The Demon and The Lady

Must everything reset?-

~{Nyx's Pov}~

We had escaped and I was holding my child close feeling overwhelmed with emotions of hope and freedom as I brought them through the area and held them tightly not wanting to let go as I hadn't seen them in over a week and I felt like a piece of me was stolen in that time and I can't lose the only person who has seen more than just a tall woman who could be good for things. My child saw someone they considered a role model and stuck with me ever since the adoption centre which I loved since we had built a bond on the first day and had been inseparable ever since.

Thanatos had became her world and she would be damned if she allowed some stupid tall vampiristic woman take that from her. She would do anything in her power to protect her child and she means anything.

~[Narrator]~

Their escape was not without casualties though, and it had cost them their home and everything they held dear. As the two of them walked into the woods, they knew that they would never be safe, but they were alive and that is all that mattered to them both in this situation.

They had been on the run for so long, and they had expected to continue running, but here they were safe. Nyx looked at her child, and Thanatos looked to his mother, and they were both silent, because what else could they say after successfully being able to reunite and escape the clutches of Lady Dimitrescu and her fly's.

Nyx had managed to bring Thanatos to an abandoned home and they settled for the night as Nyx made sure every entrance and exit was blocked off before checking on her child and laying calmly together finally feeling a sense of warmth and love they hadn't felt in days.

Thanatos looked out the window, they had never seen the moon shine with such beauty, or heard their footsteps echo off the walls. The two were tired, and they slept the best they had in years. The next morning, the two found themselves back outside, Nyx looking at a flower, and Thanatos admiring the sky.

Nyx's attention was brought to the sound of a bell, and she noticed a group of people had gathered just outside the village square. Thanatos noticed the way Nyx became a lot more focused, and they grew curious about what the townspeople were up to. Nyx, however, looked anxious with the attention brought to their presence being back in the village.

Nyx held Thanatos's hand, she didn't want her child to feel the fear that was growing more and more inside of her. But Thanatos looked out at the crowd, his curiosity was winning.

Thanatos slipped away from Nyx and caused her to go into a panic and to start running around trying to find them as they were stood in a hidden area and were watching the commotion in the towns square. Nyx had to look away, as the people in the crowd turned to notice their presence, Nyx and Thanatos. Thanatos had noticed it too late, and Nyx was trying to gently pull them away, but Thanatos looked at the crowd as they looked back at them. The crowd began to whisper, some of them pointing at Nyx and Thanatos and whispering about how we had appeared after just over a week and how it must be some sort of blessing from Mother Miranda or some power but they all froze in fear when the sound of wooden carriage wheels moving against stone as Nyx quickly took Thanatos's hand and dragged them quickly into a house and hid with them for what felt like hours as the commotion outside was filled with Lady Dimitrescu's voice and the screams of villagers who refused to give her any sort of answer.

Just as everything started to become darker due to the time and just as Nyx believed they were safe the front door crashed inward and footsteps began as Nyx hurried her child into the basement and followed behind whilst holding them close not wanting to ever let go again. The noises upstairs were easy to pinpoint as Lycans and Lady Dimitrescu, Her daughters however weren't anywhere to be found and that's when the snapping of wood sounded through the basement....
