The Demons Tale

Almost there

When I turn around and grip my sword for a fight I see Steph standing there looking at me with more fear than Bear could ever have while looking at me. The two of us stand there and just stare at each other not knowing what to say to one another. As I finally actually study this girl I notice some things I didn't in that theater. She has light brown hair almost to her shoulders, her eyes are silver, yes but, they are darker now than when in the theater. She is about 5 foot 8 inches, she has an average body for a 19 year old girl. Never have I actually found so much interest in a woman until this day. I am just going to say it, she's beautiful and as I am still studying the girl she interrupts my thought trail, "Damion, we never really talked at the theater and back at Bears you walked out. What is going on?

I avert my eyes from hers and reply, "I-I am just realizing something today that I never have really realized before anytime in my life. Something that is very much confusing me. There is something about you that makes me wonder, what are you?"

"Damion, time will tell that but, in the meantime you need to tell me what is going through your head."

"There isn't anything going through my head except for the wondering of why you followed me."

"I followed because you could get lost now that you have seen Bears cottage."

"You mean to tell me there is other places that I didn't know about in this forest?"

"Yes, there is much about this forest you didn't know. This forest is one of a kind in how it is."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that this forest is endless."

I stare at this girl trying to figure out if what she is saying is true because from above this forest is only 500 miles long and 300 miles wide. She breaks my train of thought, again, "Damion now that you have seen Bears house you cannot leave this forest."

"How long have you known Bear?"

"Long enough to not have left this forest right after we met in the theater."

"You mean to tell me that you and Bear have been friends since not long after we have met?"

"Yes Damion, there is much you don't know about me and Bear. We are very different from you and other demons."

"I see that now." As soon as I said that Steph started to step slowly backwards looking at something behind me. "Steph what is wrong?"

She continues to stare a whatever is behind me than she freezes not being able to move. When I see she can't move I slowly turn around, materializing my sword into my hand, and preparing for a large battle.

When I turn around I am standing face to face with a man. The man then speaks, "I have been searching for you Damion."

I stare at him wondering how he knows my name, "Why have you been looking for me? And how do you know my name?"

"I have known you your whole life Damion. I have been waiting for this day. The day we meet face to face."

"What do you mean by you have known me my whole life?"

"I have been watching you and now here we are."

"You are going to die today if you do not leave now!"

The man laughs, "You think I will die? I was sent by someone the girl knows well and he isn't happy."

"What." I turn to Steph and look at her. "Do you know anything about this?"

Steph stands there with her face still white as a ghost, "Damion I haven't told you something."

I stare at her with a look of concern, "Steph what is it?"

"I have an ex that is angry with me."

I stand there and look back and forth at the man and Steph when the man charges at me and kicks me in my side, "You are going to die today Damion!!" As he kicks me my sword flies out of my hand and disappears. The man speaks again, "Awe poor little demon. Your mommy and daddy aren't here to help you know are they?" My eyes turn a bright crimson red and I charge at the man bringing him to the ground.

"Never bring my parents into this!!"

The man laughs once again, "You think that I don't know what you did? Does she know what you did?"

Steph stares at me with more fear than before, "Damion what is he talking about?"

I pale and my eyes turn a blood red. As I look at Steph her concern for me is strong and I don't want to upset her so I turn back to the man and throw a ball of fire at his chest. As The fireball hits him he gets tossed backwards and remains motionless. "He was a waste of my time." I turn and walk back towards the house cottage and Steph stops me.

"What was he talking about?" She has a look of concern and a hint of fear in her silver eyes.

"I will tell you soon but, not in this situation. Not here" I take her hand and smile, "Lets go back to the cottage and make sure Bear is ok."

Steph looks back at me and pulls her hand away from mine and walks towards the cottage. After a few minutes I return to the cottage and Bear is standing outside with nothing but rage in her eyes, "How could you!"

I step backwards a little, "What did I do this time? Save her life and my own? What?!"

She glares at me and turns her back to me, "Your lucky I don't use my magic on you."

I stand there motionless not knowing what to say to her as she clenches her fists trying not to attack me. She finally turns back around, "What are you keeping from Steph and I? Tell me or I will make you leave."

I continue to stand there and stare at her. I open my mouth then shut it afraid to say my secret. I then tell her something I can say, "I am the reason your father died."

She stares at me and her face pales as white as a ghost, "W-w-what?"

"I am truly sorry."

At that moment she loses her cool and throws a ball of white magic at me. I catch it and drop it to the ground, "Bear don't do this. I don't want to hurt you."

She stares at me with pure anger, "You have already hurt me enough! Nothing can be worse than this!"
