The Monsterhunter

The Rejection

I finished packing light focusing mostly on food and water provisions. I wrapped my swords in a leather bag long enough to not look suspicious and a backpack with my provisions. I filled my bike to have enough fuel and Tuck gave me an extra bottle just in case.

As I was ready we made our way to the place where the demon King was supposed to give the speech. It was very crowed but we managed to find a place on top of a broke down car that was there a long time. I even fear that we will crush it. For our luck nothing happened. As I examined the crowd they started cheering as a black car arrived near the stage.

My hearth tightened as I was my mate got down from the car hand in hand with a tall and and beautiful blonde with black horns. They headed to the stage and the crowd cheered for them.

I was getting angry, he didn't give two shits about me. I had my daggers on me and I planned to throw one at his head and into the wall behind. And then teleport on the stage take my hood down and reject him in front of everyone. But I wanted to wait until he started his speech.

So they headed on the stage hand in hand and they stood in front of the microphone, and so the speech began.

"Thank you for having me today." began my mate and then he started praying The Hound Market and what an important part of hell it was.

There were only 3 guards on stage the rest were near the car. I slowly prepared my dagger, my black one, so he would recognise it as he saw it back at my school.

I threw it, it flew soundless and stopped with a cracked in the wall grazing his year. Everyone became quiet, I was already on stage clapping my hands sarcastically, saying:

"Well, well, well I guess congratulation are in order."

His blonde said: " Who do you think you are?" As she said this the guards crowded me I knocked them down one after another and said:

" I hate being interrupted, so shut your outh bitch, you are not even his mate."

"How dare you I am his mate and he will marry me." I started laughing and said:

"Oh god you are so stupid and naive, you can't be his mate, because I am." and I threw my hood back.

"Khris" he said, but I didn't give him a chance to finished:
"Oh hello there little mate, surprised to see me. Gosh you could have told me you were engaged and I would have rejected you sooner."

"You will not reject me, you are my mate, but I will marry Serena.", he confidently said.

"Oh so I could be your side piece I would rather die, I Khristiana Moondust reject you Demon King as my mate." He screamed in pain as he crashed to the ground kneeling in front of me, but I continued: "Everyone look at what a pathetic king you have, kneeling in front of a weak human."and as I said that I took off my bracelet and everyone gasped. "I would be ashamed to have a king like you, and I am disappointed at why the gods paired me with a weakling like you now accept my rejection or die." At this point I had my black dagger at his throat already drawing blood, continously adding more pressure to the wound.

Everyone was speechless and I waited for his answer. It was really quiet and no one dared move. Finally after a while he said:
"I accept your rejection." He said with a raspy voice. I grinned and lowered my dagger. And the next second I disappeared.
"Find her." I heard him say before I teleported.

Shit I was now followed.

My body was hurting, but it was bearable. I teleported away from Tuck and Nana not to get them into trouble.

I found my bike and started the engine. I put on my bracelet and the guards ran exactly past me. I chuckled to myself and headed for the mai road. On the way I met up with Nana and Tuck and said my goodbyes. I hugged my best friend tight and then I was gone.

I was headed to The Last Night, the place where the guide was supposed to live. It was already getting dark so I stepped on the gas.
I arrived there just as it was getting dark and headed straight to the address that Tuck gave me.

I decided to leave Nana with Tuck because I was still followed by guards.

As I reached the address it was a small and old house, more deteriorated than the ones at The Hound Market. Well I guess not every part of hell is as rich as that. By now it was already dark and I was standing in the dim light of a small lantern above the door. It gave out a yellowish colour, I realized it was a flame. Because the light of the lantern moved around the door almost like waves of light. I waited patietially for about 15 minutes until the door opened.

And my jaw dropped to the fucking floor of hell.
