Luz POV

As soon as I said it both of our faces had shock written all over them. "Could you repeat that please?" Eda said. "B-Belos is my father..." I said in a whisper.

Tears threatened to fall but I held them back. "Hey, kid! Kid?!" Eda said as I blacked out from lack of air.

-------------------------------------

I woke up on a couch with the small demon on my feet. I yelped and fell off the side of the couch. "Weh?" The demon said, falling with me. I got up quickly and scanned my surroundings. I noticed the demon on the ground and counted up in my head how long it would take for Eda to come down here for the noise.

I scanned my surroundings and jumped behind the couch just as soon as she came back into the room. "What happened King?" She asked, picking up the demon. "Well, the girl woke up and fell off the couch and looked scared and shocked then jumped behind the couch when she heard you," King said, pointing towards the couch.

Crap. Eda walked towards the couch and looked behind it. "Come on kid, I've said this before, I won't hurt you." She said putting her hand out for me to grab. I grabbed her hand and lifted myself up. I pointed towards her kitchen "What's that?" I said and when she turned I darted for the door.

I tried the door handle and it was locked. "If you wanted to leave you could have just said so," Eda said grabbing my shoulder and flipping me to face her. "But first some questions need to be answered." She said pointing a finger in my face.

I sighed "Fine, I'll answer whatever questions you have." I said rubbing my temples. 'This woman is going to drive me insane.' I thought. She led me over to a table and we sat down. 

"First things first, what is your name?" She asked. "Luz Noceda," I said, answering her question truthfully. "Now, are you alright if I put a truth spell on you?" She asked and I nodded. She cast the spell and I felt it pass through me. 

"How long have you known Belos was your father?" She asked and I responded truthfully. "Just now I had the realization that he and my father look exactly alike and I know my father does not have a brother." I said and she looked at King as if they were having a silent conversation. 

"This is a big assumption but were you... hurt when you were younger?" She asked me and could tell by my face. "I hate that alcoholic maniac that calls himself my father. He inflicted so much pain and suffering on me. I hate him with everything in my whole body." I said spitting out everything with venom. 

"I hope he enjoys what will be coming for him. I'm sure he has already felt that I have told someone about the whole 'Kill you or bring you in' thing so I may or may not be staying the night." I said and she looked stunned by how quickly I turned from scared and shocked to angry.

"Okay then... Wait why is my sister here?" Eda said and I had heard that head coveness Lilith was her sister. I knew this meant only one thing. I ducked behind the couch again just as the door opened. "Eda, Belos told me that you are harboring a fugitive. Hand her over and things won't get messy." Lilith said, looking tired and wanting to get this over with.

"You will have to kill me to get to this poor child that had had a hard life," Eda said, getting in a fight position. "You give me no choice Eda." Lilith said and that was the start of the biggest battle I had ever seen.

Yay, another cliffhanger! Hope you all are enjoying thus far!
