SAVE ME

Damien strode out of the demon realm as he was in a foul mood after Laura’s visit.

He didn’t want to be around anybody or see anyone so he’d walked deep into the woods but then..

“Oh, Damien?”Alexa called. She was picking some fruits in the forest.

On seeing her, his shield suddenly dissolved as he rushed to hug her.

“You don’t know…. how glad I am to see you”He said slowly.

Alexa was taken aback by the hug but then suddenly hugged him back.

He needed comfort right now and she was going to help him the best way she could.

As they strode together down the forest, Draco, a little elf sighted them and ran all the way to the elf realm in shock.

He had to spread the news. Something unpredictable was happening.

“Guys, I just saw something. Follow me”Draco called out to his people.

Amanda and Stella otherwise known as”the gossip girls” were the first to respond to his call.

“What is it?”Amanda asked.

“I think…. the end of the world is near”Draco said shivering in shock.

“What?”Stella said in disbelief.

“I just saw the demon lord and an angel… in… love”

“YOU SAW WHO!!!?”Amanda and Stella chorused in unison.

Back in the forest, Alexa picked up an apple from her basket and handed it to Damien.

“Here”

Damien took it “Thank you “. As the apple landed in his hand, it suddenly changed color and started to rotten .

“Oops”he said with an apologetic gesture on his face.

Alexa laughed as she took the apple from his hand. The color came back and she moved it to his mouth.

“I guess I’ll have to feed it to you then”

Damien opened his mouth and ate the apple from her hand.

It was a whole new experience to him. Someone feeding him, the great demon lord.

But nonetheless, he was enjoying it.

“Where were you going?”Damien asked her.

“Ah, I was going to see Warren. I think Josty sneaked into the dragon realm to see him last night. She was absent from roll call this morning and you? What happened to you?”

Damien didn’t know of he was to voice it. If she had to go see her friend, it would mean he wouldn’t see her today.

He didn’t know if it was right to say what he wanted to say despite pretending to be on the love potion spell.

But it was natural to be selfish.

Damien held her hands as he pulled her close to him”Please.. can you stay with me today?”

It was his first time saying”please” and his first tie requesting something.

But he needed her right now to make him feel better.

Alexa stared into Damien’s eyes as her heart started pounding.

“Oh My! This is huge”Amanda squealed.

“Tell me about it”Stella countered”Hey, it looks like we’ll be busy the whole day. Shall we go get some popcorn?”

“Of course”Amanda jumped”Hold on, where’s Draco?”

Both girls saw Draco who had passed out on the ground from the unbelievable sight who slowly muttered”It’s truly is the end of the world”

Meanwhile in the vampire realm, Laura had broken the news to Faren who broke into a smile.

“So that angel is Damien’s weakness”he said slowly but then his smile faded as he recalled their last encounter.

How was he going to get to her. She’d last turned his haven upside down.

“If you’re too chicken to do anything then you can just stay back. I’ll take care of her”Laura said reading his mind.

“Too chicken?”Faren repeated as he angrily approached Laura. Why does everyone look down on him!?

“I’ll handle her so watch your mouth”

“Two days. I give you two days max or I intervene”

Faren squeezed his face in annoyance”This isn’t even your problem. If you need something else connected to the demon lord , go find your own bait”

“I would love to but she’s the only one there is and that’s what annoys me. Remember, you have two days”

Laura walked out of Faren’s presence and he screamed out his frustration.

“I hate her!!!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You should have been careful while picking your partner”a voice said from the top floor.

Faren watched as the lady figure descended. She was dressed in a red long flay gown and her hair swept the ground.

“When did you get here, Marisol?” He asked.

Marisol was his elder sister. She was faraway from the realm after she’d gotten married.

“Just a while ago”

“You haven’t changed. You still dress like a mourning woman”

“And you still thirst for power when you are just a punny weakling”

Faren rushed over to Marisol and gritted his teeth”Hey”

“What? You started it first”Marisol said cooly with crossed arms.

She looked over the side of his cheeks”You better bandage that up unless you intend telling everyone that you were beaten by the demon lord”

Marisol walked around him “You know one thing I adore about you , brother?”

“I don’t know and don’t want to know”

Marisol smiled”I’ll tell you either way. It’s your courage. You know touching what belongs to Damien would be you digging your grave but yet you still risk it ”

“I guess you can say I picked the right outfit today as I’m a mourning sister”

Faren clenched his fist”Shut up”

“Oh I will after one more thing. Father would be visiting soon. Do something to prove yourself to him and stop trying the most powerful everytime. See you later”

Marisol turned around and she left.

When she was out of sight, Faren let out his pent up anger and punched at the wall so hard his fingers bled.

“Damien…. I promise to get rid of you”he said through clenched teeths

In the dragon realm, Warren paced up and down his room.

He was loosing his mind being placed on this “Leash” and also being in the same room as Josty.

“You’ve been pacing for too long, sit down”Josty said patting a space beside her on the bed for him.

“I’m good”

“I get it, okay. You don’t like me but still sit down ”

Warren squatted infront of Josty. He had no idea his actions were hurting her”It’s not that. It’s just that truthfully, you don’t feel what you feel for me so I can’t recuperate the feelings either”

“Well.. now that I feel this way. Can’t you try even just for a minute?”

Warren suddenly felt his heart thumping as his door was flung open and Anglassia walked in

“What’s she doing here?”Anglassia asked looking at Josty

“Who is she?”Josty asked.

“She’s just lost and speaking of which the last time Alexa came to see me, why did you say she didn’t come?”

“When?”

“Don’t play games, glassia. I know you remember”

Anglassia shrugged her shoulders”I thought she left”

“Well next time, confirm it please”

Feeling unsettled by Josty’s presence, Anglassia pulled warren by the hand”Let’s go for sword practice”

But Josty placed her hand over hers halting her “You are not going anywhere with my man”

Anglassia looked over to Warren with a perplexed look.

“I’m on a leash anyways”

“I know. I asked big brother for his permission so let’s go”

“I’m coming with”Josty said trudging along but Anglassia’s irritation only heightened as she snarled back at her.

“You , stay!”
