Jade’s words left her thinking, a plea wrapped in undeniable truth. Her expression, her body language, everything about her was so convincing, so sincere, that even Viviana found herself moved. She hesitated, then slowly nodded, the firmness in her eyes softening. “You could have convinced me with a good bottle of wine, Jade. Why go through all the trouble of explaining so much? Especially when you know I serve the Darklord?” Her tone was curious, demanding, as she tilted her head slightly, studying Jade.

Jade met her gaze evenly. “I’ve already answered that, Viviana. I’m your friend, and I want to save you from the pain of that loss. I want to help you before it’s too late.” Her voice was gentle, but the hidden message was clear. She wanted to protect Viviana, not just from the past but from the future as well.

Viviana fell silent, her eyes widening as she processed Jade’s words. The room seemed to hold its breath, the tension visible as everyone waited for her response.

Finally, Viv

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Encounter with The Darklord

    He spun around, and the moment his gaze met mine, it felt as though the world had narrowed to just the two of us. His smirk—so familiar yet disturbingly foreign—sent a chill down my spine.This was Evan’s face, but the man before me was nothing like the one I knew. His smirk was dark, predatory, a cruel twist of his lips that Evan had never worn.His brow seemed permanently furrowed, shadowing eyes that were now pools of inky black, reflecting a soul as dark as the abyss. His shoulders, broader than before, carried a new weight of power, and his stride was longer, more confident, and filled with a sinister pride.Behind him, Cerberus and Jeniece struggled to rise, their bodies wracked with the aftershocks of whatever dark energy had drained them. Jeniece managed to stand, though her head hung low in submission. "Master," she murmured, her voice trembling with exhaustion. Cerberus, however, shook his head as if trying to see through a fog, his movements sluggish and disoriented.Evan—o

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Ritual of The Undead

    Even from a distance, the sound of her voice was enough to make my heart twist painfully in my chest, as if some unseen force was trying to rip it out.It was a feeling of pure evil, something so vile that it threatened to consume me entirely.I forced myself to focus on the horrifying scene playing out before us. Evan’s body, once still and lifeless, began to rise from the pool, levitating in mid-air as if caught in the grip of some unseen hand.The dark waters stir beneath him, the light from the sky flickering wildly, failing to pierce the darkness that clung to the water like a shroud. The ritual was nearing its climax, and we were powerless to stop it.My heart began to slow, each beat a thunderous thud that echoed in my chest, getting louder with each passing second. It was as if the entire world could hear it, an intense drumbeat of fear and urgency.I fought against the invisible forces trying to hold me back, but my eyes remained fixed on Evan, his body suspended unnaturally

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   Back to The Present

    I took a deep breath, forcing my eyes shut, and then opening them once again as tears welled up, blurring my vision.I could still hear his voice, so close, so desperate. Every fiber of my being ached to go to him, but I had to trust in Viviana.I had to believe in the power of her spell. Slowly, I blinked my eyes, focusing on the blood as it began to move through the carved maze on the table.The crimson liquid flowed with purpose, filling every corner, every turn, as though it had a mind of its own.But Evan’s voice didn’t stop—it grew louder, more insistent, calling my name again and again. Each cry felt like a knife twisting in my chest, the agony of not being able to reach him nearly unbearable.My tears fell freely now, my heart shattering under the weight of his pleas. Yet, even as my world crumbled, I could see the blood making its way to the hourglass at the center of the table. Slowly, it began to fill, the red contrasting vibrantly against the dark wood.Viviana’s voice gre

