For now

"My husband will find me. Then he'll kill you for taking me." Ana hissed back at Sitri. As much as she felt a small amount of arousal, she couldn't allow herself to think that her end was near, or that Aron would not find her or fail in the attempt to rescue her.

"Think what you will my dear. Just know this, I have no intention of causing you physical harm. As a matter of fact, I want you to be happy in your new life..."

"HAPPY. You've kidnapped me and are taking to god knows where. If I still had my powers." Ana stopped short of finishing her sentence. mainly down to conflict on how to.

"Forget that you no longer have your gifts Ana." He softly replied to her, so softly that she looked at him with confusion. "I repeat, I have no intention of harming you. So, instead of this ridiculous tirade. Why don't you and I talk for a while."

"Talk. First you kidnap me and now you want to try and be friends. You disgust me."

"Not friends Ana. I just want to relieve the tension between us. You need to eat and sleep, so I just want to help you relax and allow your body to recover from today's events." Then to Ana's surprise. "Please, tell about yourself."

Ana was rather taken aback from the please and soft tone of Sitri's voice. She studied him for a short time. Handsome, despite the red skin, tall and muscular. But no horns or wings that you would normally expect to see on a demon. His eyes, even glowing red had an appearance of understanding and sympathy. Ana allowed herself to relax and took in a deep breath. "What do you want to know?"

"How did you end up becoming a priestess of Liru. I know that all they do is pray to her and spend a life of solitude until called upon. Also, I know that the lives of those that serve in her temples are one of total servitude to her. They must remain pure or they lose their powers, although I do have gaps in my knowledge."

Ana didn't reply straight away. She just looked at Sitri for a short time. "Very well then, Sitri. You are correct we spend all our lives in the temple unless we have been tasked to help another defeat an evil **** such as yourself. Also, you are correct that we lose our powers if we lose our purity. Liru, Although those outside of the temple call her Luna, Is the moon goddess. It is her ability to travel between the light and the dark that gives us our strength to fight against any and all evil. As for how I ended up in the temple. My parents died when I was very young. So I ended up in the temple as an orphan. I have no memory of my parents."

Sitri looked down slightly." I'm sorry about your parents. Must have been hard on you at the start."

"I can't remember that far back." A tear flowed down her cheek. "I don't even remember what they look like."

Sitri took pity on Ana. Something he was not used to doing. "I can see that it still pains you. We demons don't have the same bond to parents like you humans do. And we are called spawn, not children. But we do know what love is. We have the same basic emotions as your species. So do Angels. All 3 of us are not much different from each other in that regard."

"I'm surprised by that." Ana replied. She was starting to feel a little more at ease, even considering she was here against her will. "So tell me. Why don't you look like you should do. Horns and bat wings, no spaded tail either. What happened to you, or is it something you chose to look like?"

Sitri let out a small laugh. "**** in it at all my dear Ana. I look like I do because of living in this realm. For me to to regain my true form, I must take a bride. But she must be willing to be my bride. Your animosity towards me condemns me to stay in this from. I know that you are not willing to be my bride, but I will not **** myself upon you. Again, I won't harm you. You will be treasured and treated as a queen by my loyal subjects." Sitri allowed his words to sink in. Hoping that it will be the start of Ana's downfall. He know that he would have to make her except him as a mate to become his former true full demon and regain his full powers. "Anyway, It looks like our dinner is ready. I hope you enjoy it. I haven't cooked for a very long time."
