Demon Love

Chapter 2

the next morning i felt sick, my body ached an i was scared. i stood and walked to the door an headed downstairs. Chris is a nice guy i thought all he wants to do is protect me, maybe i can trust him it might be ok. that thought ended when i reached what appeared to be a game room filled to the brim with demons an here i was just a half-breed. c-can someone help me? i asked. they all looked at me, but the one boy stood and yelled "you don't belong here half-breed"  i looked down, if you show me where the door is i'll leave. he walked towards me and grabbed my wrist an yanked me down a hallway and a set of stairs. he threw me on the floor in front of a door. "now get out you worthless mutt" i walked out the door and he slammed it behind me. i sat in the grass and cried. this was the first time i honestly wanted to kill myself, but i began to feel a searing pain in my chest, followed by coughing blood almost vomiting full stomachs worth of . there were foot steps running towards me from the gate i glanced up an it was sophia, she screamed an asked why i was outside and where Chris was. all i could say was "i don't know where he is i was looking for him when a big kid told me i didn't belong here and kicked me out." i coughed more blood. she picked me up and taking me inside to the doctor, "take care of him i need to go find Chris"  over a loud speaker i heard her voice saying "Chris your needed in the infirmary please head there now." moments later he was there looking at me with tears in his eyes. "martin im sorry i left you alone are you ok?" i couldn't speak the pain was to bad, the doctor came in an said that id been bleeding internally for going on three days an its a miracle im alive and walking,he said he needed to do surgery within the next hour or id die...he put me under and everything went black....

Martin....martin, please wake up im sorry.

just open your eyes

72 Hours Later

Chris is that you, please say its you. Chris looked up at me with tears in his ice blue eyes an said,"y-yes its me oh thank goodness your ok" looking into his eyes trying to focus i ask "Chris can i ask you something?"yes anything go ahead. wh-why was that boy so afraid of you? he looks down trying to think of how to say this, its because this house your in belongs to me an i have rules that he broke by touching you, i tried to ask again in a different way, "but... what type of demon are you......what type of demon protects half-breeds."  looking down he silently prays that i would stay calm through his explanation. "i'm a hell fire martin...." my blood ran cold as i tried to back away from him. "st-stay away from me"  he tries to touch my shoulders to calm me down but to no avail.  "martin please you have to believe me i wont hurt you i swear..." panicking i scream at the top of my lungs.  "help! help! someone please help me he is gonna kill me!" Sophia came into the room yelling "what is going on in here?" i got up from the bed an clung to her long purple skirt crying, she picked me up and held me like i was her child. "Chris whats going on he is terrified?" he responded " he asked what type of demon i was...so i told him" oh my, she said "martin he wont hurt you, there are other half demons here to he opens his home to all of us you are safe" i didn't say i word just clung to her. "Chris ill talk to him why don't you let me take him to the market with me?" taking a seat hanging his head down low he responds " go ahead  Sophia just be careful with him."  she smiles trying to lift his spirits before answering "will do."

When we arrived at the market everyone we saw kept saying " hello there miss Sophia how are you this morning." everyone was so nice to her i must admit i was envious of how accepted she was. we walked into a stall that smelled of fresh baked bread and sweets. once again the people greeted her "howdy there miss Sophia your looking very pretty today, who's the little fella?" smiling she answers his question, "his name is Martin i'm looking after him for Chris this morning." leaning on his counter tapping his foot "oh really now how is master Christopher these days he rarely visits anymore." Sophia shifts me on her hip, "he is fine but he scared this little guy this morning so he is a bit sad now." forwarding down at me he asked"how did he scare him, the young master wouldn't hurt a fly?" patting my back "this little boy has been through a lot an when Chris told him what he was  martin was horrified." the baker grabbed a cookie from the jar and gave it to me and smiled saying "kid you may not know me but we are a lo alike i to am a half-breed, and i understand your fear, but he is a kind person you'll see." i looked at him amazed and said "h-how did you know i was a half demon?" he laughed an said, "nearly everyone here is even miss Sophia" i was to stunned to speak, then Sophia said "anyway hun i need my usual order for the house is it ready or am i to early?" "oh yea miss Sophia your all set let me go get it for you" can you walk martin, i mean are you strong enough to yet?" she asked me. "n-no miss Sophia i'm sorry", i held my head down, "i'm sorry, i'm so much trouble..." she looked at me an said "its ok dear i can carry you its no trouble at all." coming back to the room with the order he looks at us both "miss Sophia do you need help getting this back to the house id be happy to help ?" smiling to the man"id really appreciate that."  leaving the market i saw something that filled me with terror, i shook very hard an miss Sophia asked what was wrong, i said "th-those boys those three they are the one Chris protected me from" they saw me an walked up to miss Sophia. "hey pretty lady i think you have something that belongs to us" said Chester who was the oldest of the three, the youngest mark slapped my head an the middle Andre just watched smiling. Chester gestured to me and asked "do you mind if we take it back? some old punk took him from us a few days ago". " that old punk" she said," happens to be my master so ill be keeping martin thanks." the baker was far ahead an Sophia gestured for him to go get Chris, as she was backed into a corner an Chester began to talk "come on little lady i really don't like hitting girls its not my thing, so how about you hand over the boy" i trembled in fear an whispered in her ear "just let them take me, i don't want you to get hur...." before i could finish talking i was pulled from her arms by Chester "thanks little lady maybe i can make this up to how about dinner sometime?" she shouted "let him go you son of bitch" she rushes him to get but is hit in the stomach "no Chester" i shouted "please don't hurt her i'll go with you just please don't hurt her...." he gripped both his hands tightly around my throat "did i say you could fucking speak" yelled Chester "ehhh...." was all i could manage, Andre and mark grabbed miss Sophia and forced her to watch as Chester threw me to the ground placing his foot on my head. miss Sophia yelled at the top of her lungs for someone to help but no one came.... all i could think to say was "Chris...please help me..." before i knew it miss Sophia was holding me an i look up to see Chris in his full demon form...he was a bright red flame and his beautiful ice blue eyes were now as black as coal. he surrounded three of them in a ring of hell fire, and it was slowly closing around them. i was to scared to look but i could hear there screams of pain as the flames came ever closer, i couldn't let him kill them as horrible as they were to me i couldn't let it happen, so i broke away from miss Sophia and ran to Chris grabbing him around the waist burning my hands as i do and yelled "no Chris your better than this you said you wouldn't hurt me but if you do this ill never forgive you" his black lifeless eyes peered into my fear stricken gold ones  and his body began to cool an the flames disappear. i continued to hold him until he returned to himself. Chris looked an me again this time examining the burns he had caused and began to cry. he fell to his knees, i leaned down and kissed his lips slowly and passionately and he returned the favor. "i trust you now" i whispered into his ear.
