Trouble》My Inner Demons

4 - New Roommates

☆--- A Few Hours Later ---☆
Cordelia's POV

"Why is this day TAKING FOREVER?!" Leif yelled from his spot on the floor.

"I can't take it anymore!"Make her stop!" Noi desperately shouted.

"Just. Kill. Herrr." Asch growled in my ear, his grasp firm.

"WHOA, you are not killing my friend, Prissy." I turned to him in annoyance.

"What did you just call me?" He cocks his head at me.

"Prissy." I responded.

Asch hand that gripped my arm started heating up and burning my arm. I wince in pain and try to pry my arm away from him.

"Uhh, Asch, I think you should go cool off." Leif started to get off the floor and watched me squirm.

"No." This prisoner needs to learn how to treat a prince" Asch hissed, inching closer.

I felt the heat seep deeper into my skin, and I jammed my elbow into Asch's chest and dropped to the ground.

Asch's eyes glowed with rage. He went to grab me, but Leif appeared in front of me. "Asch, I think that's enough.."

"Back. Off." Asch stared into his eyes, challenging how far Leif would go.

"It's okay Leif, I started it.." I said softly.

He turned to look down at me and nodded before walking over to the couch and staring between me and Asch. I didn't move but only look into Asch's eyes. I could tell there was something that caused his reaction rather just my comment. He noticed me studying him, and he turned to Pierce, who still held Ava. "This is getting ridiculous."

Rhys looked at Johnny, then Ava. "Let me try something."

"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas." Asch reminds him.

"I have an idea." He announced.

"You couldn't have had one sooner?" Noi whimpered.

"Silence." Rhys told him. He made his way over to where Pierce held ava. "Human?"Human!"

"That's not ganna -" I try to interfere.

Rhys then claps twice. Ava stopped screaming..

"That worked?!" Noi approached them.

"Why didn't you try that sooner?" Leif questioned.

"I didn't think a pet command gesture would work." Rhys informed.

'Is he calling Ava a pet?'

"Humans, please forgive our intrusion, but we wish to speak with you. If we let you move, will you please not scream, we promise we won't hurt you." Rhys spoke to us.

As I was about to mention my binds, I heard Asch mumble under his breath, loud enough for me to hear."No, we don't."

Ava nods.

"Good."Alright, Pierce, let her go and free the other." Pierce sets Ava down and pats her head. Very cute, but I'm STILL TIED UP HERE.

Pierce turns to me, making his way over and past Asch. He kneels down, revealing his sword. Then he slashed the binds Leif had placed on me earlier. He also pats my head gently, I only hum, "Thank you Pierce."

"Y-you said my n-name." He seemed shocked. I couldn't understand why. Don't people normally say names of those they refer to? I shook away my thoughts and stood up with the help of Pierce.

"Uhm, w-what the hell are you guys?" Ava stuttered.

"That's doesn't matter. Now tell us about your world or we'll -" Asch created another orb of fire. Seriously?
