Ally's POV
I heard their screams from miles away . They were pleading , begging for mercy . Praying to some form of God to let them go , allow them to live . But no , they were quick . I heard the wet ripping sound of flesh as the sword slashed their necks . Their lungs still struggling to breath . One of the mercenaries laughed and stepped on their victims lungs . The fire crackled the marvel floors and wooden houses . The mercenaries were taking the silver and gold, too .
This was just miles away from me , in a village not so far . I had just been there recently , trying to warn the poor towns people that the demons in human skin were coming and they were going to kill them all . Only one of the village people believed me , Orio , I took him with me . The rest of them stayed , foolishly . I tried to feel sorry for the deceased but couldn't .
Orio was only little , a orphan . I covered his ears although I knew he couldn't hear the destruction . It helped me a little . "Come on , Orio," I said as I lead him away . "We are almost there." If that was a lie it was not a convincing one . I just prayed that Kouga was still alive and he would meet at the agreed meeting place or me and Orio would be truly dead .
After a couple of hours Orio gave up on walking and I put him on my back , he fell a sleep . My legs were developing great pains , but I could not afford to give in to a human weakness of rest . I had to continue my journey . The wood's had gotten darker and darker . The audible grunts of animals and demons was present and alive . I was apprehensive , not scared .I clutched the purifying dagger I stole off of Kagome . My foot steps were slow , cautious and careful . The purr of a demon ready to pounce or kill . Tightened my grip around Orio's legs . A twig snapped somewhere . I stiffened . That was the demon that was going to attack me . I felt it . Tried to loosen my back . The darkness was blinding . The moon was no where in sight . No illumination , no light - meant no guidance . I heard the slow corrosive sound of the demons feet cautiously lifting off the ground as it waited for the right moment . The sound echoed making it harder to distinguish where the demon was . I focused , failing each time . It's heart beat acceleration faster , the demon was getting more excited. I stayed still . Best not run . The demon liked this . His over foot lifted off the ground . He charged towards me . I knew where he was running from . I turned round reaching for my dagger . I was jumped . The demon was advancing faster and faster . I panicked , pulling and tugging the dagger . The demon was only seconds away ...
