Demons Among Us

Atlas Grimoire

"Atlas, wake up" my mom screamed from downstairs. "I'm up, I'm up" I yelled under my blankets. Then I got up and looked at the calendar "shit how did I forget my own birthday" I screamed. I jumped out of bed and ran straight towards the bathroom. I checked the clock 7:49 "crap, I'm late, Mr. Baldmen is gonna kill me if I'm late again" I yelled. I quickly took a shower and put something nice enough to wear to school on and ran downstairs. "Happy 17th birthday baby" my mom said with joy. "Thanks mom" I said smiling because of the fact that she still calls me baby. Then I grabbed a piece of toast and my backpack and rushed out the door. I started walking as fast as I could to school, "Atlas come straight home after school, I have to tell you something" my mom yelled from the garage. "Ok mom whatever" I said quietly and started heading to WhiteHill High. I ran through the front doors and rushed to math class. I walked in and tried to sneak to my desk. "Mr. Grimoire, your late again" Mr. Baldmen screamed in anger. "Sorry Sir" I said as I sat in my desk. Then he just went on and on about useless information I will never use so I decided to check my phone. I had one message from an unknown number.

Unknown: Atlas Grimoire meet me at Baker Street at exactly 9:30.

I was so confused but, I know no one would go through that much unless it's important so I had to go. I checked the time 9:10, crap I have to leave now if I wanna get there in time. So I asked Mr. B if I could go to the washroom. "Yes Atlas but make it quick" he said. So I ran through the door and jumped down the front steps. Then I started sprinting towards Baker Street. It's 9:23 so I have a couple minutes to spare so I decided to go into "Junk and Stuff". It was just a bunch of cheap crap so I decided to just leave. Then I saw two men outside, they both had leather jackets and were very tall and muscular. "Atlas glad you could show up" the one on the left said with a very creepy laugh. "Who are you, why did you text me" I yelled. "We're your worst nightmare" the other one said with a grin. "Cliché much" I laughed. Maybe they are demons, or just some crazy ass creeps I thought to myself. Then one of them pulled out a huge blade from his leather jacket. "This should be fun" the man with the blade laughed. Then he ran at me with the blade but I was able to duck just before he hit me. Then the other man pulled out a huge gun, it was like nothing I have ever seen before. Then he raised it up and pointed it at me, then pulled the trigger. I closed my eyes and covered my face with my arms. Then I had weird feeling in my gut and opened my eyes again.

I was behind them, I was so confused then I remembered that this was my 17 birthday which means I'm becoming a full demon and I am starting to develop powers. "How the hell did you teleport like that kid" the one with the blade screamed. "He's...a demon" the other one said. Then they both took of there leather jackets and dropped them on the ground. Then two huge white wings bursted out of there backs. "You guys are Angels" I screamed in fright. "Yes, and Zeus told us that we gotta kill any demons we see, sorry bud looks like it's your unlucky day. Then one of them flew above me and landed behind me. Then the other one grabbed my left arm and the other grabbed my right. Then they started pulling the other way, I can't even start describing the pain. I screamed, it hurt so much, then I felt something go through my body. My veins started to turn black and I felt two of my teeth sharpen. Then I felt a surge of strength go through me, this must be one of the powers that I'm developing I thought to myself. Then I grabbed both of the men's arms and slammed them together. I felt so powerful, then the one with the creepy laugh got up and charged at me. I dodged his punch and swiped at his face. My finger tips cut across his face, they felt as sharp as a knife. "What the hell I can't see anything, damn the kid blinded me" the man screamed in pain. He was swinging helplessly stumbling around. Then the other man got up, "you know not all demons are bad" I screamed at him in anger then my arm bursted into flames. "What the hell, my hand is on fire" I screamed. I started waving my arm helplessly then a huge burst of flames shot out of my arm like a bullet and knocked the guy through the glass into Junk and Stuff. Then I remembered something from when I was younger, "maybe some day you'll be able to control fire like your dad" I remembered my mom telling me. Then the man that I blinded swiped a punch at me and just barely missed. So I grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him onto the other guy. "Shit people are gonna think I killed these guys" I said aloud to myself. So I started sprinting away. Then two more Angels dropped down in front of me from the sky. So I turned the corner and continued sprinting forward, they were catching up to me. I was sweating and my heart was pounding harder and harder. Then all of a sudden two hands grabbed my face and pulled me into an alleyway. I was shocked, it was a girl, I was so tired I could barely stay awake, my whole body was aching. I was somehow able to keep my eyes open for the girl to say one thing, "it's gonna be ok, your safe now..." she whispered quietly as I shut my eyes.
