The Fight of the Demon Lord (Demon Lord's Life) by Red Angel

up in front of her and made my move. I came up behind the rear guard and shoved a knife into his neck and shot a fire ball at the second. They were trying to get past my shield. I pulled out my sword and it extended to full length. I fought a few of the guards I cut them down and blood flew everywhere. Shit how many of these guys were here. I cut down the last, but my shield had failed. I grabbed the one carrying Azure and snapped his neck hearing a loud crack. I grabbed Azure she seemed to be unharmed.
    “ Dream go after Fara and Savarea, help the wounded, and find one of those things that is alive and make sure it stays like that.”
    “ Yes sir,” they both said rushing off.
    I looked into Azure’s mind and helped her wake up. I opened a portal and brought her to my room. It seemed from the monitors that the humans had been secured in the holding area. The dead were already cleaned up. More vampires had arrived. I saw Sandy with them and she was giving orders. I laid Azure on my bed as she began to wake up. Azure was moving her mouth. I got her some water and she sipped it as I saw her eyes begin to open.
    “ I hope it is cool enough Azure.” She leaned up on the bed. “Are you going to be alright tell me what happened at your house?” I leaned up against the bed frame and settled my head on a pillow.
    “ I have a bit of a head ache, but I am fine, the water helped a lot. I hope not to many people are hurt.”
    “ You lost most of your people when I saw you Fara was trying to abduct you with the attackers she was leading.”
    “ That bitch! She is so fired! But from what I recall she called me to my room to talk. But when I arrived she was not there, just a gift wrapped box signed with your name it looked like your handwriting. So I opened it, when I did, I was knocked out by some kind of concussive blast. I heard Fara enter the room with some people and that is when the alarm went off and I heard all of the screaming. She had a lot more help with her than I did security, it is no wonder she knew all of my security plans. Even the emergency ship we keep housed under the back yard for an emergency she probably wanted to take me away on it. I had my people keeping a closer eye on her lately she seemed after Demonica to not be taking to our arrangements very well, and she kept saying getting involved with me was a bad idea. But I told her I did not want to hear it. She just started acting quiet after that keeping to herself I really don’t know what got into her but I think she wanted to start a war or something.”
    Dream came into the room at this point I waived for Azure to rest for a bit longer. “What do you have to report Dream?”
    “ Sir it seems she was trying to start a war with us by triggering the alarm and killing her own people with outside help we have identified them as mercenaries. They would do anything for the right price. The one we got to talk said they are to take Azure to a deserted space station and hold her until war had been declared by both sides. Then Fara would launch a rescue and be a hero by bringing Azure home for you thus justifying the war. We found plenty of planted evidence that would point the finger at us as the ones who took her.”
    “ Never mind that Dream did you capture Fara I need to know we have her?”
    “ No sire we did not get her, she vanished. We found evidence that a craft landed and she boarded it she is no longer on this planet I am sure of that and she will be hunted by both sides for her betrayal.”
    “ I understand I want you to activate Protocol Green Dream. Please see to it that from here on out all orders for our forces will come from either Azure or me. In our stead I am leaving Dariea in charge when we cannot be there to make any decision ourselves I want someone I can trust and she is the one, now please notify her.” I looked back at Azure, “Are you sure we can trust her honey, what about Samual?”
    “ I am not sure of him yet Drake but
