Sorry for taking awhile to upload this story, but enjoy =)
"Do we HAVE to take this old lady?" One of them asked, seeming to not want Grand mama, which I could see why. She was 70 years old.
"Grand mama!" I inched my way closer to the men, as they turned to look at me, wondering who I was.
"Oi, can we take her?"
"She's not on our list though..." The man to the far right objected
"G-give Grand mama back!" I shouted angrily to them, Grand mama looked up at the sound of my voice.
"Melinda!" Grand mama struggled to get free, but couldn't, "Go! Run away Melinda!" I paused, why would Grand mama tell me to run away? She always said to be brave, and now she's telling me to run away? I was quite annoyed at this turn of events, and violently shook my head. "Melinda, just run!" She pleaded desperately, "PLEASE!" She paused right then, "These guys are demons!" When I heard this I was really tempted to run, but I knew that I couldn't just leave Grand mama here with them!
"No way Grand mamma!" I shouted, inching closer to her, then, one of the demons spoke up in this dark, husky voice,
"Oi, you." I turned quickly to look at him, wondering what he wanted, "If you want to, you can take this old Granny's place." He said, pausing dramatically for effect. "But you'll have to come with us." I nodded, knowing that even if Grand mama was totally against it, I have to protect her. She's too old to do it herself. The man who was holding onto Grand mama let her go, and she fell onto the floor, winching as she hit it. I rushed over to her,
"Sorry Grand mama." I said after helping her up, "But I'm going now." And with that I followed them out the door, not knowing why they were here, what they wanted, or who they were, but I knew if I didn't go, something horrible might happen to Grand mama. So I left, ignoring her yells at me about how I should have just run away and left her here. Is she stupid or what? No way would I leave her here! Sure her place may be boring at times, but I love her so much! I can't let her go!
"Move faster." One of the demons shoved me father in front of him, already very tired, I was nearly at my limit. But, I moved forward, not knowing what would happen to me if I disobeyed him. They had grunted out their names for me, Gabe, there leader, had black hair, blood red eyes, and was actually pretty cute, Azathoth, had black hair as well, but was covered in demolish Armor. And Zagan was a demon that seemed a bit younger than them, maybe around 15; anyway, he had light brown hair, and seemed to love ladies.
"Common' Azathoth, Let the girl rest a bit..." Zagan Smiled at me slightly, I was shocked, but I managed to smile a tiny smile in return.
"No." Azathoth turned back to look at Gabe, "Oi Gabe, we don't have time do we?"
"We can rest for a little bit." Gabe agreed with Zagan. Relieved, I slumped against a tree, still not wanting to talk at all; I was way too scared about what they were going to do to me.
"So~" Zagan strutted up to me, grinning from ear to ear, "What's your name Babe?" I looked away.
"Don't bother her to much Zagan," Gabe began, "Your ugly face is probably scaring her." Zagan stuck his tongue out at Gabe, who in turn raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes.
"I-I'm Melinda." I stuttered out carefully, "Call me Mel..."
"Ohh~" Zagan walked even closer to me, "What a preeety name~"
"T-thanks...I guess." I replied, not sure where this was going...
"Oi, Zagan, shut up, I'm trying to sleep here." Azathoth scolded crabbily as he glared at me. I quickly turned away, not knowing what he was planning. I realized that Grand mama wasn't the type to keep silent about stuff, so I am pretty sure she would have called the police and my mom by now. Hopefully they'll get to me before these demons do anything to me. Right as I was about to fall asleep, Gabe stood up and motioned for us to get going. I had a good idea; I quickly closed my eyes again, before anyone saw them open, and pretended that I was asleep. I could feel Azathoth's husky breath getting closer and closer to me, but then Zagan pulled him away swiftly, smiling at my non-sleeping form. He reached down and gently picked me up bridal style and started walking in the direction Gabe was.
I must have really fallen asleep, because I opened my eyes and saw Zagan's smiling face looking down at me.
"She's awake, Gabe." He called out to Gabe, placing me carefully onto the ground. Azathoth turned around and grunted when he saw I was awake. Gabe nodded in my direction and motioned for me to follow him.
I looked around, we were in a place that I'd never seen or heard of before, and believe me, I've done my fair share of exploring Grand mama's neighborhood and I haven't seen this part any ware, which means were very far from Grand mama's home. I looked over at Gabe; something about him seemed...Different than the other two. I realized it was no time for pretty chitter-chat; I had to get out of their grasp! I had to get home to Grand mama and mum! So I tried to think of a plan...Even If I manage to break free, how will I know where to go? I know! They must have a map some ware, as they wouldn't be venturing in the forest without one...Right? I walked a bit faster to catch up with Zagan, as I have witnessed his weakness for ladies. I flipped my hair back in order to claim his attention, and then when he blushed at me, I knew it was working well. I flipped my hair back again, and began my assault.
"Hey, Zagan," He nodded quickly for me to continue, "Are you sure we won't get lost in this huuuge forest~" I asked in the most seductive voice I could muster. He looked at me with lust in his eyes,
"Of course not Mel~~" He swooned, "We have the most reliable map there is!" He continued much to my delight, "It shows you the way all the way from that old granny's house to our mansion!"
"Really?" I asked, satisfied with the map, and surprised at the Mansion part. My eyes were gleaming as I started to ask for the map, "Hey, Zagan~" I began, "Can't I have-"
"What are you attempting to do girl?" I spun around quickly, Azathoth. I knew I should have spoken softer. He had heard me and Zagan talking, and he must know about his weakness, so he might be watching carefully. I sighed. Knowing that now nothing would work now. I quietly followed Gabe and Azathoth through the rest of the forest, and into a clearing. When I saw what was in the clearing, however, I gasped in shock! There, before my very own eyes, was an amazing castle like those ancient ones I saw in Greece! My mouth dropped open at the sight of it. Gabe looked at me and smirked, something told me that he enjoyed seeing my expression change so quickly. Seeing him smirk, I quickly regained my composure, and turned to face him, "What do you want with me?" I finally had the nerve to ask the question that had been bothering me ever since they took me. "Don't worry," He said, smirking, "We won't hurt you...At least not yet." He replied dramatically. I grunted as Azathoth pushed my forward, towards the front gate. I walked in as they demanded, and was pushed up some stairs, much to Zagan's speech of how they needed to "Treat me right" to which I was very happy that someone knew how to treat a women. I was shoved into a small, but peaceful room, to which I glanced at them with a quizzical look on my face, wasn't I their captive? Zagan came into the room and handed me a chocolate milkshake, "Here you go~" I took it in appreciation, "We need your help with something, we'll tell you tomorrow, for now please get some rest Mel~~" I nodded slightly, and managed a smile when I tasted the drink, it was very good indeed. I looked down at the floor as she shut the door with a "Later Babe~" I nodded towards his direction, and then collapsed onto the small bed, exhausted and scared. "Is she awake or not Zagan?" Azathoth asked impatiently, "Well, the thing is...well..." "Just tell me!" "Okay!" Zagan scratched his head and sighed, "She's gone."
