`forest—

@kim taehyung Jongjin was out on a hunt. One of the biggest hunts he's been on in a while. What was he hunting? A human. Well a human possessed by a demonic being but a human nonetheless. He had been tracking the man for nearly twenty four hours now and was just on the verge of pouncing on his prey like a predator would when somewhere near by a whoosh! and thunk! was heard as an arrow was shot nearby, effectively scaring off the possessed human and officially pissing Jongjin off like never before. He hated when things got in his way no matter if it was an accident or not and so Jongjin out of anger and fury decided to let the possessed one go and stalk after his new prey with the arrow. He quickly followed the males tracks and drops of blood of what he assumed came from some sort of animal and came to a stop at a small clearing where the nuisance was sat creating a fire. He strode forward out of the bushes he was concealing himself with and aimed is blade right under the others chin, stopping just short of slicing through skin. "I should have known it would be you," Jongjin ground out as he got a good look at who exactly had managed to ruin his hunt to effectively, "Somehow you always manage to get on my nerves, Kim Taehyung."

@ok taecyeon "It's not about that." She began softly but then shook her head at herself. It wasn't uncommon for her and her intentions to be misunderstood, even when she spoke of them plainly. To her it wasn't just a trophy but a meal, a test of skill, and a sense of oneness with the world around her. Hunting was as natural to her as walking was to most people but there was no way for her to explain that to him, even if she did he would probably still not get it.

Boa stood up and dusted off her leathers as he stepped closer, offering only a small grunt in response to what she guessed he thought was a compliment. That too was another misconception that she stopped trying to correct. Her natural form was more that of a ghost or fairy but pretty much everyone thought she was a werewolf and that suited her just fine.

The thought of finding a man made her scrunch up her face in disgust, emitting a small "Eww" as she turned to follow him. "What on earth do I need a man for?" The princess mumbled as she fell into step behind her brother. As a vila she was used to being on her own and there were no males of her species so she couldn't really see a use for one.

@kwon boa There were no sounds of killing or slicing or eating. No smell of blood. Did she let the game go? Taecyeon turned around just to see the deer run away and he looked at his little sister in slight disbelief. "If you wanted it to hang up, should've just killed him." The demigod shrugged. He was insensitive, to say the least, towards people and their emotions. He didn't understand her shame, her pain. It was all a game to him. Everything was.

He stepped closer to the now human Boa and smiled mischievously. "You look better in human form. Much more...Hm.. Natural..." He hummed. He had basically watched the young woman grow up since she was little. The age gap between them was nearly four years, so he was always faster and stronger but Boa was outside often and being a werewolf had advantages as well. The most shocking part was watching her enter puberty, hitting a rather lackluster growth spurt and growing in s (which weren't all too bad, probably 7.5/10 if he were to rate...). She had always been one of his brothers but standing here with her now was like a totally different person.

"You look much more comfortable and pretty as a human. I'm sure you'll find a wolfman lover in time. I'm heading to the lake to clean off this sweat. You might as well come too, you're sweating bullets." Taecyeon smiled his signature, charismatic smile before turning on his heels to walk toward the clearing where the lake was located.

@ok taecyeon If Boa had not been on the hunt she would have growled at being called a dog but she didn't have time for that. There was only a slim chance she could beat her Demi-God brother if he used his powers but she had to try. She was so close she could almost taste the deer if she desired to but it wouldn't bring it down, that was the goal, and she was getting ready to launch herself for the kill but the deer stumbled first.

'Damn him and that knife!' She thought as she overran the crippled creature and turned to watch. Shame at the defeat stung in her chest as she watched Taecyeon with her prize but she had to honor his skill. Her golden eyes watched unblinking as he laughed and walked away.

Worse than the loss were his words. Sometimes when he spoke she believed he despised her so she had begun to purposely avoid him and at that moment she wished she had been more successful. 'Sloppy seconds aren't my style.' She grumbled internally as she moved towards the deer and shifted back into her human form.

The lightning bolt had done some damage and stunned but wasn't fatal. Boa could never leave the creature in pain like that so she had to end it. She placed her hands gently over the beast's singed fur and began to channel her energy into it to repair the damage. In a few short seconds the deer shook off the shock and was running free again. "Next time you are mine." She mumbled after it, ignoring the presence of her brother.

@kwon boa "Turning into your true dog form? Totally not fair, y'know." he laughed, speeding up with his superhuman speed. Since they were using powers now, Taecyeon stowed the knife away for now and generated a bolt of lightning. With a powerful throw, it struck the deer and stunned it so it fell to the ground.

