The Demon Of Lust

24

Swindle's POV

Agmos leaves the bar and I too feel something is wrong. I follow after him using the shadows to split open a portal outside the bar. I walk through it and snap my fingers closing the portal. I'm back at our home and Agmos appears.

He is shaking with rage and I ask,"What happened?"

He yells,"THEY TOOK HER!!"

I ask,"Who?"

He replies,"DEMINA!"

I get him into the study and Achille walks in.

She asks,"What the hell are you yelling for?"

Agmos replies,"Someone took Demina."

Achille exclaims,"WHAT?!"

Agmos replies,"Swindle and I were at a lycanthrope bar in one of the forest realms and something didn't feel right. I came back and Demina was kidnapped. Her workplace was destroyed. They've hurt her. I don't know how bad."

Agmos begins shaking and I know what that means.

Achille says,"Agmos. Breathe. It won't do her any good to go there now. You need to reserve that for the enemy."

He breathes deeply and goes to the kitchen. Nothing bangs or shatters so that's a good sign.

I look at Achille and say,"I'm going try to keep him calm. You need to rest. We're going to be doing a lot of surveillance and gathering of intel. We must find her, Achille."

She nods and turn to leave when I say,"And we WILL make the enemy suffer."

She leaves and I take a few deep breaths. I nearly lost control like Agmos. We've all come to care about Demina like family. It's hitting Agmos hardest because he's in love with her.

~3 hours later~

I am with Agmos who is pacing in the study.

I say,"I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but take a deep breath. We will find her."

Agmos replies,"When we do I'm going to tear the skin off the fucking bastards that took her. They'll be alive when I do it too."

I say,"You need to clear your head, Agmos."

I see Agmos start to lose control as he yells,"I NEED TO FIND DEMINA!"

I hold my hands up and Agmos closes his eyes getting control.

I say,"I want to find her too. She's become like family."

Agmos sits and for the first time ever in my existence, i hear Agmos' voice crack as he says,"I need to find her alive, Swindle."

I reply,"And we will."

Agmos puts his head in his hands and I want to tell him it will all be alright but I truly don't know. Suddenly, Agmos stands and looks around. I don't see what he's seeing and I watch.

Agmos says,"Demina!"

I'm intrigued and straighten from my leaning position.

He asks,"Where are you?"

He states,"I'm coming for you."

Something happens because Agmos' eyes go wide and his hands ball into fists.

Agmos yells,"DEMINA!"

Agmos is shaking with rage and I walk near him.

He spits out,"Don't. Fucking. Touch me."

I ask,"What did you see?"

He replies,"All I saw was a forest of trees. She was running trying to get away."
