"I-I was going to be one of his victims..." I buried my face into his shoulder, tears pouring from my eyes. He tightened his grip on me.

"How did you escape?" I went silent for a moment, but sighed

"I woke up with him above me and he shouted 'GO TO SLEEP'. Before the knife caught me I moved and it hit the bed then I kicked him in the face and ran. But he threw the knife and it hit my leg so I ended up falling down the stairs, but I was able to stand and painfully ran out of the house. I then called the police. I don't know where he went but I haven't seen him since...." I was shaking in his arms. He looked shocked, but also confused.

"How long ago was this?" He asked me

"2 months ago" he nodded and stroked my head. It made me blush but I didn't want him to stop. It was comforting.

"I-I was going to be one of his victims..." I froze slightly. She was going to be a victim of jeff? If so how is she still alive? I hugged her tighter.

"How did you escape?" I needed to know. No one had ever escaped from jeffs clutches, or any of the others. It just gave me more reason to need to kill y/n, but i at least wanted to know how. She sighed.

As she explained to me how she escaped, all I could think of is now what? I needed to kill her, no wanted to kill her, but i felt like something was stopping me. I could have killed her there and then, but I couldn't find the strength to do so and it was weird. I had never not been able to kill a human before, and I didn't like it. It made me feel...weak. She then stopped talking.

"How long ago was this?" I looked at her

"2 months ago" I nodded at her and stroked her hair. I wasn't even sure why I was comforting her anymore. Was it to gain her trust, or was it because I actually wanted to make her feel better? It couldn't be. I was a demon, a killer of humans, there was no way I could have wanted to make her feel better. But I still couldn't kill her. As she held onto me, I still couldn't.

After a while of silence, I stopped crying and let go of him.

"Th-thank you Lucius" he looked confused

"For what?"

"For making me feel better" I smiled, but he didn't look happy. He almost looked angry.

"Are you okay?" I asked him. At this point I was becoming worried. He was doing a lost if weird things and I didn't understand why.

"I'm fine" he didn't sound too sure, but I left it. I didn't want to make him angry. I just nodded at him.

It was silent for a while as I held her in my arms and then she let go and looked at me.

"Th-thank you Lucius" I was confused

"For what?"

"For making me feel better" she smiled at me. I didn't know how to feel. I was sort of angry with myself. I was a demon for Christ sake. I shouldn't have been comforting her, I should have been killing her.

"Are you okay?" She asked me. I wanted to say no I'm not okay because I don't know why I can't kill you, but that would have been a bad idea.

"I'm fine" she went silent and nodded. I felt kinda bad, she only wanted to know. Wait what? I didn't know why I felt bad and I hated the feeling. I hated that I couldn't kill her, I hated that I helped her, but I didn't hate her. And that was the first time I had felt like that with a human....
