Once I regained my consciousness, I pressed one hand to the floor and lifted myself up, wincing at the pain in my back and my head. I fell onto my bum and leaned against the wall behind me, one hand thrown over my waist as I took in heavy breaths.

I took the time to gain my thoughts and I looked around to see that I was in Blondie's bedroom. The door was heavily locked. I raised my hand and concentrated on the locks, a shock of pain shooting through my body before the locks crumbled and fell to the ground. I stood up and weakly stumbled out of the room, looking down the stairs just to barely see Blondie, Kirstie and Kevin disappear out of my sight.

A worker ran over when he saw my state and helped me gain my composure. "Take me to him."

"We were told to keep you away from Sire for as long as he says, I'm afraid we have to listen to him."

I stared down at the empty hunk of armour and stared at my burning hands. I heard a cry come from the same basement I was met with my first day here. I did my best to run down the stairs and found the door to the basement. Right before I got onto the first steps of the stairs, I felt my head spin and the stairwell seemed to get longer. My breath got caught in my throat and I let out a whimper.

Another cry was heard and I ignored the throbbing pain in my head before running down the steps. I eventually took two at a time, then three until I was practically jumping many steps down the stairs, arriving at the bottom of it.

I saw Blondie hovering above two red-haired Demons, both of them shaking and begging for mercy. "Scott! Stop!" I yelled. I ran forward to push him but he turned, pushing me against the wall with one of his hands and keeping me on it with an invisible force. I felt the force mainly against my throat and soon, my air supply was cut off just enough to keep me from saying anything.

The two demons were brought above the fire pit and dropped in. Blondie shut the two gates of the pit and grabbed two small potion bottles. Little lights floated from a space in the gate and they went into separate bottles that Blondie closed tightly then released me. I fell to my feet and my head throbbed just enough to send me to my knees.

Blondie snapped his head over and walked over to me, crouching down and picking my head up with two fingers. I stared into his dark red eyes and I felt my conscious slip away from me before Blondie smacked me across the face.

"Don't go to sleep. Stay awake." He lifted me up on my feet before picking me up in his arms. "Let me guess, you tried breaking something?"

"T-The locks," I whimpered, curling in Blondie's hold to find some form of comfort."

"Your body is much too small to be doing something that big. What else did you do?" Blondie asked as he walked up the long stairway.

"I killed o-one of the workers. I didn't know t-they were just h-hunks of metal and armour."

"Of course. Their bodies are used for... something else."

"Why are you like this? One minute you're nice to me, then rude, then nice again." I winced at the shooting pain through my head and I felt my eyes lighting up before the red colour went away.

"It's normal for all Demons. We say things we don't mean. It's just something to get used to."
