Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Scary Pale One

The bronze-skinned girl, already squarely planted on her behind, crawled back a few more steps with her breath catching in her throat. Her hand lifted to her mouth, trembling. The sound of Kaiden’s fists meeting flesh echoed in her head, each dull thud feeling heavier than the last. She had thought the strange catwoman with tanned skin was the only monster among them.

But now...

Her eyes darted to Kaiden. His arms looked carved from iron, his veins dark with that living red glow of the Gauntlet. The stench of monster blood clung to him. He looked like something born from the same nightmare as the beasts they were fighting.

’Another monster...!!’

Were they all monsters?

Her chest tightened. The edges of her vision blurred. She didn’t know if she wanted to scream or cry or simply wake up somewhere else. Her heart pounded so hard she could feel it in her throat.

Then another roar split through the battlefield. Kaiden and the others turned as one, moving toward the last Ravager.

The girl could only watch as they finished the job.

By the time the last Ravager hit the dirt, her face had gone ghostly pale. She didn’t dare move.

...

Kaiden turned toward the sound of movement. The bronze-skinned girl yelped all of a sudden, releasing a small, startled sound that broke through the now quiet battlefield.

Her wide eyes darted up at him before she tried to crawl backward again, only to bump into a broken root and fall flat.

The glow in Kaiden’s arm began to fade. The dark veins receded, and his exterior returned to its usual tone. The monstrous sharpness in his expression softened until nothing about him looked demonic anymore. He was just a tired, blood-covered man trying not to scare the survivor in front of him.

He moved toward the girl slowly, trying not to appear threatening, before kneeling down. "Hey. It’s okay now. You’re safe. You speak English, right? Do you understand me?"

That only made her panic more.

The girl’s hands slammed onto the ground as she dropped to all fours, pressing her forehead into the dirt. "Please don’t eat me!" she shouted with her voice breaking into a squeak by the end. "I’ll be quiet! I’ll do anything, just don’t eat me!"

Kaiden blinked. "What?"

Behind him, Luna groaned. "Great. You made an innocent girl cry."

Nyx laughed softly at the sight of a Native American teenage girl breaking into tears at the mere sight of her awesome boyfriend.

Though the Space Valkyrie had to admit, he was one scary sight right now.

When she spoke, her tone was light and warm. "You really do have that wild-man effect, Kai," she teased while stepping beside Kaiden. Her knees touched the dirt as she crouched next to him. "Hey, little one," she said gently, "no one’s going to hurt you."

Hearing the beyond-tender tone with which she spoke, the girl risked a peek upward on instinct and instantly froze.

Her breath hitched when she saw Nyx’s face. The elders had told her what the Pale Ones were supposed to be like: cruel, hungry eyes; mouths that smiled only when taking. They were said to be the kind of people who stole land and blood both.

But Nyx didn’t look hungry. Her pink hair caught the sunlight, and her expression carried none of that fabled cruelty. Her eyes held warmth, a softness that didn’t fit the stories at all.

The girl’s trembling slowed. She blinked once, unsure, then again, this time longer.
