"Obviously, " Derila mocked Daemon openly. "I can come and go as I please. The security system in your place is sh_t."
"Why you little…"
"Did you level them up though?" Derila demanded. "What is up with all these infrared sensors? And this pool filled with crocodiles? What if I slip and fall into it? They could have eaten me!"
"Hey, I thought you're the Queen of Beasts, " Zayn piped up.
"If they're on the land, yeah. Not aquatic creatures." Derila shot him a nasty glare and patted her clothes angrily. "Godda_mit. Now my clothes are soiled. Ew, they smell."
"And that's why I leveled up the security system and added the beasts you're scared of. So you won't trash the place." Daemon was delighted to see her looking so messy, and he even grinned mischievously. "Now you have nowhere to run."
He gave his command, and a few female bodyguards surrounded Derila.
"Don't you even dare!" Derila growled ferally. She was about to give the bodyguards a piece of her mind, but instead, they pinned her down and took her backpack away.
"Hey, that's mine! Give it back to me!" Derila tried to snatch her backpack back, but the bodyguards were already leaving with it.
"Let's see if you can pull any tricks without that backpack of yours, Dora." Daemon sneered, and he inched closer toward Derila.
"Why you little…" Derila gnashed her teeth in fury. The Art of War at it again. Know your enemy and yourself, and you won't lose any battle. I've been at odds with this idiot for years. Now he knows
everything I have up my sleeve. He knows I keep all my tools and meds in the backpack. I can't do anything without that.
She lost all the items she brought with her back at the crocodile pool. Even her snake was nowhere to be found. Now she was just a helpless girl who could do nothing against Daemon, but she refused to give up without a fight. She looked around, and to her delight, she noticed two panthers, a tiger, and two eagles in the courtyard.
She whistled to them, trying to wake them up so they could fight for her, but Daemon dashed that hope immediately. "Just give up. They're deaf. They can't hear you."
Daemon knew this would happen. He spent many nights coming up with the perfect plan to catch Derila, and he knew she had no way out once she walked right into his trap.
"Daemon, you b_stard!" Derila howled. Darn. Now I have no way out for real.
"Oh, I know that very well." Daemon yanked Derila's wrist and pinned her against the tree. "You're going nowhere until you heal me, " he hissed quietly.
"Ah, so that's why you wanted to capture me? Why didn't you say so?" Derila smirked at him, and the look in her eyes annoyed Daemon. She raised her voice, "I bet they still don't know that your condition is alread-"
"Shut up!" Daemon covered her mouth. He didn't want her to speak any further.
Derila wanted to shout, but all she could muster was a muffled whimper. She flailed her legs and tried to kick Daemon, so he picked her up and put her on his shoulder, then he spanked her.
"Daemon, you b_stard! You son of a b_tch! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Derila shrieked maniacally, and her voice broke.
Zayn was getting a migraine from all the shouting, so he quickly calmed them down, "Look, we don't have to be so rude about this."
"Mind your own business!" Daemon growled. "Harrison, see our guest out!"
"Yes, sir!" Harrison quickly sent Zayn out. "Mr. Giblo, I'll lead the way."
"Hey, wait, " Zayn said. "I brought her to you, so can I take Randy back with me?"
Zayn looked at Daemon.
Daemon gesticulated to Harrison, and Harrison quickly asked his men to take Randy here while he sent Zayn off.
"Zayn you b_stard! You'd better bust me out of here or you're dead!" Derila was starting to feel terrified, as Zayn was her only hope of escape. If he left, she'd truly be alone.
