Heaven woke up with headache and chest pain. Her heart was beating too slow, that it was painful to breathe. Carefully, she pushed herself up in a sitting position. More candles were lit, illuminating the room. The scent of freshly baked bread replaced the musty smell from earlier. Heaven's stomach growled loudly, and her gaze hunted the scent. Far in a corner, food was served on a clean table. Was it for her? She didn't care. Removing the blanket, she swung her legs down off the bed and then…

The first thing Heaven saw when she opened her eyes was the dark ceiling and the broken, dusty chandelier that hung from it. It was covered with spider webs, as if it hadn't been used for ages. Heaven sat up slowly; her movements causing the bed to make a creaking sound. Her eyes searched the dimly lit room she was in. It looked gloomy and uninviting. The furniture was old and dusty, and looked as if it would collapse anytime soon. Mold ate away at the damp freckled walls and floor, and she could hear…

"Your Majesty, the people are still asking for the princesse's wedding day. We need to give them a date soon before they cause a rebellion." One general spoke. Lucian looked around the table. All the others in the meeting seemed to agree. "They will have a date once I give a date." Lucian said calmly. He could see disappointed looks around the table, but he didn't care. This was a matter of his daughter's happiness, and if it needed to take time, so be it. "You are dismissed." He said standing…

Heaven told Gina where she was supposed to meet the silver-eyed stranger. Black rosewood. Gina knew where it was, but she didn't like the idea of going there. "Why did he tell you to meet him there? I heard that forest is eerie." Heaven wanted to back down, but then she gathered her courage and decided to get it over with. "Should we feel scared? I mean, we are what people fear." Maybe people believed supernatural beings like ghosts or demons to dwell in the forest, but Heaven didn't believe…

Heavens grandmother gave her a necklace with a magic spell that would keep demons away from her. Despite that, the silver-eyed stranger visited her once again. Just as he promised. If the spell didn't work, then maybe he wasn't a demon. But… what else could he be? She would guess a witch, had she not seen him at the party. As a witch, he would not risk coming to a party full of demons. One thing Heaven was sure of. He was not human. He was far more sinister. The way he crawled into her bed…

Heaven woke up feeling cold despite being wrapped in her thick, heavy blanket. But it wasn't the weather that was cold. It was him. Every time he came, the room would turn cold. Or maybe it wasn't the room but her body that froze. Sitting up, her eyes searched for him in the darkness, but she couldn't find him. Yet she knew he was there. Gripping her blanket, she held it tightly against her body, as if it would protect her. "Hell0?" Her voice trembled.?"Are you there?" Slowly he emerged from…

Zarin introduced Heaven to his friend Lozan, a man who according to him knew almost every demon. "You need to be more specific." Lozan inquired when Zarin explained that he was looking for old male demons. "There are many old male demons." Zarin turned to Heaven. "Anything specific you would like?" Heaven felt as if she was ordering a meal or buying clothes. "Someone kind." She said. That made both Zarin and Lozan laugh out loud. "Your friend is funny." Lozan told Zarin. Zarin tried to…

Heaven was surprised to find Gina in her room once she was back from her trip with her father. Zarin must have told her about the marriage thing. Heaven hoped that this wouldn't change anything in their friendship. Gina was reading a book while waiting, as usual. She probably didn't even realize that Heaven had arrived. "Hello," Heaven called, throwing herself on the bed next to her friend. "Oh," Gina looked up from her book. "You are here." She smiled, putting the book aside. "Where were you?"…
-
Suddenly the world around her disappeared and the only thing she could see was the mysterious stranger sitting alone at the dark corner. Unaware, she stood up from her seat and started to walk toward him. It was as if he was calling to her, pulling her toward him with an unknown force. Heaven didn't resist. She wanted to see him and to know him, but she couldn't ignore the part of her that was terrified. He didn't seem to have good intentions. What if he was an enemy and wanted to cause her harm? What…
-
At night Heaven waited for Zarin in her room. She had asked Gina to send him to her, but she hadn't told her why. Heaven wondered how Zarin would react. She knew he wouldn't like the idea, and he would probably not agree to help her. While waiting nervously she prepared her speech in her head, but then slowly she became afraid. Would this ruin her friendship with Zarin? She didn't want to lose him. And where was he, by the way? What was taking him so long? She was getting impatient and tired. Just…
