I backed up against the tree, while the guys started to approach us. They kept moving closer and I started to go around the tree, hiding behind it.  I would have preferred to run away, but Ava was still stuck and I could hardly stand. Even leaning against the tree for support, my legs were shaking and my head was ringing. I had no idea who these guys were, or what they were willing to do, but I was scared. Ava, being Ava, was not, instead she was rather angry. She started to talk to the guys, having a conversation with them that didn't seem to be going too well. I was having trouble paying attention, but did manage to stay somewhat in the loop. Eventually the guy who hurt me and hung up Ava let Ava down. There was some more conversation between Ava and the guy with black hair. He was doing some weird roleplay thing, that me and Ava were both unamused by. Unfortunately, Ava has no chill and grabbed the guy's horn. Everyone of the other guys acted super weird about it, and Ava fainted once she realized the horns were real. Wait, how are they real!?

I wanted to rush to Ava and check on her, but I was genuinely scared to leave the tree, knowing that I would collapse.
"What's wrong with the other human?" The guy with orange hair said while the others fought over Ava being "dead". When he spoke, the guy in light blue stood and looked at me, making me shrink back behind the tree, although not without issue.
"I believe that they are hurt." He said as he started to approach me.
"Most likely from Peirce's early actions." He stood directly in front of the tree, in front of me, staring down at me. I stared up at him, visibly scared.
"We promise you no harm. I apologize for my friend's action." He started to apologize, but his close proximity made his voice sound a thousand times louder and I covered my ears, letting out a small whine of pain. I tried to back away from him, but found myself falling towards the ground from my unstableness. However, instead of being met with more pain, I felt arms wrap around me from behind. When I looked to the best of my ability, it was the one with white hair. He held me tight, which only hurt my already sore body even more. I tried to get him to let go or atleast to lessen his grip, but he seemed to take it as me trying to escape. Instead, he tightened his grip, holding me from behind. I let a rather loud whimper leave my throat from the sudden shock of pain, this coming as a surprise to all of them, especially the one holding me. I could tell from his grip faltering.
"Leif, It's hurt. You're hurting it." The same light blue guy from before said.
"What am I supposed to do? It's trying to get away!" He said as his grip tightened yet again.
"S-stop..." I whined out as my legs started to give out.
"Woah, hey! What are you doin!?" He said as he held me.
"Heal It Leif! Heal It!" The boy with orange hair yelled in a panic. That was the last thing I heard, and the last thing I saw was the white haired guy's face with what I think was a concerned expression? Maybe it was just the head trauma, but after that I blacked out.

The next time I woke up, it was an odd situation. I was laying on the couch, the evil guys which I thought was a dream were in our living room, and Ava was screaming while in the arms of the guy who hurt me. Actually, I feel pretty good. When I looked down at my arm, the giant scrape was completely gone. What the heck?
Slowly I sat up, catching the attention of all the guys in the room. I stiffen a bit as they stare at me.
"Human, we mean you no harm, as you can see we've healed you, now please can you-" The same one who was acting polite before got cut off by the guy I had resuscitated earlier.
"SHUT HER UP!" He yelled angrily while pointing to Ava, drawing my attention back to her.
I sighed while I watched her, actually a little proud about her idea, but I knew that these guys were strong and it would be best to comply. I stood up from the couch, walking slowly over to Ava, so as to not set the other guys off. I kept my eyes on the one holding her, I think his name was Peirce. As soon as I was in front of her, I spoke softly.
"Hey Ava, I know you're scared, I am too, but we're in this together, okay? So can you please calm down." I spoke in a voice that was almost entrancing, using my natural "ability" To sooth her, while I kneel in front of her, patting her head. What I failed to notice was how I also seemed to entrance the guys, although momentarily.
Slowly she calmed down.
"If we release you, do you swear to stop screaming?" The polite one asks and Ava looks at me for confirmation, which didn't go unnoticed. I nodded to her, and she nodded back to the polite one.
"Peirce, release her." He does as requested and lets her go. As soon as he does, Ava's in my arms and the two of us are on the couch trying to figure out what was going on.
"Who are you guys!?" Ava asked while clearly disturbed. In response, the angry one lifted his hand and it enveloped in fire.
"Hey!" stood in front of Ava protectively.
"Your highness!" The polite one stopped him and then started to introduce himself.
"We are daemos-" "Your name is daemos?" "No, we all are daemos-" "you're all named dameos?" "No, I am Ryhs-" "You're from Rhys?" "Ava!" I whisper shouted, lecturing her although I found it thoroughly amusing.
"Let's not taunt the fire wielding, strength of Thor, demon guys, okay?" She looked at me a little disappointed but nodded.

"Don't worry Ava, it'll be okay. I Promise...."
