"Y/N." My eyes widen slightly and I bow lower, my nose nearly on the ground. I don't dare look up just yet. "You have been exceptional."

My heart sings at the praise but I'm careful to not let it show.

"Akaza tells me your bloodthirstiness nearly rivals his own. I will admit, I was unsure when he had first mentioned turning you. I'm rarely surprised, yet you have surprised me."

Muzans words were nothing short of baffling and on instinct, I look up to meet his gaze. His red eyes flash but I don't lower my head, or show any fear.

"Thank you my lord," I say softly. "I do not deserve your praise."

"No? Then maybe you don't deserve what I'm going to offer you either." I say nothing. "As you may know, I disbanded my Lower Moons. They were nothing short of embarrassing, useless." His words were a snarl that made me look down once more. "You on the other hand, have surprised me. Do you understand what I'm telling you Y/N?"

"Yes, my lord," I answer quietly. A thrill raced over me but I clamp down on my excitement.

"Look at me." I raise my head and find myself entranced by his cat like eyes. "This may hurt."

A white hot slicing pain tears through my eye. I bite my tongue to keep from screaming, holding myself rigid to avoid showing any hints of the pain that was tearing through my skull.

As quick as it started, it was over. My hands started to shake, but I gripped them into tight fists.

"I do not give this lightly, fail me and you will share the same fate as those before you. Go now, return to your lover and don't forget Y/N..." his words trial off and I dare another look at him. "Do not let me down." With a snarl, he waves his hand in front of me and a tug beginning in my gut pulls me from his castle.

I land on a rooftop, falling to my knees. A wide grin slashes across my mouth and a manic giggle slips from me. Reaching a hand up, I tenderly stroke my cheek under the eye that I know now was marked with Lower Moon 1. I laugh again as I faintly track the soft approaching footsteps coming toward me.

His scent washes over me and I stand swiftly, feeling the lightest brush of air and his warm breath on the back of my neck. "I've been looking for you."

I turn to face him, and his eyes widen, the only sign of his surprise. "Guess it's almost time for me to challenge you for your position as an Upper Moon," I tease.

"Very funny," he growls. "I'm not sure you could take me."

"I think I could." He glares at me but I simply shrug before looking around at the small village we were standing in. "Mmm, I'm hungry."

"I can think of a few things you could eat." I shoot him a smirk, sensing where his thoughts were headed.

"Well then let's go." I leap off the roof and take off at a sprint into the woods surrounding the village. My heart leapt into my throat when I feel him pursing me. I couldn't hear him, but I felt him following me.

We were like magnates ever since I become a demon. Always together, where one went, the other followed. We were inseparable and I loved it. We were obsessed with one another, rarely leaving each other's sides. And the sex...

I gasp when a force hits me square in the back and I'm suddenly pinned to the ground. I struggle just a little, only because I know that's what he wants, before both of my arms are pinned to the ground at the wrist by his large hands.
