Saved By The Demon
In the smoldering ruins of Acacia, Lora Weston, a young woman who lost everything, awakens to a new, terrifying reality. Rescued from the brink of death by a mysterious, powerful being, she finds herself thrust into a lavish yet unsettling kingdom ruled by a 'Demon.' As she navigates this opulent prison, the truth about her savior begins to unravel, revealing a destiny far more entangled than she could ever imagine. Will Lora accept the dark identity of the one who saved her, or will she fight for a past that no longer exists?The scent of charred wood and ash still clung to the air, a phantom reminder of the inferno that had consumed Acacia. My eyes, still blurry from tears and the impact, fluttered open. A vast, opulent ceiling, adorned with intricate gold patterns, greeted me. It was nothing like the simple wooden beams of my childhood home. A soft, unfamiliar bed cradled my body, its silk sheets a stark contrast to the rough cotton I was used to.
A gentle hum filled the air, a sound I couldn't place. Sunlight, muted by heavy, luxurious curtains, painted stripes across the polished floor. My bandaged ankle throbbed, a dull ache that was a small testament to the miracle of being alive. But the miracle felt more like a terrifying displacement.
Memories, sharp and agonizing, flickered: Tina's desperate cries, the roaring flames, the desperate, futile run. I closed my eyes, trying to push them away, but the images were seared into my mind. I was alive, yes, but at what cost? And where, in the name of all that was holy, was I?
