"Mr. Devil"
Author by Natalie Ernison
Henokh's great desire was to live happily with a woman who was able to accept it as it was. The most beautiful woman already was nearby, namely Ellena Casey. However, as a woman who wants to have a happy home, Ellena can't afford to watch her future husband's dependence on virgin blood.

"So you just want to give up," Ell said softly.
Henokh walked up to Ell with his cheeky face, even his eyes were red, now starting to dim. "Do you want me to keep fighting?" said Henokh as he grabbed Ell's neck.
Hmm... Ell nodded with tears that had begun to drip down his smooth cheeks. "Of course I want to," said Ell.
"All right, let's fight together. I'm sorry that wasn't perfect for you," Henokh said softly. Kissing Ell's lips, Ell closed her eyes.
Afterward, Henokh departed from the presence of Ell. Henokh still fought for their relationship to an even better level, even though it all felt so difficult.

"Ellena family residence"
"Ellena, what about your marriage to the young master Henokh?" asked Clesia's grandmother to Ell, who was cleaning up her private workspace.
"It still takes time, because we still have a lot of work to do."
"Aren't you, you're both well established, Ellena!" said Clesia's astonished grandmother.
Ell stopped her job and sighed quietly. Because Ell must be able to explain correctly about herself with Henokh. Didn't want to make her grandmother suspicious in the slightest.
"Grandma, can't wait to see Junior Cars, isn't it," said Ell joked. So that her mood can return to normal.
"Of course 'dear, grandma is eager to see Matte junior. Your mom and dad must be very happy," Clesia's grandmother said while helping Ell clean up all the files Ell had at the time.

For months, Ell no longer communicated with Henokh. Even if it's just texting each other, it's not.
"Is everything going to be okay," murmured Ell while staring at the dress Henokh had prepared for their wedding day. Ell began to be pessimistic about all their plans because until now Henokh had not been giving news.
"Excuse me, Miss Ellena, hello!" exclaimed someone from behind her bedroom door. Ell was forced to get out of her bed just to open the door.
"Well, what's wrong?" said Ell coldly.
"Sorry to interrupt the break miss. But below there's already someone looking for a missus," said Ell's housekeeper.
"Why did you forget, didn't I tell you I was going to be so busy!" said an exasperated Ell.
"Sorry Miss Ell,--"
"Never thought, I don't want this to happen again." Ell then returned to his private room, picking up a cardigan as the cover of his nightgown.
Ell then went downstairs and saw who exactly the important guest was.
"Ellena!" exclaimed someone who had been waiting for Ell.
"Uncle Luke," Ell told the man, who was Mr. Luke, the father of Henokh.
"I'm sorry if you've disturbed your rest Ellena," lamented Mr. Luke. It's not unusual for Mr. Luke to visit these nights, Ell thought.
Ell sat face-to-face with Mr. Luke in a living room.
"What made you come here?" asked Ell to Mr. Luke.
"Ellena, did Henokh not give you the news until now?"
"Why are you asking me this?" Ell asked Mr. Luke instead.
"Henokh has not returned home long enough, none of us know where he is."
"What, young master Henokh is not in the mansion!" Ell was surprised to hear that.
"Well, Ellena. The last time we met was when Henokh took you to the mansion." Ell was so unable to see what she was hearing right now. Will Henokh disappear, and will not return.
"I'm going to her mansion," Ell said, then immediately returned to her room to change clothes.
After changing clothes, Ell immediately invites Mr. Luke to go with her.
***
Ellena went with Mr. Luke and Mr. Luke's personal driver at the time. Throughout the journey Ell seemed so anxious, and kept thinking about what Henokh had now done.
After a while later...
"Henokh's mansion"
Ell was so impatient to meet Henokh.
"Good night, Mr. Luke, and Miss Ellena," greeted the mansion's servants. Their faces look somber and lackluster.
"Where is the young master Henokh?" asked Ell sarcastically to one of the maids.
"We don't know miss.." replied the waiter.
"How could you not know, don't you guys work here!" snapped an exasperated Ell.
"Ellena calm down son, we have to calm down," Mr. Luke said, trying to calm Ell down.
"How could I possibly calm down uncle, while Henokh disappeared. He hasn't seen me in a while," Ell said softly.
"Why did the new uncle say this to me!"
"Because I think Henokh has prepared everything for your marriage, and I'm abroad."
Ell massaged her head, and for a moment thought. "Where should I find Lord Henokh," Ell said.
"Miss Ellena, can we talk for a second," said one security member of Henokh's mansion.
>>>
Ell tries to stay calm and talks to Henokh's bodyguards.
"Mr. Henokh advised us not to discuss this with the lady. But seeing the lady so anxious, I couldn't bear to talk."
Ell stared inside the man, and certainly couldn't wait for what information he heard.
"Lord Henokh was in the realm of darkness, and... —“
"What! how is it possible!" interjected Ell who was so impatient to find out more.
"Miss Ellena please calm down. Only Henokh's master could be there, whereas an ordinary man could not."
"Then you think I'll have to wait a long time!" Ell begins to get angry, and dissatisfied with the information she has just listened to.
"Well miss, we can only wait," lamented the man's bodyguard in Henokh. "But if the lady is willing to follow the ritual, then we can go there."
"You mean it!" said Ell enthusiastically. The guards nodded, and they were ready to perform some rituals.
>>>
Ell put aside all his work and prepared to follow the ritual. Although this ritual does not necessarily work and will be very dangerous for Ell's life. Ell has been really serious and confident in his options.
"Miss Ellena is ready?" asked the bodyguard and some of the mansion's servants.
"I'm ready!" replied Ell.
Arghk... Ahhh... Ell's screams, as part of her hand, were slashed by a sharp dagger. Not only Ell but the servants and bodyguards who were there also felt what Ell experienced.
One of the men's bodyguards made a circular pattern and then their blood was a drip in each of the circles. Red candles were lit around every corner of the place. They held a ritual in the ground floor room of the mansion because no one dared to touch it.
Red wool threads are glued to each of their wrists. They held hands.
"These hands and ropes must not be cut off, no matter what happens survive," recalled Mr. Trush, Henokh's personal assistant who also participated in the ritual.
Swusshhh swushs...
The wind began to blow, and everything in the room shook. Their bodies float in the air. There's something that's starting to bother them and makes the focus disappear.
Ahkk... all screamed great, and finally, their eyes opened. Now their spirit souls are separated from the human body. Their human bodies still sit still while continuing to mutter.
"Are we separated," Ell said horrified, It's very horrible for her?
"Well Miss Ellena, we're going both into the realm of darkness." Mr. Trush said.
Suddenly their spirit souls disappeared and were thrown into the terrifying darkness of the night.
***
Ahkk... Ell touched her head in pain from being hit by something hard. "Where am I?" said Ell as she looked around.
"Miss Ellena," calls Mr. Trush, who is suddenly in Ell's presence.
"Mr. Trush, since when is the master here?" squealed Ell.
"I've been waiting for you, miss," Mr. Trush said, but something was wrong.
Mr. Trush's face looked so pale and the eyes dimmed. Ell also welcomed Mr. Trush's hand which invited her to leave.
"Miss Ellena! Don't come with that demon!" screamed Mr. Trush with a maid.
"What should we do, sir?" urged the maid. Because the devil has taken the form of someone Ell knows.
