This isn't your typical paranormal/fantasy demon based romance...
In this world there is a thin line between a God and a demon. In fact, Lucifer himself recruited seven former Greek Gods as his own Dominion. Each leading a Dominion over each of t...
A/N: Just a heads up/reminder. This will be the last official week I will be updating twice a week until I get the story finished on my side. Of course there will be rare random bonus chapters periodically however. So look forward to those. (If for some reason I get really far ahead I might go back to biweekly every once in awhile.)

It's official. I am definitely not a fan of being in the veil. And it's not just the dismal lack of color that has me feeling this way. No, there's also strange sounds in the distance that are continuously giving me the heebie jeebies. I also keep getting goosebumps up and down my arms, and I can definitely feel the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. As if to illustrate the point I made mentally I immediately hear an animalist snarl in the distance and the fear inducing sound almost has me stumbling. I am personally not a fan of outwardly showing any signs of weakness, especially fear, but at that moment I can't seem to help myself.
I don't notice Taehyung moving up beside me until he starts talking. His statements are meant to explain away the sound. Well sort of. "Don't worry. He won't hurt you."
"He?" I ask. Hoping for more information. Maybe there's a reason he knows so much about what, in my mind, can only be a predator in the distance. Crap. No. Don't think about the fact that it could be a predator because then I will start thinking of myself as his prey despite Taehyung's assurances that he won't hurt me.
Taehyung nods and cocks his head to the side for a moment. "He is just surveying us from a distance. He won't approach us though." I think because I mentally called him a predator that gave life to my own mental attachment of 'not yet' to Taehyung's statement.
Despite hating being in the veil it doesn't take us long at all to get to my apartment. For some reason, I'm surprised to find out that we can walk through walls while in the veil. Well surprised and distressed. The new knowledge makes me wonder if some monster of some kind had been eavesdropping on me my whole life from the veil. I somehow doubted it though. If they had I probably would have been taken in and introduced to this world a lot sooner than this.
Once we get inside my apartment Namjoon turns to me. "Now, we can't interact with anything physically while in the veil. So, I want to see if you can pull yourself out of it. This time though, imagine you are underwater and reaching to break the surface."
It's weird to admit, but it's honestly relieving to know that while I could be spied on by someone lurking in the veil, at least the person doing the spying couldn't mess with my stuff. I mean that's like Poltergeist levels of creepy where the other is simply stalker level creepy. Who the fuck I am I kidding? Both are crazy creepy, one just happens to be another level of creepy. Poltergeist level of creepy would totally have the e's represented in the word 'creepy' as wiggly squiggles. I then picture the Greek E for epsilon in my mind and the word creepy in all caps. CRΣΣPY. Yeah sort of like that, but...only...not. I mentally frown at myself. Wait. No. That's the symbol for S, Sigma. It would look like CRεεPY, which doesn't look as creepy at all. Well Poop...
