Description

"We need to get out of here. It isn't safe," You tell Nami and Zoro when you and Robin found them in one of the living rooms.

"Six minutes until the next attack," Law informs. You give him a look. "We like to time things..." He explains with a slight shrug.

"I'm all for that, but we need to find the others." Nami says, hugging Robin in relief.

"I'll go find them, you guys wait here together," You tell them.

"But you just said it wasn't safe, you can't go off alone." Nami objects.

"She'll be fine," Zoro comments.

"And something tells me she won't be alone," Robin agrees, giving you a smile. You blink and raise an eyebrow before smirking.

"Yeah, I'm in good hands." You muse before running down the hall, not seeing the grin that came to Law's face when you said that.

"Five minutes," He tells you.

"Got it, think you can help me out?" You ask quietly. Law pauses, glancing around.

"I can't sense any near by," He murmurs.

"They must be deeper inside the mansion," You mutter turning down another hall. "Luffy! Sanji!" You call. Something snapping over head makes you flip back swiftly, narrowly dodging the chandelier. You let out a breath at the closeness before running pass it as Law glares up at the demon.

"Don't drop things on my human Dellinger," He snarls. You continue running down the hall. You glance into the rooms as you pass, occasionally calling for them. Law keeps up glancing around carefully.

"Anything yet?" You ask, glancing at him.

"Over there," He breathes, nodding in some direction. "Ten seconds," He adds. You grit your teeth and try to speed up, silently counting down. Time was up before you reached the kitchen and crashing plates meet your ears. You run into the kitchen to find Sanji and Chopper hiding behind a tipped over table.

"Oh! More fun!" The demon growls, throwing dishes at you. You swiftly duck behind the wall, jumping slightly when knife pierces the wall next to your head. You glance at yourself in it's reflection.

"Damn Apoo!" Law snarls. You take out your prayer beads and go back into the kitchen, reciting a loud prayer.

"Oi! OI!!" The demons object but vanish. You relax and Sanji tackle hugs you.

"___~ Be careful! It's dangerous!" He gasps.

"This place is scary!" Chopper cries, hugging your waist.

"That's exactly why we're leaving, Nami and Zoro are in the living room down the hall, Im going to go get Luffy and Usopp." You tell them.

"I'll go with you," Sanji offers.

"Sanji, I'll be fine, but Nami and Robin are scared, they were attacked earlier," You tell him. He lights up and takes off down the hall.

"I'm coming ladies~~!" He calls.

"H-hey! Wait for me!" Chopper cries, running after him swiftly. You frown uneasily once they're gone, that prayer had sent Law away too.

"I need to hurry," You breathe, taking off down another hall. Another crash sounds ahead.

"Luffy!" Usopp cries out upstairs. You grit your teeth and run up the stairs. A step breaks under one of your feet and you fall forward.

"Shit!" You gasp. A tail wraps around your waist and stops your fall. You glance down to see a furry fire colored tail. You tense it wasnt Law's.

"Easy human," A voice breathes as the tail carefully releases you. You swiftly continue up the steps without looking back.

"Thank you!" You gasp, aware of the demon's eyes watching after you calmly. You dash down another hall. "Luffy!" You call.

"___!" Usopp calls back.

"I'm coming!" You shout.

"___-Ya!" Law gasps, suddenly beside you. You glance at him. "You need to hurry."

"Can't you see me running?" You huff. He blinks and you give him a slight smirk. "Welcome back, I missed ya," You add. His ears flicker about and his tail wags.

"Did you?" He inquires with a sheepish smile. You chuckle at his cute response but your smile falls when you reach the room Usopp and Luffy was in. Usopp was hiding behind a table with Luffy who was laying dazed next to him, blood trickling from a gash on his head.

"Luffy!" You gasp as Eustass grabs the table and tosses it behind him, making Usopp yelp. The red haired demon looks over and smirks as you run over to check on Luffy.

"He got hit by a chair! I'm scared ___!" Usopp tells you, holding onto Luffy.

"Calm down, take him down stairs, the others will be waiting," You tell him.

"W-what about you?" He asks. You give a soft smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be right down," You assure. He nods and runs out with Luffy. As soon as they were gone, Law's and Eustass' eyes start to glow red.

"___-ya?" Law murmurs quietly. You turn to the other demon, hands clinched into fists as you start toward him. The red haired demon blinks in surprise when your fierce gaze looks into his red eyes.

"What the-- Ah! Shit!!" He cries out as you grasp one of his horns, making him fall to a knee, red eyes becoming reddish brown, suddenly looking very human. You lean over into his face, glaring into his eyes.

"I don't care if you're dead, a demon, or an angel... Don't you dare hurt my friends!" You snarl, pulling back on arm. Your fist connects with his nose and you feel a crack before his horn slips from your grasp and he goes flying back into the wall. Law stood in awe, jaw dropped in shock. Eustass sits up, holding his bleeding nose. He glances down at the blood in his hand before looking back at you.

"W-what are you?" He questions. You relax, meeting his gaze.

"Screwed..." You huff before dashing out. Law is beside you in an instant. "Please tell me I didn't just hit a demon," You whisper.

"But you did," He says. You give him a look. "Oh, you wanted me to lie..." He realizes. "You didn't just hit a powerful demon," He corrects. A nervous laugh escapes you.

"Gee, thanks Law," You huff, jumping down the stairs and continuing down the hall.

"No problem," He says, unaware of your sarcasm. You just chuckle and turn a corner sharply, colliding into someone's bare chest. You fall on your butt, holding your nose. You glance up, meeting glowing fiery orbs. Law freezes next to you.

"C-Commander Ace!" He gasps. You feel your blood run cold, so this was the demonic commander. Ace suddenly crouches, making you flinch involuntarily. His fire colored tail swishes slowly and brushes against your cheek softly. His argali type horns seemed to contain flames in them the way they glowed. Though you were absolutely horrified, one word left your lips.

"Beautiful..." He tilts his head at the word.

"You can see and hear me? How strange... I was sure I imagined it earlier," He comments, he reaches out and moves a lock of hair behind your ear. "You should leave with your friends now," He adds, picking you up with his tail and setting you on your feet. He stands up and releases you before turning away. "I never seen you today Trafalgar," He adds before walking away. You admire his fiery wings for a bit, releasing the breath that you had been holding. Law grabs your hand.

"Lets get out of here."

"Oh, okay... Then where will we sleep?" Luffy asks, rubbing his bandage.

"We could just stay in an inn for the night," Zoro replies. Your group had escaped the mansion and stopped in a park to discuss what to do now.

"____, doesn't your uncle live near by?" Nami asks.

"No," You say sternly. They blink at your tone.

"Nevermind.... I guess we'll go to an inn then," She sighs.

"Alright, lets go," You says, starting to get up.

"Fufu, ___, is that you?" A voice behind you asks. You swallow and turn around to meet the tall blond's smile.

"Hi uncle Doffy."
