Annalise frowned and took a step back from the man, a task that was impossible due to her tether. She swallowed harshly and attempted to recompose herself to hide her fear. The demon did not exist. The demon could not exist. And even so, Annalise would be a fool not to admit that something was off about this man. At his approach, the forest had silenced completely.

In all senses, he was out of this world.<br/><br/>His smile both made her want to bring backward and run into his arms. This fact alone alarmed the young girl more than anything else. "I... I would appreciate some assistance in getting me out," she said, pulling on the chains to strengthen her argument. "My village believes that a demon lives in this forest and has chosen me as sacrifice to keep him calm. I do not know if I agree with them, but I do know these chains are awfully tight. Please sir," she pleaded.
