Chapter 99 - I am going to beat that Chicken-eyes of yours

Seraphina couldn't contain herself from embracing Demian in her arms. She took his lifeless body in her lap and clutched herself on him. His face was covered fully in small dark scales and the curse had devoured him in its duvet. He looked barely conscious. He wasn't even blinking. His scales were hot as if he had been boiled in a boiler. Her heart thumped loudly and her hands shook as he wasn't replying.

"Demian, please answer me," she sniffed.

There was no answer from his side and her heart was breaking into pieces. She felt a pain in her chest and her heart kept telling her, he was fine but her mind said, he wasn't.

She begged him as she cried, "Please Demian, please be alive. Don't leave me."

She recalled Zenith saying that if Demian killed a human girl, he could be saved. Maybe he needed to drink her blood? That was the reason she was here from the beginning, wasn't she? She was a wizard but her powers weren't with her anymore so that made her just like a human girl.

"Demian, kill me if you must and drink my blood, maybe that can save you from the curse." She didn't want anything more than Demian being alive and safe. Even if it meant she had to die for him.

She could not understand at first why she felt pain whenever Demian was in pain, or why she felt like dying inside but now she understood. She understood it very well.

"Please wake up. Please, just kill me and drink my blood. What will I do if you aren't here with me?" She begged and begged and begged but Demian's body didn't move. His heartbeat was very slow and it made her more scared.

"Demian!" She sniffed more as she embraced him tightly and put her head on his shoulder. "Please come back to me. I love you."

"You should have said that from the start," a weak reply came from Demian as Seraphina jolted up and looked at him with surprised eyes. "Also, drinking your blood will make me stupid like you. I'd rather not."

"You... Were you acting dead just to make me tell you this?" She wanted to get angry at him but she couldn't because her heart felt calm and her tears won't stop running.

"I wish I would." He said weakly as they both looked into each other's eyes for a moment. They wanted the time to stop now and wished if it lasted long.

"Where am I?" Demian asked.

"A dark guild had abducted you and I came to save you. You are here in their hideout. We need to go back fast." Seraphina recalled Reginald was injured, "Reginald is injured so we don't have much time."

"Seraphina..." He called her name and it sent tingles in her belly, "I want to touch you, I want to feel you but my body won't move."

Seraphina's brows furrowed with worry as she asked, "What do you mean?"

"I can't feel my body anymore."

"Th-then I will carry you."

"You can't." He gave her a weak smile and added, "Just go."

For a moment, Seraphina was silent then she said stubbornly, "I won't go without you."

"Don't make me repeat myself," Demian tried to show his angered voice but he failed as his voice was becoming weak.

"No. I won't go without you. You hear me?" Seraphina angrily said to him as she tried to stand up taking him with herself but she could not even move him.

"Why can't I move you?" She asked, feeling panicked as she tried again. But she felt she had no power to move him. What happened to her? Did she lose her strength now?
