The Demon Inside

Chapter 9

You gasped and jumped up from your laid position; you winced at the pain in your neck. Your heart was racing like you or something important to you was under threat, like you had been fighting. You hands reached up one to hover above your neck and the other was placed on your chest trying to calm yourself down. You other hand hovered above the bite wound on your neck not touching it knowing that you'd only make it worse and put yourself through even more pain, than you were already feeling.

Light filtered through the window and you noticed that you were in your human form in your bedroom alone, the silence was defining. You felt very sluggish and... human, like a human after a heavy night of drinking, a behaviour that you always frowned upon in jealousy that your yourself couldn't get drunk and run away from your problems. You hated the feeling, your senses were dulled and you kept toppling over from your seated position.

Eventually you managed to ground yourself enough to be able to stand, and you did, however the moment all of your weight was over your feet you toppled over in the opposite direction from your bed and into the cabinets. A massive crash followed and the cabinets themselves fell over and landing onto your head and body.

You groaned from your pathetic position on the floor, the world around you spun and loud thumps could be heard in the distance. You couldn't move, your strength completely ripped away from you, instead you just shut your eyes and tried to get back to sleep, your body screaming in pain.

Your felt the cabinet get lifted as feet dashed around you, it sounded like thousands of people in your confused state and arms lifted your limp body from the floor "(Y/N) are you ok? You shouldn't have gotten out of bed" it sounded like Finny but you couldn't really tell.

You opened your eyes and lifted your head to see three blurry and swaying figures. You heavily leaned back on Bard unaware of the light blush that settled on his cheeks Finny pulling you a bit to take some of your weight.

"You really shouldn't have left the bed, no you shouldn't" Mey-Rins voice filtered through the confusion.

"Come on guys, let's get her back to bed" it sounded like Bard.

You where moved backwards but before you could be out into bed you planted your feet and stopped everything. You didn't want to go to bed you wanted to do something and not be useless, that's why you had gotten up in the first place. "(Y/N)?"

You didn't say anything back, just stood stock still trying to catch your confused brain up to everything that was happening around you. You could hear steps in the far distance, that echoed through your skull, you knew that the other three had no idea someone was approaching you all, until a voice spoke up from the door way.

"You three, back to work. I'll make sure Miss (Y/N) is back to bed and ok" a slender arm wrapped around your waist another going under your legs to pick you up.

You heard quick steps as the trio quickly ran off, with a glance back to you, to complete their tasks. You felt yourself be carried out of your room and down the hall, you eyes closed and fell into the sway from Sebastian's steps, head resting against his chest.

Eventually you felt yourself get placed on something soft and comfortable, your eyes shot open and met glowing red eyes which filled your vision. The bed dipped as Sebastian climbed on top and straddled you, literally blotting our the sun when he released his large black wings covering you both in darkness.

He leaned down and licked the bite wound on your neck that had begun bleeding again from the cabinet incident "your blood tastes divine my darling".

You placed your hands against his chest and wearing pushed groaning "why?".

"Why what?" Sebastian's eyes met yours when he lifted his head to look at you.
