"I need you to help me find someone"Zamiel said dropping the pen he was holding.
"Someone. Yes, master" Dave said attempting to leave, before taking an abrupt pause.
"Master, any details?"
"A young lady, brown hair, slim figure" Zamiel said as he resumed with his work.
Confused and unsure, Dave remained silent hoping for a proper description.
"What is it? I believe I gave you an order just now!" Zamiel said looking a bit angry.
"Yes , master. But..are those the only details you have?"
"You have three day!" Zamiel said then resumed with his work. Dave knew Zamiel too well to go against his orders.
"Yes, master!" He said bowing deeply, about to take his leave when Zamiel spoke.
"By the way, take care of whatever family she as cause I plan on keeping her with me forever" He said not stopping the work he was doing.
"Take care of" yes , master " Dave said understanding what Zamiel meant.
Working with Zamiel for years ,Dave had"taken care of a lot of people, though he tried to avoid killing as much as possible and still avoided annoying his boss, but sometimes, he couldn't help it.
He hoped that he ciuyat least help this situation without having to murder any one
...
After taking care of the garden, I had my breakfast during dinner time.
Feeling a bit nauseous, I headed into the bathroom. After getting dressed I went into my bedroom leaving them while they had their dinner.
I sat up, resting my head on my knee.
Suddenly, the thought of the strange man from yesterday came into my mind.
"What if I hadn't woken up, what would he have done to me?" I kept pondering on the thought hoping to fall asleep eventually, but I couldn't.
It was too hot and the bed to inconvenient.
I stood up and went out of the house hoping to get some fresh hair. I squatted has there where no chairs around. I watched the full moon as the cool breeze brushes against my skin. I wished I could just be like that forever.
Free from stress, pain and witha glimpse of happiness and satisfaction. This was a feeling I had never rememberd ever experiencing.
"Ruffle" A sound from the bush disturbed my thoughts.
I wasn't going to take any risks and was about to take to my heels when I saw a cute, white bunny coming out of the bush.
"It must have been the cause of the sound" I thought, and squatted back in relief.
As I gazed on the full moon, "ruffle" there was another sound from the bush again. Now I wasn't ready for any other explanations.
I rose up and turned around, ready to run, when I found an extremely disturbing looking creature standing before me.
It stood like a human figure bit every other things about it was surreal, scary and disgusting.
It let out a low growl as it began approaching me slowly.
I froze In fear and found my self unable to move. It stopped walking and sprinted towards me throwing it self at me.
I screamed, jacking my legs I'm the air as I pushed it , preventing it from taking a bite out if me.
"Please.. please.. don't hurt me" I pleaded as tears and hot sweat rolled down my cheeks.
I knew that, no one was coming to help and if I remained hear I would end up dying, and I wasn't ready for that. I gathered my strength and pushed it off me before taking to my heels.
It was at the direction leading to my hoy, do I had to take the opposite path.
Each time it felt like it was about to catch up with me, adrenaline kicked in and I out ran it again.
One thing I knew was that I was human, and would soon get tired, but it on the other hand was a beast..a demon!
It wouldn't get tired easily which was my biggest problem. My doom!!!
My leg went number and I couldn't run any longer. I tripped and fell on my chest, i turned around immediately and saw the creature running at me, just as it was about to jump on top of me,it split right in half and it's purple blood spilled all over me.
My eyes widened in in shock. " What just happened" I think in shock as I gathered all my strength to get up onu feet.
"It's dead ?what killed it? What the hell happened?" I whispered in fear.
Then the thought came to me" what ever killed it , could kill me too"
I froze as I heard footsteps approaching. I saw a man in all black. His face wasn't yet visible as there was still a large distance in between us, yet his footsteps sounded do close.
I turned around, trying to run away but instead I bumped into the man.
How did he get in front of me!
"Please, don't kill me" I begged with teary eyes.
"Of, course. I don't have any intentions of, and even if I did , I wouldn't dare" He said wearing an innocent smile on
"Wouldn't dare?" What could he mean by that.
