Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDuchess)

Breathed softly when she was tucked into his body, she didn't mind it as long as she was safe from grabbing hands, she bit her lips softly and turned her head gently into his chest as they walked. She had her guard up the entire time feeling rather tense and alert, she stayed quiet watching the different demon men that looked at her then when she went further they went about their business, she turned her head and looked at him " never seen a female have they?" she asked and blinked slightly wanting the stares to go away.
 
Alexan loved the feel of Susan resting against him. He imagined what it would be like to snuggle with her but quickly nixed that thought. It wasn’t appropriate, nor likely to happen, he knew so no sense thinking about it. He looked at her when she spoke, falling into the depths of her eyes briefly. “No, many of them have not. The majority of our women died off decades ago. A lucky few survived the illness and are tucked away safely with their mates. Most demons don’t have the power to leave Zendac and find their own mate. Many of those that do go to alternate realities and dimensions to find them. I am the only one that has chosen to go to Earth.” He kept his arm around her, enjoying her warmth and the feel of her body touching his. He longed for more but again buried the thought. Soon they reached the High Council’s headquarters and entered. Demons were everywhere, coming and going. He steered them towards the back and they eventually left the crowd behind, entering a waiting area. He approached a desk with a Demon behind it. “Level 3 Demon named Alexan, seeking an audience with the Council” he said. The Demon acknowledged him, then stared at Susan for a bit until Alexan glared at him. Turning to Susan, he smiled. “Now we wait”.
 
She nodded and walked with him sitting down easily in a chair after pulling off her bag and filing through before finding her more recent sketchbook, she pulled a case out easily and popped it open gently before removing something small and black smaller than a pencil with a sharpened tip, she flipped open her book and delicately flipped through the pages before finding a blank one, she smiled and leaned back in the chair and crossed her legs at her knees before starting with a simple stroke and flick of her wrist, she got this look on her face that held a sort of calmness now and her eyes moved across the page as she worked quietly at first nobody but her knew what it would be before she drew the rough outlines and started to fill them in with gentle strokes and heavy strokes to create the different shadows and lights, it ended up being a certain kind of fish that she had back at her apartment called a beta, she had named him Trix and she could picture him clear in her mind swimming around with his fins flared showing off those beautiful colors but this was a black and white sketch so she did her best to mimic the certain colors, this was a simple thing to do... to draw a fish and she figured that she would do this while waiting.
 
Alexan began to pace immediately, nervous about their council visit. He was thinking about all the different ways this could go and he liked none of them. The best possible option was they agreed to allow him to return her to her home. This was the right thing to do but he would miss her. The worst scenario was the found him unworthy of her and not only kept her here but took her away. He doubted this would happen as it would set precedent but he had an enemy on the council so he was worried all the same. He noticed that Susan had pulled out her sketchbook and begun to draw. The look of utter calm that lay on her face had an effect on him also and he slowed his pacing, finally sitting down next to her. His eyes drifted to her legs and the way they crossed at her knees in a delicate manner and then he looked at her drawing. He began to see a fish emerge from the paper and he smiled, suddenly hungry. “That is a fish” he said, nodding to it. “Is that one good to eat?” Poor Alexan had no concept of fish as pets unfortunately.
 
Laughed and looked at him " no this is my pet fish Trix, he is a Beta.. this is just a black and white but he has vibrant colors or reds and teals and blues all merged in together" she smiled and stopped adding the detail to the head and looked at him " They are called chinese fighting fish, for the fact that they don't like other fish and quite literally kill them after one day, but put two together and its just a bloody mess, they are beautiful fish but very dangerous " she smiled at him and nodded before going back to her drawing ignoring the stares from the men in the room.
 
Alexan stared dumbfounded at her. “You have a pet fish that likes to kill other fish?” he asked, surprised . “But…that’s barbaric.” He laughed then, a light laugh that helped ease his nerves some. “I’m just joking of course. I suppose all species have their quirks.” He looked at the fish again, studying it. “I have one question though. If it hates other fish and kills them after one day, how does this Beta mate? Must he not court his lady like all males everywhere?” He thought for a second, then remembered something. “Oh, I have another question also. Why did you name him after an Earth cereal?” When Alexan first started visiting Earth, he wanted a way to learn about it and discovered TVs in department stores. He remembered the cereal commercial and was unable to get their jingle, Trix are for Kids, out of his head for days.
 
Let out a light laugh as to not draw anymore attention to her as was already stirred " hehe you honestly don't know how fish reproduce do you?" she leaned forward and whispered softly in his ear the workings of how fish reproduce " the females lay the eggs and the males come up behind them and fertilize them" she said and leaned back looking down at him " and as for the name i thought it was fitting since he is rather colorful and its better the bob don't you think?" she said smiled widely showing those beautiful white teeth of hers.
 
