"Lucas.." Her breath hitched when she felt his lips graze across her skin.
"Hmm?" He answered absentmindedly, distracted by the veins and blood flowing inside her neck. He hit his other hand on the wall, gripping his fist tightly.
'Why was it so hard to resist?.' He thought in his mind.
Lisa immediately came back to her senses when she heard Lucas hit the wall beside her. What worried her the most was that his eyes were closed and he wasn't saying anything.
"Lucas are you alright?" She asked him hastily and she received a growl from him.
He pulled back and held his mouth, covering it from her view.
"You need to go, now!." He ordered her and she shook her head in denial.
"I'm not going to leave you like this"
Even though she was in a tight spot, she stood firm in her decision. She didn't know what was wrong with him, but she knew he needed her.
Lucas finally opened his eyes and Lisa gasped in shock.
'Why were they red?'
Lucas could feel his gums itching and his fangs wanting to come out and Lisa wasn't making it one bit easier.
'This girl..' He gritted his teeth in frustration. He was sure that once she saw his eyes, she will finally leave but instead, she was here looking at him curiously.
"You're eyes are red" She stated.
"I know that"He answered back smirking.
Shocking him, she tiptoed and wrapped her hands around his neck, hugging him.
"Don't worry Lucas, I'm not scared" She told him, her voice coming out muffled due to the position she was in.
Not having any choice he hesitantly hugged her back, feeling her small frame against his body.
"But your heart says otherwise" He said, hearing her racing heart that remained in a frenzy.
"I know that" She replied using the same words he said to her and he smiled, pulling back from the hug that had calmed him a lot. His fangs had also gone back.
A yawn escaped her lips and he said" Go and sleep I'll be alright."
"You sure about that?"She asked him suspiciously and he answered.
"Absolutely."
He bent a little and pecked her forehead making her blush.
"I'll go now" She quickly left and tucked herself in bed, shutting her eyes immediately.
After making sure that she had slept he left the room.
Back in the drawing room...
"I've had it Jiama, I'm fucking tired!" Alex growled in anger.
Jiama who was known as Joana quickly opened the door and checked the hallways before coming back inside and shutting it tight.
"Are you sick in the head, what if someone had heard you!" She whispered to Alex who rolled his eyes at her comment.
"Didn't you see it, that arrogant bastard is smarter than we thought, don't underestimate him."
"I know that Azazel, that's why we were sent here." It was now Jiama's turn to roll her eyes.
"How much longer, and any word from Laurence?." He asked, constantly checking his surroundings.
"Not yet, but it seems like-" She answered but got interrupted, when someone in the room cleared his throat.
"A witch and a demon...how surprising." The sarcasm was clear in the tone of the intruder.
Jiama became alert and looked around to see who was there, but the room was empty except for herself and Alex.
The same couldn't be said for Alex because his face became pale, as he had recognised the owner of the voice, without need to see the person face to face.
The intruder finally made his presence known, standing directly in front of them and Jiama scrambled backwards almost falling in the process.
Jiama was sure that she put a powerful spell around the room to prevent demons, so how did prince Lucas get in?.
"Please sit down, I won't want you dying.." He smiled, scaring the corrupt souls in their body.
"Not yet."He continued and stretched his hands.
"So let's get this over with, how do you want to die?."
Both Alex and Jiama were too stunned to speak, wondering if they probably misheard him.
"It's actually everything personal, anyone that is a threat to Lisa is an enemy, I am her guardian after all." He said while removing the black gloves on his hands that he usually wore.
Lucas knew that his thirst for blood had reached its peak and he let his fangs come out before he slid his tongue across one of it giving, drawing a little amount of blood from it.
'Finally..'
Only Alex and Jiama knew how scary he looked right now.
All this while, Jiama had been whispering a spell and she finally finished, throwing the purple coloured ball at him.
Lucas who expected this, caught the purple coloured ball and squashed it easily.
Jiama stepped back in horror, staring at the blood dripping from his hand. Even ancient demons would have had difficulty in stopping that.
When Lucas saw Jiama's face he chuckled darkly."Did you think something so silly will stop me?." Though his hand was bleeding, that meant little or nothing to him. In blinding speed, he appeared to Jiama and held her neck, savouring the precious look on her face.
'Fear..'
"What..what are you?"She stuttered in fear.
"I'm something different" He whispered to her and slowly dipped his hand in her chest, bringing the filthy heart out. The sight brought him emense joy.
Leaving her neck, the body fell on the ground and took its original appearance, changing into a person with swiveled skin that was grey in colour and the tongue long as a snake's tongue.
He dropped the heart on the floor and stomped on it making it burst. The satisfaction was evident in his eyes as he watched it. Hearing footsteps behind him, he didn't bother to turn and stood, pretending to let his guard down.
Alex had somehow snuck up behind Lucas holding a dagger in his hand and plunged the dagger from behind aiming at Lucas's back. He smiled happily when the dagger touched Lucas's back but instantly paled when he saw what happened next.
"How..how?."
