Demons *Work in progress*

Prologue: Angel in the Snow

Her body was slowly going numb as she trudged her way through the thick snow. Dark green curls flew in front of her face and hit her like tiny whips. She gently brushed them out of her face with her right hand as she continued to scale the white hill. A flurry sprayed sharp knife-like snowflakes against her, cutting through the skin on her face and arms. She was battered, bruised, and bleeding… she dare not stop... she desperately need shelter and warmth, but was slowly going out like a flame. She fell to her knees and fainted into the snow.
Thereon searched the forest; his demon had said that a threat loomed in the woods. He searched and found only a couple of deer. A shimmer off of something green in the snow, caught the corner of his eye. He sprinted towards the shimmer and found that the green in the snow was a woman. He turned her over to examine her further. She was gorgeous… dark green curling locks of hair falling on a sun-kissed face, she wasn’t petite like the woman his brother brought home, but she wasn’t fat either… she was perfect…

Ch. 1: Cyrus and the snow angel

Thereon dashed back to his castle with the girl in his arms he wondered… is this, what my demon was so worried about? This gorgeous, perfect, woman? When he reached the front door of the castle, he gently tossed her over his shoulder and walked in. Thereon took a quick survey of the room; Cyrus was nowhere to be seen. He walked up stairs to his room and laid her down on his bed. He gave her one final look over, and walked out quietly. He gulped as he walked to Cyrus’s personal study, he may be the keeper of Lust, but he was the most intelligent of the three brothers.
“Cyrus…” Thereon said quietly. Cyrus was bleach-blond with bright blue eyes, he had slender muscles and every woman fell to his beauty and demon. Cyrus silently looked over at the door, eyeing Thereon.
“Yes, Thereon what is it?” he replied coolly.
“I found something… I need to show you…”
“Okay, well, where is it?”
Thereon looked down, “my room…”
Cyrus walked passed him, down the hall and entered Thereon’s room where the sleeping beauty lay, breathing slowly.
“It’s a woman… Thereon, is she dead?”
Thereon shook his head; medium length, shaggy black hair fell onto his face. “No, I found her face down in the snow outside our castle. She’s…gorgeous…” he mumbled the last two words but his brother still heard them.
Cyrus looked her over, “Yes she is…” he licked his lips; Cyrus was the keeper of Lust, he had learned to keep his demon in control, but for whatever reason. He couldn’t control it around this beautiful creature…
A small grumble seeped out of the girl’s lips; she rolled over and blinked twice. She wanted to scream but only coughed. Thereon bent down beside her bed.
“Are you okay?”
“I—I am… cold…” Of course she is idiot... she was laying in snow when you found her. He quickly grabbed blankets and gently threw them around her, in seconds she looked like a rather small, but cute snow beast.
“My name is Thereon. Are you feeling any warmer?” He bent down be side her once more, placing a gentle hand on hers.
“I… Am thank you. My name is Kaila Shepherd.” She starred into his golden eyes, lost by the swirl of colors. “Where am I?”
“You are safe, inside my castle…”
“Thereon, perhaps we should let her rest and wash up, while we fix food.” Cyrus voice was a reminder to Thereon that they weren’t alone in the room.