Alexan was distracted by the whisper of her breath against his ear as she taught him about the reproductive nature of fish. With a gasp, he pulled away. “Really?” he asked, dumbfounded. “That sounds positively boring. Mating should be passionate, steamy, and romantic. Someone needs to teach these fish how to do it properly.” He could barely hide the grin that wanted to spread across his face. He looked down at the picture of the Beta again. “Yes, he does not look like a Bob so you picked well. Is he crunchy like a Trix though?” He is momentarily dazzled by her smile.
 
Looked away for a moment and smiled " I wouldn't know you don't eat these kind of fish" she said and shook her head lightly before looking up seeing someone come out of the double doors looking around before coming over to them " Alexan..." she said looking at the man and folding her book up and placed her drawing stick back in its case and put everything back in her bag and staying seated waiting for what was going to happen next.
 
Alexan started to ask why you didn’t eat Beta’s when she said his name. Turning and following her gaze, he saw the Demon attendant enter the room. The attendant saw him and motioned. Alexan took Susan’s hand and pulled her to her feet. “Time for us to follow” he said, moving towards the attendant. Soon they were ushered into a huge chamber and brought before five Demons sitting on thrones. Alex took all of this in and knew the time had come. Turning to Susan, he put his mouth near her ear. “Don’t talk unless they address you. I know that might be hard but its how they work here and we don’t want to piss them off.” He smiled as he said that last part; he liked using Earth curse words occasionally. He pulled them forward and knelt down in front of the council members. “Oh Great Ones” he intoned, his voice a deep baritone that blasted off the walls. He tried to hide his laughter that was bubbling up inside – great ones his butt! – and hoped it stayed off his face. “I, Alexan of the 3rd Level, have come before you to ask a boon.”
 
Followed him after gathering her things and walking into the large room, she wasn't sure if she should bow or not she was a bit above bowing to anyone, she stood there and watched Alexan and listened to them before looking up at the council and scanning the different faces before noticing one staring back at her, she stared back for a moment before looking back to Alexan as he stood up to properly address them.
 
Alex faced the Council and noticed the attention that Susan was getting. He stifled a growl when he noticed it was his enemy that was staring. He reached out and took her hand without thinking about it and pulled her closer. Later, when he thought about it, it was a dumb thing to do as it showed weakness to the Council members but at the time, he just wanted her close. He cleared his throat, then spoke. “As you know, I petitioned the Council to find a mate abroad. It was granted. Yesterday I retrieved my chosen and brought her here against her will. I have thought about my actions and believe they were wrong. I am now petitioning the court to return her.” He squeezed her hand lightly.
 
Felt him pull her closer and squeeze her hand, she stood there and thought about this for a moment, he didn't want her to leave, but he was willing to go before the court to get her back because this is what she wished, she didn't know how this worked but she was pretty sure that if he wanted to act like he wanted her to go then he shouldn't of took her hand and pulled her close like he did, she pursed her lips and looked from the corrner of her eyes looking up to see that one still staring down at her, as if she were a piece of furniture he was thinking about buying for his living room, she didn't like that feeling and she squeezed his hand right back a bit harder trying to tell him that she didn't like this.
 
Alexan felt Susan squeeze his hand harder and he knew why. Feron, his enemy, was staring at her like he was undressing her in his mind. Alexan barely stopped a growl from leaving his lips as a protective need slammed over him. He stroked the palm of her hand softly to reassure her. “What say you?” he asked the Council when they didn’t immediately respond. One of the members stared at him, then spoke. “You know the laws, Alexan. Once brought here, none can return. You should have thought of that before you took her.” Alexan smiled, then nodded. “I did your Honor but in my haste to grab her, I did not think of her needs. She does not want to be here and she does not belong here. She needs to be returned. It is only safe. She has promised to keep the knowledge of Zendac safe in return for safe passage home. I can take her today with your permission.” Silence reigned after that, then Feron spoke. “You say you made a mistake Alexan yet you hold this mortal’s hand like you care for her and she holds yours in return. I think you lie. You do want her here but are too weak to force her to stay. By the rights of the Council, I challenge you to possession of this mortal.” Feron stared at Susan like he wanted to eat her. “Guards, seize her” Feron shouted. He turned to his fellow Council members. “I have issued Challenge. She is mine if I win.” The other members looked at Alexan, then Feron. “So it will be done” the said. Guards came forward immediately and ripped Susan from Alexan’s side. “No!” he shouted but to no avail. She was dragged off to the other side of the room and detained.
 
