Don't Go Away (Leif x Reader)

~Chapter 7~

     Do you know how he said at any moment? Well if he meant three hours he should've declared that in the first place. The time was 3:35 when the woman started screaming, and now it is 6:35 in the evening.

     As Pierce keeps holding the young woman and covering her mouth, she's kicking and squirming around in his tight grasp, screaming and yelling out muffled words.

     "Why is this day taking forever!" Leif shouts out.

     He's sprawled out on the floor in a starfish position. Y/N is next to him, leaning on the window, her head buried in her arms while her legs are propped up for support.

     "Uagh, I can't take it anymore!!" Noi is standing, his head resting on the wall. As he turns around to inform the other Daemos, he looks tired. "Make her stop!"

     "Just kill her!" Asch orders, he's sitting on the sofa and has his face in his hands.

     "What?" Pierce asks.

     "Who's killing what now?" Leif stands up instantly. Asch stands up and looks at the woman.

     "Let me try something," Rhys suggests as he sits up from the chair.

     "We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas," Asch tells him. The cat crawls onto the sofa and rests on the pillows.

     "I have an idea," Rhys states.

     "You couldn't have had an idea sooner?" Noi questions him.

     "Silence," Rhys orders. Rhys walks up closer to the woman in Pierce's grasp.

     "Human," he says. She answers with more squirming and muffled screaming. "Human!" He claps his hands and the maiden stops.

     "That... worked?" Noi questions.

     "Why didn't you try that sooner?" Leif asks.

     "I agree, this torture could've been over a long time ago," Y/N's legs are now sprawled on the floor, and she's too drained to get back up.

     "I didn't think a pet command gesture would work," Rhys tells the Princess.

     "We don't have a pet, why would you think of that in the first place?" Y/N wonders. Leif offers Y/N his hand and she takes it. Leif pulls her up and ends up pulling her close to his chest.

     "Heh, I like it here," Leif smirks.

     "Leif..." Asch glares at the white-haired Daemos and Leif reluctantly lets go of Y/N.

     "Human, please forgive our intrusion. If we let you move, will you please not scream," Rhys talks to the female. "We promise we won't hurt you."

     "No, we don't," Asch whispers while the cat stares at him, wagging its tail. If cats can smile, this one surely was.

     The woman nods slowly.

     "Good, alright Pierce, let her go," Rhys orders him.

     Pierce gently sets her down to a standing position. She turns around, looking up at him. Pierce pats her on the head a few times until she turns around and eyes the Daemos.

     "U-Um... what the hell are you guys?" the lady asks them.

     "That doesn't matter," Asch opens his hand, and fire starts to crack and flicker from his palms. "Now tell us about you're world or we'll-"

     "Asch..." Y/N yells his name. Asch reluctantly deactivates his power and scoffs.

     "Wait.. so that magic fire stuff I saw before was... real?" She asks.
