I’m coming.
At this rate, the hotel’s security would come knocking. In fact, the humans probably called the police.
Supernaturals had a secret treaty with The United Nations also known as the UN. It was the largest human intergovernmental organization in the world, with a current membership of 193 countries.
The UN was similar to the United Supernatural Council or USC in which every supernatural being authority held a seat in the organization and equal representation.
Centuries ago, the United Supernatural Council contacted the humans’ top leaders and revealed our existence. Due to humans outnumbering supernaturals and being well-skilled at killing everything around them, our leaders believed diplomacy would work better with this species.
For many supernaturals, humans served as energy sources. Their blood quenched vampires. Some shapeshifters enjoyed their flesh. Soul-eaters snacked on their souls. Their sexual energy fed demons. The human world served as the “farm” for these creatures.
Then, there were species like mine that were simply entertained by them and loved stealing their delicious food.
My people enjoyed watching their evolution. No other species on this earth were created like them. In fact, many thought their imaginations were their true superpower. While some supernaturals like sorcerers and witches could change reality, some humans could use stories, movies, art, and songs to alter and effect reality too.
To us, they were like a human’s most favorite TV show, but it never ended and was absolutely never boring.
Meanwhile, witches loved breeding with them to carry on their diminishing line.
It was a good relationship for all involved; humans got to continue living, and supernaturals got to continue existing…and breeding, which was terribly important to them.
Azar’s next snarl boomed through the space, rattling the walls.
Would you be quiet? You’re going to get us killed.
According to the secret treaty signed by UN countries and United Supernatural Council, our existence was to remain secret as to not deliver the human population into madness. Anytime humans witnessed a supernatural occurrence, USC sent their magic troops to cleanse the humans’ minds and possibly exterminate the creature for breaking our laws.
I rushed to the hotel’s small sitting room.
Thankfully, I chained him up.
I crossed the threshold and stopped.
Demon magic thickened the air, casting a seductive green glow. I felt the demon magic in the air, hot and dark, like a blanket of smoke. It smelled like sulphur and made my eyes water. The raw energy bubbled and boiled against my skin.
Terror raced through me.
I didn’t want to take another step inside, but I had to deal with him.
I stepped forward, my feet sinking into the plush white carpet.
I quickly looked at the massive couch where I’d chained Azar. Shreds of the yellow comforter I’d thrown on him covered the black couch mixed in with strips of sage rope.
He wasn’t there.
Terror stabbed at my heart. I pushed my fangs out just in case he tried to attack me.
I knew he was powerful, but. . .
I scanned the space.
Every inanimate object was now influenced by the demon magic that had flowed through it. Chairs and vases rocked back and forth on their shoulders, like trees in a heavy wind. A lamp flickered on and off as if a stormy wind were rushing through the room. The drapes on the balcony swished back and forth as if a stormy wind was rushing through.
I gulped down fear. “Azar? Let’s talk. . .Okay?”
A boom sounded to my right. All the potted plants in the corner exploded.
I jumped back and held in a scream.
