Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 30: Immortal

*LUKE'S POV*

I wrap my hands around the girl washing dishes from behind her. I place a light kiss on her neck and breathe in her scent. "Hey young man. Stop distracting her from washing the dishes. You're both young, you have so many years in front of you" her dad speaks to me and I pull my hands back to my body and take a step back from her. "Yes sir" I mumble and nod. Well, while we're talking about years, I will never change. I'll still look like an 18 years old boy. While she won't. As a demon, I gained immortality. I was thinking about an idea to ask Michael to change her to vampire, but I don't want her to be a vampire. But actually, it's the only solution. I don't know what I'm gonna do about this. I have to figure this out. If I have to stuck here forever, then I wanna be stucked here with her.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I'm looking at the tall boy with blonde hair. He looks wistful. I wonder what is he thinking about. I know it's something serious, because he looks really focused on this. Should I cut his thoughts off? "What are you thinking about?" I ask him finally and wrap my arms around his waist. He wraps his arm around my shoulders and slightly shakes his head. "No, Luke. What's going on? Just tell me" I beg. "It's nothing doll. Don't care about that" he says quietly, which is totally unusual. Should I be worried?

*LUKE'S POV*

Fuck. I didn't want her to notice that I'm thinking about something. I want to tell her, but I don't know how. I don't know when. What am I supposed to tell her? 'Hey, listen doll. Guess what? I'm immortal. Guess what? You're not. So, what now? Do you wanna be immortal too or not? Because if not, I guess I have to leave. If yes, you probably have to become a vampire, because honestly, that's the only way how you can become immortal.' Yes, that's definitely great idea Lucas. Fuck this. I definitely don't want her to be a demon. One demon is enough. Even if I would want her to be a demon, I don't know how am I supposed to change her into one. Whatever. It doesn't even matter what I want. What if she's gonna say she doesn't want to be immortal? Then I'll have to leave. I don't wanna leave her here. But if she would want to stay a human, I can't make her change her mind. It's up to her and I have to respect her decisions, no matter if I like them or not. It's her life, not mine. I'm just a part of her life and she's part of mine.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I start to worry. Luke acts totally different than he used to. He seems thinking a lot in the past few days. I know he's hiding something, I know he has a secret. I don't know what it is and I really don't want to push him to tell me, because if I would, he could become demon again and I really don't want this. Or do I? Maybe I liked the last time I spent with his demonic version. I mean, he wasn't that bad and honestly, I really enjoyed what he did to me. Is that weird? Maybe, but it's true. I kinda miss that demon. I mean, it was different and maybe more exciting. Yeah, Luke is sweet and everything, and I feel he's trying really hard to make me happy and he tries to making me feel loved and I really appreciate it, but maybe I need some excitement, some adventure and wilderness in this relationship. And that's exactly what this demon can give me. Then I realize I'm smiling for myself. No, stop Octavia. You can't think like this. It's not right.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Hey, what's that face?" I ask her when I wrap my arms around her when I saw her wistful look while she was biting her bottom lip. "What face?" she asks confusedly. "What were you thinking about?" I ask her again. "I was thinking about what you were thinking about" she says and shrugs. I sigh and she looks up at me. "Luke, what's wrong? What's going on? Just tell me" she begs. I really should tell her. If I want to tell her I have to do it now. I definitely don't want her to be older than me. I stand up holding one of her hands and slightly pull her up and lead her to her room. I know that it's just the two of us in here, but anyway, I would feel better if we're gonna talk about this behind the closed door and not in open space. "Luke, it's just us, we could talk in the living room" she says. "This is better. It makes me more comfortable" I say and she just nods. "Well, just let me talk, don't cut me off. Okay?" I say and she nods again. "Good. Look, I still don't know how exactly I should tell you this, but this thing will change our relationship forever. And when I'm saying forever, I really mean it. As you know already, I'm demon. But the thing is, I'm also immortal" I make a small pause when I see her mouth falls open. I know she's waiting for me to talk again. "Well, now, it's actually up to you. The thing that I'm immortal is not changing that much, but your decision will. There are just two options and you have to think kinda quickly about it. Not like for few minutes, but definitely not for weeks as well. Let's say like for couple of days? But to the point. If you will decide to stay just the way you are, which means human, I'll have to leave. Maybe not right in the moment when you will decide about it, but one day I will have to leave. But if you will decide to be immortal too, it would mean you have to become a vampire. I can say Michael would bite you happily. At least he would drink a little of human blood. I know this is probably a lot of information for you, but I really had to tell you this" I finish my monologue and wait for her reaction. She quickly blinks few times. "Wait, what? You just actualy said it like it's not a big deal" she half shouts.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I actually can't believe what he just said. No, I can't believe HOW he said it. "So, if I refuse to become immortal, so you will just leave and leave me here? And when I will decide to be immortal, I would have to be a vampire? Are you serious? What would that mean anyway?" I shout at him. I don't even know why I am shouting, but I'm angry for some reason. "Doll, please. Don't yell at me" he says calmly. "I know how it looks, but it's hard for me too. Look at it this way, if you will be human, you will get older and at some point, people will realize you look older, but I still look same. You will be old-er and I'll be still young. I will still look like an 18 years old boy. On the other side, if you would decide to be immortal and become a vampire, we would have to leave anyway after some time, because people will realize we still look like we're 18" he says. "Yeah, so basically, you're saying you're leaving with or without me. Great, that's really what I wanted to hear" I mutter. "No, it's not what I'm saying. I mean, yeah, it's kinda true, but this coversation is about immortality" I huffed. Looks like he's losing his patience with me. Wait, what if I would just make him angry more and make this beast inside of him just take control over him? No, Octavia. It's too dangerous. Just don't. No, you can't. "And why can't I be demon like you?" I ask him. "Because, at first, one demon is totally enough. And at second, I don't even have any idea how to do that" he says and looks right into my eyes. I feel like his look is somewhere really deep inside of me. Then I spot it. His eyes flashed. They didn't in some time. But now they did. I think they stayed black for a little longer than usually. "Well, I'll think about this" I tell him not looking away from his eyes, just in case the demon's black eyes would come back.
