Chapter 35

Rin's POV

Location: a hill outside Magnolia


Something was watching us from the shadows or more like someone. I had a feeling. A strange feeling that I had felt once before.

"Gray," I whispered looking at him. He looked back at me with a question in his eyes. "I think I know what it is," I whispered.

"Then what is it?" he whispered.

"It's demons," I whispered back. Fear was running down my spine as I told him. Like the words were spreading the fear. I felt overpowered. Completely. I knew back at home I was skilled. One of the best exorcists in the class when it came to fighting but here it was a different story. I knew for a fact that wizards like Natsu and Erza were overpowering me and I wasn't much stronger than Aya and aside from that I still had much to learn about this world's rules of magic.

"This is bad," Gray whispered. "What do you think they want?"

"Since I'm a demon. And in the demons' eyes you could say I'm of royalty. I would guess they want me," I explained still whispering.

"What will you do then to get out of this?" Gray kept on asking questions. I was kinda glad he did cause for the first time I felt like I'd come up with a good plan.

"The same as we did with Juvia," I whispered.

"Okay good idea" Gray said. Guess he had nothing better than me and that idea had worked once before so maybe it would work again?

Now the demons came out of the shadows. There were four of them and they were looking scary. I felt sick and something told me to run but I didn't. I'm more of the fighting type so why would I run?

"Which one of you is the son of Satan?" the biggest and ugliest demon asked. He was obviously the leader of this group.

"I am," I said looking into his eyes.

"No I am!" Gray said doing the same thing.

"Boss who should we believe?" one of the others said.

"I don't know. Who of you are lying?" the leader asked.

"He is!" Gray yelled pointing at me.

"No, of course I am not lying! He is!" I said.

"Whom should we take?" another demon asked.

The leader sighed. "We'll just take both. Then we will let the lord decide who is lying and who is telling the truth."

"Rin!" I heard a voice yell. "Gray!" it was the voice of a woman. I couldn't recognize it at first. "Get away from them!" it was Erza, now I realized it. "They are dangerous!"

I felt something wrap itself around my angle and suddenly everything was turned around. I was hanging in my angle with my head towards the ground. I looked to my side to see Gray hanging in the exact same way.

"No Rin!" Yukio yelled. I saw him, Erza, Natsu, Aya and Aki running up towards us but it was too late. Gray and I were pulled into a bobble of jelly and lost consciousness instantly.
