Demons

Chapter 7 Emma

Emma took a step back as Jack fell to his knees, causing her to do the same, pulling him against her as her eyes welled up with tears. "I-I-I'm so sorry-. He-, he made me-" She blurted out as quick as she could, feeling Jack's hand wrapping around her arm. "I know" He told her as he moved his head up to look at her, their dark red eyes meeting. "Don't tell him that, and get away from him Emma" Azazel's voice sounded before a hand grabbed onto her shoulder to pull her back, causing Emma to fall on her behind. Tears rolled down her cheeks as Jack's sight got taken away from her by Azazel stepping in front of her, Jack's blood still dripping from his lower arms, down his hands before landing on the floor. Azazel looked down at her and his face fell, a concerned but also saddened look formed on his face. "Take her away from here" Azazel spoke when he turned his back to her, looking down at Jack again. Dracul quickly entered the room and gently wrapped his arm around Emma's shoulder, this being one of the most gentle touches she felt in a long time. When they left the dungeon Dracul quickly pulling Emma against him, pressing his lips down on top of her head as she softly cried into his chest. His white hair spilled over her body as he leaned forward to hug her tighter, "I'm sorry he made you do that, but at least find comfort in the fact that he would've died otherwise." Dracul spoke, running his fingers through her pitch black hair, which was very contrast to his snow like white hair. "As if this is any better" She softly sobbed against his cold chest, making her miss the warm feeling of human skin even more. She moved her head back up again and wiped away her tears, suddenly hearing frantic footsteps. Emma and Dracul looked at the source of the sound to see Raven, who stopped dead silent in her tracks before turning her head to them. "Oh thank god you're okay, we've been looking everywhere for you" Dracul spoke with a smile, "Please don't tell my father about this.." She begged him, Dracul answering with a simple nod. "You too, please?" Raven asked Emma to her surprise, "If that would make you hate me a bit less, yes of course I won't tell him" Emma answered, quickly wiping away the final tears that still remained. "Thank you both" Raven told them with a small smile before running up the stairs. Emma thanked Dracul for calming her down before returning to her room to get herself together, looking at her face in the mirror. "My lady? Your dinner is ready and the others are waiting for you" A maiden told her, Emma nodding before following the maiden to the throne room. Azazel and the seven sins were chattering while drinking some wine, Azazel's eyes falling on Emma as he smiled at her. Humans who were turned into demons still had to take care of their wounds and feed themselves before they had completely turned, making Emma the only one eating at the table. The demons didn't even need the wine for anything, but Azazel whispered into her ear that it was just something they did out of habit. The seven sins left the dinner table when Emma finished eating, but she made sure not to lay a finger on the glass of water. "Are you okay?" Azazel asked her, his fingers coming up to stroke a few stray strands of her behind her ear. "Yeah, I'll go to bed soon but I just need some time for myself" She answered him, causing Azazel to stand up but she did the same. Emma placed her small hands on his hips and pulled him against her, Azazel leaning down to kiss her. She moved closer to him to let her hands reach behind him, her fingers slipping into his back pockets before her fingers thankfully touched the key, pulling it out before moving it under her bra strap. She pulled away from the kiss to look up in his eyes, feeling her face heating up as she took in how perfect his face actually was. "Don't make it too late" He told her before exiting the throne room too. Emma quickly sprinted to the chest in the corner of the room, pulling out a few rolls of bandages before running past the table. She came to a halt and took a few steps back to grab the still filled cup of water, before continuing her sprint down the stairs. She slipped the key into the locked dungeon door before putting it between her teeth, pushing the door open with her back, letting it fall close with a soft thud. She placed the bandages and water on the ground and held her hand up to a torch, which lit up at her touch. "You again.." Jack groaned before a grin formed on his face as he looked up at her, his hands tied behind his back as a metal collar attached his neck to the wall. Emma stayed silent and kneeled down next to him, moving her hands to either side of his neck to take the collar off. Jack pulled himself away from the wall with his legs, allowing Emma to take the restraints off his hands. "I assume you're not here to save me?" "They'd kill you the moment you set foot out of this door" She told him in response, reaching behind her to grab the bandages. She took his large hand in hers and ripped a piece of the cloth off, before wrapping it around his bloodied wrist. She continued bandaging all the other major wounds on his body, finishing with the large one Azazel made in his ribcage. She tied the bandages together and Jack moved his arm down again, taking the water Emma handed him and downing it within a few seconds. "I can't do anything else for you" She softly said, making him move his bandaged hand up to her cheek. "You've done more than enough for me" He told her, making her wrap her arms around his neck to hug him tightly. "Please don't die" She softly whispered before letting go of him and moving the collar back around his neck, tying his hand together again before quickly exiting the dungeon. She walked up the stairs to Azazel's chambers as quietly as she could, softly pushing the door open and closing it behind her. She felt around in the darkness before she felt something she was sure had to be his leather pants, letting the key slide in before she heard movement in the bed. She quickly crawled on top of it and moved herself on top of Azazel who had just turned on his back. "What're you doing here?" He teasingly asked, "I didn't want to sleep alone tonight" she whispered in response before pressing her lips against his.
