I moan a little and shake my head slowly. I swallow arduous, my throat is dry and so is my mouth. I open my eyes and look around me dazed. Everything is a blur that spins around. I blink a few times and try to see sharper. Two brown eyes look in mine. I spook up a little but groan again because of my head. A huge sting pain shoots through my head. The pain doesn't fade away. It feels like someone is slamming against my skull with a hammer. I try to sit up, but my limbs don't listen to me. Again, a wave pain flows through my head and I groan again.

'Careful, that's probably a concussion. But don't you worry, a little rest and you'll be perfect again,' I hear the voice of Keith saying. Memories of earlier jump before my eyes. Tom, Keith, the power, his offer, the black eyes. A demon. He's a demon! I look up to Keith. He looks at me mollified and he strokes along my cheek softly with his hand. 

'Thought about my offer?' he asks. 'Screw - you!' I snap, my head aches again and I gasp for air.  

The demon pulls something from his pocket. He binds it over my mouth and ties it on the back of my head. 'I'm sorry, but you could scream and that could maybe alarm people,' the demon says. I want to slam in in his face, but my hands are tied to a pipe that's attached to the bar. I sit on the floor with my back against the bar with my hands tied up and a cloth gag in my mouth. I'm so screwed.

The demon walks away to the window and looks out it. I try to untie the ropes holding my hands, while trying I look around for Tom. He's tied up somewhere else. Tom looks at me and nods slightly, making my head hurt harder. I blink a few times and try to calm myself down. I pull harder at the rope, causing it to cut into my waists. I moan a little. The demon looks up at us. 

'What did you say, pet?' He asks. I shake my head slowly. The demon walks to me. I try to push myself away from the demon with my feet, but I only push myself harder against the bar. The demon kneels next to me and he cocks his head. I look at my feet. The demon hits me in my face. I scream a little, but you can't hear it through the gag. My cheek burns and my head hurts so much I think my skull is going to crack. 'Shut up, pet. Who says you shouldn't hit pets to make them listen?' the demon says. 

'Leave her alone!' Tom snaps. The demon looks up and stares at Tom as a prey that just noticed the smell of danger. His attitude quickly changes from prey to predator. 'What? Don't ye want me to touch her? Don't you want me to hurt her?' He asks with a sweet voice. 'You can take your worries and shovel them up your ass. You can't protect her, only I can. And she has to see that.'

The demon lifts my head up a little and he looks me deeply in the eyes. I only can stare back at him scared. It's like my body stopped working. The demon's eyes turn black again and he bends over to me. I turn my head away, but with a stinging pain my head gets turned back. The pain makes me nauseous. 'Keep looking at me love,' he says. I close my eyes and wait for what's coming. Let it please be over quick, please let the pain go away.
