Chapter Three

Cedric fell to the ground, as he left the portal. He fell to the ground with a thud, with Bai Tza, now human, clinging to him. He had held Drago over his head, so not to hurt the child. Once they were through, the portal disappeared. He looked around to see that they were in a large, splendid bedroom. 'I know this building.' He thought. He tried to get up, but Bai Tza held him down. "Get off of me." He demanded.

"Not until you change me back." She said. Her voice was different from her demon voice. It was definitely human. Still, it held her old scorn.

Cedric closed his eyes. He hated doing things that were terrible, without honor. Yet, he had no choice. "I'm sorry. I just can't." He said, sincerely.

"Liar." She screamed.

Cedric pulled out a can from his pocket. He sprayed her in the face with it. She fell unconscious the next moment. "I'm sorry." He said silently. He got up, and gently picked her off the ground. He put her on the nearby bed. 'There. She'll be safe here.' He turned away from her. 'Besides, he does deal with her in the future. Well, in my world anyway.' He created another portal and walked through it.

(Soon afterwards)

Valmont went into his bedroom. He wanted to steal a few moments of peace and silence. It had been a long day, dealing with an important client. He was exhausted and wanted to be alone. He sighed. 'Sometimes, even employees can get on your nerves.' He thought. He turned on the lights. He was shocked at what he saw first. He saw that a beautiful, Asian woman was lying on his bed, unconscious. He walked over to her. 'Is she alright.' He thought. He put two fingers against her wrist. Her pulse was normal. She seemed healthy.

He took a step back, as his eyes roamed her body. She was indeed, quite beautiful. He shook his head. 'Get back to the essentials.' He thought. He pulled out his phone and dialed a few numbers. It had a screen on it to show the other person. It rang for a moment, before it turned on. A middle aged man appeared on the screen. "Yes, sir. What can I do for you?" He said.

"It seems that there is an unconscious woman in my bedroom." Valmont said.

"So it seems you had a little too much fun last night, did you?" The man smirked.

Valmont glared at him. "I did no such thing. She just appeared here. I want someone to bring her to the medical quarters. Now do it, or you will be out of a job." His voice rising in anger at the accussation.

The man gulped. "Yes, sir. I'll get right on it." The image stopped.

Valmont heard a faint groan. He looked over at the woman. He walked until he was right over her. He saw her eyes flutter open. "Are you okay?" He asked.

The woman stared at him for a moment, before springing out of the bed. She looked around the room and then at him. She just glared at him. "Where are you keeping me?" She said.

Valmont raised an eyebrow. "Keeping you?" He said. "I don't even know who you are. You just happened to be in my bedroom."

"Bedroom." The woman said. She looked at the bed, then squeaked and jumped back. She sent him another glare. She then stormed over to him and slapped him hard across the face. "How dare you."

Valmont put a hand to his cheek. He just stared at her dumbfounded, trying to comprehend what just happened. "Madam, I think you have misinterpreted the situation."

The woman just stared at him for a moment. She crossed her arms. "Well, enlighten me then. What am I doing in your bedroom?"

"I would ask you the same question." Valmont said.

"The last thing I remember is being dragged by some magician, as he took my nephew. He sprayed me with something, and all went black." She glared at him. "He probably left me for your pleasure."

Valmont tried to contemplate what he had just heard. 'Magic.' He thought. 'Well, I have seen quite a few things in my life. It is incredulous, but for some reason, I just can't help but to trust her.' He then shook himself. "I'm sorry, but you've got this all wrong. I don't know how or why you are here. I do assure you that I have no intention in that matter." She woman looked into his face for a moment, and then nodded.

Just then, the medical team started through the door. "Where's the patient?" One of them asked.

Valmont, not wanting to point out the obvious, just waved them away. "No need. She's fine, just a bit shaken." The team nodded. "Could you please escort miss…?" He turned his head towards her. "What it is your name?"

"Bai Tza." She said.

"That is an interesting name. My name's Valmont." He stuck his hand out to her. She looked at it then to him. "You're supposed to shake it." She took it in her hand and shook. He had to admit, she had a firm grip. She then, let go after shaking for a few seconds. He turned his attention back to the others. "Could you please escort Miss Bai Tza to a comfortable room?"

They nodded again. One of them took her arm. She yanked it away. "I can do fine by myself."

Valmont laughed. "I think she's right. Now take her to her room and make sure you adhere to her every wish."

Bai Tza smirked. The men lead her out of the room. Valmont watched as she left. 'She really is something.' He thought. He yawned and went over to his bed. He pulled back the sheets and slipped inside. 'I think I'll have a talk with that woman tomorrow. Ya, over a little dinner.' He thought. He smiled and closed his eyes, thinking and planning of his dinner tomorrow with Bai Tza.

(With Bai Tza)

Bai Tza followed the humans to her new room. One of them opened it up for her. She walked in. It was small and nowhere near as good as that other man's sighed. 'It will have to do.' She thought. She gave out a yawn. Her trip had exhausted her. At the thought of the trip, Drago popped into her mind. She growled. 'I hope that human dies a horrible death for what he has done.' She thought.

Bai Tza looked back at the humans behind her. She liked telling others what to do, but she was too tired for any of that right now. She waved them away. "You may go." They nodded and walked out, closing the door behind them.

She went into her bed, and covered herself with the blankets.

Bai Tza's mind wandered, thinking over what had happened that day. Her taking care of Drago, the man coming and taking him, she being trapped here, and that man, Valmont was his name. She thought him handsome, for a human anyway. He was definitely the one in charge here. She knew that he had no intention for her, she somehow trusted him. Maybe she should get to know him better. 'Well, why not?' She thought. 'There's nothing else to do.' She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read my stories. I know that maybe them starting to feel attracted to one another is a bit to soon (especially Valmont), but you'll see later. So, by for now. I hope to see some reviews. Or even some peeks at my other stories.
