Beatrice's hands shivered as she subconsciously moved away from Zayn in extreme fear. Zayn realized what had happened a little bit late.
"Could she have seen my real form?" he thought to himself.
"My love, what happened?" Nathan asked with concern as he moved closer to Beatrice.
Beatrice's eyes turned cold as ice as she drew out a dagger from her pocket and ran to meet Zayn, slicing his arm with the dagger.
Zayn felt his arm spin from the injury. "What is happening? Is the dagger poisoned?" He thought as he staggered behind.
"He's a demon, a strong one," Beatrice said to Nathan as he drew out his dagger and charged towards Zayn as well.
"I can't fight them back, they are Kylie's parents" Zayn reasoned. "I should run away so no one would get hurt".
Nathan cornered Zayn before he could run away and sliced his upper arm with his dagger causing Zayn to bleed more.
Kylie paced around her room and decided to see what was going on downstairs. She was shocked to see her parents go around Zayn with daggers in their hands.
"What the..." she muttered as she ran to meet them.
"Mom, Dad!!" What's going on here?" She shouted.
"Get inside now!" Beatrice shouted at her and Zayn took advantage of their disorientation to escape.
"He's getting away, Nat" Beatrice exclaimed.
"Let him go, we'll get him some other day," Nathan said, dragging Beatrice and Kylie into the house.
"Are you hurt?" Beatrice kept asking Kylie as she scanned her body.
"What are you talking about Mom?" Kylie replied.
"That friend of yours is a demon," Nathan said.
"What??" Kylie exclaimed. She had been with Zayn today and they almost got intimate, how didn't she realize that he was a demon?
"Stay away from him, okay?" Beatrice said to the lost Kylie.

Zayn kept turning around to make sure no one was following him, he was getting dizzy from the cut. He looked around once more before flying in the air. He crashed into the window of his apartment as he was already spitting blood.
"Arrgh" Zayn groaned as he crawled to the couch. He concentrated all his energy and telepathically summoned his brother. "I need help, Raymon!"

Rafael was walking back home with a smile on his face. Being friends with Zayn wasn't a bad idea after all. He finally got to express his feelings to the girl he liked and even got a kiss in return. He chuckled as he turned the doorknob of his room open only to see an unwanted visitor.
"You look like you've seen a ghost son?" Prime Minister David asked.
"N. No, it's nothing like that" Rafael stammered. "Just that I wasn't expecting you tonight"
"You haven't given me an update about Zayn and the human girl?" "Or perhaps are you busy with something else?" Prime minister asked.
"No Dad," Rafael said with fear. His dad couldn't find out about Vera, at least not yet.
"What harm could selling Zayn and his human fantasy bring?" He thought again. "Selling Zayn out means killing two beds with a stone" he chuckled as he faced his dad.
"Zayn is in love with Kylie, she's the human girl he came to this world for," Rafael said.
"Zayn? A prince in the demon world is in love with a human girl? And his parents let him come here?" Prime Minister David reasoned. "Something doesn't add up here!"
"Find out everything you can about this human girl, Raf," The prime minister said as he whooshed away.

"Hey, that hurts!" Zayn yelled as he swiftly sat up. "Huh! I'm strong again" Zayn said laughing.
"You! Shut up!" Raymon replied as he smacked his head. He came flying to the human world as soon as he got Zayn's distress call.
"What happened to you by the way?" Raymon asked.
"I'm busted!" Zayn said dryly. "Her parents figured I'm a demon"
"What?" "How?" Raymon asked in shock.
"Well, her parents are more vigilant than I had thought, they could see beyond my clothed human body and smell," Zayn said
"That's bad". "Anyways, I should get going and make sure you don't forget your end of the bargain, " Raymon said as he looked at the luxurious apartment of his brother.
"I won't fail you, Raymon "
The brothers smiled at each other before Raymon walked out of the room. He decided to sightsee the human world before going back to Daichi.
"Isn't that crown prince Raymon?" Prime Minister David said to himself as he saw Raymon strangely smiling to himself.
"I should let dark eyes hear of the latest development," he said smiling
**Santoni cave.
"I saw crown prince Raymon here in the human world, do you think he already knows about the human girl he's been looking for?" Prime Minister David asked the woman covered in a black cloak.
" If he's here because of the human girl, then it's to our advantage, get the girl right now," Dark Eyes said.
Immediately, Prime Minister David left to get the girl. Alyssa, crawled to her bed shivering as she remembered the words of Prime Minister David. He had appeared to her and had threatened to kill the remaining dragons if she didn't comply with his demands.
Alyssa was the girl Raymon had been seeing in his dreams, she was the last descendant of the guardian of dragons and books. She knew he'd come for her soon.
"Open up Alyssa!" Prime Minister David said, standing outside the door. Alyssa jolted in fear as he kept banging the door but he couldn't open it.
"Alyssa! Alyssa!! Don't get dark eyes angry, it's time to fulfill your duties" he said.
"I have no duties to you or dark eyes, I have no interest in meeting your target as well, just let me be," she said back angrily.
"Well, you asked for this, prepare yourself for the worst" he replied before leaving. After some minutes, Alyssa got up and started packing, she needed to leave the city to a faraway place where dark eyes wouldn't find her.
"I'd wait until morning then leave, I have to protect myself and the dragons. I am the last of my kind, I can't afford to be caught in between someone else's mess" she thought to herself.
