All Bev could do now is run. Run and just hope that he could somehow be faster than them or that he'd come across a cave or a hole of some sort to hide in. If he got caught, maybe they'd let him live.
Unfortunately, having just been born, his body was still a little shaky and weak. It wasn't long before his pursuer caught up.
Bev wrist was tightly grabbed as he was dragged out to the clearing.

Jareth's second in command Harel watched as his childhood friend dragged a naked boy out of the woods. From the markings on his back and the horns on his head, he could easily tell that it was just an immature lesser incubus. Not only is this not the queen but he doesn't even qualify as a kidnapper. All they specialize is in weak hypnotism and sex. It is said that the original Succubi that existed back when the Demon Realm came to be had unimaginable strength but after mixing their bloodlines with the demons they fed on their strength weakened to the point that they now get by by working in demon brothels being kept or working under the king as interrogators. No one looks down on them. We all need to get by somehow, even the cannibalistic species can be seen around the streets eating any unattended corpse.
Harel quickly noticed that many of the men around him, especially the younger ones, kept stealing glances at his naked body. Some even blatantly staring. As much as he wanted to correct them, not was not the time so for now he walked over to his warhorse and grabbed a spare undershirt and tossed it to his commander once he approached close enough.
Once the boy was covered the questioning started.
"Who are you?"
The incubus was wide eyed and shaking as he looked around trying to avoid the question. Although cute, now was not the time to be soft. This boy's answers could decide the fate of the world. Cracks were already showing in the barriers keeping all 3 realms apart.
"Well? Answer me."
While stuttering, the boy answered.
"Um it's uh Sil—"
"Cyll is it?" A barely noticeable smile flashed on Jareth's face. That's his baby cousin's name.
"Y-y-yes sir!"
"Alright now, what were you doing in these woods? While you were hear did you see or hear anything or anyone?"
"Uhm I was just looking for my dog. He ran off and I chased after him but then I got lost a while ago and ended up here. As for your other question, I haven't seen anyone. You people are the first living beings I've seen for weeks.Well, besides my dog. By the time I got to this clearing you and your men were already here. Did something happen? Do you need my help?"
"No, there's no need."
Jareth didn't know what to do. He had no clue where to even start looking. Perhaps she's making her way back to the castle by herself now and they just happened to miss her. If he couldn't find her soon, the King would have his head!
Before heading back he made an offer to the little incubus.
"Since you're out here alone, would you like to head back to the demon world with us? We can drop you off at the brothel and I'm sure they'd house you for now."
No one felt that there was anything wrong with his words but for some reason a look of horror appeared on his face.
"No! No I'm fine. I still need to look for my dog!"
"Alright then. Well, I wish you good luck finding your dog. Unfortunately we're in a bit of a rush so we cant stay any longer. Have a good night."
"Yes you too!"
Everyone began to retreat back to their horses as a pained grunt was heard from behind him.
Looking back he saw one of his men next to the boy hold his side. He couldn't help but chuckle. That idiot must of messed with the little incubus a bit and got punished by him.
"Thalyth! Stop fooling around and get ready!"
As they ran into the forest again he looked back at his soldier. He was still hold his side with a distracted expression.
"Again! Thalyth! Stop exaggerating and focus or I'll punish your ass when we get back!"
"Yes Sir."
Little do they know that little incubus broke three of his ribs and ruptured his liver. Luckily demons have superb healing or else he would of bled out by now.
Thalyth had some doubts but after his commander's order he quickly put it aside and focused on the mission.
