The Demon King

CHAPTER 13

Rose's POV

I am woken up by someone furiously shaking my shoulders. I quickly snap open my eyes and find a panicked carol. 

"What happened? Are you ok? Are you hurt? ", I question her.

"No , I am not hurt. But where are we? I don't remember anything." , she says.

I sigh out of relief and look at her. Slightly shocked that she forgot everything so easily. Well maybe she did not know anything in the first place.

That son of b***h probably just left her in the cell and didn't bother explaining anything to her. What kind of mate is he? 

Though I will never admit it out loud but I am thankful that I got a mate like Damien. I really hate zeke, exactly how heartless is he. 

I have decided when the 10 days are over , I am getting the hell out of here( the irony ). 

Let Damien do whatever he wants but nothing in this world will ever convince me to stay with him.

He is sweet and nice. But he is the king of hell for crying out loud. I want a normal life. And with him I can never get that. I want to live on earth with my family and friends. I want to graduate , have a job , find love and marry that person. Then we will have 3 kids and 2 dogs , that is how I want to have my happily ever after. Not being the queen of his kingdom. 

I was brought back from my thoughts by Carol who was snapping her fingers in front of me.

"Hello? You there?", she said.

I laughed,"Yup still there." 

"So...Now are you gonna tell me where we are?" 

"Oh! Right.", I said.

She just kept looking at me for some kind of explanation but I did know how to tell her. What am supposed say 'yeah , so we are in hell , but not dead and we have mates who kidn*pped us. By the way , you were in a dungeon cell for like 2 days. So...that's about it.' 

Yeah, I don't think so.

"Um...see the thing is...I don't know how to say this but....er..we were kidn*pped. "

And this is where she screams, 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!What the hell!?", she yells at me while I cover my poor ears.

"Okay...I predicted that. But chill girl, let me finish. So as I was saying, W-we a-are in hell.

Before you start laughing or think we died , let me tell you everything first. Our mates kidn*pped us. " 

"What the f**k!? And what are mates?", she questioned with a very confused face.

Oh! I forgot she doesn't know what mates are.

"Ugh! Why is it so hard to explain. Listen, we are in hell. We have mates. Mate is your soul mate and your other half, remember the wolf movie we saw , there was mates there , well it's exactly like that. There is whole supernatural world. All kinds of being we thought didn't exist or were only in books and movies are real. Hell, heaven, vampire, werewolves, witches etc are all real. Our mates kidn*pped us, because I quote 'we belong here. This is our home now.'  My mate is Damien. Yes , the hot guy from the mall. He is the king here and though is sweet and all , he is a bloody caveman. Well , your mate is zeke. The idiotic asshole. Please don't tell me you forgot what he did to you." , I said really fast.

Carol was quite for a moment before she touched her forehead and started swaying a bit. I quickly grab hold of her shoulder and ask, " Are you ok?".

She just shakes her head and says,

"I remember now, but it's abit fuzzy. Zeke had carried me I know that and he threw me in some kind of cell. It was really dark there. Rose, I was so scared. He is scary I don't ever want to see him. Please , he can't be my mate. Mates don't do that. Right? Damien didn't do anything to you right?" , she quickly asks.

"No , no he didn't. We just had some arguments but no he didn't hurt me physically. And Carol......I am sorry you have zeke as your mate. But I swear as soon as these 10 days are over , we are getting out of here." 

"Why 10 days?", she questions.

I sigh and answer her.

"When I first woke up , I was terrified and wanted to get away. I literally ran around this castle like a mad woman to escape, but Damien blackmailed me saying if I ran I would be leaving you guys here. So , he then explained why we were kidn*pped and all. At the end I was overwhelmed. The next day , he made a deal with me , that I give him 10 days. In those 10 days I don't try to run or whatsoever. He will try to make me fall in 'love' with him apparently , after those 10 days I can ask him some time away from him or anything for that matter but I can't escape. But , now that I see what zeke has done to you. I will not stay a minute after these horrendous days. " 

She looked shocked and bit pale. I understand I overwhelmed her with all this information. 

"Are you crazy!? Why would you agree to that? Now we are stuck here for days. I don't want to see him again. He scares me." , she whispers the last part. 

I know she is talking about zeke. I swear just thinking about him makes me want to choke him to death. Wait- he is a demon right? So he probably can't die like that! 

How stupid to even think that, I should think of something better. Like a wood stake through his heart, but doesn't that work on only vampires? Ugh! I'll plan his murder later.

"Carol, I'll go bring food for us. You need to rest, your still sick." 

She nods weakly and I got to bathroom, wash my face and tie my hair in a high ponytail. Before exiting the room altogether. 

I roam around trying to remember where I had seen the kitchen. I then remember I had never seen it. But I know Damien went to the  dining room, so the kitchen must be there somewhere.

I find the dining room and start searching for the kitchen. I then find it right next to the dining room.

It's huge.

That's what she said.

Shut up, you dirty mind.

I search looking for something to make a proper meal with. I find eggs , butter , sugar , milk and everything necessary to make a decent pancakes with.

I start cooking and singing a soft tune while swaying my hips. Soon I feel someone breathing down my neck. I turn around to find a smirking Damien standing way to close for my liking.

My stupid body betrays me. How you may ask? Well my heart starts beating rapidly, my palms become sweaty and I blush furiously for no reason whatsoever.

See, this is why I dislike him. He affects me just by being there. His mere persensenc can do wonders to me body. 

"What are you doing, love?", he asks with his velvety voice.

"C-cooking." 

STUPID BODY. STOP BEING NERVOUS YOU DUMB STUPID PERSON.

Yup , I am mentally scolding myself to get hold of me in this situation.

"Why didn't you ask one the maids to do it?", he whispers in my ear.

"Um...I wanted to make something for myself and Carol. I didn't want to trouble them.", I say.

"What did you want?", I say trying to sound confident.

He chuckles," You" 

I become tomato red and push him away.

"Seriously, leave me alone. I am trying to do something." 

He just shrugs and leans against the counter. I am trying to flip the pancake but his stares are making me so nervous I am literally shaking.

He has amusement swarming in his eyes. He walks up to me and then holds my hand and helps me flip the pancake. 

"We are going for a tour around the kingdom." , he suddenly speaks.

"Huh?" , is what I can mutter.

"I said we are going for a tour around the kingdom. I want to show you around." 

"Only me?" 

"For now only you and me. Your friends will go with their respective mates. This way we can spend more time with each other and get to know one another."

I think about it for a while before nodding and saying ,"Ok ".
