Thread: Devil's Trap (Panda and Dogged)

RE Devil's Trap Dogged and Panda You aren't the only one who can hear the feather brains Elsa, you just happened to be closest in location to me at the moment. You're easily replaceable. He lied smoothly and grinned, using her brother's guileless face. Not only was she an original in that ability, but there was an immense bounty on her pretty little head right now. Damned if he was going to let some other demon get a piece of the prize. He could already see himself as head of his very own legion of lower level demons all his very own to command! He looked at her lovely green eyes and contemplated the situation for a long moment. The smile turned scornful as Vetis grabbed a chunk of her short blond hair and sharply kicked her backward onto the floor, simply because she'd made such a deliberate point of standing up. His foot connected with a small lump of cylindrical metal, feeling the strength of the pocket knife. Had she doused it with holy water? Knowing Hunters, it would be a most certain yes on that question. The moment Elsa talked to her brother, he caught the internal strain of the very strong-willed young man. His expression flickered from passive laughter to utter rage as he play-wrestled the vehement human inside. The feel of Eric fuming within was entertaining and he stabbed at the mind just for amusement, drawing out the pain. The boy squirmed, his face, ears and neck turning dark red at the anguish of what was essentially a mind rape. At some point, her brother knew what Vetis would do and his plans for Elsa were revealed. How could he let this boy just 'walk away' in trade for cooperation? And furthermore, did this mere slip of a human female truly believe she could deal with him?! Considering how much fun it was, the demon decided to toy with Elsa a bit longer. Undoubtedly, an emotionally and physically beaten human was far more pliable than this feisty and stupidly fearless little miss. She did slip a little when her brother came out to chat, so this might be a good ruse, used at the right times and not overdone. Her words startled the demon into stillness for a brief second of time. Was she actually saying what he thought she was? If I let your brother Eric walk away then you promise to give me whatever I want? Vetis' voice was quiet, but very succinct. It sounds like a fair deal to me to let him walk in exchange for your promise of complete and total cooperation. More than fair actually. He stood directly in front of the prostrate woman, his boots a mere inch from her face and more than ready for further violent action. Why was she giving in so easily? It had to be some kind of trap! She was raised around Hunters and he didn't trust these little humans--they were like roaches crawling around in short, pointless lives with a brain only intended to survive no matter the cost. Idiots really. Granted it had been hundreds of years since he'd felt any emotion and personally, his connection to humanity was less than zero. One thing the demon -did- share with humanity was overconfidence in abundance. Someday it would be his downfall, but it was a flaw that remained unknown to its owner. Should an enterprising Hunter recognize and utilize it, then it would be Vetis' ultimate downfall. He gestured arrogantly to the bindings on her wrists and they loosened accordingly. You should make yourself more comfortable while we talk Elsa.
