Chapter 11 - Chapter eleven: outrunned by a demon

Charles's pov:

I stopped typing when l heard footsteps approaching my door l immediately knew it was my mom, l quickly closed my laptop and lay on my bed. My mom can't know that l am writing instead of sleeping , she'll be very mad. She entered my room and l pretended to be asleep. She sat beside me and sighed , after staring at me for a while, she kissed me on my forehead and left my room. I got up and continue what l was doing, now where were we _____ the lion kept chasing him and Darius kept running. "Could you please stop being sarcastic right now, and help me out here?" He shouted at his chuckling armour. " Well...the best solution now is to keep running", " what? What do you mean l have to keep running, why don't we just stop running and fight ?" He said aloud. " With the lion chasing you, most of the monsters will back off, because they won't want to offend a king, even though he is just a junior king" said the armour while yawning, " hey, maybe if you haven't realized, my legs are hurting from all this running" said Darius while attacking the lion , he is using his super speed but the lion was able to catch up , ' that was a wrong move" the armour pointed . " What do mean wrong move , should l have let it eat me then" he shouted at him. " You've only succeeded in making it more angry" the armour shouted back, and with that the lion roared loudly and blasted an energy blast with it's horn at him. Which sent Darius flying, causing him to fall hard on the ground. He quickly stood up and attacked it. But the lion kicked him hard and he fell on the ground again. Then all of a sudden, something hit the lion, which sent it flying. Darius looked around and saw a very handsome young man, standing on a tree, the man smiled widely at him. The lion stood up and blasted the tree the young man was standing on. The man flew down and began to fight the lion. " Hey, don't just stand there, keep running" said the armour, " why, shouldn't we help him?" , " He is not helping because he likes you, he is helping because he wants to eat your soul" , Darius eyes grew big, " that demon is a soul eating demon. He wants your soul, and he can't get it if he doesn't kill that lion first." Once the armour said this , Darius looked up and saw the demon sucking up the lion's energy, he was beyond shocked, this is the first time he witness something so brutal. " Hey, wake up, you want to be the next on the menu" the armour shook him. And Darius used his super speed , and ran as far as he could. But after running a while, he hit something hard, he stopped and looked up, only to found the demon in right in front of him. " Why are you running , l'm not going to hurt you " said the demon. The demon took a step closer at him while Darius took a step back and drew out his sword. " Don't move a step closer " he said warningly , " you look just like him" said the demon, "who are you talking about" Said Darius in a serious tone, "your father, you are an exact copy of Derick" said the demon ," you know my father? Who are you?" Darius said while pointing the sword at the demon's throat, " l am a friend of your father", " no you are not , my father never befriended demons and even if he did, it wouldn't be a soul sucking demons like you, so you can stop lying" Darius spouted venomously. " That's right don't fall for his tricks, he just wants to gain your trust so he can have access to your energy " said the armour. The demon looked down at the armour and smirked, " you've got a smart armour right there". " You can hear him", Darius and the armour are surprised to see that the demon can hear the armour, because the armour placed a spell around itself preventing except his chosen host to see his real form or hear his voice. " Do you think that little spell could prevent me from seeing your true form, you are Fin's armour aren't you" said the demon, "what do you want?" Said Darius, ", l want your soul and energy".
