Innocent Times

and kneeled by the beside me. She brushed away some of my tears and held me for a moment.
“I am so sorry Grace, remember I love you but we can’t be together.” Were the last words I heard Dominic say to me, Michael released him and the Demon Prince left. It was the last time I saw him until now, two years later….
My bodily urges took control upon me, telling me to go with him and be under his command. Charlie, bless her, tried to protect me, she tried her hardest to keep me safe and sacrificed her soul to not let any harm come to me but he was too smart and cunning. His friend and guardian Michael removed the soul from her body, I remembered vaguely her silhouette drifting to me on her last ounce of power and strength but she had to let go. Charlie was no longer my protector, my best friend gone, forever.
Now I was here with him and we were alone, he kidnapped me and took me away to his bedsit. Dominic unbuttoned his shirt revealing a toned torso. He knelt over me on his bed and kissed me passionately. All the anger for Charlie vanished as soon as his lips touched mine and all the hate I had for him released away from me. All I wanted now was to enjoy this moment with him, sparkled and changed to pink, my powers for love for him revealed once again.
He stopped kissing me, gazed into my eyes and stroked my brightly lit up hair. I knew what he wanted from me but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to go on to this, my first time. What would everyone think of me? The chosen unicorn girl with the demon boy. Good and evil together.
Charlie.
It honoured me the day when the king of the Unicorn People requested that I, Charlie, would be the protector of his daughter Grace. We were of similar age so as children we had often played together in the palace court yard, the kingdom of the Unicorn People was always so bright and a haven to be. Our allies were the evil ones known as the Demon People but we had a friendly truce with them and once you got to know their king and queen, they were friendly. Their son Dominic however, I was just unsure about him, there was just something about him I felt was not right. I noticed how he always looked at Grace like he was a predator stalking his prey until that very moment he would attack. I knew he wanted her but he could not have her, it was forbidden.
The two kings always got on so well every time they visited each other and they both could put on a right party and feast. His highness,the Unicorn King wore a wondrous crown, it was golden and glittery and in the middle where it all joined was the Unicorn horn. The horn was a symbol of our sacred being, the animal of the Unicorn herself, who could transform herself to become one but also be a person to. However, there has been no-one else able to do this unless you were the chosen one. I believed it worried the king that his daughter could do this someday, that she was the chosen one.
I remember when Grace was sixteen she had come home one night very upset, I knew there had been problems with her father as he wanted her to have an arranged marriage to a nobleman but she was not having any of it. Her parents fell in love off their own back and that is what Grace wanted to do, but unknown to his daughter, the king was worried that she would have the same fate as her mother. So, he wanted to ensure, Grace was looked after and cared for by someone of noble birth. Not by someone who was too focused on ruling a kingdom like himself as he could not fulfil being a husband. No one knew who or why the queen passed away but the king felt so guilty about this.
Grace had told me about her encounter with the Demon Prince and how she had fallen madly in love with him, even two years later I knew she still cried for him and struggled to get over him. When Grace was eighteen, the king finally gave me the role as her protector, I had been training up for this moment since I was a child. We were already friends but yet, inside I loved her and wanted to be the one to protect her, we were like sisters as she was an only child. This very night I couldn’t save Grace, I tried so hard but Dominic was one step ahead of me, I knew he had still been stalking Grace. This very night I had taken her out to the mortal realm to dance the night away and to forget all about the Demon boy. He crushed her heart by choosing to serve the Demon King over his love for her. I was appointed by the king of the Unicorn People to protect his daughter at all costs, even if that cost me my life. Now here I was, stuck in the spirit world until they have granted me the chance to live again. Dominic’s protector Michael, another Demon like the prince was too strong and powerful for me, he completely ripped my soul from my body and all I could do was sacrifice myself as he would have killed Grace. Luckily my soul struck down Michael before I drifted away into the spirit world. Please forgive me my king and my princess, we will meet again.
Dominic.
I have been watching her for so long, the only girl who I have ever loved, but I betrayed her. I chose to serve him, the demon king,
