The Demon's Trap

There he lay, still and motionless. Shirtless he lay in the middle of the meadow located deep in the forest. He glistened from head to toe as the light shun on him through the trees.

Maria thought she was alone when she was exploring the nearby forest that is however until she seen him. She was in awe of his beauty. He was as her friends would say 'drop dead gorgeous'.

He had jet black hair and his skin was so pale like a marble statue. He opened his eyes. She gasped they were silver which both frightened and excited her.

As he opened his eyes he smiled. His teeth so white they were almost blinding. They sparkled like a disco ball.

He sensed her presence. She was in his trap now. He knew that there was no way she could possibly escape him now, no way she could resist him. She was as good as his now.

"Come," he instructed. His voice was like and orchestra, like an angle so soft so mesmerising.

Something inside of her told Maria to run but she couldn't, she felt that if she tried she may be unable to breath like she needed him and he owned the air she breathed. So she did as she was told and came towards him. She was in a trance now, under his command.

"Hello my child. What are you doing here?" he whispered into her ear. She didn't answer. "Well what have you been doing here?" he said in a slightly harsher voice. "I… I was just walking through the forest when you called me," she replied worriedly. "Lies," he said softly. "What were you really doing here?"

"I was watching you," she said mechanically in a voice that wasn't the sound of her own. "Did you know that it is considered rude to watch people. You've been a very bad little girl now haven't you?" he said and with that he held her chin in his hand angling it in his direction as he leaned in to kiss her.

As he kissed her he sucked out her soul and in doing so taking the life out of her body. She instantly fell onto the soft floor of the meadow. The daisies and other wild flowers quickly grew around her motionless body and the ground slowly opened up as they dragged her to hell.

He stood there and laughed at her menacingly. Yes he enjoyed his work.
