Ave pov::
'ahhhhh' my scream was heard by many but no one dared to step forward, I've heard rumours of the devil who calls himself Lucifer, not only that, I've seen him in my dreams and I know how he looks like, huge nails, bloody teeth and dark eyes, he was scary as hell.
"AVE" my body was covered with sweats and tears, I was crying not because I was scared but I felt a poke in my heart when I heard the devil called my name. In reality my aunt was by my side trying to wake me, I opened my eyes slowly taken in the view that was before me, the sun ray was pointing directly to my face, as if trying to tell me something.
"What happened" my aunt's smooth and calm voice drew my attention from the sun to her face, her expression was hidden it was unlike her, aunty Claire's expression was always easy to read but this time she was scared of showing it or telling me something.
"I had a nightmare again" my voice was low but it carried emotions and fear, I wanted to cry but I held my tears back , it will only make her worried.
"It's just a dream ave, the devil stories aren't real" she smiled faintly before kissing me on my forehead, I gave a little nod and I saw her walk towards the door and down the stairs.
I laid on my bed for a long time before getting ready for the day. I quickly went downstairs to check on the plants and I saw my grandma sitting beside the Lili flower.
"Good morning Grandma" I gave her a warm smile and she did the same, although her teeths where not in order but her smile was still the best.
"AVE my dear, you've grown up so fast and you've become a strong woman in this harsh world but you can't live with me and Claire forever" her voice was husky but her smile still fixed on her wrinkled face. I held her hand and rest my head on her lap admiring the beautiful flowers around us, in our village every girl at age 19 would be sold out for slavery to work for Nobel people like the king and Queens or the rich men. I looked up at my grandma not taking my head off her laps and I saw her face in a beautiful way, I got my red hair from my grandma and I also took her lashes, I gave her a faint smile before getting up and taking her inside.
"AVE , come help me in the kitchen" I quickly ran to meet aunt Claire, she was cutting the veggies so I joined her. She looked at me and smiled, she was beautiful but fate played a game on her.
"You look just like your mum" she said putting a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Thank you aunty Claire", the bell in the center village was heard and everyone was ment to gather around for the news.
"I'm going to be right back aunt Claire" I braided my hair before running to the village centre.
"AVE" I looked around to see who was calling out my name, it was max, my childhood friend and also my future husband.
"Max" I gave him a wild smile before putting my full weight on him for a hug. Max was pretty strong because he was a warrior in the village, he was older than me but he's face and strength was all the matters to me.
"Come with me" I found myself running around the crowd with max holding my hand. Max slowed down in other for me to catch my breath, I looked up at him and saw his perfect teeth and blue eyes shinning brightly at me.
"We need more money and development in this community" an elderly man spoke out , standing at the podium. Before he could finish his words a man with sword and a scary face knocked him down the floor.
"We are here to take all the young ladies in this community for slavery" I swallowed hard then look at max, he's expression was unreadable. The scary guy started calling names from various families who wants to sell their daughter for money, I won't be easily noticed because I was much younger than my age.
"AVE Andrewson" I looked up at the man who was now staring directly into my eyes, I was shocked before I could figure out what was happening I was carried to the podium, I looked around the crowd to search for answers then I saw my aunt Claire standing among the crowds with tears in her eyes.
Tears rolled down my cheeks, my vision become blur and the only person I could see was my aunt Claire whispering but I was to scared to move or say anything and most of all I was shocked, who would I be sold to?, why did my aunt did this?, Is that why grandma told me I was already grown? Different questions ran through my mind before I passed out.
"Is she wake" I heard one of the men asking someone else, I opened my eyes slowly and saw most of the girls who was also going to be a slave for the novels, I stood up and looked outside the carriage, this part of the world seems different to me so different, more like a dream to me.

Luci pov:
"You need an heir Lucifer, we need a descendant who would continue to rule this kingdom" my father had plans of getting me different women but my mind was still on a red hair girl with bright eyes.
" I would get a girl father, but I need the one in my dreams" I yelled at him, many years ago, before my mother died, she has always been in calm and understanding one but my dad arrogant and pride killed his own family, I became the next king and I made sure to push my father into the pit without no power over any creature.
"She's just a dream, you need to wake up son" he roared, his voice eoching around the large walls.
" I said no, I will find her and I will make her my wife and also the mother of my children" I shouted at him, before leaving his presence.
†*****† OUTSIDE THE WALLS†****†
"My lord, new girls are being sold for slavery" my guard stated.
"And what does that have to do with me"I asked feeling disgusted by his appearance
"My lord.....one of the men said they found a red hair girl among them" I looked at him for a long time, his head bowed, avoiding my eyes.
"What's her name" I asked more excited than curious.
"AVE.....AVE Andrewson" I climbed on my horse before looking down at him.
"Inform Israel to get her from the black market" I looked at him on last time before riding away.

AVE POV:
We rode for a long time in the carriage before we came to a stop at the market, I could hardly see a man for slavery, most of the women where naked, some were confident about it while some hide their body in shame. An elderly woman walked up to the carriage, she was talking to the guards in a language no one understands.
"Katèva" I looked around wondering if any of the girls understood what she was saying.
"Com down" it sounded more like a command, she was not friendly and her face was full of make up. One by one we descended from the carriage holding on to the herm of our dress, I looked around scanning the environment. We were taking inside the ward, it smells of cigarettes and sexual pleasures, every door we walked pass was always something to complain about. Each of us where separated in different cells, I walked into the cell and sat down on the cold floor, tears stream down my eyes as I remembered everything that happened in the morning before getting to the black market.
"You must be new" I looked back to see who it was and I saw a blonde hair girl with pale face.
"Yes" my voice was husky but low. "You?" I asked looking at her big blue eyes, she reminds me of max.....max!
"I'm Elisa" she said looking at my face, I walked slowly to her side and sat down.
"AVE" we stared at each other for a while.
"What happened to you" my eyes scanned her body, it was covered with bruises and marks.
"I was sold out for slavery by my dad" tears pricked out of her eyes. She quickly weep them off as if she was scared of me seeing them.
"It's ok to cry"I said , smiling at her, she looked at me for a while before laughing, her pink cherry cheeks was so perfect on that pale face.
"What about you?" She examined my face waiting for me to say something.
"I was sold by my aunty" I looked away, hiding my sadness.
"People you think that has your back, will only be the one that will backstab you" I looked into her eyes and for the first time I found someone who understands life like I do.
