Santa Claus Sleigh

"Huh, now how have you concluded that Alex likes Bella, I only saw him glaring at the girl?" said Mike with furrowed brows.

Anna giggled, her eyes were twinkling when she replied, "Do you think brother Alex would just bring a girl home to share a room with him? And last night when Bella wasn't feeling well, haven't you noticed how tense he was. His care was clearly shown in his action."

Mike scratched his chin pondering over what Anna had said and replied, "if you think that he already likes her, then why do you need my help?"

"Because they both are slow and dumb, it would take years to them to realise their liking towards each other. So we have to play cupid here," she replied with a sigh.

Mike looked back in the direction where Alex went and nodded, "if you are right, then I will help in providing good opportunities to them. Then it's up to them whether they fall in love or not?"

Anna squealed and jumped in excitement, "thank you, brother Mike, you are the best." she replied, hugging Mike in excitement.

"Hey kid, Alex is my brother too, and it's high time that he also finds his happiness," he said ruffling Anna's hairs.

Anna just nodded her head and rubbed her hands in excitement, " mission love begin"

On the other side

"Isn't the house warm and cosy, you must be enjoying your time here," said the mother elf in a mischievous tone with a chuckle.

Bella tilted her head and looked around, she agreed with the lady, she was enjoying her stay here among the humans.

" I am enjoying it here," Bella said, nodding her head.

Evelyn laughed at the honesty of the young demon, how could she easily accept it? Wasn't she afraid that I would take advantage of her weakness?

"But you shouldn't be here demon, this is not your world" replied Evelyn, all the laughter and mischievousness of her eyes gone and her voice turned serious.

"I want to be here," Bella replied without caring about the consequences.

"Don't forget who you are, demon, you belong to hell," said Evelyn, boring her gaze on her face.

Bella instead of avoiding looked straight back into mother elf eyes and replied, "this is the place where I belong now, I am now Bella."

They continued staring at each other releasing their aura. No one was ready to cower, after what felt like an eternity. Evelyn opened her mouth to speak further, but before she could say anything, the door opened and Anna came in.

"Hey, why are you taking so much time just showing a room, hurry up. We are getting late for shopping," she asked and dragged both of them holding one of their hands.

Both narrowed their eyes on each other with hostility, but Anna turned to look at them, both gave her a sweet smile.

Anna smiled back and then took them out with her where both men were already waiting.

Mike slid his hand on Evelyn's waist which she accepted with an awkward laugh.

While the rest three of them followed them, locking the door.

"So where are we going?" asked Evelyn coming out of the lift with them, she had finally spent enough time on hypnotising Mike again to not touch her for the meantime, it took her more than ten minutes as she had to do it stealthily, she might get caught if she would have done it blatantly.

But she knew that the demon had noticed it, but she didn't care because telling her about it would either prove the demon mad or she would open her secret too.

And it's not like she would have come here and faked to be the girlfriend of this man if the demon wouldn't have been here.

"Well we will go to a jeweller shop first then we will buy some clothes I guess," replied Mike with a dotting smile.

"Why a jeweller shop?" asked Anna tilting her head.

"Uh, we had to change the gold first, Bella is paying her rent in gold form," replied Alex scratching the back of her neck.

Anna furrowed her brows but nodded her head, letting her brother decide.

They went out and were about to move towards the bus stand when Evelyn stopped them.

"Hey guys, I have a car, so we can travel in it, no need to go for the bus," she said pointing her hands toward the parking lot.

Alex and Anna looked at Mike with a surprised look, though he often changed girlfriends, they mostly belonged to their class or just higher, not the rich types. They still nodded her head and followed Evelyn.

She took them to a convertible red car, with the latest model. It had a small green plant as decoration and a small bell.

"Wow, this car is so awesome Evelyn, and with Christmas style decoration it is giving the one-horse Santa sleigh type look.'' Anna joked before giggling and hopping in.

Evelyn smiled mischievously and replied, "I must say you are very smart Anna, you have sharp eyes too."

Everyone laughed thinking that both girls were joking but Bella just narrowed her eyes, as she knew it was a sleigh. Mother elf had changed its form with her magic.

But if she thought that she could force her to go back to hell, then she was wrong. She would never go back.

Mike and Evelyn settled at the front seats, while Anna, Bella and Alex sat at the back.

When the car started they all jerked back, despite wearing the seat belts they felt the sudden push as Evelyn was driving in a very high speed from the start, except Bella and Evelyn all were feeling jerk with the speed that was continuously increasing.
