The steps look steep. It looks like I might slip if I am not careful. I held the handle tight and slowly got down the stairs. I suddenly can smell a faint rotten smell from the kitchen. The aura from that room is scaring me.Still, for some reason, my body is unable to stop walking toward that side. I reached the entrance of the room and the stench became stronger.What the hell is even this smell?"Is anyone there?" I spoke... wait? I spoke??? How the hell can I speak?"Ahh...hmm...shhh...mmm... Ril... Zia... Will, Oh my god! I can speak... How can I even speak?""Wait... I need to relax first" The smell is coming out strong.I walked inside with small steps. Likewise, I saw a small sparkle in the dark, a little more inside the room."Who?""---"They didn't reply, but I can hear the panting and the breathing sounds of something. There definitely is someone here. Should I go wake up Ril just in case?Just when I was about to turn back, I heard a sound. The sounds of bells. Oh boy, th
"So, is the demon looking at you?"[He avoided the topic. I should feel relieved, but somehow I am feeling irritated.][I felt like he was looking at me. Straight in my eyes. Like we locked our eyes at one point]"So, have you heard any more sounds?"[I don't know. I don't remember. I was just so afraid that my legs and brain stopped working. The only thing my brain remembered is ---]----Ril!---I remember calling Ril at that point. When I was in danger. I without hesitation thought that he would come and save me. Why is that?"Focus and remember"He is stubborn!But I just as he told me. I closed my eyes. I am trying to remember it. The cold and dark place.The demon's mouth is filled with the meat and blood of a person. The deep red eyes stared at me.I remember a faint sound of a cry. Who?Now that I start to remember clearly. The demon was looking at me because I was standing in front of him, but a silent cry came from my back. So the one he was seeing was not me, but the perso
We, I mean they, I am just resting in Ril's arms. They passed the large river quickly, but Ril managed to make me collect some water without the vampires looking.He is a very good person. Sometimes when I am in his arms, I just feel like I need to snuggle into his sharp no strong? I can't exactly say the word, but his body. I just need his cold warmth."Do it then!" Ril whispered in my ears.Damn! I forgot again.I closed my eyes, cupping them with my hands. It is so embarrassing. I can hear him chuckling. I opened my eyes and saw the other people are so surprised looking at RIl, but why?"Did you see that 2nd brother?" Gifud asked Gicep."I am afraid to say that I saw it clearly" He replied.So, he never laughed in front of them? In all the 1600 etc. years of his life? Does that also mean that he will only smile for me?What is this amazing feeling I am getting?"Rag is totally in love" Pajim spoke so loudly that I had to see rag's face which is so red from all the blush. This must b
Surely, we are all standing alone on huge rocks waiting for opponents to start a battle and win and move out of this forest. Does that sound entertaining to him?Ril's expression is as blank as always I don't know what exactly are his feelings about this match and entertainment thing.But I can see clearly all the stages with every vampire on different rocks. He is giving a clear view of everyone. Although he is a fog. He is a wicked and insane fog."Welcome to the entertainment show of Mesro forest. Today, I bring you battles for your enjoyment. On one side---" He is blabbing on. But for whom? There are none here. I thought and turned around, and many creatures are resting in a way as if they are like an audience. They weren't here just a moment ago. They look like antelope, but their legs are human. It would have been nicer if it was the opposite. Damn! What kind of weird things I am seeing in this world?*sigh*"There will be three rounds. Qualifying, semi-finals, and finals. The o
"Heh, so easy" Rag spoke."In your dreams" Pajim replied as they held hands together for the wrestling match."Ready...set...go" The forest spirit spoke.And in a second the force created in between their hands by their strength caused the roots to come out of the ground. The air just flew away.They are strong.Ril was calm. His face has no moment or change. His expression is blank as always.[What are you thinking?]He looked at me and didn't speak a word, and turned around to their side. What is wrong with him? Is he ignoring me now?[Talk to me!]He didn't even look at me.[Hey!]He chuckled a little. Well...he is teasing me again. I am not falling for that."And the winner is Rag" The forest spirit announced.Oh, I missed the match."And the next round ---"--------Again it continued for a while before the last one came into the picture that is Ril."The last and final round of the semifinals will be happening between Lord Ril and his second brother Gicep"Can't he put me down e
"Well, aren't you both a couple?" He asked doubtfully as I moved my face away when Ril came close to my face."Well, my PARTNER is just shy" Ril spoke as I glared at him.[What the hell are you doing?]"Don't you want to leave this forest?"[b--but]"Shut up"He is coming close to my face.[I can't do this when everyone is looking at me!]What the hell did I just blurt? I closed my mouth. Although they are MY thoughts. Am I okay if there is none? Am I going crazy because his kiss felt so good before?[No...no...no, I take that back]"Well, my partner is so shy that she can't do this when we have this many eyes on us," he said and looked at the forest spirit."Ahem, well, we can't put the lady on the spot then..." The forest spirit spoke.Huff... I guess that's it.Ril suddenly held my chin with his hand.[What are--]He suddenly pulled me into a kiss.[what--]He is not using his tongue like before. He was just pecking again and again, but it still feels so weird like something is in
