Isabelle's POV
"Are you okay?" I asked. I pushed us back a bit from the crowd."Don't openly flirt with other guys when I'm right next to you," he said."I wasn't flirting and for God's sake, we're holding hands. Nothing is more obvious than Travis and I being friends," I explained."Whatever," he replied. He took his hand from mine and folded his arms across his chest.I laughed.He asked, "What's so funny?""You're jealous. It's okay; I won't do anything anymore. Come on," I nudged him along and he took my hand again, leading us back with the crowd."Welcome back," Travis whispered."Thanks," I giggled.Once the teacher's lecture about the assignment was finished, we headed back to our seats. I received glares from a few popular girls while returning, but I shook it off.I asked, "So what do you want to do? Would you rather do a brochure or a visual aid?"Jason replied, "I'd like to do aBab terkait

Isabelle's POV The bell rang; I was saved yet again. Yes!Wait a minute! Did he just say I have a scythe symbol on my neck? What the hell? Did the grim reaper mark me? What does that even mean? Why?I ran through the halls, headed to the end by the Mr. Luis' classroom; I needed a mirror. I barged into the restroom and I can't say I'm surprised; it's the restroom that no one uses. I was thankful for that right now.I moved my windbreaker away and sure enough, there was a symbol of a scythe embedded on the side of my neck. I wanted to scream, but I didn't want to cause any interruptions. Ugh, what the hell! I grabbed a paper towel from the broken dispenser and dabbed it into a bit of water; I tried wholeheartedly to scrape the mark away with the paper towel. Of course, I knew it wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot. The only thing I accomplished was irritating the mark even further. I sighed and covered the mark again, disposi

Isabelle's POV"You should be!"And with that, I stomped off but not before I received a burning tap from Lucian.I spoke, "What? It's your locker, I get it. I was already moving.""Great. I'm starting to think you do this deliberately, darling," he said."You know, in all my years of living, you are by far the most egotistical, self-centered, asshole of a stalker, I've ever met. Go to hell, Lucian!"I was so angry that I didn't even bother to look around at the people staring at me or the bulged eyes that looked at me from behind; I was out of that school before I knew it and walking home furiously.What kind of friend is Jen? Why wouldn't she tell me? I knew she was on a break with Brad, but I didn't expect for her to take it that far; Brad must've done something to push her to get revenge and have sex with Jason. It's very wrong of me to think that way, but that's the only logical explanation as to why she'd do such a

Isabelle's POV My brain told me to scream, but my instincts said this person wasn't gonna harm me. If they intended on kidnapping me or something, then wouldn't they have covered my mouth?I spun around to see the boy from earlier displaying the biggest grin I've ever seen in my life."Dude, what are you doing?"He shrugged, "I'm just tryna help you out. You not from around here so you don't know this, but no one goes that way. You were running to your death, little lady.""I feel as if I'm older than you. I wouldn't have ran to my death if someone could've kindly told me how to get the hell away from here. Just do me a solid and I'll repay you later," I pleaded."My name is Lucky and you just got lucky. Let's go," he paused, "And don't ever come here again, ok? It ain't safe for lil school girls like you.""Very offensive, dude but okay," I agreed."Sorry not sorry," he said.He guided me, leading me to t

Isabelle's POV"My name is the only thing that keeps me going," he admitted."Way to darken the mood. I'm sorry to bring up bad memories for you. Tell me about Devil's Corner," I said."What about it? Didn't I tell you everything already?" He asked.I replied, "Tell me stories about what happen over there. How did that place get its name? Why were you on the corner? Who was going to be at my death?" He joked, "That's gonna be hard to answer while we're running full speed ahead. Can't this wait until we're at a good part of town?""As long as I get the full story, I'm satisfied." I said."I like you, little lady." He said."I know you do," I said. We ran nonstop for miles. I'd say about twenty minutes later, we came into view of city lights and a few cars. "Thank you so much, Lucky," I said."You're welcome, little lady. Now this is still the east side, but we're out of Devil's Corne

Isabelle's POV "You have to finish the story," I demanded."Why are you so interested?" He asked."Because I love a good story," I smiled."If you say so," he shrugged.We walked over to the park bench and took a seat.He began to tell the story again, "He walked over to Lucille and George and demanded they get up. After his demand, they stood up and another demon climbed through the portal and knelt once she exited the hole. She was dressed in leather all over and her horns weren't black like the other demon; instead, they were orange. The devil proceeded to stare at Lucille & George; they cowered in his presence and were tongue tied. They couldn't even utter a mere sound," he added, "I bet you can't tell me what happened next.""Did he kill them?" I asked "Nope.""Did he make them kneel and kiss his shoes?""Nuhuh.""Then tell me already!" I demanded."He smiled at them," he said."This is better t
The Devil’s Kryptonite 24. Apologies
Lucian's POV Gamora chimed in, "Please! Save Isabelle!""Alright," I screamed.I returned to the human realm and it was already dark. Through the plane, I could see she was being led away from Devil's Corner by a bider. She wasn't in any real danger anymore, but what was she doing here anyway? This had to be my father's doing. She could've seriously been hurt; they don't call it Devil's Corner for no reason. By the time I actually exited the plane I was traveling through, she was sitting on one of the swings in her neighborhood park. She didn't even notice that I was walking close to her.I stopped about three feet away; she seemed to be deep in thought as her curly, brown hair swayed slightly while she was staring at the ground below the foot of the swing.I walked to the adjacent swing and sat down; when my presence still went unnoticed by her, I decided to clear my throat to get her attention. She snapped out of her daze and look

Lucian's POV When she made it to the front door, her hand grazed the door knob. Just as I was about to turn and leave, she shouted, "Your story telling sucks! Goodnight!"How dare she!?Confident she'd hear me through the door, I shouted back, "Good night, Bella! See you tomorrow morning & don't forget to tell your parents about us!"I then ran away back to the park and swiftly delved behind the greenery, opening a plane to get back home. But in the midst of my travels, something told me to check on my local house. So I did as my instincts told me and went to my house. I found the door ajar and muddy prints leading inside; mud was a pet peeve of mine & I absolutely despised it. Whomever decided to break into my house had a whole 'nother level of fury coming for them.I exited my portal and slowly walked towards the late Georgian-early Victorian era house; it was rare to have a house still standing and originally built

Isabelle's POV Curse you, Lucian! I sighed as I locked the door and headed for the kitchen; I needed water right now."Nice of you to finally show up.""Ah! Don't do that, Dad! You scared me," I said while clutching my shirt tightly."Right. Who was the guy? I heard him shout your name," he said."What are you talking about? You must've been hearing things," I said."Was I? My hearing's great and I'm pretty sure that I heard him say you need to tell us about something. So go ahead, missy," my dad said."But before that, pleas explain why you're here so late on a school night! Young lady, it's almost midnight and you were brought back home by some strange boy! Tell me you didn't give away your innocence," my mom shrieked."Omg! No, I didn't. This is so embarrassing. I'll be an adult after a while and you two still treat me like I'm six. If I ever decide to have sex, mom, then I'll have sex. Quit being so uptight
