A U R O R A
I stay still tears rolling down my cheeks and thoughts going through my head but I'm unable to focus because I'm scared.
I scream when I see a figure emerge from a tree, "Who are you" his stone face curls into a smile, "I'm your guardian angel" I laugh but stop when I hear the echo, "It's funny, Angel in Dapphion" his stone body laughs shakes too but he isn't bothered about the echo whereas I jumped. "Why are you made of stone" I whisper and move closer.
"Why are you whispering?" He moves closer and whispers back, "Why are you whispering" I whisper, "Because you're whispering" he smiles at my frowned expression, "I'm a Tydoen mother nature's finest creation" I scoff, "They don't exist, a creature that blends with nature doesn't exist"
"What about chameleons?" He places a hand under his stone chin, "They blend with everything" I answer, I almost forget I'm in a realm full of demons and in a forest full of the unknown.
"Let's get you back where it's safe," The Tydeon says, "I still don't know your name" I point out as he lifts me up and places me on his stone shoulders "No one ever wants to know my name" he whispers sadly, "Well I do" I push my black hair to my back, "Rekal" he answers, I position myself properly on his shoulder.
"So where are you taking me to?" I ask to avoid being quiet in the forest, "You'll see" he answers and turns left.
"So when you called yourself my guardian angel were you serious?" I ask I hear him release a sigh, "Yes, I'll protect you because I'm a Tydeon, we're one of the creatures made to protect" I nod.
I panic when I see the castle come to view, "Please Rekal don't take me back there" he drops me on the floor but holds me when I try to run, "I'm sorry, but Asmodeus is my lord" he looks pained to tell me, "I don't want to go back" I almost start crying, "Has he hurt you?" Somehow that question reminds me of my ex-lover, "No" I answer quietly, "Why are you scared to return back to him?" He leads me to the big gates and nods at the guards to open the gates.
"He is Asmodeus, do you the stories told about him in the human worlds, even the greatest hunters are scared of him and I'm just a--", " You are his mate, his queen he wouldn't dare hurt you" okay, maybe that last part brought me relief a little bit, "He told you I'm his mate?" I ask and he nods "He told only those he trusts".
"It's doesn't change anything, he still a demon a greater demon, he is barbaric and--"
"Oh really?" I gulp when I hear his deep voice behind me, I look around and realize we are in some kind of a throne room, "I am barbaric? Tell me what you know about me" he suddenly moves close to he frowns when he sees I move closer to Rekal, "Leave" he snapped at him, I give Rekal a pleading look, but he leaves.
"You ran away after discovering you arere in Dapphion, tell me where you were running to?" He mocks, "Anywhere is better than here especially with you" why can't I keep my stupid mouth shut, he closes his eyes and I think he's counting one to ten, I take a step back to make back escape.
"Do not even think about it" he growls loudly that I wince, I look outside the window and see dark clouds are beginning to form in the sky, I turn back to him and his full black eyes are staring at me, "Coool" I say staring at the clouds, "You will not leave" he speaks coming closer to me, "You can't be so sure. I have a life on Earth, I have people that will search for me. I have no idea how I got here but my family on Earth will not stop searching for!" I finish with a determined look.
He let out a sadistic laugh, "The life you once knew is gone, the people you claim will look for you are aware you are with me they didn't try to stop me when I took you. You belong to me, you will be my queen, it doesn't matter if you like it or not" he says in a low and daring tone, I almost tremble at the power each word he said has.
"No, y-you can't force me. I'm not scared that you're the t-the lord of Dapphion, I will never stop trying to escape" lies I'm scared "I will lock you up if I have to, do not challenge me Aurora because you won't like the consequences"
"MARY!" He calls after glaring at me, the dark clouds haven't cleared but they don't look like a demon is angry anymore.
A slightly chubby lady comes in with a natural look on her face, "You called my lord?" She bows her head, "Take her to her room don't let her out till I say otherwise," he leaves the room before she gives a reply, she turns to me and her expression changes "come on, let's get you into your room" she pulls me by my elbow.
We pass through lots of halls and portraits but I'm unable to see what are on the walls because I have to keep up with the pace of Mary, for a short woman she has fast legs.
She brings out keys and opens a door, she enters the room while I stand outside she turns when she notices I'm not behind her, "Well? Are you expecting a special invitation" my eyebrows shoot up and I enter eyeing the room, "I have no idea why the Lord will give a human slave a room in his chamber" she mutters as she opens the blind.
With the roll of my eyes, I sit down and look around the room, a big fluffy light blue bed with five pillows, a dresser, a closet, and a bathroom. The walls of the room are the same color as the bed.
"Enjoy your stay," she says sarcastically, I wonder what I ever did to her.
⚕
I lay facing the ceiling until someone burst into the room, "Oh my goodness! It's real! You're real!" I stare at the blonde girl strangely, "Uhh,"
"I'm Korina, Xanthus's sister" she pulls me Into a hug, "I can't believe you exist! We were worried he was going crazy because he has all your pictures hung on the walls. Now I believe you're real. You're so beautiful!" I hug her back.
"Thanks?" I say awkwardly, "I'm sorry if I'm making you awkward! I'm just so happy" at least she's nice, unlike a certain brute she's related to.
"Why are you locked in here" she releases me from her tight grip, "Asmodeus is scared I'll run away" it's awkward to say his name, "Ohh," I suddenly have an idea if I'm planning to escape I should probably know everywhere in Dapphion.
"But I promise not to, please show me around I'm bored out of my mind. I'm willing to learn everything about here since he told me to forget about my life on Earth but I won't if I'm locked in here" I plead she looks at me thoughtfully or maybe that's how she stares at everyone.
"Okay! Let's go!" She drags me by my arm. Maids stop to greet Korina she doesn't pay much attention to them while I politely nod.
We come upon stable "What are we doing here?" She whistles and a boy brings two black horses, "You have horses?" I ask staring at the horses with strangely black eyes almost demonic.
"Yup and they aren't just any type of horses they are demon horse! They only come in one color black with black eyes, they are capable of flying without wings heck you can go through a portal with them. They are only found here in Dapphion. This is part of your tour we are taking the horses with us so you can learn about the town!" She finally takes a breath and smiles at me.
Oh, boy!
