Monster

I remain standing, head tilted slightly upwards at the emerging terror above me.

'Was I really that wanted or could they have tracked my scent here?' I couldn't stop my brain from racking to find answers to each of my questions.

Still lost in my thoughts, I blink and I find the demon standing right in front of me.

I gasp. "How... did you do that?" I ask, wisely taking a step back.

The smile it gives is far from terrifying.

It advances towards me, but with each advancing step I take a step backward. And still, It doesn't answer my question.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask, voice a whisper.

It laughs, "are you really that naive girl?!" It asks, voice high. It pauses an inch away from me before a thunderous laughter rumbles out of his throat.

He was really enjoying every damn second of it.

"what do you mean?" I ask carefully, I was still weak from the fire of earlier. One wrong move and I might be dead.
