Chapter 60. A Mighty Hold

Hunnie's p.o.v







"Kris?



Kris?



Please talk to me."



My heart broke in two as Kris sobbed in the fetal position on the bench. He was so torn. It's unfair, he shouldn't have to go through so much, but I do need him right now.






"It can't be.

It can't be!

No, It can't be true."



Kris cries hysterically, choking and having difficulty breathing as I rub his back for comfort.




"Kris, please calm down. Everything will be fine. I'm here."



He bawls even louder, hurt and miserable croaks leaving his throat.

What if that Demon was lying, saying anything to take control of Bahm?





Is his poor soul really suffering because Kris might be his long-lost son? One that was born 1500 years ago?




"Kris, please be quiet." I whimpered, wrapping my arms around his body. I couldn't stand seeing him this way and was beyond scared.




"I-I can-can't, Hunnie.

It-It h-hurts, so bad!"





He places his head on my lap, and I wipe the snot and tears off his face.
Banging and much thumping is then heard above our heads.





"Are they close?" I shouted, placing Kris' head back on the bench and walking up to the door, pressing my ears against the cold steel.



"You, you re-re-member the spell, r-right?" Kris stutters and sniffles before I turn around to face him.

He was sitting up with his hair cascading down his face, and after nodding my head, he took his shirt off, handing it to me.



"Put this on and tie your robe tightly," he says, popping his head out the door. Once I took my robe off and put the shirt on, it came down over my bump and a little above my knees. At least if my robe opened, I wouldn't be exposed anymore!






"They're coming," Kris says. "But, it sounds like a hell of a fight. Stay behind me and get ready."





He motions for me to follow him outside the door just as a loud commotion of growls and swords is heard tumbling through the dungeon ahead of us. The closer the noise got, the more I wanted to urinate and vomit on myself. Is this really happening?



I sighed, not ready to face what was coming down this way.

I would have to protect Kris and myself with my dark acidic barrier.






"HUNNIE!!!!"






My name is heard approaching rather quickly when Kris steps foot in front of me.



"PUSH!!"





We hear Leolo's strong accent yell out, and then we see three soldiers walking into the room with long silver spears in their hands. Then the sound of a sinister growl fills the room before I notice the three men were holding a spear to the back of the Demon as they were coming through.





I gasped as I eyed a man struggling in the hand of the creature, dangling in the air and suffocating under the hold of his neck. Another posse of soldiers swarmed the front of the Demon's body with their weapons piercing right through.





"KEEP PUSHING!!"

Leolo yells again, but the Demon roars and swipes his free long devil arm when Leolo's men jump back, and the Demon pulls out one of the swords in his stomach.





"Use your magic Hunnie. Can you also hold him against that wall there?" Kris's voice fills my ears, and right away, I flick my wrists, and the beast flies onto the wall in the middle of the room. The swords all break off, and the one guard in his hands is finally set free.



The men all gasped, quickly picked up the swords, and pierced the creature's arms and legs into the wall, wedging the blade between the stones.
The demon warding barrier summons effortlessly as it sparkles purple around the enclosed circle they held the Demon in and then disappeared.





"YOU COCKROACHES!" It hisses.





"The energy should be draining him at any moment," I spoke to Kris, who stood in front of me.



All the guards ran out of the circle, and Leolo pressed a few more swords deeper into its stomach, revealing a nasty snarl in reaction.



Somewhat, it did pain me to see him being crucified on the wall as he just hunged there. He was still very terrifying to look at, but I knew behind him was Bahm.






"Oh, you little witch.

Bahm is gone!"





Suddenly the Demon spoke, lifting its head and snickering.



"QUIET DEMON!"

Leolo roars, rushing up to Kris and I. Kris was only staring at the Demon as though he was in some trance.





"Ahh...don't look at me with those disgusting eyes.

The prodigal, dirty, little bastard son.

Do you miss your lover?

He says a father's love started when you had his COCK, so far down your throat!"



"FUCK YOU!!"





Kris roars to the Demon's dirty words. Unable to hold his anger back, he was about ready to shift.

Leolo holds him in place once the Demon laughs manically and calls Kris more profane names. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Is there any way I can get Bahm out of there?





"YOU'RE GOING BACK TO HELL!"





"And, SO ARE YOU BITCH BOY!

The demons down there would love your insides!

You've become a toy already to your FATHER!"







My hands come over my mouth at the words flying out of this monster's mouth.
Kris entirely shifted in Leolo's arms, and more soldiers ran to his side to try and control his rage and to keep him from running into the circle.



How is this Demon still talking? His energy should have been drained already!





"LET ME KILL IT!" Kris hollers, digging his nails into Leolo's back.








"HURRY AND DO SO THEN BECAUSE WHEN I WAKE, YOUR HEART AND WOMAN ARE MINE!!!"

The Demon growls before I see Kris's body flying toward me. It happened so fast that I felt pain around my face and shoulder as I was wedged between something and the wall behind me.







My eyes flicked open through the pain, and all I could see was darkness, and sensed an awful scent around my nose. Whimpers vibrate through my face, and my hands come up to my face, feeling hair.





"OPEN, KRIS!

OPEN!!" I hear Leolo's voice below.



A scream tried to leave me, but I realized I couldn't even open my jaw or move.





"STAB THAT BASTARD'S THROAT!

NOW!!

THE KING WILL BE ALRIGHT

WE HAVE TO DO IT NOW!!"





Suddenly menacing growls and yells began to fade from my ears and my vision, and the pressure surrounding my face and shoulder was lifted, only leaving a throbbing and excruciating pain in both places.






"HUNNIE!

Hunnie, it's okay.

Stay awake.

I got you," Leolo whispers, and I feel him lifting me away from the noise in the dungeon.







"You'll be okay, you and your baby. I promise Kris didn't mean it. It wasn't him."





When I came to, rough hands massaged my forehead. Leolo's face came into my vision, and smacking my dry lips, I sat up quickly, looking around my surroundings.



"You're in momma Fei's chambers. You are safe."





"Bahm and Kris?"



"Behind bars in the dungeon."



"Both of them?"



"Yes."

I tilted my head in confusion.





"Why is Kris locked up?" I yelled, proceeding to climb off the soft fluffy bed until I saw momma Fei sitting at a desk across the way with over a dozen court maids and guard behind her.





"Kris attacked you, Hunnie. Your face was in his jaw, and even after Your Highness succumbed to the injuries on his neck that my men caused, Kris still wouldn't snap out of the fetal state, attacking my men, so we waited until you awoke to give orders."



The Demon made Kris attack me?


This was proving to be much more than I'd only imagined.

I know exactly what I have to do now!
