Chained to the prince of darkness by Lunasads (digital book reader .txt) 📕

"It was too late to work things up. Their hatred for each other grew as years passed, making them cut each other's throats the very chance they get. Their love gets replaced by a hunger for power, jealousy, ego....hatred."

I listened to the words wobbling out of her mouth carefully, assessing every word. I suddenly felt sorry for their loss. She looked past my shoulder, at the painting, and continued.

"Lucifer become emotionless, more dangerous than he already was, more powerful. He became the true definition of a hybrid; a merciless being. But unlike Lucifer, my brother never switched off his emotions,"

Was that supposed to make things better! Her brother tried to rape me, he tried to hurt my dignity. My soul was already tainted by Lucifer's darkness and I had little less light left inside me. 

"Draven....was a good brother, in fact, awesome but after Melissa's death he broke down completely. He didn't know how to react, unlike Lucifer." Her death wasn't his fault. Monster or not, no one deserved to feel the feeling of loneliness. 

"How did she die?" I mumbled calmly but the turmoil of emotions was creating chaos inside me.

She looked at me as she sniffed the air. Her expression changed into one of neutral.

"Maybe some other time." She said and before I could blink, the door of the room got slammed against the wall.

"VICTORIA!" Draven growled loudly as he stepped inside the room. The hairs on my body stood erect. The look on his face looked murderous and satanic. 

I glance at Victoria through the corner of my eyes as I tried to back away from his line of vision. This man is irrational.

"I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!" He shouted at her but the bored look on her face was making him more furious.

"You found out." She breathed out.

Found what? 

That was the first time I saw his expressions change from rage to normal to sympathy in a few seconds.

"You should've told me, Vicki." He sounded hurt. And the look in his eyes was something I was familiar with.... betrayal.

"What's left to tell?" I didn't know why but something was off about Victoria. Whenever I thought I'm getting to know her, the more mysterious she gets. 

I had no idea what they were talking about but whatever it was, it sounded rather private.

"You are my sister! I deserved to know!" He snarled at her. His expressions again turned into one of anger. He punched on the sidewall and all the paintings on that wall shook with the impact. 

I don't want to know what would happen if the wall would get replaced with my face soon.

"Yes, exactly! You deserve to know with whom your sister has been sleeping with, right?!" She snarled back. The look on Draven's face was void. 

"I deserve to know whose child my sister has been carrying!" 

Carrying what?!

"You don't care!"

"I do! But you...." He pointed his finger at her. "...you don't understand me...you can never understand me...." He whispered broken. His voice almost shattered at the end. I didn't want to hear about their family issues but this was heartbreaking.

And most importantly Victoria was pregnant?!

"Drave-" Before she could call him, he walked away. Her sorrows flowers through her eyes as she collapsed on the couch. This was bad beyond imagination. My heart skipped a beat looking at her broken face.

"Victoria are you oka-"

"No!" She cried and that's when my humanity decided to kick in. Without further due, I engulfed her in my arms. I was well familiar with feelings of helplessness and loneliness. Somewhere deep down I saw myself in her. Trying to put a hard face but a soft heart inside.

"It's okay. Let it out." I whispered as I let her cry on my shoulder. Crying help, it heals your mind, it lessens the burden that your heart had been carrying for eternity. 
She wrapped her arms around me and cried on my shoulder. She needed someone at this time. I knew how it felt to cry alone, having no one around. It stings to know that you are alone and that the feeling of loneliness is something no one wanted to feel.

"I ruined it!" She sobbed while shedding her emotions. I rubbed her back soothingly as I tried to calm her down.

"I destroyed the sibling bond!" she cared. She cared too much that it hurts her. She loved her brother and he loved her too but the way of showing is different.

"You didn't," I assured her. No brother could hate his sister no matter what she had done.

"I was supposed to be responsible for my actions but...I...I became selfish...I become self eccentric. I gave into my desires!" It's okay to think about yourself. Loving yourself isn't selfish. Everyone deserved self-love. Getting pregnant was never on her wish list but whatever happens, it happens for a reason. Maybe God has something blissful planned for her. 

"Don't say that! You deserve happiness Victoria. Souls-like yours deserve all the mind-blowing memories; beautiful yet memorable." My words seemed to calm her senses as I felt her stop shaking. She sat there in my arms as I rubbed her back affectionately.

"Okay! So let's get to the point, who's the father of the cutest kid resting peacefully in your womb?" I pulled away and wiggled my brows, trying to look funny. And I succeeded as she laughed. This was my motive; taking her mind off depressing memories. 

"He..." She laughed loudly as she rubbed her flat belly. The softness and love in her eyes described how much she loved the father of her child. 

Okay now! I was pissed at Draven! He should have listened to what she had to offer!

"Oh come on! Don't be shy,” I lightly punched her shoulder as she smiled looking up at me. Her eyes shined brightly but as soon as light can either disappeared.
