He is going to kill me and never stick to the agreement. Not that the Demon Lord had actually made one about getting the little human bitch for my brother, he just knows how to string along anyone to get them to do what he wants. What the Demon Lord doesn't yet know is that I am not going to just hand her over, oh-no I am going to keep her and use her as a bargaining chip. He won't hand over my brother unless I make him sign an unbreakable contract and I can't get him to do that if I don't have something he wants. All the planning in the world could never have gained me my brother's freedom, I thought I would find a way to get him out centuries ago. I thought if I only had enough time I could figure it out.

I just need to find the girl and I can get the ball rolling. I can't afford to lose her when I am now so close to my brother's freedom, he has been in the pits for far too long already. He will most likely be crazy by now but he is family and the only family I have left. The girl for my brother's freedom, nothing will make me happier than seeing the Lord's face when he is met with my contract. A sick sense of enjoyment excites my cells and I know there is a huge grin on my face. He won't be able to touch her when I grab her. He will need me to get her and I will refuse until he gives me back my brother.

I breathe in and once again look around the small cabin, there are too many smells to separate them but I know she was here. If she was as beat up as they claimed she was, she would have needed a few days to heal some and get back on her feet. This means she might have left over 24 hours ago but I don't think she did. No place to go, been running for days and has not been under attack I would think that would have made her have a brief sense of relief. Hope that she wouldn't be found out here could have led her to believe she is somewhat safe. She was wrong but then again, she is only a human, how would she know there are demons that will never give up the search until their Demon Lord let them?

My good mood plummets when I remember I still need to call the Lord's assistant with an update. I dial the number on my mobile and wait for the connection and the connection is so bad I cannot make out a word when she answers. I hang up and breathe deep going through each smell as they come to me. A dog. A male. Coffee, tea. The sweet scent of blood and cinnamon, two smells that seem strange to be together. There is no denying she was here; the stink of blood is too strong. I follow it like a hound to a trail, from the bed to the couch. I come to the middle of the cabin above an old rug and realize there is a hollow sound under my feet.

I have you now little human, you can run but I will always find you.  There is no other option for me.
