Salem [9]

Chapter 9

            “We are nearly there, now once we enter the gate, act like you belong there keep your head high and follow me and don’t speak anyone yet okay.”

            “Why, are you afraid that I’ll say something stupid?” I snapped.

            “No, you still have the scent of a human, this is not very good for the demons so I need you to shut up and follow me,” John ordered and his face shows no signs of joking.

            I sighed and glared at him but muttered, “Fine.”

            I steered the horse close to John and we walked forward, it wasn’t long when we approached the fortress, the gate was opened and there were people crowding at the entrance. Some had glowing red eyes and others had the natural color eyes. Men, women and children were everywhere clamoring to see John.

            “DEMONS AND DEMONETTS PLEASE WELCOME PRINCE JOHN AND GUEST!” a voice shouted.

I glared at the back of John’s head but kept close to him. I kept my eyes forward like John did.  As the crowd thinned down as we approached the castle.  Something caught my eye and I looked and saw a young boy digging in the trash looking for food.  I felt smpathy for the child. His clothed were shredded and filthy, dirt and grim covered his skin, he looked weak and malnourished. His skin was pale and weak looking.

“Do you have homeless people here?” I asked looking at John.

“Yes, unfortunately.” John said.

I nodded and John stopped and dismounted and I followed suit.  John walked through the opened double doors.  A servant walked up to us.

“The council is waiting for you, my lord,” the servant said bowing.

            “Thanks, would you be kind enough to show Ben, to his room please?” John asked.

            “Yes sir,” the servant bowed.

            John kisses my lips once and whispered, “Be right back.”

            John turned and walked away, the servant started walking and I followed him.

            After several minutes walking he stopped in front a double door.

            “Here is the master’s bedroom,” and he opened the door.

            I walked in and gasped on how beautiful it was, red and purple and black splashed around the room.  It had a king size bed beautiful decorated dresser with a mirror on top.

            “The master will be along shortly,” the servant said and I nodded and he left.  I ran toward the bed and flopped on it.  I sighed as my body relaxed on the pillows and the sheets and I drifted to sleep.

(John POV)

            I walked toward my old room mentally exhausted, I opened the door and saw Ben asleep on my bed curled up on top of the covers. I smiled and stripped down and slid into the bed and I took off Ben’s clothed and pulled him close. I draped the covers over us and I gathers Ben in my arms and rested my head on his neck.

            “I love you, Ben,” I whispered once and fell asleep.
