The Man

Cassandra's heart is beating too fast. As soon as she saw the man, she knew she was dead. The demon looked at her with fearful eyes.

"Come," the demon said as he smiled at her, "I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to know if U Saw a baby here".

He doesn't look threatening, but it's a little suspicious.

Cassandra looked at the man. His eyes were black as night, his hair is white as snow, he has two horns on his head and a long pointy tail. He is wearing glasses and a suit that looks like a butler. The demon servant came closer to her. ''well?" The butler said, slightly annoyed.

Cassandra moved back away. She was afraid that if she said something, a terrible thing would happen, so she just shook her head like saying no.

The demon's face changed, and his smile disappeared. He looked at the demon soldiers he bought and said, "still nothing. " he asked them,

"No sir," they responded.

The man looked at Cassandra again angrily and yelled, "I will ask you again. Where is she?" His eyes glow like it's going to eat her alive out of fear Cassandra fell off her knees.

She backed away when the demon butler approached her. "Okay, don't be scared child. I won't kill you." the man said, trying to calm his expression. "do u live here?" the man asked.

"But no one has been living in this place. Why are you here?" the demon butler wondered.

Cassandra doesn't want to talk, but the man's eyes are tempting her to answer honestly. She saw some mist around her and everything was blurry. Her head started to get dizzy. "I'm asking you, why are you here?" the man asked again.

Cassandra's sanity slightly returned after she got that notice, then she realized the demon was trying to manipulate her mind. After she recovered, she looked at the man's face and said, 'I Was lost and I found this place' she answered blankly, "the place was empty when I got here she continued.

The demon butler knew she was lying because he didn't notice that his power is not working anymore.

"This place, if forbidden, no one should be here," he said.

Cassandra was trembling in fear, but she hid her hand behind her back so he wouldn't notice and was lucky he didn't. "I just got lost,'' she answered convincingly. The demon butler was convinced since he knew he had used his power on her.

Then the man's face changed again. It looked like he was angry and ready to kill someone. "Sir, we found nothing," the soldier got back to report to him.

The demon butler's face darkened and Cassandra's feeling was not wrong. A black mist looked like a sword formed on his hand and he immediately cut their throats. The black blood splattered everywhere.

Some of the blood got on Cassandra's face, she can't move, she can't believe that she had just witnessed that, she wanted to puke but she can't move her head went blank and she nearly fainted again this is the first time that Cassandra experience this situation that this is the first time she saw someone died.

Cassandra takes on her courage and stands up. She saw the demons were distracted, so she used this as a chance to escape "skill stealth" she whispered, then she vanished

[notice: due to some experience gained skill, stealth mastery increases level 2]

The upgrade really helped her because this time her presence really vanished and the demons did not notice her. But she doesn't really have time to think. She just ran as fast as she could from that place, as she reached, outside she looked back at the castle she stayed in.

It doesn't really look like a castle because it was small and ruined. But because of the way it looked, you can say it was a castle. The castle looked old. It has dark black stone walls, small towers from each side with small slit-like windows, and an enormous door in front.

She saw the small window outside that was her room.

Cassandra felt sad looking at all the hard work cleaning it went to waste, but that made her mind just escape from that place. She ran as fast as she couldn't know she had entered the dark forest of mist.

[End of flashback]

Cassandra opened her eyes as she was laying in bed. She looked at the wooden ceiling. She looked at the side and saw no one is around.

She sat up then she looked around. It was in a small room with only 2 chairs and a table, a small fireplace with two small windows at the side and a bed she's lying on right now. 'what happened?' she mumbled while touching her head because it hurt like hell.
