When The Demons Amidst Her

Chapter 6 Death With Blight

As a kid, Fu Hao always wished to have a happy and good life since being the daughter of Xia Jie. The most powerful but also the cruelest king in Chinese history. But when I was born, Xia Jie was cursed by an angel for doing a very sinful act, for forcing an angel to sleep with him, regardless of knowing she was an angel. The angel gave him the curse of always facing the dreadful side of life.

Xia Jie is the most scoundrels person I have ever seen. When he forcefully made my mother, Fu Jing, marry him. And for that to happen, he not only made fake promises but also said that he would love her, regardless. At that time, I was a mere 11 years old girl with dreams of having the best father.

But my mother didn't know the harsh side of Xia Jie and said yes. After that, Xia Jie beat my mother every night because I was not their original child. I was the child of her ex-husband, who died in an unbelievable accident because of him but forced her to have s*x with him.

The first two months of their marriage were good, and everything went right, but whenever Xia Jie and I would be alone together, I would feel dizzy, and the room would become cold, and I would insects crawling on me. So I started avoiding him. But months after marriage, Xia Jie started showing his evil side to everyone.

He would always beat my mother in front of me to show his power and terror. And he would beat me more often, but once he made the biggest mistake of his life.

My mother and Xia Jie fought for hours because he wanted to keep me as his vixen(female s*x partner) as I'm not his daughter. My mother didn't want me to know all these things going behind me but to save me. My mother has to tell me the truth.

My mother instructed me to stay away from Xia Jie, and so I did. After a week of not showing him my face, I came to my mother's room, as it was my birthday but found, that she was all covered in blood and was naked on the bed. I was stumped.

She was gasping her air and was calling for help, but the voice didn't reach anyone's ear. I could hear someone in the bi ( bi is referred to as the bathrooms in ancient chinses). As my mother turned around and saw me, she tumbled from the bed and fell to cover herself.

Still gasping for air, she reached to me and told me to hide in the cupboard before Xia Jie would come back.

She shoved me into the cupboard and ran to the bed, and hide under it. I was watching everything from the small opening. My father(Xia Jie) came out of the bi furiously, my mother, who tried countlessly to stop him, aggressively threw my mother across the room onto his bed. She was begging him for his mercy for what she has never done.

I was shivering inside the cupboard not because of the weather in china but because of what I saw. Afraid that she would kill my mother, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I covered my mouth with my hands, not letting any amount of word coming out.

Tears fell, meeting the earth, but no one was there to wipe it off. Before even I knew it, my mother was standing on the perk of life and death by Xia Jie. Either she would die by being brutally abused by his husband or live with shame and being abused every day with me.

I couldn't hold myself anymore, watching my mother been abused by my father, I wanted to help her, but I was being tied to the chains of DON'T COME OUT, OR HE WILL DO THE SAME WITH YOU.

The moaning surrounded the whole room and echoed through the hall, but nobody was bothered to look.

I lose all my hope and fell back, giving out a bang on the cupboard. I realized I had made a mistake when Xia Jie opened the door and shoved me out of my hiding place, throwing me on the floor, right in front of my mother.

My mother looked at me with pity and embarrassment, with the wish of being dead and with the desire of saving me. She raised her hands towards me, saying with her faint voice,

"Run, please run away, save yourself!"

"NO!!" I said with tears falling and the breaking of my voice, " I'm not leaving you here alone. We both will run away from here together!"

Just then, someone grabbed my neck from my back, held firmly by my neck, they lifted me to the air. I was gasping for air, and soon I lost the air, and my face started turning blue. My mother was sobbing. She couldn't do anything, just sitting there and watch me lose my everything. Her lower half body was not moving at all. She begged Xia Jie, but he was a monster himself. He dragged me onto his bed by my hair and then threw me on the bed.

I turned around sobbing when he grasped my face with his big hands, pulled me towards his face closely, then- he kissed me on my lips, tightly holding me, my not so strong body trying to get rid of him, so I pushed him away, and he got furious than ever before.

He then jumped on me, tearing away my Hanbok into pieces, leaving me naked on the cold ground.

[Hanbok is the traditional attire of the Korean people.]

My spine got so cold that I couldn't even get up anymore. I looked around for help. I cried, shouted but nobody could listen to me. My mother was crawling towards me when Xia Jie stepped on her, making her unconscious. I called my mother," MA! MAA! PLEASE WAKE UP!"

"Please don't go, please!!" but she didn't wake up.

"Ohh! Shangdi, please help me!! I'm no longer capable of saving myself!!" I had lost all my hopes.

He then took Fu Hao to his secret basement and locked her there for a whole week. She was covering herself with just a piece of sheet, shivering from the cold outside. She couldn't even feel her body anymore.

Later that night, Xia Jie came back and gave Fu Hao some food to only keep her alive, and she ate it without even blinking once.

"Ohh- look at you, so hungry, huh?",

"...." she continued eating until when she started feeling dizzy and fell.

When she opened her eyes, she found her tied by chains. Xia Jie came inside right after she woke up. There was someone behind him, in mid-air flying.

"Who are you?!" Fu Hao asked the stranger.

"Let me introduce myself to you. I'm Azazel", her eyes widened with surprise.

" Y-you a-are a demon?" she asked.

"yes, I am a demon and here for you, Fu Hao."

"What relation do you have with my father?",

"Ohh- he works for me."

"For you?"

"Yeah, he is my servant, Paimon."

"W-what are you saying? He is a human and my father."

"He WAS your father before, not anymore."

"Leave me, please. I need to see my mother."

"Don't worry about her. She is sleeping peacefully", Paimon smirked at me.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing"

Then Paimon punched her stomach with such speed that she started vomiting blood out her mouth and she started suffering to breathe, her spinal cord has almost broken with one hit.

Paimon got close to her and untied her. "Demigod, huh?" he touched her face, and she slapped his cheek.

He laughed, "You still have some strength left?"

"I'm not a demigod! I'm a human."

She panted as she tried getting up, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why are you humiliating me like this!?" She asked him.

"There is yet another very pleasurable way to kill. r**e you and let the blight cover your body, till it kills you", 

[blight: the curse that all the demons hold. When came in contact with a demigod, it produces severe pain and a burning sensation in the whole body. It can be transferred with just a touch. It gets cure by itself as the demigods are the source of purification and if it is a small amount but it takes time. But if it is spread among the whole body, then one can't hold the pain and burn, hence die.]

Fu Hao's eyes widened, " You can't do that to me!! I'm not a demigod."

"Oh yeah? Watch me do it," he got in between her legs. She looked at him hatefully.

"Still got that pride in your eyes, huh?"

Paimon turned towards Azazel, "You don't mind, my lord, if I have some fun?

Azazel smirked, "Of course not. In fact, I'd like to have a show myself"
