When Demons Invade
Kaitlyn
I was being dragged by the castle guards after I had completed with my sword training and other weapons that day.
As the flames around the room lit the stained glass underneath my feet, I resisted and tried to fight them off, even managing to break free once running towards the space I had called my room, before the sound of their armored boots clacked against the ground and eventually kicked me in the back causing me to stumble and fall short of where I was running.
I had to get away.
I had to get away from them—this was a time where I knew what Erik wanted, and every time I resisted, or even put a show of resistance, I was beaten to near unconscious levels, barely having enough stamina to fight back even more.
As they advanced, my caretaker Laci sidestepped in between them.
“Move Caretaker” One of the guards spoke to her, his voice booming from his helmet. “She is summoned by the King himself.”
