Demons In Disguise

Disenchanted.

She felt too apprehensive to move she heard the door slamming open and the footsteps of everyone running back into the room. They paused to assess the situation stopping next to her realising the demon wasn't present. Ray's arms engulfed her pulling her close to him making her wince as the burn on her cheek brushed his arm.

Frank flew past them and landed a punch straight into Gerards face sending him reeling backwards.

'Fuck you!' Frank spat at Gerard before being dragged back by Haylea and out of the room.

She saw Mikey run to Gerard as she was bundled out of the room by Ray her brain only kicking in once they were past the door when she stopped him.

'Where are we going?' She asked feeling stupid like she was missing out on something.

'Home. You saved his arse he's good Mikey can take care of him now. We are leaving before any other shit goes down!' Ray said and pulled on her arm indicating she follow.

'Why are we running? I'm OK, he did it he took over the demon side? I have so many questions I need answers to still!' Her mind was racing she actually wanted to see him she needed to know she wouldn't be seeing the demon in her dreams again, reassurance it was over.

'Why do you think? He tried to kill you yet again! Look at your face! Why do you want to stay you wanting to kiss him again or something?' Ray's face flashed with regret the moment her said it she could tell but it didn't stop the disgust she felt at his words.

'What the fuck is that meant to mean Ray! He transfers energy and steals fucking energy. I was drained and the kiss got us home what would you have preferred me being stuck there or kiss him and get back? Fuck you Ray' she was fuming how dare he second guess her.

'I'm sorry it's just your my best friend I've never felt so helpless I just wanted to help! And then the guy who tried to kill you is all over you, I wanted to strangle that fucker when he was asleep so bad and you turn up kissing him' Ray's arms were holding onto hers now but she brushed him off.

'You should trust my judgement I'm going back to speak to him' she tried to turn but Ray scooped her up pulling her up over his shoulder and started to walk out of the house.

'Fucking put me down Ray!' She yelled trying to kick out of his hold but he was stronger than her after her ordeal. She looked up to see Mikey and Gerard starting at her and Ray's interaction. As they turned the corner she saw Gerard mouth the words 'I'm sorry' to her before he was out of sight.

She didn't have the energy left to fight by the time she was being pushed into the passenger seat of the car. Everything was chaos, Haylea was shouting at Ray for the way he was acting and Frank was wanting to go back and pummel Gerard to a pulp with Rays agreement. Resigned she just sat back and closed her eyes trying to block them all out.

She slept the whole way home, not one dream invading her thoughts. As they walked into the apartment she asked Haylea to come sit with her in the bedroom not wanting to look at Ray any longer she felt so betrayed by him treating her like a child.

'So what going on? I mean that kiss looked intense' Haylea asked once they were alone barely able to contain herself.

'It was simple energy transfer honest' she sighed laying back on her pillows not wanting to get into it again.

'Was it the first time?' Haylea pressed for more info joining her on the pillow leaning on one arm eager for information.

'No' she considered lying but she knew Haylea would get it out of her eventually.

'No! Omg was something going on in those dreams? I mean he tried to kill you multiple times is this some kink or something you've never mentioned?' She couldn't help but laugh when Haylea said that, she could always trust her to lighten the mood and not to judge even in a complicated situation.
