Lucifer

Did I Say Something Wrong?

THE CHURCH bell chimed indicating that it was 12 o'clock. People gathered at that white building, mostly children.

Near the crowd could be heard was a run-down house where I rented a room. It was small and the only furniture around was the small brown cupboard filled with a few clothes and every little things I had.

The single mattres was water proof with the only blanket I owned. Laying comfortably there wasn't me but the stranger I picked up.

Shouldn't I bring him to the hospital? I tended his wounds which surprisingly was not as bad as I thought.

"Ngh..." soft groans broke me off my trance. His eyes fluttered open after blinking for a few times and I watched those long eyelashes moved up and down.

He sniffed and frowned. All of sudden he sat up so quickly making me wince to see his bandaged body. Didn't it hurt? I pondered.

The silence was broken by his deep husky voice which I believed impossible for a human. Humans didn't growl like he did. I realized he just said something in other languange I didn't understand.

"What?" I raised my eyebrows as my eyes widened in curiousity.

".. Where am I?"

"This town is called Vanettea." he stared at me but I felt that it wasn't because of my answer. He didn't seem to hear it as his cold stare burned through me.

I took his silence as a chance to take in his appearence. He was huge, maybe 7" or more. He was perfect in every single spot. Even when his thick eyebrows created a frown glaring at me.

He was amazingly attractive. Far more than those guys from before. Light grey eyes, silver hair and thin crimson lips. They somehow matched with his tan skin ripping tightly with muscles.

All in all, I would never believe such perfect existence like him actually existed in this world.

"What are you staring at?"

I blinked yet not surprised. "I'm staring at your body because I think they're perfect. What are you staring at?"

The man wore a smug expression and scoffed. "I'm not staring."

"You were. But you don't have to admit it if you're shy."

His frown deepened and amusement glistened in his eyes. "What's your name, human?"

What now? I wan't used to give my name justblike that to a total stranger. "Casper." I said not letting myself pause too long. It was not a lie. It was my nickname but still my name. "And you?"

He paused. "Lucifer." if I wasn't dreaming his voice turned darker when he said that. He didn't say anything but watched me closely like a hawk. I found myself feel funny at the fact that he fitted that name.

We were quiet again but this time I sensed something from him. Like he was waiting for my reaction. For what reason, I didn't know but what could I say?

"Is there something wrong?" it's a general question about his silence, his wounds.. his deathly eyes glaring openly at me.

"What are you thinking?"

"About?"

"Don't you feel something about me?"

I shook my head. "If it's about your name, no I don't feel anything."

"My name?" his tone had no offense, just astonishment. "What about my name?" I blinked.

"Ngg I thought you're asking.. Sorry. I just thought that your name isn't weird, it's just.. uncommon." then I added quickly. "But you don't need to feel bad about it! It's something that your parents gave you and I'm sure they gave it out of love." now I was just blabbering nonsense. Names were one of the sensitive matters for me.

His brows raised and all of sudden he laughed out loud. The sound was inhuman that I thought he was roaring out of anger. I jumped from fear and backed myself toward the wall while he stood up. He was towering me even when I was standing.

"Interesting." he chuckled darkly before I came to my shock. "You are a very interesting human. Any last word?"

"W- what?" oh god I picked up a psycopath!! I screamed internally.

"Good choice. It suited you, little lamb." his chuckles vibrated through the whole room. "Goodbye." he snapped his finger.

Silence.

He looked very confused and reached out his hand making me jump back against the wall. When nothing happened he raised his eyes to meet mine and I shuddered, my stomach churned.

They had turned white, filled with burning fire. So much anger and hate they were spitting that I was shaking with fear and fell to my butt as the result of my weakened legs.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" I flinched so hard from the virulence he emitted and raised my hands to cover my ears.

His big hands grabbed me and he shook me so hard. "What the fuck did you do to me?! What did they tell you to do?!!" his words were laced with my cries as he shook my body. I was terrified that my tongue wasn't capable to move.

What did I do wrong? Is he mad because I said something wrong? Who- I was suddenly thrown at the mattress, the fabric stiffled my screams.

Before I could separate my face from it an inch he grabbed a fist of my hair and slammed my face down back. I thrashed around but to no avail when I felt a painfully heavy weight crushed my back.

"Whatever you all are planning to do, none of it will work." he growled in my ear. "I will win. And you'll lose."

"You will be the first to die but no worries, your friends will join you so soon." he spat at the word. I wanted to scream but it was already so difficult for me only to breath. The mattress was wet with my tears and I could only see my death at the end of all this.

"But first," he grinned maliciously.

"I'll have a taste."

Sorry for long update, next chapter has been released but I made it private so you can message me if you're curious (or not :p)

I will try to update once a week. But if I suddenly disappear without new chapter for months.. that means writer block got me and it will take a long time for me to recover from that.

Enjoy your day!
