The Demon King

CHAPTER 9

Rose's POV

I had woken up to the pain in my head. I think whatever Damien had given me was wearing off. I went to the bathroom to see that , my bandage now had a small spot of Blood.

Maybe , while sleeping I must have torn some stiches off. I didn't know what time it was , so I didn't bother going back to sleep. I did my business and showered. And changed into some high waisted jeans and a black crop top.

When I came out , I sat on my bed, thinking of a escape plan. I had to get out of here. But , first I need to know where my friends are. 

Damien said I will see them today. With them I will plan our escape. I am not going to stay here.

A few minutes past with me trying to come with something, when I heard a knock on the Door. I mutter a 'come in'.

A girl ,looking a little bit older than me came in. I saw she was wearing an outfit , usually which maids wear. But , instead of the natural black and white outfit she was wearing a blood red and black one. Weird.

"Good morning , mam. I am your personal maid, Martha.If you ever need any help then please press the button on the right side of your bed. Currently , the king has asked for you. " , she said to me.

I looked towards the right side of my bed and realized there was a red button over there on the wall.I turned towards her and gave her a small smile with a nod. I know she said 'personal maid' , but I know that won't be for long. I am getting out of here soon. That bastard thinks he is going to keep me here. How wrong he is.

"Um..can you fix my bandage. I think I tore some stiches. " , I asked her.

"Of course. " 

She then re-stiches my wound and places a new bandage on it. It hurts , but then I have to bear it. After that we both go to see their king and my 'mate' , Damien. Ugh! His name alone is capable to send shivers down my spine. I hate the effect he has even when he is not there.

Then both of us went outside my room and through a lot of hallways and staircases.  Finally we reached a room which had a huge Door , it was red color with gold on it's edges.

Martha opens the door and gestures me to go inside. It's his study room, I guess , but really big , it's like 3 master bedrooms in a house combined together.

I see him sitting on his chair behind a large desk, which seems to be made of marble. He looks super hot right now. He's wearing this suit that clings to his body and showcases his muscles, which I will not like to admit but makes me drool. I quickly snap out of it as he gestures me to sit down.

I sit on the black comfy chair .  "Where are my friends? I want to see them!" , I asked or more like demanded.

He sighed and with a very calm expression in his face spoke ,"Have you had anything yet?".

"No , but where are m---" , I got cut of by him.

"Then have something before we talk. I don't want my mate starved , now do I ?" , he asked smirking at me.

He snapped his fingers and a maid rushed in with a tray full of delicious foods.

My mouth watered at the sight and as soon as the tray was kept in front of me , I dug in. I noticed Damien was not eating so I asked him , "Are you not hungry?". 

"No , I already had my breakfast." , he answered.

I looked at him confused, "Then who is going to eat all of this?".

"You, love." , he said in duh kind of tone.

"But , I can't finish all of this!" , I looked at him as if he had grown three heads. 

"You will , end of discussion." , his voice had so much authority in it that I just sighed and ate quietly.

After my breakfast Damien spoke , breaking the silence. The tray had been collected by the same maid and we had been sitting in utter silence.

"Ok , Now I want you to listen to each and every word I say, then only speak. I know there's gonna be questions but hold them. So , what I have come up with is that I want you to stay with me for 10 days. I--" , before he could say anything else I interrupted , "What the hell! No way am I even staying here a second and where are my friends!?".

I banged my hands on the table while saying so. His eyes flashed red and truthfully I got scared. I whimpered and sank back in the chair.

His eyes softened a bit but remained cold enough to scare me.

"I said listen to what I am saying first!" , he growled.

I weakly nodded and he sighed.

"I want you to stay with me for 10 days Willingly , that means no escaping no troubling no nothing. I have decided that to make some understanding between us you will be here for 10 days , to understand and get to know each other. What I am making with you is a deal. In the time of 10 days , if you don't like me even a bit then you can ask me anything you want except escape. I can give you space or you can go back to earth with me. " 

I stared take him in shock.

"What do I get out of this if you're still with me?" , I asked him.

His eyes showed hurt but he covered it up quickly.

"You can have freedom but not from me , you can meet your family and anything except you going away from me. Just 10 days I want , in those 10 days if I am not able to make you fall in love with me or scratch that , even like me then you can do whatever you like. I won't keep you captive. I am selfish man rose , I can't help it. I know you don't understand any of this but the point is give me 10 days. That's all I am asking for." , he pleaded.

I stared at him for a while then asked , "What about my friends? Why are they here?" 

"It's better if they answer your question." 

I looked at him for while and then came to my decision.

"Ok I will give you the chance to make me fall in love wit you , time limit for 10 days. Deal?"

"Deal."

Huh.Deal with the devil. How bad can it be?
