Inhuman Vengance

found

'is it me, is it my wife coz one of us is less important to you guys huh'
he yelled.
'Damien I said I cant be sorry enough the guys took the piss and getting them together was a bit difficult'
the shadow demon could hear it all and not even be near the phone, 'he does speak truthfully it was not his fault of the delay to save your wife'

'ok Andy I believe you but if I ever want another favour again seeing as this failed, you better be there if I want you there fucking drag them if you have to you don’t wana know what could happen if you let me down again, and what’s happening with the case on my wife, any leads yet'.
'we found a gang member called runner wouldn’t give his real name, he voluntarily came in and told us everything including what they did to her Damien, it was fucking brutal and barbaric'

'spare me the details Andy I wana see this runner guy for a chat tomorrow make it happen see you there'.
Andy worked for a wealthy construction company and was a police agent behind the scenes, like a FBI CIA kinda person, could call favours in whenever, also from his own construction office called KC construction.

he hung up and sat staring at the floor, 'you should rest Damien you have a meeting tomorrow with runner who will tell you everything including names, but you have those' the shadow spoke softly.
'yeh your right I should its late and I’ve not shown my face at the construction yard office, wonder if hell set the meeting at the office or secluded place he cant allow me to in the agency'.
the next morning after a few hours sleep, Damien woke to his alarm and stared at the empty pillow next to him, he stroked it and got up for work, 'morning human friend' the shadow spoke, 'you been stood there all night' Damien asked, 'yes, yes I have Damien I watch over my human while they sleep and i help them'
he smiled and went for his shower, 'my human' he muttered and giggled as he looked back at the shadow smiling.
The shadow demon was fully aware of Damien’s dreams, he had some kind of deep celestial attachment.
the phone rang while he was in the shower, and the shadow looked at it, he couldn’t answer, so he touched it with his finger and knew who it was, an unknown male, wore a dirty tracksuit was sat at a table in a small kitchen with someone with him, the shadow could picture the face and a small amount of the surroundings with his ability, it was the man from the wife slaughter but how did he know Damien, why call, he needed to warn him.

'hey Damien' the shadow peered in a gap in the shower curtain, 'HEY MAN ever heard of privacy' he wailed.
'i apologise but there’s a man who tried to call and he matches the man wearing the dirty tracksuit he’s with another in a kitchen could be Kyle' he softly spoke.
'what! how do you know that from a call' he said switching the shower off and grabbing his towel.
'my ability allows me to touch a phone to see who is calling, i see their face and a little bit of their surroundings'
'wow that’s fucking epic shadow' he said amazed.
he got dressed and dialled a code to see who last called him, it was local, 'should i call back' he asked the shadow, 'yes you should he wants to speak but beware of him asking to meet he wont be alone at any instance even if he says which he will'
'thanks shadow' he said as he dialled the number in, his heart raced, not out of fear but more of excitement he was about to speak with the guys who slaughtered his wife, he wanted this badly to get revenge, he wanted to meet them.
'erh hello' the man said
'hey there you called' Damien said in a dark low husky tone.
'erh yeh we called, is this Damien, recently lost a beloved wife, murdered, i got your number from some contacts at a construction yard from a news story after her death, they gave me your number to call, we are from a agency and may have some information' the tracksuit guy said.

obviously Damien knew it wasn’t for real, and the shadow gently shook its had as to say its a lie but he knew Damien wasn’t stupid, 'meet them i will be by you for protection you are my human and i will serve to protect at any cost' the shadow said.
'any cost huh' he thought to himself, 'ok where do i meet you i have a meeting today so make it later on'
'ok shall we say 7pm' the guy asked, 'yeh sure 7pm near the abandoned warehouse by the lake'
'ok ill be there' he said then Damien hung up.
‘so the officer i spoke to, to set this up, was lying? He called yesterday to arrange me seeing this tracksuit kid’
‘no but i believe the tracksuit guy could be a thug borrowing his clothes’
'this is my chance shadow, my chance to get both, 2 birds with 1 stone, ill need some concealed weapons and other stuff' he shuffled his eyes around the apartment searching for things to hide weapons and belts for holding them.
'Damien you may ask me to hold items too you know I’m able to, no one will see' shadow said.
'no way, ok here' he looked shocked why didn’t he say sooner, he rushed about for small and long knives, his gun and holster, rope and rags, ill hold onto these 2 small daggers can you hold these shadow' handing the items to shadow he hurried to prepare, he had a meeting with runner first and waited for the call.

shadow looked at Damien, he picked up some feelings from him, for once he was afraid, but he felt he was more afraid of Damien’s capabilities than Damien was of his emotions.
'Damien I’m concerned, i feel a growing bond with you this of which is disallowed, i feel i am becoming a close friend and i start to care for you' shadow lowered its head.
'how’s that disallowed, why cant you care for your human until the deeds are done, why cant you get close to us' Damien asked concerned.
'well, if we do, if we care and bond with a human, we have to become one with them and lose our place as a shadow demon, in return for the humans emotional bond we share our abilities in their body, we literally become 1 with the human for the rest of their life span, they also get extended life and abilities, but we don’t return back to our world once the human dies, we stay as a free trapped spirit in this human world'
he stared at Damien for a moment, 'but can i live with this is my question'
Damien looked at the floor where his wife’s slippers still sat, 'that’s amazing yet sad, if i was one, and i cared for that human, i think if they was worth it id do it, but that’s my human friendly nature talking' he grinned at shadow.
'can i call you a name instead of shadow, can i call you reeko, it suits you' he smiled.
'wow you want to name me, if you do it’ll tighten the bond i feel' still stood in a spot he gazed at Damien, he felt like he wanted to bond and protect him not just doing it because it was part of his duty as a shadow demon.

a few moments later the phone rang, it was Andy about the meeting with runner, 'Damien i have bad news, runner was murdered last night at his home he wont be meeting us I’m finding out what happened ill get back to you' 'ok thanks Andy' he hung up and looked at reeko the shadow, and they both nodded, 'i know what you thought Damien, you couldn’t tell him about the other call because you wont get your vengeance and you’ll be caught for murder wont you' Damien nodded, 'sadly yes i would, they’ll know it was me if i told them'.
he paced for a few moments then made a coffee, reeko still followed almost everywhere, 'humans amaze me all the time, i have a name which i am actually happy to have and i feel like i care for my human, it seems your feelings and emotions are rubbing off onto me Damien'
he sipped his drink and grinned, 'that’s not a bad thing reeko, having feelings and emotions is never a bad thing, yes so it don’t exactly make YOU human, but your getting the idea of how humans feel sometimes or in situations', reeko gave a huh to say that’s so true yet interesting.

'when i was at school age, i was always bullied, beaten, and my parents weren’t nice to me, as a small dependant child its heart-breaking for kids because they depend on those grown ups to make them feel safe secure and loved, but so many children do not get this from the people who are supposed to be older loving guardians.

'hmm that’s a sad thing to find out, how do those children cope' reeko said
'they cope in different ways, never trusting adults, keeping distant from everyone, some even go to do harm to others or themselves, its a way of escaping the feelings, the minds defence mechanism remember that' he smiled.
'yes i do, but why don’t things change for them cant they go and live alone'
'not old enough and not wise enough to survive alone, when they reach 16 and over that’s around the age of independence, some have to learn it sooner but try hard to find ways of surviving'.
