Later that night, I kiss my corsage and place it down gently on my nightstand. Daven assured me that on the actual day of the dance, he’ll replace it with a real one. He just wanted to get me one for now to show me how much he wants to be with me. Such a sweet guy. What will I ever do without him?

I yawn. I had stayed up to three in the morning studying for big test tomorrow, and I feel ready to crash and never wake up again. It only took seconds after my head hit the pillow for me to fall fast asleep.

“Bella, Bella Nova,” a mysterious and deep voice calls out again.

I slowly open my eyes and find myself back on that squishy asphalt, my elbows burning as I lean them against the ground. “Ouch!”

“Who’s out there?” I call out. “Show yourself! I’m tired of playing games.”

Again, out of the corner of my eye, I see a dark figure, dark as midnight, an arm this time, and I follow it as it runs behind the same large rock.

“Gotcha!” I shout when I turn the corner and look behind the rock. Empty. No one’s there. Damn it! I was so sure the animal had hidden here, and that I’d find it.

But when I turn back around, I see a monster, a tall and dark monstrous creature with midnight black skin and red eyes. Perched on the top of his head are large horns, resembling that of a ram. I want to scream, run away from the creature and pray for my life. But all that came out is a quiet yelp, followed by me slightly backing away.

The strange thing though, is that this monster is sort of… handsome? And I find myself extremely attracted to him, or it, or whatever it is. Is that weird? He looks so much like Daven! Maybe my immense attraction for Daven had manifested as a dream, and this monster is actually him.

“Who are you?” I ask again. “Daven? Is that you?”

The creature remains silent, but starts to walk over to me. I can’t stop staring into his deep red eyes, eyes that look so perfect, pulling me in and enchanting me. Then he touches my face, and I can feel that part of it turning stiff before returning back to its natural state just seconds later.

“Daven?” I ask again.

But the creature shakes his head. “My name is Draven Asmodeus. I am a demon of the Underworld, and I need your help.”

I nearly fall back at his words! “Underworld?”

“Hell.”

I spring up on my bed, sweat pouring down my forehead and neck. I look around, and I feel so relieved to find myself back in my own bedroom. The night is still dark, and when I look over at my phone, I still have two hours before the sun rises.

It’s all just a dream. It’s all just a dream. But even so, why did it feel so real? What the hell have I been eating lately? Ugh, I place a hand on my forehead.
