CHAPTER THIRTY

The fight had ended as quickly as it started, and with me being kidnapped by the demons. The three of us began battling the demons that had shown up, but did not realize they were the only ones.

I was excited to get the chance to use my sword. It was still engulfed with the dark red flames. I initiated the fight by running toward the one in the middle. Asmodeus and Livius each took one of the demons on the side. I enjoyed every slash that went through the demons flesh and watching his blood splatter. I loved listening to his agonizing screams from both the cut of my sword and the simultaneous burning from the hot, flaming blade. I dragged the fight out as long as possible. I was having too much fun torturing the ugly creature.

I finally decided to take a final strike. I leapt into the air, bringing my sword above my head as I gravity pulled me back toward the ground. Then I stopped, mid-air. In confusion, I brought my sword down and noticed I could stand on whatever I was floating on. Except I wasn't floating on something, I was floating in something. I was encased in some sort of bubble with a purple hue. I tried to push my way out but the bubble was strong and it sent an electric shock through my body when I tried to escape.

"Asmodeus! Livius!" I called from the bubble. I tried to push my way out again, but it was difficult. I then noticed that the three demons had retreated from their fights.

"There's no use in trying." A female voice called from below. I looked down. I didn't recognize this woman. She had extremely long black hair that reach about knee height. In contrast, the black dress she wore was quite short. Her skin was pale, which made her dark coloured eyes stand out.

"Who the hell-" I began.

"Hecate, what the hell are you doing?" Asmodeus snarled from below me.

"I'm following the your fathers orders, of course, you idiot. I'm his wife. I do what he asks of me." She stated.

That's their mother?

"No, she isn't. Our mother died giving birth to Asmodeus. She's a horrible excuse for a replacement." Livius replied out loud to my thoughts in a bitter tone.

Ah, that would make more sense as to why they don't seem to get along.

The bubbles suddenly started to move and I found it difficult to steady myself. Hecate brought the bubble to float by her side. She looked at me, intrigued.

"Hm, you definitely are something, huh?" She muttered.

"Let me go!" I yelled, banging my fist against the bubble.

"No can do. I want my husband to stay alive, so I need to bring you with me so he can slaughter you." She explained with a smile.

Within moments, both Livius and Asmodeus were sprinting toward us. They looked furious. They both had a little settled on their faces. They wanted to kill.

"Hm, good try. Boys!" Hacate called, and the three demons reappeared, "Take care of these two."

She then began walking away, making my little bubble follow her while the demons kept Livius and Asmodeus occupied.

"Dammit! Hacate, you bitch!" Asmodeus growled as he slashed through one of the demons, but another popped in his way.

"Stop! Let me go!" I screamed, trying to push my way from the bubble once more.

"Stop that, you brat!" She snarled as she began sprinting.

"Livius! Asmodeus!" I called, but they began to get smaller and smaller as I travelled further and further away.

I was furious. I tried every way possible to escape the bubble but nothing was working.

"It's no use. You can't escape from there." Hecate said as she continued on with my bubble following.

"I don't care. I won't stop trying." I snarled. Gripping my sword, I tried to force my energy into it, but it wasn't working. Fuck, what's wrong with me?

"I told you, it's no use. That bubble suppresses your aura, your energy." Hecate stated as she slowed down to a walking pace, "No one can trace you now that your aura is hidden, including the boys."

Shit, they won't be able to find me. I'm fucked. There's no way I can get out of this. I shoved my sword into it's sheath in my robe belt and sat down in the bubble. There's no use in standing if I don't have to.

"You lazy bitch." Hecate mumbled then stopped walking. My wrists were then tied together with some kind of energy, the same purple colour as the bubble, and the bubble popped which causes me to land on my butt on the ground.

"Ow!" I grumbled when I hit the ground. Hecate chuckled. She then whistled, which summonsed a few smaller demons.

"You guys are in charge of making sure she doesn't get away." Hecate said, and began walking again. The few demons surrounded me as we began walking. I felt extremely uncomfortable. We eventually reached a small log cabin.

"You can sleep in the little shed over there." Hecate said, pointing to a small shed next to the cabin that had several holes in the roof and several planks of wood torn from the side walls.

"Oh, how wonderful!" I claimed sarcastically then rolled my eyes.

She turned around from walking towards the cabin, "Hm, you know what? You boys have so what you'd like with her tonight. I won't tell the Devil." She winked.

The demons started to chuckle and come closer to me, touching me in spots I didn't want them to touch me. I screamed for help. My hands were still tied together. I was terrified. I shut my eyes, wishing it would stop.

Then it did. I opened my eyes and looked around to find the bodies of the demons laying on the ground. Did Livius and Asmodeus come to find me? I became excited and my heart rate sped up.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're safe, my love! I can't believe she would treat you like that! Luckily, I'm here to save you!" I turned behind me to find Adephagia walking toward me.

"Uhm, thanks." I said, shocked and scared.

"No need to thank me! That's what mates to, protect each other!" She said cheerfully as she stopped in front of me.

"But-"

"Hush. Now, we should go before Hecate comes to check on what happened. Oh! Here let me-" She said, then she touched the ties around my wrists and they disappeared.

"Oh, wow." I whispered, a little amazed.

"Let's go! We're going to convince my dad not to kill you because I want you to be my mate! Trust me, he'll be okay with it!" She hummed. Adephagia then grabbed my hand and began running, forcing me to stumble after her.

What the fuck kind of day has this been?