Now he had to get to it first.

Without missing a beat, the young prince jumped on the buck's paralyzed body and drew his knife, quickly about to slice the head clean off....until he began laughing hysterically and got up to let his sister to the dirty work. "Go on, you savage beast. Kill it. I'd rather not watch." Taecyeon said as he looked away. Blood was one of the things that made him uneasy so he'd rather let Boa handle this one.

@ok taecyeon They were neck in neck as they both closed on the deer and Boa knew that even if she got a clean shot he would still be close enough to maybe get the kill before her. The princess just couldn't let that happen. He could beat her at everything else, and he usually did, but hunting was her area of expertise and she didn't want to give it up. She was ready to fight him tooth and nail, using her own claws and fangs to keep it that way.

Boa carefully stepped in closer and was drawing her bow for her shot when she heard a twig snap from over in Taecyeon's direction. Crap.

The deer took off and Boa took only a split second to shake her head disappointedly at her brother before she began after it. Although it was annoying to have to run down her prey it did also add an air of excitement. Maybe it would be a lot if fun after all.

A laugh bubbled up in and she tossed her head back to let out a wild yell as she began shifting forms. Her pale skin began to darken and grow jet black fur as the muscles beneath moved and grew to the proper proportions. She fell forward to all fours in mid stride and seamlessly adjusted her motions as her padded paws propelled her across the forest floor. If she was a great hunter as a human she was even better as an ebony wolf and she let the deer know what was coming with a long howl.

@kwon boa Hunting, in his honest opinion, was a rather disgusting and brutal sport. He didn't exactly know why he liked doing it or even why he was out right now, knife close as he stalked a deer. Maybe it was for the thrill-- who was he kidding. He was just trying to one-up his sister.

Taecyeon hunted for the simple fact that he loved winning. Being on top. He assumed he inherited this trait from being a demigod, child of Zeus and all it only seemed logical. But beating Boa was one of his favorite things anyway. Who could get ready quicker, who got downstairs faster, who finished meals first. Everything was a competition and his little sister was pretty much like a little brother to him; annoying and adorable.

Finally, here was his chance. He had the knife drawn and was steps away from the buck and much closer than his sister with the bow. "Not if I behead it first, sis." Taecyeon chuckled. He took one more step but broke a twig in the process, sending the buck running off. The demigod followed in pursuit, not letting this one get away.

@ok taecyeon The loose soil shifted beneath her booted feet as she crouched along one of the deer trails and checked the tracks left by her quarry. Fresh hoofprints marked the path the beast was taking and it was heading perfectly upwind and towards the mountains. It wouldn't belong before her keen senses caught its scent and then it would all be over: another trophy for her wall.

Blood coursed through her veins excitedly as she took off gracefully after it, nimbly picking her way through the underbrush with the skill from years of practice. Boa barely made a sound or moved a branch as she ran past and a small smile crept onto her face. This was what's he lived for and the one thing that gave her an escape from the suffocating life at the castle.

A quick glance down to the tracks let her know she was closing in fast and she was about to draw her bow when another figure out of the corner of her eye gave her pause. It was only a flash, a shadow, but she knew then exactly what it was. "Not today, brother." She whispered and pushed herself just a little bit harder. "This one is mine."

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] [ replied in master's area ^^ ]

@park chorong Jaehyo was stunned when he noticed HIS necklace taken away by a bunch of vines, as they did have a little tug and war session. He sacrificed his life on the line just to get that necklace and the tragic thing that can happen was to have a bunch of vines taking it away so easily. Furrowing his brows in anger, Jaehyo would've chopped up those vines into pieces. However as he was worn out from the running, his eyes followed the vines until he sighted a female whom seems to be casually taking the necklace. Displeased with the scene he sighted, Jaehyo shouted loudly at the female, not caring if there's any potential chaser still wandering at the foot of the tree. "Hey! That's my item you're holding!" He pointed at the necklace. "I earned that stuff."

