Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 3: Back in the Haunted House

*LUKE'S POV*

"Where have you been last night?" Ashton asks me immediately when I walk into the room. "Just walking around, why?" I want to play innocent. "Fuck, Luke. Just tell me you didn't kill one of those kids who were there last night" he starts to yell at me. "Calm down, I didn't kill any of them" I smirk. "Fuck, Lucas. You're a fucking demon. Just tell me where have you been" he keeps yelling at me. "I won't tell you. I don't have to. I'm 18 and I can do whatever I want. It doesn't matter if I'm just walking around or killing people" I yell back at him. "You can't kill whoever and whenever you want! What if somebody will see you? What if people will find us?" Ashton is still yelling at me and I just roll my eyes. "Why not? I can do this if I want to and no one would stop me. If someone would try, I'll kill them too. It's simple. Oh, and if someone will find us, I'll kill them too and I think that Michael would happily help me with it" I say and wink at Michael who sits on the couch as deep as he can. "What Mikey, don't you would love to taste a human blood which your friend Ashton refuses for you to do?" I ask him and he slightly shakes his head. "Lucas stop!" Ashton shouts at me. I just laugh and walk out of the room. If Calum can be outside through the day, I can be too. Besides my eyes flashing into the black there's nothing wrong with me. I look normal. I'm walking down the street. A boy is walking in front of me. "Hey man, I'll take this" I tell him and take his sunglasses. No one will see my flashing eyes now.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

"What's up doll" I twinkle when I hear the voice behind me. I turn around and see him. "What are you doing here?" I ask him and he shrugs. "I was just walking around and I saw you, so I thought I could say hi" he says. "Well, but you didn't say it" I tell him. "Oh, sorry doll. How rude of me. Hi then" he says and smirks. "Hi" I say. I couldn't help myself but I smile. "Don't do this. The fact I didn't kill you last night doesn't mean that I like you" he says and bite his bottom lip on the place where his lips are pierced. "What?" I ask and look on the ground. "Avi" I hear someone's calling and I spot my friends over there. When I look back to Luke he's not there. I look around but I can't see him anywhere. I turn around and my friends are already standing few inches away from me. "Avi" a girl calls and hugs me. "Sorry, I had to take her with me" Sam says and shrugs. This girl is Courtney. Sam's younger sister. "So, when are we going back to that house?" Sam asks and I widen my eyes. "Never" I answer him. "I want to go there too" Courtney says. "We can't. It's too dangerous" I say. "C'mon Avi. It's just an empty house which looks scary" Jordan says. That really surprised me. Last night he was all scared and now he wants to go back. "What if it's not empty? I heard a voice last night. Remember?" I tell them. "Maybe it wasn't even real. Maybe you were just too scared and you imagined it in your head" Lea says. "Wait, don't tell me you too. We can't go back in there" I tell them. "Okay, so we will go there without you" Courtney says. I noticed that she's obsessed with scary things. But what if something will happen to them. I mean, Luke said that something will happen to them if they will go back. I don't want them to get hurt. "So, are you going with us or not?" Sam asks me. "No, but when are you going back there?" I ask. "Tonight. If you will change your mind, you're welcome to join us. You know that. Right?" Sam says and I nod. Why it has to be tonight? If it would be tomorrow, I would have a chance to persuade them to not to go back there. But I'm stuck in the work so I can't.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Looks like someone gets hurt tonight" I whisper in her ear. "No, please, don't hurt them" she begs. "It doesn't depend on me. It depends from the dark angel, vampire, werewolf and my demon side" I explain to her. "No, really, if you didn't kill me last night you don't have to kill them too" she begs again. "I warned you last night about this, but you didn't listen to me. I should kill you instead. Your parents would find you and your friends would hear about it and they wouldn't come back. This is all your fault" I tell her, but the truth is that it's my fault. I should kill her just in the moment when she walked into the room. But no, I wanted to play with her first. I hate myself. "By the way, you promised me that they're not coming back. So, you better should do something about it. You said you'll do whatever I want you to do. Remember?" I say and wait until she nods. When she nods, I continue. "If they will go back there, they will die. And after them you will die too because you didn't keep your promise. Is that clear?" she nods. "Good, so you better go talk to your friends to not to come back there" I tell her and leave.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

