The devil [1] (Lumity/the owl house Fanfiction)

51

Luz's POV;

I placed a hand on my temple and breathed in heavily to keep myself calm.

Taking a step around, I faced one of the walls and heaved a loud sigh.

"Luz..?"

I glanced over when King muttered for my attention.

"Alright, this is about enough as I can take, let King go, and we'll be on our way." I said.

There was a burst maniacal laughter that echoed through the place when the supposed leader responded.

"Sorry... But he's my pet now, and there is nothing you can do about it."

I groaned in irritation at that.

Placing a hand to the wall, I rubbed my temple to keep it together.

I'm not supposed to hurt women and killing that ogre was just an accident.

"First King disappears and I find him a slave here..." I muttered.

[Luz.]

"Just what else is there to expect on someone who can't take care of themself??" I continued.

[Luz, calm down.]

"I am calm!!!" I yelled before punching the wall.

It broke into bits and pieces with a loud explosion from my fist.

Scowling I held my head before yelling curses out loud.

[Breathe in, Luz, it's fine now... You found King and you can take him back home now. There's nothing to worry about anymore. Deep breathes, Luz...]

I took a slow breather and helped myself down into a calm state.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away. Where were we again?" I said after turning back around to face the leader.

"Oh! We were on the subject of you making me free King." She said.

"Green leader, I think you should free the small demon before something else worse happens."

I heard the ogre suggest. He was right.

"Oh, nonsense! There's nothing this child can do in such an age!"

I frowned.

"Green leader, she killed Jericho in two bare hands when he tried to put chains on her." The ogre added.

The leader took a moment to comprehend everything when she saw the decapitated corpse by the side.

Humming. I could only think of one thing that she's thinking of. She's choosing here.

But there are no choices at all.

"No..." She finally answered.

I grabbed her by the chin and pulled her close to my face.

"It's either you or everyone here. Now let him go." I said.

She still wore a smug look when she declined me.

I swear I'm killing her for good.

"Green leader, she's not just a demon." I heard the ogre talk.

"Oh, then what are they?" The leader wondered.

"I'm the devil's daughter." I answered.

There was a moment of silence before she suddenly began scurrying to take the leash off of King.

...

I watched King shove food in his mouth.

We went back to the human world and I ordered fast food for him when I got a hold of our phone.

He just continued eating to satisfy his hunger.

And after a while, he was finally satisfied.

"Now are you gonna tell me why you went to the tunnels?" I asked.

"I didn't, they came out of nowhere and grabbed me."

"Oh... I see... Well, it's good to know you're alive and still well."

I sighed in relief.