@park chorong Jaehyo was running deeper within the forest with a troop of people chasing his tail, it wasn't the first time, neither was it going to be his last. Jaehyo have gotten used to this lifestyle but fatigue became his worst enemy at that current moment. Desperate to find a hiding place to dodge those men, Jaehyo skimmed through the dense place when he found a tall tree. Having no other choice to run to, Jaehyo climbed up the tree with his remaining stamina, he was planning to stay there until the group went away. Sitting on the branch, Jaehyo began to catch his breath before revealing a pretty silver necklace from his pockets which he stole from somewhere. He doesn't know who the necklace belongs to when he stole it, but he heard that it was for a princess which no one have sighted or found for the last few years. Since it is believed that the princess is most probably no longer around, the necklace would be nothing more than a useless decoration if Jaehyo haven't take it away. Admiring his new treasure which was glistening in the faint sunlight, Jaehyo was able to enjoy a little peace from the chasing game he had.

Minki sighed and needed some time for himself to think. To get fresh air. Everything was going smoothly when he was able to return back to his rightful home. Although, it was too late for him to be with his actual real mother, but he still had his appa. The only one left was him. He didn't mind with just the both of them. Minki loved it, because he could spend lots of time with his father and learn more about the castle life. Until he found out that his appa was remarrying. Which meant a new mother. The prince didn't like the idea, he coudln't stand anyone trying to replace his real mother. It made him really angry and upset. Minki also noticing that, because of his appas new wife, his appa seemed to slowly have less time for him. However, but more time for her. He sighed, wanting to rip his hair out. Or better yet, he felt like living the castle life again.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] Hearing the furniture move, Hyorin pulled the bed covers over her body. The hairs on the back of her neck were standing on it's ends when she felt that him watching her. Exhaling silently, the thought that there really was no way to escape lingered in her mind. Especially not when she realized that the demon wasn't sleeping.

It didn't take long for fatigue to consume her and she had to close her eyes. Causing her to fall asleep almost right away, the dreams of her past memories floated in her mind making her to shift about and make small incoherent sounds. The same recurring dreams of how she was taken away from her town to the castle and the months that she spent in the castle flashed in her mind like a piece of music on replay, haunting her and making it hard for her to sleep on normal days where she wasn't this tired.

Groaning slightly when she was being shook by Minhyuk. The fox tried to blink her eyes open, doing her best to wake up fully. She looked around her and nearly panicked when she saw how different her surroundings were. It took her a moment to fully remember that they were at an inn and not the forest, along all with the series of events that led her here and where she would be going next.

When she finally registered what he said and was asking, "only for a while I think ... But I would definitely be sore everywhere." Hyorin followed his gaze to her legs and answered quietly.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] Listening to the repetitive sounds of the horse galloping, Hyorin sulked as she stared ahead watching sunlight fade and give way to night. She wondered if they going straight back to the castle, judging by the horse's pace, it definitely seemed like it. Wishing that she wasn't that weak and tired because it felt like she was on the verge of fainting and it didn't help with how sore her lower half was.

Inwardly thankful when the horse finally slowed down to a stop, Hyorin nodded weakly to whatever Minhyuk said even though she couldn't fully register his words. She felt him dismounting and didn't oppose to him helping her since she had a feeling of simply falling off. Reaching out to steady herself against a wall, she waited for him to be done securing the horse and when he carried her in his arms. There wasn't anything she could say or do but to hide her face in the Master's shoulder. She didn't want to see the innkeeper and she didn't want the person to see her disheveled appearance.

She tried to keep note of where he walked but information seemed hard to retain. The inn felt warm and welcoming compared to the cold grandeur of the castle. The quarters where slaves had to work in were usually dim so that it heightened pleasure or so she was told. When she felt her back against the mattress, relief washed over her but she didn't know if she should be thankful for the comfort because it meant that she would be brought back to the castle.

Hyorin blinked at him when he tilted his head and made his remark. Looking away dejectedly and turning to her side. She let her back face Minhyuk while she curled up into her usual sleeping position. Not answering him because of sheer exhaustion and as far as she knew, it was impossible for her to not think about escaping.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] She nodded upon hearing her name, liking the way it left his lips. Looking at him expectantly, the fox was hoping to hear his name but she saw the recognition flicker across his features and it made her heart sink.

Whimpering to his tightened grip, "No! I don't want to go back, so what if it's not a wise thing to do. I don't care!" The fox shook her head and struggled weakly against his body. Trying to pull away from his arms, she knew that it was pointless and futile with her being so weak right now but she didn't want to go willingly.

"I don't know..." Hyorin wobbled a little on her feet but she leaned her body against the tree so that she wouldn't fall over. Gazing at her clothes sadly, the thought of returning to the palace filling her mind as she put on each article.

Yelping out of surprise when she felt that she was picked up rather unceremoniously. The fox struggled in his arms and after he placed her on his horse, she tried to get a hold on the animal's reins before the demon got on the saddle.

