Sometimes demons take human form,so they could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones they choose would be gathered together and tortured as they hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them.
When their near,everything goes wrong. People get hurt,children,innocence is lost.It would always end with the deaths of all those trapped.Cause it's the lies that we tell ourselves, they introduce us to him.

Zayn doesn't remember much of his childhood. No memories,nothing. He would get flashbacks,none helpful to him though. He doesn't worry himself too much though.
He's an artist,working on the street. People would stop by and ask to get drawn. They'd usually end up paying him if he's lucky enough. Most of the time they thank him and walk away. Some criticize him,telling him 'its the worst drawing they've seen'. He brushes those types of people off.
He always knew he was destined to become an artist,it's just working its cycle very slowly.
When he was 17 he had moved to London looking for work. With no luck,he sat there with a pencil,and a sketch pad hoping for the best. Everyday he'd sit there drawing what he saw. A canvas filled with dark sketched skies and angry old people,or lightly sketched skies and children playing.
He remembers one man came up to him while he was sketching. Of course Zayn didn't notice him at first,a few 'ah-hems' later and the man had zayns full attention. Zayn was blown away as he stared down the man from head to toe. Crystal blue eyes,feathered brown hair,evenly toned body. He's never had feelings for another man,but something was telling him that this was fate.
Zayn knew the man felt awkward because he was shifting feet,hands in pockets and looking anywhere but zayns eyes. "can I help you sir?" Zayn finally said. The man jumped a bit at the sudden voice,clearing his throat he finally spoke,"U-Uh yes,do you do self portraits?" And Zayn didn't even comprehend the question,he was too enthralled with that voice. So soft and beautiful.
"Uhm..Uhm yeah I do,I mean yes I do sir. " Zayn stuttered out,mentally slapping himself for speaking like a fool with no manners. Zayn gestured for the man to sit on the seat in front of him.
For a good 15 minutes,it was complete silence. Not so much awkward but comforting. Which Zayn liked when he was concentrating on drawing. Every so often Zayn would look up to get a good glimpse of the male and then sketch it. Contoured features,bright smile,outline of a face and eyes.
"Do you uhm do this for a living?" The man asked. "I guess you could say that,I mostly just sit out here or wherever and hope. "He gave the male a half hearted smile,which the other returned.
An hour or so later and the drawing was complete. The mans face and back ached,he was sure his face was stuck from all that smiling.
"Well here you go." Zayn said,handing the man the drawing. The man was blown away when he saw it. It was exactly on point,the features,the clothes,even the little details. "Are you sure you don't do this for a living?" the man asked,his eyes never leaving the drawing. Zayn couldn't help but smile,his cheeks turning a deep crimson. "Working on it so far. " Zayn said. The man reached in his pockets,pulling out crumpled up bills and throwing them in zayns hand. Looking up at the man,Zayn furrowed his eyebrows. "Just take it,don't protest. Your a wonderful artist. I'd love to see more of your work uh...Mr. ?" " Huh?Oh uh..Zayn.Zayn Malik. " he said holding out his hand for the other to take. "Right Mr. Malik. I'd love to see more. " He said,giving a slight wave and turning on his heel the opposite way.
Zayn had a goofy smile that reached from ear to ear. He then realized the other never mentioned his name. "Wait!" Zayn yelled back to the man. The man turned,looking back at Zayn. "I never caught your name! " Zayn said.
"Louis!" the male shouted back.
