The Strings Being Pulled

Ch 4

I stare at Harry smiling at the dead corpses. Not that I Am scared but just feel like I'm severly underestimating him. His eyes are glowing green and have some bloodlust in them, well he is an arsonist now but it can be uneasy. I am a bit uneasy from him but it is comforting to know he is strong and kinda hot. Wait what?

I get disgusted by bugs but seeing dead corpses is like seeing a pencil for me despite two years ago it was different.

"Do you still have energy to walk, Liza?" Harry's glowing eyes are on my eyes now.
"Not really but I have a little stamina left to fly though as my legs are beat." I answer his question
"Good, hopefully we'll be out of the forest soon." he smiles

I raise my wings and start to fly slowly to preserve stamina. The forest is pitch black and it is kinda cold. The only reason we aren't bumping into anything is because of the small amount of moonlight and a small glow from my halo. It's silent, only sounds I can hear are crickets and the wind. My eyelids are heavy but I gotta be alert and awake right now.

You can say I have no idea what i'm doing. My water bottle is empty. I'm only awake because I hate bugs and bugs lives in forests. I am probaly considered a criminal right now or atleast a suspect which I kinda can't give a single shit about. I just want sleep but mother of nature just had create annoying ass bugs.

I feel tired, I should probaly walk now. So I end up closing my eyes close immedieatly and last thing I remember is something catching me before I fall into complete darkness.

Harry's POV

Liza suddenly passes out mid air. I manage to catch her from falling onto the ground but I didn't realize she was this exahusted. Best if I use his funfacts that he told me about people. Still have to learn how to act with people...

Liza is sleeping like baby. I can't choose between on putting her under a tree and let her rest or just keep walking while carrying her. I don't plan on leaving her because i'd feel guilty despite having killed a lot of people before.

Well if I am gonna let her rest under a tree she will probaly yell at me because she is scared of bugs getting on her. Guess I'll just carry her since i'm not that tired and she is lighter than a feather but still really warm.

I carry her on my back and keep walking. I'm lucky to have trained eyes so navigating the forest isn't a problem. I can't help but smile at the fact that Liza is sleeping so soundly after what just happened. I get why my mind was screaming for me to befriend her now, she sure is an interesting person. Loud and naive but not boring for sure. I'm gonna try to be a better person from here on...

Pretty much since we exchanged eachothers names, she's been loud, sarcastic, calling me Mr Demon for some reason and constantly complaining.

I really wonder, didn't she have any friends or care about her family? I don't have any friends or family but Liza seems to be the kind of girl with lots of friends, I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover though.

It is a little cold outside but it's night so can't complain. I can see  some yellow lights in the distance looking into the forest, must be near a town or village. I can't help but sigh out of relief. Just a few more minutes and we'll be out of the forest.

A lively town for sure, the streets are pretty crowded in the middle of the night, wonder how far we have walked to get to this town. I'll start by looking for a place to stay. Having money that'll last a few weeks max as long as we're careful and only take cheap things.

Well there aren't any motels in this town for some reason but there are a few cheap hotels so I'll take one of those. Liza is still sleeping soundly so I book a room for two. Getting keys for room 404 and take the stairs there. I do notice a few people staring at me though, demons are kinda rare but I don't get people staring at me normally.

I open the door for room 404. Two tidy beds, night stands, a small desk on the wall and a small standard bathroom. Pretty averege and pretty good for the price. Laying Liza on one of the beds, she doesn't even notice.

I don't plan on sleeping yet, I have insomnia and need to figure out what to do before word gets out about me and Liza. Besides, I'm capable enough to handle guards, even a whole nation of them at once but I don't know much about Liza yet. She is a fast runner but is naive for following me who is a stranger and arsonist. Weller is probaly on the hunt for us but I don't know if we consider how many guards have chased us. As for killing Weller...

I have known him long enough to know a few weaknesess but will it be helpful against someone who has 5000 years of experience? Well, with me gone he will run out of purified blood unless he finds another person with similar powers like me which is highly unlikely.

Altough he does store blood. This is quite a situation we are in. I'll just focus on our basic needs for now.

I can hear Liza mumbling in her sleep. Well, I'd better sleep aswell soon then though I'm gonna shower first. I take off my shirt as I'm heading into the bathroom. The bathroom looks good, it's simple and already has a towel in it. A shower is much needed after walking so much.