Hoping that she would be able to get away on horseback, her hopes were crushed when he sat in place behind her. Grumbling incoherently and holding onto the saddle Hyorin braced herself for the jerky or bumpy ride back.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] Looking at him with heavy eyelids, she found it hard to keep her breathing even as hers intermingled with his. It was official, she had given the demon her ity and inwardly she was torn between liking and trying to stay away from it like she was doing before she met him. But was it possible? Having with him felt so good and she finally understood why the other slaves went with him so willingly.

Weakly moving her hips to meet his while she came down from her high, small moans left her lips until her walls could not grip on his length anymore and simply remained snug around him. The fox was glad that he had the strength to hold onto her because she could feel it slowly slipping away.

About to answer his question, she couldn't help but to moan from the friction that she felt when he was pulling out of her. Was it normal to feel empty? To miss the feeling of being filled up? Biting her lip as she looked down, taking a peek at his length. She blushed when she saw how their juices were along her inner thighs and along with the way it coated his manhood.

"I'm Hyorin..." Giving him the slave name that she was given when she had been brought the palace instead of her birth name. "Do I get to know Master's name?" She asked him curiously and reflexively held onto him more when she felt him shiver. Fearing that he might drop her by accident, unknowingly pressing herself against him.

"Y-yes please... No offense taken, I really am feeling weak." Hyorin answered tiredly, resting her chin on his shoulder and spoke by his ear.

@noh yiyoung [Reposted incase you missed it]

@noh yiyoung Minki's expression changed when saw black mist everywhere. He blinked and spread out his wings more. He flapped his wings. Lifting himself off thd ground. Trying to head back to the castle. (2 days ago)

"Princess Gayoon has escaped the kingdom!" A gourd said, telling his partner while panting heavily from running in an armor. "Are you sure?" The other asks, not believing his words. "The maid was about to prepare her bath when she couldn't find her anywhere and searched everywhere, even the rooftop garden, no sign of the princess." He replied in a disappointing tone. "We must not tell King Jongjin yet or our heads will be gone." The other said in return and ran to the gourd quarter to inform the general.

Gayoon could only laugh hearing their conversation and looks around if people are passing by or not. Carefully, she lands on the floor since she had been climbing/hiding behind the curtains. She quickly ran out from the back gate, holding her long indigo hood to cover her face and looks at the signboard quickly before continuing her walk. But she panicked hearing a sound which was actually just a duck's quack. Entering the woods, she cursed to herself and thought, 'Stupid step loser queen for not letting me even see Kurokage, I don't even know anywhere to go thanks to your 'motherly' care. Thank god I poisoned you.' She walks deeper to the woods, hoping there will be a sign of smoke, hinting a house nearby but luck wasn't there for her on that time, and all she ever does is go even deeper to the woods. She took oit her bag and cuts a piece of bread and cheese so she won't feel hungry and rests on a shady oak tree.

@noh yiyoung Minki's expression changed when saw black mist everywhere. He blinked and spread out his wings more. He flapped his wings. Lifting himself off thd ground. Trying to head back to the castle.

@noh yiyoung The young prince happily smiled and dug up some of the shiny items. He loved to find lost things. After digging it up he put it into his bag. Wanting to show his appa as to what he found. He felt another person's presence, but wasnt sure what was their. He spread his wings a little bit, putting his satchel bag back on. He flapped them which created a strong wind of air. Causing some trees and some dirt to fly around.

Minki was flying around and decided to stop by the forest. He mostly spent his time in the castle and decided to go outside for a little while. He landed with a thud and tripped over a rock. He hadn't masters the landings yet. Being cursed with wings, which out from black, to gray, and to white. They were permanent, so he had to adjust to them. The youngest prince decided to walk around. Wondering what he could find in the forest. The younger spotted shiny things near a small dirt area Nd decided to check it out.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] His s were making her crazy and at this point she couldn't tell if gravity was her friend or foe with how the force of his s was making her bounce harder on his length. It also didn't help that she could feel how hard he was as she took him in her all the way, full hilt.

Slick squelching sounds could be heard to his quickened s, considering how wet she was, making music together with the sounds of their skin slapping on skin. Crying out loudly when the incubus hit a sweet spot in her. She was left breathless as her walls clamped down and squeezed his length in response. The immense pleasure that she was receiving from their connection coupled with the kisses along her neck easily pushed her off the edge.

