Chapter 5-Ryan

"What do you mean?" Ryan replied.

"You can't be demon spawn because you just killed a demon spawn, you cant be human because you just killed a demon spawn easily, who are you?" Fay demanded.

"My name is Ryan, my mother was Elizabeth Mason, I used to be an assassin, my title was the Reaper of Souls...my most recent job was to kill all of you...then i changed my mind two nights ago. Last night I was attacked by a patrol of Demon Spawn. That is why I had those black burns. The cuts were, from YOUR men."

The king turned to his knights and said, " Explain."

Ryan said, "No need...they did their job...they thought I was a threat it didn't help that I was mocking them when they couldn't hit me. Then one of them shot me with an arrow at my heart."

Fay eyed Ryan's chest.

"And yes it hit that burn mark Fay, that is why I almost died."

"How old are you son?" the king asked.

"As of yesterday I am 18 years old."

"My daughter here is 17."

"And?"

"I am entrusting her protection into your hands."

A man in heavy armor stepped up.

"But my lord..."

"Blake you have done a great job as her protector...step down..."

"I am honored King Joeseph but how do you know you can trust me?"

"I DON'T trust you...Fay DOES."

Ryan looked at Fay.Her eyes were looking at her feet her face was red.

"Fay do you not trust me?" Blake asked.

Fay looked away.

"Hey look I will take care of her...Blake was it?"

Blake looked and Ryan with such hatred.

"Dont address me like that scum, I don't trust you, we just met you today...how do we know you won't betray us?"

"Because you would know if I was lying wouldn't you Fay?" Ryan said looking at Fay.

Fay looked up at Ryan and said, "He isn't lying."

"Why are you so hasty to protect someone you just met?" Blake demanded.

"Because maybe then I will learn from my mistakes and make better choices."

Blake turned and stormed off.

"Thank you son...I am sorry for the un-neccasary torture." the King bowed.

"OH NO we MUST do it again sometime."

Bewildered the King and his gaurd left the room.

It was just Fay and Ryan now. Fay walked up to Ryan and hugged him. "Thank you..."

"I couldn't just let the demon take advantage of you...you need to find the right person for that...like..." Ryan stopped mid wink.

"Yes?" Fay looked up mischeviously.

Ryan blushed.

"NOTHING!"

"Hehe sure."

R:She didn't slap me this time.

F:I can read your mind silly!

Fay looked up and slapped him.

"OW!"

R:SORRY!

F:Don't worry no one has to know what you were thinking except for me.

R:I'm not sure if that is a good thing.

F:I guess we will find out.

Ryan sighed and walked out of the room with Fay following him. They walked down the stairs and out into the courtyard. Seeing the well Ryan strode to the edge of it and drank out of it. Fay did too.

Fay kept trying to make eye contact with him. Ryan eventually did and she blushed and so did he. But Ryan's face went a deep red. Fay laughed so loud that the surrounding gaurds could hear. They chuckled when they saw Ryan's face.

Ryan didn't know what it was but something made him look up. He managed to see it just in time. He stood in front of a confused Fay and grabbed an arrow out of the air.

He looked past it to see something. He couldn't believe his eyes. Ryan ran to the ladder on the wall. He clambered up the ladder and looked into the fields. He saw them. An army of Demon Spawn.

They found me!
