ELLA :
“Ah…”I woke up and my dream ended which means my connection with Ethan ended too. I felt hurt and sad but I can’t be weak at this moment at all. I need strength, I need power, I need determination.
What Ethan had told me to do, that needs a lot of courage. I don’t know If I will be able to complete it or not.
I looked at Oliver’s worried face and then touched his shoulder, assuring that I am back and not still in some kind of illusional dream. When my hand touched his shoulder, finally I breathed a sigh of relief.
“What happened to you?”Oliver asked anxiously.
“Nothing. I am fine now.”I assured him and then stood up with his help.
“What are we going to do now?”Oliver asked.
“I need petrol, do you have any idea if you had kept some petrol cans before the devil captured you here?”I asked Oliver, and he paused thinking for a while.
“Yeah, there were two cans, I stocked it because the petrol station is a little far from here, so just in need if we get stuck sometimes,” Oliver replied and I sighed in satisfaction.
“Great, can you get them for me?”I asked and he nodded his head.
“Ok, now listen, I will go and try to keep the devil busy with me while you, you would go and find me the cans. Don’t step in the house until I ask you.”I told him strictly and he nodded his head.
Although he is older than me at this moment I clearly seemed to be much older than him. These few days have made me grow up a lot, I guess.
I walked forward while Oliver followed me behind closely, we climbed the stairs quietly and I peeked through the door looking for any clue that proves the existence of the devil, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Still, I couldn’t take a risk as I gestured to Oliver to stay down and stepped out of the basement. The grass was slightly wet indicating that it had been raining outside while I was unconscious in the basement.
The petrichor smell in the air had always relaxed me but today it didn’t, I looked around the garden and everything was still the same the way it was yesterday night when I had fought with the devil and discovered my powers.
I walked to the center of the garden and then taking a deep breath, I yelled loudly, “Hey devil, I am here, come over, show yourself.”Just as I finished speaking, I started counting in my heart.

BOOM
And there he appeared in front of me, I wasn’t shocked because I had expected this from him. I stood firm, staring into his eyes coldly. He has turned into Oliver again.
He stood in front of me and sneered loudly, “Wow… You seem to become quite talented now, huh, I wasn’t able to find you at all.”
“But still I am here, in front of you.”I told him and he suspiciously narrowed his eyes on me and exhaled, “Why?”
“Because…”I paused looking at him with nervousness and then I fell on my knees making him stunned at his spot. “I have really fallen in love with you and I know what I did before was wrong. I am really sorry, please forgive me.”I begged and then looked at him with teary eyes. He looked shocked but unmoved by my words, I held his hand and then said in a hoarse voice, “If you want, you can punish me. I am ready to get any punishment from you.”
I held his hand tightly and lowered my gaze. I was nervous and anxious, I didn’t know if he would believe me or not, I knew there was no point in fighting or bickering with him. He is a devil and the whole world surrenders in front of him so who am I?
It would be better If I surrendered to him and lowered myself as a pitiful and helpless woman in front of him. He always wanted to submit, so here I am giving him my submission, allowing him to do whatever he wants to me.
He held my chin and my breath got hitched, he then pulled my face up so that his eyes were piercing right straight into my eyes. “Do you really want my forgiveness?”
I nodded my head, “Any punishment?”He asked and again I nodded my head obediently.
“Think about it, Ella. This could get really worse. You have no idea what I can do to you.”He said in a dark voice and I shrank under his gaze but still, I nodded my head firmly.
“Marry me then,” The devil said and I felt stunned. Marriage as a punishment? I blinked, confused, staring at his face but he looked damn serious about it.
My throat was dry and with utter difficulty, I was able to say only one word. “Okay,”
The devil’s eyes lit up when I said it and before I could think or do something he consumed my mouth, F**k, I wasn’t really up for it but I couldn’t push him either.
He sucked my lips until it got numb and then very gently slid his tongue inside, I was disgusted by myself because I had been very dirty but the way he was devouring my mouth, it didn’t show any hint of disgust at all.
The dryness in my throat started fading when he skillfully inserted his tongue into my parted lips and started devouring my mouth, I felt overwhelmed by his passion and intensity as I subconsciously pulled him to me, we both fell together on the grass but he didn’t break the kiss and continued it as we rolled on the ground.
The devil seemed to be happy and over-excited by my surrender and the way he started touching my body over the clothes, I wasn’t able to resist the temptation coming from his hands.
I was deeply aroused by his actions but then suddenly I remembered about Oliver as I tried to pull myself away from him, hesitantly.
The devil didn’t seem to notice my hesitation as he touched my forehead and laid over me, sighing with a bright shine in his eyes, “You have no idea how long I had been waiting for you to surrender to me. Trust me, Ella. Things will get better for us. I won’t let anyone harm you ever.”His words carried the heaviness of a promise that was firm and strong.
I knew he would protect me from everyone but what about me? What I am planning and going to do with him, would it be worth betraying him?
I was again getting confused with my heart and brain. My brain is telling me to do what Ethan told me but my heart simply has another plan for it.
“Let’s go inside the home,” The devil whispered, and in a blink, I was in the air flying embraced protectively in his arms.
I turned my head and gestured to Oliver to get out, he nodded his head and then got out from the basement. I sighed in the devil’s arms, the guilt and grief consuming my heart bit by bit and making it as heavy as a rock.
