BOUND WITH THE DEVIL 5.whisper of the dark

5.whisper of the dark

{Serenya Room – Night}

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(thinking): Why… why does my heart race every time he looks at me? He’s dangerous. He’s not even human. And yet—

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(appears at the window, smirking) Couldn’t sleep, little flame?

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(jumps) V-Vaelith?! Do you ever knock!?

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(teasing) Why should I? This world is mine to walk. Your room, your thoughts… even your blush.

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(face burns) I-I am not blushing!

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(leans closer, voice low) Oh? Then why can I hear your heart beating so fast?

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(shoves him back) Y-you’re impossible!

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(laughs softly) And yet… you don’t really want me to leave, do you?

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(freezes, confused by her own silence) …

[Elsewhere – In the Shadows]

Kael' Vareth ( VILLAIN)

(watching through a veil of smoke) Interesting… The flame flickers, the devil bends. How fragile hearts are, how easily they tangle.

Threads of Chaos: (whispering) Bind them… twist them… make love their undoing.

Kael' Vareth ( VILLAIN)

(smiles darkly) Yes… soon. I will weave their fate into my design.

[Back to Serenya & Vaelith]

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(turns away, hugging herself) Why are you doing this to me?

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(voice surprisingly soft) Because… you amuse me. And maybe… you remind me of something I thought I’d lost.

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(eyes widen, whispers) …What?

vaelith (ML, The devil)

(smirks again, pulling away) Nothing you need to know… yet. Sleep, little flame. Tomorrow, I’ll tease you more.

Serenya (FL, mere human)

(muttering as he vanishes) Infuriating… but… why does it hurt when he leaves?
