4. Truth or Lies

SABRINA

I stared at the two men with my jaws dropped and my eyes widened.

What the hell did they just sprew out?

"What the hell?!" I suddenly blurted out, vexation taking control of my nerves.

"My mother paid you to come here and spill such nonsense to me right?"I questioned them both, pointing my index finger at them.

My hiked eye brows hinted anger and my heart was slamming against its rib cages.

"Your mother.."Nelyx began in such a rich tone, "She must have told you about us"

"Ofcourse she did!" I shot back with a daring temerity coursing through me.

"She told me all these cock and bull stories you two are trying to make me believe. How much did she pay you to tell me this?" I went further to ask.

I can't believe my mum will actually go this far to make me believe her useless tales. What rubbish!

Arrant nonsense.

I truly have to get her to the psychiatrist when I'm done with these two run down actors.

I also can't believe these men actually agreed to my mum sickening plan.

What sort of a life does my mum want for me?

"She didn't pay us any thing . Everything she told you was the truth about us doll" Aklyn replied to me, taking a step closer.

I moved backwards subconsciously, a cold chilling spine running down my body.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at both of them.

Hearing them talk just fueled my anger the more.

The air suddenly felt tensed along with the atmosphere.

"What-- what is wrong with you both?! Huh? Do you know how I've endured my mum silly fallacies over the years? Seeing my mum slowly going insane over these years is heart breaking. I'm doing my best to cure her off whatever mental illness she's suffering from. Then she came to you both to cajole you two into coming here to tell me these lies and you both agreed to it. You aren't even helping the situation. Couldn't you see my mother needed a psychiatrist? Why did you agree to do this? Do you think I was born yesterday to believe all these rubbish?" I rambled in my speech, my chest heaving with anger repeatedly.

I had hit the roof and I truly didn't care any more. I was done being soft on my mother. This is the total height of it all. I'm going to take her to see a psychiatrist once I'm out of here.

All the while, the two men just remained silent, a wily smile etching by the corners of their lips making me more enraged.

I was being serious here and they just stood there smiling.

"Tell me how much did she pay you? I'll give you double of that if you can go back to her and tell her that you aren't interested in helping her fallacies look real" I interrogated them.

An unsettling silence consumed the atmosphere, spreading like wild fire.

"Your mother didn't pay us any thing" Aklyn chorused what he had earlier said.

"We are the demon kings and you are our queen Mina" Nelyx said to me in such a serious tone that suddenly got me tongue tied.

"My name isn't Mina. I am Sabrina. You don't even know your lines well!"I scoffed back after finding my voice.

A dark chuckle rumbled from their lungs. It just had an oozing aura of authority and power.

"You are Mina, our queen" Nelyx replied.

Before I could utter any more words, Aklyn cut in.

"We came here for you. And we will fully claim you"

"Well too bad. I'm already claimed by the love of my fucking life" I scowled, eying them both with a distasteful look on my face.

"Don't worry doll. It's only a matter of time. You will soon be ours. But right now, we will leave you. Make no mistake however queen. We are coming back for you soon" Nelyx informed, stepping so close to me and taking my hair in his hands.

I felt so angry at their utterances and so speechless too. I watched them take retreating steps out of the roof and back into the club.

Oh Lord.

For a moment, I just stood there rigid in shock.

The length my mum is going to just to prove her stupid fairy tales to me is alarming.

How did my mum even know i was heading to the club?

My legs immedately scrambled for the door. I shuffled my feets downstairs in a bid to find Sharon.

Maybe she must have called my mum to check up on her and informed her about my whereabouts.

My body grazed against different people as I pushed through the crowd in hopes of finding Sharon.

I finally spotted her dancing with a man. I was quick to pull her away from his mild grip which made her yelp in surprise.

"Sabrina why would you do that?" Sharon asked, rubbing on to her wrists.

"Did you tell my mother that I was going to the club?"I queried her.

She seemed taken aback by my question and shook her head in response. "No I didn't. Why the sudden question girl?"

"Because" I sighed heavily.

"Two men just approached me and fucking claim to be the demon trash" I announced to her trying so hard not to get exasperated once again.

She became doe eyed in an instant. "Do you mean the demon kings your mum always told you about?"

"They are real?" She gasped.

"Ofcourse they aren't" I snapped back sharply. "My mum must have paid those two men to come tell me this rubbish" I added.

"Then where are the men? They must be here somewhere. And how did your mum know your exact location because I didn't tell her and you didn't" Sharon asked.

I combed my hands through my hair in annoyance. "I also don't know. I thought you told her"

My eyes roved around the dim club, searching if they could spot those men but it seemed they weren't in the club, atleast I couldn't see them.

"Let us just leave here please. I want to go home sharon" I told her after my futile attempt to spot the men.

She gave me a sorry look and nodded her head at my request.

Hand in hand, we pushed through the crowd and made for the exit.

Fuck. What is going on in my life?
