Chapter 51

Book:Damian's Demon Clan Published:2025-2-8

Willow’s POV
…….
” How much farther is it?” I ask Damian.
He takes his eyes off the road for a few seconds to give me a quick glance and a smile spreads across his face. ” It’s not to much farther. We are almost there I promise.” He says as he gently places his hand on my thigh and gives it a gently squeeze.
” I only ask cause we been in the car for two hours and I kinda have to pee.” I tell him.
Damian let’s out a chuckle, ” I can pull over if you want? We still have thirty more minutes to go.”
” You are going to need to pull over. I been holding it for an hour already.” I tell him.
I don’t think I can hold it for another thirty minutes that’s for sure.
I can feel the car slow down before it comes to a stop on the side of the road. Damian unlocks the car doors. While I unbuckle my seat belt and open the car door.
I get out and shut my door behind me. I smile feeling nice cool air blow against my skin.
It feels very nice out here. I am happy it isn’t burning up like it was before we left the house. The guards weren’t lying when they said it was hot outside. When me and Damian left the house. The sun was still out and it was like walking into a sauna with all your clothes still on.
Which is why I am happy the dress Damian picked out is loose and allows air to flow through no matter the heat, because it was definitely hot outside.
Walking onto the desert looking ground I manage to find a brush. I look behind me to find Damian following a few feet behind.
” Why are you following? ” I asked him with a small laugh.
” I have to take a piss too and it’s not like I haven’t seen everything already.” He tells me bluntly.
Yeah, he does have a point there.
Walking behind the brush I pull my underwear down and hike my dress up a bit. I slow squat down careful not to fall backwards. As I start to relieve myself I let out a soft sigh.
Peeing has never felt so good especially when you been holding for a long time.
As I finish up and pull my underwear back up. I hear something move in the distance as I am fixing my dress.
” Damian what was that?” I whisper to him.
When he doesn’t answer I turn around to see he isn’t on the other side of the brush like I thought he was. He was missing and no where in sight.
Hearing a loud roar has the hairs on the back of my neck standing. I can feel the ground shaking beneath my feet.
I’m not sure what that is but it sounds huge. I am going to wait for Damian in the car.
I lean down and take my slip on shoes off and run back to the car as fast as I can. Once I get to the car I open the passenger side door and climb inside quickly. I quietly shut the car door and lock it.
I can feel the car shake as the roars and footsteps get closer.
I had forgotten how dangerous outside of Damian domain can be. It’s been a long time but this situation is bring back bad memories.
… ~ FLASHBACK FROM THREE YEARS AGO ~ …
The smell of smoke fills the air and my nostrils making my lungs and eyes burn.
The howls and roars of wild animals can be heard in the distance.
I bang against the glass window trying to get it to open but it won’t budge. I look around desperately for something to break the window with.
I stumble and trip over objects that had fallen in the floor from people running to get out of the small restaurant lobby.
I can’t go out the front door like everyone else so stupidly did. When the building caught on fire. I know the demons are waiting there for humans to come running out.
I have shitty luck to stop and rest at a village that does human sacrifices to keep the demons in the surroundings areas happy.
They don’t even sacrifice themselves. They sacrifice traveler or strays that happen to wonder in. This isn’t the first time I have been in this situation. Over time I have learned all there tricks. I don’t drink anything the villagers offer because they could put some kind of sleeping drug in it. Don’t ever follow them to a random place alone or run to help a child that looks to be in danger.
Ninety-nine percent of the time a child is never in actual danger. I should know I use to be a favorite of my demon clan back home. I use to deceive people the same way these kids do.
I use to think what I was doing was good and helpful to my small village. The demons would give me gifts and even give our village things in return.
I find a broken piece of wood laying on the ground and pick it up.
It must be from one of the wooden chairs. It probably got broken during the stampede of people trying to leave.
It better than nothing I need to break this window and get out quickly. The smoke is starting to became thick making it harder to breathe and see.
I rip part of my dress and tie the fabric over my mouth and nose.
It doesn’t help very much but it will have to work for now.
I walk back over to the window and grip the pieces of wood tightly. I swing it hard into the window and jump in joy as the window breaks on contact.
I knock out any sharp pieces before carefully climbing out the window.
Once outside I cough breathing in the fresh clean air. I wipe the tears from eyes in attempt to stop the burning.
” Look boys! Looks like we got a cleaver one here!” A man says. I look over at him and stare at his white spiked hair and fire symbol tattoo on his neck.
He must be part of the fire demon clan. They are demons that trade humans with other demons. They even breed with humans and use there own children as slaves to do there biding.
I’m not sure how I am going to get out of this.
……. ~ FLASHBACK OVER ~ …..
Hearing the roars get closer the demon finally comes into view.
My eyes widen at the sight of it.
It’s a giant demon bear and it is pissed off.
I put my seat belt on and place my hand over my baby bump.
I don’t know where your daddy went but if he doesn’t help us. I am seriously going to haught him as a ghost.
I watch as the demon bear makes eye contact with me and I feel nothing but fear.
” Damian!” I yell as the gaint demon bear starts charging towards the car.
I watch as it quickly closes the distance and is just inches away from the car. I close my eyes and give my baby one last gentle rub.
