Into the Other World

7.

"Are you sure about it?",asked the queen.

"Your majesty I am sure about this",said Christofre.

The queen thought for a while and then she asked Christofre to leave.

"The legendary Demon Slayer is a human?",said the queen.

"Your majesty",said Harley,"May I advice you we should keep a closer watch on her before making any conclusions".

"Haven't we kept her long enough Harley?",said the queen.

"Your majesty a Dragon Slayer has more power than any of us",said Harley,"We should see if she really is one".

The queen took Harley's advice and told Christofre to not leave Ivy's side for one second.

Days passed by and nothing out of the ordinary happened. As for Ivy she never got any privacy,Christofre as the queen ordered never left her side. Till one day Ivy got sick of it.

"One minute!!! Only one minute of me time that's all I want!!!",shouted Ivy throwing things at Christofre.

"My...my...my lady forgive me...but...but the queen will kill me if I leave you.",said Christofre hiding behind a chair.

"This stupid place!!! I want to go home!!! I can't stand it here anymore!!!",shouted Ivy.

She stormed out the room and slammed the door behind her. Christofre left his hiding spot and followed behind her.

"Get lost!!!",shouted Ivy,"I see you following me again I'll break all your bones!!!".

Christofre frightened by her threat iust stood still on the spot.

Angrily Ivy stormed out of the palace,even the guards couldn't stop her.

Alone and finally getting privacy in the garden she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked up at the sky and stared at the stars twinkling.

"I want to to back home",she said,"Mom,dad I miss you"

Christofre in value of his precious life stood behind a huge tree and watched. He got a shock when he suddenly saw Ivy crying. According to him she was a heartless person who was not likely to be seen crying or showing her weakness.

"A little birdie told me that a Demon Slayer is here",someone said.
Ivy gasp,"Who are you!! How did you get here?"

"I'm a master of the dark arts my lady",he said,"And you are lost".

"I...I'm not lost...I..."

"I can help you",said the stranger,"But you have to come with me".

Christofre jumped out and pulled Ivy behind him.

"Leave this place at once",said Christofre.

"A Dragon Slayer...I thought your kind extinct a long time ago",said the stranger.

The stranger sighed,"It seems he's eager to protect you,I can't help you with him like this".

The stranger created a portal and took one last look at Ivy.

"My offer still stands",said the stranger,"But remember I can change my mind easily".

He then got into the portal and disappeared.

"Are you alright?",said Christofre concerned.

"Tell me!!! Tell me everything right now!!!",said Ivy.

"WHY DID HE CALL ME A DEMON SLAYER!!!WHY DOES THE QUEEN WANT YOU TO GUARD ME!!!TELL ME NOW!!!!!!"
