"Maia." father called.
"I'm s-sorry...I n-need to go..." she muttered. "I'll be back at the school if you ne-need me.."
Grabbing her ears, she ran until she went into the depths of the forest.
"G-go away!" she exclaimed, huddling at the foot of a large oak.
"Maia. I know you're here." he said, appearing in front of her.
She kicked at the figure. "Leave m-me al-alone!"
He reached forward and stroked her cheek. "You've been touched." He pulled his hand back, scowling.
Grabbing her, he smiled. "I found you, thanks to your little friends."
He held the squirming girl close. "What's his name? Ah, that's right. Kuro. I'll leave a good note to Lucifer for him."
Maia elbowed him, forcing him to let go.
He rubbed the spot painfully. "What happened to my princess? Did she leave me?"
He grinned evilly. "No. She's still mine."
Yanking her arm, he sank his teeth in her flesh, making her scream in pain.
As he wiped his mouth, a black tattoo began to collect on her skin.
"Just for you, Maia." he grinned. "It'll glow red when I return."
As he began to fade, he smiled. "I'll leave a note for Uncle about you. He'll be pleased with you."
He disappeared into the sky.
Whimpering, Maia sank onto the floor, tears flowing onto her cheeks.
"Why?" she sobbed. "Why me?"
