65 Chapter 65: The Demon Realm Reed blocked the demon’s claws while Maria stabbed it in its belly. It spilled a dark liquid into her face, and the others even spit on Emy and Reed as Reed was trying to protect her. When the black lion fell, Reed picked it up and threw it far away, where an enormous snake suddenly lifted its long body into the air and caught the big lion in its mouth. Reed grabbed Emy by the arm and pulled her toward him.

“If the other side of the portal still doesn’t come out, we will fight them all night, along with all the wild animals that roam around at night.”

“Are there lots of these monsters?”

“They’re bigger than the animals you usually see. Let’s say there’s a slight difference...,” Reed said.

“Reed, I can tell much of a difference between them. They each have a distinctive size and look.”

“Is that so?” said Reed, who barely laughed at what he said. He simply didn’t want to scare Emy.

They could witness the lion’s body, which had practically formed the shape of the snake’s body, as it enter the mouth of the enormous snake. Emy swallowed. The snake’s mouth had two big fangs that stuck out. Somehow, they were distracted by the earthquake’s tremors.

“Oh my gosh, Reed, a quake! “Is there also a volcano here?”

“Yes, but I don’t think it’ll erupt tonight,” said Maria.

.....

There was a very loud growl that almost made the trees move. Reed grabbed Emy right away, and the two of them ran toward the gigantic tree’s back. Maria went after them and hid behind a tree on the other side. Emy was so scared that she thought she was going to have a heart attack. Reed put one hand over Emy’s mouth and the other hand around her body. He hugged Emy from behind while leaning against the trunk of the enormous tree. He could feel Emy’s heart beating hard.

Reed put his mouth close to Emy’s. “Just calm down, Emy. They can hear your heartbeat and will figure out where we are hiding.”

“Hmmm!” Emy alone could say.

Soon, you’ll see a gigantic bear tearing down a tree to get through it. It looked at the snake, but the snake was focused on something else, so it didn’t notice the bear. The bear stopped moving and took a deep breath. Maria looked at Reed, who was hugging Emy. They saw the bear coming toward where they were. With each step they take out of their hiding place, the shaking will get stronger.

Emy stopped breathing when, out of nowhere, the head of a bear popped up between the two trees where they were hiding. When it sniffs, she can see how it moves its nose and hear the noise it makes. When the big black bear with the red color eyes faced her, her fingernail almost went into Reed’s arm, and his eyes popped out. Emy and the bear’s eyes met. She didn’t know if it saw her, but she couldn’t stop looking into its eyes. Soon, it walked away, and they heard its far-off steps.

Emy took Reed’s hand off her mouth right away, and she gasped for air. Her knees got weaker and her breath got deeper. Reed got hold of her.

“Are you okay?” Reed had asked.

“I’m not okay, to be honest,” said Emy. “I’m going to die here from a heart attack.”



Maria looked at the portal, but there was still no sign that someone had opened it on the other side. “My King, there is still no sign on the other side of the portal that Prince Devin is there. Let’s just stay here for now so we don’t draw wild animals’ attention.”

“You are correct.” Under the shade of a tree, Reed sat down next to Emy. The other side is still where Maria is.

“Your world.” Reed and Maria both looked at her. “For the world’s dark side.”

Maria and Reed did not speak. Reed looked at Maria when she stood up. “Maria, where are you going?”

“My king, I will look at the portal and also look around. We can meet more than just wild animals here.” Mary said. “I’ll survey the area.”

Maria left, and Reed said nothing. As Maria walked away, Emy watched her.

“How long have you known Maria?” Emy sprung the question out of the blue.

“Yes, it’s been a while...” Reed said.

Emy nodded, then turned to look at Reed. “Have you had s*x with her yet?”

“What?” Reed asked, surprised.

“I’m sure she hasn’t had sex with Devin yet because she doesn’t trust him,” Emy said. “But she believes in you.”

“What made you ask that out of the blue?”

“I was just wondering,” said Emy. “Eve told me I’m the only man she can’t have sex with is you. Then you told me you also have a lot of female demons that have sex; however, I only want to know whether Maria is one of the women you are referring to.”

“If I answer your question, will anything change?”

“When you answer my question, we’ll know.”

Reed didn’t respond to Emy’s question. Emy felt pain in her heart suddenly. She didn’t even ask any more questions. Reed would sometimes look at Emy because she would suddenly stop talking. Reed got up and looked through the portal, where Maria wasn’t.

“Where does she go?” Reed asked himself.

When he turned to look at Emy, she wasn’t there. “Wifey?”

Meanwhile, something covered her mouth with its hand and pulled her away from Reed, who was standing and looking at the portal. The creature dragged her away from Reed quickly. But it was too powerful for him to hold on to. Anything that would make Reed’s ears perk up, he kicked into the weeds on her way by.

It distracted Reed when he heard a noise off in the distance. “Wifey.”

Emy struggles to get out of the creature’s grasp. Even worse, her pants were entangled in the thorny branches of the grass, and as a result, the fabric of her pants became torn, which allowed the thorn to pierce her flesh and cut into her leg.

“Agh!” she cried out.

Emy held the hand of the creature that was covering her mouth with both of her hands. The hand covering her mouth was finally taken away, but before she could scream, she felt pain in her stomach. The creature punched her in the stomach before she could even see its face, knocking her out.

Reed moved closer to where the noise was coming from. He looked around and saw the thing that had been pulled in a certain way. He kept walking and kept on that path. There was a piece of cloth stuck to the thorns. Reed smelled it, and he could tell that the blood was still fresh.

“My King.”

Reed looked at Maria, who had just arrived. “What’re you doing here? Where’s the queen? ”

“Looks like someone took her,” said Reed.

Maria scowled and looked around. She even looked at the hint. Reed walked and kept going along the other path until it ended. The clue he was following vanished.

“Damn it!” Reed’s grumpy groan.

“My King, there’s no sign of her here. Maybe she was lifted when she got here.” Maria said. “Among the hints, there is only one that may lead to the queen’s kidnapping.”

“Wendigo...” Reed’s hand was tight when he held that piece of fabric. He walked quickly and then started running.

He made black smoke come out of his hand and blew it into the air. He needs to see Emy before it’s too late. Maria was right behind him, and she was also always looking around.

“Maria, let’s split,” Reed said. He then ran to the right side of the woods.

Maria did nothing but stand there and watch Reed walk away.

Emy woke up at the same time. When she opened her eyes, that dark place caught her attention. She felt intense nervousness. When she heard the strange growls, she would have screamed. Even though she was breathing deeply, she closed her eyes and held herself back. Both of her hands and feet were tied together. When the strange thing touched her leg, it made her cry. She opened her eyes slowly. Since her eyes were used to the darkness, she could see the shapes of the surrounding creatures. The creature she saw was skinny, and it pulled tight its dried skin around its bones. Looked like a thin skeleton because its bones were pushing against its skin, its skin was death gray, and its eyes were pushed back far into their sockets. And it looks scary, with wild, angry eyes that shine with a cold light.

Emy started crying, but she held herself because she didn’t want to make a sound. She couldn’t fight. And couldn’t move because her hands and feet were tied. And besides that, she was in another world.

‘Reed... help me....’

Reed ran and looked around to find her. He runs away as soon as he sees some wild animals. Emy is his top priority, so he doesn’t have time to fight them. If he got caught and waste his time fighting them, he might not catch Emy alive.
