Void.

That's the state of my mind as I try to regain consciousness. The memories of last night slowly seeping into my mind from the vault of locked secrets in my head.

I slowly open my eyes to the beauty of the morning. I just walk up to my window and look at the beautiful world i live in.

How can I be sure I belong to this world if my whole life has been a lie? Last night my mind couldn't handle the pressure, my heart couldn't beat any faster and my thoughts were moving at the speed of light. Another day to face my fears.

I walked into the bathroom for my daily routine, I had lunch with Lilly like I promised.

I walked out of my room, towards the front door, not a word to any of the people staring at me and not a doubt in my mind that i was very angry at my parents for letting danger be the reason for me finding out the truth of my being.

I could write a poem about my feelings right now and even Shakespeare from his grave would be stunned at this composure. See, already working.

I took my car to head out when I was stopped by a hand on my arm. "You don't look okay, amore mio." He said. I hated the fact that his voice could loll me to sleep peacefully while that same voice scarred most of the populace. "Really? Pardon my carelessness. I meant for my looks to kill." I said yanking my arm out of his. My body filled with raging anger but my eyes held uncertainty.

"I know what you're thinking and to make you feel better, nothing will change the way I feel about you." He smiled at me as i pondered on his words, until it hit me. "So you just want to make me feel better?" I asked.

"No i didn't mean it that way, bambina." He tried to convince me but i drove out too fast for him to finish. He only wanted to make me feel better, he's only here to protect me.

I was a weeping mess as I got to lilly's house and God i hated the decor. It was too pink, I swear my vision could only see pink.

"Babyyy, who did this to you." I heard her shout from the front door of her mini mansion.

"Man...hurt...tired...please." Were the only words I could say before the tears continued. She embraced me in the most bone crushing hug, I thought i would die, that wouldn't be such a bad thought.

After the tears, I sat on her bed giving a detailed explanation of all that had happened to me in the course of my night.

She listened.

That was what i was most greatfull for. Although she did feed me a bunch of chocolate and sweets cause she believed it would heal any sad feeling I had. She was truly my friend.

We were in the kitchen when we heard a knock on the door. Lilly went to get it while i finished up the pasta we were cooking. She spent a while talking to the person at the door and when it seemed they were getting into a heated argument, I decided to step in.

I looked past her and there stood my knight in shining armour, Azazel.
"What are you doing here." I asked.

"I really didn't mean it like that, my love. Please believe me." Truth was i believed him. I just was too afraid of my own thoughts. I couldn't figure out the words to tell him and so i sealed our love with a hug and a long kiss. I heard lilly sigh in in the background.

"Why are you sighing?" I asked her. "Because i was arguing with him for you and you just forgave him so easily." I looked at her in shock but smiled at her defensive nature. I tried to convince her that he's a good person but she didn't give in.

After dinner, Azazel stood took my hand as he spoke. "Andiamo, banbina." ( let's go, baby girl.) "Can we stay the night?...please." I begged.

"Fine, but we're staying in the same room." I smiled at him as he pulled me into his arms and we headed to the guest room.

We changed into our pyjamas and went to bed. For a prince of hell, he sure loved to act human. He's my prince, he's my fate. As much as he protects me, I will protect him.

Sometime during the night i felt him leave my side but then he returned. I felt the bed sink on his side buy when u reached over to cuddle, I didn't feel anything. I openex my eyed and was met by a dark figure hovering on his side.

I opened my mouth to scream but it's hands were clasped around my mouth. I struggled and strugglex to free it's grip but nothing worked. Nothing at all. Where was Azazel?
I kept screaming his name in my head hoping that somehow his name would scare the demon off me.

I was about giving up, when Azazel barged into the room and immediately the dark figure disappeared into thin air. He rushed to my side and cupped his sweaty hands on my cheeks as i shuddered.

"Where were you?" I asked him. "I saw a dark figure walkong down thr hall and i followed it until i heard you screaming my name." He responded pulling me into a tight hug.

"Wait, I never had the chance to scream your name, it had it's hand on my mouth." I told him with confusion. He starred at me for a while before seeming to finally come back to reality.

"We're going to have to train you. Your abilities have started surfacing." He said as he held me tighter. "What was that thing?" I asked, hands trembling with shallow breaths.

"It was one of the legions. I think our enemy just made the first move on us." He Said but i was already half asleep and didn't want to reply. He better hold me tight all night.
