The night is cold and the rain pours down hard through the hole at the top of the cave. The water runs down the center of the cave and down the mountain side.
The loud high pitch yell rings out, resonating in the cave. The demons turn to glare at Princess Sofia Rose’s tear stricken face as she yells in her sleep.
The tall evil demon, Getty, walks over to her and grabs her long dark hair. He wraps his fingers through her hair.
“Stop your yelling! You fucking need to stop the damn piercing shrieks before you damage my ear drums. I’m not used to noise!”
Sofia Rose opens her violet eyes wide, closes her mouth, and then hiccups.
Getty pulls her up from her hair, grinning, leaning in close to her face. He slides his rough green tongue out and licks her face.
Sofia Rose blinks several times to clear her eyes. She raises her chin up high, refusing to back down, grimacing.
“I demand that you release me!”
Getty throws back his head; his mouth opens wide, exposing the double row of yellow jagged teeth. His chest rumbles loudly and his stomach shakes. The loud rough sound escapes his mouth. He lets go of her and she falls back onto the ground.
Sofia Rose scoots back as far as possible. Her huge violet eyes glance quickly at the other two demons.
Din teleports over to her and grabs her face with his rough dirty hands. He leans in close and inhales her sweet violet scent, convulsing, throwing back his head. His red eyes roll in his eye sockets as he groans.
“No!”
Sofia Rose yells, wide-eyed, shaking her head.
“Fairy, you’re not going anywhere but into my master’s chamber. Be still, because I’m going to drink some of your sweet blood,” hisses Din.
Din quickly grabs her arm with his left hand. He runs his right hand down her soft skin, stopping at her wrist. He quickly runs his long talons across her wrist and slices her vein open.
“No!” yells Sofia Rose, trying to pull her arm from his grasp.
The sweet violet scent permeates the cave and the demons start to hiss. The dark red violet blood pours out and the demon leans down to slurp her blood into his mouth.
“Din, I want some,” says Thai, licking his lips with his long grainy green tongue.
“Fuck, she smells delicious! It’s my turn,” yells Getty. He shoves Din away from Sofia Rose.
Getty takes long drinks, closing his red swirling eyes.
Sofia Rose closes her eyes, losing consciousness and all color drains from her complexion. Her heartbeat slows to a dangerous rate. The demons drink her blood, stopping only to save her from expiring.
Niko walks down the side of the Blue Ridge mountainside. He’s dressed completely in black, in his Royal Assassin gear, and absolutely in Ruin mode and on a mission.
Ruin’s senses are extra sensitive as he searches for Sofia Rose. Then he suddenly stops walking, throwing back his head and squaring his wide shoulders. The hair on the back of his neck stand as Sofia Rose’s soul merges into his. He shudders as his soul roars and his heart pounds erratically in his chest. His body shakes uncontrollably, and he clenches his jaw, closing his eyes.
“Fuck! I feel my mate.”
Niko squints his light mint eyes to focus, his eyes roam over the terrain, and focuses deep into the dense trees.
The huge October moon rays shine down through the dense forest. He nods, and places his hands on his hips.
“Damn it! I can’t see her aura.”
The clouds float over the moon, and the night transforms the mountain range into a dark sinister zone.
“Blessed deity, give me the force to locate my mate. Protect her from the soulless ruthless creatures that thrive on my mate’s pure blood.”
