As I walk up these steps, all I can think about is how could I be defeated so easily??? By a human no less!
No...
wait!
He said he was something demonic. Did he mean a demon? I thought to myself. What's worse is I let him have his way with me. How could I give in to such a perverse urge?
I failed my first mission that Lord Argus tasked me with. I was supposed to be his best warrior. And I utterly failed.
The sun was barely peeking through the horizon and my exposed skin started to burn. I quickly ran up the remaining flight of stairs and headed into the mansion.
Once there I was greeted by my fellow house members. Adrian, one of the bravest and most loyal members met me by the door.
"How did it go?"
I could do nothing but look down to the ground in shame. I muttered, "I have failed."
Adrian then asked, "what happened to your clothing?"
"I'd rather not say."
As I walked past my fellow members and climbed up the stairs, my thoughts turned to him. Those dimly lit red eyes. What was he? Could he really be a demon? If so, why did he show me mercy? At the top of the stairs, Lucas, Lord Argus's body guard was waiting for me.
"The Lord wishes to speak to you regarding your mission."
In that moment my heart began to sink. How do I explain to him that his second in command Bruce was defeated and killed by a human? Would he believe me if I told him that the human was actually a demon? There was no avoiding it. Argus was going to find out about my failure sooner or later.
I followed Lucas to the main hall. There Argus was waiting for me. Argus stared at me with a cold steely gaze. He then looked at Lucas and said, "you may leave now."
"Yes my lord."
Then Argus's attention turned back to me. For about 30 seconds there was nothing but silence. I could do nothing but look back and wait.
"What of your mission Alisa?"
"I have failed you my lord. Bruce died at the hands of a Human and I was not able to take vengeance upon him."
Then there was silence once again. A moment later, Argus asked, "what of the human now?"
"Still alive and unscathed. He also knows of our existence."
"And what of Bruce's body?"
" Ash," I replied.
"And what of your original clothing?"
I thought to myself, must i answer that question? I was too embarrassed to respond with what had actually happened. All I could do is look down in shame.
"So he had his way with you, in exchange for your life,right?"
My face turned beet-red. It was too embarrassing. Then in a thunderous roar, Argus yelled,"FAILURE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!"
My heart stopped in fear.
" That human knows of our existence and has already killed my brother as a result!?!"
I could not move. I was shuddering in fear.
"Tell me Alisa, how could a mere human simply overpower a vampire?" Argus asked.
