The world as we knew was collapsing before our eyes. Slowly without us being able to do anything to prevent it. Our free will was taken away from us. We became puppets, controlled by a higher power. All we wanted was to escape, to cut the threads th...
- Demons are fallen angels who sinned against God. They have the ability to take control of a physical body and completely control it. God managed to chain most of them in hell. But there are those who still roam the earth and make life miserable for us humans.
Today I remember her words. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes. In the bed I had made for myself and Beatrice, I curled up into a ball. Frightened with fear, just wanting to escape the words that had become truth.
A hand was placed over me in comfort. Sobbing, I sat up and looked at the person I had next to me. Her long hair that caressed over her shoulders and down her back. The fair skin against the white blanket that lay over her knees. Around her neck, bruises began to become more and more apparent. Without thinking I pulled her hair away exposing her neck. When I placed my fingertips against her bare skin, she flinched.
- Does it hurt? I said horrified and pulled my hand back. With a soft smile, she took my hand back and placed it over her cheek instead.
- It's fine.
At first I had felt despair at being left alone with Beatrice. Especially after what I witnessed. But at this point, the feeling of belonging with her came back. A question piqued my attention and I felt such a need to voice it. Otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.
- What is really going on between you and Robin? I said softly, withdrawing my hand.
- Isn't that obvious? ask Beatrice.
I ignored her gaze that burned into my side.
- We hate each other.
When the words landed on me, I didn't know how to handle them. What kind of game do they have between them? Was it really necessary in this situation we now found ourselves in?
- What is it? Beatrice said when I remained silent. An "nevermind" escaped me as I laid down with my back to her.
I had thought she would let it pass, but instead she laid down next to me. She discreetly come closer with her arm around my waist.

- It just seems..., I said with my face buried in the pillow. Like there's some sexual tension between the two of you.
When I said the words out loud I wanted to die of embarrassment. Beatrice's body didn't even react to my assumption, but just continued to hold me from behind.
- Are you jealous?
In that moment, I was thankful that she couldn't see my expression. Her breath on my neck made his body react in a pleasant way. I just knew I didn't want to compete for Beatrice's attention. That I wanted her for myself. I didnt want to be worry about her leaving my side for someone else. Now as I lay there with her arm around me, I never wanted it to go away.

I wanted to avoid Robin at all costs the next day. His behavior yesterday was unforgivable, I could bear a lot but resorting to violence instead of using words. It was unacceptable. I saw his figure walking in front of me. Especially not when a man goes after a woman. A person who is physically smaller, who has no chance to defend himself. My jaws were tightly clenched as I looked into the back of his blond head.
