Beyond His Evil

Chapter Thirty Three

Devon's Pov

Demons didn't have emotions. We were like living machines, couldn't care for anyone, and certainly couldn't love. So someone explain what I felt for Kira to me.

At first, I was pretending just to get her to trust me, so I could always be around her, and keep an eye on her.

But then, somehow she gave life to my dead heart, and I had fallen in love with her. It confused me. How could I feel this way for a hunter? Not just any hunter, the hunter he wants.

I ran a hand through my hair. It was longer now, tangled, and unkept but I didn't care. It was the least of my worries. I had hurt her... Badly. I had hurt Kira in the one way I swore I wouldn't.

The memory of my claws digging into her flesh hunted me daily, I could still smell the scent of her blood, still see it on my hands. I could see the fear in her eyes that night, but also how deeply she cared about me. Even after seeing me in my true form, she still cared. She still saw something beyond my evil, she still hoped I would stop, and I hurt her.

I had gone into her room later when I was sure her roommate was asleep, and when I heard her sobbing softly thinking no one could hear, it was worse than any physical pain I had been through.

I wanted to touch her, go down on my knees, and beg her to forgive me, cut both the hands I had used to hurt her off, kiss her over and over, and tell her I loved her. But like always, I turned around, and disappeared.

When she had told me Rya had spoken to her, I got scared. If I had known the Rya I knew, was the same one the seer spoke of, I would've found her, and killed her before I went back to Kira.

I just couldn't believe that the seer would let a creature as dangerous, and unpredictable as her stay in safe land. It didn't make sense. I knew I was dangerous, and they all made a huge mistake by letting me into safe land, but I was a different person now. Kira had made me a different person. I wouldn't hurt anyone, not anymore.

But Rya, Did the seer even know what Rya was ?
Did she know how powerful, and dangerous she was ?
The fact she had dared to come close to Kira drove me insane. If she knew what Kira was, then Kira was in grave danger. The worst kind of danger. And I knew somehow she had figured everything out, she knew everything.

Immediately I dropped Kira in front of her room, I went looking for her. I searched everywhere. She must have known I was coming for her, and fled. She was right to leave, cause I would have killed her that very night for even breathing the same air as Kira .

I was scared she had told Kira something, especially when she was wearing that necklace. Then they would know, and they would come for her, and there was nothing I could do about it. That was why I had hurt her, so she would tell me what she knew. So they would know what she knew. I had done it to protect her, but I still ended up hurting her.

I didn't know how, but they found out what she was, and they had brought her here, and made sure I was here before she got here. It was all planned, starting from the attack in her village. Everything was planned. The only thing holding them back was Kira herself. Her powers were still hidden, but as soon as it manifested, they would take her away and they would destroy her, just like the others before her. And it would be all my fault.

From the first time I laid my eyes on her, I didn't want to admit it to myself then, but I didn't want them to take her. I started by trying to leave her clues, hoping somehow she would piece it together.

She never did, I didn't blame her.

I would have told her the truth a long time ago, tell her what she was, tell her what they sent me to do, tell her what they were planning, but I knew the consequences.

They would surely kill me for going against them, that didn't matter to me. I would lay my life a million times over if it meant keeping her safe. But, they would come for her if she knew the truth. It wouldn't matter if her powers manifested or not. They would come for her, and that would be the end of everything.

They had the craziest theory that if she was told the truth, her powers could manifest immediately, to help her protect herself against them. And if it did, it might be impossible to capture her, because she would be powerful enough to escape them or even destroy them. And If it didn't mainfest, then God might intervene, and take her back, and their plans would fail. If neither happens, they would take her, but they weren't willing to risk it.

But if she found out herself, it would seem natural, and whether or not her powers manifested they would take her.

That's the only reason they didn't want me to tell her. That was the reason they didn't want anyone to tell her.

Maybe that was why her mother didn't tell her anything. She knew the evil lurking. The only reason she was in safe land in the first place, was because they felt that her powers would come quicker if she was surrounded by her kind.

Her mother. My chest felt heavy. How would Kira react if I told her her mother was still alive, but with them.

I sighed.

Her passing out was still a mystery to me. When no one knew what was wrong with her, including me I got scared. They told me, the connection the necklace gave them to her broke off, even though she didn't take it off so they didn't know either. That was strange.

That damn necklace. She never took it off, and I knew it was because I had given it to her, as a gift. She thought it was special.

I clentched my fists. I would rip it off her if I could. With it, they were able to monitor her, see who she was talking to, who she was with, like a camera, but when it's covered, they couldn't see a thing. And I always prayed she had it underneath her cloth.

When I met the woman the seer said could help her, I thought she was a half breed. Her puplis were slits, and her irises were crimson, but there was something off about her, and the way she always held Kira, but I never suspected that she was just like Kira .

She must have known they were watching, but she still risked her life by revealing herself to her, and to them and talking to kira. And of course, they killed her.

I don't know what she said to her. They only told me that Kira could be close to finding out the truth. I really hoped she didn't, at least not now.

They told me she had a copy of the holy book in her possession, I wondered how, they also told me she had read it.
I wondered what what was probably going through her mind now.

I wanted to see her, I wanted to hold her in my arms. Sometimes I stood outside her door, my fist in the air, but I couldn't knock. I wasn't worthy of being any where close to her, she didn't deserve someone like me.

I sighed.

Something was coming, I could feel it. I wondered if I or anyone could save Kira.