The tension in her that had been building up steadily broke free and Hyorin ed hard. Her first raked through her body strongly and overwhelmed her as her walls hugged and held onto tightly. helplessly when the demon came into her, the fox could feel the searing heat spilling into her.

Never before had she felt so warm before as his seed went deep into her core, heating up her entire body in the chilly air while she tried to hold on, panting hard to catch her breath from everything that happened. It didn't take long for her to be filled to the brim and their mixed leaked out of her, slowly dripping down her thighs.

Looking at him, dazed at what had just happened between them. Hyorin wondered how long more she could hold on before she passed out completely from exhaustion and fatigue.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] Hyorin's body felt like it was burning up when his length fully intruded her . Clinging onto him for dear life, she buried her face in his shoulder making soft whimpering sounds as she accomodated to his manhood. The pain slowly faded away and now, all she could feel was him.

It was electrifying. Every move she made, be it a slight shifting to have a better hold on the male or the squirm of restlessness in her... The friction that came from the movement gave her so much pleasure.

"M-Master..." She trembled and her limbs were quickly losing strength. How could something so sinful feel so good? Her entire body was feeling him and the fox tried to hold back her moans when he moved his length in and out of her, gradually increasing his pace and further building the heat and tension in her core. The sounds were embarrassing to her but it still managed to find a way to escape when her lips were claimed in his passionate kiss.

His tongue met no resistance when it made the familiar journey into . The soft muscle melded against his tongue almost instantly as she moved it with his, almost as if they were dancing to a heated tango routine that he led.

The tension in her was mounting higher and higher. Something was coiling up and her breathing was gradually becoming erratic while her walls were tensing up.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] It would be a lie to say that she wasn't intimidated or scared of the male anatomy that was greeting her when their clothes were done away with. in a big breath of air at the feeling of his length rubbing at her slick folds…

Wait.

When was she this wet in the first place?

“Ahh~” she moaned when the thick male anatomy was sliding between her folds, the flesh felt even warmer than she was as it coated itself in her juices. Her legs nearly giving way when her core began to ache with need, a different sort of hunger was building up in her and she was moving her hips in response, wanting to stoke the heat even higher between them.

The sounds that left the demon’s lips sounded so good and addictive, Hyorin wanted to hear more of it but she forgot about the pain that came along with it. Gasping while she clung desperately to him, the fox scratched at his back from the pain when his manhood pushed past her entrance and slid into her further.

Wrapping her legs around his waist firmly, she hated the pain but the built up desire and hunger was overwhelming her. Urging her pulsing core down on his length trying to take all of him in, panting hard and whimpering softly as she waited for herself to adjust, knowing that the faster she was over with the pain she would be back to feeling the addictive pleasure that she wanted.

@lee minhyuk [ hiatus ] His lips were leaving her needy and wanting more as she listened to the sounds of their lips moving together and the low seductive hums that where leaving his throat from the pressure of their hips together. They were stoking an unfamiliar heat in her.

The coldness of his palm against her heated skin caused a shiver to run down her spine. With it inching higher and higher until it reached it's destination. Nipping his tongue out of surprise when he intruded into . Hyorin tried to move her tongue away, almost playing hide-and-seek with him because of the strange unusual feeling.

A soft whimper left her lips as her body reacted to his touch and the soft peak was slowly turning into a hard nub with all the attention the demon was giving it also distracting her from hiding her tongue as it came into contact with his. It felt like she lost a portion of her mind when she felt his arousal against her and the rest of it moved her hips against his out of curiosity. Liking the heat that was growing in her as she did it.

Breathless and panting hard when he sudddenly pulled away, her arms went around herself trying to keep warm when he removed her clothes. His gaze on her bare skin felt so intense she nearly thought it as tangible. Watching him remove his clothes and at his exposed upper half, she was glad for the other's body heat when he moved closer to claim her lips again.

@lee minhyuk Why was his demonic aura so sweet and tempting? Like some forbidden fruit that she wasn't supposed to sample? It was so alluring to her now she wasn't able to pull away from him or resist. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest from how close he was to her. His proximity was bending her will to his and there wasn't anything the she could do about it.

Closing her eyes when he nuzzled her skin, Hyorin could feel herself relaxing to him. Her breath got caught in when she felt his warm lips to her neck. Unknowingly, she leaned her head to a side exposing more of her neck for him to taste. She couldn't think anymore. Her mind was gone and what her body was experiencing became a priority.

