When You Meet

It's been a few days since that incident with the Ouija Board and during that time was a little wary of your house becoming haunted, but thankfully nothing happened since that day you played with the Ouija Board.

Night comes around. You brush your hair while leaning against the black metal rails of your balcony, just watching the quiet, dim-lit neighborhood in front of you. The cool breeze sends a little shiver down your spine and gives you goosebumps. You enjoy coming out here during the summer nights and just looking around, watching the stars above. It's calm, just perfect to just to nothing. But you know you also have a long day of work tomorrow, so you head back inside and get ready for bed.

You lie down on your bed, cover yourself underneath the thick fluffy blankets and close your eyes. Your breathing soon becomes slow and deep, you eventually drift off to sleep.

But as soon fell asleep is when you open your eyes, but this time, you weren't in your room anymore. You found yourself laying in a different bed fitted with dark red satin sheets as well as the blanket is made of satin in the same color as the sheets. You sit up seeing how this isn't your bedroom either. The walls are a red wallpaper with rose designs, the bedframe's pitch black, the carpet is a softer shade of red. What caught your eye was the lit large black chandelier hanging in the center of the bedroom.

You get out of bed and see you're still in your PJ's. When you open the bedroom door, you see that you're no longer in the house. You think this is a dream, this has to be a dream. This entire scene reminds you of an enchanting medieval castle, the way it's designed. The hallway of stone walls, decorated with 7 foot standing black knights in armor along the hall, dark red short carpet, lit torches that give the hallway any form of light, and last, the large paintings hanging on the walls. Each one contains a painting of the same towering and massive demon with enormous black horns killing other demons and creatures.

Just why the hell are you dreaming about this? Most of your dream consists of something like puppies and beautiful landscapes, yeah you do get nightmares from time to time but never like this. You're debating if this is either a dream or a nightmare. You continue to walk down the hallway and after passing through so many black doors, there's two that catch your eye. These doors were together and in black and red wood, carved in rose designs all over.

You slowly and as quietly as you can open the door. Your senses are instantly hit with the smell of food, but when you peak your head inside to see, you see something or someone terrifying. From the paintings, it's the same massive red demon. His back is turned to you as he sees his own reflection in the black standing mirror. He's fucking huge, you want to say almost eight feet in height. With pride in his eyes, he is aware that he can't compare to any demon in this world. He knows he's the one who brought you here and he'll also be the one to capture your heart. But you don't know that, not yet at least.

Your heart sank to the floor as soon as his eyes met yours from the mirror and he turns around to you with a gentle smile.

???: Finally, you've awakened. Please come in, have a seat.(He riases his hand towards the empty seat as he takes a step forward)

This is a dream right? This has to be a dream, so you enter the room seeing a table filled with a variety of different foods and desserts to choose from. You speechless and still scared shitless as you head towards the dinner chair.

???: There's no need to fear me my dear. I would never harm such a beautiful human. Please, have a seat. I'd only like to chat with you is all.

He then walks over to the chair and proceeds to reach for it and he pulls it towards him for you to have some room before sitting down and he gently pushes the chair back up to the table. He walks over to the other side of the table and sits down across from you in a much larger chair than yours.

???: Feel free to grab whatever you like, it's all for you. As much as you want and if you desire more than more will be brought to you.

Y/n: Umm... T-Thank you...

The food looks delicious and you do feel a bit hungry. You reach for one of the bowls and pour some on the empty plate in front of you.

???: We have a lot of time, I'd like to know more about you. May I ask to know your name?

Y/n: I-It's Y/n. Y/n L/n.

???: Y/n (He says your name with glee) such a beautiful name, it matches the beauty of it's owner.

You start eating and instantly smile as a bomb of favors bursts in your mouth. You never had a feast that tastes so good and addicting as this.

???: I see you are enjoying the meal, I'm very glad. Oh, I forgot to tell you my name, mind my manners. I am Lord Darkness. (He smiles)

Y/n: (Your eyes widen as you look up) Lord Darkness?

Darkness: Yes, but feel free to call me Darkness if you like. Now tell me Y/n, you are also enjoying our date?

Y/n: O-Our date?

Darkness: Yes, our date. Where we can spend time together and enjoy each other's company.

Y/n: But I uh... I don't know you, aside from your name and... you only know my name.

Darkness: Well that's why I brought you here my dear, to know more about you.

The smile never leaves his face as he leans against to the table towards you, giving you his full attention.

Y/n: I ummm... I would feel more comfortable if we can... start off as friends.

Darkness: As friends? (He shows a confused expression)

Y/n: Y-Yea, that way we can know more about each other and spend time. A-And if we both feel the same feelings towards, like love, than it'll make me more comfortable. Love takes time and work, it's at least getting to know the person beforehand. That's from what I know at least.

Darkness: (He smiles) Hmm, what's your definition of love?

Y/n: M-My definition of love?

He nods his head as he patiently waits for your answer.

Y/n: W-Well to me, love is taking the time and effort to not only know the person but to also be in their lives. It's about being someone's shoulder to cry on, someone who you feel comfortable being yourself without feeling ashamed. It's about being their support even when things get rough and to still be by there side. Love is loving the person for their soul and not just their bodies. The kind of love that I want, is to feel safe and secure, to make my heart skip beats just by being around them. But also more importantly, I want the kind of love that lasts forever. Where it doesn't matter how many years have past, the love you have for that person never disappears. That's my definition of love.

Darkness: Then I understand, if you'd like to be friends first then I'll shall respect your wishes. And I'd like to take the time to know more about you Y/n.

Y/n: (You show a soft smile) Thanks.

You chat with him for a few minutes, talking about your day, where you work, you live alone. You might call yourself crazy but no longer fear this red demon anymore, he's been such a gentleman since you got here. And as much as you would like to continue talking to him, you know you have to get back to your world.

Y/n: The food was delicious Darkness, thanks for having me here.

Darkness: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I know you have to get back but before you go just know that I'll see you very soon.

You didn't even get to say anything since as soon as you were about to say something he snaps his fingers and you immediately sit back from your bed. You look around seeing how your back in your own bedroom, was it really just a dream?

But then you look over to your nightstand seeing a small red letter over your phone. You take the letter and it reads...

"I really enjoyed our time together Y/n. And as you said from before, I look forward to spending more time with you. I'll see you very soon."

Well, now you know it wasn't a dream and you have a big red demon for a friend. Instead of feeling weird or scared about it, you feel happy.
