I stayed still as he slashed his palm with the knife. I tried to move a little but his grip on my hand is tight. He's reciting a spell that isn't Latin. 

" It's done. Do you have any other questions?" He asked, moving away from me.

" What's this blood Oath? What will it do to me?"

" We are bounded until I collect your soul after seven wishes. I will be there wherever you are. That's why I'm impersonating as a student in this Human Academy. From now on, you can't reverse this spell. You can't try to go back to the way when everything was normal in your life." He said, opening the door for me.

" So, that's it. There's no way out. What if I don't ask you to fulfil any wish? You will fail to collect my soul?"

" I won't fail. I know you tried to resist using the wish box. But you ended up calling me. That's how everything works. You can't resist longer, Brina. Have a good day," Daemon is about to close his door.

" Wait. You haven't answered all my questions." 

" You still have doubts." He shook his head.

" I do. What's your real name? If you are a devil, are you lucifer? or Baʽal or..."

" Daemon's the name I choose for myself. Next, I haven't earned those high positions yet. But if you help me by giving your life, I might be Lucifer one day. Do you wanna help me?" He smiled at me.

" Never. You said I got seven wishes. I might use a few wishes but I'm not a fool to reach the seventh number. Don't be disappointed if you failed." I walked without waiting for his response. I have to find a way to end this before I ran of time. It's all started because of the witch. If I could see her again, she might have the solution to stop Daemon.

I went back to my room, overthinking things that happened in the past two weeks. The only good thing is I can make anything happen and the bad thing is I will die soon.

" What are you doing in here, Sabrina? You missed Economics class on the very first day." Hayley entered the room without knocking.

" It's just one class. It doesn't matter." I told her and walked out of my room with my bag. I can't miss my class because of Daemon. He's messing with my dream. This Academy means everything to me. It can't be spoiled by a devil.

I took a seat far away from my friends. I'm too depressed to have a conversation. If any one of them, asks me 'are you okay?' again. I will tell everything from the witch to the devil.

" Hey, Can I sit here?" Ronan asked me. I couldn't say no to him.

" Sure,"

" We haven't really talked since we arrived here. Do you have time now?"

"Do you want to get caught in front of a new teacher?" I asked him without taking my eyes off Mrs Piper. She's just skimming her book.

" It's okay. We can talk like this." Ronan whispered. I smiled a little. He's the only person who makes me happy. He will never be my boyfriend. But having him as my best friend is better than seeing him as a stranger.

" Yeah, whispering is good," I said, looking at my book. Ronan and I didn't pay attention even after the class started.

A few minutes later, he was writing something in his new book.

" I thought you are not listening," I whispered.

" I'm not. See this." He showed his book.

Would you like to meet me in the cafe after class? We have a lot to catch us. 

I read it twice and wrote ' Yes' in my book and showed him. 

When the class ended, I went back to my room. I feel like I'm living alone here. Hayley spends a lot of time outside instead of staying in our room. Anyhow, I took my purse and got ready to meet Ronan in the cafe.

As I walked past all rooms, I wondered how big the Academy is. It might take a lot of days to remember every place. When I almost left the Academy, Ronan called me.

" Hey, I'm on my way. The cafe you mentioned is one street away from the Academy right? I haven't visited it yet."

" Sabrina...Don't be upset. But I can't see you today. I'm so sorry. I should have told earlier."

" What? What's keeping you busy? We aren't going to talk for an hour. Half an hour time would be enough."

" I know. But Samantha wants to meet me in the library. She's been asking from yesterday."

"Oh, then why did you promised to meet me today?"

" I said sorry. I can't come with excuses. She will be mad. I thought you would understand. " 

Ronan doesn't want to disappoint her. I don't matter to him when it comes to Sam. 

"Yeah, I understand."

" Thank you..." I hang up on him before he finished speaking. All my love for him is utter waste. But I have a chance to change it. Why should I make myself suffer every time? Ronan will never get what I'm feeling. He sucks in understanding me. 

I know what should I do next. I walked inside the Academy. In a few minutes, I'm standing in front of room number 113 knocking on the door.

" It's you again. What's up?" Daemon invited me inside.

" I want to check your power. I'm going to use my first wish." I said without hesitation.

" Wow, that was fast. What's your wish? Don't wish for something small. You might lose your life for nothing."

" That's none of your business. What I want is..."

" Go on. I'm eager to hear it." He urged me.

" I want Ronan to be my boyfriend. I want him to understand my feelings. I want him to love him just the way I do all these years. I want him to be madly in love with me. Can you do it?" I didn't think twice. I just said it. 

" Consider it done," Daemon winked at me.

" That's it. No spells. Nothing."

" I'm not a witch to do a spell every time you wish for something. If you want some proof, go back to your room. When your wish is about to happen, the box will open without a lock and play music. See for yourself, Brina," Daemon said and closed the door. 

I went back to my room to find Hayley sitting in the coach.

" You came back?" I asked.

" Yeah, I guess you don't want me to be here." 

" No. It's not that." I tried to come up with an excuse for my early behaviours but suddenly creepy music started playing in our room. The music sound both horrifying and sad.

" What's that noise? Why do have such a ringtone?" 

" It's not my phone," I said, running to take the wish box from the shelf. It's opened by itself. I tried to close it but it played for at least two minutes.

" When did you started collecting old music players?" Hayley asked.

" A few months earlier...It's a 16th-century player." I stupidly lied. That's when someone knocked on our room. Is it Daemon?

I was wrong, it's Ronan.

" I'm so sorry for leaving you like that. Who wants to go to a library? The cafe will be closing in an hour. Are you coming? I will pay for you." Ronan said, holding my hand. He never acts like this. Is it because of the wish? 

" You are going to the cafe. Can I come too?" Hayley interrupted.

" Maybe tomorrow," Ronan replied and made me leave before I can say anything to Hayley.

" What about Sam?"

" I told her to ask someone else,"

" Is she okay with it?"

" I don't care. Why are you talking about her?" Ronan asked like he doesn't even care about her.

" You care about her. You already went on three dates with her."

" Yeah, I do care. But not more than you." This is not the truth. I caused this to be with Ronan.

While walking our way towards the cafe, Ronan's hand is on my waist. He's keeping me close to him like I'm his girlfriend. This is what I wanted. But it feels weird.

I made the wrong decision due to my anger. I don't know where it's gonna lead me.
