The Devils Mate

The Taking.

I jolted upright in bed, breathing heavily. I clutched my chest, my heart was beating so hard it felt like I just ran across the damn continent. I sighed and fell back on my bed then memories of my dream came back to me. The dream was so vivid, so real. I shook off the thought and went into my ensuite to quickly shower before school and before Belial lectures me on my lack of concept of time. After washing as fast as I could I stepped out of the shower and ran into my room and put on my uniform. I threw open the door just as Belial went to knock and remind me of the time, his eyes widened exponentially upon looking at me.

"My queen." He said while kneeling and crossing a closed fist over his heart.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

Now it was my turn to be surprised; it wasn't a dream. I sprinted to my washroom to look in the mirror, my eyes widening at the sight I was greeted with, huge Sigils covering my neck and chest. My mating mark.
