"What?!" I shouted at them. "Help us get him on the bed." Luzo ordered me sternly. I put my arms under his body and we moved Adrian onto the bed they just had sex on. All of us were naked, only Adrian wore his swimming shorts."Fuck. Elle, we are not allowed to touch him. We could lose our heads." Aklan said with panic. "What? Heal him!" I loudly commanded. They both looked scared.I pointed at Adrian. "Heal. Him." I ordered again. "You will not lose your heads. You have my word." My promise to them got them moving. I ran back to the door to loudly shut it and then ran back to the trio. "I need water. And lots of it. We need to cleanse the wound." Luzo ordered me. With a nod, I turned to the bathroom and threw everything out the cabinet in search of a bucket.Filling it up to the brim, I ran back into the room where Luzo and Aklan were inspecting the wound. "How is it looking?" I asked them with wide eyes. Luzo didn't answer and instead took the bucket of water from me and started pou
"Murderer." Levi whispered to me. "No, I'm not, he's not-" "Dead?" Levi finished for me. "He will be, little murderer, look at him." Levi said next. I looked at Adrian. No, he wasn't going to die. He was a demon king. "My brother poisoned him with lilac. Smart. Very difficult to get. Impossible to get healed from." He said next. I looked at Levi again. His arm shot out and Aklan harshly hit the floor. Aklan didn't respond. Shock prevented me from crying. "Come here, little human." Levi ordered me. I shook my head. I didn't want to go with him. Didn't want to go anywhere near him. Luzo stood against the wall, terrified. She regarded Levi with wide eyes and then me over Adrian. "I want to have some fun with you." Levi said as he stepped over Aklan. In less than a second, he was with me. He grabbed my arm roughly and pulled me against him. I dropped the bucket and washcloth. It spilled everywhere and wet my naked feet. His hand firmly grabbed me and he walked around the bed, around
"That's what I want to hear. I bet you can satisfy me all night, little slave." Levi said to me. I looked down, and saw how hard he was. No. Definitely not happening. He grabbed my shoulder and banged it into the wall behind me. "We don't compliment, but I do like your hair." He said to me next. My shoulder burned from the impact. His hand wound around my hair. "Us demons can't grow it longer than our shoulders. Weird fighting genetics. But yours is down the middle of your back. Maybe I can tie it to the bed when I fuck you." He said next.I really wish this guy would stop talking. And stop touching me. I sat frozen against the wall, my arm, lip, shoulder and head hurting from the abuse. My wish was granted. Someone shouted for King Leviathan down the hallway. Levi whipped his head around to the door in anger. Without saying another word, he pushed me against the wall again and he walked out without looking back. I sighed deeply. The cut on my arm literally looked like a bite. It
I sat in the shower. I couldn't handle this anymore. Tears fell down my cheeks and made no attempt to wipe them away. The shower rained down on me, washing nothing but dirt and blood away. The pain stayed. It had locked in my bones and was engraved in my skin. No shower could rinse it clean. My forehead fell on my knees. My eyes were shut and the blackness felt comfortable. Safe. My arms encircled my legs. I wanted to scream. To shout at the sky, pour my heart out. But my lips stayed sealed. I couldn't even utter a sigh. I wanted to go home. Loneliness never felt so desperate as now. After what felt like hours, a hand touched my naked back. Levi came to get me. I was naked, but I didn't react. I wanted to stay in this shell I created for myself. "Dove." I whipped my head up and stared in the eyes of Adrian, who stood in front of me. I didn't say anything. Adrian stood in front of me. Alive. Breathing. He bent down and sat on his knees in front of me. "Don't go all depressed on m
I opened the door further. Adrian turned around to me, his face a blank mask. Icy. His eyes were mostly black and it reminded me of Levi. I chose not to say a thing. He gave me the same peace. He turned around again to the door and opened it. Waiting for me, he stared at the wall opposite of it."Your clothes are wet." I said whilst walking closer to him. "I really don't care, dove. Let's go to our room. I need you to stay there for a while." He said in a faraway voice. When I reached him, he turned around and walked out the room, where multiple servants immediately bowed. Walking behind him, I noticed the strange stares and the whispers. "He is alive." "It's a miracle." "The king. He lives." "He is the almighty." "What is he doing with his human?" "I heard the human poisoned him." "The human went to King Leviathan. I saw them together." "King Leviathan announced her as his human." "He drank her blood." With every whisper, I felt worse and Adrian tensed more and more. By the
Waiting once again by Asta, I looked around at all the demons gathering their stuff to head back to the list realm. Warrior was by my feet, and he was big enough that I could pet him whilst standing. His big black head rested against my leg and he panted softly. "You're a good boy. You want to live with me from now on?" I whispered to Warrior, who looked up at me with cute folded ears. I didn't see Levi or Micah anywhere. Scanning the crowd constantly, I felt safe with Asta and Warrior. What if Levi came back? Luzo was nowhere to be seen. I wanted to hug her, comfort her, cry with her. The sound of stamping hooves alerted me. I looked up and saw Adrian coming towards me with the reins of an enormous black horse in his hand. The horse was beautiful, it looked manly and had one snow white right foot. I looked at Asta. Was he getting rid of her? "Is Asta not manly enough for you?" I joked when he reached me. "Asta is very manly. This however, is not my horse." He responded whilst poin
The partners of Adrian appeared next to him on their own horses. I smiled at them and Ren pushed his horse forwards, next to me. "How are you feeling?" He asked me. The question was not expected from a demon, and I appreciated it. Forcing my weak feelings down, I looked at Ren kindly. "I'm fine, Ren. I'm looking forward to beating you later on." I responded with a smile. He laughed. "This is going to be so exciting." He said with glee. He eyed Dracula with interest. "Nice horse. Bit too big for you?" The question made me look at him. "I've handled bigger," I said with my chin up high, making Ren laugh more. We walked side by side and I felt the anxiety leaving me the further we walked away from Samael's castle. I hoped to never see Adrian's brothers again. Levi wouldn't be kind to me when he saw me again. The thought of it made my skin crawl. My chance of revenge was over for now, but maybe it was good that we left. Maybe it was a silly idea to get revenge on a demon king. Somewhere
After a few hours, we stopped to camp and had some food. Everybody eyed Adrian like he was some god and they all bowed lower than normal. Some even came to him to hand him gifts they made or bought. "Hey, Elle." Someone softly said next to me. I turned around to find Luzo looking at me with a regretful expression. "Luzo! Oh my god, are you okay?" I hugged her fiercely. Her arms encircled me in return. "Did you save Adrian?" I whispered to her. She froze a bit, presumably because I didn't say 'the king' but after a second, she nodded against my shoulder. "I didn't think he was going to make it. Nobody knows, Elle. Tell no one. If someone figures out he was very sick, it might start an uprising." She whispered in my ear. I nodded at her. A weak king is a dead king. "Thank you, Luzo. For a moment, I really thought my life was over." I said to her with my hands around hers. She nodded and smiled. "Aklan?" I asked her. Sadness overcame me. She shook her head. "He didn't make it. I took
