A Demonic Fairytale

~4~

Lavenders POV

I snap out of my deep thoughts and finally stand up walking to the small oval shaped door that leads to the main area of my small cottage wondering if I should make myself something to eat before I leave for the rose bush. I shake my head, shaking away all the thoughts and feelings that suddenly creep in. I decide not to make food and just head to the bush not wanting to keep him waiting in case he has already shown his beautiful eyes once more in the glistening sun after all these years. walking through yet another awkwardly oval shaped door, I step outside to see the bright sun lighting up the shaded walkway down to the rose bush. The excitement but crushing anxiety falls over me as I get closer to the bush. sadness soon rushes in realizing he hasn't shown yet. the deep thoughts of maybe he was just lying to me rushes back in. I decided to give him a few more moments as it is a far walk from the demon realm, and sit on the small mushroom stool that has been sitting outside near the bush for almost a decade. I added it when I was 10 hoping that one day while just sitting out here he would decide to show his beautiful face again. He never did. not until i ran into him by wandering in the demon realm. The time passes and the sun gets dim, showing signs of setting soon, he still never showed up. realizing that the bush needed water again i walked over to the small watering hole leaning down and grabbing the rusting iron pail, filling it with water. I get back to the bush, it's dark now, the only light that is seen is the small solar lights that I got a few years ago when I traveled through the human realm. carefully to not be caught by a human. I water the bush deciding since he isnt going to show I should head back in case him telling me that the demons no longer hunt in fae forest was also a lie. I wouldn't dare to be caught by one, not after what they did to my older sister and my mother. As I turn I hear the snapping of sticks and leaves. my head and eyes snap over to where the sound came from, when all of a sudden i see a dark figure emerge from the shadows. it's him, it's my darkened horned boy. The first thing I notice about him is his wings, something I never noticed about him before. How did he not lose those knowing he lives in the demon realm is beyond me. "hey." my voice shallow and weak, scared by what could happen to me in the darkness of the night. He is a demon after all. He steps closer and seems to also be scared, i couldn't tell you what he was scared of, maybe me? maybe himself? maybe what his pack would do if they found out that he was associating with me, a fae. my body trembles as I try to step closer to him. what is this weird feeling, it isn't horror or fear, it's not happiness or sadness. my voice shakes as i go to speak again. "you made it, i didn't think you would." he steps closer making him within reach. I want to touch him, I want to hug him, hold his hand or maybe I want to smack him for making me wait for him for hours scared and panicking over if he was going to show or not. wait is he mute no he couldn't be he whispered to me to tell me to meet him here. Maybe he is scared of me. scared of what he could do to me, after all he did try to lunge at me years ago before my father called me home for supper. I try not to dwell on the past memory now knowing that he could have taken my life that night, but it's hard to not have a crushing anxiety over it knowing that if he wanted to he could take my life at this very moment.

Eclipse's pov

Lost in my train of thought of how stunning she looks up close, my body aches i want to reach out and grab her. not in a horror i'm gonna eat this bitch but in a sweet loving let me hold you and show you the world. i can't stop staring at how beautiful this sweet fae girl is, how beautiful my fae girl is. why am i calling her mine, i'm part demon it would never work out i couldn't take her home to meet my father or my friends they would kill me and most importantly they would kill her. but i can't help to call her mine. i've longed for meeting her again, i wish the moment we met again was of a fairytale but it wasn't we met again while one of her kind was being met in hand with death due to us, due to the demons that found where she was hiding. the same location i stayed in hiding with my mother all these years ago. she stares at me so intently like she's trying to decipher my next move. i can read the fear in her face. am i the reason she's scared? my voice deep and hollow, i finally speak. "I did make it, I got lost but I remembered I had a pretty little fae waiting for me and I found my way here." god her face could light up an entire forest with the smile she gave me. me the scary demon boy got her to smile. What is this feeling I have, is it lust, is it greed, or is it just sheer love? I don't even know this girl, and I swear I would stop the world from spinning and aging us if she told me to. I finally talked myself into grabbing her hand. It's small but feels like it was made perfectly for me. I pulled her closer into a hug. she smells amazing, but not the scent of fae. She smells like citrus and flowers. if it wasn't for the beautiful wings and the sharp pointed ears i would tell you she was a human in disguise. this wasn't the smell that demons caught by fae, or maybe it is and the fae in me is covering the demon in me, the horrible monster i am. she wraps her arms around me and breathes out as if she had been holding her breath this entire time. I hear twigs snapping in the distance, I feel like running but I can't leave her behind. I would feel as if it was my fault if she were to get hurt. instead i unwrap my arms from around her waist. turning around and pulling her behind me as the noise of leaves being stepped on got louder and louder. That's when I noticed the scent. it's not a pleasant one when you're seeing someone in hiding. My other creator soon appears out of the shadows. How did he know I left? How did he know where I was? the deep booming voice came from him "ECLIPSE DARKWING." is all i heard before i felt the soft tug on my shirt from behind me. I can tell she's scared. I'm in a panic but I have to be strong. "what do you want father." is all i could mutter out. "I TOLD YOU WE DONT HUNT IN FAE FOREST WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE FOR. PROBABLY OUT BEING THE FUCKING PIX YOU ARE HUH? YOURE A WORTHLESS FUCKING DEMON. I SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU ON THE SPOT WHEN I FINALLY FOUND YOU ALL THOSE YEARS AGO." his voice littered with anger. "I wasn't hunting father. I was looking for the bush I was telling you about all those years ago." I shake with fear but knowing that I have the short and stocky fae girl behind me. That's when I noticed the way his head was scanning the area. I know he can smell her. it wouldn't be me he smells he's grown accustomed to my scent. That's when he pulls me from in front of her and stares harshly at her. "So you were just looking for a rose bush. Why do you have a goddamn pix hiding behind you?" he looks at her with disgust. "She's utterly lucky we don't hunt here any more." he spits venom in his words. "maybe because its her fucking bush she planted it years ago before we ever locked eyes and dont call her a fucking pix. she's a fae not a pix. we stopped using that derogatory term for them years ago." I spit back defending my sweet girl. she stumbles backwards trying to step away from me. "you have two choices eclipse. break hunting rules and kill her now or leave and never see her again." not wanting to harm this innocent girl i sigh and follow my other creator back to the demon realm.
