AWAKEN DEVIL (SAMPLE)

Chapter 3

Denisa stares at Zanuel to speak to her, but he was not ready to talk, not even a single word. 

"Why!?" she questions him hoping for one reasonable answer but no, he did not have a single answer, he stood by the bed staring at her frustrated, annoyed, and angry. 

Fury grew in him, and the whole room filled with the cold breeze sending shivers down Denisa's spine, she rubs her arms glaring at him. 

Zanuel turns around and glances at Robert standing by the door, staring at him confused about his behavior, in the past, he never got himself involved with any woman let alone not let her get away from her, and now he couldn't let the girl go. Why? 

"I said no!" he says and walks out of the room and the door shut behind him. 

Denisa rushed to the door and pulls the handle trying to open the door but she couldn't, she banged the door hard and screamed but no one heard her cries. 

She walks back and sat on the bed worrying about Olivia and the servants who will probably be dead if she doesn't show up before the wedding, this is why she never objected to the marriage she never wanted, she walks to the door again and bangs it. 

"Open the door you red-eyed monster!" she screamed from behind the door, Zanuel stood by the door listening to her. 

Robert walked out of the locked room without a hindrance, without Denisa noticing him, she did not see him pass through the door either, he did not need to open the door. 

"My Lord," he says waiting towards him. Zanuel was not ready to let her go, but he was aware she would do anything to leave. 

"Why does she want to go," He asks and Robert glances at him trying to understand what exactly was happening to him, but didn't dare asks him a thing. 

"My Lord, I heard her thoughts, she's worried about Olivia, and if she doesn't show up then the woman will be killed along with all her servants" Robert reported everything but did not say a word about showing up at the marriage. 

Zanuel listens to him carefully and leaves without giving an order, he walks to the back of the house to the garden, and it looks the same as he left, except there were more flowers now. 

Robert watches Zanuel from afar as he walked into the garden. No one would believe he was in a coffin for over a millennium looking at him. 

'Demons don't die, especially the older demons who were around from the start' Robert thought looking at Zanuel, and in a split second, he vanished. Robert's eyes grew wide looking around but he didn't catch him leaving. 

"What are you doing?" Zanuel appeared in front of Denisa. He stares at her trying to stop the bleeding from her palms. 

"It's hurting," she complains tears streaming down her eyes, but she quickly wiped the tears, and he moved closer to her and held her palms in his staring at her eyes. 

"I will not let you go," he whispers holding her palm with one hand and covering it with the other hand, but Denisa couldn't afford that. 

"You wanted to come out and you did, what more do you want from me?" she asks, worried about the people who will bare the consequences if she doesn't go back. 

Zanuel takes a sharp breath looking at her "I did not call you," he was sure, he felt nothing while he was asleep in the coffin, the only thing he heard was the cry for help of a baby; after a few years, he stopped hearing that too. 

"Then who?" Denisa asks the question to which even Zanuel had no answer. 

Zanuel loosens his grip over her palm and the palm is healed. No scar, no bleeding. Denisa looked at him shocked, 'Who is he?' Denisa wanted to ask him.
