When Darkness Fall

Dianna, or Dice as some would like to call me. Why you ask? simple, ever so often since I was 13 my body would shift to different wild life and it would be taxing to say I knew the end result of the hassle on my surroundings and my body afterwards. I was stuck with my pops after my mother disappeared when I was a babe so I have no recollection whatsoever of her, not that I care. I mean how could I when she left me to my demise with this despicable man called my father, Alcanan Malique Godorah he happened to marry a woman whom was just as terrible as he is with 2 nasty filthy mouth daughters who were on a trip to hell if not already knocking at their doors. Kalina and Malina act as though they come out the womb as one so often that you would have believed they really did come out at the same time. I guess the world wasn't lucky enough. Eventually I was blessed sweetly with an innocent younger half sibling named Patrina. I knew those hazel eyes of her would never betray me as a sister with her honey golden brown skin and lush red hair. Quite a rare site for those mixture in hair and eye color. Believe it or not I volunteered to nurture her until that faithful when my so called parents shipped me to this bastard of husband. I believed one day would show me an inkling of love especially after I was whisked away like that. Jerlald Hatchett. Evil oozed from his pores enough to make you barf, not just vomit, but seriously barf. yuck!. However, he was alluring and handsome and above all aura dominating for being known as the bottom of the top notorious Hateful Demonic Allegiance. I couldn't fathom, or rather actually allow it to click in my brain that I was to be his blushing beautiful bride until I was in his car. "Hell no I refuse to leave. You can not force me to be his slave when I already have a life of my own" I shouted at the man who was my father furiously. "You have no say in the matter. Pack your things immediately." Alcanan spoke with authority at that moment but I held that look of disgust on my face. Kalina or Malina spoke throwing gasoline on a forest fire, " she doesn't have to, I would love that hunk of man fo myself." I looked at them confused but I turned to father and that disgusting woman of a stepmother hoping they would change their mind to either of them. If it had not been for their personalities, they would be perfect brides for anyone. Aside from leaving Patrina in their clutches, I should have been more than willing to leave their side. I had large amounts of money stashed in several banks, not to mention quite a few accounts were connected with large investments for when I decide to take my trip around the world, I would not be forced to get a job while I'm out exploring. Little did I know at that time, my father had already figured out my stash because of my disloyal ex best friend Atenia Veroque. The tall alluring man, Jerald walked through the door as though he owned the place and spoke," I do not have all day, provide me with the bride I want or I will sear the very existence of this place to ashes without a trace of your bones. This is my last warning as my patience leave my very being!" No sooner, my head was hooked at the demanding voice after realizing that he requested me personally. I was dazed, even shocked that this man wanted my very existence near him. The looks on my sister's faces were priceless. I swear you could lift their fat lips off the ground with a spatula and still would need help from tongs to remove them. I must say, I would have retorted his comment had that Vile existence of my my best friend, Atenia Veroque, had not surprised me with her presence and slapped me cross my head forcing me to go unconscious, taking me deep within my dark depressed nature and allowing sleep to take me. ************************************* Jeralds POV I was undoubtedly shocked. The woman who was one time lover knocked out the young beauty that was my past present and future. I had only eased my presence into her world in order to get close to Dianna. I had finally found her once again after realizing that her soul resided in this frail body at my feet. Her blood was all over my clothes. If she were but a supernatural, she would be knocking at deaths door This selfish tramp, Atenia would have felt my wrath from striking my beloved if I were not needed at my castle within my territory here on earth. Witch, Galena summoned the portal, signaling something in my brain it was urgent. Since I could no longer delay my departure, I lifted my beloved off the ground, not before promising Patrina I would bring her back for a visit soon. I knew something within my beloved loved her but I could not leave her with those vile insolent people she still considered to be her family. I'm sure she felt us depart from the little one, because her energy within her body shifted around so much she transformed in to a beautiful snow white bear and cuddled me. I simply smiled, yes, Jerald smiled. As a demon you must believe we are incapable of showing emotions, but not me. Simple fact is I was once a normal human that walk the earth like normal. **************FLASHBACK 630 YEARS PRIOR****************** Once I came across a dazzling fruit of a woman named Dia and I instantly became putty between her fingers. I absolutely adored her. Soon afterwards I married her. Never once did I question our living in the mountains because I was intent on loving her no matter where she was wanting to sleep. She needed help one day. The kind i couldn't give her. Her body temperature was abnormal. She seemed to have grown scales all over her body. She seemed aroused and in pain everywhere I touched. one minute she seem fine and then as soon as she would rise up from the bed, her nose would bleed. This was beyond me. I was adept in locating herbs and how i administer them. But what was happening to her body bewildered me. I thought I would lose her. I ran down the mountain and began yelling at random people, "help me. please help. I need a doctor. any kind. my love, my wife she needs help and I