A Demon's Love: Chapter One
Dark woke up. He sat up in bed and looked around the room. Something wasn't right.
WHERE THE HELL WAS HIS SLAVE!
Dark had a personal slave, like all royalty and nobles did; his slave was to be with him at all times and did nothing unless he was ordered to.
So where the hell had his slave gone!
Dark called for the guards to look for…um…whatever the hell the human's name had been.
Dark didn't bother learning people's names, especially a human's name. Princes, like himself, wouldn't degrade themselves by talking to a human as though it were an equal.
Humans were trash and that was all there was to it.
"Dark-sama"
"What is it?" snapped Dark as he turned to face the guard.
"We found your slave"
"Well? Bring him to me!" God. I have idiots working for me.
"Unfortunately Dark-sama, he's dead"
"How'd that happen?"
"The slave was trying to escape and drowned in the lake"
"How unfortunate indeed" Now I have to waste my time looking for a new slave. Well, looks like this means I'll be heading to Azumano.
Dark hated leaving his castle. His kingdom was full of dirty peasants and human slaves. They meant nothing to Dark.
They were just people he could boss around when he was king. Humans. How Dark loathed those vile creatures.
They were of the lowest social class. They were slaves in a world ruled by demons. They served no other purpose.
Rank was everything in this society. If you were human, you were automatically a slave, but demons had ranks that varied from peasants to kings.
Dark was a very wealthy prince from Japan. Japan was one of the richest countries in the world.
Money was power. If you had money everyone obeyed and respected you.
The only reason Dark was leaving the castle was because he had to be the one to pick his new slave.
Dark was very picky when it came to who filled the position as his personal slave.
His personal slave would be with him at all times and he couldn't be seen with just any slave.
People judge you by what you own. What would people think of him if he was seen with a slave that looked diseased or one that looked deranged?
No. Dark must always have the best, that's why he decided to go to Azumano, the best place to find a slave.
It was very expensive at Azumano, but you got your money's worth.
The carriage Dark was riding in came to a stop as it reached its destination. Dark entered the huge building. There were humans everywhere.
Most were in cages and looked terrified. Some humans were captured, while others were born into slavery.
It didn't matter how you came to be a slave, though. Humans had no rights. You were only worth something if you were a demon, or so just about every demon believed.
Humans couldn't get jobs, demons didn't hire them. Your best bet for survival was to become a slave.
Dark gave the slaves a disgusted look. Most were filthy and diseased. IS THAT LICE? EWW!
Some of them looked half dead and they could definitely use a shower. Dirt and who knows what else clung to the skin of the humans.
Dark wanted to leave, but he remembered what he was here for. He would just get a slave and leave as soon as possible.
Dark was approached by the slave trader, Krad. That guy freaked him out, he was really scary. Dark, though, would never admit it out loud.
"How may I help you Dark-sama?" asked Krad.
"I need a new personal slave and make it fast," said Dark. He hated wasting time and he didn't want to spend another minute inside the disease filled building.
"Very well Dark-sama you may choose any slave you wish," said Krad.
Dark had another look around. None of the humans seemed fit to be his personal slave.
Dark skin crawled at the thought of being toughed by one of the humans. He'd probably have to be disinfected after this.
Dark noticed a boy. The boy was isolated from the others in a cage that seemed to have a magical barrier over it.
Dark looked into the boy's eyes. They were the most beautiful eyes Dark had ever seen.
He felt himself getting lost in those big, red, innocent eyes. He could look into those eyes forever.
That's when it started. That's when Dark met the person that would steal his heart.
"Who's this?" Dark asked Krad, his eyes never leaving the boy's.
"Him? We found him in the ruins. He hasn't said a word since he got here. He tried to run away many times so we put magic around his cage."
The ruins used to be a sacred place. Now, only the cruelest and most dangerous demons dwelled there. Most were criminals on the run.
It was definitely not the kind of place a human would want to hang around in. They would be torn apart in an instant.
The demons there hated humans and most were…well…eaten. Personally, Dark would never eat a human. Only scum like those criminals would do something like that.
Eating a human was too close to cannibalism and was not tolerated in Dark's society.
Why would this boy go there? Did he have some sort of death wish? Did he belong to a demon that lived there?
He couldn't belong to a demon, so he must be plain nuts.
Dark became more curious about the boy by the minute. He wanted that boy and he would be his.
"I'll take him," said Dark.
"Of course"
Dark smirked. This boy was now his.
