Chapter 4[Birthmark..?]

My brother started driving as we said our goodbyes to Luna.I couldn't stop staring at her from the side mirrors of the car,nor my mind wouldn't stop thinking about her recent behavior either.

Is everything alright with her?Should I we worried about myself just like how she told me to?Is there something I should be worried about?

"Hey!Bella!"

I blinked a few times as Rowan snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to look at him.

"Good gracious Bella...were you even paying attention to me?"

Oh shoot, he was talking to me?I slowly shook my head from side to side.

"Hey, are you okay?You've been awfully silent this whole ride..."

He looked at me with a very concerned look.I forced a smile while I just shook my head.

"Ahh..no...I'm....I'm fine, just a little sluggish, that's it."

He nodded, his attention now fully on the road again. Oof that was close.

The whole ride was silent from there, not that I minded too much.My mind had been occupied with Luna's words since morning.Was it an advise?A warning?

Now that I'm thinking, Luna had always been there for me whenever I needed help or was facing any issues.If I was in any sort of trouble or danger, she'd know it right away and appear all of a sudden like a guardian angel.

I remember the time she appeared out of nowhere when I was almost mobbed by a group of drunk weebs after my extra classes.I swear she was out of town.But god, her timing is always beyond perfect.If it wasn't for her ,I would have ended up molested ,or worse, raped, that night.

I always thought she had some tingly senses, you know, like those kind of people who could sense danger ahead of time.

So, was she trying to tell me something this time?

A group of Highly Officials walked to the demon on the throne, face dripping with sweat, legs trembling and heart beating as if they're about to pop out of their chests.

The demon sensed it, they're afraid of him, afraid they might not make it out of the room alive or in one piece.Even the thought of them fearing him to death make him smirk, too bad he's not in the mood to burn off any souls today.

They are one of the highest positioned officials here, yet, they fear him just like any other residents in hell.He slightly tilted his head towards them, signalling them to continue.

"M-master, all preparations for your visit to the earth is taken care of.All there's left.....is for you to step down....."

The demon on the throne nodded, signalling the officials to get out of the room.He crossed his legs while an arrogant smirk found it's way to his lips.

"Be prepared my pretty little angel, for you are about to face your biggest nightmare yet."

My heart jumped in joy as the car entered the valley, decorated with beautiful and exotic flowers.I could see the cottage from far.It isn't any fancy house or something but it's a beautifully built cottage house in the midst of a huge garden, the kind of place fit for a couple who loves nature, just like my grandparents.

When the car came to a halt, I could see an elderly couple with warm smiles exiting the house to welcome their grandkids.I immediately jumped out of the car and ran to their embrace , which they were beyond happy to give.

After moments of welcoming , we entered the house, while my hands were still clinging onto grandpa.I took a moment to look around.Nothing changed, from the tiny vase on the coffee table to the arrangement of grandma's book's on the shelf, it was all the same as last year.All these brought a smile to me face as I inhaled the scent of the comfy cottage house.

We settled ourselves on the hall and began chattering away.

We sat there talking about our journey and the things we missed in a year for quite some time.It was mostly me who did the talking.I made sure to update them on every single thing that happened this year.Well,what do you expect, I haven't seen them in a whole year.

"Say, Bella...you look so different compared to your last visit."

I looked at my grandpa, trying to read his face.

"Really? I thought I always looked the same."

I snickered while he smiled at my words.He remained quiet for some time but spoke after a while.

"You look just like your mother in her teen ages."

My smile completely dropped, as he got up and pulled my hands to the nearest mirror in the kitchen.He made me face my reflection while he stood behind me.

"Look at those large eyes, that tiny nose, your brunette hair and most of all, that porcelain skin. You really took all your mother's beautiful traits, haven't you?You look just like your mother, the most beautiful women I've seen apart from your grandma."

He said as grandma nudged his elbow playfully.

"You've really grown well Bella.Your beauty is ravishing ,but the more you're growing, the more I'm worried for you.The world is too cruel and dark for a beautiful soul like you."

I looked at him with doubtful eyes.Why is everyone being so weird to me today?I was still facing my reflection on the mirror while I glanced at my grandpa's reflection as he was still standing behind me.His eyes clearly showed worry and fear.

"What are you talking about grandpa?"

I was still maintaining eye contact with him through the mirror.The next thing he did caught me off guard.

He brought his hand to the crook of my neck and pressed it slightly as I winced in pain, moving back a little.

The mark I've covered since I was small, the mark I never wanted anyone to see in my body and the mark that I made a little secret of mine that not even Luna knows about.