[That's not what I meant]He didn't really have to say it like that. It's not like I am too carefree about my situation. Of course, I am afraid about everyone finding out about me. But I don't want Ril to accept some absurd request of Nagki because of me."Let's sleep"[Huh?]He caught my hand and pulled me onto the bed. Why does he always do this?I am close to his face. He closed his eyes. He has long eyelashes. His lips are a little red, like the light shade of blood. His nose is looking sharp, but is it? I moved my hand a little, trying to touch it---"What are you doing?" He asked. I was so focussed on his nose that I didn't see that his eyes are wide open.[th--there is something on your nose]He turned me around and kneeled on top of me while holding my both hands together on top of my head."I am the type of man who cannot resist the urge to touch the person I have in my heart"H--h---h---h---heart?"Don't provoke me. You are just a kid" He said and laid down beside me quickly
I opened my eyes and I felt like I am a little too high from the ground and also from the bed. And the bed feels soft suddenly. I pressed it again and again while my eyes are still half closed."Had a good night's sleep?" I heard Ril's voice.I woke up completely and my face was very close to his face as I was on top of him."Now if you stop groping me and go fresh up, we can go out because the wedding will start soon"My words are stuck. I was groping him. I was on top of him. I slowly got down from the bed without a word and ran into the washroom, so quickly, and closed the door.I am so embarrassed. Furthermore, I really pressed on his chest. I closed my face with shyness. But he was really soft. Ah... I never felt something like this, so what should I call this?---------I came out after like an hour later after I ran inside the washroom. I wore my simple white dress as usual. White is a comforting color, so I always wear white. This is a white laced and net gown that is up to my
I have to tell Will! I have to wake him up. I moved a little and tried to place my hand on him to shake him, but before I can touch him my mother stopped me."What are you doing, Zia?"Huh?I have to tell Will! And I have to tell mom that...but I don't have my book, how can I tell her?"He won't let you come with me if he wakes up, so let's go quietly. I don't want to be separated from you again," Her eyes started tearing up. This is the first time in my life I have ever seen tears in my eyes. She was the strongest I had ever seen. She is my hero. Furthermore, she never ever cried in front of me.Likewise, she must have really missed me to see tears in her eyes.Okay, mother, I won't inform anyone. I will always stay with you.She pulled my hand and I followed her quietly. How many years has it been since she caught my hand, and we walked together like this?Her warm hand. I missed this so much."Let's pick some berries," She said excitedly. Her hand looks so pale, like a blood-draine
Next, he showed me through many rooms which I honestly can't remember the way or the names, but every room he has shown me is enormous and filled with jewels. Every room shows the luxury they are living in. The luxury they took away from the helpless people."This is the last room," He said and opened the door.!!Everything was floating in the room. Except for a small table in the middle with a crystal ball on it. It looks like crystal with deep blue color. I tried to step inside, but the butler didn't say anything to stop me. Maybe, this room is fine to enter then.I walked inside and all the chairs, tables, books, the mat everything is floating in the air except this table.I touched the table, which is filled with dust. The crystal ball looked so mesmerizing. It was glowing, so as my eyes. It is pulling me towards it. I have never seen something that looks so beautiful. I feel like the ball is telling me to touch it.And I am unable to stop my mind or body. I slowly moved my hands
"You must have the nerve to not respond when I call you," Kade said angrily, looking straight into my eyes.When did he come so close to my face?I jerked and moved back, which made me fall down."She can't speak, lord" The butler replied.All the eyes in front of me were looking down on me. Eyes of a hunter looking at his prey. I wanted to stand up, but my hands started trembling.When did I become so weak? From when?*Pfft*I heard someone laughing."A human that can't talk? Then she can't shout or snitch on us if we hurt her secretly behind lord's back, right?" made spoke as he is laughing."No, it's not fun to hunt prey who can't scream in fear" Simin replied with a small chuckle."That's true too. The excitement of killing the one who screams as loud as it can when I am running behind it tearing it limb to limb is just so amazing" Kade spoke.Those words are not just a bluff. I can see the excitement in his eyes as he is speaking it. He definitely did it before. He killed someone
