Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 63 - Athena

ATHENA POV

After Theo had his fun, I was so weak, and could barely stand that he had to pick me up and carry me, bridal style, away from the mortal realm, and deeper into the demon one.

If I wasn't so horrified, tired, and aching for the mortal realm I would think this would be a fairy tale come true, like I use to read about.

Theo chuckled making my muscles tense up at the sound.

"I can assure you, my dear, that this is no fairy tail." He said, as if he read my thoughts.

I groaned.

Of course, why wouldn't it be?

The one who was carrying me towards his castle WASN'T Louie.

Theo stops short of his men who looked back at him in alarm. He motions for them to go on ahead of us, and once the last one disappears around the corner.

I was suddenly thrown off Theo's shoulders and hit a nearby tree so hard that I feel something break.

I cried out at the force, then slumped towards the ground, clinching my sides.

Theo kneels down and grips my hair, making me look at him, straight into his cold eyes that reminds me so much of Eve, but have none of her innocent life in them.

"Rule number one," He growled, jerking my head, making me grunt in pain. I can see dots starting to form in my eyes, and my head was light headed. Not yet being use to the atmosphere of the demon realm. It was quite different then the mortal one.

High toxic with some sort of chemical and I could see spores sprouting out everywhere across the land, wondering if that could be connected to the demon spores that Scrooge and Goldie keep coming across while on their scout missions.

"NEVER compare me to that bastard Louie." He snarled at me.

I blinked, trying hard not to start crying at the pain, or at the situation I was now in.

"How -." I choked out when he finally let go of my hair and straightened himself up. He looked around for a moment then back at me, his glare stone cold. "How many rules are there?" I asked out.

Theo snickered, as he gripped me from my arm, almost popping out my shoulder blade in the process, and started dragging me towards a castle I can see a few miles away.

"About as many as their is stars in the mortal realm." Theo replied,

My stomach dropped at that, and as we made it to the castle before nightfall I noticed there were NO stars here, nothing to remind me of the world I left behind.

All I can do to comfort myself as Theo showed me around the castle, then, to my "chambers," that at least those I loved back home are safe.

For now.

They can live a semi-normal life now.

As Theo turned to leave I panicked and without thinking grabbed his arms.

He stiffened, then looked at me, not angry more... Intrigued by my sudden action.

"Um.  You -. You mean I'm staying in here? What -. What about you?" I asked, my cheeks growing warm.

It's not that I don't WANT Theo in that way. I just... Thought we'd be sharing a room.

"I will only allow you into MY chambers when I feel the need of you." Theo told me. "Until then, you are to stay in this one. I have many duties to attend to around my part of the demon realm, being a Lord and all takes up a lot of my time, and can be -." He paused and ran his fingers through his red curls, "Stressful." He finished.
