Willow’s POV
……..
I close my eyes and give my baby one last gentle rub. I can hear the bear let out a loud roar that causes the car to shake violently.
While it’s paws hitting against the ground sounds like a bomb going off with each step.
” I am so sorry baby!” I cry out and squeeze my eyes even tighter as I brace myself for impact.
A loud whistle cuts through the air followed by a loud yelp. I open my eyes to see that the gaint demon bear is laying on the ground with blood pooling out of its chest.
I see Damian standing in front of it his right arm covered in blood. I undo my seat belt and slowly get out of the car.
” Damian?” I question in a low whisper.
He slowly turns around to face me. His eyes are bright red and slowly returning back to normal.
I walk over to him and stare at the giant demon bear that was struggling to breathe. It was grasping for air and blinking uncontrollably.
I know it was just trying to kill me but I can’t help but to feel sorry for it. It maybe a demon but it is also a wild animal.
” You should put it out of its misery. It is suffering in this condition.” I tell him.
Damian doesn’t says a word as he walks closer to the bear. He lifts his right hand up to the air before bring it down with such force and speed. That it makes a loud cracking sound as it cuts through the air.
I hear a loud snap and watch the bears head roll a few inches away from its body.
” Thank you….” I whisper to him.
I don’t even realize I am crying until I feel a few drops land on my hands.
I wipe the tears from my face and sniffle.
” It’s okay, you are safe now.” Damian tells me softly.
I take my eyes off the bears head and look at Damian. I jump a little not realizing how close he was to me. I didn’t even hear him move or walk over to me.
” Where were you!? I came out from peeing behind the brush and you were gone!?” I cry out as tears continue to flow.
” I thought I saw a child out here alone. So I went looking around. I guess it was just my imagination. When I sensed a demon near you I came right back.” He says pulling me into a hug.
He gently rubs my back as I sniffle into his chest. ” If you were a minute late. Me and our b-baby would be d-dead.” I cry out and hiccup.
” I know.” He says kissing my forehead. ” But you are safe now.” He tells me as he picks me up bridal style and carries me back to the car.
Once we reach the car he snaps his fingers causing the passenger side door to open on its own.
” Is that how you got my apartment door to open that night you came home with me and I forgot my purse at Kristin place?” I question him as he places me gently in the seat.
He let’s out a chuckle, ” Yes, it is how I got your apartment door open.” He tells me before shutting the passenger door.
I watch as he walks around the front of the car before getting into the driver seat. I watch as he starts the car on and turns the steering wheel to turns the car around.
” Are we not going to our date you had set up?” I question him as I wipe my tears stained face with my hands.
” Do you still want to go after what just happened?” He questioned with a raised brow.
I shake my head, ” No, I just want to spend time with you. I don’t care where we go.” I tell him honestly.
He nods, ” We can go home and watch Disney movies and I can order pizza.” He tells me.
” That actually sounds amazing.” I tell him with a smile on my face.
I think now would be a good time to tell him about my past.
” I was going to tell you at our date, but since we are heading home. I think I will tell you now, before we get home.” I tell him.
” Tell me what?” He questioned as he glances over at me for a few seconds.
” About my past.” I tell him.
” You don’t have too tell me.” He reassures me.
” I want too.” I says as I take his free hand into mine. ” I grew up in a small village that was ran by demons. Whatever they asked us to do. We did it without any questions or objections.” I say pausing to make sure he is listening.
He nods his head and I continue, ” They would also have us deliver them human sacrifices. So we would trick travelers or explorers to come with us. We would put drugs in their drinks to put them to sleep and dump them at an abandoned house that the clan owned. Sometimes if there was a group we would separate them by showing them the bathroom or waking them up in the middle of the night to show them something cool. Which actually wasn’t cool it would be one of the clans members waiting to eat them, or toy with them until the person died.” I explained to him.
” Willow I am aware of all those things other clan do. It is very well known throughout the demon world. So, what are you trying to tell me.” He says still staring at the road.
I let out a sigh and fiddle with the end of my dress. ” I was the clans favorite. I ran away when my parents signed me over to marry the head of the demon clan.” I tell him.
I see Damian tighten his hand on the steering wheel until his knuckles turn white. ” Which demon clan?” he questions me.
” I don’t see how it would matter.” I tell him.
” It does matter Willow. They could try taking you from me.” He says raising his voice a little.
” I ran away from them. They don’t know where I am. Besides I am with you and we are having a baby.”
I am starting to think telling him was a bad idea.
” Willow what clan is it!?” He snaps at me as he pulls the car over and faces me.
” Why don’t you tell me about the bimbo maid!” I snap back at him.
Crap! I wanted to ask about her but not like this. I just kinda blurted it out.
” The bimbo was a slut I was fucking, before I met you. The second I layed eyes on you. I dumbed her and haven’t seen her since. Now tell me which clan it is.” He says in a stern tone.
I didn’t expect him to actually tell me. I thought I would have to force the truth out of him.
” It Kyo clan.” I tell him.
Surely he knows who I am taking about. He is very well known throughout the west.
I watch as he turns back in his seat and pulls back onto the road.
” I will take care of it.” He tells me.
So, I guess he does know who I am talking about.
