The White Room

Anna woke up in the morning feeling as good as new. The bed was so soft she could just stay in it all day. She stretched her body while her bones gave funny sounds. She didn't even know she was smiling. What she also didn't know was that Juverl was staring at her.

"What is the matter? Your gaze is very creepy" Anna gaped at him

"You talk in your sleep? He simply answered

"You should get used to it" She got up from the bed and went downstairs "I did not realize that we slept on a shelf"

"It is not entirely shelf like" He said behind her

"When did you get behind me?" She jumped slightly away from him.

"Did I not tell you what I am?" Juverl began to close in while Anna moved back until her back hit the wall. "A demon. I can appear anywhere. In your dreams, nightmare, visions, anywhere you can think of"

Before Anna could even think about thinking, Juverl has already trapped her against the wall with his body. The tall figure had to look down a little before he could see her.

"What are you trying to do?" Anna turned her gaze away from him

"I did not say that I will not do wicked things to you I just said not last night. What do you think I am trying to do?" Juverl said with a smirk on his face. He had a devil–like character

"You cannot do this. It is morning. I guarantee you that someone will knock on that door now and I will have to go and open the door him or her" Anna said being so sure of her self

"And I guarantee you that I will send him or her away". With that Juverl leaned in and tried to kiss her, but a knock on the door paused his action

"I am coming please. Let me go now".Anna tried to break free from him but he wouldn't let go

"Who is it?" Juverl asked

"It is Yasmine, your sister. I need to have a few words with your wife please" Yasmine said from the other side of the door

"We are busy. Come back later"

"I have to speak with her now"

"I said COME BACK LATER" Juverl growled at her

"Okay" Yasmine left the door. Which means 'oh oh' for Anna.

"Leave" Juverl said. To her surprise, Juverl actually spared her. What a good husband he was?

Anna took the opportunity to run after Yasmine. She caught up to her before she left the hallway that leads to the door that leads out of the Northern gate chamber.

"Good morning, sister-in-law. I am guessing I just saved you from a painful first time" Yasmine said

"oh, please don't scare me. And excuse the formalities. Just call me Anna"

"Okay Anna. I want to send you to a place but you will have to dress your best to go there. Go back now and get ready, I will send a maid to bring you to the white room. From there, I will send you to the place" Yasmine told her with the most innocent smile she had.

"Okay" Anna agreed

"I will take my leave now" Yasmine left

Anna went back to the room to get dressed. After taking her bath, she had a towel on to meet Juverl where he sat.

"Juverl, can you do me a favor?" Anna asked

"Choose from the black gowns, they are the best" He told her with his eyes closed

"How do you know what I was about to ask?" Anna was shocked by him

"Because this has happened multiple times. Heed my warning, whatever you do, don't go to the white room. It has killed most of my wives" He told her "Stay here with me instead" He opened his arms for her

"No, you just want me to stay here. Yasmine was very desperate to send me somewhere that she even sent a maid to wait outside for me" Anna left his sight

"I have said it, women are a lot of trouble Juverl sighed and went into the bathroom.

The maid took Anna to the white room as instructed by Yasmine. The maid shook all the way there. She left Anna at the door while she left. Anna bravely opened the door and went inside it with a wide smile.

"Second sister-in-law, may I ask where first sister-in-law is" Anna asked Lilith, who was sitting calmly on the bed.

The white room sure lived up to its name. Nothing in that room was not white, except for Lilith's hair which was thick black

"She is just about to send you somewhere" Lilith stood up from the bed and stood right in front of Anna

"That is the reason for my presence" Anna said. After that, pure darkness followed

She opened her eyes with her body tied up with a rope and hung upside down.

"Juverl was right. You are trying to kill me, aren't you? He told me not to come"

"You should have listened to him, dearie. Goodbye now" Yasmine raised her sword ready to cut her head off. Anna saw her head rolling away on the ground. Wait, that was not her head, it was Yasmine's. She looked up and saw that Juverl has cut her head off with his claws

"Not this time, witch" Juverl said

"What did you just do?" Lilith froze

"That is not Yasmine. That is a witch in her form whose mission is to stop me from having a life. Yasmine died three years ago, on the night of my first wedding. Her body has been buried by my men in the palace cemetery. You can visit her there if you want"

Juverl loosened the rope on Anna and took her away, leaving Lilith frozen on a spot