"Thank you for saving me." I said as I gathered my self together.
"No, the pleasure is all mine ,my lady"
I nearly choked at his words.
"I? My lady?" Could he be high on something.
"My lady?" I said to him feigning a smile.
"I should get you back home now. It is Dave outside for you now, so you refrain from going out at night" He said calmly.
Who or what on earth could he be,and why was he looking after me
I nooded to him before we both started heading to my house.
"You are not human, right?" I asked suddenly, yet he wasn't taken aback. Rather, a soft smile crept on his face.
"Yes, I'm not. I'm a demon"he said calmly
My heart skipped bits as I froze
I shot him a glare in shock. He wasn't even reluctant to say it.
"If you are a demon, why are you helping me?" I asked looking him dead in the eyes.
I needed answers, coz, my already complicated life was getting further ruined.
"You should head home. I'll watch after you" He said then disappeared.
I was shocked, extremely shocked, but couldn't risk freezing and not running in when he was no longer hear.
I took to my heels and didn't stop to breathe until I was inside my room.
Being hot was better than being dead!
.....
"My lady, we have a guest" The maid said bowing deeply to Mrs Meyer.
"Guests? I'm not expecting any guests"She said indifferently, still not moving from he seat.
"They seem like important people. Like they are here to pick a bride. I did see an extremely handsome young man amist them,so ma....
Before the maid could finish her words,Mrs Meyer bolted out.
****
Dave and his escorts were welcomed warmly.
After explaining that he was here for one of her their daughters, the Meyer family gladly brought out it's three daughters
Dave wasn't sure if the mysterious lady who seemed to have won his master's heart was hear, but as usual, he went around many households looking for her.
Someone among his escorts took a picture of the daughters and sent it to Zamiel.
"Are you sure this are all your daughters?" Dave asked after Zamiel confirmed that the lady wasn't amongst them.
"Yes, but.."
"Then I'll be taking my leave"Dave said as he rose up.
"What?.. what exactly do you mean?"Mrs Meyer said in confusion and annoyance.
"Ma'am, neither of your daughters is the one I'm searching for" Dave answered calmly.
"Searching for! So you barged into my house only to leave after insulting us like this, you this crazy man!" She shouted angrily.
"Mother please cam down"Ahiah who knew Mrs Meyer could end up doing or saying something she would eventually regret, intervened.
Zamiel, who was watching the whole scenario as it was being recorded spotted Aviah.
"There she is!"Zamiel said to Dave. They were on a phone call and Dave had an ear pod on.
On hearing this is eyes brightened up in joy.
If the lady had been found, his life wasn't in danger anymore...at least, for now
"Who! Where master!" Dave asked in excitement. Other than being happy for his life, he really wanted to see the woman who stole his master's heart.
"The lady in brown dress?"
"Mrs Meyer, why didn't you bring her out when we requested to see your daughters"Dave asked with a low, thick yet firm voice
"Why would I! She isn't my daughter!"Mrs Meyer spat angrily.
"Uhn? Any ways, she is the one I'm looking for"Dave said leaving the entire household dazed. Especially Aviah.
"What!?Her! What is so special about her!" Mr Meyer said out of irritation.
"$150million dollars and other items as dowrey, can we take her"Dave said with his hands crossed around his chest.
"What!"the entire family exclaimed
"No! What exactly do you want. What is your purpose "Mr Meyer asked
****
Aviah's pov
"No! What exactly do you want? What is your purpose!?" My dad asked. Was my dad just standing up for me. Did he really acknowledge me as his daughter deep down?
"$150 million dollars for this girl? Alright, she's yours "Mrs Meyer said coldly.
"No! "My father said. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks as I felt like hugging him tightly
"Make it $250 million dollars!" He suddenly added.
My heart shrunk inside my chest and my jaw dropped. He never even really cared
"Fine $250 million dollars" Dave said then asked one of his escorts to make the transfer.
" Can we take her now. The other items will be delivered to you later today " Dave explained
"Of course. She's all your's....
