They didn't give her a chance to speak as they all rushed towards her trying to get their hands on her.
The ones closest to her had already torn her hands off, painful scream spread across the castle.
And Deva couldn't help but close her ears, as her vision became blurry. She saw figures they were talking, no they were fighting, they were all looking for something but they couldn't find it and then they turned against each other.
"No!.."
Deva screamed her voice seemed like what carried a thousand voices as it echoed throughout the castle.
Slyvian frowned when he heard the scream what had happened to his little rabbit,he quickly flew up to the tower where Deva was hidden.
And saw her clutching her ears, blood was slowly seeping out from her eyes and nose. She looked at Slyvian slowly a tired smile appearing on her lips before she fell unconscious.
"Deva!.."
Slyvian rushed to catch her before her head hit the brick walls he held her in his arms and flew out of the tower.
He quickly carried Deva to Anna, she was a witch doctor and the only person he could trust to save Deva's life.
Anna lived deep within the forest in a cottage hidden from humans eyes except she wanted them to see her they could never find her hiding place.
However Slyvian had seen this cottage before and he knew exactly how to find it.
He increased his speed and soared through the sky like a eagle, the only thing on his mind was to save Deva.
Slyvian eyes lit up a bit when he saw the familiar two trees with the hexagonal markings on it.
He quickly speared through the trees and landed when he has reached an empty space.
He was a lady wearing a pearly white gown, her white and black hair fluttering in the wind.
She looked at the man and beaconed him to follow her and Slyvian swiftly moved hugging Deva tightly.
Was it that witches horrifying scream that had caused her to bleed? No! He shook his head he felt it was something else.
"Who's the lady.."
Anna asked as they walked into the cottage, Anna was a witch but she had grown up with humans so she was considered to be a good witch.
"She's my wife.."
Slyvian placed Deva on the bed and took this handkerchief to wipe the blood off her eyes and mouth. Anna raised her brows in surprise, she had never seen Slyvian this attentive to anyone before especially a woman.
"You really do seem to like her..."
Slyvian placed a hand on Deva forehead, it was burning she seemed to have developed a fever.
"Now tell me how did she fall unconscious.."
Slyvian nodded and relayed his part of the story he didn't know what happened to Deva he had only seen her clutching her ears in pain.
Slyvian hands trembled as his heart raced from both anger and sadness, anger that even tho he vowed to protect her, he still couldn't protect her when she needed him.
Slyvian prayed in his heart to wake up, seeing her like this his heart wasn't calm at all. Instead the beast in him had began to stir itching to kill anyone in its path, itching to kill the ones that had hurt her.
Anna made a simple medicine to reduce Deva temperature and then gave her a potion to make her fever go away.
"Do you know what happened to her..."
Anna shook her head she didn't find anything wrong with her, could it be that this woman had an underlying illness.
"I didn't find anything wrong with her except developing a fever which I've cured.."
Slyvian peered down at Deva, she looked so calm and serene if they couldn't hear her heartbeat one would have thought she passed on.
"Is she going to be okay.."
Slyvian asked as he held her hand,he was used to everything at the palm of his hands not knowing what had caused Deva to be like this, he felt conflicted.
"She's just sleeping, she would be awake very soon.."
Anna turned and left to go heat some warm milk and bread for Deva as she would be very hungry when she wakes up.
Slyvian held Deva hands and stared at her face,her eyes trembling a bit and slowly opened.
Slyvian hands tightened around hers as a wave of relief washed over him.."Lay down..don't get up yet.."
Slyvian said as he used his other hand to push Deva back to the bed, Deva was still weak and even if she wasn't she couldn't resist Slyvian's strength and laid down.
"How are you feeling..."
Deva wanted to speak but she felt like she has loser her voice, her throat felt itchy and dry.
"Water.."
She slowly spoke, her voice was hoarse and dry. Even her lips were parched!
"Wait here I'll go get some water.."
Slyvian stood up and met Anna at the doorway.."Don't scare her.." was all he said before going to get some water for Deva.
"How are you feeling miss.."
Deva turned to the voice and saw a beautiful lady with the rarest hair she had ever seen, she was already a tray of food and walking towards her direction.
"I'm okay thank you.."
Anna smiled and told Deva to sit up after which she placed the tray on her lap.
"My name is Anna I'm a witch doctor and a friend of Slyvian .."
Deva nodded any friend of Slyvian was definitely a good person and would not hurt them.
"I'm Devany nice to meet you.."
Slyvian walked in with the water and passed it to Deva, Deva gave Slyvian a smiled before taking two mouthfuls of water. After drinking the water her throat felt muh better and her voice was back to normal.
"Miss Deva."
"Call me Deva.."
Anna smiled and nodded this little girl was quite lovable she roughly understood why Slyvian liked her.
"Okay..Deva I made this for you, you must be famished.."
