"So miss hart, what are you doing in these parts" the taxi driver said as he looked at her through his mirror.
The young woman in the back had her hair held back with a black scarf; her bright brown eyes looked at the scenery with childlike curiosity.
"Well sir, believe it or not, many years ago, I used to live here with my mother, so I thought I would move back here" she replied him.
"Wait, you're not visiting" he said with a worried face.
"Umm...no, I'm moving back" she said "is every alright"
"Miss, I know that this might sound strange, but our town have been under attack of recent"
"Really, why hasn't the authorities done anything" she asked
"Because they are demons"
"Demons?" she asked as they reached her destination, she looked at her old home, and it looked just as charming as before.
"Yes, demons, some say that they are taller than any man and just one of them can wipe out our little town, the only reason why, is because we haven't entered their territory. My dear take my advice" he said as he took her stuff out of the car and into the house "find somewhere else to live, before they come for you" he said as he drove off, leaving her in yard.
"Demons, really?" she giggled as she walked back into her house, unaware that she was being watched.
Meanwhile
A red furred man was running through the forest, he finally reached a cave, which was guarded by two other furred men.
"Hey guys" he said as he approached them.
"What is it goku" one of them said to him.
"I need to talk to...him" he said pointing into the cave.
"What for" they whispered "he's in a bad mood"
"When is he not in a bad mood" goku said with a roll of his eyes "but I think what I have to say might make thing everything better"
"Good luck" they said as they let him into the cave.
"Hey brolly, I have some news for you" he said a little loudly, which rewarded him with a roar.
"What do you want fool" he heard from the darkness.
"Well, I have some news that I think you will be interested in" he said "someone just moved into the house"
"What house" he asked
"The house that you asked us to watch"
"What!?" he roared, his red eyes glowed in anger.
"Hey its ok, we can just scare them out like we always do" he said shying away from his angrier and much larger counterpart.
"I'm sick of those human, how dare they move into my territory" he said
"guess we have to get them out don't we" goku asked with his reply being an approving growl "I'll tell the boys" goku said as he was about to leave the cave, but he was stopped.
"No... This time it just you and I" brolly said as goku left his cave.
Mirabella was placing her clothes into the drawers, after spending the day getting the house in order, she was now in her pjs which was a pink t-shirt and white bottoms, with her long curly hair flowing everywhere.
She placed her basket in front of her mirror, causing her to notice the necklace around her neck, after she left with her mother; she promised to never take it off, till they saw each other again.
"Oh brolly" she said with a sad sigh, after the day she left, she never found anyone who she could trust as must as she trusted him, and even thought she would never admit it, she had a crush on the boy ans still did.
"I do miss him dearly" she said to herself as she continued to fold her clothes "I would like to see him again" she thought as she continued her chores, once she was done, she turned out the light and went to sleep, unaware that she was being watched by a pair of gold eyes.
Goku jumped from the window and ran to a clearing that was not fair from the house.
"Hey boss, she asleep" he said as he walked to his superior who was leaning on a tree. Brolly opened his red eyes to look down at him as he walked past.
"you make it sound like I care" he said as he walks towards the house "this time, no survivors ... I have had it with these fools, maybe this time they will take a hint when I write a message in blood"
"Although sir, if you don't mind I have an idea" goku said as he leapt in front of him.
"This better be good" brolly growled, his patience was wearing thin.
"Why don't I go into the house and scare her out" he said to him "at lease that way, you can get a thrill from chasing your prey" he said to him.
"you have a minute, to get her out here or else" brolly said as goku ran off, he watched as he walked to the kitchen window that was located on the side on of the house, with a little tug, the window flew open and he jumped into the house.
"how long is this going to take" he said in perfect English as he looked at the house, his deep inhuman voice was the only remained that he was not human, before he could say anything else, a terrified scream filled the air as he looked the house with a smirk.
"Looks like his plan worked"
Mirabella ran out of the house and into the forest, only wearing her pjs, she knew that she had has her share of scares, but never did she think that in her first night in her new home, that she would encounter a demon.
"Why didn't I listen to that man" she cried as she looked behind her, to see that she was still being followed by the golden eyed menace.
She soon found that she was trapped as there was a huge tree in her way, and she knew that before she could climb over, he would have caught her.
