Creatures From Hell

Chapter 3 Demon

Shigaraki was startled awake by a loud noise coming from the attic. He sat up in his bed alarmed at the sound. "It's probably just a mouse." The teen said trying to reassure himself. He was just about ready to lay back down when he heard something that sounded like footsteps walking across the wooden floor. A few seconds later he heard the attic door open and the stairs creaking.

Shigaraki grabbed a hold of his phone off his nightstand by his bed. The blue-haired male wasn't sure if he should call Kurogiri for help. He was pretty sure now that someone or something was in the house and heading towards his room. Shigaraki turned his phone on then swiped the lock. If he had to call for help he wanted to be ready. The footsteps grew louder the closer the thing got. Shigaraki was sure the person was wearing boots by how loud the sound was.

"Where are you, Tomura Shigaraki!" A deep voice shouted causing Shigaraki to jump.

The thing that was looking for him opened Shigaraki's bedroom door. In a panic, Shigaraki grabbed the closest thing he could find to use as a make-shift weapon. Shigaraki threw his red tennis shoe at the intruder with as much strength as he could. The shoe connected with the intruder's head as soon as they opened the door.

The intruder let out a yelp as the shoe hit their head. Shigaraki took their surprise as a time to make an escape. He ran past the creature not even bothering to look at it. The teen hurried down the stairs down into the living room with the creature hot on his heels. If he could make it to the neighbor's house and warn them of it breaking in he might be able to get help.

The intruder was clearly determined to stop Shigaraki from leaving at it quickly caught up to Shigaraki. The teen felt a clawed hand grab at his arm. "Let me go!" He shouted at the creature add he tried to pull his arm back. The creature didn't release Shigaraki instead it just gripped his arm tighter. Shigaraki groaned in pain he could feel the creature digging its sharp claws into his bandaged arm.

"I just want to talk, human." The creature said in a deep raspy voice.

Shigaraki finally looked at the creature it looked like something out of a nightmare. It was wearing a black trench coat with stitch patterns, black pants with a similar pattern, black combat boots, black wings were folded on its back, two large horns protruded from its head standing straight up like a goat, its tail was pointed and swayed impatiently like a cat's, black spikey hair framed their face, purple skin was connected to healthy skin by staples, they had several piercings all over their body, the thing that stood out the most to Shigaraki was the piercing blue eyes it had.

Shigaraki's eyes met turquoise blue as he took in the creature's appearance.  "Let go of my arm and I'll talk," Shigaraki said hesitantly he really didn't want to talk to the creature. He heard it give an unamused snort before letting go of Shigaraki's arm. The teen's arm fell to his side he rubbed the wound trying to ease the pain. It stared at Shigaraki making him uncomfortable the teen looked away not wanting to meet the other's gaze.

"Don't try to run away or I will hunt you down got it?" The creature asked it sounded more like a threat than a question to Shigaraki.

The teen nodded he didn't need to make the thing mad, "What do you want?" Shigaraki asked the creature.

"I want to make a deal with you it's the rules after all." It replied Shigaraki was confused now.

'What do you mean?"

"You summoned me by reading that book do you not remember?" The creature asked.

Shigaraki thought back to a few hours ago he had read some strange book... "So, you're telling me I summoned you? Like some kind of demon? You're lying aren't you?" Shigaraki asked the thing had to be lying.

"Yes, do I have to dumb it down for you, princess?" The creature said in a teasing tone. Shigaraki's cheeks heated up at the nickname. It was making fun of him! Shigaraki felt anger rise up within him. He sent the creature a glare who just smirked at him amused in return.

"Shut up I ain't no, princess!" Shigaraki said it just caused the creature's smirk to widen.

"You're right your too ugly to be a princess. Sorry for getting it wrong, sewer rat." The creature said Shigaraki ran towards it trying to punch them. The thing sidestepped making Shigaraki land on the ground face first. It tsked, "You should know better than to take on a demon."

Shigaraki pulled himself to his feet quickly. His eyes widened so, this thing was a demon. He'd summoned a demon somehow. Kurogiri was going to kill him for this. The demon walked towards Shigaraki his face was blank so, Shigaraki couldn't make out what he was thinking. Shigaraki took a step backward panicked he didn't trust the demon. Was he going to hurt him? "Calm down give me your arm." He said he looked at the teen's bandage on his arm.

"Why?" He asked distrustfully. 

The demon sighed, "Do you want your arm healed or not?" Shigaraki looked at the demon shocked he was trying to help him. He hesitantly held his arm out to the demon. A clawed hand grabbed Shigaraki's arm gentler than last time. The demon unwrapped the bandage he stared at the wound a few seconds before putting his hand on it. Shigaraki hissed as pain shot up in his arm he tried to move his arm back but the demon held on. Shigaraki panicked was the demon going to hurt him again? He felt a cool sensation flowing through his arm, the demon concentrated on healing the wound.

When the demon was done Shigaraki looked at his arm the wound was gone. "How?" He asked amazed he stared at his arm not believing it. There had been a wound a few seconds ago and now it was completely gone. Shigaraki hadn't believed in the paranormal but not he wasn't so sure.
