Helena
They say love is blind.
But I wasn’t blind, I knew exactly who Lucius Hastings was; and still, I walked willingly with the man whom they call ‘The Devil’.
I was young, naïve, and arrogant enough to believe I could resist the temptation. I should have known better, should have known that once he had his sights set on me, there would be no way back.
My heart was doomed from the very moment he answered the door with a curse upon his lips.
But ultimately, my father brought me up to be a good girl, and good girls don���t end up with fallen angels.
And yet, deep down, I know I will always be his.
Lucius
She was a temptation I knew I shouldn’t give into.
Pure, innocent, and beautiful; all the qualities one craves when you are damned.
I was told from a young age that I was unworthy of a girl like Helena, and that to stay with her would mean dragging her to hell with me.
And so, I let her go.
I kept my distance, pretended she wasn’t out there living without me, contented by the knowledge that I at least got to have a taste of her. I let her marry someone more worthy so she could lead a happy life full of white picket fences, family BBQs, and children.
But only because, deep down, I know she will always be mine.
