My face was in the grass again and someone was pressing me down, and then the words I heard earlier were said into my ear. “Maybe you’ll do better in a bed, hellhound.” But it wasn’t the same voice; this was someone else. Struggling, I tried to get him off but with no luck; unlike before, my move to the side didn’t work. Then I felt a hand on the inside of my thigh. Holy crap! I was naked. How the hell did that happen?! The hand slowly moved upwards, and the guy whispered, “You’ll be my greatest treasure yet.” At that I went into insane valley. I transformed and pushed out my wings, pushing him off my back.
I jumped up to look at the guy and the moment his face came into view, I turned and started running. Oh my freaking soul! It was the demon again, the same freaking one! I ran as fast as I could, but he shifted in front of me and grabbed me, taking me down to the ground. My wings were trapped beneath my body; I wasn’t going anywhere. “So many surprises. Maybe you will be worth it,” he said, and leaned down to kiss me. Frightened to death about what was about to happen, I struggled and screamed.
