Trouble》My Inner Demons

5 - Morning Suprise

♡~ Third Person POV ~♡

Asch was curled up in a blanket on the couch. Johnny found the 'EMERGENCY BLANKET' bin. Pierce sat on one of the maching chairs, leaning his head on the handle of his sword. Leif sat up against the windows, using his arms as a head rest.

Noi was sprawled out on the carpet. "No, please, human stowed harvest my horns and auck my organs out of me." And continued to snore.

A blue light shined beneath the bathroom door. The light had been created by Rhys's necklace as he stood in front of the bathroom mirror.

♡~ Rhys's POV ~♡

Lady grandma then became visible. "Well, it's about time you called."

"Forgive me, Lady grandma things -" I tried to explain to her.

Lady Grandma cut me off. "Didn't go according to plan? Heh, what plan actually works when you visit a world you know nothing about."

"I was under the impression the humans here would be like the ones on deamos."

"Enough. Now tell me... How is Pierce doing? Is he alright?" She smiled brightly.

I was taken aback about her interest in Pierce's health rather than Asch's. He was her grandson. "You mean Asch."

"I said Pierce. Is he all right?! Those humans better not of done anything to his handsome face." She asked frantically.

"I would think you'd be more concerned about your grandchild." I asked sarcastically.

"Hmph?" Oh, yes." I care about him to, I guess." She shrugged.

I sighed, "Pierce is safe, and so is Asch."

She began laughing at me? "Ohh lighten up Rhys. You're calling me with such a peaceful tone about you, it's obvious everyone is safe." Her voice deepens before continuing. "Now, we don't have much time, you need to reserve your magic as much as possible even calling me can drain you."

"I can assure you I have more than enough -" I didn't want to appear weak or incapable.

"Enough." Let's get on with it." She cuts me off again.

"Yes, we've taken two female human sorcerers as our prisoners. The plan I have in mind us to assimilate ourselves in their culture and environment. Once we learn more about it, I have no doubt we can harness the humans to assist with the magic crisis in our world." I explained.

"And Asch hasn't hurt any of them?" She questions.

"He's attempted, but he is also strangely listening to reason."

"I don't blame him." He has more pressure for this journey to be a successful one, then anyone else there." You know what will happen if he fails.." With her words I felt my heart sink.

"I'm aware."

"Rahl has discovered that Asch has gone missing." She informed me.

"Asch's brother?" How?" I was shocked at the news.

"I can assure you it was by happenstance." Rahl isn't that smart to notice, unless it benefits him. Rahl was outside of Asch's room seven days ago demanding to see Asch." She further explained.

My eyes widened, "Seven days ago?! But the sun has only set once here!"

Lady grandma seemed intrigued. "Really now? It seems other worlds operate differently."

"Indeed. Observe this lady grandma." I make my way over to the white object that fills with water. I begin pressing down the silver button on top of the object that makes a loud noise and makes the water inside swirl around.
