Wolf of Stone novel Chapter 42

The demon chuckled and smiled cunningly at Liza, "are you interested, little girl?"

"I mean..." Liza shrugged, a coy smile tilting up her lips, "are you offering?"

The demon raised a brow in surprise.

"Okay okay okay, that's enough!" I pinched Liza's arm and watched as she winced and glared back at me. I narrowed my eyes at her, "that is a demon!"

"Well, aren't you discriminating against race. I'm just playing around, I'm not serious... mostly."

I rolled my eyes, "of course you're not!"

"Don't act like you didn't say you'd fuck a demon if you ever met one!"

My eyes widened as my face flushed, "that was in high school! I was going through anime guys are hot as hell faze!" I defended.

"Well, I'm a late bloomer!"

"That doesn't make any sense!"

"You know what I mean though!"

"That's cause I had to learn how to understand dumb."

"Hell is hot!"

"We been knew this."

"You're terrible."

"You know this."

"Ezmira Riley Renae Franchild!"

"Ayoo!" I stared at her, offended, "why you violating? Giving out my full name for what?"

Liza laughed in response and stepped back to stand beside me again.

"You want to be with a demon?"

Axil's voice caused me to tense as I looked over at him. He watched us with amused eyes mixed with some other emotions I couldn't quite pinpoint. However, the contemplative look in his eyes didn't go unnoticed.

I could feel my face flush deeper in embarrassment, "I don't!"

"Excuse me?" The demon whistled to gain our attention. He picked at his teeth with a bored expression, "as much as I'd like to stand around and chat, I've just been interrupted from my sleep, and I need to know why."

I cleared my throat and got back to business, "We need your help."

The demon eyed our dirty appearances, "That's not obvious."

I narrowed my eyes at his attitude, "well I'd like to go into more detail but first, aren't there supposed to be three of you?"

A dark shadow casted over the demon's face at my question.

I leaned in to respond, "forget that what's up with the names?"

"Maybe it matches their personality?"

"Have to be."

"Why are you even being nice? It's just one witch, a weak ass human and a mutt. We're free!" Illumy grumbled before she locked eyes with me. A wicked smile curled up her lips as she suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of our faces, her hand raised as if ready to launch an attack.

Liza screeched in surprise.

I was already prepared for this. I twisted my head slightly and watched as an invisible force knocked into her and blew her away and into a tree.

Axil quickly came to stand in front of me as the other two demons looked at me in surprise.

Illumy groaned as she slowly got up from the bent tree that looked like it was ready to topple over. Her arm was twisted gruesomely but she snapped it back without hesitation as if the pain meant nothing to her.

"So, you're that kind of witch." Illumy muttered in annoyance.

Ego laughed and placed his hand on her shoulder as she came back to stand beside them, "this is what you get for being impatient!"

"Shut up."

Chaos smiled at us and kept up his nice persona, "what is it do you want from us?"

"I need you to do what you do best. Trick, deceive, I want you to cause a big disturbance around this town that lures everyone away from the museum that is built in the center of it. Everyone is currently looking for us so do what you have to do to get them away from the museum and out of our way."
