"Woah. Boys, look at this one. Isn't she just perfect?" I turn around and see some human boys checking me out. What are they even doing in the woods?

 I can't even make eye contact with any of them. My breath closes up in fear. I have never been good at confrontations. Even at school, there was always someone better. No one ever flirted with me. 

"You're very beautiful baby. Ever heard that before?" I don't know what to say. I start to take a step back, but they keep going forward. I am so scared that I start to whimper a bit. I feel one of their hands caress my face and I close my eyes. 

Suddenly the hand moves away. I open my eyes and see a vine holding that hand. Aakil emerges through the shadows and his eyes are black. Suddenly his tentacles gets longer and start choking all of them while the others rest along my waist, bringing me closer to him. 

I am behind Aakil with my eyes closed while I hear strange sound of bones cracking. I shake in fear. Suddenly, I am pulled in front Aakil. "MINE! My mate!!" Crap it's Aakil's demon. What do I do?

 "Um hi! Yes I am your mate." I slowly hold his hands. His eyes seem to close as he purrs? He opens his eyes and they are red. He's back. He wraps his hand around my waist and pulls us deeper into the woods.

We walk in silence. "Aakil?" His head snaps to me as if he was deep thought. "Yes, darling?" 

"Um..d-did you kill them?" His eyes darken as he looks away. 

"Yes." He gritted his teeth. I fear a tingle of fear run inside of me. Thankfully my phones saves me as it dings. 

My face brightens as I see a text from Zain. 

'Baby, where r u? Why aren't you responding to my texts?'  I quickly text back. 

'I am fine. I am in the woods right now. I have no service sometimes.' 

'Fine. But when you come back, I am never letting you go.' 

Aakil snatched it from my hands. "No! My phone!" Aakil scrolls through the text while his tentacles keep my hands away. He roars loudly. Not again!

After calming him down and saying that Zain was only worried about me, I managed somehow convince him. Only when I played music from my phone was when he forgot. 

I played 'Heyahe' by One. It's a Korean song that I am in love with. I knew the lyrics and my face kept heating up, but Aakil was just confused. I will show him the lyrics later. 

We reached some spot in the woods. He climbed on one of the branches and then practically carried me next to him. I still had wifi. Ok, so now I will show him the song. I played the lyrics and watched his face. His facial expressions were hilarious. First it was angry then shocked and angry again. It kept going in a loop.
