"What about your love life? How goes that?"

Taking in another slow sip from the wine filled goblet, he stared back with intense eyes at his unsuspecting prey. The excitement was running through him as he lured the girl into his inescapable grasp. He spoke then, again releasing his heavanly voice to her, making her shiver again at the mystique the man so radiated.

"I've never felt the experience of love, or passion. It is foreign to me, much as that wine is to you." She then replied to him, a bit suprised at what was just told to her.

"You've never felt love?" she tilted her head in wonder, "a man like you should have women in his chambers everynight!" He smiled at her assumption, and she then blushed, realizing what she just had said. He shook his head and attempted to ease her embarrassment.

"I have been told that by many, so dont worry about that. Yes, I have bedded many women, but love doesn't come to me quite so easy. I would look for particular things in a lover..." she then looked even more interested.

"And what would you look for exactly?" she tilted her head slightly.

"Someone", he paused for a moment, thinking for a moment before sipping more sweet wine, "that could relate to me I guess. A very hard trait to find, trust me, I've tried." the girl sighed slightly, knowing she has nothing she has to offer him then. She was nothing like this mysterious stranger who took her in, clothed and fed her.

"Relax, you need not impress me. If I didn't see something special about you, would have of let you, a cold, wet, naked stranger, into my home? With a little...", again he paused, as he looked away slightly, grinning a toothy smile, "work, we can be the perfect lovers. Dont you think dear?" he gazed into her eyes again, smiling a more sincere smile.

"Yes, of course!" she smiled back at him, and he knew he had her now. He ran a hand across her smooth cheek, then ran it through her hair.

"Come with me love, I long to see you naked once more." he stood up and practically glided into his bedroom, her close behind him. The tow of them slowly stripped of their clothes, embracing eachother next to the bed. As her hands felt along his naked back, she felt something strange find it's way out of his shoulderblades. She slightly jerked away from the kiss, seeing two large bat-like wings potruding from his back. He smiled at her, his fangs easily visible.

"w... What is this!? What are you!?"

"I, my love, am a fallen angel. I am a demon, and you are my prey. I will consume you for sustenance, and know one will miss you. Yes, love, you are just my type." he bellowed with laughter, his head flying back, cackling, bearing his fangs once more.

"I am not your love! Let me out of here, I want to go home!"

"You have no home to go to my dear, your only home was here. Now where can you go? You have no family, no friends, no lover. Except me of course."

"I have God, and I told you I am not your..."

"AM I NOT!", he spat back at her, "I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO TOOK YOU IN, I AM THE ONE WHO FED YOU WHEN YOU WERE STARVING, I AM THE ONE WHO CLOTHED YOU WHEN YOU WERE COLD AND NAKED! I AM YOUR SAVIOUR! NOT GOD, NOR JESUS! ME! ME ME ME!!!"

"... you betrayed me... I... I HATE YOU!" she fell to the floor with a heavy blow from the demon's back hand. He looked down at her, grinning ear to ear, look of evil of intent upon his face.

"Do not make me kill you before I take you into me. Beyond this warning, I will not hesitate, girl!" she looked up at him with absolute hatred in her eyes.

"My name is LILLIAN!" she stood up and smacked him across the cheek as hard as she could, turning around to run. She didn't make a single step before she felt something out of place in her midriff... through her midriff. She looked down to see five sharp claws sticking through her ribcage.

"Well... my name is Bytor, and I do not care what yours is, girl!" he gripped his claws around her ribs, lifting her up. He turned her around to look down on his frightening form.

"Oh Heavenly Father! I fear no evil! I am about to travel through the valley of the shadow of death... Please, take me into your kingdom Lord! I am ready to walk by your side, but please... Do not let this blasphemous beast consume me!" Lillian closed her eyes and screamed, and when she opened them the demon dropped her, he was wincing in pain. She looked down to his leg, and she saw a white dog, with it's powerful jaw wrapped around the Bytor's ankle. Bytor screamed a hellish scream, leaning down, clawing the dog across the torso, but so exposing himself that the snow dog jumped and bit down on the demon's neck, severing his lifeling, causing the demon to fall down, dead, his wings disappearing. Lillian looked over to the dog, who made it's way over to her. The dog laid down next to her, smiling at her, and she returned the smile.

"Thank you..." they both died together, right where they laid, going into the kingdom that was so promised to Lillian.
