Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Death Becomes Her ❯ Daemonicus ( Chapter 4 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I'm so sorry for taking forever to write these chapters but if I get more reviews and if people like what they're reading, I'll try posting them up faster!




Complete darkness enveloped the room as a young woman lies unconscious on the stoned surface. The ceiling is overwhelmingly occupied with piercing stalactites, which enhances the gloomy atmosphere. The only light available enters from the open window situated on the grand summit of two stories tall. Light, transparent snowflakes begin their descent into the room. The artistic ice structures float gently onto Relena's delicate rosy cheeks.

"Uhh … " Relena moaned underneath her breath as she slowly gained consciousness.

While rubbing the sleep away from her sapphire eyes, she muttered, "Where am I? What is this place Why is it so dark?"

The questions continue to pound her thoughts as she attempted to stand up. She glanced around the ongoing cave she found herself in and tried to adapt to the darkness of the room. Relena didn't know what happened to her and she intended to find out. Unfortunately, everything didn't add up right and she gradually drowned her thoughts in despair. The last thing she recalled was being in her room and then … nothing. Why couldn't she remember?

Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. They sounded distant, yet they seemed too close for comfort. Before she had the opportunity to turn around, she felt ice cold fingers grab her shoulders, which froze the foreign minister in her place. Fear overpowered her as she tried to free herself from the gentle, yet forcing hands. How she wanted to get away from the grip of the unknown individual behind her.

"Don't be afraid Relena," echoed the voice, "I am here to protect you."

"Protect me? I don't even know who you are. State your name." Relena demanded as she slowly gained her strength to think.

Moments later, the hands were removed from her side and the individual circled his way around her and then turned to face her with a determined stare. This man standing in front of her seemed … strange. Was he even a man? He stood towering over her at least three inches and he wore a visage of loneliness and desolation. His hair colored with dark blue shades of the ocean and his features were undoubtedly charming and handsome. The completely odd fixation about him was these wing-like structures that sprouted from his back. Yes, they were wings, only without the feathers, which offered the frightening appearance of bat wings. They overpowered every aspect of his body and hers. Such an odd item to own. And his skin, tanned with such a toned texture in which left his body shining brightly from the light in the ceiling. Those cold, piercing eyes, were a deep shade of red, and that which caught Relena's attention most of all. They reminded her of blood and death. By the looks of it, he wasn't human and she couldn't stop staring at the stranger.

"So you like what you see eh princess?" chuckled the man as he noticed Relena's ongoing stare.

She quickly turned away and blushed by his comment. Then she regained her composure and exclaimed, "I asked you for your name sir."

"Tsk tsk Relena. Always the impatient one. You will discover all the answers that you seek but first, you need to be cleaned up." The stranger announced. A few seconds later, he raised an arm into the air as if to summon the gods to change the world and two young men approached them as if there were secret doors in which they came from.

"Soren and Daenon, please take Miss Relena to her quarters and have her dressed for tonight's little … celebration." He said to the men with a smirk. After hearing their orders, they bowed and turned their attention to Relena. The one called Soren directed a hand for her to follow but she didn't move.

"I am not going anywhere until I know where I am. Please, I need answers. What the hell is going on here?" Relena exclaimed, slowly raising her voice after each word. Then she realized that her breathing became erratic and irregular. She knew that she needed to calm down but she couldn't.

The man sighed and directly looked into Relena's gaze. "Alright, I can see a frantic woman when I see one. My name is Daemonicus and I am the moon demon. You are in my home, in my dimension of freedom and pleasure." He confidently said as he waved both arms around. "I have invited you to remain here with me. Welcome to my kingdom."

Relena closed her eyes as she tried to consume all that he had said. Then she opened her eyes and stared around the room with nervous stricken eyes. Liquid droplets began to form in her eyes but she refused to let a single tear fall. "My god," she began. "I'm dead aren't I?"

"On the contrary my dear, you are quite alive. You're simply in another world." Daemonicus replied. "But not to fear, nothing will endanger you as long as I'm in control."

"That's a relief," she whispered sarcastically beneath her breath.

"If you'll please Miss Relena," the one called Soren said as he directed his hand once again toward an opening in the wall.

"I have a feeling that I have no choice but to obey what you command. Am I a prisoner here?" Relena questioned before following Soren.

"My dear, you are no prisoner nor are you forced to stay. I am simply offering you something in which many humans would dream of, but I'm giving it all to you, Relena."

"Hmmm… very well. I will trust you Daemonicus." Relena said as she walked toward the path of the leading light with Soren behind her and Daenon following them.

Shortly after Relena's departure from the main room of his mansion, he closed his eyes and started laughing. The pitch of the laughter grew louder and more cynical. His laughter grew so furious that even the walls creaked from fright.

"I have you now my dear Relena," he thought as he exited the scene with delight.
