailed her arms in anger.

"Go find her if you want to, she won't love you anyways." Veronica replied with a snide look before examining her nails.

Her soulless eyes looked up at me, almost signaling a challenge. That was the last straw. I quickly charge towards Veronica with my hand outstretched with blue flames. Before I could hit her, she moved to the side.

Although I came around with a needle in hand, with my arm around her neck. She began to breathe quicker, as if she was afraid of me. Veronica began to struggle, oh how I loved this!

"You scared princess?" I say with a smirk.

"I-I....n-no." She mumbled before I stabbed the liquid into her neck. The liquid would drain her powers for awhile. Her eyes rolled before they closed as she began to fall.

Veronica fell to the carpeted ground with a soft thud. I threw the needle into the hall before carrying her to one of the many pillars, where I tied her up. That should keep her busy.

Now I need to find my Shooting star...

(Mabel's POV:)

More tears begin to fall down my face, was anyone going to come? I doubt Bill will, I don't think he loved me. He loved Veronica. Then I realized, why do I care? He kidnapped me! He was the one who got me into this!

A sigh of frustration comes from my mouth as I lean my head against the wall. I don't like him at all yet he makes my head spin!

Something glimmers in the corner of my eye. My bag was on the stool by the door, I decided that I should get it.

Getting up, I reached for the bag, almost catching the handle. The bag slipped off the stool, towards me. I move my feet towards the handle and grab it. Pulling it towards me, I pulled out my phone but it seemed to be dead.

Dang it!

A small jingle made a sound, as the ring Bill gave me fell from my bag. I quickly grasp it, moving it to the palm of my hand. The diamonds glittered lightly as it sat there.

A small sigh escaped my lips.

I guess I'm just going to wait...
