Eleanor's p.o.v We approached a huge black door that had symbols on it. When we reached it, it opened by itself. I looked at the dark fairies and noticed how they were now standing still with their heads lowered to the ground. "Aren't you going in with me?" I asked then shivered when a cold breeze swept by. "No." They answered in a low tone as the breeze began getting unbearable. I sighed softly then walked into the room which had a long passage. A few statues which looked like a lion with wings were lined up and the paintings on the walls were scribbling. I ignored them and made a turn because it was the only turn around the passage. A huge bed came into view. On the left side of the bed was a very huge pool and on the right was a big wardrobe and a desk. I looked back at the bed covered in red silky sheets then swallowed hard. Was the room mine?. No, that was impossible. I took a few steps forward and noticed that near the wardrobe there was a door. I slowly moved to it an
Ducan's p.o.vI was going out of my mind and it was all because of that damn human girl.Never has there been this much attempt on my life!. Every time I tried to let my guard down she went for the strike!.I wanted to kill her this time but the thought of my mother made me hold back. Her spirit to fight and hold on to her life and sanity was similar to that of my late mother. Although my mother was mocked and at times abused by a few demons, she still stood proud next to me and my father. She allowed no one to put her down and that fire was what made her unique and different from most humans. A heart that would never bow to those above but those it beat for. Such purity and loyalty was greatly admired.I groaned softly then threw the robe on the ground I had used to clean my face. I was still upset over everything."Since her arrival, I can't seem to fully calm down." I whispered to myself then sighed softly.I couldn't even maintain my human form because each time I was about to sh
Eleanor's p.o.v I waited patiently for his answer. When he burst out in laughter startling me, I took a step back. No, that lord was reserved, there was no way he was the one. Was this another demon using his face to torture me!. "Are you sent here by the demon king to torture me by using my past memory?" I asked furiously. He stopped laughing then moved closer. "I don't know how you can see past the illusion I have created. Is it because you hold the favor of the gods?" He asked in a low tone, not making sense. "Answer me demon!" I yelled then flinched when my injury began to hurt badly. "I'm impressed that you can remember me after all those years." He said as I shook my head in denial. No way was he the one!. How was he not aging after all those years!. The only answer I could think of was that he was a demon. "You aren't human are you?" I asked in a low tone. "I am half demon and half human. My father was a demon while my mother was a human." He answered, shocking me.
Ducan's p.o.v I walked out of the dungeon with the human girl in my arms. She was unconscious from the pain and healing energy I had used on her. Her words were still playing in my mind and I couldn't hold back from smiling. She had a chance to refuse both of my requests yet she accepted one. Was she that desperate to leave this territory?. She was even willing to search for the holy sword that was hard to find, if not impossible. When I walked into my room, I moved to the bed and carefully put her down. Her cheeks were still wet from the tears and she looked peaceful with her eyes closed. I moved my hand wiping off her tears before sitting down next to her. I hated humans so damn much and I didn't like her. The only reason she was back in my room was because I was very intrigued by her actions. She was rather stupid to believe me so easily just because I was half human and she had met me before in the past. If she was to find out who I truly was, she would make sure to never
Eleanor's p.o.v I ran as quickly as I could, looking back a few times to make sure no one had seen and followed me. When the demon king left the room, I took it as my chance to run away. Although I knew nothing about the place, finding the border and exit wasn't going to be hard because a lot of warriors who tried to enter the demon kingdom found it easily. The only guilt I felt was because I went against the lord's suggestion and plan of helping me out. He was the only one that showed me kindness in that moment, sadly I did not trust him because he was still half demon. His loyalty lay to the demon king and I wasn't going to let him hand me over to him or even worse tell him my plans of escape. It was getting dark and hard to see but I could at least make out a few things around me. I wasn't going to stop or give up the way to my freedom. I was about to take another step when I fell with a loud scream. Fear washed through me as my heart picked up. I was going down. I was fal
Eleanor's p.o.v "Here we are." Ducan whispered softly once we were at the palace entrance. "Aren't you going in with me?" I asked dumbly. "No. If the demon lord Sees me with you there is no telling what he would do to me." He answered then took a few steps back. I quickly turned and grabbed his hand. "When can I see you again?" I asked seriously. "Soon, just try not to run away again." He whispered then disappeared before I could say another word. I was startled by his disappearance but then again I remembered that he was a half demon so he had powers as well. I took in a deep breath and released it then walked past the entrance and kept on walking ahead. I had no idea where I was going because when I was running for my escape I paid no attention to the way or passages. "Excuse me." A male voice called from behind. I quickly turned and came face to face with a tall man. He had short black hair and brown eyes. "I still can't believe it's you, when I saw you walk into the pal
Ducan's p.o.v I lay on my side watching Eleanor who was sitting on the floor with her legs crossed and her back towards me. She was muttering offensive words here and there such as ugly, stupid and fool which weirdly I found funny. "Do you usually talk to yourself?" I asked seriously. When a minute went by I smiled widely. Were all humans like her?. I wondered. "Master." Missy called softly outside the door. "Enter." I answered. Missy was a succubus who was unlike any other. While most took fun in having sexual intercourse with sleeping Humans, she preferred her own kind and that had an effect on her which made her look younger than her actual age. Also she was among a few who called me master. She was the one in charge of bringing me and whichever guests I had food and water. She walked in with a tray of food on each hand. "Bed or desk master?" She asked. "Bed and floor." I answered. She put the food on my bed carefully then went to the girl and put the tray next to her.
Eleanor's p.o.v I closed my eyes upon calming down. A few minutes that felt like hours had gone by and I could still feel the burn hurting. The demon King's hatred and the way he wanted me dead scared me so much, but for a minute when he sat on the bed looking at me something felt different. And when he asked me if I usually spoke to myself I detected a friendly tone. In that moment thoughts of finding a way to kill him stopped. But now after going through such a phase yet again. I was so terrified for my life. Ducan was about to move when I tightened my grip on him. "Please don't leave me. He will rape me." I begged loudly as tears rolled on my cheeks. He sighed softly then grabbed my arms, removing them from around his neck. "Eleanor." He called softly as I looked at him through blurry eyes. "The demon king might have gone out of his chambers but that doesn't mean he won't return. What happens if he finds me holding his wife?" He asked, then tried to push me from his lap. "
