Demons V2

Chapter 96: Preparing to Die

George POV.

Suddenly the door was broken in. I jolted and sat up, seeing a figure with glowing eyes in the doorway. A demon. The creature growled furiously and looked over at me, quickly closing the distance. I froze with fear, wondering why the hell a demon was here now, but noticing from the glow of their eyes the way that they licked their teeth hungrily.

I saw the figures of a male. He was eyeing me up like I was a meal, something that I had feared demons did since the moment I first heard about them. The tears began appearing in my eyes again, making everything blurry as the creature reached out to me with claws ready to tear me to shreds.

My body shook as I stared, unsure of how I should react. It reminded me of the day, well night, that Dream found me, except this time I felt more fear than anything. He looked at me like I was prey, growling furiously as he walked towards me.

“Please,” I tried begging. “Please don’t hurt me.” I wasn’t even sure if he spoke English. I knew that demons learnt all manner of human languages, but I couldn’t be sure if this one knew English or if he spoke some other human language, or maybe he didn’t even speak any human language and just spoke the same native language that Dream spoke.

There was nothing. I didn’t see any recognition as he savagely stared at me with no recognition as though I was an animal, worth nothing. My panic boiled up inside of me as he finally reached me on the bed, now growling loud enough to flush out all of my other words, and all of my thoughts.

My eyes screwed shut when I felt the bright yet cold glow of his eyes. I was prepared to die, yet I didn’t want to see it happen. I didn’t want to see when he pounced at me and sunk his fangs into my neck, or when his claws went to run through my chest. My shivers continued, having switched from being about the wind, to being about this monster.

Quietly while I waited for my death I whispered goodbyes to everyone that I cared about. Karl and Sapnap, goodbye to you and your unborn child - if it’s a boy, name it after me please. Goodbye Tallulah, the sweetest girl I’ve met even though I only knew you for a few weeks. Goodbye Philza and Techno, thank you both for teaching me and making me laugh even if Techno wanted to eat me.

The last person I said goodbye to was Dream. My beloved demon. I had thought that I was a burden and that I was all alone in this world even as you laid beside me. I left you and now look at what was happening. I was going to be killed.

These thoughts flashed through my mind in less than a second, it felt way too quick though. These people that I cared about, that were basically my family, deserved more than mere millisecond goodbyes. Some of these people I have had my most secretive and intimate moments with deserved more than a quick goodbye.

I felt his breath against my face, sounding like a growl and I tensed up, just repeating my goodbyes over and over again, adding more details and giving them more of the farewell they deserved. This was between each of my painful and pitiful whimpers. My body was tense and prepared.

Maybe after all of the medication I had taken he would end up overdosing on my blood or something, so at least he has to deal with the consequences and pains of having to kill me. I knew it was cruel, but after everything that I had been through I felt that I deserved to be bitter and cruel, especially in my last few moments.

But those last few moments never came, instead I heard a large growl before feeling a rush of wind. My eyes remained screwed shut but the coldness that was present with the demon was also gone. After a few tense moments I tentatively opened my eyes, feeling cautious but seeing that I was alone.

The cabin was empty. If the door were there then it would be as if I was alone, as if I had only imagined this terrifying creature that was planning on eating me. Loud noises were coming from outside of the cabin and with a fearful expression I stood up, shakily walking towards the door to see what was going on.

I was slow and cautious, since if whoever was out there with the demon that attacked me wasn’t friendly, then I could be the next meal. Before I even got to the window though I was grabbed by a swift moving figure.

My fear was building, and I was about to panic before hearing a soothing purr. My eyes widened and watered at the sound, the sound so familiar that I melted into it and began sobbing. “Why are you so upset?” He asked softly, speaking exactly the way he did in my delusions. I looked up into his glowing yellow eyes before crying again. “Georgie? Sweetheart?”

I just cried, my legs giving out under me and instead of him trying to hug me and hold me up he instead went for an embrace on the uneven wooden floor. “You’re back.” Was all that I managed to say between my cries. The demon himself had gone to tears, his eyes causing each of the droplets of water to glow like a crystalised spectacle.

Neither of us cared about the rough floor we were sitting on, or the cold wind that was hitting both of us from through the open door, or the fresh blood covering his shirt. When my cries had gone down into sniffles he spoke, lovingly kissing me in between. “I woke up and you weren’t here. I was scared and so I looked around and saw that you’d left so I followed you.”

I sighed sadly. If I had just stayed around for another five or ten minutes, I would have been there for him when he woke up. “I’m sorry.” I mumbled, an apology for this that he didn’t seem to understand. He didn’t respond, frankly not seeming to care that I hadn’t been there for him, thinking that this was better as he kissed at my neck.

“Why did you leave?” He asked me, speaking slowly and softly. My head was resting against his chest and his purring grew quiet.
“I was worried.” I explained. “I felt like I was being a burden and had no point of being there with everyone I cared about not being around. Just figured it would be easier to leave.”

It was pitiful to say and made me feel somewhat guilty. Dream didn’t say anything for a moment, just soaking up my words, then he lifted me up in my arms. He didn’t seem to have the weakness of a person who had been in a coma for weeks with no food or water.

“You aren’t a burden.” He told me. “Now, I want to get home. I think both of us could use a shower and some food. Don’t you agree, pet?”
