Demons Among Us

Jynx Graymayre

I stand in the garden, confused. I hear a shriek and see a young boy running toward me. "You'll never catch up, you know that?" he calls behind him. I frown "Ash! Wait up!" a girl squeals running after him. With a flying leap she extended a pair of feathery white wings from either shoulder blade and tackled him. Laughing she boosted herself up onto her elbows "I win." she said sticking her tongue. He smirked and flipped them over so he had her pinned to the ground, her wings a halo around them. "I win again." she pouted, then frowned, "Why do you do it?" his smile faded slightly "Do what?" "Wear the glamour." his smile faded completely "You know why, angels and demons aren't allowed to interact." "I want to see your face, not a glamour, no makeup, just you." rolling off of her. Standing up he offered her his hand.

"Now just, don't panic." nodding her head excitedly she stepped back. The boy closed his eyes, for a second nothing happend, then his skin started to flicker and blue-green scales started fading over his cheekbones. A small pair of ram horns appear from his mop of silky blonde hair. His hands scaled over and fingers sharpened into claws. A pair clawed wings matching the colour of his scales. He opened his eyes, and instead of their normal light gray, they were a poison green and slited like a snake's. "This is the real me. You can be disappointed now." "Disappointed? Why would I be disappointed?" he grinned, showing off a pair of tiny pointed teeth.Then a shadow fell over them. With a sense of foreboding, I stepped forward, to warn them, but no sound came put of my mouth. An net fell over him, eliciting a scream from the girl. An angel landed in front of her and crouched "Are you alright?" she frowned at him. "What's going on?" the angel stood up "You were attacked by this demon." he said, his handsome face twisting into a single scowl as he kicked the boy. "No, but he didn't attack me, he's my..." she trailed off, watching Ash shaking his head furiously. "Very well, take him away." she watched helplessly as he was carried off, and collapsed with a scream.

I wake up gasping for breath. It's been five years since the angels had taken my best friend, five years since since I swore against them. Five years since my wings went black. I pull my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them. As I'm comforting myself there's a tentative knock on the door. "Come in!" I call. My older brother, Levi, walks in. "Hey there, guess what? A group of angels were spotted." he smirks and holds out a dagger. "Care to go hunting?"
I crouch in the alley, throwing knife in hand. I should've known that the angels wouldn't be here without a reason. A boy with dark hair and wearing all black was surrounded by all of the angels, apart from the one that I'd stuck my knife into. Suddenly he bends over double and almost collapses. Streaks of white appear in his hair, and his eyes turn red. His transformation is eerily similar to my dream. His fingers appear to have sharpened, because as he slaps one of the angels, he slices away his eyes. His arm bursts into flames unexpectedly and he jumps back yelping and flailing his arm around, shooting a fireball at the building behind them. He screams something about demons not being bad and runs as the building explodes.

He almost passes the alley I'm hiding in when I reach out, grab his wrist and drag him into the alley. He starts flailing around and ends up hitting his head on the wall. "Shit." I mutter crouching down. I lean over and say " it's okay, you're safe now." he looks at me with bleary eyes "Who are you?" he slurrs "My name's Jynx, I saved your life. You're welcome."
