Loving A Demon

⚡Two⚡

I felt very worried even as I watched Jack sleep in the tent later that night. "Dont worry, he'll be fine" Matt assured me. I nodded and blew out a breath. I finally managed to calm myself down and soon I fell deeply asleep.
It was then I heard it.
It was a blood curling scream that awoke me. A chill ran down my spine. Jack! My mind was racing. I was worried that he was hurting.
Quickly, I rushed to his side. "Jack? " I said as I tapped him lightly. He looked up at me with sleepy eyes.
" Elly, what's wrong? " he asked. "I-I just wanted to check if you're fine. "
"You don't have to. Am a little bit sore but am not in a critical condition. "
I narrowed my eyes if he wasn't hurting, then who had screamed?
"Elly? " I looked down to see Jack's worried face.
"Oh, don't mind me. There's absolutely nothing to worry about"I said as I put up a fake smile. "If you say so" he sighed and soon he was fast asleep. Maybe, he'd been so tired. I cant believe I woke him up because of some illusional scream.
I lay back on my sleeping bag. Immeadietly  I shut my eyes, the screaming begin. I realized that it was actually in my head. It sounded like the person was in so much terrifying agony. Also, I could tell that it was a male. Meanwhile, I slept off hours later.

When it was finally morning, we began our journey once more. We had to stop for a brief rest because of Jack's injury. Lucy was sitting on a stone staring into the space in front of her while I was kneeling beside Jack watching him drink water from my water bottle. He looked terribly pale and I felt sad that I had not been able to prevent the attack.
Matt was standing near a tree whistling. Suddenly, I felt tensed. I felt like something bad was going to happen. I could feel it approaching but I couldn't tell its direction.
In a flash, it happened.
A huge griffon suddenly emerged from no where and snapped Matt's neck, separating it from his body.
"Matt!!! " we all screamed but it was too late. Matt was dead and the griffon was long gone.
"No! Matt is dead! We are not safe the demons know we are here! They are coming for us! We are going to die! "Lucy sobbed as she stared at Matt's limp body.
We managed to console ourselves and we finally buried Matt. It was very painful to us but I felt guilty at the same time.
I should have protected him
I should have prevented his death!!!!
I heard the screams once more in my head. I swayed unconsciously and Jack held me. I sank to my knees and rested my head on his chest.
"Can you tell me what just happened? "
"No, I don't want to talk about it".......
