Alistair's face is solemn as we enter my room. He's just standing near the door waiting for something to happen. Touching my shoulders I feel the bruises from Darren's aggressive force, so I suppose I will be wearing nothing but long sleeves for a little while. Walking over toward the mirror I can see that there are marks on my neck from the Grim trying to choke me to death. Make-up will be the best way to go here. But tonight was too much, and I feel uneasy.

Walking over to Alistair I place my hands on his chest, checking once again that the holes in his shirt are no longer accompanied by holes in his skin. He's fine. Not even a scratch.

"My lady?" He questions, his skin trembles under my touch. Did he think I was going to hurt him again?

"I was worried. A Grim can kill you, Alistair." I want to bite my tongue as fast as I said it. I admitted to being worried. "A-After all," I clear my throat, stepping away from him, ", I don't want to train another servant. Too much hassle."

"Of course, my lady." I can't be sure, but he looks somewhat disappointed. As I walk toward the bed and sit on the edge, Alistair starts to make himself comfortable on the floor at the foot of the bed. He was the one more brutally injured tonight and yet he's willing to sleep on the floor.

“Alistair.” I say his name but I don’t know what I’m trying to ask.

“Yes?” He asks.

“You did really well today. I don’t want you sleeping on the floor.”

“With all due respect, my lady, I don’t think I should leave you in hell surrounded by demons when one just tried to kill you.”

“R-Right. I suppose that’s reasonable.” I clear my throat and get myself comfortable under the sheets, but instead of planting myself in the middle of my large bed, I stick to the left. “Very well, but I’m rewarding you for doing well, so you can sleep on the bed. But you have to stay on top of the covers.”

“My lady?” He pokes his head up and stares at me with a curious curve of his eyebrows.

“Don’t make me repeat myself, you know I hate that.” He scrambles himself off the floor so I attempt to hide my grin beneath the red silk covers. I feel the bed move as he lies gently onto the bed with his back toward me. It’s strange, but I wouldn’t mind if he faced me. Alistair is the demon that makes me feel safe.

Alistair is the one I need beside me.
