PROLOGUE

I stumbled on the ground, keeping my balance as I ran for my life. I can barely feel my feet since I've been running for a while in the woods. I heard the clamoring sound of those horrendous demons from behind that made my knees powerless.

There are lots of demons that are chasing after me. They even hurt me. I'm nothing compared to them. They can slaughter me. 

My heart starts throbbing three times faster against my ribcage. And I felt short of breath. I need to halt and take a deep breath.  But whenever  I listen to that uproarious shrieking clamor of horrendous sound, my mind warns me not to stop.

Something sharp Pierce the arch of my foot making me yelp in pain. But still, I didn't stop running.

I can feel the wetness beneath my foot. And it's hurting. Ignoring my pain I kept running but suddenly I tripped over a branch and fell to the ground hard, hurting my elbow as well. Suddenly I felt someone's presence. Courageously I lifted my gaze and my heart stopped seeing the hideous face of that creature. Big two horns on the head, disgusting yellow teeth, glowing yellow eyes. Fear makes my heart flip. I felt my body freezing making me paralyzed. I saw black dots dancing in front of my vision.

And suddenly I saw darkness engulf me in its embrace.

I heard some commotion around me that forced me to open my eyes. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself tie-up with big heavy chains. Two were clutching my hands and one around my neck.

There were some words written on that chain that was glowing brightly.

I looked up and roamed my gaze throughout the place and found those demons standing over there with a man clothed in a black long coat. His face was not visible as his back was facing me. 

"She's awake, my Lord." One of the demons informs him and he spins in my direction.

"Glad to see you again, Little Hybrid." He spoke with a cocky smirk.

But I countered him with a deadly glare.

That turned out to be a great mistake. In a blink of an eye, I found him an inch away from me. And in no time I found myself in the air. He holds me up by my neck making me choke to the death.

"Don't you dare to glare at me? Moreover, don't forget that I can easily end you." He laughs humorously letting me go.

I gasp for air to breathe. My eyes turned bloodshot red and I felt dizzy. 

He pounced on my face, cutting my cheek.

I felt my whole body getting numb, and my eyes closing.

He clutched my jaw in his hard palm so tightly that it felt like breaking. Then left me with a jerk.

"RELEASE ME," I screamed with all the strength that was left in me. 

"Of course. I'll grant your wish." The moment his words finished I felt something sharp piercing through my stomach making me scream in agony.
