Tainted Hearts

The Red & The Blue

[Rewritten: ☑]

After hours of soaring throughout the sky, the demon finally spotted a small village.
"Sweet."
He then landed in the middle of the village with an insane speed, resulting the ground to crack and shakes.
The villagers turned their attention to the demon as they're all shocked and horrified.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen."
The demon waved at the villagers before he suddenly created a burning hot flames from his hands as he then released them causing the fires burns the nearby houses and woods, etc.
The villagers screamed in fear and ran for their lives. The demon then saw what he interested and missed so much on, humans with their survival instinct.
They left everything behind, including their families, relatives, and even children and infants. They abonded them, burning to ashes, just for the sake of their survival.
And here I thought that they have changed, how hilarious. The demon thought to himself.
He watched the chaos unfolds at the village, the whole he was grinning. The screaming of the adults, the cries of the children and the infants who were burning alive. It gave him JOY.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, only the sound of burning fire was heard and nothing more. Every single living being who once lived in this burning and destroyed village, was dead... Including those who tried to run away. No survivor. The village with many piles of corpses, only one standing which is the murderer.
He froze in place, staring at the ground with no face visible, with no thoughts.
The ghost had been watching the entire time with interest and awe.
"Wow, just wow..."
The ghost was speechless. He then hover down nearing where the demon was... Yeah, was.
"Huh? Where the hell did he go?"
The ghost looked around but no demon in sight, as if he had completely disappear.
The ghost sighed in disappointment thinking the demon had already left, but that was until the ghost saw the demon silhouette. Had regained hope, he then continued to look for him again.

The demon entered one of the many destroyed house.
There he saw the inside was a mess; the rooftop was destroyed, but under it he saw a woman with her head crushed by the fallen rooftop. He could see an eyeball sticking out with the other one nowhere in sight.. Presumably destroyed. Her brain was destroyed, now looking like a mud mixed with the blood. But not only that, he could hear a child crying on a room.
He walked towards the room then opened it as he entered it. He saw a child around 3 years old, with his stomach totally destroyed. The intestines strangling his right arm, his blood kept on flowing down from the wounds to the ground, his jaw dislocated and his skin was very burnt which got the demon wondering how was the child got into this situation... Well, specifically and how was the child still alive. Since the demon was now on a calmer and saner state, he put his hand onto the child's head before he pulled it ripping the head of the dying child, ended his life and suffering instantly, as blood splattered onto his clothes and face, painting him red.
After that, he left the house.

The ghost was still looking for the demon, as he was about to take a left turn- He stumbled upon the person he wanted to met.
"Huh... Huh.. HUH! AH! I FOUND YOU, DEMON!"
"Hah?"
'A survivor? I thought I killed everyone already... Ehh, whatever... Die.'
The demon summoned his fire as he then fired it to the ghost, but it phased through.
Shocked, a one surprised white eye formed on his face with a frown visible.
He tried using telekinesis to the ghost only to no avail, the ghost expression was confusion.
"... WHAAAAAT!!!!"
The demon shouted as the ground began to shakes again.
"Woah!"
And just like that, the demon fainted.
Dear readers do not ask why demons can faint, some things are better left unknown.

"Ah-!"
"Hello, you fainted.. Although that's not what I was expecting from a demon, heh."
"What... What the hell are you?!"
"Me? I'm a ghost, a vengeful spirit to be exact... Buuuut I kind of forget who killed me or how he or she killed me, which really is boring ugh..."
The demon was in confusion. He had never heard of such thing as ghosts.
Even when the time he had visited earth a couple centuries ago, no one had mentioned such thing to him.
"Wait... Don't tell me you didn't know what's ghost... Ya know supernatural being?"
"... Supernaturals-?"
"Aughhh... I thought you're a demon with great knowledge.. Let me explain."
'Hm, this could be a good information... They might just let me return if I tell them this information!'

"There are three groups of humanoid beings, one roams or one terrorize earth. They're ghosts, werewolves, demons. You are a supernatural."
"So, humans gave us a title their own made, huh?"
"You could say that. Ghosts originate from a human's spirit, werewolves can be pure or mix, the same goes to you demons... Well if that's what The Higher Beings said... I don't remember much."
'Ah! Kind of explains why there's a demon who looks like a human very much... They're supposed to be a sinner.. Ugh, I really should learn more.'
"You understand now?" The ghost raised an eyebrow as the demon nodded slowly.
'Now that I think about it, he knows some information I don't... Maybe he could be my company, Yes, I wouldn't mind that.' The demon thought to himself.
"What is your name, if I may ask?"
"The name's Alex, yours?" He asked back as he offered a handshake.
"May you call me.. Hmm... Andrew."
He was about to accept the handshake only for his hand phased through the ghost's hand.

Both of them laughed.
"It is nice to meet you, Andrew"
"I could say the same, Alex. And would you accompany me through my time on earth since I don't really know what's changed here.."
"Oh, I'll be glad to! Yes, of course! Many things has changed."
Both of them started to walk away from the destroyed village with no survivor...

perhaps.

Both of them arrived at a forest, they kept on walking until eventually they realized that they had no destination.
"... Oh yeah... What now.."
"Hmm... I mean it's currently midnight, so why don't we take a rest first? I must assume you're pretty tired."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
The demon then fell to the ground, looking to the sky before quickly falling asleep.
The ghost on the other hand, did not needed sleep. He gazed upon the sky that was filled with countless shining little stars with the crescent moon now on the middle, shining the most.

It was rather a comforting view.
