Demons

I was still in the forest. I sat against the tree and started to cry. I didnt want to marry him! I never had respect for his childesh actions. I looked up and saw Jace walking towards me. I slowly got up. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "I come here to be alone." I said annoyed. Jace gripped his hand around my neck and pushed me to the tree. I struggled to break free. "You will be mine Anastasia!" He yelled, threw me to the ground and left. I was knocked out.

I woke up in a Cabin. There were so many spiderwebs and old antique furniture. I was in a bed covered by a black silk blanket. I slowly sat up. My head hurt and my vision was alittle blurry. I looked to my right and saw that mysterious man.

"W-where am I?" I studdered.
He looked at me and ignored the question. "Who was that man?" He asked. My vision was alittle more clear. "He's the man my mother is making me marry for money." I replied. The mysterious man gave me some water. I slowly drank it. "Thank you."

He got up and walked towards the fireplace. "What is your name?" He asked. "Anastasia Swan."

"And what was the name of that man who abused you?" He asked. I looked into his dark eyes. "Why do you want to know?" I questioned. "So I know which guy to kill if he ever tries to hurt you again." The mysterious man said.

I slowly got up and walked over towards him. "His name is Jace, but may I ask what your name is?"

The mysterious man looked into my eyes. "Derek."

"Where are you from Derek?" I knew he wasnt from here, ive never saw him before. Before he could answer there were two big bangs on the door. Derek looked out the window. "Stay here." He said. I watched him walk slowly to the door, but before he could open it, this creature broke through the window. Glass was everywhere. Derek grabbed his knife. The creature was green with big, yellow eyes. It had pointy ears and very little hair on its head. "Stay back!" Derek yelled. The creature growled, revealing its sharp and bloody teeth. It jumped on Derek and he threw it down on the ground. It instantly got up and ran up the wall on to the ceiling. I ran behind Derek "What is that thing?!" The creature jumped down and scratched Derek's arm. Derek pushed it to the ground and stabbed the creature, making it burn up and vanish in thin air.

"What was that thing!?" I asked again. Derek looked down. "A demon."

Derek put down the knife. "You should go home before it gets dark."

I looked up and slowly nodded.
