Sin, The Blood King

Running through a dark forest, my location unknown... I seem to be running from something. Sweat running down my face, struggling to catch up with my breath I turn to look at my dark surroundings only being able to see the trees as I run past them, running blindly. Suddenly I run into what seems to be a dark wall, it sends me falling back onto my butt making a loud thud sound. The look of confusion fills my face as I look up at this wall I have run into. As I look up I see this pair of red glowing eyes looking right back down at me, my eyes adjust as I can now see that I didn’t run into a wall... it was a man, very firm & not only well-built man but he is very tall, so tall that he towers over me.. the sight of his eyes terrifies me... my heart is beating so hard in my chest it hurts. He seems to be studying me before he steps into my vision, kneeling down in front of me, he offers me his hand as if to help me. I eyeball his hand; it has a lot of blood all over it. I swallow hard and look into his glowing red eyes... his handsome features hit me as a surprise as he smiles a small smile realizing that I am afraid of him he begins to speak to me softly, his voice deep but calm “Don’t be afraid little thing, allow me to help you.”

Biting my lip, I slide my hand into his, he lightly pulls me to my feet and looks over my face before he speaks softly to me again, his voice full of concern “You appear to be in distress, what were you running from at such an hour little thing?” As he asks me this. I look down before I look around at all of my surroundings before responding to him “I don’t quite remember; All I remember is that I needed to get away...”. I drift off into thought trying to remember but then all of a sudden, I feel the back of his hand lightly placed against my forehead. He looks me in my eyes appearing to be worried “You are running a fever & you seem to have no memories before this... You’re coming with me.” Before I could object or say anything in response suddenly, I am lifted off my feet and being carried bridal style... I look at his face as he stares at the path ahead, he decides to take, I can see a sudden softness in his strong yet handsome features as he walks on deeper into this unknown forest. Resting my head on this man’s shoulder, thinking to myself “his eyes glow red…he definitely isn’t a human ... where could he be taking me and why is he being so nice to me after I was so careless and ran into him?” before I know it, I have drifted off to sleep in this man’s arms.

In the morning I wake up in darkness, not knowing where I am, I sit up. A huge and heavy fur blanket falling down to my side... I feel a warm hand touch my hand and I look and there he is again, the strange man... I relax a little as I remember I dozed off in his arms... I look into his glowing red eyes and speak softly “What is my savior’s name?” ... His lips form a small smile as he pulls his hand away standing up from where he sat next to me in a small wooden stool, he responds while looking down at me “I am no savior but you can call me Sin” He leans toward me and forces me to lay back down, I abide and lay back.. letting him cover me back up he then sits back down in his stool as he continues speaking. “You don’t owe me a thing”. I close my eyes as I am relaxed and answer in a sort of whisper “well Thank you ah… Sin… where are we?”. As he watches me, his gaze intense I can tell he is in heavy thought about something before he speaks to me slowly and steady “You are in a small room next to my dungeon, this is where you will live until you are fit enough to leave this place.” Without another word he silently gets up and leaves me in this dark room alone, I turn onto my side and sigh lightly as I stare ahead at this fancy looking window which appears to be open and the curtains around the window is flowing and blowing around lightly, allowing some fresh air into the room... I think to myself for a brief moment “Dungeon? Just who is this man?” … I doze off shortly after.

As I wake up the next day, someone is so close to me their nose is barely touching mine... I sit up and the women slowly backs away from me. The room lit up by sunlight from the windows fancy curtains being tied back... I rub my eyes as she eyeballs me intensely... she begins to speak in this annoying high pitch ratty voice “Just who do you think you are? Coming about and getting all of his majesty’s attention?? You think a common human like yourself can just come in and sleep all day? Get up and put on those clothes, you are not special. You will work and earn all of this.” She tosses a raggedy light tan looking dress that has dirt stains all over it in my face, it lands in my hands and I look it over... I blink my eyes at it then look at her as I begin to speak “I don’t know who you are referring to, but this dress is dirty, and my friend suggested I rest…”. She is appalled at my response and scrunches her face up as she begins to yell “You will wear what I give you! Rest? Ha! You aren’t royalty. Looks like you’ll have to be whipped into shape!” She snaps a whip at the floor that appears out of nowhere with a mesmerizing glow that emanates from its core and as she begins slashing away at me, I am struck with sudden and incredible pain... I scream and I hold my hands up to cover my face... as if he could sense what is going on, I hear someone burst into the room and suddenly the whooping has stopped. I peek around my arms and Sin has the girl pinned against the wall by her neck, giving her an intense glare and the girl seems to be trembling under his grip... she whimpers at him and in a low tone she says “ma-majesty……. what’re you…. You told me to take care of this girl…” I can feel this intense aura flowing from him... he is in some sort of uniform that has gold encrypted lettering all around it with his torso out and showing off all his muscles that are inhumanly huge that seem to bulge the more tense he is... he lets off a small growl before he looks in my direction.. he studies my face then drops her... she falls to the floor gasping for air. He walks over to me... grabbing a towel from beside my bed he sits beside me and touches my arm that is wet with my blood. he uses his other hand to wipe my arms with the towel... I watch him as he notices some of my blood is on his hand, he stops what he’s doing and smells his own hand... he then looks at me slowly licking some of the blood off his hand... his eyes widen as he looks me in my eyes as if realizing something, he finally speaks to me “I know who you are…” I look at him confused then he looks down at my arms that have already healed, the girl must’ve seen me heal because she gasped and is now standing there with her hand over her mouth. she squeals “Just how can a human heal like that! She can’t… no... is she some kind of spy??!” I hear Sin growl and look in her direction before speaking to her in a low tone “We could continue where we left off.” With one last look at me she runs out of the room and shuts the door. Sin wipes the rest of the blood from my arms in silence and as he finishes, he gets up and heads into what seems to be a walk-in closet. he comes back to me with a tiny black dress and lays it beside me, he looks down at me as I look the dress over. His voice soft, deep and sweet as he speaks “We’re going for a small walk, get dressed Ayane... I’ll wait outside this door.” The name he calls me sounds familiar, as he walks outside of the room I slowly get up and look my arms over. whispering to myself “I healed so fast. Wow...” I take off the ragged clothing I came in and slide on the small black dress he gave me, form fitting I look down at it and smile lightly. I almost leave barefoot but then there are some black fluffy slippers by the door, I slide my feet into them and to my surprise they’re just my size. When I open the door, his huge back is to me and when he turns to see me, he holds his hand out to me... I already know this gesture of his so I slide my hand in his and follow him through this huge well designed palace and it’s blinding white hallways, he leads me out into what seems to be a garden and we slowly make our way down a path as he looks over at me, observing my reactions to this scenery he smiles a small smile I hear him begin to speak, startling me a little. “You, little thing are a sight to behold.” I realize my hand is still in his as we walk and I pull it out of his, smiling and looking down at my feet as we walk. I respond “You said you know who I am... You called me Ayane...” He nods in response and looks ahead of us, speaking softly “Yes, Ayane is your name” I look over at him confused but yet eager to know more about myself, he sees my face and sighs as he begins to speak again. “Ayane as you know you are not human... You are in fact a demon and you have that of royal blood, in fact that blood is so rare you’re actually the last of your kind and superior to just about every being…...but me” He stops walking suddenly and I stop as well looking him in his eyes even more confused. I cross my arms and walk down the path by myself and before I can drift off into thought I hear him say “Ayane, you are my Queen.”
