Adventures Of The Demon And Me

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Who Is This?

Next story~

It's been a bit quiet lately since the incident with the werewolves and the demon, surprisingly. So I've been chilling. I'm hungry, but there's been nothing to eat in the house. I might go out to buy stuff. I hear footsteps as someone walks into the room I'm in. "Hey Master." I hear Jinx say. I turn to look up at him. "I have some errands to do." He says.

"Demons have errands?" I question. He chuckles. "Yes, we do. Do you mind if I go do that real quick, Master?" Jinx asks me. "Of course I don't mind." I respond. "Thank you Master. I'll be around, so I won't be far away. I'm just trying to source out my food for the next few days." He explains. I'm confused by that.

"What does that even mean..?" I ask. "Um, let's just say it's hunting." I give him a confused look. "Don't ask what I'm hunting for. For your own good." Jinx says. "O-Ok..." He goes towards the door and opens it. "I'll be back in a bit, My lady." Jinx says as he does a small bow and walks out. That was odd. He's never really so secretive like that.

Anyway, I should really get some groceries so I can eat something. I get my outside clothes on and I walk out the door. I start walking to the closest supermarket. A few minutes later, I'm finally here. Now, what do I need...?

30 Minutes Later-

I get all my bags and carry them at once. I forgot to bring a cart, so I'm stuck carrying 10 heavy bags by myself. I'm used to Jinx being with me, so he usually carries most of the bags. That's probably why I forgot the cart... This walk is a bit far too.. I hope I can make it.

A few wobbly steps later, my arms start hurting. "Shit, I gotta take a break.." I say to myself as I set the bags down. I take a little breather and I pick up the bags and keep walking home. A few minutes later, my legs start wobbling. I make it to a stoplight, so I get to rest for a bit. The light changes and I pick up my bags to walk. But I stumble backwards and almost fall, but I bump into someone.

I drop my bags from the impact and I quickly back away from the person I just stumbled into. I turn around to apologize, but they're really tall. I look up at them. "I-I'm sorry.!" I apologize. Wait a minute. He seems rather strange... Are those fangs I see..? I look down and I notice a tail. I look into his eyes, he has the same demonic glow as the demon I last encountered. Is this a demon...?

He has a bit of scales on his shoulders and gills on his neck. Is he some sort of demon water serpent? My heart starts racing and I begin to panic. T-That has to be a demon.. The last one I encountered wanted to kill us. And I'm alone this time.. Jinx isn't here. "Are you ok? Do you know where Jinx is? I've heard rumors of you and him." He says to me.

He knows of me and him..? Is he trying to kill us..? I don't answer him, I look up at him with fear in my eyes and I back away slightly. I don't know what to do.. I can't deal with a demon on my own... I start to shake from anxiety. Suddenly, the demon gets closer to me and grabs my wrist.

"Relax!" He yells at me. Him touching me scares me more. My breathing gets heavier and my eyes widen. "Ahhh!" I scream. I don't want to almost die from a demon again..! "JINX! Help!!" I instinctively yell for Jinx in hopes he comes quickly. I feel him grip my wrist harder after I yell for Jinx.

I scream again as a result.

Jinx's POV

I'm doing my business until my ears pick up the sounds of Master screaming. I jolt up and I look around. "Master?!" I yell to myself. Did I just hear that..? A few seconds later, I hear her screaming my name at the top of her lungs. Did she just call out to me?! I drop everything I'm doing. "What's happening to her to make her call out to me?! She's never done that!" I hear Master scream again, and I fly up to try and find her.

That sounded a few miles away, I should be able to get to her quickly if I fly as fast as I can. "Master!! I'm coming!" I yell to her. I'm zooming quickly, panicking inside from the worry of what could be the problem. I sense I'm getting closer. I believe I see her in the distance. Who is that next to her...? He's grabbing her wrist?! It's a demon.

(Y/N)'s POV

I pull my wrist to try to get out of his grip, but I can't. Suddenly, I see someone come down from the sky violently and yanks me away from the demon. I look up at who's arms I'm in. "Jinx!!" I exclaim as I hug him. "Master, are you ok?! Thank you for calling out to me... I wouldn't have known if you didn't.." He says. "It was just instinct..."

"Jinx?" The mysterious demon says. He turns to look at the demon, still holding me in case something happens. Jinx squints his eyes to analyze him fully, but then his eyes widen as he gasps.
