It had been over a month since he first found the portal. He had intended on never thinking about it again, but it didn't seem to work. He found himself going on more and more of his hunts and he ended up at the portal. Even stranger was how he'd always go in and wait for the beautiful human girl to come out. He was obsessed with her. Her beauty had poisoned him and weakened his heart and will. He was so enamored by her that he figured out the time differences between the two worlds so he could walk about at night.

During one of his walks around the outside castle he saw her up on a balcony looking out over the castle wall. He was well hidden with the dark, as all vampires were. If she were to see him, he'd only seem a dark shadow. For a long time he looked up at her until she had gone back inside.

He didn't want her to go so soon. It wasn't enough. He had to look at her beauty longer. Skillfully he walked over to the castle wall and was walking on it sideways. It was as if the castle had become the ground. He didn't need to use his hands at all. He was almost spider-like. When he got to the balcony he'd seen her on he pushed himself rightside up.

There inside the room was the girl. She was staring into a looking glass running a strange device through her long blonde hair, which now fell free compared to being held up in the contraption attached to her tiara. Her motions were gracefull and hypnotic. Like a poem with her body.

Much to his disappointment she stopped this task and walked over to her bed and sat on it.

"Why must I be the princess?" she said to herself in a voice so soft and angelic that it stirred Jerith's insides. "I hate this place. I wish I could live somewhere else away from this horrid castle."

A wish... he could do this for her. He could take her away. He could easily fulfill this desire of hers and she will fall for him as he fell for her! This was his chance!

Boldly, he stepped into the room, causing a shrill scream from the princess. It pained his ears to hear something so loud, but he didn't leave.

"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?"

"I am the one who will make your wish come true," he said.

"What?"

"I can take you away from this castle. Come with me. You'll never be found and you'll never have to come back. By the time anyone realizes your gone, you'll be in another dimention of time."

The princess was afraid. What was this man saying? What was he at all? He didn't look human... he looked... like a... but it couldn't be possible, those creatures are just myths. She didn't know what he was going to do with her and she was scared.

"I said come with me."

"Will I be hurt?"

"Hurt? Ofcourse not. I promise. You'll just be free of this castle."

She was silent. Jerith couldn't handle how long she was taking to respond to his offer. He walked forward.

"I know you want it. And you will have it one way or another."

He picked her up and walked down the castle wall with her.

"PUT ME DOWN! HELP!"

"No use shouting, they'll never find you. Isn't that what you want?"

"HELP!"

He walked across the castle yard and through the portal into Demonic Earth. He set the Princess down. Somehow her tiara had ended up on her once again. She looked around and trembled.

/Where am I? What is this place? I'm so scared.../
