Chereads / The Demoness / Chapter 2 - Chapter 01

Chapter 2 - Chapter 01

It was dark in a forest, my legs were shaking , my feet were hurting. I was running out of breath but I knew that I have to keep running. Take big steps and run fast with my little legs but I have to keep running. I could here voices behind me and they were getting closer but I knew that I have to keep running before they catch me otherwise they'll kill me .

"Keep running, keep running and don't let them catch you ".I kept chanting to myself. I was tired but I knew that I couldn't stop. Not now, not when they were right behind me, not when I could hear their voices, not when I'm close to death.But as I kept running I tripped on a root of a tree I could feel that it was a sprain. I wanted to scream in pain but I held my self otherwise they'll locate me. I tried to make as less noise as possible but they heard the crunching sound of leaves and that's when I knew that they found me.

"Hey she's this side" I heard on of the men shouting. I was stuck. The men were getting closer and closer and I couldn't run anymore.

" Hey little girl"I heard one say behind me and I was startled and shaking. 'No this can't be happening am I going to die now? No I don't want to die,I haven't found my mom yet. ' I thought to myself.

" You made us run a lot but now that you are here you are going to compensate us with your death for wasting our time. "a very sinister voice said. I turned to them and I could see that there was a total of three of them and the one who just spoken was a men with a terrible scar on his face.

" We are going to get a lot of money for killing this girl, it will be a double bonus if we could just sell this girl and say we killed her"a man with a beer belly said. I was really scared and shaking pathetically.

" No we will kill her because if the lord found out about this it's gonna get messy" the last person said shaking his head, I could see that he seemed to be the boss in this small group as the others didn't object.

The one with the scar turned to me and said"Hey little girl why aren't you begging for your life do you want to die? "

"It is really a pity that such a beauty like this will die without her beauty being witnessed when she grows up. Hey Paul isn't the lord the father of this kid. I wonder what she did that the lord would send an order to kill her. It really is a pity. "The fat man said turning to Paul the man with the scar."Such beauty and talent going to waste really is a pity . Heavens sure are jealous of geniuses". Said the scar faced man.

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense. Let's just get this done and over with unlike you single ingrates I don't have all day. "the leader said

I could hear what the men were saying but my mind wasn't in it at all. 'My father send these men to kill me 'I thought. 'Why , what did I do,? Does my father not love me? Why does he want me killed?

"Grab the girl the lord said we should leave deep marks and slash wound on her before killing her" He said. I should have been shouting and begging for my life but I didn't. I should have been scared and crying but I didn't . When the leader used his sword to stab and slash me many times I should have screamed in pain and covered in snout while begging but I didn't because I simply have no energy to. 'No reason to live. I had no reason to live anymore. 'That is the last thing that was on my mind before I felt my vision fading and pain felt absence in my body
