The Christmas Devil's Bride (2nd Book Of The Krampus Series)

Mysterious

If there was one thing Samantha finds mysterious about, aside from the place she is living in and slowly adapting, is the Christmas Devil himself.

True that she often would see his shadow and sometimes himself somewhere in each place but it was only rare she could actually see it.

Now that she thinks of it, it almost sounded like he was avoiding her. The ring on her ring finger glowed a faint red in response and Samantha can only guess that he was somewhere outside.

"Guten Morgen!"

Phyrra's greeting made Samantha snap out of her thoughts and her attention was turned to the smiling elf with christmas treats and a really burnt meat on a hook.

Probably should stay away from that for now.

Samantha thought before grabbing the sweets and munching down on them. Phyrra quickly checked to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her mistress and Samantha find it a bit overbearing that her friend was doing this.

"Phyrra I'm fine, last time was an accident" Samantha reassured and Phyrra gave her a confused look before the female elf finally got what her mistress was saying and shook her head in response.

Phyrra was worried for Samantha and she would have to remind herself that she was just a human and it was also ordered by Krampus to watch over her and one simple mistake could end her life.

"Say Phyrra, what do you think about Krampus?"

This made the elf look at her mistress in surprise. For as long as Samantha stayed, she knew that the girl was terrified and a bit angry as well as disgusted with Krampus for taking her away.

So this question broughy an interest to her.

Samantha blinked at the look Phyrra was giving her before she felt realization hit her and heat crawled up her skin.

"Hey, I am not thinking what you are thinking I'm just curious okay"

Phyrra shrugged with a grin, showing off her fangs "Es tut mir leid Herrin" Samantha sighed and rested her chin on her hand.

"I am not gonna stay here and feel like a prisoner the whole time. I have to know who he really is at some point. Something tells me he's more than just the Christmas Devil"

Phyrra smiled sadly and bit her lip. She knew her master's legend among the humankind but she never knew how he became to be. It was a secret only the master itself knew.

"I have a feeling that only he knows"

Samantha finally said after she noticed the look Phyrra had on her face and her elf friend nodded sadly.

Samantha sighed before finishing her breakfast and standing up to head out of her room.

"Wohin gehst du?"

Phyrra asked and Samantha shrugged "I'm going out to talk to Krampus" Before Phyrra could even protest, Samantha had already shut the wooden door, leaving the female elf to wonder what her mistress was going to do.

***

I should have thought this through when I made that dramatic exit.

Samantha thought bitterly when she found herself lost again in the never ending twists and turns of the lair.

Making a mental note to herself to ask Phyrra a long awaited tour of the lair and to make a map for her not to be lost again.

Samantha went down a spiraling path and ended at a wooden door with obvious warning signs written in their language.
