When Your Demon Takes Over

Chapter 9

Shae's POV (ohhhhh boi)

I knew this was going to happen. From the moment she walked in through those doors I could feel an evil presence. I knew something was up but I don't care much for the girl so I let her leave. The more time ran on the more I felt something was wrong. I tried to lock onto her energy but something was blocking it. I waited for her to call upon me but it never came. I had begun to lose hope...WE ARE A DEMON WE DO NOT CARE FOR THOSE LOW-LIFES. Then I heard it. A very faint 'Shae'. I didn't let Brandon know, I was waiting for the next one and it seemed like forever to hear her again this time it seemed like she was trying to gasp for air. Brandon soon caught on to me being so quiet and I told him to wait. Finally, I heard the magic number of 3. We teleported in and what I saw, even as a demon made my non-existent heart wrench. He unlinked us and I went into full demon mode. I wanted to kill those bastards to tear them limb from limb. But I listened to his orders to only do what they had done to Max. When I was done I walked back to him and rejoined. And I saw the mark on her arm and instantly I knew she was fucked for life. At the time I hadn't even thought about the "Binding Ruin" until now when Brandon was telling Max about it. Don't get me wrong any demon would jump at the chance of being to enter a human's thought at any time but I didn't find any joy in this. I just wanted Max to be safe. I think Brandon's feelings had begun to affect mine. Brandon and Max agreed on performing the Ruin ritual. I was scared. Although I was born long before being forced to be a part of dumb nut I have never performed a Ruin ritual. We would do it tomorrow at midnight since it would be a new moon. With demons we need darkness and we actually pull more energy from a new moon than a full one. 

Max's POV 

We had all just agreed to do it tomorrow night. Brandon and I headed out to get a bed for my room. We landed in a mall the town next to ours. We walked into one of the home decorating stores and went over to the beds. I found one that had a nice and comfortable feel to it. We bought it and signed up for them to deliver it. We went and bought a black and grey comforter and some pillows. We teleported back to the house. I was an hour before the bed arrived. We somehow got it up the stairs. 

"Sorry it's only on the floor right now but later we can get a frame for it." I smiled at him and then set up everything on the bed. It was 8 pm and it was getting dark. I laid on the bed for a bit before turning towards the window. I saw two glowing eyes looking directly it felt like we locked eyes and then it put a hand on the window dragging it down. I screamed afraid for what it was. As soon as I opened my mouth it disappeared. Brandon came running into the room.

"What happened?!?!" He yelled out of breath. I pointed at the window and the smeared handprint. He walked up to the window and looked at the handprint. 

"Max why is the handprint on our side of the glass?" I wanted to scream again so instead, I started to cry.

"Max, what happened? Are you okay?" He rubbed my back trying to get me to form a coherent sentence. 

"The...the thing...(sobs loudly) it was here the same day I had the nightmare." I choked out.

"Tell me more about your nightmare?" He asked.

"Well I told you how I woke up in my old hospital room and was in my gown and no one was in the hospital and it's like the lights were broken. I searched around for anybody I could find and the front doors were just fake doors painted on a wall. But then I heard a noise and called out to it. It said 'Guess who?' and I got scared and well y'now kicked it in its no-no spot. I ran and tried to hide but he found me and when he opened the cupboard I saw Shae's face. He then sat me in a chair said things like 'Max...I'm sorry. I can't be with you anymore. I will just hurt you it's in my genes to hurt the ones around me and it makes it easier for Shae to take over when you are around. I'm gonna end up hurting you so bad one day no one can fix you. Go, Max. Find someone else that gives you the life that I did for you. We can't be together we never could. I am not supposed to fall in love with a human you will just drag me down. I might as well just kill you right now since I know you won't listen to me.' and you...or he basically choked me to death but right before I 'died' I saw one of your eyes and one of his." 

"Wait what do you mean 'I saw one of your eyes and one of his'? He asked running a hand through his hair. 

"You have blue eyes and he has these brown eyes that look so dark they look black. When he is in control your eyes become brown and when you are in control they are blue. That's how I tell the difference. It's not that weird, is it?" 

"Max no human is supposed to be able to see the change in our eyes. To you, my eyes should always be blue. But you can see his?" I nodded yes. "So if I do this you can see his eyes?" His eyes changed to brown. I nodded. 

"Max I think I know why the devil had Mike and Justin mark you and why you keep seeing those glowing eyes." I made a gesture for him to keep going. "I think you were born into this life to be my purpose and just like when a demon is born they are given a purpose but I was never told mine. But from what I remember before my parents were killed they told me that if the demon's purpose is to protect or kill someone they can always see the change in the eye color. With regular demons, they can change from their normal red or green glowing eyes to a normal human color. But with me, Shae's are kept at a normal brown and mine at a normal blue. I think someone was sent up here to either kill you or take you away from me because this all started to happen after I told you what I was. It must have triggered something down there and released a demon. And I'm pretty sure I think I know who it is."
