The Devil Judge ? || (ONE-SHOTS)

~The One Whom Is Beautiful (1/10)

Indeed, the eagle race was worthy of their title, as they were all wondrously made.
There wasn't one who wasn't charming...
And on one hand I could understand why so many of us jumped in without processing the danger.

It wasn't guaranteed that if you were chosen, you would lead a happy life. You could get killed or abused.

For as the gods of ancient Olympus, they played with our fate, in the same way they were playing chess.
Theft was allowed among them and often some of us, after being chosen, were kidnapped by other individuals, sometimes for fun, sometimes for envy and shady reasons.

-Honey! He chose her! It's the law, we can't go against it! -
My mother grabbed me by the arm, trying to prevent the good-looking guy from getting angry and hurting us.

As they were strong as werewolves and fast as vampires.

-No! There must be another way! - i protested stubborn.
He kept his eyes on me, while a slight smile rippled across his full lips. His violet eyes tinged with irritation but also with amusement.

My sister shook her head, releasing her arm from my grasp.
-Kim Ga On... It's okay. He said those words. He said i am beautiful...-

I looked at her in dismay. Lost in the void of my thoughts.
-That's impossible! It can't happen the first time... It doesn't -
Just before I could finish, i was violently grabbed by the arm, the man lifted me several inches off the ground then slammed into the nearest wall.

-Please! Don't do anything to my child! He's just a young boy! -
My mother rushed to my defense, along with Soo Hyun who frantically came to my rescue.

-Yes, you're right, it never happens at first sight, you need to have more encounters before it happens- he answered me, ignoring everything else. Everyone in the room.

-Do you think a person like me can come down to this dump and choose someone like you? Do you think I'm happy to have been matched with one of you? - he smiled sarcastically, loosening his grip on my neck.

He then shifted his shining eyes back to Elijah, apparently confused.
Angry.

-Ask her, as she is the one who commenced spying on me. She chose this fate... -

I don't believe it! This can't be true...

I laid my attention on my sister, praying that it was a lie, that it wasn't really happening.
And that she hadn't been the one who went for him first...
it wasn't her initiative to be sought out so adamantly....
Could she...?

-I'm sorry... -
Elijah lowered her dark eyes to the wooden floor, hiding her guilt.
-Why Elijah? What if he harms you? We can't trust them...! -

-He won't! - she interrupted me.

The man seemed to get angry at her statement, but didn't say anything, as if Elijah could tame him and read beyond his intentions.

-I've claimed her, she is mine- he said dangerously, his voice strong, certain.

-Get the carriage ready! -
His men started moving under his order. They walked quickly as requested, setting everything up, as he instead lingered around, studying the humble surroundings we lived in.
The vast difference between their world and ours.

- Call me Jagger Odeys... - he spoke suddenly, softly, advancing towards Elijah just to pick her up in his forcible arms.

My sister had suffered an accident, so she was unable to walk.
We often had to push her on a wheelbarrow or lift her up... and he seemed to know it, he appeared to be aware of it all, confirming once more that they had met more than i could think of.

-The one whom is beautiful... -
His eyes began to glow, as the words flew from his lips, conjuring and sealing what needed to be conquered.
To be taken.

He really did say those words...
He had claimed my sister, and
there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

To say "the one whom is beautiful", was not ordinary thing for them, for it was as if they were cursed, hell-bent to roam the earth in search of perfection.

It was a phrase that came out of their mouth without control, in pure autonomy, at the very moment when the source of their being found the path to the gates of paradise; that is, if they found in you the definition of beauty they were looking for...
And if they did find it in you, you became their property.

-One more thing... - Jagger paused in the doorway of our home, his expression neutral.
-I'll insert you into the King's list.... I think you are perfect for the big hunt-

I squinted my eyes, troubled, not knowing what he was getting at.

Big hunt?

-What list are you talking about?! - my best friend preceded me, staring at him with an irritated look.

The man smiled with disdain, widening his mouth. The perfect white teeth of his.

-The list of Kang Yo Han... The list of the King, the leader of us all-
