Demons.......by Imagine Dragon
I met this girl the day that I ran away from my family's suffocating mansion. She pretty and glowing. She wasn't scared of my huge physique.
She's like an angel in my demonic world. I don't want her to see my world, cuz it's dark inside. It's we're my demons hide, and don't want her to see them.

"Damien let's go!" Angela cheered.
"Yes I'm coming Angel," Damien chuckled. "Aren't you excited," he added sarcastically.
Angela feel like something's bothering Damien and he's just hiding it. Ever since last week he's been acting weird. They have known each other for four or five months already, but she still feels like he doesn't want her near his 'bubble'.
"Totally! Today is the kind of days you can get out of your cage of a house." She pouted, "I mean I really like your house and your family. But you never get out at all."
Damien never know how to tell her about... stuff. But as much as he could, he will keep her away from his dark world.
"Ok, sooo where are we going?"

"This tastes good. Do you want some?" Angela beamed up at Damien, offering him her ice cream.
"I'm good," he smiled down at the cheerful pixie.
Angela stared at Damien. It's really hard for her to figure out if he really smiling; like a smile that reaches his eyes. She had never seen his eyes, cuz he always wears sunglasses, really dark sunglasses.
You know the saying 'your eyes is the window to your soul'? Even though she just met him a few months ago, and they're just friends and all, Angela want to see bits of his world.
"Hey, didn't you promise to show me your eyes? I mean I bet they're really cool and pretty--"
Damien suddenly stiffen. He's not even listening to her anymore. His eyes are dangerous. Deadly. Full of darkness. He doesn't want Angela to see it. Damien wants her far from it. But he won't ever let her go, to be away from his angel will kill him.
"-- and a promise is a promise." Angela cheered. But her smile fell when she saw Damien's expression. "Dame? Are you ok? Um, do you want to go home?" She started to get up, but a hand pulled her back down.
"No. No. I'm ok." Damien tried to smile. But Angela noticed that it's forced. "How about I walk you home? We'll take the long route."
"Are you sure---"
"Ya I'm cool. Come on," he interrupted. Damien doesn't want Angela to worry at all. She's too precious to be exposed to his demons.
---
While he walks Angela home, Damien's mind is full of thoughts. It's full of 'what ifs', 'buts', and other stuffs. He can never explain his demonic world to a mortal. Much more his angel. It'll wreck her. Scare her. He doesn't want that life for Angela.
Damien glanced at the angel walking by him. She has a wavering frown. She's trying to figure out what's wrong with Damien. Or if it's her fault.
The walk felt shorter than it usually felt like. Usually they joke around before Angela goes home, but now joke are all aside and left behind.
Angela watched Damien walking away. For some apparent reason, it hurt inside.
---
It's been a week since Angela last saw Damien. Now she's thinking that he probably hated her because of her nosiness.
"If you see Damien don't talk to him," she tells herself. "Ok that's kinda mean. At least act like you didn't see him." That's kinda meaner.
She tries to distract herself by doing her chores, but everything around her reminds her if Damien. On her hallway, instead of her families pictures, there hangs frames after frames of her and Damien's pictures.
---
The whole day, she catches herself day dreaming about his mud-brown hair, and stuff that she shouldn't.
Even reaching for a potato makes her think if him. Now shopping feels so long and dragging.
For some weird reason her mind I'd playing those stupid tricks. She feels like someone is digging a hole through her head.. Angela suddenly reacted and started to fast walk.
She turned to the ally between KALSH and CFK. Angela's relieved that she lost whoever that was. When she turned around Damien's there staring at her. Hurt?
"Damien? What's wrong?" Angela asked. Then she noticed he's not wearing his sunglasses. His eyes, they're silver?! Not light blue or gray. Silver.
"Dame oh god, you're eyes are beautiful." She started to move towards him.
"You have no idea how hard this is for me to show you what my world looks like. You have no idea how dangerous I am to humans, to you. I want to protect you from my dark wold. But with my beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide." Damien's eyes are full of depth and darkness, but Angela's hoping to bring light to the world he's talking about.
"I'll admit, that's kinda creepy. But hey, in still here. I won't leave. I don't want to leave." Angela boldly leaned in and kiss Damien, and he actually responded. After a few more tiny kisses, Angela leaned back and looked at his eyes. Then she said, "I love you."
