Note: There is minor swear words throughout the chapter and implications of sexual assault and violence.
BANG!!!!!!!!!!! BEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up confused as my barrier alarm goes off, echoing my room.
RUMBLEEEEE!!!!! CRASH!!!!!!!!!
The sounds go off again and I fall out of bed, rushing to the window. I could see my barrier shaking from the force of the attacks, I wave my hand to activate the many traps around the house as I run down stairs out the door and into the barn.
I had sent Star, the three goats, and chickens to the town so that they were out of the way. I climb up to the loft and opened the window; I had stored prepared spells and extra magic stones here as my vantage point.
I crouched down and waited for my attackers to show themselves. My barrier continues to hold for a few more minutes until it shatters like glass, the pieces disappearing before hitting the ground.
I could feel my heart pounding as I heard the demons laughter and jeering. The trees shook when they passed by from their demonic aura which contaminated the air around them. The first few demons appeared, small imps which cackled when they started small fires in the grass.
Soon minor and lesser demons follow suit, kicking the imps out of the way and bowing back towards the trees. My breath hitches suddenly as the one they are waiting for appears, the leaves falling black around it.
It was a higher demon. It was smaller then the demon I had fought a few years ago but it's strength was hundred times that. The stronger a demon is, the more human it looks.
Long curved horns protruded out of the temples of its rugged face, it's hair carefully braided down his back with bat-like wings on either side. Black tattoo's stood out against his pale skin which didn't compare to Quinn's.
'SH*T!!!' I shouted in my mind, starting to panic. 'SH*T! SH*T!'
A witches true strength came from how long they have lived. A 100 year old witch is a lot stronger then a 50 year old witch. So, although I am a 157 year old witch- I wouldn't be able to make even a small scratch on a higher demon.
'No wonder the evil witch in the novel freaking died.' I say to myself, trying to control my urge to run. 'She couldn't do anything against a demon like that!'
But I did have an advantage: I knew that they were coming and was prepared.
I could see the demons pointing at my house and were talking amongst themselves. The higher demon waved them forward, looking disinterested.
The demons creeped closer to the house and one reached the door until it was suddenly wrapped up in special vines with it's thorns coated in sage and thyme causing the demons to scream in pain, steam coming from the wounds.
The higher demon started to look amused to which I sent pure light balls at them, making sure to make it appear they were surrounded. The demons randomly attacked but the higher demon does nothing; making me nervous. It appears that he didn't feel the need to attack.
I was able to purify five of the 11 demons until the higher demon makes eye contact with me. I flinch back and turn to escape when he was suddenly behind me.
So this was where you were, little Witch. He looks me up and down with a leering look. It's rude to randomly attack guests.
"Since when were you guests?" I growled as I waved my hand, a long whip of light coming from my wand and slashes across his chest causing steam to up into the roof of the barn. I attempt to dart around him, but he wraps a hand around my waist and raises me off the ground.
I struggle for a moment until my back connects to the wood floor of the loft and I free fall onto the ground with a thump. I lay there for a second, the wind knocked out of me before I roll out of the way from the attack he sent towards me. I lash out again as I run towards the back door, crashing through it and landing on top of a minor demon to which I stab with a light dagger.
The resulting steam covers my escape as I use the trees as cover and concealment to my next point. I gasp a little as I notice a piece of wood sticking out of my leg and carefully pulled it out. IÂ waved my wand around it to seal it from bleeding more and prepared to attack once more.
I didn't want to have to worry about fighting the higher demon and the minor, lesser demons along with the imps. I could see that the higher demon was still in the barn and the other demons had entered it so I sent off a small bit of magic to the unused magic stones, stimulating it to explode.
The barn erupts into white flames which reached up into the sky, screams of the last few demons echoed in the clearing. The flames slowly cooled to red and orange and the screams faded, but I did not relax- I knew that wouldn't of done anything to the higher demon.
My fear turned out to be true as the higher demon stepped out of the barn, dusting himself off.
'F**k' I raged internally at the sight.
~Little Witch~ The higher demon looks around. ~Come out, come out wherever you are~~~
I ignored him as I started to chant a difficult purifying spell.