What am I going to do? How will I persuade them to not to go back there? They won't listen to me. I can't tell them about him. They would think I'm crazy and scared and I just made it up. Really? Demon? "Guys" I call at my friends when I finally find them sitting in the park. "What? Did you change your mind?" Sam asks me. "No, but you should. It's really dangerous" I tell them. "We're not scared like you" Jordan says. "Really? What changed from last night. Let me remind you that last night you were holding my arm so tight that I thought my bones will break" I spit at him. "Yeah, but we talked about it and nothing can happen to us. It's just an old dark creaky house" he says. "So, are you coming with us or not?" Sam asks me again and I nod. They won't listen to me. They will go with or without me. They will die. I will die. If I can choose, I would rather die with them around me then alone. "Okay, let's go. We will hang around the house and after the sun goes down, we will get inside" Sam says and we start to walk. Great now we're going to spy on that house. Amazing.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Quiet" Calum says. "I think someone's here" Ashton says. "Somebody definitely is here. I smell blood. Human blood. Five different people" Michael whispers. Fuck. They're here and she's with them. "I don't think I can control myself anymore" Michael whispers again. "Then go ahead. Go for what you need, what you want" I tell him. He stands up but he's stopped by a pair of black wings. "He's not going anywhere" Ashton says. "You're not our leader Ashton" I tell him. "You can't keep telling us what to do and what not" I push him back. "You don't get it Lucas, right? If he will suck the blood just from one of them, he won't stop and he will kill the whole town" he says angrily. I roll my eyes and I know something's happening to me so suddenly. The fear. The demon is waking up inside of me and soon enough he will take control over me.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I hear screams from upstairs. "What was that?" Jordan asks. "I think it was Courtney" I answer him. Scream again. I want to run upstairs to help her but then I feel it again. The cold. I feel a cold breath on my face. I take a step back but I still don't get a rid of it. I take few more steps back until the wall doesn't stop me. The cold breath is still on my face. Then it hits me. The vampire. Great. I hope my blood will be tasty for him if I have to really die like this. I never thought about the way how I would want to die, but I really don't want to die on the vampire's bite. Really, no thanks. I feel his face is just inches from mine. I swear I can see his golden eyes in the dark and I would say he just licked his lips. I close my eyes and wait for my end.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Fuck off man, I'll take care of this one by myself" I push Michael away from her and I know he makes his way to the guy who's also in the room. "Luke" she whispers. I take her arm somewhere around the elbow and drag her into the other room. "Stop it, it hurts" she whines. I open the door and throw her into the room. "You should think about it before you came" I lock the door behind me. "I warned you. Not just once. You didn't listen to me. What am I supposed to do with such a bad girl like you?" I sigh. "Please, help my friends" she stands up and begs. "No. Forget about it" I push her back to the ground. "So, what should I do with you?" I ask myself loud. She stands up again and runs over to the door but I catch her around her waist and pull her back. I push her backwards to the wall. I slightly press her against it. "I swear that you will regret this" I whisper in her ear. I come closer to the window and open it. "Go" I order her but she doesn't move. "Go until I don't change my mind. And stay away from me" I tell her and she runs over to the window, jumps out of it, looks at me and then run away.

I walk out of the room. "That's enough" I shout at the whole house so everyone in it can hear me. "Let them go. I don't think they will come back after this" I shout and I hear steps and heavy breathing. They try to rush out of the house. I walk back in the room and look out of the window. I'm looking at four kids struggling. I smirk. They won't come back after this night. They would be stupid if they would. "Where's the fifth one?" I hear Ashton's voice behind me. I roll my eyes. "Don't worry, I took care of her" I tell him. "What the fuck did you do?" he shouts. "Nothing, just calm down" I tell him. "Lucas, what did you do to her?" he asks angrily and turns me to face him. "Don't worry, she's fine" I tell him and leave him standing there.
