First Encounter

"I would rather not," Zayde replied turning her down almost immediately. One thing he knew about truth and dare, was that he was never a great player, and it was a fifty-fifty situation. However, with someone like Ash around, it was a Forty five-Fifty five situation.

He knows the idiotic dares Ash would give him, especially with girls involved. Thinking about it made him shiver.

"Give valid reasons why Or else I will assume you a scared," Ash suddenly chipped in, moving from Ravena's back to her side, his eyes focused on Zayde who had a visible scowl on his face.

Zayde remained calm, although he was trembling, 'If i don't give an answer he will force me to play this wretched game, No. I can't and I won't,' He told himself and laughed nervously.

"You see, Arya and I are going to get some food stuff, so Rave and I could whip up something good for dinner," He stated in one breath, grabbing hold of poor Arya's arms.

He moved closer to Ravena and leaned in, placing a peck on her cheek, "Put him to sleep, drugs, songs, just tire him out. And I promise to reward you," he whispered increasing the heat that she felt when he initially kissed her, she nodded slowly and dropped her head, clenching her fits in determination.

Zayde hurried into the house still holding Arya, he pushed her towards the stairs roughly and sighed. "That bastard!" He groaned in frustration, ruffling his hair as his blood boiled. "Get dressed and stop staring at me!" He snapped at Arya who flinched but hurried up the stairs to her bedroom.

[The Host should be cautious of his rage level]

"You don't expect me to me calm, that idiot keep getting on my nerves, it's so annoying," He said, complaining about how Ash treated him like a kid, he was mostly annoyed by how much Ash knew about him.

Thinking about it made him groan loudly and plop himself on the couch, he stretched out his hand to the table where his phone was, he picked it up and turned it on, seeing a single message from an anonymous.

He frowned, sucking in bottom lips "I don't remember giving anyone my phone number," he mumbled, going through the photos of the past Shadow lord that the person sent. His eyes fell on the last photo, a picture of that Zayde, his hands tied, with a gag in his mouth.

He had claw marks all over his skin, one of his eyes red like a vein had been burst in them, he was barely even alive, his tanned skin was pale and dirty with body fluids from who ever tortured him. Zayde cringed and shivered, it was like seeing himself being brought down to such a level.

Death? No problem

Embarrassment, sure, but he would always take revenge.

Bullying, He was a bully, five college bullies stuffed in one lanky teenager.

But being messed up to a point he is put in a vulnerable position, that was meant to be for girls was something he would not let slide at all.

He scrolled to the last message, reading the words one by one, and at the same time his eye widened.

"Screamers Kreme and Kakes," He read out, a scoff escaping his lips as he read the message again. An address with nothing but a smiley face emoji.

"First, stupid name, secondly I have got to find this person, he should have some information for me," He rose to his full height and shoved the phone into his pocket. He threw on a hoodie and grabbed Ash's helmet and bike keys.

He made his way to the kitchen to grab something to drink but was met with Ravena holding Arya against the counter with a knife between her breasts. And from his perspective, Ravena looked more deadly than he had imagined, and her eyes was a shade of silver and red.

"Stay away from Zayde or else you will not live to see twelve A.M tomorrow, got that," Ravena said through gritted teeths, tightening her grip on Arya's arms.

Arya scoffed and tried to wriggle out of her hold, but to no avail. "You know Ravena, I don't think you have a chance with him, he was a human and will always be unless he is heartless and kills without feeling."

"Let me tell you something, For a girl who hides her true side because of a mistake she made in the past, you do know how to pretend. You act all cute and adorable, but deep down you are a mentally deranged succubus who is cannot function without having sex."

Arya stated in one breath, panting lowly when she finished, she could feel Ravena's grip loosening, her words getting into her head instantly and saw it as a chance to switch places.

She swept Ravena off her Feets and placed herself on her, her green eyes glowing sinisterly as she gazed down at Ravena. "You see, your stamina alters when you abstain from activities you are supposed to be doing with any man you come across, that is is how succubi are. You are a disgrace."

"What if I don't want any man? I just want to stick to one, one that can help me when I am in need, if he doesn't like it, then I would rather feed on milk and honey to help me and then live on, by his side. At least I am not a banished halfling," Ravena smirked at the last word, but had a knife held to her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Destroying what triggers what ever he feels for you."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Zayde said, making his presence known, he walked over to the two girls and crouched down beside them, his eyes not leaving Arya's for once.

"Everything you said just now is wrong, I agree that I was a human, but you don't know anything about me. I could murder you here without spilling blood or breaking anything and freeze your body, chop it into pieces and feed it to hell hounds, we do have hellhounds right?" Ravena replied with a nod and he continued.

"First of all, I apologize, Rave. For not being able to do what the last did, The whole sex thing doesn't sit well with me, but if it could get you to function properly without looking pale and silent all the time. Then I would be happy to, but don't complain when you pass out in between. I have a habit of pouring my rage into everything I do, alright?"

"Yes master."

Zayde flashed her a brief smile and turned to Arya, "And you, Halfling," he chuckled, "I would have pardoned you because you are like that bastard out there, but you are not, people like you are the reason the world is bad, unfortunately I won't hurt you. You are still useful," a smile found his way to his face "I want to know everything you know about your crew, but before that, I want you to take me somewhere."

He said and moved away from them, watching silently as Arya got up from Ravena and shoved her away slightly. "Where?" She asked, dusting off invisible dirt from he body.

"A cafe called Kreme and Kakes, I am taking Ash's bike, Ravena will drop you off though the threshold gates, understood?"

"Yes," she mumbled, her mood changing the moment she heard she was under Ravena again.

"Also, Rave, You shouldn't keep worrying about the past, It's like an illusion that you can't recreate," He gave a genuine smile for the second time she had met him, and watched him leave.

Then she turned to Arya with a creepy smile that made her jolt out of fear, "I was holding back because of him, But now....I will do horrible things to you if you mess up. And that includes making you squirt till no liquid is left in your body," she smiled sweetly and held out her hands, "You first and please don't hesitate to call me if anything goes wrong."

_______

Zayde pulled up in front of a pink and purple building, bustling with life as loud music came from inside, he parked the bike on the opposite side of the cafe and pulled his mask over his face.

He alighted the bike and hurried over to the cafe where Arya stood. He stared at the screen of his phone, expecting another message. He was extremely impatient and with the level of rage building up within him, he would just smash the guys face.

"How long have you been here?" He asked, as he raised his gaze from the anonymous sender.

"Five minutes, I hate her."

"Good for you," He smiled and turned around hoping to see someone suspicious or an Hyperion soldiers. However, someone wearing a bunny mask walked up to him with their hands dipped into their pocket.

The person was muscular and it was visible through the pink hoodie they wore, the person was also taller than Zayde, an intimidating height but Zayde was unfazed

Zayde frowned as the person came closer, causing his to tighten his fists as he prepared to hit the stranger if anything happened. Instead, the stranger leaned closer to him and chuckled softly.

"Zayde," the person spoke dragging his name with a throaty tone. "You look even more tasty than the last. How did reincarnation feel like?"

Zayde scoffed and crossed his arms, "Why did you send me all that?"

"To show you how you looked then, and to remind you that you are playing with the person who made you who you are. I will mess you up so bad once I get hold of you again, I will rip out the last of your horns and use it to molest you." The stranger paused and moved closer.

"I feel fear," He chuckled, "Perfect, Just watch your back and if we meet again I will do more than threaten you, Shadow."
