Chapter 4 - The demo hunt

" Sandré ! M back ! " I searched for him when I reached home . He didn't seem to be here .

I really wanted to help the girl named Miracle . She didn't know what mess she got into . The demons are worst than foes . They kill you little by little , until you are not even left with fear to drown in . They squeeze every single part of your happiness , every part of your soul that begs to survive .

That filthy creature has only left few minutes of existence.

I went to my store room , opening my old wooden cupboard, it has been month I guess , I haven't opened the door since then , So it was all accumulated with dust . I took out my amethyst crystalled sword, from the door inside the cupboard.

I heard sandré , " it has already been dusk , where were you ?" He simply sat on the floor tilting his head a little looking at the sword in my hand .

" Demon hunt !" I told him .

He gave me a nod and looked at me again to explain . " I need your -" before I could finish my words , he bit his paw making the blood drop on the sword .

He questioningly looked at me again . I know he was nervous . But it wasn't my first time killing a demon .

But i have heard from valentine , that the serpent demons trick and manipulate people .

Sandré put his little paw on my foot , he was asking if he could join me .

" I don't mind, but I don't wanna put you into any risk ." He was dissatisfied .

But I was scared , both for him and me .

Sandré is very protective of me , and that scares me the most . He literally could kill someone or die for me .

My hands were already shaking . I really could just give up now , saying that it's none of my business , but I want that girl to be free , she has suffered a lot . I want to see her family smile . They have already been through a lot .

I have already asked where jeneth lives , so it wouldn't be hard for me to find miracles home , as they both live next door to each other .

Before heading out the door . I sighed heavily , knowing , it's not one mans call .

I looked back , " I am afraid !"

Sandré glanced at the clock . And licked his paw , where he bit himself earlier .

" Wanna take sometime ?" I asked settling near the sofa . He peeked outside the window .

Minutes later , I saw him turning into a handsome young lad , with his eyes still intact - emerald , his ears pointed like an elf's . He pulled up the cover , lying next to his naked body , which i threw at him earlier .

" stop looking !" He yelled while blushing and threw a couch at me .

" its not like , you got a brilliant body !" I told him while turning my head , and rolled my eyes .

After a few seconds , he said in a low husky voice - "okay !" I turned back to see him standing and pouting , while his fair cheeks already red . His body glistened white under the faint moonlight coming in through the window .

He looked outside the window avoiding my eyes .

" C'mon ! It's not the first time ! " i complained .

" But it's still awkward with a girl around !" He said .

" want me to make it more embarrassing? ... you look sexy baby !" I said in a low lust voice .

He pushed back his lustrous golden black hair with his long marble colored fingers .

" Shut up ! EOS ! Besides we only have four hours , before the Orion belt disappears ! I have to get back to my tomb !"

" okay ! Let's hurry then !"

We headed in my Bugatti , while we were in the car , he seemed uncomfortable , " what is it ?" I asked , my eyes still on the road .

" I hate this low fabric ! But me some new clothes , the ones with silk !" He complained .

spoiled rich brat !

"Valentine , will kill us both !" I turned left . " C'mon she earns millions in a day !"

I looked at him , " shut up !"

" what is it ! We are dealing with !" He asked after several minutes , his tone changed .

" you'll find soon !" He hates serpent demons . Old rivalry!

As soon as I stopped the car , he rushed in front of the house , observing it , his long legs in black jeans made him seem more taller and the black shirt with it , yells that , its his color . he sniffed and gagged ," I can smell , dirt and mud !" He incensed , and scrunched his nose with annoyance .

" it's a serpent demon ! " I told him , hiding the sword behind my back.

" As expected !" He looked really really annoyed .

he walked towards the door , " what are you doing Sandré ?" I whispered lightly.

" I can't stand such creatures anymore , try parting him from the girls body , and push the sword , covered in my blood , straight through his heart ! "

and then I noticed him smirking ," easy kill !"

I agreed with him , but he really looked pissed , for some reason .

He ringed the bell , and Miracle walked out the door , she looked at me and then Sandré , and her eyes never left him .

It wasn't that ,she was dazzled by his beauty , but because the serpent looked through her eyes . I walled up in between them .

" Hi !" Was all I could manage to think . " What do you want ?" The evil spirit talked through her .

And then she eyed Sandré again , with disgust , the feelings were mutual on both the sides . " why is there a Royal illegitimate?" She scoffed at him . The serpent was trying to get under Sandrés skin , spiting at him through his wicked eyes.

I was afraid , for Sandrés reaction , but he remained calm and neutral ,"I'll beat thee , but I am too afraid , I would infect myself !" He spoke in his dominant magical voice .

i could hear them , roaring at each other .

" why are you doing this to her family ?" I asked , changing the atmosphere.

" I am not domesticated to answer you , besides ruining people is all I do !" She laughed and continued ," don't worry! cat-lady , I am only a guest here, for three more days !" And winked at me playfully.

I can hear Sandrés heavy breathes on my spine , he didn't liked the way the demon spoke .

" what you mean ?" I enquired , backing a little , so that I touch Sandrés chest , cooling his anger , and it decreased slowly .

I didn't get an answer but a smirk .

Then within a split second , Sandré pushed the girls body on the front yard . He didn't even care if she was a girl, and held her by her neck .

" NEXT TIME YOU UTTER A WORD ? ... SPEAK WITH RESPECT !

I DONT CARE , IF YOU CAME FROM HELL , IF I TRIED SHOWING YOU MY WORLD , I AM SURE , YOU'LL NOT LIKE EVEN A SECOND OF THAT ! " he scoffed then and continued in the girls ear ," AND Honey , i'll make sure of that !"

The serpent just stared at him .

" Empty threats my boy !" He wasn't giving up soon I guess .

the demon hissed his tongue at Sandré ,

shit !

" sandré !" I screamed . The demons tongue made a cut at Sandrés neck .

He fall on the ground , moving with pain .

I took my sword out , and placed at his neck .

" suck the poison out! NOW !" I pushed the sword towards his neck .

" easy ! Easy ! " the serpent said .

" suck it out !" I ordered him .

Sandré squelched in pain .

" EOS !" His voice was failing him .

" EOS !" He screamed again .

" I am right next to you !" I conforted him .

" I .... I am .... EOS !! " he shouted again .

" suck the poison out ! I am telling you last time !"

" then , promise me you'll give me one life in return !" He sighed .

" whose life is it ? That you want ?" I asked impatiently.

he looked at Sandré . " Don't you dare !"

" Cool down ! I'll let you know soon .. Deal ?"

"Deal !"

As soon as he left the girls body to suck the poisonous blood from Sandrés neck . I parted his head , from his body .

I could see , his cringy and disgusted smile on his face . 'It doesnt go away !" He mouthed .

I kicked his head and rushed towards

Sandré, " are you alright ?" I confirmed .

He nodded several times .

i checked the watch .

One and a hour left !

I hugged him , tightly .

"I was afraid !" I told him .

" stop crying !" He sighed , hugging me back .

After a while we headed towards our car . And miracle woke up from the ground , she looked confused , but then headed inside .

Reaching home , he grabbed my hand .

" let's walk a little ...okay ?" He said .

"But your neck !"

" don't worry , it will be healed soon ,besides the poison is not there anymore !" He smiled , showing off his little fangs .

I nodded .
