The Scar guy

They both ride on the same horse; Arya is sitting at the front while Michelle sits behind her, holding onto the horse's rope and urging him to race faster. 

After a long ride, the horse finally halted on the path that led to the palace, but suddenly he started misbehaving, acting scared and uncomfortably. The horse raised his two legs to push Michelle and Arya off his back, but Michelle held on to the rope more tightly to control him, but the horse was already out of control as he kept jumping around with the two ladies on his back.

"Aunt! What is wrong with this horse? Why is he misbehaving like this?" Arya shrieked out in fear.

"I don't know either. Maybe he saw a snake or something dangerous," Michelle said she was still trying so hard to get the horse under control but to no avail.

"Aunt, we need to find a way to get off of this horse before it hurts us. It's becoming more violent." Arya cried out.

After so many struggles to stop the horse, finally, it was able to be put under control. But the moment Arya and Michelle successfully got down from its back, the horse hurriedly raced away in fear, leaving the ladies behind.

The sun was slowly going down, and darkness was fast approaching. "We're stranded now," Arya whined like a child, placing her right hand on her forehead, suddenly regretting why she agreed to this madness in the first place. And instead of rebuking her silly ideas, she went ahead and accepted them. Now see where it has landed her. 

"Can you stop having those silly thoughts and let me think of a way out?" Michelle scolded her calmly.

Arya furrowed her eyebrow and asked, "How do you know that I was in my thoughts?" She questioned.

"Of course, judging from your facial expressions," Michelle said, rolling her eyes afterward.

"I'm going back home. I'm having bad feelings." Arya, turn around and start heading back.

*****INSIDE THE SACRED ROOM*****

Four hefty young men stood around the long table, which was covered with a black cloth. They'll stand tall and look handsome. Their nose was as long as a well-sharpened pencil, while their face was spotlessly clean and flawless. Their eyes were so red, like those of a vampire, and their long fangs escaped their well-curved, pouty red lips. 

Zeppelin, Devon, Selinas, and Lucifer are the most powerful and highest-ranked demons from hell, and they're also called THE SINNER. They're always sent down from hell to earth for a mission because of how powerful and dominant they are.

Zeppelin is the oldest demon among the four, and he has lived for over ten thousand years. He is as calm as an area, and he never grows old or wrinkles; rather, his flawless skin glows glittering under the blue dim light. He has a well-built body, and his thin, long hair flares freely down to his waistline. Zeppelin is 6.5 feet tall, his red eye only changes when he's emotional, and he prefers animal blood to human because he has a soft spot for humans, which is why the other demons always call him WEAKLY.

Devon is the second-oldest demon among the four, and he has lived for over eight thousand years. He is the most naughty, and he derives pleasure from feeding on his victim after sex. He is jovial and talkative. There is never a dull moment with him because he always flirts with almost everyone. Devon is around 6.3 feet tall, and his facial beauty is not to be compared.

Selina is the third-oldest demon. He is also known as the gay demon because he shows an interest in males and finds them more attractive than females. He has lived for over six thousand years. Devon and Selina act the same because they look alike but were born to different mothers. Their characters are almost identical to each other, but Salinas acts and talks freely when he's around the three demons, while Devon interacts with every soul. and he is 6.3 feet tall.

Lucifer is the youngest, and he is different from them all. He is the only one with a dark complexion and the ugliest. His face was covered with deep old and fresh scars. He is the fiercest and cruelest demon that has ever existed. He respects his privacy more than anything because he is an introverted person, not because he is shy or scared of people, but because he knows who he is and what he is capable of doing. His hatred for humans knew no bounds because he tagged them as weak and couldn't fight for themselves but only depended on others. and he's 6.6 feet tall.

Their gloomy scent filled the entire room. The four young demons were all silent for a while. 

"I can sense Zilla, getting closer." Zeppelin slowly whispered, while the rest nodded their heads except Lucifer, who kept tapping his feet angrily on the floor.

"I can sense her too, but at the same time, it's fading away. I think she's human," Salinas added as he uttered the last part in dismay.

"Stop!" Michelle screamed, which made Arya halt her step. "You think I'm doing these for me?" Do you think I'm risking all this for me? And you think you're doing me a favor by following me here?" She flared up and said, "I'm doing all this for you. I want you to experience what the outside world looks like, but I think you are having bad thoughts about me." 

