The Forgotten... (Zianourry)

"Neala, she's doing it again..." "Just ignore her babe. She can't do anything to you and she wouldn't dare to even think about it while I'm with you." "Yeah, but she followed you into the bathroom and the two of you left around the same time. I'm too scared to even go to the bathroom now..." I looked to the right of me and I saw the demon lady still staring at the two of us. "What the hell is her problem now? We haven't done anything wrong. She should be enjoying her date night with those other girls, right?"

"Wanna go ask her why she keeps staring?" "No! I'll probably get attacked or something. She is a freaking demon Neala! Her girlfriends would probably rip me apart too. I'm too young to die..." "You're being too dramatic baby. Just ignore them, alright? You've been doing pretty well at that so far." "Yeah, but you know how I feel whenever someone stares. It's just freaking creepy..." "Maybe she's just in deep thought." "About you? Or about me? Because both of those options make me even more scared..." "Relax Hazza. Nothing is going to happen. It's.a public place too. I've heard that this is the place where attacking others is prohibited, so she can't actually do anything even if she wanted to."

"Do you think she wants to?" "No. You are thinking about it too much. Here, drink your wine. It's your favorite," she said and passed me my glass. I took it, thanked her, and sniffed it before I took a sip of it. I put it back down and I relaxed fully. "Okay, now that you are relaxed, go to the bathroom. I know that you've been holding it since the waiting area. Go." "No. What if-" "Harriet. Nothing is going to happen to you. If anything, she's just going to follow you. I'll go talk to her before she can. If that makes you feel better." "...no. I don't want you to get hurt. I'll just go," I said and stood up. I walked to where the bathroom was and I looked around before I entered.

I soon heard heels hitting the floor as I was on the toilet seat. I nearly gasped, but I covered my mouth quickly and just stared at the floor. I saw black heels walking past the stalls, but they stopped at mine. I wanted to cry, scream, yell for Neala to rescue me, but I didn't. I just watched as the heels stayed there, but there was no knock heard. It was dead silent in the bathroom and I really didn't know what to do.

The bathroom door opens again and I heard Neala's voice, yelling at the demon that was in here. "I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but you need to get the fuck out! You have been nothing but an absolute creep this entire night! We don't want to deal with you or your girlfriends, so leave us the fuck alone and get the fuck out!" I thanked Neala in my head and I was so relieved when the heels finally walked away from my stall.

"You okay baby?" Neala asked and I let out a shaky breath, I took care of my needs and walked out of the stall. Neala hugged me first thing and I hugged back. I avoided touching her with my hands since I didn't wash my hands yet. "I thought that she was going to knock the stall door down and snatch me or something." "I'm so sorry baby. I really didn't think that she would do the same thing to you since she knew how defensive I get over you." "I don't think she cares Neala. If she really cares, then she wouldn't have talked to us earlier in the waiting area," I said while washing my hands.

"Yeah, but I thought that she was going to be innocent about this since this is the place that doesn't tolerate disrespect," Neala says and groans. "This just had to be a small town. Of course they were going to be here. Why is this the hotspot for date nights? I really didn't think that this place was going to be so packed. It said it was not that busy when I booked our reservation." "I think they have a different type of definition of 'busy'. It's fine anyways. Those three can't do anything like you said, so let's go and enjoy our night."

Neala smiled at me and nodded her head. She took my hand and we walked out of the bathroom together. We walked back to our table and I glanced to the right and I saw the demon talking to her girlfriends. I assumed that it was about us, but I didn't bother asking them. I just sat down and enjoyed my meal with Neala. We talked and we laughed and eventually, I knew that everything was going to be okay again. Nothing was going to ruin our night. Not even those three...
