The Demon King Pt 2

chapter six

The following days were rough. Leroi beat and raped me continuously. I wanted to escape but there was no way out. I lie naked on my bed covered in bruises that morning. My body ached with a thousand different pains and I could barely see out of my left eye that was swollen shut after I had got beaten again the previous night. But that wasn't even the worst of it.

Despite being injured I was still forced to clean up after all of those Demons that came to the parties he threw every other night. It was really becoming more of a living hell.

I was about to sit up but that's when my bedroom door burst open. It was him again.

"L-Leroi..!?" I quickly covered my body and watched as he walked towards my bed.

"Aden.." He started.

"Y-Yes? What is it sir?" I asked.

"You overslept again. You need to start waking up on time to start your chores." Leroi scolded me.

"I did wake up on time sir. I just wasn't able to get out of bed, as you see I'm very injured." I replied.

He frowned, "Yes, I see.." He started, "I see that you still haven't gotten up. I'm giving you 10 more minutes to get downstairs and start on the dishes. And if you don't, I'll really give you a reason to want to complain." He said angrily before leaving.

I sat there gripping the bed sheets in frustration. My whole body hurt and I could barely even function, but now I was forced to do more house work. I really didn't want to get up but I had no choice. I slowly made my way out of bed and got dressed before walking to the door.

I managed to get downstairs within the time frame and when I got to the kitchen Leroi was waiting for me, as well as huge pile of dirty dishes.

"You made it." Leroi smirked once he laid eyes on me, and for a moment I saw lust in them.

I swallowed hard, "Y-Yes sir, I'll start on the dishes now." I walked passed him to the sink and turned on the water with trembling hands. The last thing I wanted was to get screwed right then. I really couldn't take any more. Leroi was becoming more and more menacing.

"Good, I'll come back to check on you later." The demon left at that and I let out a sigh of relief.

I managed to get through my chores with ease, and I expected Leroi to return but he hadn't. So I waited there for a bit. Another hour went by and there was still no sign of him but that's when I heard footsteps. I thought it'd be Leroi who walked into the kitchen but I got the surprise of my life when I saw none other than my daughter Eden.

"Eden..?" I looked at her like I had seen a ghost, but I really hoped she wasn't one. After all this time I wanted her to be alive and she was.

"Is it true? Are you really my Father?" She asked. There were fresh tears staining her cheeks, and she looked terrified.

I could only stare at her for a moment, I really didn't know what to say. "Why you did you come back here?" I asked.

"I didn't have anywhere else to go. I slept outside for months and I didn't have any money to eat or to wash up. I looked up the address of this house and a kind woman gave me a ride all the way here. I just didn't want to die out there. I had no one to take care of me like Leroi has." She cried.

I frowned, "I know it must have been hard, but coming back here was a mistake. Leroi is a Demon. He's evil! He only wants to use us. You should have stayed far away from here, now he'll probably never let you go again, not until you're dead." I told her.

"The other reason I came back is because I wanted to know the truth. He told me that you were my real Father. I didn't want to believe it. I mean how could my real Father be in a place like this?"

"I was forced to come here just like you were. He wanted me here. There's a story about my Great Grandfather that led to the bloodshed of another demon. Leroi covered for him and shouldered the blame. And for that he was abused by a lot of other Demons. Now he wants revenge. So he decided to torture everyone related to my Great Grandfather, that includes me, and you." I explained.

"What? How can that be?"

"I know it's hard to believe Eden, but our family is cursed. Those Demons are trying to hurt us, an-." I wanted to say more but then I heard someone else walk in.

I gasped and looked up to see Leroi.

"At last you both reunite. A father and his long lost daughter. I hope you both had a good chat because now it's time for you to come with me Eden. I need your help with something." Leroi said.

"Yes sir." Eden left the kitchen first and Leroi looked back me.

"You're free to go back to your room now." He said before walking away as well.

I stood there paralyzed with fear.

Things were going back to way they were. Eden would be his personal servant again and I'd just forever be on cleaning duty. I didn't want it to be like this but what could I do?

I made it back to my room and collapsed onto my bed and then I just cried.

I cried until I had cried myself to sleep. That night I awoke to a loud clap of thunder. My eyes shot open I sat up panting. There was a terrible storm outside and a for moment I was afraid. The rain poured down hard and a gush of wind blew my windows wide open. The floor was getting soaked with rain water and I quickly ran to the window to shut them.

But then another gush when came and it was strong enough to knock me to the floor. I hit my head and suddenly I began to lose consciousness but not before I saw a pair of black shoes walking towards me.

"Le..roi..?" His name slipped passed my lips and then I was out cold.