Arya let out a loud sigh and strode closer to her, saying, "I'm not having any bad thoughts about you because I trust you with my own life and you can never hurt me. But I'm having these unpleasant feelings in me that...

"I'm with you, and nothing would go wrong. Trust me." Michelle interrupted her by holding her hands.

"But...."

"No buts. Let's go; the palace is not far from here. It's just a mile away, and we can go there on foot," Michelle said with a smile as she managed to convince Arya to follow her.

****INSIDE THE SACRED ROOM****

"She is getting closer." Selinas snapped quickly the moment he sensed her getting closer after her scent seemed to be fading away.

"Finally! That bitch decided to show herself after so much stress for years." Devon sneered as his lips made way for his tongue to gently lick his lower lips.

All this while, Lucifer was silent but boiling with rage. Her scent alone was messing with his mind, urging his demon to come out desperately, but he was trying as much as possible to calm himself down, all to no avail. He let out a loud groan.

"Luci, why is the bad guy restless?" Selinas jokingly teased, but the hard glare he got from Lucifer made him zip up his mouth immediately.

"She is here. Right here with us," Zeppelin whispered again, inhaling her scent again with his eyes tightly shut.

"How do we know she's the one? I mean, everyone who attended this party is a human, just like her." Selinas pointed out his confusion.

Zeppelin smiled.  "She has a crystal necklace around her neck." He clarified.

After the long walk, the two ladies finally arrived at the palace where the party was being held. They saw more people climbing down from their horses, while some were in haste to rush inside.

Michelle let out a relieved smile: "Look at how delighted everyone is." She whispered into Arya's ear, "Let's go inside."

Arya nodded her head in response and followed suit; suddenly, Edris' dream flashed through her mind, and with a hint of gripping her immediately, she held onto Machelle's hand and prevented her from going any further.

"Arya, please don't start again; I beg you. "Let's enjoy the party." Michelle whinnied in frustration.

Arya nodded before letting go of her hands and urging her to go ahead while she followed from behind. 

They finally got into the huge hall, where she saw an enormous crowd, and her mouth went agape at how massive the hall looked. Everyone was wearing glittering outfits just to look great for the party, and everywhere was beautifully decorated as well. Everyone was sitting at the round table, sipping their glass of wine.

"Wait here; let me go and greet some friends." Michelle suddenly whispered in Arya's ear, but immediately Arya shrieked and held her by the hands.

"You can't leave me here; I know no one," Arya said, as her eyes kept wandering around.

"All rise for the King." The royal guards announced in a loud voice.

Every soul in the building stood to their feet. Suddenly the door swung open, and the four demons walked in with emotionless facial expressions, while everybody bowed as they walked in fully, except Arya.

Arya furrows her eyebrows. In confusion over who they referred to as 'King'.

  __But he is not the king. At least I have seen his portrait before. This man is not the King__ she thought. 

"Michelle, who....."    She turned around just then and noticed that Michelle was no longer by her side anymore. Her eyes wandered around in search of Michelle but to no avail.

 __Where would she have gone to__ she wondered. 

She looked at all the guests and thought maybe someone would speak up about the importer, but she was stunned to see everyone sipping their flask of wine joyfully, and they all held a cheerful expression on their faces as if they were under a spell not to recognize the importer of a king. 

"You all are welcome!" 

Arya suddenly heard the voice that sank into her soul and sent butterflies down her stomach. Her lips unintentionally stretch into a smile as she raises her gaze toward the direction of the voice.

But shockingly, her smile instantly disappeared, and she squeezed her face in disgust when her gaze first landed on Lucifer's face. 

__What a scar!__ She thought aloud and quickly averted her gaze from him in fear. 

After some seconds, she attempted to glance back at him again, but then she saw him glaring at her instead. She could feel the flame of hatred and contempt in his dark eyes, which made her quickly turn around. Just then, she bumped into Peggy, her stepsister.

And the glass of red wine Peggy was holding slipped and fell to the ground and was broken into pieces. Some wine splashed on her red dress, and immediately she flared up to lash out at the unfortunate person.

"Are you blind or...?" She trails off of words and was dumbfounded to see Arya standing in front of her.
