(Veronica POV)
My eyes widen as I look at the thing in front of me.
Hideous body.... 4 eyes....horns.
A demon.
I looked at Philip and he was just as shocked as me.
“What is that thing?!” Haiden asked.
“It's a demon...” Noah said in a low voice.
“But demons are extinct with the destruction of their Lord!” Violet whisper screams.
I stared at the demon in horror.
But what are they doing here?
The demon suddenly raised his head in the air and sniffed. It snapped his head in our direction and we all froze on the spot.
My body started to heat up a bit and it was definitely not the ones I usually feel.
It roared looking at us as though it can see right through the invisible shield.
“I think it can smell us” Philip whispered as I gulp.
Suddenly it ran towards our direction and we deactivated the shield before jumping out of the way.
We ran towards the grassland so that we have more room to battle the beast.
I took out my weapon which consisted of two white glowing whiplashes activated with dark magic power.
Everyone else activated their magic as their eyes turned bright color.
The demon roared before coming out from the trees. Its eyes, by now were glowing red and by eyes I meant his entire eyes.
Noah used his power and threw an orb at the demon making it roar and turn its attention to him.
The monster attacked Noah but he was quick as he jumped in the air and summoned his blue sword before attacking it back.
The demon roared in pain but I grasped as the wound healed almost immediately.
Noah was also shocked as he failed to notice the monster’s hand.
He was thrown to the trees but if it wasn’t for Philip’s protection shield he would have been badly hurt.
The others ran to the demon and started attacking it. I slashed my whiplash in the air preparing it before running to it.
Violet used her powers to restrain the demon but she was having difficulty holding it still. I jumped in the air and wrapped my lash around its neck before holding it tight.
The demon roared and broke the strain of Violet before throwing her to a nearby tree. He lashed his hands and swiped the other three warriors to the ground on top of Noah.
It suddenly turned and faced me and for a minute I thought I saw him grinning at me.
I gulp as his eyes glowed brighter and my mark suddenly burned more painfully.
It grabbed my leg and raised me in the air roaring right at my face.
“Veronica!” I heard Noah shout before a large orb hit the demons back.
The demon with me hanging from his hand turned and growled at Noah.
Using that time I used my free leg to kick it in the neck before running to Noah.
My leg was stinging at where the monster forcefully grab.
“Prince Noah, he is too strong. We are weak. We should retreat!” Philip shouted as everyone immediately agreed.
He looked around conflicted finally landing on my face before looking at my injured leg.
“Alright retreat. Transport to the guest house” he said before he wrapped his arm around me.
He closed his eyes and I closed mine since I knew he was going to transport us.
My mark was burning more at his touch and I’m in desperate need of my medicine.
As soon as we reach the house I pushed him away before running to the girl’s bedroom. My hands shook as I rampaged through my bag.
I took out one of the many bottles containing my medicine and drank from it.
I gagged in disgust at the taste but continue to have the whole bottle.
“Are you feeling sick again?!” Noah’s voice suddenly ranged through the room.
I turned as he walking hurriedly to me.
“Um... yea I felt a bit sick” I said as I put the medicine back in the bad before zipping it tight.
“Do you need anything?” he asked concerned filling guilt in me.
“Um... No?” I asked mentally slapping for making it a doubtful question.
“You sure?” he asked as I nodded and sighed.
“Ok” he said but still stood there.
“Anything you need?” I asked as he sighed.
“At least let me dress your wound” he said as he pointed to my injured leg.
I gulp and looked at him with hesitant.
I don’t know whether the medicine has been efficient since my mark is still burning.
“I can do it myself or I will ask Phil....” I started to say but he banged his hand on a table nearby stopping me mid-sentence.
“Just... please?” he said his eyes begging for my approval.
“A-alright” I said as I sighed and sat on the bed.
He nodded before running out of the room. After a few minutes he ran back inside with a bandage and medicine, before staring at my wound.
“Hot water. We need hot water and towel” he murmured before going out again.
I watched as he ran back to the room but only to go to the bathroom.
“Aha!” I heard him shout before coming out with a light blue towel. He again went out and after a few minutes came in with a tub of hot water.
He then sat down on the ground next to me before lifting my leg and putting it on top of his’s.
By now the burning feeling was very low almost non-existent, and I silently thanked him for wasting the time running around the house.
“That demon had a tight grip on your leg. His claw wounded your leg” he said examining my leg.
On my ankle was a handprint along with the claw marks.
“Um ok... Let’s see umm...” he said as his hand went over the things he brought trying to choose which one.
“Do you know how to do the first aid?” I asked confused at his antics.
“Of course I do. I have learned it in training.” He mumbled before grabbing the towel.
“You seem a bit confused?” I said as he immersed it in hot water.
“Ow!” I said as I felt a hot sting on my wound.
“s**t too hot!” he said before starting to wave the towel.
I couldn’t help but let out a laugh as he pouted and continued his job.
I really think he has lost his mind.
“Umm... Noah this is very sweet of you but umm...” I stumbled as he tied the bandage around my leg.
“Um Noah,” I called as he hummed in response not losing concentration.
“You do remember you could have just used magic to take care of it” I said as he froze.
“I don’t know why my brain stops working around you” he murmured and I blushed and looked away embarrassed.
‘Calm down’ I told my overbeating heart.
