SAVE ME

As Alexa walked back to her realm she couldn’t stop smiling.

That was the softest kiss he’d ever given her. She thought.

She blushed as she placed her hands on her lips and walked into her room.

“Alexa, are you okay?”Celine asked hurriedly.

“Yes, we heard”Karina said “Are you really okay?”

Alexa looked at them confused”Heard what?”

“The mission Nana gave you ” Karina said.

“Ah, that” Alexa smiled “It’s okay. I’m okay ”

“Seriously? You would had made a fuss about it by now”Celine asked.

“Seriously. And besides why make a fuss, that’s like asking for something bad to happen so that I can get something worthy to be called a ‘mission’ ” Alexa smiled as  she repeated what Damien had said and walked straight to her bed”I’m beat guys. I’m going to sleep”

“Is she okay? She just acted weird”Karina whispered to Celine.

“I think she’s okay “Celine said”let’s sleep too.”

Karina nodded her head and the two girls walked towards their bed and slept off.

The following morning at the dragon’s realm, Warren paced to and fro in his room.

He couldn’t let things continue like that between Alexa and the demon lord.

Yet there was nothing he could do, their lives depended on it.

“Aish” he grunted in frustration.

“Are you okay?”Josty asked rushing to his side.

Josty had followed him to the dragon realm secretly last night.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

This was another problem. Now he had to think of how to sneak her out.

“Do me a favor and stay 5 feets away” Warren said wrinkling his face.

Josty looked hurt”You are harsh”

“Trust me , I’m hurting you intentionally for both our sakes. When you snap out, you will be grateful”Warren said and halted in his thoughts.

Karina had said that the demon lord had told them to make sure Josty never snaps but he didn’t say anything about himself.

Warren smiled. An idea just came to him.

He ran out of his room headed for the Angel’s realm when he was stopped by Jaden.

Jaden was Jerrie’s bodyguard and the was in charge of everyone on the dragon’s realm.

“Where are you going?”Jaden asked.

“I have to do something real quick. I’ll be right -”

“It’s 8am , Warren. You have sword practice, don’t you ? You have been neglecting your duties so far so lord Jerrire had ordered a tight leash on you”

“A leash?”

“Yes. You can’t leave the realm for the next two weeks”

Warren’s eyes widened”Two weeks?”

“Yes. Now off you go for your sword practice”

Two weeks. Warren thought. Two weeks of not seeing Alexa and two weeks of being together with Josty.

He sighed. This was real hell.

Back at the witches realm, Laura wiped off her sweat as the love potion was now ready.

Daisy, Samantha and Raquel who were secretly watching her stared at Laura in shock.

It was the first time they’d ever seen Laura work so hard at something.

“Hey, pinch me”Raquel said to Daisy

“No. If I pinch you and then you scream, Laura will catch us”

“You have a point. I’m just amazed. She worked all night. What’s she making anyways?”

Samantha sniffed the air”Whatever it is, it smells nice”

Daisy gasped “Guys, I think Laura fell in love and is trying to impress someone”

Raquel’s eyes widened”Really? Laura?”

Samantha laughed”That’s absurd. Did you forget who Laura is? She has no time for love. She’s always busy with how to make spells and top the ‘witches weekly exam’ ”

Daisy nodded her head”That’s true. Anyways, let’s go eat something. I’m hungry”

As the three girls left chit-chatting, Laura looked around to see if anyone was watching her and transferred the potion to a small bottle.

Now the demon lord was all hers and all powers belong to her.

She laughed out loud as the sheer thought of that and headed for the demon realm.

In the demon realm, Damien was still fast asleep in his chambers.

All the ladies murmured amongst themselves.

It’s been long since the demon lord had slept in this late.

“Is he okay?”

“I’m getting anxious too”

“Poor, lord Damien”

Rosco cleared his throat to make his presence known to the ladies and they scurried away.

He opened Damien’s chambers and walked in .

He saw Damien sleeping so peacefully. His lord had never slept well since he was 8 years old.

He gently tapped Damien”My lord”

Damien slowly opened his eyes”Rosco?”

“You have a guest”

Damien sat upright and looked around him”What’s the time right now?”

“10am , my Lord”

Damien’s eyes widened. He’d slept in ??? How? He’d been having trouble sleeping since he was 8 years and now for the first time, he’d slept in.

He shook his head to clear the thought”Who is the guest?”

Could it be Alexa? He thought smiling slowly.

“A witch. She calls herself Laura”

His smile wiped off immediately”Just tell her to go”

“She brought a present for my Lord”

“Present?” Damien searched his mind. It wasn’t his birthday so why a present out of the blue?”Did someone die recently?”

Rosco looked up at Damien in surprise as he asked the question”No, My lord”

“Fine. I’ll see her. Send her in”

Rosco bowed his head and walked away from Damien’s chambers.

He arrived three minutes later with Laura.

Immediately Laura walked in, Damien stilled.

Her presence was familiar.

He clenched his fist . She was the one who was following him yesterday.

How dare she show herself??!

Laura bowed her head “Greetings, my Lord”

He would play along. Let’s see what she plans to do “Raise up your head ”

He might as well see her face since he plans to kill her.

Rosco looked at Damien in shock. This was the second person he as granting permission to see his face.

Laura rose up her head and smiled as she saw lord Damien’s perfect face.

He’s going to be all mine soon . She thought.

“What do you have in hand?” Damien asked

Laura stretched forth the wrapped gift as Damien gestured Rosco to take it from her hand.

Rosco collected the gift and handed it to Damien.

The minute the gift landed on Damien’s hand, he opened it and the smell of the love potion filled his nose.

He clenched his fist. Once again, someone wanted to take advantage of him .

Once again, someone thought he was weak.

He threw the potion on the floor and it broke to pieces.

Laura shivered at his sudden outburst.

“GET OUT!!” Damien roared with his eyes slowly turning red.

Laura whimpered as she scurried away from his presence.

Rosco moved to come close to Damien but he stopped him.

“Don’t come closer, it’s love potion”

Rosco immediately drew out his sword”My lord should i-”

“No. There’s no need to shed blood. Put back your sword”

Laura ran out in fear. What had happened? The potion had worked for the demon lord when Alexa used it.

Or hadn’t it ?

Laura smiled. She would report this back to Faren.

If Alexa was Damien’s weakness and Faren needed his weakness, things could work in her favour.

Faren would eliminate Alexa and she would be back to claim Damien’s heart.

“Just you wait, demon lord. You are mine” Laura muttered as she angrily went to the vampire realm
