The Demon And The Angel | Brypu Cult AU

Chapter 3

Bryan's POV

Ever since Inpu found out about what the cult used to do to me, he started to become more protective of me around the house.

It started as him just watching me as I ate since he wanted to make sure I was eating, but it slowly progressed to him not really leaving me alone when he was home.

All it meant to me was that I was locked up with little time to hide since he knew my hiding spots, but if he came back angry, the guards usually took the beating usually claiming it was because I was nice to them so they were nice back.

Inpu finding me out of his room never stopped me from walking around when he wasn't home, however.

Since he found me the last time, two guards were placed at each door of the building and were told to make sure I didn't get out, but they would just let me know if Inpu came back early.

I was just handing out in the living room trying to entertain myself a bit when I heard the front door open followed by an unfamiliar voice.

Of course, fear began to fill me since I was in a place I couldn't easily run back to Inpu's room and hide from him and the stranger, so I began to make myself seem smaller and hid under the couch.

After a bit, I could tell Inpu wasn't happy with the stranger, so he was in a rage, so I thought they would be focused on each other enough where I could sneak out of the room, but then one of them sat on the couch where I was hiding, so I couldn't move much.

I didn't know what the stranger looked like, so I didn't know if I'd be able to handle myself, so I just covered my mouth and tried not to make a sound.

"All I'm saying is if you want your so called Gem to respect you, you should show him your dominance, not whatever you've been doing since it clearly doesn't work" [Xylo]

"Look, Xylo, I respect you on some grounds, but the cult that worships me isn't like the one that worships you, I thought I'd be given a healthy sacrifice this time, but man was I wrong" [Inpu]

"How so?" [Xylo]

"What's the worst condition you've ever gotten a sacrifice in?" [Inpu]

"A few scrapes and bruises from them not listening, otherwise I've gotten them in good conditions" [Xylo]

"Try clearly beaten badly and scrawny to the point I was considering injecting vitamins into his system so he doesn't die in his sleep" [Inpu]

"Does your cult not feed them?" [Xylo]

"From what I've gathered, those who join by choice aren't affected by anything, but those who are left at a young age by their parents, they are raised to either be a teacher for the cult or they're sacrificed, it just depends on how they act" [Inpu]

I could tell one of them was going to say something else, but I felt as of I were about to sneeze, and not long after, I couldn't hold in the sneeze and let out a small squeak.

Realizing I messed up, I covered my mouth despite knowing I was screwed, and just started to go to the part of the couch that leaned up with the wall.

All I was really focused on was not being seen, but I realized it wasn't going to work soon after due to my wings glowing.

Inpu kneeled down to look under and locked eyes with me, which seemed a bit strange from where I was since I was laying on the floor.

"Alright, here's what's going to happen, you come out without a problem and you don't get into as much trouble, otherwise I drag you out and you get in more trouble" [Inpu]
