My Devil.

The Real World

I followed his voice but in vain. All I could see was blackness, that kept closing in on me.

Then, when I had given up all hope, there he was. Standing with his angelic body glowing like a star in the night sky. He was perfect, but something was wrong.

He was clutching his bare chest, a glint of a knife flashed in my face, it was peeking out from his hand.

Then blood started pouring down his stature, coming from his wound in his chest. He took the handle of the knife between his fingers and pulled it out painfully slow. He whined in pain, watching his own blood trickle down to the floor.

He called my name before falling in slow motion to the ground, collapsing in a pool of red liquid.

Then a ear piercing noise filled the small area. It was words, being repeated over and over.

Toby.

I woke up in a pool of my own sweat and tears, I must of cried during my dream.

I scanned my location: not my bedroom, tanned coloured room, no Satan.

"Satan?!" I shouted in panic, what if he had died? No, he couldn't. He can't.

Then a soft voice came from another room that said my name. Satan came running through to me and wrapping his strong arms around me. He felt different; warm, not hot. Soft, not hard.

"Jesus Shannon, you don't know how worried I was" Satan whispered in my ear, his breath tickled a bit.

"What happened?" I asked. He sighed and pulled away before sitting down on the floor and staring into my very soul. God, his eyes; they were even more amazing than before. No trace of darkness in the sparkling hazel depths, just pure beauty.

Then he started telling the story.

"The fire, that we were in- you remember?" Breaking me away from his eyes and answering.

"Yeah"

"It almost killed us; it almost killed you" He choked slightly on the subject of me dying.

"I didn't know what to do, I-I was powerless. I was going to die" He paused and put his hand over his mouth, those brown curls falling over his eyes.

"But something happened, the fire- it, like- exploded! It was actually quite pretty, the way every strand of light fell from the sky. Then the light fell on you Shannon; and I realised, that we broke it. We destroyed everything. Our love broke the curse, it made me human again and we brought down the fire" I noticed that he was right, he was human! No horns, no dark clothing, no black eyes or burning skin, he was like me. But he was just the same in the way, he hadn't changed, only just turned into a better being.

"I remember too, my name is Toby Joe Turner, I work at YouTube" he said proudly. He can remember everything about his life? What if he had a wife or kids or in a relationship? What if he didn't want me anymore?

"Are you single?" I felt stupid asking it.

"Yes..But not anymore"

"What do you mean?"

"Will you be my girlfriend Shannon? I am human after all" Toby blushed and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes! I will" I grinned and we kissed for the first time in a new life.

"What about Kalek and Stark?" I asked.

"They just disappeared, they looked scared" Toby said proudly, obviously happy that they were scared for once.

"That's good" I mumbled, getting up from the floor and glanced out the window. Never had there been a more beautiful sight than this; the lights of L.A looked like little fireflies in the night sky.

"Are you okay?" Toby got up too and placed his palm on my shoulder.

"Yeah, it's just beautiful" I replied.

"Not as beautiful as you" Toby sighed, I could feel his warm breath on my neck.

I turned around to face him and what I saw shocked me. His face looked like golden shimmering dust in the light, fields of golden grass swaying in the wind were what his eyes looked like.

"No, not as amazing, beautiful, and astounding as you" I smiled.

The End.
