Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 - 11

Heaven told Gina where she was supposed to meet the silver-eyed stranger. Black rosewood.

Gina knew where it was, but she didn't like the idea of going there.

"Why did he tell you to meet him there? I heard that forest is eerie."

Heaven wanted to back down, but then she gathered her courage and decided to get it over with.

"Should we feel scared? I mean, we are what people fear."

Maybe people believed supernatural beings like ghosts or demons to dwell in the forest, but Heaven didn't believe in ghosts and she was a demon.

Gina shrugged. "Yeah. I guess we have nothing to be afraid of."

But once they arrived at the forest, Heaven could feel that something was definitely different about the place.

It was dark, the leaves from the many tall trees covered the sky like dark clouds. The air was cooler, making her flesh creep and her body squirm. She turned to Gina who was walking next to her with arms wrapped around her shoulders.

"Why is it so cold?" She asked.

"I don't like this." Heavens said. "Maybe we should go back."

Gina shook her head in denial, as expected. Her friend liked the scary and the dangerous.

"Since we are here, we might as well take a good look. What could be in here? Animals?"

No, not animals. But surely predators.

The silence was haunting. There was no sound or signs of life around them. Only the trifling noise of rustling branches and leaves and the howl of the wind.

Heaven and Gina scampered through the wispy trees, stumbling over stones and roots.

Suddenly Gina drew her sword. The scraping sound of sharp metal echoed in the silence.

"Did you hear that?" Gina whispered.

Heaven straightened her ears.

"Hear what?"

"You were right. We should go home. I don't think it's safe here. Not a romantic place to meet either." Gina said, looking around with hawk-like eyes.

Heaven knew her friend was right, but something far away, deep in the forest, was calling to her.

"Heaven, what are you doing?!" Gina hissed.

She was already walking into the forest without realizing. Gina came after her fast and grabbed her arm.

"We should really leave. I don't like this place."

"Gina, we are close." Heaven said without knowing what it meant.

"Close to what?" She was still looking around for any threat.

Close to him. He was here. Heaven knew from the way the icy wind gusted. Every time he was near, she felt cold.

Ignoring Gina's question, she continued further into the dark forest.

"You will get us in trouble." Gina muttered, following behind.

A smile curved Heaven's lips. She was usually the careful one. It was fun now that they switched roles.

As they continued further into the forest, it became colder and darker.

?Oh God," Gina shivered. "Do you think ghosts exist?"

"Are you asking me or God?"

"Are you being sarcastic right now?"

Heaven thought this was the perfect opportunity to scare her friend. Turning around, "maybe you can ask the ghosts themselves." She said nodding behind her.

Gina swung her sword behind her, just to cut through thin air.

A laugh escaped Heaven's lips.

"This is not fun!" Gina turned, looking angry.

"I am sorry. I have just never seen you so scared."

"I am not." She denied. "But... we should really go back. I don't feel good about him calling you here."

"Just a little further." Heaven returned to walk, but after a few steps she discovered a cave a few feet away.

"Gina." Heaven nodded toward the cave. "Look."

The cave's mouth was an impenetrable darkness covered with spider nets.

"I don't like this." Gina repeated, looking at the entrance. "We should go home."

Gina was usually not an easily scared person, but Heaven could resonate with her fear. There was something about this forest that indicated darkness and danger which erected fear in someone's heart.

But Heaven was too drawn to the darkness now that she couldn't back down. The further she got into the forest, the stronger the pull toward the darkness became.

Despite the force that drew her closer, Heaven took safety precautions. She withdrew her daggers from her pockets while strolling toward the cave.

"Heaven. Where are you going?!" Gina sounded annoyed.

"Let's take a look." Heaven said waving for Gina to follow.
