AWAKEN DEVIL (SAMPLE)

Chapter 7

Caroline walked out of the room confused but before she could walk further, her eyes landed on Zanuel and she followed him to the room and stood by the window staring at them.

Watching Zanuel kiss Denisa, the guards exchange gazes but did not dare go near her as they were mortals and the anger in her eyes was visible and they did not want to risk their lives. 

Caroline witnessed something she never wished to see, and glares at Zanuel with furious eyes, anger clouding her decision, she didn't stay any longer and vanished from there to the hallway. 

Margaret marched towards the room, holding the bowl of soup filled with herbs for Caroline, but she was leaving.

"Caroline" Margaret called for her but she wasn't listening, and in a second she vanished. 

'Change your bandages regularly' she screams from behind hoping she would listen but she was long gone.

"What happened?" Robert asks walking from behind her and sees Margaret holding the soup in the tray.

"Nothing," Margaret says but her thoughts, Robert heard them clearly and follows Caroline into the woods where she always goes hunting.

"..." 

Denisa takes a step back, and Zanuel could sense her hiding away from him, he lets her take her time and walks away from her, it was new for him too.

He never got involved with humans, and falling in love with a human was not something he expected or wished for.

The devil falling in love with a human never ended well, he knew that, but he couldn't stop himself from falling in love with her. 

Denisa looks back and Zanuel was gone, she walks calmly and lay on the bed, nicely pulling the pillow below her face.

"Why would you kiss him back!!!" She screamed, into the pillow, not letting anyone hear her, this is not something she can afford, she can not let him be her first.

Aurous wouldn't like that, no prince ever had a woman who was with someone else, and if he finds out about this, he will reject her and this will grant her nothing but death along with the people she loves.

"I can't stay here any longer" Denisa was firm but had no idea how, it isn't easy to run from the palace let alone the demon palace where she is being watched as a treasure.

Denisa was busy in her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door which brought her back to reality.

"My Lady," Margaret walked into the room with the clothes as Denisa's gown was covered in blood, Zanuel's blood.

"Your clothes, My Lord ordered me to bring you new clothes," she says staring at Denisa, and her cheeks flushed red, recalling his lips against hers.

Denisa bites her lips and her lips curl up in a smile but she quickly shakes her head brushing the thoughts from her mind.

Margaret stood by the bed staring at her watching her flushed self and her cheeks turn red.

"What happened My Lady? Did go got a fever?" she questions worriedly getting closer to her. Densia moves back shaking her head.

"No I am fine, but Margaret, can you help with just one thing?" Denisa asks her hoping she would say yes to her.

"What is it, My Lady?" Margaret patiently waits for her to reply, and as her anything she wants but little did she know what was about to come to her.

"Help me leave the palace," Denisa says, hoping her to say something but Margaret smiles looking back at her, and moves close to the table placing the teapot.
