Chapter Eight: Nightmare

Raven zeroed his eyes against him as he tried to fathom his next plan but he failed. Lucifer gaze went back to him and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't push yourself too forward Raven. Nobody can stop me from achieving my plans. I'm the Devil and the Devil I will always be. I have my plans with that littling" He smirked and Raven ached his eyebrows.

"Plans?" He asked and Lucifer walked closer to him

"The girl said that she wants to marry me. I think luck is on my side now. I will use her to accomplish my plans and after that I will compel her. The king thinks he his wise. I will use her daughter before her uses her. I will manipulate him on handling his daughter into my bloody hands." The stated proudly as he stared at his left palm swindling it back and forth.

"And then you would marry her?" He asked in disbelief. He knew this guy as a guy that never had regard of marriage.

"Yes.....for formalities. I will gladly marry her and kill her" Love can be full of hatred. Lucifer itch the back of his hair with his head turned downward looking at the floor.

"What about you later fall in love with her?" Raven teased but he got a piercing looking towards him. The air became chilled as he knew that his teasing has passed his limit. A loud dubious echoing laugh echoed inside the chamber and Raven shivered. The King Lucifer laughed like this? This is first time.

"I was doubtful if should laugh but I ought to because why you said was actually funny" He chuckled loudly and Raven eyes squinted.

"Love? Have you ever seen me in love? I only sleep with women out of lust when I gat to feel my sexual desire and out of fun. It's funny tho. How can I love my enemy? I only need her..." He trailed off as he looked at the startled and confused Raven who kept staring at him.

" Raven.....you won't understand. I'm an ancient who hasn't love a demon since my existence and you except me to love an enemy who is here to destroy me. It's really unthinkable!"He said.

" I know you can't love but the Priestess said I should warn you because instead of you to tempt someone, you can be tempted yourself" He warned with a serious tone.

"Haha....I can't believe this matter is this serious. None of you have met the girl once but I've met her twice and I can sense how foolish and naive she can be even if she possess some strange power. Don't bother yourself too much friend!" He patted his back as he laid on his bed. Raven rolled his eyes over.

"Bye" He simply said as he approached the door. A sigh escaped Lucifer's mouth.

"I'm visiting you tonight "Angelica". His voice sounded nice and romantic as he pronounced her name but to him it sounded irritating and disgusting.

Angelica laid on her bed as she used the blankets to cover her body. Her thoughts were in coarse. and she sighed continuously not knowing what to do. Her birthday was in two days time but no one was going to attend. Her father never took that day special except her mother. Angelica really hated her life, she felt like a prisoner in her own home. She hated her life. She wanted to be dead but ever since she met Nicholas, she had little hope. She knew that she could still meet more people who isn't scared of her existence. Even if it was only him that isn't scared of her, she would do her best to make him mine. To make him love her and to live the rest of her life with someone she loves and with someone that doesn't care about her mysteries. Angelica kept on thinking as she suddenly dozed off.

(The king's room)

•••••••••••

"Why don't you want Angelica to get married to Nicholas?" She anxiously asked Gerald her husband.

"Because he is not the man for her" He sternly said as he laid on his bed.

"What's with you Gerald? Can't you just grant her, her desire. She wants him, can't you just approve her. The man isn't afraid of her that's why she want him. Do you want her to live under our hostage forever? Let her be free for once....please" She begged on behalf of her daughter.

"Aren't you supposed to be on my side. The Goriah's will kill her and take her life." He blurted out as he sat on the bed.

"Kill her for what? Stop giving excuses.....they won't hurt my child. They will get to love her once they find out that she is a loving person" She knitted her brows. Gerald pressed his lips together as he thought for words to say.

"They will surely kill her. i seeked for power when I became king and I promised them to give my first child in return if they made me powerful. I wanted to kidnap her immediately you give birth to her but that day was dangerous. The rain destroyed many things and the Priestess warned me that She is a powerful creature and she is a benefit for her land. She is a great being which can help us gain respect and can even make me powerful. That's why I had a second thought of giving her to that Gorians. I decided to keep her here and forbid her from meeting her and favor came to my side because people hated her dearly. The Goriah's "King Nicholas" is angry because I couldn't fulfill my promise, he has waited patiently for good 16 years and now he his back to take something valuable from my life. He wants either you or Angelica but I can't loose Angelica. She is the key to my problems and they only one who can help me get rid of the Goriah's. He is the Devil!" He explained and a slap went across his face.

"You are a very greedy man. You are a bastard. What kind of a King, father and husband are you? You are a very Wicked and Stupid man. What about me? They can kidnap me because I'm not useful for you. You are keeping Angelica in hostage because of your selfish plan? What about the suitors? You only used it for a talking sake when none of them came that day. You only mentioned about the suitors so that we could think you care for our daughter. You are very Wicked and you deserve to be punished. You insolent man!" She ranged in anger and in disgust.

"You and the Priestess tricked me saying she has an important mission in this life and I've spent my years with her, letting her live like a stranger, prohibiting her from meeting people because of the stupid mission you both lied about. Why? Huh? Why?" She bursted out.

"I have my reason Pamela" He started with his palm still on his face.

"What reason? Angelica loves you so much and is this how you will return her love for you? She gritted her teeth in anger.

"I love her but I also need power. She is my daughter and without the both of us....I mean..you and I sleeping together, she wouldn't be in this earth. He who see things, knows what I've been praying for and that's why he blessed us with Angelica. Nicholas, claims to be the Devil and if truly he is, we can give our daughter to him and that's why I'm never gonna allow her to marry such man." He spatted. Pamela laughed in pain as she began to cry profusely.

"Nicholas, what are you doing here?" Angelica asked as she noticed that she's being tied up.

Was this a nightmare? But it feels do real?

Why was she tied ands why is this man here?