She gasped and looked around before the guards grabbed her roughly by the arms and jerked her away from him pulling her back and pushing her down to the floor she grunted and shifted slightly before looking towards Alexan and the man that challenged him, he didn't look to pleasant to be around, and she wasn't sure what this challenge was going to be, she sat and watched in fear of both her and him, if she had to stay she wanted to stay with him, him she knew a little bit at least and was kind enough to her , she breathed softly and only hoped for the best to befall upon him.
 
Alexan gasped as Susan was ripped away from him and dragged to the other side of the room. His heart was beating so fast he expected it to burst from his chest any minute. He saw her get forced to the ground hard and rage burned through him slowly. He met her eyes and saw her fear. He let that fear feed his rage more. Turning to Feron, he growled. “You have no right to do this” he spat out. Feron simply looked at him and grinned. “Oh, but I have every right Alexan. And I will win. I challenge you to blades and magic. A fight to the death.” Alexan’s eyes widened. Dual weaponry was rare but a fight to the death even rarer. In all his possible imaginations of this moment, this was not one of them. He looked over at Susan again and knew what had to happen. Turning back to Feron, he nodded. “To the death then. Winner keeps the mortal.” He looked back at Susan, his eyes trying to convey a message that said “Be safe. I will come for you.” He thought he might have sent another message too but he wasn’t sure. Hopefully she knew he cared for her. Turning back to Feron, he uttered a word and suddenly held a wicked looking blade. With a roar, transforming from a shy, likable demon into a spawn from Hell, Alexan charged Feron, blade swinging. A great clash sounded as their blades collided and Alexan was driven back. Feron attacked visciously and Alexan could do nothing but defend.
 
She breathed softly and had a pained look on her face while sitting there feeling helpless, she wanted to help and stop this but she was no match to ether of them, she didn't like this not one bit, she has never had anyone fight over her and she was scared for Alexans life maybe he could forget that she was there for the moment to watch himself and win to save his life, he shouldn't of worried about hers, and now thought that this wasn't the best thing to do but who could of predicted this, nobody could not even him, she then felt eyes on her and looked around before looking at a guard who was sniffing at her hair, she scooted away from him and gave him a dirty look before turning her eyes back to the fight.
 
Alexan retreated rapidly, dodging the blows that reigned down on him. Feron had always been the better swordsman but he would not lose. Twice Feron’s blade nicked him, drawing blood, which began to flow liberally. Alexan could feel himself weakening and began to use magic to assist him. With a thought, he teleported behind Feron, striking out with his sword, a sweeping gash opening up on his back. Feron turned and roared and the next thing he knew, Alexan was smashing in the wall, stone crumbling around him. He moaned softly and watched Feron approach him slowly. Alexan looked around and saw Susan on the other side and power surged through him. With a flick of his wrist, he sent Feron flying across the room, wiping out two Council members as he smashed into them. Alexan slowly rose to feet and watched Feron rise also, amazed that he was still on his feet. That both of them were for that matter. Feron began to chant and Alexan, realizing what was happening, began to run towards him. Before he reached him though, a great bolt of lightning lanced from Feron’s hands and crashed into his chest, sending him flying back again.

Smoke poured from the gaping wound in his chest and he cried out, crumbling to his knees. He felt his life force waning then and knew he was done. As he fell face forward onto the ground, his eyes met Susan’s across the room and rage boiled inside him. Feron would not have her. Would. Not. Have. Her. With a roar of agony and fear, Alexan lurched to his knees and with a spoken word sent his sword flying across the room where it skewered Feron in the center of his chest, pinning him to the wall. Feron’s eyes flew wide for a brief instant and then dimmed as he slumped over the sword, dead. Alexan slowly rose to his feet and placed his hand over his chest wound, staggering across the room to Susan. The guards backed away from him as he reached her, dropping to his knees, his hand stroking her cheek. “You are save my love” he whispered before turning to the Council, now only four. “I have won this Challenge. The mortal is mine.” And with a wave of his hand, he sent he and Susan back to his home.
 
Breathed softly and touched his arm before they teleported away from the council, when they appeared she moved her arms up and wrapped them around him holding him up in his weakened state she breathed softly and held him close to her before standing slowly " Alexan" she said softly and hoisted him up gently in her arm and moved him over to the couch and laid him down gently rubbing his head and gazing down at him " Are you alright?" she asked gazing down at him with sadden eyes hoping he was alright after all he did do all that for her.
 
Alexan was wounded badly but he somehow found the energy to teleport them to the safety of his home. When they appeared on the floor, he murmured to himself and felt the wards around his house flair to life. He normally didn’t use them during the day but he couldn’t be sure the Council wouldn’t come after him for killing Feron and he would be in no shape to fight again for some time. His magic flared again in panic as he felt arms wrap themselves around him but a whispered word let him know that Susan was holding him and he relaxed. He felt her move him to the couch and lay him down and he sighed. His eyes met hers and he saw the sadness in them a little piece of him breaking inside. He thought she was upset that she would not be able to go home. He reached out and lightly stroked her cheek. “I will be” he murmured, already beginning the healing magic that was needed for a full recovery.

