Ok, fifth chapter... Thank you to all of my very kind reviewers!

Sorry for the very long wait.

Erutis tries to scream but her shout is muffled by the hand that's clamped over her mouth. She finally lands a kick on her assailant, kicking him in the knee, shattering his knee cap, and proceeding to bite the hand over her mouth as he leans over, grasping his knee in agony. A gruff, bearded Demon Lord comes out of the shadows and helps Erutis up from where she'd fallen when the kidnapper dropped her. He then holds her by both her wrists in one hand while with his other, he motions for more servants to come.

She kicks and bites them the whole time, but they manage to chain her to a chair, as the bearded Demon Lord asks, "Where's Lord Krayon?" "That's what I was trying to find out, you imbeciles!" Erutis yells at them, struggling to free herself. The Demon Lord steps forward and slaps the back of his hand across her face, leaving a red mark as he yells, "You DARE admonish me, you mere mortal?"

"YES I DO!" Erutis yells back stubbornly. "You're lucky I still need you, or you would have been dead long ago..." the Demon Lord says menacingly, his face so close to hers his spit hits her as he speaks.

"Thanks for your saliva, here's some of mine to repay you." Erutis says, spitting in his face. He sputters, his face turning a deep maroon in anger as he steps back, a fire ball appearing in his hand. He stops, his arm pulled back ready to throw it, and seems to regain his senses, waving a hand to the guards around the door. They open the door for him as he stomps out the door, she hears it close and bolt it behind him, the guards resuming their positions outside the room on either side of the door.

Okay, so I'm sorry for being so slow, but I'll try to type up the other chapters faster. I'm really excited to see all of your reactions to the ending, and I'll tell you now, you probably won't like the first ending, that's why there's an alternate ending.

Anyway, thanks for all the reviews, and I hope you enjoy Chapter Five.