    Jade attempted to begin the conversation back to our mission. "We came because we need your help with—"Viviana raised a hand, silencing her. "All in good time. First, let's enjoy the moment. Xavier, isn't this a wonderful Evening?"Xavier returned to Viviana's side, his hand once again finding its place on her hip. "Absolutely, darling," he said, his eyes twinkling with amusement.We were waiting for her to respond, but instead, what happened next left us in an even more awkward state.He clutched her underwear and pulled it down.Dominic spun around and gritted his teeth "I'm out of here!" He almost yelled but with a flick of her hand the door locked."You don't want to insult the greatest witch like that, just wait a moment, honey, and we'll get to the business!" She chuckled.Xavier quickly unbuckled his belt, and I, Jade, and Victoria began to look at each other.What happened after? We just heard moans and groans, uneasy laughter of Viviana, and her screaming "Faster!" In the en

  • Demon's Obsession - I'm Bound to Him   The Viviana we never knew

    In the morning, Jade used her spells to conjure suitable outfits for us, blending modern style with a touch of the macabre. She skillfully fashioned Victoria’s hair into an elegant updo reminiscent of an older era. Victoria wore a sea-green gown, its intricate lace and dark, shimmering accents giving it an elegant beauty. A matching sea-green hat with a delicate veil of netting fell over one eye, adding a mysterious allure to her appearance.Dominic wore a dark, elegantly tailored suit with subtle crimson embroidery along the cuffs and collar. The suit’s sleek design and his natural charm made him look like a figure from a gothic novel, ready to captivate any audience with his presence.When I emerged from behind the trees, I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at Jade. “Seriously? Titanic?” I remarked, noticing my gown was an exact replica of Rose’s dress from the ball scene.“I mean, they have to get their inspiration from somewhere!” Victoria shrugged with a playful grin.“Either ch

    “The spell trapped Lincoln here, and the spell will free him!” Jade declared, her voice ringing with authority. She raised her arms wide and chanted, “Et torta silva ardebit.” The air around the trees shimmered and glowed with a strange warmth, the ground beneath them reddened, as if the very ground beneath them was boiling with molten lava.Suddenly, the earth around the trees began to tremble and explode, sending chunks of dirt flying. Small sparks of lava ignited the dark, twisted branches, which quickly turned into towering flames, casting a terrifying light across the entire area.Lincoln cradled his son close to his chest, wrapping him protectively in a cloth as the flames illuminated his fearful but determined face.The flames devoured the branches like ravenous beasts. Sparkling cinders crawled down the remnants like tiny spiders. The branches burned fiercely, but they didn’t fall.Instead, they appeared weakened, as if all they needed was a final push. We seized the opportuni

    This time we were quieter than usual. The air in the cabin was thick with despair, a heavy silence that weighed on us all. Everyone seemed resigned to the idea that we might never escape this place. As I paced the length of the cabin, my thoughts raced."Can anyone please ask her to sit down?" Lincoln said, frustration evident in his tone as he stared at everyone."I'm sorry!" I said, finally sitting down in the corner. After a moment, I began, "I was just thinking… Jade is probably the oldest of us all. She must know what happened to this place! Because if there are other Lycans out there in our actual time, and Lincoln's story got out through Luna, then Lincoln must have escaped this place!" I looked at everyone as I continued, "And I realized we've forgotten about Luna. Where did she go? What did they do to her?" My eyebrows furrowed, my expression tense."Jade, tell us, how do we get out of here?" I looked at her with hope in my eyes.Jade sighed, looking disappointed. "Yes, it is

    Like every other day, we turned back disappointed, It was becoming more of a normality for us, trying and failing to escape.The only benefit of this time was my improvement in combat over time.That day, seeing the potential in my movements, the Sheriff proposed a new approach: parkour training. "Speed and agility are crucial for combat, Julia. Improving your balance will make you a better fighter."With Lincoln's brilliant skills, we spent days creating a parkour course using the natural obstacles around us. Fallen trees became balance beams, sturdy branches served as climbing holds, and rocks were used for jumping and skipping practice.Sheriff led the training, demonstrating various techniques. “You need to be quick and light on your feet. Use your surroundings to your advantage. Watch me.”He leaped gracefully from rock to rock, swung from branches, and vaulted over logs with an ease that left me both impressed and empowered to match his skill.My first attempts were clumsy.