don't know how to help her. please tell me where I can find a doctor.!!!!" I ran and ranted everywhere within the city at the foot of the moutain till I came across a ragged cloaked grandmother sitting below a stupor . She spoke just barely above a whisper," I know your troubles my dearest. Do not fret for I am able to help but for the small fee." The hag looked as though I was stupid and I probably was. "what could you possibly do to help my wife and what price shall I pay for your assistance hag!?" Grandmother hag clicked her tongue without shifting from my gaze," Dearest, that is no way to speak to the person who can ease your troubles and soothe your beloved." The hag made it sound so sweet like poetry coming from the devil with a nuisance however, I then retracted my statement, " I solemnly apologize , please I beg you, if you know how to help her, I implore your service for any price." Assuredly we left that spot swiftly. We dodged tree branches and trappers traps. Eased past wildlife chirping and distant voices. We strode up the steep side of the mountain until we came past the clearing to my hut where Dia laid peacefully and pale skinned . Breaking the silence, grandmother Hag spoke," I need lily water honey and drops of your blood. Move quickly or she will die soon" As I walked out the door gathering those items she needed, I couldn't help but wonder why my blood. What was needed for my blood in order for her to save my beloved. Quickly I gathered the materials and raced to the hut. Unexpectedly, the hag was speaking with my beloved, and I placed everything on the table. I couldn't contain my happiness. No scales, nosebleeds not even her fever. The hag rose and began mixing everything on the table with something she had in her sleeves. "Beloved Dia, you awake. how are you feeling. Want to eat or drink something?" I smiled brightly at her. "No, Joel, I'm fine. GG Hag there is making me better by being my company. We had a woman's talk while you were out. She is lovely and full of life." her weak demeanor was showing but not as intense. Afterwards, she laid back and began to close her eyes for a moment of peace when grandmother hag shifted my body to face her own. "Son do u know she is demon bred and her physical body is dying? Even if we take her Demonics from her body she will not live past a month. Normally as a demon she would live up to a century without aging, but the frailty of her human physique is abnormal. As a demon her soul would not be able to be reincarnated, but it is possible if we remove her Demonics and allow her to live an extra month at the most." "She never once mentioned it. I would ask questions but she would blow me off and tell me it wasn't worth remembering her past. I believed she was a slave because of all the deadly markings across her body. What can we do or rather what are we going to do to save her soul?" I spoke at a loss. In all honesty, I knew her body radiated power and never once spoke. I chalked it up to her thinking and believing I wouldn't accept her. Even as I loved her to the ends of the earth, I felt her insecurities as though they were second nature to my life. Anything I could or would say, always led me to display all the love and affection I had for her no matter what was going on in that pretty brown skinned head of hers. At this time of the legacy of our world, it was not uncommon nor unheard of for one to be blessed with Demonics nor as Supernatural let alone as a Celestial. Being a slave with these were not far fetched either as it was as normal as breathing with the world around us. Breaking my trails of thoughts, grandmother hag spoke, "I can see your dilemma written on your precious face. She was truly loved. That may be why she was able to survive this long. If your love for her is strong, Dia soul may yet survive. All you have to do is give her three drops of your blood and share this potion with her. Slowly over the next month her Demonics will transfer from her to you. once it is complete, her body will slowly die but her soul will wonder in Oblivion until an allotted time has passed before her soul return to Earth but you must not keep her real body here or she will never return." Only hearing parts of what she spoke, I cried profusely. my dearest beloved Dia was leaving me never to return at my side whether I saved her or not. Her body was frail. skin dried with scales and pale. Even though her fever subsided, you could feel her dehydrated lips and it sent me into a mental frenzy. But in respect to everything, I still didn't want her to suffer from her Demonics and did as instructed. Slowly the heat that her body once felt, had flooded my senses causing me to pass out completely. hours later I woke to her serene body standing near the table and she smiled sweetly. That was my end of my new beginnings. Everyday slowly I began feeling the weight that possessed her body and I became fluid and very understanding of why her body was dying. The flow of Demonics in my body hurt , unbearable even, excruciating. But I couldn't show it to her face. Her loving disposition would have faded. Dia. Right now I need to focus on her in the present. Currently she was squirming in my arms with her shape shifted into the snow white bear cub........ I smiled like some p*****t sniffing women's underwear. I couldn't spare pleasantries for any other spiteful event that occured after we walked into my gates as things would have it. The current events nearing the truth of what was happening in my surroundings and those vile creatures Dianna would dare speak of as family, she would be in danger. Soon I must investigate the happenings. Why did her mother disappear? What cause her father to marry that Vile imp of a stepmother? Other than the savings I knew of, where was the rest of my beloved money? and what possessed the bastard of a father to believed he deserved even a cent of her money? They best to pray to the Celestial beings for forgiveness for disrupting the peacefulness of Dianna life, because mercy has no place in grasp for their disgrace against her.
