Betrothed to the devil

"Ahh" Aurora groaned as she chopped the wood into a dozen pieces. She hated chopping wood. It was tedious work and it was hard for her to concentrate properly, even when all she had on her mind was that damn song she couldn't get out of her head. The song that her grandfather taught her recently She grumbled some more under her breath as she tossed another chunk into the fireplace. As soon as she got the logs arranged, she went to grab a bucket of water from the well outside the house. She could just use cold water as opposed to burning the log pile. She was sure if she kept heating it, she would get too warm to finish with the fire. It took her ten minutes and about six gallons of water to start making a good stew out of the log. Her grandmother always taught her to make sure they were fresh vegetables, meat, and whatever other stuff she needed in the stew., Aurora wasn't the best cook She had inherited most of it from her mother, who died when she was young. So now she tried t

"Fine, but you owe me" He smiled reaching out for her hand "Owe my foot" She muttered under her breath stretching out her hand, the blood almost filled the room but Aurora's hand was long enough to reach his She felt him wrap her fingers in a tight grip And then there was nothing His body suddenly went limp, he couldn't feel his nerves, and he felt dizzy for a second... Aurora observed that and held his scarf tight, but unfortunately loosened it, revealing his face... Aurora froze as they both stared at each other... She didn't know who he was, but Ryan's face appeared in the view She didn't know who he was, but she could recognize his face.....and his eyes... That one look of confusion turned into complete shock. "Your eyes" She whispered trying to figure out why he had noticeable red eyes and how his iris seemed so pale and lifeless. It was like looking into a mirror ..a reflection of what someone had once been....... Immediately, Ryan pulled her away from hims

Aurora woke up to her horror staring bluntly at her ceiling, she couldn't believe it... After everything she did to convince her grandmother to let her leave the house and now she is moving away, from all those things she built for herself and all those memories that she loved with all her heart... And what's worse - She has no idea where she will end up, she's never been outside of this city before so who knows where she'll end up in a place like that but if she were lucky maybe there' would be something she could do to make her life worth living again Aurora sighed and reached over to see the clock on her wall, it was 4 AM and her body was screaming at her to go back to sleep, but she couldn't find it in herself to close her eyes again when she already knew what she had to do today She got out of bed as quietly as she could and slipped into her slippers and grabbed her keys and headed towards her grandmother's room to take a look inside, she slowly opened the door to see her grand

"If only I could crush all you nitwits with my hands" Ryan sighed as a gust of wind blew through his hair. He stood up at his balcony, staring at every single people of the town with disgust.."You all made my life miserable, I'll do so by returning the favor" he said looking up into the sky and smiling a littlethe world looked brighter when he smiles. That's why Ryan doesn't smile that much. His lips are always slightly curved downwards, but not a lot."Ryan?"Ryan's thoughts was interrupted by a deep voice, he turned and saw his guard Lucas standing behind him"Lucas...you fucking bitch, I thought I made myself clear that I'm gonna murder you if you come back"Ryan said in a low voice like he wasn't actually serious. Lucas looked at Ryan with sad eyes"Yeah," Lucas said softly as he walked up to Ryan and put his hand on Ryan's shoulder "But you wouldn't really kill me...""You fucker! you know damn well I can't"His low voice responded and smiled"At least you got the girl"Luc

It's the day Ryan and Aurora get married to each other, and that’s all anyone’s talking about. Well, everyone besides Aurora. She doesn’t really have much to say about anything anymore. She just finally accepted her fate, there is nothing else she can do anyway but to get married to Ryan.The thought makes her feel slightly disgusted by herself for even having thoughts like that, but it doesn't make her stop thinking them because of it. She's been trying so hard not to think about him, especially lately. It's hard to not think about the fact that Ryan could make her life miserable. If only she has feelings for him also it's would have made her mood better but she can't fall in love with a person who threatened her grandparents, kidnapped her unconsciously and almost murdered her more than once. But still… it might help if she had emotions for someone, or even if she was in love. Even just the thought that they may get along well together makes Aurora want to puke in the toilet. But
