When Your Demon Takes Over

Chapter 10

"Who?" I asked scared but severely curious. 

"My brother..." 

"YOU HAVE A BROTHER!?!?!" He nodded. 

"Technically he is my twin. But he was somehow born completely demon unlike me. My mom was a very powerful demon in her living days and my dad was a very special person. He was a scientist that was trying to uncover the truth about supernatural theories but in the process was put on a list to be killed. My mom was sent to kill him but instead faked his death and fell in love with him. And they had me and my brother. Once the devil and the other high up demons found out they let them raise us for 5 years and then were executed on our birthday. My brother blamed me for it. He ran off to hell and stayed there while I came into the human world and worked on blending into human culture. I was sleeping on the streets and begging for food until I was 8. I was placed in school skipping the first few grades due to me learning how to manipulate. I then found a family that took me in for awhile until they were killed too. They left their fortune to me in their will due to them never being able to have children so they treated me as theirs. With the money, I moved out to here and bought this house then put up ruins around the house protecting it from other creatures and humans. No one knows this house exists although these people in this town have known me since 8th grade. I stored the rest of the money in a private bank. I use it when I need too. But I always had this nagging in my head that someone was watching me but when you showed up you overpowered that feeling and only after I told you who I was that I began to feel it again. When you described what the eyes looked like I knew it was him. He is the only one that has the power to enter your dreams due to our blood connection. How he left a handprint on the inside of the glass scares me because this house is protected from everything that I know of. But maybe he is a loophole because of our blood. Max, I will not let him take you away. Next time he shows up try to take a picture. Or signal me to come. I need to know his motives." I hugged him and began to cry. He hugged me back harder and then wiped my tears away. 

"I heard you wanted to speak with me?" We both turned around and saw another person in the house. He was very tall and had bright blue hair and wore a red hoodie with black pants. I could see massive gauges in his ears. Was this his brother? (He had good style at least) I heard him chuckle. "Oh, the girl thinks I'm cute."

 "I DO NOt. Brandon who is this?" They both chuckled. Oh, no...that chuckle only came from Shae. 

"BROTHER!! I missed you. Well, I did but this human nutsack I'm stuck with sure didn't." I stared at them both in shock. They hugged and then both turned to me. 

"We haven't been formally introduced. I'm Nathaniel...Brandon's brother. The better one too. And your name, miss?" He reached out a hand and I slapped it away. "Excuse what did you just do?" His eyes went from a normal olive green to the bright glowing green eyes I had seen too many times now.

"I slapped your hand away NATHANIEL. Do not touch me. I don't care for you and as long as Brandon feels the same way about you then so do I." He disappeared and I felt him behind me, I felt his breath on my neck and the feeling of his hand running up my back and then around my throat. He squeezed hard then let go still on my neck. 

"I could kill you right now and my precious brother couldn't do anything about it. So I'll ask again, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" I felt tears fall down my cheeks. I looked into Shae's eyes begging for help but he was stone with no emotion behind them he just looked at me then away. 

"My...my name is Max." I wanted out. I wanted Brandon. I wanted my mom. 

"Do you fancy my brother?" He squeezed as he said 'brother'. I choked for a bit until he let go. 

"No, I do not. He is just my friend." I felt his lips on my neck and something pointy trailing along with them. 

"LIES. I can see in your head. Unlike my brother, I was born with abilities. The only thing he can do is teleport but that is only because of Shae. But with me, I can read minds and move any object I want. So I suggest you don't lie again or you'll end up back in the same situation with Mike and Justin." I gasped and whimpered. "Oh, lass don't be scared they wouldn't be the ones doing it this time. It'd be me and if Shae behaves him too. But that will only happen if you lie again. Okay?" I nodded. 

"I consider your brother as more than a friend but I would not say he is my boyfriend. He is just my safe place and he is my person. There is that good enough for you?" I spat angrily. I tried to get out of his grasp but only succeeded in him wrapping his other hand around my waist. 

"Tell me now, that day when you told my brother that you would have rather been tortured by a demon than be without him and deal with what happened, were you telling the truth? Because I saw what happened to you, every beating, every time those boys touched you. But sweetheart do you really think being tortured by someone like me or Shae would have been better?" I gulped and tried to figure out what my answer should be. If I say yes what if he takes me and tortures me? If I say no then does he consider that lying? I was so scared right now and I know Shae wouldn't help me. He never cared.

"I don't know. I said those things back then because my image of a demon came from books and tv. I didn't know how bad they could be. I would have said anything to make your brother mad." 

"I heard that you plan to override the mark I had those boys carve into you. Is that true Shae?" I felt him stare daggers into Shae from the slight step-back. 

"We were planning on overriding it with the 'Binding Ruin' we had decided that that was the best ruin for the situation." He peeked at me for a moment and in those few seconds, I saw regret and fear. 

"I just don't think that would be any good. I much like being able to find this one whenever I please. And because of the ruin and them engraving the devil and me's crest into it makes it so I can pass by my brother weak attempt at protecting this house. And I would be sad if I couldn't find her whenever. I mean what if my brother goes psycho and hurts her. Someone would have to save her. As she seems to be very valuable to me." He teleported in front of me and stroked my cheek I squirmed away. He frowned and harshly pulled my chin to where I was very close to his face. "See these fangs doll, I could drain you of every drop in your body or cause so much pain you would give up or make any deal for me to stop. So be a good girl and cooperate." He closed his mouth and smirked as he saw the fear in my eyes. 

"Please...please let me go. I didn't do anything. I didn't ask for this. Please just let me leave." I begged but I slowly got to see Shae but saw his eyes fading to blue as I finished my sentence. 

"Hey if she says she wants to leave then we should just listen to her, right? Nah I think I'll stay for a while and see why my brother likes you so much." I felt something hit my head and things started to go dark. 

"BRANdon help me..."
