Luc-ifer

"You didn't tell her?" Aphrodite accused slyly. Her voice filled with worry and disappointment.

I was oblivious to what was happening around me. I could only make out one thing, wedding. They said something about weddings, and I barely had any idea about where this conversation was going, not that I cared anyways but still I needed to take precautions just in case.

Placing the spoon down, trying to collect their words, I gave them a weird look. My appetite was gone, hearing the word wedding. I suddenly was not feeling good about this. It was just like my intuition was screaming at me that something was going to be wrong.

"Huh? They don't need to wed to disburse the rest of their lives together. It isn't like she's going anywhere soon." Angelina quipped, her tone was one of mockery as she gave a shrugged look.

My heart skipped a beat as Lucifer slammed his fist on the table making everyone flinch. I jumped as my wide eyes glanced at him.

"See? You just scared the poor little girl."

Me? Was she talking about me?

Aphrodite's words make everyone turn towards me. I had a confession to make, I barely like any sort of attention and when everyone stared at me, I suddenly felt self-conscious. I lowered my eyes and started playing with food, pushing the carrots and peas on one side as I arranged the cauliflowet on other side.

"So, Sarah, right?" Aphrodite asked taking a full bite of pancakes and looked at me.

I looked towards her, taking in her features, she was certainly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Her beauty felt next level, she could make you fall in love with her, with just one look. Something was utterly different about her, like...like..her eyes, her way of looking, her hairs, everything's different about her. But her beauty couldn't make me talk to her. I just didn't like the idea that I was being held captive under some freaking beings and being a woman, she was not helping me.

I stared at her, not answering her. Her eyes sparkled like there were glitters in them, a dark shade of blue but when they sparkled, they turn into light blue. But, sparkling eyes didn't startle me. Her orbs were calm like an ocean but held so many deep secrets. Looking in her eyes suddenly felt so relaxing, so calming, but at the same time very focused. How I wish I could look into her eyes for eternity. I was heedless of my surroundings, not caring if I was sitting between inhumane creatures. 

"Yes," words slipped my tongue like they had a mind of their own. But I didn't cared, answering her questions suddenly become my crucial priority.

"How old are you Sarah?" Her words rang in my ears. 

"Twenty-one," she nodded her head in acknowledgment, she didn't said anything for some time but then she smirked, I wasn't able to figure out what was going on in her head. Glancing over my shoulder, her lips stretched and she asked.

"Okay, so, do you love someone?" 

" Yes,"

"And who's that lucky man?" She chuckled before wiggling her brows playfully.

"Math—"

"Stop playing with her head, Aphrodite." 

I jolted awake like I was sleeping.

W-what?

What just happened?

My eyes shot open as I blinked, one time, two times, three times. I looked up to find Aphrodite smiling at me, a cynical smile. S-she was doing it. She was doing something to me like she was controlling my mind, she was making me answer her questions.

It was like, she was—

Controlling me.

Hypnotizing me.

I gulped down. She was hypnotizing me, she was playing with my mind. What were they, one thing was for sure, they were not human, they were far worse. The truth itself was startling and terrifying. They were something else, they could change their eyes color, they could play with your heads, and they could —kill you, without any remorse. This thought alone caused my heartbeat to fasten. 

"Come on, no need to spoil the fun,"

"Anyways, So Falcon, when are you planning to take over Zenith?" 

"Not soon, Mother." 

What the hell?

Mother!

This lady over here was his Mother? Then that certainly meant that Angelina was her daughter and Lucifer her son. But then why Lucifer was addressing her by the name? Why not mother? This was so confusing. Maybe, he was her step-son and they were his step-siblings. But that didn't make sense since Lucifer shared the same electrifying blue orbs of hers and dark as night hairs. Whereas Falcon shared features with Angelina. Sandy blonde hair and pale green eyes. 

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't hear Aphrodite talking, she was talking to Lucifer, who was not paying any mind to her.

"I'm so fed up by this behavior of yours. It has been years now. What's stopping you?" She complained, her brows were narrowed, she was completely disappointed at Falcon. What could I say, I was disappointed in him too.

Staying here, with these monsters was making my nerves on edge. I didn't know what other things they could do, and nor do I want to know. I just wanted to go from here, to the room or whatever but away from them. 

Every single one was busy eating their breakfast. The sound of a spoon scraping the plate could be heard. As far, I only know a few people present here. Aphrodite, Angelina, Falcon, and Lucifer. Silver-haired man and women were quiet the whole time and so was blondie and Alexa. 

"Come to my office, we need to talk," Lucifer ordered, making Aphrodite nod her head. Lucifer glanced at me, making my heart rate faster. I gulped down and averted my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a tug and almost screamed as Lucifer yanked my chair towards him. My eyes widened with fear. His eyes scanned my face, taking in every feature of my face. My hands started shaking involuntarily.
