(Dont play the song yet)

~Thomison's (Tom's) pov~

"Hurry! Before it's too late!" I messed up. I messed up bad! I didn't know she'd run away after our fight... This is all my fault. I should have listened. Now she's in the grasp of the Demon Prince.

earlier that day.

"Why dont you listen to me, Thomison?" The wolf-goat sorceress asked with a slight tone of annoyance. No one used my real name unless they were serious or wanted my attention.

"Because." I replied to her. She was starting to get on my last nerve. We were lost in the Greenvash Forest and we took a wrong turn trying to find the inn that was supposedly nearby.

"That's not a good excuse! If you had just listened to me, and taken the left at the waterfall, we would probably be at the inn and--"

"Ryla, Shut up!" I yelled. She gasped and went silent, looking at the ground in shame. I scowl and turn my back to her and the rest of the members in our group.

Matthias, Angel, Luna and Edward were aslo members of our group. Matthias was a tall, ginger haired man who wore a purple shirt and an emerald green Cape. It seemed a little odd to me, but I wasn't going to give the narcissist fashion advise. Angel and Luna were a team of thieves. They helped us steal supplies from enemy camps. They are also very skilled fighters when it comes to combat. Edward was a fawn, meaning that he was half deer from the hips down. He was very kind and knew his way around a forest. He could tell you how to find medicinal herbs and pretty much our doctor. Then there's Ryla. She's the Wolf-goat sorceress. She is very shy, but isn't afraid to voice her opinion sometimes. And honestly, ever since I met her, I started having feelings for her.

But tonight, I just couldn't deal with anyone's complaining.

A few hours later

We finally found the inn. Me, Matthias, Luna and Angel were getting ready to go to sleep when I realised that Ryla was missing. I looked out the window, and sure enough, I saw Ryla sitting on a tree stump, looking at the ground. She still must think that in upset with her or something. Why did I yell at her? I know how fragile she is and yet I have to break her down...

I sigh and grab my sword and make my way outside. But as get closer to where Ryla is, I hear two voices talking with one another. I round the corner of the inn and I stop dead in my tracks. Ryla was talking with The Demon Prince.

I felt my rage burn at the sight. I draw my sword out and charge the demon with a battle cry.

~Ryla's (Riley's) pov~

"Why dont you come with me?~ I can treat you so much better than Thomison ever will. I can give you Respect, Honor, love... and all I ask is that you give me the Incantation of Souls. Is that too much to ask?" Torathan, the Demon Prince, says to me.

"I have already told you that I will never give the incantation to you. Now, I'd like  to be alone." I reply. Torathan just smiles and crouches down to my level.

"So polite, so passive. I like those qualities in a girl~" He says as he moves a strand on my hair out of my face. I turn my head so I dont have to look at him directly.

"I... I dont like it when you speak to me that way..." I said shyly. I earned a low chuckle from Torathan. Making me shiver on fear. He stood up  but still faced me.

"All you have to do is summon me, and I'll be there for you. Just as long as you dont waste my time." He said that last part with a hint on venom.

I was about to reply when the sound of running footsteps and an angered yell came from behind me. I quickly look behind me and see Thomison charge at Torathan with his sword drawn. Thomison raised his sword and tried to land a blow on the demon. Torathan spread his wings and dissapeared in a puff of red smoke. Andter a few moments of Thomison just standing there, he looked at me, marched up to me and grabbed me roughly by the front of my shirt.

"Why were you with him?!" He demanded.

"I-I-I didn't do anything! I just-- "

" 'You just' what?! You were talking with the Demon Prince! The very being that you swore, along with the rest of us, to destroy!" He yelled as he interrupted me.

"Thomison, I--"

"No, you need to find where your loyalty lies. With your friends, or that spawn of Satan."

He's yelling at me, he's interrupted me, and now he was accusing me of siding with Torathan? This was the final straw. I push him off of me and glare at him

"This is exacty what I'm talking about! You dont listen to me! If you'd actually listen for once, you'd know that Torathan was trying to seduce me in to giving him the incantation, but I refused him!" I say with anger lacing every part of my voice. Thomison just stared at me, well more like glared, and put his sword away.

"Get inside. Now." He ordered.

"No." I say flatly.

"What?"

"I am not going to stay in the same inn with a man who thinks he can order me around like Livestock. I am a person too, Tom. I though you would understand... I thought I could trust you. But I guess I can't." Thomison went silent for a few moments.

"I can say the same thing to you. How can I trust a hybrid witch." He replied. I gasp quietly and my eyes go wide. I turn away from him and take off my glasses so they dont get stained with my tears.

"Come inside when your ready to rejoin the team." He says before he walks away... 'when I'm ready to rejoin the team'.

He's outlasted me from the group... I'm not good enough for the team... I'm not good enough for anyone...

I think to myself as a few tears roll down my face and fall onto my lap.

Present time

I sit in the demons lap in a clearing in the forest. He wrapped his arms around my belly and pulled me into his chest so that he was spooning me. He rested his head on top of mine and purred.

(ignore the Tordedd)

"Whenever your ready to sing that spell of yours~"

I sigh and take a deep breath...

(Play song now)

"Wither and Decay. End this destiny. Break these earthly chains, and set the spirit free. Take what has been hurt. Grant them no mercy. Bend and break the reigns, and set the spirit free... The spirited f-"

"RYLA STOP!"
