I took a shakey breath, running my hand through my hair.
"You're....a what?" I asked in almost a whisper.
"A demon" he said firmly, staring at me intensely.
I nodded slowly. His words hit me like a ton of bricks. A Demon.
"Dont be afraid" he said worriedly, rushing towards me.
I shook my head "I'm not" I said, taking a few steps forward
"You're not?" He questioned, frowning slightly.
"No" I confirmed, shaking my head again.
I gently ran my fingers over his back, lingering there for a few seconds.
I felt his eyes glued to me, watching my every move.
"What are you thinking?" He asked bluntly, a soft tone laced in his voice.
"What?" I asked, snapping my head up in his direction, frowning slightly.
"I can read everyone's thoughts....." he paused, frowning. "Then I look at you and....nothing" he finished shaking his head.
"Is there something wrong with me?" I asked frowning, running my hand through my hair.
He let out a deep chuckle.
"I tell you that I can read people's minds, and you think there's something wrong with you?" He smirked
"Shut it McCann" I remarked, punching his arm, a small smile tugging at my lip.
He chuckled inwardly, his eyes now a honey brown colour, swirling with something I've never seen before.....guilt?
"You know I never meant to hurt you, dont you?" He asked, his voice softer than I had ever heard it.
My lips parted slightly as I thought about the question.
I mean hes never hurt me before, even when there were 100's of opportunities. He could have killed me in a blink of an eye and thought no more of it and yet....he didn't.
"I know" I nodded reassuringly, crossing my arms.
"Good" he said more to himself than me. "Nobody knows about this" he started, gesturing to himself "not even the boys.... not all of it anyway" he continued "you cant tell anyone, ok?Promise me" He stressed.
"I wont tell anyone, I promise" I said , shaking my head.
He nodded, convinced that I was telling the truth.
within a split second, his wings had submerged into his back.
"You're covered in cuts and bruises"i muttered, giving him the once over.
"Its not the first time" he admitted "and it definitely wont be the last" he added, running his hand though his hair.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes at his stupidity, crossing my arms.
He shot me a wink before walking out the room, a smug smirk flashing across his face.
*eye roll*