It took us a long time to find you little Witch. The demon says leisurely. My master wants to speak to you.
I could feel him coming closer, but I couldn't stop now. Magic gathered around me, sending rays of light around the trees, revealing my location to the higher demon.
~~Found you~~~ He says, trying to approach me. You-
My chant finished, I pointed it straight at his heart and all the rays attacked him. I threw up a shield from the sheer force of the attack as light filled the clearing.
The light fades and I had to wait for my eyes to adjust back to darkness before looking around to see a large crater where the demon had stood. Tension started to disappear and my knees buckled, I started to fall back but was caught.
You missed. My hair stands on end at the low sultry voice that tickled my ear. Too bad.
IÂ immediately try to pull myself away but I couldn't break his grip. "Let go of me!"Â I kicked back with no effect.
I don't think so. The demon chuckles at my struggle. You pack a surprising wallop. No wonder Master told me to be careful, I wasn't expecting that last one- you did manage to hit me, but not deep enough.
I continued to struggle as he starts to tie my hands together, throwing my wand off to the side.
But now that I can see you, your quite the looker.... He licks my neck suggestively. Master didn't say what kind of a state you needed to be. Plus, I think you need some discipline for being a bad little Witch.
However. He throws me down and pins me to the ground. I better make sure your compliant.
The demon bites his thumb then rips my dress to draw a sigil on my skin, using his knees to stop me from moving too much. I could feel dark magic being burned into my skin as I buckled from the pain, biting my lips to keep from crying out.
He pauses, a heated look in his eyes before crushing his lips against mine, forcing his forked tongue into my mouth. I tried to push him away with no effect so I bit his lip: hard, he pulls back abruptly and smirks at me as black blood flowed down his chin.
Fiery he starts touching me, rubbing at my exposed chest then leaning down to start licking me.
"Don't touch me!" I growled as I started to feel strange; then it dawned on me, he had used a forbidden sigil which causes the affected to feel extremely aroused until they receive relief from sex. It was pretty much like a roofie but way stronger cause if that person doesn't have sex until it's out of their system: they would die extremely painfully from their insides being boiled.
"You son of a b***h!!" I shuttered as his hands went lower. "Get off me!"
You sure? He glances up at me. It looks like your starting to enjoy it.
"You f**king id**t." I cussed at him "My body is- reActing to stimulus.... It does-n't mean that I like IT!" The demon kept touching me and started biting & sucking on my thighs.
How cruel. He pulls my leg over his shoulder. Here I thought you liked me.
"Like h*ll!!" I spit at him with no luck, but I managed to pull back one of my legs and kicked him hard in the face.
You B***h! He recoiled, temporarily releasing me which gave me time roll away in the direction of my wand.
I caught it and hid it behind my back as he pulled me back.
You almost ruined my face!! The demon smacks me hard and I felt my neck pop as my cheek stung and a blood started to flow from the cut caused by his long nails.
"It looks much better now A**hole." I laughed, spitting out some blood since I had bitten my tongue accidentally from the blow.
I'm going to teach you a lesson that you will never forget! He says savagely before suddenly freezing.
I took that opportunity and pulled out my wand, holding the point right against his chest.
"I think it's you, who's gonna have a lesson." I smirked. When I had done the earlier purifying spell, I had stored part of it inside the gem of my wand cause I knew that the recoil from the high level spell was going to hit me harder then Trunk-kun hit me.
The demon looks down at me in surprise as I released the last of the spell directly into his heart: completely purifying him.
Because I was so close to the blast, I ended up getting a large cut on the left side of my stomach which burned with residual magic.
I groaned in pain, unable to think at all. The ringing finally faded and now I could heard someone shouting my name. I glanced over towards the sounds and saw a familiar form dashing towards me.
"A-al-rric?" I asked, trying to sit up and resist the urge to puke. "Y-your here? Wh-yy?"
Alaric takes me into his arms, his face paler then a sheet of paper. He says something to me, but my brain was too muddled from the blast and the forbidden sigil.
"I'm okay." I murmur as my sight went dark. "J-just nee-d to rest......"
I passed out, the last thing I remembered was the warmth from his hands and words of concern that tried to reach me.