"Looks like you met her already" The demon king's voice echoed enough to bring everyone back to their feet. They fear him and it is clearly visible."Lord, she--""That's right, a human," He said with a small smile."How is a human alive?""How did she end up here?""Then can we eat her?""Even so she is skinny, she is a real deal" His red eyes were full of hunger that they were glowing. It made me tremble down my spine."No, you must not eat her because she is my pet," He said with a smile, patting my head."What a pet?!"Everyone's eyes shifted toward me. While the butler was still standing in front of me, I slowly slid to the back of him.I heard a slight chuckle and I know exactly who is laughing. I turned towards the demon king and yes, he was laughing while looking at me and I can't even get angry because he can slice my head so easily and feed it to all these demons standing in front of me."How did she get here?""It's a small gift presented to me" he looked at me smiling"I w
"Did you like it human?"It's the demon king. What is he doing in my room? I should quickly get up, otherwise, he might get angry and kill me."You can't right" I can hear him whispering that right at my ear."This is an exceptional bed" His voice is ringing in my ears."It makes you sleep with full consciousness, and you can't even move...isn't it the best?"I really want to get up... I am scared.My eyes are closed, so I don't know what he is doing, and it scares me more.I slightly felt his touch on my hand... he slowly slid down from my shoulder to my wrist. What is he doing?"You are too skinny to eat just yet"Damn... it's a good thing that I don't have any meat.He suddenly pulled me up by my wrist and I finally could open my eyes. The time I opened my eyes, I was right in front of his face, where he was staring deep into my soul with red eyes. He is looking at me so sharply that I feel awkward."Get some meat fast... I mean in your body," He said, and soon the butler entered t
*huff*"That's not an actual reason, dumbass"Dumb??? It's not dumb!"You look stupid. Are all humans the same?"What's with him? He called me a dumbass before and now stupid, and still, I can't get angry at him. Otherwise, he will snap my neck into two."Hahaha" He laughed hard."You are too small and can't talk, and you stink. Your blood is not giving me a smell, and you are too skinny to eat. You are not worth anything, so I don't have any reason to spare you"What?!!!He will kill me. My body started trembling again. I don't want to die. I don't"BUT--- You are the first actual human I have seen in all my life I have ever lived and THAT is amusing, so I give you a chance to prove yourself to me. Be my pet and prove your worth. One wrong move and your body will be in my dinner table the next moment... So... Dying right now, or living as my pet? What do you choose?"It is not actually a question. His eyes are telling me to accept whatever it is. Like an order. The latter one. It is
As I open my eyes, I see myself lying on the ground with bare feet. There is nothing but the cold, hard ground beneath my feet. Standing up was the first thing I did when I panicked. My eyes are able to see everything despite the darkness. I started looking all around. It looks like a large hall. There is one chair in front of me.me.in front me. Very large chair. Like a throne. A 5-me can fit in there. Dark black feathers accompanying swords stuck to the back of the chair. It looks scary yet beautiful and comfortable. It is empty. Everywhere is empty. The hall is empty! And the silence is just so horrifying. Just where am I? I suddenly started remembering things in bits. I was on a date with RIl. He suddenly said he could feel the presence of a demon. He hurried to hold my hand to walk me back home but... Ahh... my head hurts. Someone caught me from behind and in front of my eyes I saw the expression of Ril which I had never seen before as I fainted. The terrified eyes also have a
Ril bought two paper lanterns and handed me one."I never imagined I would do something like this in my life. How childish"[Do you have vessa?]He snapped his fingers and took one out of the air and gave it to me."What are you doing?"[We are leaving them in the air, so if I write a wish on this it will directly reach the angels, and they will grant it]"Heh, angels? Those bastards won't"[Don't speak like that]I wrote my wish on the back and looked at him while I observed that he is already looking at me.[What are you looking at?]"Is that your wish?"[What's wrong with that?]"I thought you would like something more like you want to go back home," He said and looked at the wish I wrote.I wrote that'I wish everyone I know, the people I love living on the other side, should be healthy and happy and not worry about me.'It is the same as telling you that I won't back, isn't it?I looked at Ril.[Why did I write this?]He didn't speak a word.Maybe because I got habituated here? Ri
"I will be waiting outside" He spoke as he left the room. It's finally festival day. Ril wore pure white clothes on which I made Obito design red roses which is giving it a very royal look. He looks so handsome, and I couldn't take my eyes off him when he appeared before me in that dress. He is hot.Ahem. I need to focus.I made Obito create a long green dress for me. It has a small green stone that is obtained from a stone called Pev rock. It shines bright with a green stone which looks like a diamond but is very cheap because it can be found almost everywhere.The dress has a little shine to it because of the glittery design of green leaves design. The loose hands have a shiny cloth that almost feels like silk, but it isn't instead it's a cloth obtained from a monster's skin.This dress actually fit me very tight showing my curves which is making me uncomfortable. I clearly remember writing my sizes a little high because I like dressing on a freeway.The zip on the back is making me