With his arms firmly around her, she could feel her chest pressed up against his toned body. The protest she wanted to say became muffled and forgotten with his assertive lips on her own. Slowly her hands trailed up his chest and went around his shoulders, holding onto him when her legs were losing strength.

The air around them was thick with his demonic aura, making her all too sensitive and aware of how her body was feeling. When his hand slipped under her clothes and touched her bare skin, she bit her lip not wanting to admit how much she liked the feeling of his hand. Gasping softly when his arousal pressed against her, making her feel how well endowed he was, it stirred something in her that she never experienced before. Without her realizing it, Hyorin was looking up at him with desire and need in her eyes.

@lee minhyuk Closing her eyes, Hyorin tried to focus but found it impossible to. Everything was too fuzzy and blurry in her mind to gather a substantial thought but oddly enough the sound of his voice was clear as day.

When the fox felt his fingertip on her skin, she could feel the small warmth from it despite the small contact and began to wonder how it might feel to have his hand touching the rest of her under the silks and fabrics of her attire.

A small whimper left her lips when she heard his voice from right behind her and how his face was touching the sensitive skin of her neck. Hyorin knew that her escape was over and that she had to kiss her freedom goodbye when his arms went around her. Physically struggling was not possible and mentally; her mind was in beyond salvage with the way she could feel his body pressing up against her back. Causing thoughts like; how this would all feel without their clothes keeping their skins apart to fill her head. As the heat radiated off his body and seeped into both her clothes and skin drawing her to his warmth and providing her the much needed heat in the Autumn cold.

"O-out here in t-the woods?" She turned to looked at him in surprise of the location.

@lee minhyuk Her heart was beating faster in her chest when she felt him moving in dangerously close.

"Gumiho?"

The familiar term rang in Hyorin's mind. "Should I be honored that you think so highly of me? I'm no 1000 year old fox, just an ordinary fox spirit" Her tone was cold and mocking at the start but when she felt the Master's finger brushing over her skin, the confidence and reasoning in her mind was getting muted and she could feel her body temperature rising.

Hyorin was glad that her feet cooperated and had managed to escape the unleashing of his demonic aura. It felt intense from a distance away and she couldn't imagine how she would react to him if he had touched her there and then. "I don't want your filthy hands on me!" She cried as she wove past the trees, "I hate the castle and I'm not going back there!"

Feeling like a drugged prey, the demonic aura slowly overwhelmed her and it felt like it was suffocating her. The forest looked hazy around her and all she could focus on was the other demon's presence right behind her as she came to a stop. Her feet unable to carry her any further.

@lee minhyuk The fox didn't like the smirk that was slowly growing on those y plump lips of his. Wait what is she thinking? She needed to snap out of it, she needed to get away from him. His very presence was clouding her mind. Did her attempt escape fail? Was he going to drag her back to the dim slaves quarters that always smelled of lust and ? She wanted to move so badly, to leave and continue her escape home but she couldn't.

Why weren't her legs cooperating with her?

Feeling his gaze on her, searching for her own pair. Hyorin refused to meet his eyes. Having a feeling that everything would be over once their eyes met, she could hear his footsteps approaching closer. His charm? What was he talking about? The fox was annoyed by the arrogance in his voice but a sinking feeling formed in the pits of her stomach when she felt the sudden rise in demonic aura. That's when it dawned on her, this person before her wasn't human. It explained why her senses felt so dull and her reasoning impaired.

This was bad.

Hyorin knew that she would be no match for him if he had laid his hand on her and she couldn't be happier that earlier on she had managed to push herself off the tree and turned her back against the master as she ran away from him.

@lee minhyuk Hyorin could sense another presence nearby. She couldn't feel how near or far the person and it annoyed her that her usually keen sense felt so numb tonight. Hearing a low sensual voice, the fox spirit felt her heart jump in her chest. How had he come so close without her noticing?

Why was she feeling like a haze was clouding her mind?

Eyes widening in recognition of who this person was, "what I'm doing here is none of your business." Hyorin tried to back away from him and to gain more distance between them. She knew that he was a master and he was definitely here to bring her back.

Having seen him going about the slaves quarters and how other slaves talked about him, she wanted nothing to do with him. Red warning signs were blaring in her mind that something was wrong with him, that he wasn't an average human but something else instead. However that warning sign was slowly fading out.

When Hyorin felt her back hit the tree, great, she thought. How cliched could she get? Peering into the woods and back at the male who was closing in on her. The fox tried to make a break for the woods where she could change into her animal form and be even harder to find.
