Hellborn

Conversing with the Devil

Her eyes were red with tears but still her hazel eyes shone through. I could see the look of astonishment on her face. "y- you're the...." she stuttered. "you're welcome" I said with a reassuring smile. She smiled back wiping her tears away while shaking her head at the ground. "are you this smooth with every other girl?" she poked fun at me. "um... you're the first girl I've talked to..." I replied blushing slightly. I could here her giggle slightly and she invited me to sit with her. Obviously I jumped at the chance. So we talked for a few hours or so, got to know eachother. Finally I found out her name, Annabel. It was getting late, the park was shrouded in darkness apart from the solitary bench we were on. "I'm not a damsel in distress you know" she suddenly said. "are you trying to say you didn't need saving" I replied cheekily. "shutup you!" she retorted playfully punching my arm and smiling. We just sat there a bit longer, enjoying eachothers company. She was shivering so I offered her the black hoodie I was wearing. As I was pulling it off she noticed my deformed arm. "what the hell happened to your arm!" Annabel shouted while backing away. My arm was unlike anything she had seen. It was red and black for starters, with spikes projecting from the outside of my forearm. I had completley forgot about it and I began panicking. Snatching back my hoodie I made a hasty escape with shards of tears falling from my eyes. Her sweet voice brought me back though "Arakai, please come back" she shouted, It sounded like she was about to burst into tears. So I did, I walked back to her clutching my deformed arm. We stood face to face and she placed her hand on my demon arm. "what are you?" she asked, "if I told you, you wouldn't believe me" I replied. "please, I promise I won't judge". I sat her back down and told her my story. She seemed to take it all in quite well and we said our goodbyes with her giving me a quick peck on the cheek. My face flushed red which made her giggle and I smiled back. We planned to meet up at the same time the next day. I just couldn't wait!