He had been lucky today. If he hadn’t gotten a shield spell up in time, Feron’s bolt of lightning would have killed him instantly. He won only because Feron was too arrogant to use a shield himself. He looked at her again, this time his eyes reflecting sadness, and rested a hand on her arm. “And when I have recovered, I will take you home.” He knew it meant a death sentence for him, for disobeying a direct Council decree, but that was ok. He cared for her more deeply than he had originally thought, only realizing that while in battle with Feron. He would do anything to give her what she wanted, even signing his own death warrant.
 
Smiled and touched his cheek softly " Shhh Don't think about that right now, i am fine you just rest for the time being" she said and stayed there next to him sitting on the floor while he was on the couch she reached up and started to take his shoes off easily setting them down and shedding him of anything other than his shirt and pants, she left his side for a moment to put them away in his room, she paused when she entered and looked around briefly before closing the door gently and moving back into the living room " is there anything i can get for you Alexan" she said bending down to look at him again.
 
Alexan smiled when Susan spoke, almost expecting her to place her finger against his lips. Her voice was soothing and he relaxed a little, though his injuries didn’t allow him much respite. He felt her take off his shoes and other stuff and felt his heart flutter at her touch. He tensed as she walked away then relaxed again as she returned to his side. When she spoke, he nodded. “Bandages and towels” he said softly, his voice weak from the fight. “In bathroom.” He paused, taking a deep breath. “New to bandage wounds. Bleeding all over couch.” His words were weird, his sentences not be complete, but he was too tired to talk properly. He knew she’d know what to do. “And water please. Mouth dry.” He closed his eyes then, those few words exhausting him.
 
Watched him and hurried away to get the things he needed, she found the medicine and bandages and brought them over setting them on the table and went to the kitchen getting him some water, she sat up next to him and moved her arm around him sitting him up and holding him gently but firmly raising the glass to his lips " Alexan wake up and drink this " she whispered softly and smiled at him lifting the glass to his lips gently tilting it up for him to take the water, when he did she held it there for him to take as much as he needed before setting it to the side, she grabbed a pillow and placed it where his head would go, she reached down and started to unbutton his shirt gently and sliding it off his torso while watching seeing how bad the wounds were, she drew in a breath at the site of blood and tried to keep her composure as she shed him of his shirt and tossed it to the side before laying him back down on the couch and grabbed the medicine and a towel before looking at him " this is going to sting very badly so try and hold still " her voice was wavery at the site of wounds and blood and exposed flesh, she gently placed the towel on-top of the wound in his chest and she was right it did burn but it was to get the impurities out and clean the wound so it wouldn't get infected. She expected him to start flailing about as she pressed on his chest, after a moment she quickly removed the towel and cleaned him up around the wound before finding a large gauze and placed it on-top and wrapped the bandages around him quickly and firmly hoping she was doing alright.
 
Alexan heard her call him from a faraway place and he struggled to regain consciousness, his body shutting down from the pain of the injuries. When he felt her sit him up, he groaned from the pain in his chest but did it, enjoying the coolness of the water as she put the glass to his lips and he drank. “Thank you” he whispered as she laid him back down and began to unbutton his shirt. He watched her open one button after another and all he could think about was the tenderness of her hands and how he wished this was happening in another place and manner. Were he not so badly injured, he thought he would have made a joke about a pretty woman stripping him down but he couldn’t muster up the energy. He heard her slight gasp as she opened his shirt fully and saw his wounds. He knew they were bad but he was healing. It would just take time. He heard her warning and then let out a sharp hiss through clenched teeth as the medicine burned through his chest, igniting his nerves and tightening his muscles. He wanted to thrash around, maybe shove her off him it hurt so bad, but he restrained himself, remembering her plea to stay still. When she was done, and he was fully bandaged, he took a ton of deep breaths, calming his nerves and slowing his heart. He turned his head to look at her, his emotions evident in his eyes, and he smiled. “Thank you” he whispered, reaching out to stroke her cheek and run a finger across her lips lightly. “Thank you.”
 
Looked down at him and smiled taking his hand gently and holding it between hers as she sat there stroking his skin gently trying to get him to fall asleep, she knew he needed to sleep to help with the pain and such so she sat there till he was deep in sleep before she got up gently laying his hand down and cleaning up the mess leaving spare bandages there on the table for when she needed to change them out eventually, she looked down at him and smiled leaning down and kissing him cheek softly before walking to the kitchen and sitting at the table to wait and see if he woke up or if there was anything else that he might need from her. She sat there reading her book that she had in her bag with a cup of tea in her hand that she had found that calmed her nerves down greatly.
