CHAPTER 2
Baraka and I ran through the forest until we came to a stream, where the small water fall roared, where there was no sound, but the rumbling of the falling water. The forest seemed to surround the stream, no trees came to the edge of the water. As I stepped into the clearing, Baraka stayed behind the trees, watching me from afar. I glanced back at him again, signaling for him to keep his eyes on me, to watch me and see what I'm about to do.
I came to the edge of the water and I gently tested the temperature with my bare foot. It was cool, but not to cold. I unfastened the strap of my mask that hung around my waist and let it fall to the ground. I then slowly lowered my dress from my shoulders. It slid down my soft skin, tickling me. I turned my head around to see that Baraka's eyes were glued to my body; I could tell he was becoming more excited by the second.
I stepped into the water and as I walked further in the water came higher, until it reached my waist. I walked over to the waterfall, letting the water pour over my warm body, cooling me and cleansing my flesh from my earlier meal. With my back still to him, I looked at Baraka, who came out of the trees beyond and sat himself on a boulder, closer to me. Of coarse this time he had a reason to stare, as he always dose, now he's waiting for me to invite him to join me. I couldn't wait any longer, I needed him badly, I needed to feel him, to know that he's there beside me. I motioned for him to come in with me.
Baraka removed the armor plates from his chest, reviling his ripped muscles. He also took off his metal boots and belt, until he was in nothing, but his pants. He stepped into the water, looking as if he already had done what he wanted with me, as if he were a victorious warrior that just won a battle. 'No, no, no, its not going to be that easy.' I thought to my self, thinking of the ego trip he must on. As he came closer to me I backed away and I thought that maybe this was a bad idea, maybe leading on such a powerful demon wasn't the safest thing to do, but if he really cared for me he wouldn't hurt me, right?
"Having doubts?" He asked as if he read my mind. I thought about it a little more, and realized that, Yes, I do want this, I do want to be with him, I do want him as my defender, as the person by my side. Then I noticed that I was covering myself, my arms across my chest.
"Umm...no, I'm just a little afraid, that's all," I explained. It was true; I didn't know what this demon was capable of, in the sense that he could probably kill me with one swift strike.
"Don't worry, It'll only hurt for a minute," He growled.
"Uh? What will only hurt for a minute?" I asked and started to panic at the word 'hurt'. But he didn't answer me; he grabbed my arm and twisted me around so my back was pressed against his chest. All I could hear was a loud growl before the sharp pain of his teeth digging into my shoulder struck me like a ton of bricks. I screamed aloud, the horror echoing through the trees and sky, even birds were awoken by my shriek of terror and they flew off through the night. My mind went black, the world around me went black and all I can remember was the pain and falling into his arms.
