Dimitri (The Demon King #1.5)

Chapter 2 - Imagination

~ Dimitri 127 years old (Looks 17 human years old) ~

I hated doing this. I hated myself when I did it. Humans were our allies when my dad ruled over Rovana. But because of my stupid mistake, they hate us now and with good reason too.

Over fifty years ago, I went looking for the man that ruined my family. And once I came across him, I couldn't stop myself. I killed him. I hated him so much. I hated him with a passion.

But that was the worst mistake I could ever make. The Shadow that was controlling him, switched on over to my body. I didn't even know what a Shadow was. All I knew was that they were our enemies and once long ago we defeated them by joining forces with the humans. They were supposed to be extinct after that, but some managed to stay alive.

Now they're making a comeback. The leader of all the Shadows is currently residing inside me, planning on taking over Rovana. It's not strong enough to overpower me like it did with the human man. But it is strong enough to make me listen to it.

I'm supposed to kill. Killing is an act of evil and evil is the one thing that makes them stronger. The Shadow won't fully be able to take over me until I commit the right amount of evil acts it needs me to commit. And if I don't listen to it, the Shadow will kill me.

I really have no choice but to listen to what it says and kill humans. It's not something I'm proud of, but I have to do it. I can't let the Shadow take over Rovana. I need to protect Rovana, my Kingdom. Rovana is counting on me to do a good job ruling it since my dad is gone.

My dad was a great King. I don't think I could ever be as good as him. Especially considering what I've done. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be the King everyone wants me to be.

I groaned as I found Devon making out with his girlfriend on the couch. I took my shirt off and threw it on top of both of them. "I really don't need to see you two eating each other's faces off." I said causing them both to pull away. Devon threw my shirt away, glaring at me.

"You're just jealous that I have a beautiful girlfriend like Shayla, unlike you." He said causing me to roll my eyes. Shayla just laughed at me.

"I can get any girl I want, Devon. In case you're forgetting, I am the Demon King. And everyone wants to be with me." I said as I grabbed a glass and filled it up with beer. This beer was the kind that humans drank and it was actually pretty good.

"I don't want to be with your ugly ass self. I mean look at you." He sneered causing me to chuckle.

"Would you look at that Devon? You're drooling all over the place. Dude, I know I'm hot and my abs are driving you crazy but chill. We can't all have everything we want." I snickered causing Devon to glare at me. Shayla laughed and got up to high five me. I smirked as Devon gaped at Shayla.

"Why are you on his side?" He exclaimed. "He clearly wants to suck my dick." Shayla was dying of laughter now as I glared at him.

"You see maybe I would suck your dick, if you had one. But since you don't, I'm going to have to skip. Thanks for the offer though." I said and by this point Shayla could barely breathe.

"I honestly love you guys! You're both so funny!" She exclaimed in between laughter causing both devon and I to start laughing too.
