I felt something flash through my body. Almost like something possessed me. I sat up on the bed in a jolt, in front of me stood a man.
He had dark red shoulder-length hair, he was wearing black and white stripes t-shirt with black jeans. He had 2 black horns on his head, one broken off and a black tail, his wings weren't small but folding to his back, making them look a bit smaller than the rest.
"Hey baby girl," He said
"Who are you?" I ask
"My names Eros, my queen" He bowed to me
"Why are you bowing?" I ask
"Uh...nothing," He said
"Why are you here Eros?" I ask
"I am your personal assistant in hell, sent by the king himself" He snickers, "Now come on! Let's go get breakfast" I took the hand he had extended on to me.
"W-wait...am I..." I suddenly asked
"Yes, you are alive" He chuckles,
"Then, can I get dressed at least?" I smile at him in embarrassment
"Already done" He snapped his fingers together and the black mist lifted around my body. After a moment, the mist disappeared. I looked into the full body mirror in the corner of the room to look at the beautiful dress I was wearing... It was a simple, off the shoulder black dress and my hair was done into a waterfall braid.
"Wow..." I whispered.
"I know, I'm amazing at this" He smirked
I stuck my tongue at him and after a second of joking and laughing, we went to the kitchen.
Jay was sitting in his chair with his hands to his forehead. His hair disheveled and his shirt wrinkled. He kept murmuring 'please wake up' over and over again. I stepped into the kitchen yet he didn't notice me, just kept murmuring.
"..."
"..."
Me and Eros didn't say anything...We stood there and continued to stare at him.
"I'm from hell and this is even creeping me out" Eros whispered to me.
"Uh...Jay?" I snap him out of his thoughts.
He looked up at me with even wider eyes than I've seen in the past few days.
"Cordelia..." He whispered. I tried giving him a reassuring smile but even though I was alive...I still didn't feel anything. He ran up to me, his arms immediately wrapping around me.
"Where the hell have you been baby!" He snuggled into my neck. I awkwardly patted him on the back. He backed away, his hands holding my face as he leaned in but Eros stepped in to save me.
"Don't touch my queen" He grits out.
"Who the fuck are you?" Jay yells
"Jay! Eros! Don't fight!" I scream
I grab Eros's arm and dragged him out of the kitchen. Jay ran out of the kitchen to us once I grabbed the knob on the front door, ready to open it.
"Wait! Cor, I'm sorry! Please come back here, don't leave" He begged? He actually begged me? That's new...But his begging brought memories back to me...
