Scary and devilish

I could hear the sound of the horses getting closer and closer, I have to think and act fast. Despite the fact that my legs had become worn out and my throat was dry... I need water or I might just die from dehydration. My heart was beating so fast that I could bearly breathe, my head began to spin and I could bearly see, my whole body had become weak but I knew very well that if I want to survive I'll have to keep running. The dark clouds and blurry vision made it very difficult for me to continue running or see where I was headed but I wanted to run. I need to save myself.

"There she is... Catch her." One of the royal guard yelled from afar off.

Luckily for the royal guards, they were all with torchlights which made it very easy for them to sight me from afar off. They began to ride their horses with full speed to my direction.

I immediately stood up and started running again but this time around, I tripped on my long blue dress and I fell to the ground and started rolling uncontrollably. Luckily for me, I was stopped by a tree but, unfortunately I banged my head really hard against the tree that wasn't too far from the one that stopped me by my waist. The pain in my head worsened, everywhere became extra blurry and I couldn't see a thing, I felt something liquid run my face. My head was badly injured and it was bleeding.

"There she is, go get her and bring her to me." The general ordered and hopped down the horse he was riding.

A few royal guards ran to where I laid and picked me up, making me stand but my legs were too weak that I could bearly stand or walk. I could bearly look up to gaze at them or even see anything clearly. They dragged me to the general, their grip on my arms were really strong that my arms stared to hurt. They broght me to where the general stood but they didn't for a second let go of my arms.

"You... You think you'll have just run away from the palace and escape after embarrassing the king like that? Huh!" He yelled at me and raised his hand to hit me.

His strong palm landed on my right cheek and on my left cheek again. I groaned in pain and I felt blood come out of my lip.

"Bring her." The general said then walked away and hopped on his horse.

The guards were already walking towards their horses still not sparing my arms any mercy. I was too weak to struggle with them but I needed to call for help hoping someone might come to my aid.

"Help me..."I tried to yell but my voice came out as a whisper. I knew that if I needed help I'll have to scream even louder, I gathered the little strength I had and screamed and this time around, my voice was loud enough for someone to hear.

Raman was walking in the woods, enjoying the cold breeze that penetrated through his pale skin, when something caught his attention. He could hear a female's voice, he could hear her clearly screaming for help. He suddenly had the urge to save her but no... He's a demon and he has no business with them especially when they're in need of help. He thought to himself and decided to ignore the femine voice. He heard the same voice again and this time around, the urge to save her was stronger than the first time... His demon immediately woke up and began to crawl its way out which made it very difficult for him to fight the strong urge that was slowly eating him up... The urge to save her.

How the hell is this possible? How can a female's voice wake his demon? His demon only comes alive when it's bloodthirsty and in the mood to kill but now a simple voice woke his demon. Raman thought and he immediately found himself walking towards the direction of the voice. He tried to resist and fight the strong and burning urge to save her but no...no matter how hard he tried, his demon has already taken total control of his body and mind.

What the hell is happening? Why isn't he able to control the monster inside him?

His demon became hungry for blood, for the blood of the person who was making this girl scream. His demon wanted to slit this person's throat and remove this person's heart from his or her chest.

I tried struggling with the guards and tried screaming again but no... My body failed me, my body went numb, the little strength I had to scream was gone. Each and every strength I had in me was gone. Just when I was about to pass out, the breeze that penetrated through my skin was extremely cold...colder than usual. The whole woods became darker than it already was, the night had covered the sky but this time around, it wasn't the weather, something was really different, I just knew it.

The guards halted in their steps when they noticed the sudden change but shock it off and continued on their tracks as they were already close to their horses still holding my arms.

"Let go of her..." The voice came from behind. The scary and devilish voice made the guards stop and turn around to see the face of the person still not letting go of Ella's arms.

"And who are you to command the royal guards that way?" The general said, "Bring her." He said and signaled the royal guards to keep walking.

"I won't warn you again... Let go of her arms now...!" The voice became scarier than before which made some of the royal guards shiver in fear.

"We won't let go of her. If it's a fight you want then show yourself and don't hide away in the dark." The general said and hopped down the horse and took two steps forward.

"OK then, have it your way." The voice remained scary and devilish.

The general signaled some royal guards to bring the person who was hiding away in the dark and kill him. The two guards walked ten feet away from the general and drew out their swords ready to fight, but in the blink of an eye, their dead bodies fell to the ground.

The general was shocked and surprised but he didn't want to run away in fear, he ordered some guards to go fight the person who was hiding in the dark and in a matter of seconds, their throat was slit by sharp claws and their dead bodies dropped to the floor.

I felt the grip of the royal guards on my arms loosen up and their hands began to tremble. I couldn't see anything neither did I know what was happening, my brain couldn't register anything at the moment. But, I suddenly heard screams, the royal guards were screaming. They had let go of my arms but I was too weak to stand. Just when I was about to fall, I felt someone's arm around my waist. This very same arm around my waist was musculine, I just knew it.. I could feel this person's very cold temperature against my arm. I tried opening my eyes to see who it was that had caught before I fell to the ground but everything was blurry and in no time, darkness covered my eyes.
