Act 4

Her heart stopped as recalled the name she spoke "CALEB", she was trying her best to dismiss the strange thoughts that invaded her mind but the feeling of his hands wrapped around her waist made her jolt her head up looking straight into his eyes. Which only proved her doubts right.

"You- Your voice, I know that voice from my dreams," she remembered from her nightmares. He was still yet to reveal his true identity to her. In the nether realm, a yokai is not allowed to feel love, that was a thing only for holy beings.

"Hee hee hee, bingo that's me alright, but right now you're coming with me, don't worry no one will tell that our clones over there aren't real." with an eerie smirk on his face he turned to her and said leaving her dumbfounded.

"What the heck do you want from me?" she wriggled in his hands and tried to free herself from his grasp which was useless at that point. As she moved, his grip became tighter around her waist.

He just smiled at her with the sweetest smile that anyone could flash at a person. Though he has pulled her into a part of the forest where no one could detect them, little did he know that the barrier he created was about to be trespassed.

"Hmmm..... you know Y/n, how did you end up in this situation?" he made small talk with her as if nothing had happened. She rolled her eyes at his sudden change in demeanor. She just stared at him emotionlessly and didn't blink at all. Even though he was an incredibly handsome man, but underneath all those good looks was a face that would send chills down anyone's spine.

{Somewhere deep in the woods}

"She's finally here .... the general did an impeccable job" a voice so sinister that can make anyone wet themselves. It dripped of malice and jealousy, it sound so envious yet so revengeful. But now she finally found the mere human she had been searching for.

The princess walked towards the voices she heard from afar and reached the center between the huge banyan trees surrounding the space in between. She smiled to herself for she was content with the thought of torturing her soul. Her prime goal was to see what does a human girl has that can waver a demon's heart.

"Hanaki ..... you're here ?" she spoke as the huge armor-covered torso walked through the fog, into the center of a huge space that was shaped exactly like a pentagram. Carrying along with a petite-looking familiar human girl. "LET ME GO CALEB." the tiny human spoke only to arouse the satisfaction of the princess.

"I see so you have been hiding in disguise as Caleb .... hehehe ... How amusing for you to have two names ." She laughed in a blood-curdling way which made y/n's body tremble with fear.

"What do you want your highness ? " he growled for he didn't fancy her one bit. She disgusted him at how she would use and throw the little demons and also, manipulate the innocent of angels to do her dirty work.

"Of course the thing in your hands there.... hahaha" she laughed as she tilted her head to the side to get a glimpse of y/n who looked scared, but upon hearing herself been referred to a thing it pissed her off. "Who the fuck you're calling thing. Let me go Caleb now." y/n wriggled her way protesting in his arms and wanting to confront the woman who was mocking her.

"Stay still let me handle this. Himiko I have changed my mind, she is mine for the taking, you can go have your pretty boy waiting in the camp area." Hanaki was furious for some reason and didn't want to go forth with the original plan he and Himiko had agreed upon.

"Oh ... I see so your dare go against your princess for this thing you're carrying around. Let me get a taste of her sweet blood and see what's so special, that both of you are swooning around her like flies." she mocked him while she circled around them, her eyes changed colors to red, her nails grew long and she managed to scratch y/n, drawing a bit of blood from her cheek.

"GET AWAY FROM HER..... YOU EVIL BITCH." he shouted at her with rage so great that even the sages would tremble in their slumber. With the click of his fingers, he tied y/n to the roots of the banyan tree and geared up for battle.

"Oh... I see you wanna fight me hehehe. Have you forgotten who gave you the power to be the Yokai General? Well, it's too late now let's finish this once in for all.

The appearance changed to armored warriors. They had swords in both their hands and as they charged towards each other, the metal clanked against each other. Himiko managed to cut him across the arm.

"Heheeh .... Is that the best you can do?" Hanaki smiled as he bled from the arm. But that didn't stop him, He slashed his sword while he did a jump flip and slashed her face dealing a huge scar across her face, she screamed in pain and fumed with rage. She disappeared and popped up behind him and stabbed him in the back.

"You should stay in your place and learn what you are supposed to do. Don't ever mess with me again." she held his chin in her firm grip digging her nails into his skin while she spoke.

"In your dreams, Y/n is mine and mine to be, You or Ha-Joon can't do shit." with a blink of the eye he pushes his sword deep into her heart, while looking her straight in the eye.

{Meanwhile}

"Are you alright Ha-Joon?" the workers of Caleb rushed to him as he lay holding onto his chest.

"It hurts It Hurts make it stop ." Ha-Joon rolled on the floor in pain gasping for air. He held on to his chest and could see visions that were very familiar to him, something he had seen in the past when he was a kid. His appearance was changing slowly. As he changed the world around him started experiencing weird weather.

{Back in the forest}

"Y/n Y/n ..... we're here to free you please don't worry." a voice whispered to her from the shadow and the shackles around her body was free .

"Who are you ?" y/n whispered back now teary-eyed with a bit of relief . She looked closely and was shocked to see a girl and a boy she knew floating in the air and holding her fragile body against their grip.

"We will tell you everything, but for now just trust us and come with us. Your life is in danger" They familiar voices assuring her safety and trust and she followed them only to finally recognize who they are.

"YOU- YOU'RE from Fairy Dust"
