Chapter 2
Find Alice
I am the Demon King. A being that all life fear, even the other gods saw me as threat. And now here I am in a girl body playing with a bunch of toy blocks.
It’s been a couple of hours since I found myself stuck in this body. It gave me plenty of time to calm down and analyze my current situation. I even manage to come up with a theory on how I got trap inside this human body. The spell that the hero hit me with, must’ve weaken me, to the point that I couldn’t recreate my body. So left with no choice I took over a body that was nearest to me. It’s not like I’m trap in this body, I could just simply kill myself and I’ll be able to escape out of this body. But if my theory is correct, and I was weaken to the point that I needed to take shelter in a little girl body just to survive, then I doubt I’m immortal anymore.
“Having fun?” Standing next to me was a woman with long violet red hair, wearing a plain white long sleeve blouse, and a long black skirt. “You mind if I join?” Before I could said anything the woman sat down next to me and started to gather blocks.
Right, another problem I have, this woman sitting next to me her name is Deborah, and she is the mother of the kid I took over. Poor thing doesn’t know her real daughter is gone now. I’ll have to make sure it stays like that, at least until I find a way out of this predicament.
“Annnd done.” The woman said as she put the final block on top of the stack, creating a simple little tower. Amateur, she lacks imagination. Her tower can easily be knock down. Unlike mines’ which is surrounded by walls. The blocks inside the walls were my demon guards, making sure no intruder could sneak in. I love to see a foolish human try to make their way into my castle. Just as I was admiring my own creation my “father” comes out nowhere and knocks all my blocks down. My castle!! It was destroy again. I drop my head in defeat.
“Oops, didn’t see you there Anna.” He said while dropping down a stack of logs by the fireplace.
“James, you destroy her tower!” Turning towards me the man notice my dejected face.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
“And she work so hard on it.” Picking me up, he brought me to his eye level.
“I’m sorry Anna, can you forgive me?” I turn my head away from him, refusing his apology. “I know, if I let you light the fire, will you forgive me then?” Reaching into his pocket, he pulls out a red crystal that’s shape like a marble.
“You can’t let her use something like that dangerous!” The woman shouted in protest.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be guiding her the whole time.” Giving me the crystal, he held my hand guiding it towards the fireplace.
“Alright, now toss it.” Letting go of the marble, it flies straight into the fireplace. A small spark goes off from the marble igniting the wood.
“See, You worry too much.”
“Excuse me if I don’t want our daughter to burn her hand off.” She said while snatching me from the man arms.
“Relax, you know I would never do anything that would hurt our daughter. Look she manage, to light the fireplace on her own, isn’t that impressive?” A smile radiate on the man face.
You’re seriously not going to fall for that smile that are you?
“I well I guess it was kind of impressive.” the woman said.
Oh c'mon, you can’t be that easy.

The sun was nearly gone, watching the fire burn, I found myself hug between the two parents. I swear spent more time in these guys’ arms than I ever did on the ground. But I can’t say that it isn’t relaxing. With the sun gone, the fire was the only thing giving off light in the house. The warmth that these two was giving off plus watching the fire dance around, made me sleepy. I found it harder and harder to keep my eyes open.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“She falling asleep. I’ll take her back to her room.”
I open my eyes to find myself back in the baby crib. “Sorry did I wake you up?” The mother said, look like she was getting ready to leave the room. “I guess I should you read you a story.” She headed for the bookshelf. “AH, I heard this was your favorite story.” Sitting down next me, she open the book and started to read.
“The Demon King Demise.” Oh boy, I can already tell I’m going to hate this story. “The Demon King, was a wicked man, who would sneak into children rooms and feed on their dreams.
That book making me sound like I’m a pervert. “Unable to do anything, the humans watch in horror as the demon king tormented their children. “Until one day, a hero wielding a holy sword defeated him.” I really hate being reminded of my embarrassing defeats. But this kid book might actually explain what happen to me. “The stubborn Demon King refuse to admit defeat. The Demon King, wage an endless war against the world and their hero. No matter how many times the Demon King was vanquish he would always come back. That is until a new hero finally found the way to put him down for good.”
I sat up and listening even more closely to every word the woman was saying, I didn’t want to miss one detail. “The new hero challenge the Demon King in a one on one duel.” Bullshit, that guy had an entire army, and even then they barely manage to beat me. The battle was intense but the hero manage to do what no other hero could, he kill the Demon King, but at cost of his own life. And so the hero sacrifice himself so that the Demon King could never be resurrected, The End.’ The woman close the book and gave me a smile.
What the hell, that was it?! It didn’t even explain how he killed me! I drop my head down in disappointment. “You don’t need to be afraid he can’t hurt you.” Looking up the woman was still smiling at me. I guess she thought my disappointed face, was a face of fear. “That battle happen two hundred years ago, so it safe to say that he won’t be coming back. And even if he come backs he’ll have to deal with me before he even thinks about hurting you. Her tone got a little serious at the end. Almost scared me…almost. “That story was a little dark, let me find something a little more light-hearted.” Getting up, she went back to the bookshelf.
Two hundred years past huh? I think that’s the longest I ever stayed dead. Goes to show that attack he hit me with was no joke. I was foolish to think a child story would help me out, they didn’t even accurately describe the battle. That guy brought an entire army of knights to fight me. Well everyone ended up dying, I guess that something you don’t want to add in a children story.
“…” Wait there was a survivor. I remember there was a girl who stayed by hero side, I think she manage to escape. Remembering the little girl, I found myself trying to remember every small detail about her. Right, her name was Alice. If I remember correctly she seem to know what spell he was using. I remember her begging him not use. And she was an elf. That’s perfect, elves are known for their long life spans, there’s a chance she still alive now. If find her I might be able to regain my immortality back. Well looks like I got a plan. A crooked smile appear on my face. I just need to find the elf name Alice.
