she looked at the large display of the saja boys her shoulders slumping. here goes nothing. she wrapped the rosary around her hand clutching it in between her palms and began to pray, she prayed to them for help, to save her but nothing came as well for a second.

her eyes opened and she let out a long sigh. she was going to die, she frowned but just as she had given uo the rosary in her hand snapped the beads hitting the ground filling the deep silence and then all the candles blew out.

her body was frozen, she didn’t know if she should move. the silence was too strong it almost feeling as if the world was standing still. chills went down her spine as goosebumps erupted on her skin.

someone was watching. she could feel it but she couldn’t see anything in the pitch black. “h-hello?” just as she spoke all the candles became lit once more the flames burning much brighter than before lighting up the area.

“well isn’t she the prettiest little thing?” a voice cooed at her and it almost made her jump out of her skin but when she looked around she couldn’t see anything. “she’s so jumpy, so scared.” another voice mocked her. she felt the need to run but she couldn’t bring herself to move from where she kneeled. “pretty girl praying to us.” another voice called with a intoxicating laugh. “i could just take a bite.” the last voice faded off and she couldn’t focus on anything looking down at her palms for a point the string of the rosary still hanging off her fingers.

“hello.” she jumped looking up and just outside of the ring of candles stood one of the saja boys. the leader jinu. the candles reflecting on his skin made him look like something out of a movie. his eyes glowing and his marks revealed to her. his hat tilted slightly.

she was in shock her mouth agape at the sight of him.

the rumors amongst the others had been true. the saja boys were demons.

“you’re…” her voice died off not being able to think of words to say and he smiled at her, flashing her his sharp fangs “you called, we came.” he hummed looking down at her. “what is it you need that you came to us?” he kneeled down to her to be on her level still on the other side of the candles the candles were almost a barrier between her and him.

he was kneeling as if she show her despite him being a demon they were somewhat equals. the glow of the candles only reflected on him more and god, he was beautiful.

“where are the others?” she asked pointing at the picture behind him of the 5 boys and he looked back. “they’re not strong enough to face you, yet.” he explained looking back at her his eyes boring into hers “your connection with me was far deeper than them. must’ve been your favorite.” he teased her and her cheeks quickly heated up and she looked away from him at her hands. what can she say? she was a girl of taste.

“they’ll show themselves once they’re more connected to you but it won’t be until you make a deal with us. if that’s what you intend to you, my love.”

she blinked a few times remembering that she was in fact here for a reason and the reason would be here any minute to gut her. “my family is in this cult and they’re going to sacrifice me to gwi-ma because they say i have a pure soul and he can bring them peace and wealth if he takes me but i don’t wanna die!” she’s out of breath by the time she finishes explaining. he eyed her for a moment his large claw tapping his chin pretending to think about it.

“please, help me.” she leaned on her palms closer to him and he seemed to almost pity her from the way he looked at her. “a pure soul.” he repeated tilting his head slightly at her, his eyes running over her “that explains why i can feel your pull so much, as if you’re a pretty little angel trying to bring me to salvation.” he’s talking to himself more than he’s talking to her.

his eyes meet hers once more “you want protection?” she nods quickly “they’ll come for me any moment!” he nodded slowly “we’ll make a deal with you, little angel.” his voice is soft massaging her soul in ways she never felt “but you must give us something.”

“what is it?” jinu wanted to laugh at the cute naive look on her face. so pure. he needed her. “we want to walk the earth once more but the honmoon has been closed.” he explained his voice was tender unlike a demons should be. his claw drags on the dirt beneath him “but if we had a soul to be bonded to…” he lets his voice trail off and it didn’t take long for her to get what he was trying to say.

“if you bind yourselves to me you’ll be able to come back.” he nodded at her with a soft hum “and you’ll have all the protection you need. nothing will ever hurt you.” his voice is almost invigorating for you, it makes her heart race. “but you’ll be stuck with us. a soul bond is not a game my love.”

she didn’t even process his words honestly not when she heard the door swing open to the warehouse. they’d find her soon. “please.” his smile grew wider sticking out his hand just outside the barrier of candles. “do we have a deal?”

her mind raced with two choices but the onky logically one in her head was him. the voice drew closer yelling for her. she had to hurry. “deal.” her hand reached out the barrier protecting her grabbing his hand in hers and it felt like a burning bind because it hurt.

her hand felt like it was on fire the second it met his and he pulled her into him. caught off guard she fell more onto him than anything knocking over candles. the pain increased but this time in her chest and she let out a pained cry falling into his chest. it almost felt like she was being physically bonded to them from the way her body ached “shhh, shh” he cooed at her “it’ll be over soon.” he promised petting her hair as if she was just a pretty little kitten.

suddenly she feels other hands on her, trying to calm her and she could hardly focus on his words before she felt herself losing consciousness “it’s okay.” he promised the voice was calming “we’ll protect you.”
