Beyond His Evil

Five

Hi😉
~~~

I pressed my back against the bed with more force, desperately wishing I could disappear into it. I couldn't believe I was about to say this, but I longed for the return of the human, Evelyn, or anyone else who wasn't this creature standing before me.

He took a step closer.

"Don't you dare come any closer!" I weakly warned.

He tilted his head to the side and stared at me for a moment before taking another agonizing step forward.

Frantically, my eyes scanned the room, searching for anything I could use to defend myself. Unfortunately, there was nothing. When I gave up and turned back to face him, he was suddenly sitting on a chair that hadn't been there a few seconds ago.

"You seem like you're about to faint," he said, leaning back in his seat. His voice was deep, and he spoke with an ancient-sounding accent.

His eyes scanned my body, lingering on the hand gripping the edge of the bed tightly, before settling on my face.

"You're still weak, you need to rest," his voice washed over me in waves. I should have been repulsed, but for some reason, I found his peculiar accent intriguing.

I shook my head. Kira, he's using his powers on you.

"You're a demon," I blurted out.

He grinned.

He actually grinned?

None of this made any sense. I was utterly confused.

Why did the general have a demon here? And why hadn't he attacked me yet?

All I knew about demons was that they were the result of the union between a vampire and a hunter. Vampires couldn't reproduce vampires; they multiplied by infecting humans with their venom, which eradicated their humanity and transformed them into bloodthirsty creatures. However, vampire males could impregnate other species.

Firstly, vampires and hunters were never meant to procreate together. It was considered an abomination.

Secondly, no hunter in the world would willingly have relations with a vampire. Demons were born out of rape, and according to the stories I'd heard, they killed their mothers immediately after birth. The thought sent shivers down my spine.

It didn't matter that this demon hadn't attacked me yet; he was pure evil.

His hair was dark brown, with curls at the top and faded sides. He had the kind of face that could make you forget what he truly was. Perfectly shaped eyebrows, a slightly crooked nose that seemed to have been broken before, and full pink lips, but his eyes were a deep, bloody red.

"My name is Devon," he continued.
Devon. Demon.
Whoever named him did an excellent job.

He raised an eyebrow when I remained silent. "Now it's your turn to tell me your name."

That snapped me out of whatever spell he had cast on me.
"I have no interest in socializing with you, demon. I..."

An irritating smirk appeared on his face, causing me to forget what I wanted to say.

His red eyes scanned my body once again.

It suddenly dawned on me that I had been here for two days, and there was no way they would have left me in my village escape attire.

Panic surged through me.

I cautiously looked down at my body, afraid of what I would find myself wearing. To my relief, I was in a white gown that was twice my size and reached my ankles.

What was he staring at?

"Kira," he called.
I froze for a moment, my eyes still fixed on the dress.
"The name suits you."

I tore my gaze away from the dress to look at him. The smirk was gone, and his face was now expressionless. Except for his eyes, which had turned a darker shade of red.

I didn't like it.

"H... Ho... How do you know my name?" I stammered.

He stood up from his chair, and in the blink of an eye, he was suddenly in front of me. I let out a shriek, my eyes widening with fear. He was incredibly fast.

My mind went blank, unable to think of any escape plans. All I could focus on was how this demon was far too close to me, towering over me with his height, and his masculine scent filling my nostrils.

I shivered when he smiled.
"I know everything about you, Kira," he said.

That was it.

"Evelyn!" I screamed.

He scoffed and took a few steps away from me. "You have a long week ahead of you."

"Evelyn!"

Why wasn't she bursting through the door, telling this creature to leave?

"Sleep now, Kira."

His voice and words were like a drug, a command my body couldn't resist. My eyes grew heavy, and my body felt weightless. I heard a voice, but it sounded distant.

"Sleep, Kira."

My legs gave out, and I fell into his strong arms before darkness completely consumed me.
