A Sorceress? Witch? Or Daemos Royalty? (My Inner Demons x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 22 - A tough clean up

3rd POV

Ava and Y/n were sitting in Ava's room. Ava was finally better and sitting up right while Y/n was laying back with her hands behind her head, eyes closed in a meditative state. Ava began to count down.

"3."

"2."

"1."

The door to Ava's bedroom burst open and in came the Daemos - all except Rhys. "Prisoner!" Asch growled, not noting the 'Predictable' said by Ava. "Are you better yet?"

"Y/n, Ava and Mrs. Oats said it would be a few suns before Ava-" Noi began to explain but was interrupted by the whines of the prince, complaining that she was 'taking forever to recover.' 

'Jackass.' Y/n thought.

"She's awake on her own today." Pierce stated.

"Yeah," Ava said, exhaustion clinging to her being like a Karen to a manager, "No thanks to Leif. Or Y/n." The girl weakly glared at the girl beside her, earning no reaction from the relaxed woman.

"Whoops..." Leif whispered.

"What did you do?" Asch interrogated.

"I kept her busy last night," Leif chuckled, making what he said sound much more erotic than it actually was.

What actually happened was that Leif was bored so he snuck into Ava's room. Inside, he observed Ava and Y/n cuddling. Y/n's body was faced upwards with an arm wrapped around Ava as she cuddled into the older woman's embrace. 

'They look so peaceful. ' Leif thought. A mischievous grin took its place on his face, displaying his sharp, canine-like teeth. 

'Let's ruin it. ' Leif twirled his sickles in his hands before approaching the bed. He approached from the side nearest to Y/n. He took the tip of one of his sickles and began poking the woman's head. 

One poke.

Two pokes.

Three pokes.

A growl erupted from the woman, alerting the assassin and making him pause his movements. Slowly, Y/n had opened her eyes, the sight freezing the assassin. 

Her eyes. The pupil had narrowed into a slit like a feline's eye about to catch their prey. Her irises glowed red like rubies and her lidded stare exemplified the effect of her gaze.

But what was the effect exactly? Leif couldn't pin-point it. He had two feelings. One of fear and one of...

Familiarity..?

He was frozen. Couldn't move. Couldn't do anything except stare into those eyes. 

Seeing that he had stopped, Y/n closed her eyes and went back to a peaceful slumber, leaving Leif to contemplate his actions. Suddenly, his eyes widened, remembering where he had seen those eyes before.

Leif and Princess Y/n were walking through the forest when they started to hear crying. They exchanged a look before rushing through the trees to find the sources. Soon, they found themselves on a branch, looking down at the clearing which had a few young Daemos in it.

There were 4 Daemos. One was being bullied by the others. The victim had orange horns and a matching outfit to go with it. He seemed to shrivel up in the centre of the beating as the other Daemos tormented the poor soul, berating him.
