King's Soldier

Darker Secrets

Three years later.....

Jack sighed as he looked over to Emilia.
God, she's beautiful. Does she even think about me or is her heart set for Joe?
Emilia caught him staring and smiled. Joe pouted like a sad little puppy dog. Jack stood up from his seat at the table in the bar. Jack blushed as he walked past her, she grabbed his arm and whispered "love you."
Jack knew she only meant as a very good friend and it hurt him. He wanted to kiss her so badly but he knew it was a crazy idea, he nodded and continued outside. Jack took in the fresh air, the smell of horses and dead ashes.
Fuck! She's driving me crazy!
Jack sighed just as Joe walked out.
"Having trouble with Miss.Beautiful?"
"Huh?" Jack stared in question. Joe groaned and nodded as he walked over to his horse,
"I'm going over to the kitty house." He chuckled and rubbed his groin.
Jack sat down and sighed.
If he knows, does she?
After an hour or so Jack went back inside to find three huge men towering over Emilia. Emilia looked annoyed as she softly told them off, "leave me alone. I don't want any of you slimy, smelly pigs."
The man with a beard pulled her closer by her wrist, "now now missy, that's no way to talk to guards."
Emilia laughed "you're nothing but little dogs, so scared with your tails between your legs. Get away from me."
The man with red, curly hair tried to grab her butt but Emilia's eyes turned black, her nose and mouth grew into a long snout, her bones broke as she yelled out in pain, her fingernails became huge claws and her hair fell out at a rapid pace. Everyone watch in horror as two huge bones with flaps of skin emerged from her shoulder blades. Jack sighed as everyone else screamed. Emilia stood up on two huge legs. Her ears turning large and pointed and her skin becoming armoured with a silver plated body.
"Ahhhwooo!!" Emilia roared and smashed a chair with her huge tail. Jack ran over to her as people ran in the other direction.
"Hush my little angel, let your dreams take wing. Sleep my little angel, fly above the world so high..." Jack stroked her long, scaly snout as he sang the song of the demon hunters also known as the music of the night. Emilia slowly laid down as Jack continued to whisper softly in her ears. Soon Emilia was snoring and Jack sighed happily. Jack turned to the whole bar and growled "Leave now!" Everyone cleared out as Jack turned back to Emilia. Smoke slowly slithered out of her nose and mouth as her body slowly heaved up and down. Joe walked in and chuckled, "so you finally know her secret?"
Jack nodded and sat down in a chair.
"What is the story behind that?" Jack looked over to Emilia with a sigh.
Joe shook his head, "ask her yourself when she's calmed down."
Jack nodded and laid beside Emilia.
~~~Time Skip~~~
Emilia woke up naked beside Jack.
"Jack!" She shoved Jack and he groaned as he pulled his head off the ground.
"What is this?" She held her arms over her bare chest.
Jack shrugged, "why don't you tell me. You're a demon."
"I-I....yes I am." She held her head down as she stood up. Jack stood up and took off his shirt.
Emilia gasped and Jack sighed, "don't get excited. I'm giving you something to wear."
Jack handed her his shirt and she pulled it over her bare chest. Jack rubbed his abs and looked around, his eyes glued on a full pie.
"Want some pie?"
"No I'm good." Emilia turned bright red. Jack shrugged and dug into the apple pie. Jack's shirt went down to her knees so she sighed and looked over at the pie eating royal guard. A small chuckle escaped Emilia's lips and Jack questioned her with a look, his left eyebrow went up and his nose scrunched up and a tiny smile has hidden at the corners of his thin lips.
"I'll tell you my past if and when we defeat Richard."
"How is that fair?"
"You'll want to not die now." She smiled innocently as Jack finished his pie. A groaned escaped his lips as he stood up, "we should get moving. Everyone here saw you turn, you know they're going to want to come hunt you down."
Emilia nodded and sighed "let's go find Joe."
~~~Time Skip~~~
"Joe are you serious?" Emilia punched him in the gut. Joe lost all of his breath and staggered backwards, he took a few minutes to catch his breath before he breathed out, "you still got it babe."
Emilia rolled eyes as he smiled cocky. Jack sigh and kept walking with his horse's reign tightly held by his hand. Emilia turned to follow behind him.
"Look..." Emilia started but Jack shook his head,
"It doesn't matter. If you're going to tell about your past, it will be your own."
Emilia sighed and nodded, a smile crept upon her lips. Joe groaned and looked behind him before following far behind them. Jack and Emilia held hands as Jack told her about his life.
She is beautiful. There is no living creature more perfect then her.
His thoughts flowed from his mind and almost out of his softly spoken mouth, he quickly pretended to cough so she wouldn't catch on.
They started walking toward the forest of Dule, there they would find a creature who would do anything for King Richard's head in it's food.
