Kiora's POV:

The raven-haired demon made the first move, he disappeared from his spot, immediately I sensed him behind me and swung my right leg around aiming for his head, he merely raised his left arm and blocked it with his forearm. I jumped back just out of his reach growling slightly, I could feel the power seeping out of him the closer I was. I was stronger than most but I doubted I was stronger than him, I didn't need to defeat him I just needed to escape him. He lunged at me I quickly dodged his attack but not quick enough for he got a hold of the sleeve of my dress, he swung me around but the fabric tore keeping me once more from his grasp. My nails extended and we clashed once more at hand to hand combat, dodging and swinging on one another, I had yet to land a punch on him that wasn't deflected, nor he to I but I had the feeling he was toying with me instead. This was my only chance to escape before I was cornered again, I had to find an opening, I dodged another attack but cut it too close again, he had scratched my cheek, not deeply but enough to draw blood, I watched him bring his hand to his mouth as he licked my blood from his fingers his eyes flashed magenta, "Exquisite." He smiled at me once more his fangs showing slightly this time.

I ran at him acting like I was going to attack his abdomen with my claw like nails but at the last moment launched myself over his head and flipped landing right behind him, I summoned all my strength and kicked him in the back launching him 5 ft forward, usually it was much farther but he's not like every other demon I've met. I took my chance and ran for it, I had a head start this way and I just might be able to lose him unlike earlier, my life depended on it. I jumped from the bank of the river onto the opposite street, I began running down an alley behind storefronts trying once more to disappear into the vast darkness of London. I turned down another alley and crossed a street that lead deeper into London, I could feel the darkness reaching out to me. I didn't sense the demon behind anymore so I slow down a notch about to disappear fully into the darkness and for good, I was going to let it carry me out of this city and away from this demon but the darkness wavered. It suddenly became even darker if possible, like being blind, the pitch black did not reach out to me in its familiar way and I could barely see past my arm's length. I thought the darkness was beginning to swarm around me but it was soft and I could feel it brushing against my face and hands. I reached out and grabbed whatever was floating in the darkness, weary from my encounter with the demon, I hadn't sense him just yet which wasn't too much of a surprise since females are usually lither and faster. I was hoping I had outran him, but this was not right I opened my hand and a single black feather lay in it. A raven's feather.

I froze. No..no this cannot be happening, I felt his presence now, all around me, there was no escape now. I felt one arm encircle my waist and the other wrap around my neck firmly but not with all his strength, he pulled my body against him to were my back lay against his front, my body was completely frozen in submission. I was right when I said he was powerful, I just never imagined he was one of the most powerful demons in existence, even my father had warned my young self so many years ago against the likes of demons of his rank. I tried to struggle in his grasp but my body wasn't responding, his aura was engulfing the both of us, he bent his head near my neck sniffing the area his head hovering mere centimeters from it, every fiber of my being flared in terror at what the Raven demon was about to do. He chuckled at my reaction even though my body had barely moved in his grip, his voice vibrating through my entire body.

"Don't worry kitten we will have more than enough time together but unfortunately I am here on orders," His smooth voice made by body shiver, he sighed into my neck at the disruption his contract was causing. I still didn't relax, I was in the worst position possible, I was in the hands of a male demon something I swore would not happen to me. His hand around my neck shifted, here was my chance to move away from him, but before I could comprehend what he was doing his hand jabbed deep into the area he had just been inspecting, the pressure point at the nape of neck. All my sense left me as I lost consciousness, falling into the demons arms.
