The Demonark: The Blood Curse
4.4: Incident

" Necklace? "

Carmen looked at the five friends and handed them the silver necklace. The silver necklace with a jewel in blue is now in the hands of his five friends.

" This is the necklace my friend gave me. "

" Is so. Here, we give it back. " Nick returned the necklace to Carmen.

" It's late enough, you should go to sleep. I'll drop you off. " Nick got up and grabbed Carmen by the hand.

" Uh? Okey... See yes, guys. "

Nick and Carmen walk together to Carmen's dormitory with their hands tied together to the front of Carmen's dorm room.

" Thank you Nick. See you tomorrow.. "

Carmen turns around, but is held back by Nick's hand. He turned to the blond man.

" Morrow.. Will you go to the square? Ber... Akh's.. " Nick seems to be composing words while staring at the ceiling. Her hand still didn't come off Carmen's wrist.

" I'll ask the others too. But... Will you go to the square tomorrow? Being together? "

Carmen lowered her face, looking once the woman's face turned red. He looked at Nick and nodded.

" I want to! "

" all right... See you tomorrow, Carmen. "

Nick smiled and turned his back, as did Carmen, who turned her back and went into her room.

4.4: Incident

In the morning, Carmen appeared in the square in her casual clothes. Jeans with a small sling bag in red, as well as a white shirt with a light brown jacket in his wear. It looks weird but that's what Carmen wears.

" Carmen!! Sorry to wait so long? " Nick waved at Carmen and walked over.

" No way. I just got here... " Carmen smiled at Nick and his friends.

Nick was wearing a black shirt and a black jacket and jeans. Hair in her usual style. And a sweet smile was imprinted on Nick's lips.

Brian wore jeans in a white shirt that he covered with a black jacket. He seems more friendly than usual.

Howie was wearing a dark blue shirt with jeans. Different than usual. Alex was wearing a black suit with cargo pants. Alex is quite striking with his current appearance. Kevin was wearing a brown shirt with gray pants. Kevin looks fresher with his current appearance.

" Where do we start? " Howie brought herself closer to Carmen.

" You want some ice cream? " Kevin smiled sweetly, his hand pointing to an ice cream vendor nearby.

" Sure! "

Everyone bought ice cream and went around the square while eating their ice cream. One by one they came to the square.

" You want to go there? " Brian pointed to a tower that was quite close to them.

" Want!! "

" Wait a minute then. I'll buy us a ticket. " Brian ran a little towards the counter near there.

Carmen smiled, she was still struggling with her vanilla ice cream that had not run out since.

" Fun? " Nick, who was sitting next to Carmen, looked at the woman.

Nick's blond hair is blown by the wind, making Nick look more and more... Cooly? A handsome? Maybe both.

" Yes... "

Carmen lowered her head and chose to struggle again with her ice cream. His face looked flushed red, making Kevin and the others chuckle softly.

When everyone smiled, Howie's face changed. It was as if sensing a danger sign or something.

" eum.. Carmen? We have a little business. Wait here yes... " Nick smiled briefly, his hand stroking Carmen's long hair then leaving Carmen.

" Please promise you'll stay here. " Kevin stretched out his hand, making a little promise with Carmen.

" I promise. "

\*\*\*\*\*

It's been 30 minutes Nick and the others haven't come. And Carmen's still waiting for them on the square seat. Faithfully waiting.

" Come... Or not... Come... Or not... " Carmen is now struggling with his decision.

He was worried that if he came, they would come back here. But, if he waited, what if something happened to them?

" Nick? Brian's? Kevin's? Howie's? Alex? " Carmen walked around slowly, he called his comrades, hoping they would reply to his speech.

Until someone pulls Carmen's hand into a small alley. Carmen immediately slammed and kicked the person.

Seen someone with a black hoodie, hoodie cover his face, even though it looks so bright red eyes.

" What the fuck- "

" GRAAOOO!!! "

Carmen turned around and was about to run, but that person was too fast. The man pulled Carmen's hand and grabbed her.

" let go! "

Carmen thrashed, trying to break free. Now the man strangled his neck and held himself against the wall at the end of the alley.

" June... Nick... Whosoever... Justjust please.. " Carmen muttered softly, her hand that was holding the person's hand to stop choking him was now slowly squeezing.

Carmen's face was deathly pale at this moment. It was as if his energy was completely exhausted. Not because of the giggles, like... His energy was sucked out by that person.

BUKK!!!

" How dare you... "

Nick stood in front of Carmen, standing facing the person with both of his hands clenched tightly and a sharp gaze.

" Are you okay, Carmen? "

Billy, the blue-haired man Carmen first met in the field, is Nick's friend. Billy stood next to Carmen and carried her bridal style.

" GRAAAKKKHH!! "

" wuck.. "

Nick pulls the man's hand away from Billy and Carmen, while Brian, Alex, Howie, Chris and Kevin immediately hit the man from behind.

" That girl... Carmen Elizabeth Avery's... Leave it to us... "

Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howie, Alex, Billy and Chris stare in shock at the person. Carmen? They're targeting Carmen? Wh why?

" Range... Looks like we have to do something.. " Billy who was still carrying Carmen was now staring around. There are a lot of red-eyed people like their opponents.

" Billy, get Carmen all the way from here! " Howie exclaimed, he dodged all attacks while continuously attacking.

" What about you guys?! "

" We'll take care of that here... Protect Carmen first... "

Billy stared at his six friends, holding Carmen tightly and into a bright blue portal behind him. Teleportation.

Carmen who is still in Billy's arms just holds Billy tightly. Carmen immediately exclaimed to Billy.

" rub... I'm bit... Nausea... "

" Close your eyes... It'll be a little nauseous, hang on in a minute.. "

Carmen closed her eyes, while Billy immediately raised the two of them on the other side of the square quickly. Then take Carmen down from her carrier.

" Are you still nauseous? " Billie stared worriedly at Carmen who was now seen withstanding nausea.

" I'm fine... Thank you, Billy.. "

Billy approaches Carmen, the man's hand now clinging to Carmen's cheek. The man's mouth murmured. I don't know what he muttered.

" Still nauseous? "

" It's not like that... I don't know what you were doing, but.. Thank you again. " Carmen looked down and smiled, until he realized the look on Billy's face that seemed worried about his friends.

" You go there, accompany Nick and the others. " Carmen smiled and held Billy's hand.

" What about you? "

" I'm fine. Go, Billy. "

Billy was confused. Which choice is right for him? Carmen continues to reassure the man and Billy eventually re-elects and helps his friends.

" I have to be in the middle of the square.. " Carmen walked quickly towards the middle of the square. At least a lot of people, so that red-eyed person could not attack him.

" Huft's... Finally many.. " Carmen sat herself in the chair, sighing in relief.

" Not seen each other in a long time, Carmen. "
