The Runaway and The Demon Prince

To the Castel

    Tharen had managed to sneak out of his castle that exact same night since the three guards that were normally there weren't at their posts. He didn’t even think twice about how they weren’t there or where they were. He smiles widely and as the moon hits his fangs it causes them to shine as he smiles as he thinks to himself, too easy.  He walked through the woods for a little while enjoying the quietness before seeing a few blurry demons circling a smaller female demon. It made his blood boil, he hated rapists with a fiery passion. So seeing his own kind do such a thing, pushed him to the edge. He started to make his way over to them but stopped as he witnessed the girl toss one of his guards over her shoulder. She’s pretty strong. He thought to himself as he watched. His hands fisted at his sides and held back the urge to jump in and watch as she fought back. Tharen was always on guard, as he took a step closer watching he noticed how well he was doing and was wondering if he should step in or not he wasn't too sure. He was highly impressed with the young ladies' skills on top of that she was also extremely beautiful. Tharen had taken to leaning against the nearest tree and watched as the young lady finished off her fight with the guards

“ You did a wonderful job at taking care of those rascals.” Tharen said choosing this time to come out of the shadows and made his way over to the young lady. She looked to be human and around his age but knew better than to assume she was human based on her looks. 

“Thank you?” the Lady said. Tharen watched as she waved her hand around and as a thick coat of purplish smoke appeared to move around as if it was looking for something. Once the smoke had reached him it slowly started to climb up and over his body. He noticed that as soon as the smoke found him that she walked over to him and looked up at her. The moon reflecting off her purple bluish blind eyes. Tharen smiles as he watches everything she did. His own red eyes slowly started to glow. He was amazed by how she used her powers and he blinked when he saw her eyes were beautiful. 

“ You have very beautiful eyes.” He said with a slight smirk on his lips

“ That's a first. Normally demons don't blink twice at a blind one.” She said with a cockiness in her tone. As if she was teasing. She slowly waved her hand over his face which caused the smoke to move over his face. Tharen did flinch at this sudden movement and says softly

“ I'm not like most demons.” The smoke traces over every detail of his face from the scare on the left side of his face to the curves of his nose and lips. He watched as she moved her hand in a downward motion the smoke flowing down his body.

“ Indeed you aren't.” she says and her eyes flow the smoke as if the smoke was her eyes. “ You're pretty tall, hmm?” she asked, 

“ six-foot, yeah.” Tharen comments as he backs away from her giving them some distance. “ So what brings you out here all alone?” 

“ I guess you could say I'm running away.” She tells him. He watches as she turns and walks over to pick up her stuff which was just a small duffle bag. 

“ Running away from what exactly?” He asked as he watched her closely. Tharen knew the demon world wasn't all that and a cup of tea but he knew it had its perks. 

“ Ahh well you see that's a secret but let's just say I'm running away from my district of the demon realm due to the fact that the demons there don't take kindly to blind demons.” She says and he notices that she walks back over to him and watches as she lifts her hand up and uses her thumb to trace his lips. He let this happen for a few moments then pulled away and grabbed her wrist. Normally he didn't let just anyone touch him, especially a stranger. 

“ Is it something I could help you with?” He asked as he held on to her wrist.

She smirks and shakes her head. “Mm, I don't think you can.” what she said caused his pride to take over and caused him to say, “ you, don't know that.” She smirks as she pulls her wrist from his grip and steps back a few steps and says, “ Well you see this sort of thing isn't within this district, but I'm sure you're still gonna try and fix it anyways hm?” Tharen thought about this for a while. A new demon from a different district? Especially here in his own district, he’d have to report it. “It wouldn't be easy to,” he started out saying which caused the girl to look at him. Well more like turn her head in his direction in curiosity. "have you transferred to this district, did they banish you?” As soon as he asked his question she knew what it was about. “ Nope, are you gonna report my presence here?” he rubs the back of his neck and says “ I mean I should,” he said as he looks back to the palace, his kingdom. “ But, I think I can bypass it and get you to be a resident in this district, that's only if you want to.” Tharen's offer was very tempting to Emberlyn but she knew if she stayed for too long they’d find her and she didn't want to cause trouble for anyone else. After thinking about it for a minute she answers him and says “mm I don't see what harm can come from staying a while.” she says and Tharen smiles and nods. “ Well then we should do it formally, you'll have to meet my dad,” He said, stretching his hand at her as his eyes steadily glowed. “Let me help you to the castle.” Emberlyn looked at his hand and she had no idea he was the prince of this district tell now. She blushed softly as she took his hand and said “ Hopefully he won't chew me out alive.” Emberlyn said as she was holding Tharen's hand still relying on him to guide her to the castle. Tharen smirked softly as he said, “I think he might after he finds out what you did to his guards,” he had a teasing tone in his voice as he was talking to her and chuckled a little before continuing what he was saying. “Then again he might just chew them out instead.” he finishes off as he leads the way to the castle. She chuckled, then softly said, “ I guess we’ll just have to wait and see hm?” She asks blushing softly and severed softly from the slight cold since her jacket isn't thick enough. Sure hell was hot but it has seasons like earth does the heat is just not as hot as it is in the summer. Tharen nodded his head to her question and watched as they started to get closer to the castle he knew that the rest of this day was sure as hell gonna be an interesting one. He could wait to see what his father was going to react when he saw ember and the type of demon she was.
