We followed the screams and found two adults and... and a demon? No, that's a human? What?
Cassian, Ray and Sonju are ready to fight. The two adults have fallen to the ground and are trying to back away.
The thing standing in front of us has to be at least two meters high, just like Zazie back at the hideout. It looks like a little girl. She has long red hair with two little horns coming out from it. I can see multiple brown eyes on her face and we can see some sharp teeth on her left cheek. Her left arm and her legs are those of demons and she also has a tail and they are a light purple.
She turned to look at us and I managed to catch the slightest glimpse of an ID on her neck. It's faint, like someone tried to erase it, but it's still there.
« Stop! Don't shoot! »
I put myself between the girl and the boys. Ray and Cassian look at me with a confused expression.
« Rose, get away from that thing! »
« I won't. »
I turn toward the girl and smile at her. She crouched to be at the same level as me.
« Hi. My name is Rosemary. Do you have a name? »
The girl tilted her head before smiling.
« They called me Demonica! »
« Ooh! That's a beautiful name. What are you doing out here all by yourself? »
Demonica sat down in front of me. She shrugged before extending a hand towards my hair and gently touched the flower in my hair. I let out a chuckle.
« I've been here for a long time so it's not weird for me. »
I approach her.
« All alone? »
She nod.
« These things scare me. »
Demonica points at the others' weapons. I look at them before looking back at her.
« Don't worry, sweetheart. They're not going to hurt you. Right, guys? »
I look back at the boys as they lower their weapons. I can see they're not too reassured. I give them a smile.
« We're going to a safe place. Do you want to come with us, Demonica? »
She looked at me for a moment before nodding.
« Yes! I want to stay with you! »
I smile and extend a hand towards her. Demonica gently takes it and smiles back at me. I then turn to look at the others.
« Let's go back to the hideout, guys. »
I saw Ray let out a sigh as he put his weapon away and started making his way towards us. Cassian did the same.
« Rose, please be more careful next time. »
I tilt my head and look at Cassian.
« And why so? Demonica is just a child. »
