The Demon's Bride

Chapter 569: Angel Of Blood-I

Little Elise was torn on what to do but she knew she should follow her mother's words but she was scared the girls would get lost in the forest. Thus the little girl begin to find the middle ground and she realized she could use her sharp hearing sense where the girls have gone to.

It was her first time and although with her enormous ability she posses, at the time, Elise was still a small and young girl that trying to pinpoint the sound of the girls' voice was a difficult task for her but she managed to complete what she wished to do and was finally able to hear the girls' voice.

Elise expected only to know if the girls' were alright as her guts were telling her they shouldn't have gone away from the house. unexpectedly, Elise's choice to hear the girls' conversation was right in time when Matilda screamed on to of her lungs.

"No!!! Help me, please help me!" The screams of the girl shocked Elise.

Being one girl who possessed a kind heart who would help anyone at anytime needed, Elise was also concerned for the girl. Therefore she ran by her foot to follow the girls' voice. It was at that time when she saw Matilda on the ground covered with blood.

A man was standing right in front of Matilda who was on the ground unconscious and little Elise didn't know if her friend wasn't only sleeping or perhaps...

"Stop!" Elise yelled when the man came near toward where Matilda was standing at. She watched the man slowly turning his face and when Elise met the red eyes and wide grin of the demon in front of her, both fear and worries came over her eyes.

"How lucky I am today to be able to get three food at the same time," chuckled the man. "Scared little girl? But don't worry it will be over soon... I promise you I will let you see your friends again... In Hell that is!" And the man's laughter boomed on the entire forest where Matilda and Miranda had taken path of.

Little Elise shook her head and she continue to maintain the distance between her and the man as much as she could only until her hope shattered when her small back hit the tree's bark and she realized there was no more distance between her and the man.

"Don't come near me!" Elise yelled and when the man's hand reached out for her, Elise shut her eyes and from her a burst of bright light beamed and spread, causing the entire forest to be filled with the bright light before it disappeared all at the same time.

Adelaide who was inside Mrs. Nellie's house had just finished attending the elder woman's husband who suffered a terrible fall when she felt chills coming down her spine. Without a word, she quickly run out of the forest seeing how the light that appeared began to diminish.

When night came to the village, Elise was sleeping on her bed, her cheeks were burning in red color as she suffered from a terrible fever.

"It was a demon," Adelaide started while squeezing her arms together. "The demon from Hell who came to hunt for those two girls. Elise seemed to have heard their cries and came there. What should we do, Levi? We cannot stay here any longer," Adelaide said in worry. "I don't worry about the humans. I worry more about the demons and angels who have sensed her outbreak of power."

"I know," Leviahan held his wife's hands, "I know, Adelaide. We should pack our things at once and you should leave to a new village."

Adelaide agreed with the idea but hearing how Leviathan didn't input himself on the plan, she held his hand, "What about you?"

"I will have to erase the memories of one of the two girls. While the other one unfortunately die, the second one seemed to remember about the incident..." Leviathan knew just how powerful his daughter was. Even in her current age, she might have surpassed the high demons around her if measured only by raw power.

He could tell that if Elise train like he did when he was still living in Hell, she could be the strongest demoness. But Leviathan didn't want that to occur. It wasn't that he didn't want Elise to be stronger but he wished for his only daughter to spent a life like other normal children, the children who doesn't posses the burden of sharing blood with the King of Hell and an archangel. action

Elise could hear her parent's voice and she reached out her hands to her mother with tears dribbling down her eyes. "Mother... have I've been a bad girl?"

While Elise was in fever she couldn't comprehend well the conversation which her mother and father had but seeing them in distress, the girl worried that she had caused the problem.

"No, no my dear, you are a good girl. A very good girl," Adelaide pulled her to her hands and Leviathan came right next to them and reached out his hand to cover his wife's shoulder while his other hand brushing Elise's head.

"It will be alright Elise. You didn't do anything bad now go to sleep," Leviathan whispered a simple spell to put her daughter into sleep and he shut his eyes wondering if by moving village will truly solve their problem.

Back in the present, Elise who heard about her first power outbreak was surprised as she had no recollection of the incident that had happened to her. "Where did we moved to?"

A look of regret came on Leviathan's face which was clear to her eyes and he said, "Village of Saltige. The reason why I have locked your memories away, Elise. It wasn't for anyone else but you. Having an enormous power doesn't mean you are strong. There are just some power you are born with but is unable to control them. That was the case for you."

"But I don't understand. Why did you lock my memories away?"

"Because your power break out again for the second time when I wasn't there with you... I didn't have a choice."