She turned and faced him, her eyes widening as she looked at him, he was very tall, at least 6'5 and very muscular, but that was the least of her problems, he had a wild black mane that framed his face, glowing eyes that looked down at her, he was covered in red fur except for his chest, neck and hands, his tail swished behind him as he came closer with a smirk as he looked over her, but his air of confidence soon changed into one of surprise as he saw her necklace. He looked at her and then at the necklace, but before he could take a closer look. Brolly came roaring through the trees, pushing over a tree that was in his way, as he looked down at both of them.
"What took you so long" he said or more likely roared to goku, who has knelling by the now unconscious Mirabella.
"Sir Look at this" he said as he turned her over and pulled down her robe to reveal the necklace.
Brolly stopped and looked over the woman, their was no mistaken it, the curly hair, her scent, her beautiful face...he couldn't believe it but... she came back.
"goku, go back home and make sure that my cave is made" he said to him, goku simply nodded as he leapt off into the forest, once he was sure that he was gone, the mask fell as he knelt beside her and gently stroked her cheek.
"finally, you've returned to me" he said as he picked her up and began to walk back to his home "and this time... you will not escape me ever again, Mirabella" he rumbled as he held her close to his heart.
Mirabella woke up to deep voices coming from the end of the room, she knew she wasn't home when the memories of the previous night came back to her, causing her to curl up to the cave wall or at least trying to when she tripped and hit her head on the cold hard wall causing her to cry out in pain.
She quickly prayed that no one heard her but she knew that was a fail when she physical felt the floor shake as something or more likely someone stood in front of her, she couldn't see who it was due to her position, but didn't stop her from flinching when she felt it touch her.
"are you injured" she heard the deep voice growled at her only confirming her fear when she felt him touching her neck with his massive hand even though she was scared witless, she was surprised at him gentle he was being, but was more surprised as she felt the sharp pain being replaced with a warm feeling, so feeling brave at that moment, she looked up at him and gasped at the sight of him, in both fear and awe.
Even though he was kneeling in front of her, he was huge in both height and stature, he had to be at least 10ft tall, and was very muscular, he had very long spiky black hair that in his current state, reached the floor and also fell around his face , on his arms where two golden wrist braces which lead to his shirtless upper body, but he didn't need anything there because he was covered in dark read fur, but he did wear white and red baggy pants but wore no shoes, but what got her attention where his eyes, they seemed to glow which only made his red reptilian looking eyes stand out even more, giving him an ominous look, noting to mention the look he was giving her as he gently combed her hair though his fingers.
"why so speechless?" he asked her with an amused smile.
"e…excuse m…me?" she whispered as he continued to look over her as she shivered from the cold, suddenly the giant demon picked her up causing her to squeal as she trashed around in his arms.
"calm down mira, I'm just warming you up considering the fact that you barely have anything on" he said to her as he walked deeper into his cave, but then she stopped as she slowly looked up at him.
"h…how do y…you kn…know my n…name!" she cried causing him to stop as he looked down at her.
"you mean you don't recognise me" he said to her as his eyes narrowed at her causing her to recoil as he placed her on the ground allowing her to see him at his true height "even though you promised me that once we we're older, you would be my mate" he growled.
Her eyes widened as she remembered that night, she thought as she touched her necklace and slowly looked up at him in disbelief.
"brolly?" she whispered as he smiled at her.
"I thought I would never see you again, I thought you were going to break your promise to me and leave forever, but you proved to me what a wonderful and loyal person you are" he said as he knelt in front of her and gently stroked her cheek "you have no idea how much vie missed you…. Mirabella" he said as a stray tear fell from her eyes as she hugged him tightly.
"I…I missed you too" she replied.
2 years later...
"thank you" mira said as she left the store with her groceries and hopped into her waiting ride as they drove to her home, a short drive later and she was back home. She took her bags and thanked the driver as he quickly drove off, she unlocked the door and went inside where the bags were quickly taken from her.
"you know, brolly does like you going out alone" goku teased as he helped her, within a short time she and the smaller demon and become close friends.
"well unlike you guys, I have to buy my food and other things" she laughed as she began to put them away.
"still I think he does want you to far from home, especially now" he said to her as she worked.
"I know…I know" she said as she finished sorting out her groceries and turned to him as he escorted her out of the house.
"so when are you going to tell him" he asked her as she sighed.
"I was thinking tonight" she said as they got closer to their home.
"hey mira, thanks" goku said to her.
"for what?"
"for making him happy again" he replied with a smile as she smiled back.
"well then I guess that goes for both of us because in my condition, I'm not going anywhere "she smiled.
