Chapter 70: Third and final wish
Dylan's POV:
The ray of light was beaming through the small window. I can feel the warmth of the sun and slowly open up my eyes. My body was sore and stiff when I tried to move. My head is heavy, and my vision is fuzzy trying to see where exactly am I.
"Dylan, you are finally awake."
I heard a familiar voice and when my vision started to get clear, it is confirmed that it was no other than Freya who is standing in front of me and looking down at me.
"Where am I?" I asked her feeling confused and disoriented. "Where is everybody?" I force myself to stand and sat on the bed. "Where is Aria?"
I look around me trying to find a familiar face. I realized that we were back in the fortress of Silent Willow forest.
"Dylan, you need to stay calm. You have sustained severe injuries in your body, and you need to get more rest," Freya tries to change the

The Devil's Kiss Prologue
Did you ever wish that you had a simple, normal life? I lost my parents when I was born. I didn't know why or how and I never got the chance to meet them. I was raised by my grandmother, and she isolates me from the world. I was only twelve when I was forced to leave home and run away to the unknown."Keep moving," he commanded me."I can't," I said in a perpetually tired voice. "I'm too tired and weak," I complained to him.I tried so hard to keep up with him, but he is too fast and I am too frail. We'd been running in the wilderness for hours, and I no longer had the strength to move on until my foot tripped on a rock and twisted my ankle. I instantly fell to the ground, panting and catching my breath."Get up, we need to hurry and get going," he worriedly said to me. He looks very intense while looking around to check if we are being followed."I don't even know why we have to run or whom we are running from," I mumbled while trying to get up on the ground.It was cold and everythi
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 1: Chasing Death
Every morning when I wake up, I look outside my window and look at the park. The feeling of excitement and thrill fills my heart every time the children run after each other and laugh out loud with joy. Adults walk around, greet each other politely and couples sit comfortably on the benches while cuddling. This has become my daily routine before I get up to bed. Then, I saw him again."Who are you?" I softly whispered. This is the third time I saw him standing underneath the cherry blossom tree that is situated outside my window.Even though he is far away from where I am, I can feel his eyes staring at me. He is wearing a dark suit. His skin is as white as the snow, dark messy hair, and a slender physique. Although he seems creepy, I can't sense any harm from him.I went back to bed and tuck myself inside the blanket. I planned to sleep all day and hope to get a good dream this time. When your reality sucks sometimes we rather sleep and dream to escape the painful truth of life."Goo
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 2: The Wish
"Where are we?" I asked curiously."This is my place. Do you like the design? I manage it myself," he said, boasting again.I looked around and it was all pitch black. I couldn't see anything and even if I walked around there was nothing but darkness. The only thing that was visible to my naked eye was the mysterious man. He has this glow in him that I have never seen nor felt before.My grandma used to tell me when a person is weak or near death, he can see the spirits of the dead like they are inviting him to go with them to the afterlife. I've been weak and sick my whole life, and I'm used to seeing dead people. Some wanted my attention and tried to communicate with me, but I ignored them.To be honest, it scares me to death to see spirits walking and lurking around along with the living. A lot of them were grieving and asking for help and sometimes their appearance was unpleasant and scary. I can easily tell the living from the dead by the light that illuminates their bodies. Each
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 3: Her cure is His addiction
"Aria, what happened?" Clarren said worriedly, scanning my body and looking for injuries. "Everybody has been looking for you. Who is that man?" His hands were cold and shaking. His eyes were red as if he had just finished crying."I'm okay. Sorry if I make you worry," I sheepishly replied. Guilt feelings are taking over me. Seeing everybody worried makes me feel that my life does matter to them and I just take it all for granted by selling my soul to the Djinn in exchange for a kiss. How foolish I have been thinking that I am doing them a favor by ending my life and yet I just make things worse and more complicated."What happened? I saw you with that man and vanished in thin air?" his tremulous voice caused everyone in the canteen to turn their heads on us. "Please, tell me who is that man and where did he take you?""It's a long story Clarren," I calmly said."You've been gone for thirty minutes! How long could that story be?" he hysterically said. "What did he do to you? Are you h
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 4: Blessing or curse
Dylan's POV:In an isolated valley named Mudgrave, there's a crossroad where it is said to be a meeting place for those who wanted to see the one they called "The Crossroad Demon" a cool name for someone who can grant wishes, and in return, he must be rewarded with an equal value of the wishes, an eye for an eye, a soul for a soul, and a payment worth the value of their precious wishes.To summon this so-called Crossroad Demon, you need to bury a box containing some graveyard dirt, the bone from a black cat, and a drop of the wish maker's blood in the middle of a crossroad during the new moon. The demon will appear according to the liking of the wish maker to prevent him from being afraid and make him more comfortable while making his wish. Once the deal has been sealed, the wisher's soul will be traded for a wish.It's been a long time since the crossroad demon has been summoned. As time goes by, the crossroad demon became a myth and his name has changed to Djinn, Genie, or Soul coll
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 5: First Date
Aria's POV:My mind is saying no but my heart didn't think twice when he asked me to take his hand to go with him to an unknown place. I know it's wrong to go with a stranger but why do I have a feeling that I've known him for so long? He may be dangerous but why do I feel safe when I'm with him? He's not even that charming, I mean he is not that good-looking compared to other men, but why can't I say no to him?Is he using some kind of spell on me to lure me into his lair? It's a bit scary and yet exciting at the same time and almost electric, impossible to ignore. Like that inexplicable feeling of compelling pull between two magnets, we are drawn together in a way neither of us may understand. I am somehow bound to him.I held onto his hands and the next thing I knew is that we were somewhere out far from the medical center where I am admitted."D-Dylan, where are we?" I curiously said to him while looking around and searching for a familiar face. "Are we still in Crescent Hill Vall
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 6: Destined to be cursed
Aria’s POV:I tried my best to act normal and ignore the weird things that is happening around us. I don’t want to ruin everything that Dylan worked hard for. He put his best effort to make this date work even if I am just a human and he is a powerful demon. This is my only chance to go out away from the hospital and I want to make the best out of it.We go to the Crescent River where everybody gathers to release hundreds of floating lanterns onto the river. "These floating lanterns are meant to guide the spirits back to their world," Dylan carefully explains.As much as I wanted to continue our date, some things can be ignored, so I decided to be honest with him."D-Dylan, can we skip this part of the tour?" My voice was thick with fear.Dylan noticed that I was starting to feel uncomfortable when he saw that I was freezing in terror. My hands were sweaty and clammy. My eyes were gazing at the floor and were too frightened to lift my head. He cupped my face and lifted a little and sa
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 7: Her strength is his weakness
Aria's POV:"Dylan, no!"That was the last thing I said before I realized that I was back in the hospital room. I was down on my knees on the floor, and my eyes were filled with tears. My heart was uneasy pounding too fast and about to jump out of my chest. I'm certain that Dylan is unconscious almost gone before I returned to my room. Is it because his energy becomes weak and used his last strain of power to transport me back here? Even my clothes were back to normal as if everything was just a dream.I don't understand what's going on and how his power works but I know that he is in pain and badly hurt. I wiped my tears dry, get on my knees and look outside the window hoping to see him, but he is nowhere in sight."Dylan, where are you? Please be safe," I whispered. The tears once again fall from my eyes.I was startled when the door opened then Clarren shows up in a hurry and panting."Aria, I heard you screaming. Are you hurt?" he panicky said to me while scanning every inch of my
