Luficer's P.O.V continued;

I could taste the caramel latte against my lips as I licked them over and over, my nervous habit whenever I think too much, but of course I couldn't let these demons take the human women, even if I was the king of hell, even I have to have something to protect, other than my life...even if it means to her as well. My guard was rushing through papers, trying to think of any plan as well as I but it was no use, she was on my mind so much that I couldn't think strait.

"What do these demons look like? Are they in demon form? Human form?" I asked, my hand running through my hair and watched Elise's house from the kitchen, her kitchen opposite mine and I could see Elise in the kitchen, hugging Harriet like as if her life depended on it, I could see that they were in deep conversation, but I could tell that Elise was uncomfortable, it angered me a little inside to know that her best friend was questioning her about it. I inhaled deeply, smelling the fresh grass from outside, the hot air all the way to the cup that I drank from in her home, all the way to her, to Elise, her fragrance was intoxicating, I could smell the fresh river and olives against her skin, I closed my eyes, imagining her laying bare against me, my nose running along her figure, in loping into her, treasuring her like a king would do-

"From what the survivor said, they were in human form but there eyes, there was something strange about them, like as if they were sick." My guard frowned down at his own words, making him look more human than demon.

"Guard, how would you like to have a name? I think it's starting to confuse me every time I call you guard." I grumbled, wanting to taste the caramel latte again, maybe I should ask for another tomorrow morning, or even today?

"Really master? You would allow me to be named?" is it really that important to the guard? I roll my eyes and nod my head before I change my mind.

"Thank you master, I mean Lucas, I will choose a name by tonight." A deep blush came across his cheeks before shaking his head and standing strait, he quickly cleared the table and I was thankful to find my kitchen sides again.

"If I may speak freely, I would say that a plan is needed before we decided to leave the house..." I nod my head before rubbing my face, tiredness is upon me even though its morning, I normally sleep during the day and come out when darkness falls, I mentally cursed, grumbling and making me sound like as if I was a blood drinking demon, I am nothing like one of those lifeless scum, most of their flesh is rotted and there tongue is imbedded with fangs instead of the normal teeth, the bones are easily fragile and broken but there hard to get off once they latch on and bite.

"I need to protect her and Harriet, they will find her quickly but why would they need her? Surely Elise is not a virgin." She looks beautiful and irresistible to not be taken in that way...if she is a virgin then...the demons will find her for sure, they would end up torturing her and sacrificing her so they can become immortal, I know this, and I've done it myself.

"But with the dagger, they can harm you...if your hurt then it will be harder to protect her and Harriet is it? When would we taken them? How can we get them to come with us?" maybe I shouldn't let my guard speak so freely so often, he noticed my glare and closed his mouth shut and kept his gaze down.

"When is the dead line when they come for her?" even saying it out loud angered me...they can't take her, even if I had just met her yesterday, I felt the need to protect her and even-no...not yet...I can't speak like that right now.

"In a few days' time but by them, the weather would increase and I don't think no human would stand it." I don't understand...why would they in danger so many to get one girl? Unless...
