34Kelvin looked absolutely speechless as he continued staring at me. I could even hear the person on the other side of the phone yelling hello at him. Kelvin later got back in his sense and continues speaking to whoever it was that he was on a call with but he closed the door and left.Hm. I wonder what's up with him."I guess he was just distracted by the call and got in the wrong room." Mary said."I'll show you to the guest room you'll be staying in." Mary said.Funny she's doing everything. Don't they have maids here? I haven't even seen a single maid since i came in."And here we are." Mary said opening the door to the guest room after we stopped walking."Wow Mary. It's amazing.""I know it is. Well, bye. I have something i have to do." Mary excused herself and now it's just me in the huge room.I fell unto the king sized bed excitedly, flung my smelly old clothes to the side and lay still, smiling at myself but then i remembered i had to think of a way to get Melanie out of th
35Someonne slid curtains open and the moonlight shone into the room i was in."Who are you?" I asked the one who still hadn't come into view. A beast walked out of the darkness of the shadows into the moonlight. I took two steps backward and fell on my butt to the ground. "P...Please don't... Don't harm me." I managed to say.The beast reached out for me with it's claws but i covered my face with my arms. "Go away!" I screamed with all my might. I heard a roar and then foot steps. I opened my eyes and the beast was no longer there. I couldn't help but have images of the best flashing in my head. Long twisted horns, red glaring eyes, fury masculine man like body, black in colour and clawed legs and hands, standing in front of me like a man. But where am i? I don't recognize this place. I got up and went unto the bed.I was weak from the stress and needed rest. I let out a yawn and closed my eyes hoping to shut out tonight's events from my head. I don't have any clue what that beas
36I screeched in pain. Mr Levinson, or whoesver that was, had left marks on my wrist and it was hurting very badly especially after the beast still held the same hand.The beast seemed disturbed and it's face softened a bit. The beast left and in no time it came back but with a first aid kit. It surprised me bcause normally, in a place like this one you wouldn,t think there was any first aid kit.The beast made me sit on the bed then it sat right beside me tenderly caring for my wound.I felt calm and it was also like i had nothing to fear with him around. I looked at the eyes of the eyes of the beast while it tended to my wound and i felt a familiarity.The beast finished up then got up to leave when some suddenly fell from it. A pocket watch. I picked it up and instantly recognized it. It belonged to that stranger from the field. Did the beast get him too? or..."What is this?" I asked.Without a reply the beast snatched the pocket watch from my hand and made to leave when i fell t
37I jumped up on the stage and grapped the demon by the neck, lifting him to the air.I could feel all eyes on me but i didn't care. I was ready to teach this one a lesson. "How dare you touch what belongs to the king?! Now you are going to pay for it!" I said and started to tighten my grip on his neck even more."I... I won't do it a... again." he said in a pleading voice and i flung him to the side. He slide off the stage and my eyes met with that of the crowd's.They looked questioningly at me but that wasn't my main concern. I turned to Melanie and saw her seated in the cage, her back on the bars. She was shaking in fright and sweating as well.I was about to talk to her when i suddenly saw my uncle's eyes on me. It was too risky for me to act that way. I just pulled the lever that would take Melanie back down to the underground room then i left my uncle with the guests to deal with.I met Melanie there and i opened the cage. I brought out my hand to her but she stayed as she wa
38"This room seems taken." I said when Denver opened the door to a particular room. "It is." he replied.My eyes widened. What was he playing at? There is literally no way i would sleep in the same room with any demon."I think i will just return to the other room. Thank you for your... effort?" I said and was about going down stairs when he suddenly gripped me."I am afraid not. You will be staying here till the door to the other room is replaced." Denver said."Why here? Aren't there any other rooms? Its a big building or is it just an open space in all other parts?" I asked."This room and the other room with the broken door are the only ones protected with spells. Now go in." he said and pushed me inside the room."Why do you even care what happens to me? I should have been dead long back but here i am." I complained."I don,t think i owe you any explanations." Denver said and left the room.This place is a mess. Don't demons ever clen up? Oh wait, that's right, they are demons.
39(MELANIE POV):He must be wondering what nerve i have to speak in that manner to him but that wasn't the problem right now. I was hungry and i wanted food instantly.I don't know how he did it but food appeared right in front of me but i knew better than to accept food from a demon. "No! I'm not eating that. You have to take me out." I retorted."Take you out?" he questioned."Yes. To get food." I replied."What's wrong with the food i just made appear before you?" he asked me."What's wrong with it? I'll tell you what's wrong. You gave it to me." I answered."And so?" he asked."And so i can't eat it." I replied."I fail to see your point here." he said."Why would i eat food offered to me by a demon? The king of all other demons as a matter of fact." I said to him and he seemed to have gotten the idea."Suite yourself." he said and walked back into the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on inside. He was really going to shower while i stay here hungry? I know this is some kind
40"How the hell..." Denver said in almost a whisper.Seeing the way Denver reacted to her I knew right away that she was a red flag. Before i knew it Mama G was directly in front of us."Well well well. Denver, so we meet again?" she said."Kaylah." Denver said out her real name.Kaylah turned to face me."You have something that belongs to me." She said to Denver without taking her eyes off me."I have nothing of yours." Denver said in reply to her."Really?" she said then turned to Denver."I don't think other demons will be happy to find out that the king himself breaks the contract rules." Kaylah replied."That's for me to handle. Now move out of my way. I don't think I'm the kind of demon you can defeat in a fight." Denver said to her."Too bad. I was hoping for some action." Kaylah said.Denver ignored her and shielded me from Kaylah's view and reach as we walked passed her."I may not be able to defeat you but Kyle can. You are only a weak demon and it's only a matter of time
41Denver sat on the bed and watched me try to calm myself down."Now that you know everything make sure you don't get out of my sight or try to escape." Denver said."It's not like i have a choice." I replied and sat on the bed right next to him.Denver, still lying next to me, changed to a position that his legs were on the bed and set his hand across my legs. He put his face directly in front of mine. He was sill in his human form."Of course staying close is your only choice." he said and I thought "Man. Can a demon be any hotter?" as i felt my heart melting. Those dashing red eyes, those succulent looking lips, that beautiful smi... What the... "Hey! Not that close!" I yelled and pushed him away after getting back in my senses.He laughed then laid back on the bed."Is the only thing you do everyday lying in bed?" I asked."No. Unfortunately for me I have to babysit you." Denver replied."I'm not a baby. And exactly how am I unfortunate?" I asked. To that he didn't reply and acte
