Survived This Land

II

Hunter drew the map as promised and he offered his cave for the night. That night I was lying on some furs with a pelt for a blanket, even though it was hot it was mostly for comfort. Hunter was sleeping across the cave as if he isn't in a demon filled hell, literally hell, I get up and look around, as if I could sleep. "What's up", Hunter grumbles.

"Sorry I can't sleep it's too weird and I have to many questions."

He sat up "Alright but first I have a few questions for you."

"Ask away", I was puzzled. What type of questions?

"Who are you? what do you do with...life?"

"I'm Brooke, I run my grandparents farm, I love the horses they bring freedom. I also like destroying my lungs." I lit a Prime Time. "My grandma is dead and my grandpa is dying and they gave me the farm because it was always like my home growing up. My parents use to fight and it scared me as a kid and my grandparents have always been loving and kind."

"They sound wonderful. How old are you?"

"17, how old are you 10?"

"No, I've been here for a little less than fifteen years I guess technichly I'm around 22, I did leave once. I'm 12."

"You don't age down here?!"

"You do but I'm half demon."

My mouth drops I put my hand on my gun and pull it up. "...and you age by eating certain people?"

"Drop the gun."

"No! Answer me!" I shouted frantically.

Huntet sighs and puts the gun to his chest with his face blank he forces me to pull the trigger he stays standing he puts it to his forehead and goes to the trigger again.

"Fine!" I lower the gun.

"I won't hurt you, I don't feed on humans, and if I wanted to hurt you I would. I age slower than normal humans thats all, my mother was a demon and my father was tricked and very brave you can say." Despite the shock I chuckled a little, "H-how was he tricked?"

"My mother was like a sucubus she was very beautiful actually even as a demon but she had the heart of ice, literally, she came from the lower lands of the water demons making her an ice demon."

"Er...Okay, you better not make me regret trusting you. I have another question." Hunter looked up at me and grinned a little, "Of course you do. Go right ahead and ask stop telling me you have a question."

I inhale deeply, "Alright, well I was wondering how come you're down here can't you leave?"

He looks at me through his blue eyes, "I can't leave as long as Karluclus is in power I was hoping you could help free me."

"'Nuff said. Don't worry I WILL defeat Karluclus!"

Hunter smiles, "Good, you finally pronounced it right!" Him and I shared a laugh. "Alright you better get sleep if you and I are gonna defeat Karluclus", Hunter smiles and we go to sleep. "Good night, Hunter."
