The Demon Inside

Chapter 11

I looked at Matt then back at Scott, so glad he helped me finally find the one person we have been looking for this whole time! I could tell Matt knew Scott, but definitely did not know me. I didn't bother asking if he is whom I've been looking for.

"Hey." I said simply with a small smile.

He gave a nod then gestured to Scott he may come in. Scott took my hand, without permission, leading me inside. I could feel my hand warming up in the process even though he was ice cold.

The house was small but inside it was lovely and very old-fashioned. He had a small kitchen, one bathroom and bedroom, and a nice sized living room.

I sat down on the couch with Scott sitting close to me waiting for what's next. Matt started.

"So who are you exactly?" He looked at me intently.

"My names Ayla, I just moved here. "

"No, what are you." He said it again more as a statement then a question. I answer truthfully.

"A demon. Although, my mother is now a angel and I never liked Hell as a home." Scott scooted closer to me when I finished. Matt looked at me then him darkly.

"I told you I don't want to be found." That got my attention.

"Found?"

"Lucifer has been trying to track him down half his life to bring him to hell. " Scott explained.

" The hell I won't! I am not a part of him or his kind." He looked at me. "No offense."

"None taken..." I looked away for a minute to compose myself, then back at him. "Why does he want you?"

"Since I am apparently his 'son' because he played with my mom like a chew toy, he wants me to come live with him and become the new ruler," He said with venom on every word.

I wondered if maybe Austin knew about this, but then again if he did he would've told us by now and know who Matt was.

Why didn't Lucifer tell us? Did he want us to find him ourselves, alone? I wondered if maybe he did it on purpose, to make us think that we can have a life on Earth. To try new things. But he's too evil to be like that.

"I never knew you were his son, that means you have a brother and I am your cousin, I think."

He laughed softly at that and looked at me with a glow in his eyes.

"Maybe so."

"I also know why you wouldn't want to come to Hell. Lucifer isn't the best father...or uncle."

"Also why I never want to see him ever again."

I looked up at him confused. "Again?"

"Yeah, once when I was maybe 12 he came to say I can have a choice for Hell or Earth. And that if I choose wrong that when I come of age, I have no choice. Guess I picked wrong," he chuckled darkly.

I could feel some kind of tension, the silence made it worse. Matt was focused intently on me while Scott focused on him. Maybe Scott is worried Matt may do something in anger. I look at Scott with concern.

"You okay?"

He left his gaze and looked at me first with red eyes that somehow turned to the color of autumn leaves. He smiles to me with one of his rare smiles I started to like.

"Yeah."

I gave a smile back and felt weird about the whole thing that just happened. Suddenly, my phone rang with 3 texts.
