Demons ran as fast as they could, fleeing the force that had awakened and was now after them. 36 of them had already fallen and one was now being dragged through the underground castle that Hell kept hidden. The demon tried to move away from it's captor but the grip on it's shoulder was too strong to merely be brushed off. The demon was slammed against the wall, the figure that held the demon was hidden by the cloak they wore. " You better not be leading me astray! For be warmed if you are I will personally kill you!" the female voice sounded so angelic yet as dark as a demon's.
" I promise I'm not Keller.... I know of your...conquests and know better than to betray you..." it stuttered out. Keller merely smiled as she let go of it, watching it move slowly down the halls, she kept close behind it; she wasn't going to help him get away to inform the other demons around that she was around. She followed him until he stopped outside a door. " She's in.....I mean..." Keller merely shoved him aside, clearly not in the mood to listen to him. " She's being guarded....by a powerful demoness....she is supposed to rival you......"
"This should be fun then," Keller kicked the door sharply, sending it flying off the hinges and into a wall on the otherside of the room. She stepped inside and looked around, her daughter was laying on a bed asleep while a demoness watched over her. " So your supposed to rival me are you?" Keller moved closer, not looking at the demoness who had already drawn her sword and was moving towards Keller. " I have nothing against you so I'm not in the mood to kill you so I'll take my daughter and go," Keller said calmly.
The demoness lunged at her but Keller merely side stepped, she clearly wasn't in the mood to fight. Keller drew her sword and turned to look at the demoness, she looked over her shoulder at her daughter who was starting to stir. " Looks like I'm just gonna have to kill you now," she said coldly. She watched as the demoness's image changed to her own, she looked down and merely smiled. " Great...just great!"
Keller blocked the demoness's attacks them stun and decapitated the demoness in one swift movement. Keller sheathed her sword and walked over to her daughter who laid in the bed. " Illyria, I'm here for you. Wake up my little darling," she said softer than anyone had ever heard her speak.
Illyria's eyes slowly opened, seeing a figure beside her made her draw back but then she looked up at the figures face and saw her mother. " Mum....is it really you?" she asked, her voice trembled slightly. Keller couldn't help but smile.
" You don't have to worry, no-one is going to harm you again," Keller looked around then felt Illyria's small arms grab her and hug her. " I should of been there to protect you, you and Hellwise," she said softly, sadly. Her every word full of regret and sorrow. " I shouldn't of went to sleep, shouldn't of left you alone..." tears formed in Keller's eyes.
" Mum...it's not your fault, you had to rest," Illyria looked like her mother as she looked up at Keller, who took the girl in her arms and held her close. Gently wrapping her arms around her daughter as she stood up. The demon that had brought her here walked into the room, Keller looked at him and noticed something. He was half human, so why didn't he take on a human form?
" You know I'm a half breed, don't you?" Keller nodded. " And now you want to know why I'm helping you?" he started to change into his human form. He was handsome, dark hair that was choppy and went to his shoulders and deep green eyes.
He has a nice body, he used to come in topless when he was checking on me, Illyria was speaking to her mind.
Thanks for that Illyria and you really shouldn't be looking, Keller was already looking but shook it from her thoughts. " Yes actually I do," she said softly.
He slowly started to remove his shirt to reveal a tattoo on his back that made Keller take a step back, she knew that tattoo.He put his shirt back on as he watched Keller put Illyria down, he sighed to himself. Keller watched him for a second before looking away. " Don't worry Black Rose I'm still loyal to Night Blade and to my High Lady," he bowed to her.
" Don't bow to me," she said as she took Illyria's hand and walked over to him. "Will you help us get out of here? Please, or atleast get her out of here?" she said as she looked down at Illyria.
" I'll get you's both out of here," he turned and walked back into the hallway. " You can shimmer out from here, I'll tell them you got out before I got here...." He stopped when Keller gently touched his arm.
" Come with us....You helped her and for that I owe you deeply. You protected my daughter when I couldn't," she said calmly. He smiled in return then put his arm around her as she shimmered. They all appeared in her home, Keller bent down and looked at Illyria. " I have to leave but only for a little while. I have a demon to kill," she said as she vanished.
" I promise I'm not Keller.... I know of your...conquests and know better than to betray you..." it stuttered out. Keller merely smiled as she let go of it, watching it move slowly down the halls, she kept close behind it; she wasn't going to help him get away to inform the other demons around that she was around.
