Chapter 5: Get Up And Follow Me
Raven's eyes widened like she just saw a ghost.
She stares at the male figures in front of her, forgetting that she bit someone not long ago.
His hair is yellow, his eyes are held back, his hoodie is incredible, his lips look thin but healthy, he is a thin being. Yet captivating in the eyes of the beholder.
"I am Prince Kancial"
Even if it's just a trance, Raven let a little chuckle escaped her lips both mistakenly and ignorantly.
Mistakenly because it came out unexpected and ignorantly because she and her family are the only Royal Demons living on this earth and away from humans.
So... What's the Prince in his name all about?
Hearing Raven chuckle, Kancial raised a brow at her, expecting her next move but Raven felt like slimy wax in front of this one.
"What's funny?" he ask stubbornly and Raven guessed immediately, that this Prince Kancial, that he calls himself, must be giving his parents a headache.
"Noth-Nothing, I just... Um... I"
Kancial stared at her with the eyebrow raised. Her stuttering is kinda cute but he just looks on. He doesn't want this cute red haired girl to know he already finds her interesting.
"Save it. You're wasting my time" he snaps and Raven has never been insulted before for the Hundred and six years she has lived.
Who is this young man that thinks she's a good prey to be insulted?
"Okay... I'll just go straight to the point," he says after pacing to the left and then to the right with two steps each and then he turned to Raven.
Staring at a Prince like this is awkward. Because it's men or young boys she stares at in the Demons dwelling place.
Not a man like this.
"I saw and heard your father's early speech and I know you are a bit tight right now with all this marriage stuff"
Raven's eye widened. Who is this man and how does he know every single thing going on in the Demons dwelling place and their so-called sorcerers don't know? She really needs to test the capability of those sorcerers to know whether or not she can trust those idiots.
"It's quite surprising huh?" One of the handsome demons behind Kancial asks. Raven's shocked expression leaves both her mind and heart to stop functioning for some split seconds.
Why are all these things happening all of sudden? Why are they just popping out with her not knowing where they are coming from?
"How... Where were you when it happened?"
"And why do you think I'd tell someone like you?" The so-called Kancial asked with a smirk. A stubborn and strong one though that makes Raven sulk inside.
"Slut" he curses under his breath and Raven does nothing but squints her eyes. This Kancial, that they call him, is matching a toe of Raven squarely.
"I won't tell you anything, until you prove to me, that I can trust you. But until then, you're coming with me"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. I don't know you, and I am not going anywhere with you"
Kancial says nothing but folds his arm, the smirk is still on his face and the two demons behind him comfortably fell on the couch and balanced themselves very well and they stare at Raven in front of them.
"Says who?" Kancial ask
"Says me, of course. I mean if there's anything you want me to do or say, I will do or say it but I will not step out of this place with you"
Kancial chuckles. He is very impressed by the boldness of this demon. Even if she heard the title "Prince", she still acts like the title was given to her immediate younger brother.
Kancial says nothing more but maintains the smirk on his face. He takes three steps forward and leans towards Raven who is on the ground with her hand on her chest.
"You will do, whatever I say?" He asks and Raven's eyebrows fell, like she regrets saying it as something flashed in her mind.
"Then get up and follow me. You will be free from marriage disturbances and get married at your own time"
Tempting and strong as it sounds, Raven actually fell for it but believing that she will never see her parents again, her heart sank.
The eyes of these three handsome demons look relevant and not questionable.
The guy that got his legs crossed raised his eyebrows, while the other one winked at her, causing Raven to melt inside.
No one, even Loy, have never, and when I mean never, I mean done that to her. Like never.
"An... And how am I supposed to trust you?" Raven ask
Kancial slowly went on one knee and wiped the strands of hair on the eye of Raven away, enabling him to stare deeply into her eyes.
As the demon enjoyed the moment of slow motion, he was killing Raven bit by bit unknowingly.
She has never experienced someone raising a brow or brows at her nor wink at her or fall on one knee for her and here... These demons are doing it. As if it's easy to be around strangers, her heart is at peace when she's amongst these three men and that is something she has never experienced.
The Demon staring deeply into her, still have that stubbornness in his eyes and Raven squints her eyes and withdrew.
"No, no, no, this... This isn't right. Something's wrong" she mumbled and withdrew from his reach.
She stood up from the ground with her red hair moving from side to side. Her wings are held back to her skin tightly and her hand has finally left her chest and she is swinging it in while demonstrating and talking.
"Wh-Where do you even come from? A-Are you a demon? The devil with the white wings? A-Are you... Are you fiction?"
Kancial stood up and shook his head in annoyance. The other Demons stare at the wings of Raven as well as her face and can't help but imagine her as theirs.
Only God knows what they will do with her.
"I believe if I'm fiction, I won't be in existence" Kancial retorts and Raven thought about what she said earlier.
'Stupid you! Why are you so stupid sometimes!' she yelled inside her head when she remembered what she said and why she included fiction.
"If you want me to follow you then, please... Provide a reasonable reason why" Raven demands and the two demons on the couch look at each other.
Kancial stares at her with a very nasty, yet charming expression. His face is becoming red with anger but he controls himself inwardly.
"I-"
*Knock Knock Knock*
The two seated demons both scramble up from the cushion and panic is written on all of their faces except Kancial.
"Honey? Please open the door, I need to talk to you" It's Golsie.
"Where can we hide?" The Demon that winked at her mouthed and Raven's heart stop beating.
She looks around. Her eyes relentlessly searching for a hideout for these three.
And then it hits her.
"Stay in here!" she whispers and pulls the two doors of her closet.
The Demons mouth open wide except for Kancial who passed unto her a deadly stare.
She wants them to stay where her clothes are?!
