MATED TO THE DEVIL'S SON

Episode 11: Deja-vu

POV (ANASTASIA),

As I took every step they all had meanings, staring into Lucian's eyes I tried to focus, yes..... I'm leaving, Lucian dosen't even like me, I don't like him either, I don't know what I might face in his kingdom, it might be worse than right here, I'm not going with Lucian.

He had a dull faint smile on his face and I knew he was faking it, he looked amazing in his suit and I tried so hard not to fall for him, he looked handsome and at that moment I realized how handsome he was, more handsome than Louis, but I'm not going to fall for looks.

I'm sure Lucian wants to toy with my heart, there's no way he would be smiling at me for no reason, his smile......was enchanting and it was like Deja-vu.

Why I'm I falling for a man like him?, And at this very moment?, What is wrong with me?, Why do I feel like going with him?, Why does he keep smiling at me.

"Stop smiling you asshole!", I prayed silently, staring at the space between both of us it wouldn't take more than 10 steps, and I have to take them slowly.

This time, I'm nervous, I wasn't at the beginning........ But now....... right now........ like magic........ I'm nervous......and........ He's making it more harder by staring at me, I swallowed my saliva and paused, I stared at Lucian taking my time as I closed my eyes.

Fear gripped me, I thought it would be easy, I thought I would just walk down to him, but it preety much seemed like I was scared of taking a step.

"What is wrong with her?", "What is she doing?", "Is she okay?", "This is crazy, I don't have time for this!", "What is up with her?", "Is she being dramatic?", "Is she scared?", "I think she's about to pass out!!, Ha ha"!!!!!!.

I heard them, the murmurings were so vivid, like...................... I can hear them why won't they stop talking!!!!!!!, This is crazy!!!, "Can you please just Stop?!!!!!!!, Shut the f**k up!!!!!!!!!!!!", I cried in my mind and the murmmurings made me feel nauseous.

They just won't stop talking, I knew I was taking too much time but if only they would stop talking!!!!, "Mom please help me", I cried tears welled up in my eyes, "come on darling, mommy will take you there", I heard my mom's voice and I felt someone hold my hand.

"Let's go", I opened my eyes and turned to my side and there she was, my mother, holding my hand, "I'm scared mom", I said and she smiled, "close your eyes and open them, then they will all be gone", she said and I closed my eyes, I opened them slowly and like she said, they were all gone, it was just me, my mom.............and Lucian, why is he still here?, In my imagination and smiling?.

"Why is he still there mom?", I asked and she smiled, "let's go darling", she said and took her first step, I took a step and we both started walking, "1........ 2 ........ 3 ......... 4", I counted and we smiled all the way, "do you know why he never left?", My mother asked and I shaked my head, "it's because........ I will be gone, and he will always be there for you", she said and d

Faded away.

This time, I was already in front of Lucian, staring into his eyes, "groom do you take Anastasia Hills as your bride?", The priest said and Lucian smiled even though I don't know why he did, "yes.......I do", he said and kept smiling.

"Even in hard times do you swear that you will be there forever and ever ?", the priest asked and he fell silent, "of course not", he said and the whole hall went cacaphonus, did he just say that?, I don't care, we should hurry things up.

"I might not be there forever, cause I might die anytime soon, but........ I promise to protect you Anastasia Hills", he said and again, like Deja-vu, I fell for him again, what does he mean by dying anytime soon?, Does he perhaps have a chronic illness?.

"I promise to keep you alive, even if it costs me my life", he said and that was all he had to say, "bride...... Do you take Lucian Atticus as your groom?", The priest asked and I fell silent.

"The third rule of marriage ritual: never ever, I mean never lie"

What I'm I supposed to do?, It doesn't matter if I'm lying right?, "Yes......I do!", I said and the priest sighed, "Even in hard times, do you promise to be there forever?", The priest asked and it's my time to be cool, "no!", I said and the hall went crazy again.

"But...... I promise to be there when you need me, I promise to stand by you even if the world turns their backs on you........., i will be there, even if it's not forever, at least we will be together, and I Anastasia Hills, promise to be there for you, Lucian Atticus", I said and he smiled and hidden in this smile, is a thinking, "like..... She's such a good liar?, Think whatever you want to Lucian Atticus.

"You may kiss the bride", the priest said and this time, I'm not panicking, I closed my eyes immediately and waited, "sorry but.... I think I might have to skip that part, can we end it now?", Lucian said and I opened my eyes annoyingly, he took a step to go and turned swiftly kissing me on my forehead, he smiled and walked away.

"God bless you", the priest said and walked away, I sensed he was tired since he's preety old already.

I sighed and walked down the wedding altar, I felt as tired as f**k, what sort of wedding was that?, I've seen all sort of wedding and this is the wierdest.

"Are you excited?", I heard someone say and when I turned it was queen Medina, I didn't say anything and just stared, "are you trying to piss me off?, Or are you simply trying to disrespect me because you just got married?", She said and it was finally time to show her the boss.

"Maybe", I said and she frowned, "I see you have grown wings and you think you can go against me because of that?", She asked and I smiled, "I'm not going against you but if you think that's what I'm doing then so be it", I said trying hard not to be rude.

"How dare you little maggot!, Are you out of your mind?", She said and I had no energy to argue with her, "maggot?, If I'm a maggot then you think are a butterfly?, What a good definition for your self, maggot?.... Suits you", I said and turned walking away.

I bumped into Lucian and I just bowed slightly, "look who it is!, If it ain't my tiny bride!", He said and I frowned, "what!!!!!, Tiny?, Did you just call me tiny?", I asked and he completely ignored the question, "look forward to the long journey, get ready the car just arrived", Lucian said and I frowned walking away hastily rushing to my room.

Louis and princess Amelia were already inside my room when I went in, "are you ready?", Princess Amelia asked and I nodded, "we'll go first, Prince Louis said and I nodded as they both rushed out.
