Saved From The Light

Part 5- Demon Guy Likes To Ramble

     So, now I'm just sitting in a tree about a week later. I like climbing trees in my free time, which I get a lot of since all I have to do is hunt. It's quite boring. I swing my legs as I hear a chuckle from behind me, so I calmly turn around and move my legs to the other side of the branch, continuing to swing them. The guy on another branch in front of me was grinning at me. He has sharp teeth, his feet had black scales up to just a bit above his ankle along with toxic green tipped claws, he had short black hair with toxic green tips and toxic green eyes that have slit pupils. He has a black scorpion-like tail and horns with toxic green tips, as well as a few big a** spikes with the same color along his spine. He smirks smugly at me, probably the one to turn me, "Hello, how's life?" I raise an eyebrow at him, "Aaand why are you asking?" He chuckles, "Oh, well you just look so lonely, sitting in this tree. Humans rejected you, I assume?" Before I could speak, he continues, "You probably have a lot of questions, right? And one of them being who did this to you? You loathe who did this to you, don't you?"

     Aaand, he doesn't wait for me to speak again, "Well, guess what? I'm the one who did this to you! I'm that terrible man! You're wondering 'why me', right? For my entertainment of course! To watch you suffer and cry as no human wants you, too bad I wasn't able to see your face when your own parents rejected you, I was busy. Oh, but I can no-" "Just shut up for one god damned second." He goes silent and looks at me in surprise, since I didn't interrupt him in rage, I just calmly said that. "For one, I could just tell you what my face looked like. It was an insane grin, glad I was finally free from having to listen to those f** idiots. For two, I'm not mad at you. In fact, I hated being human. Being a demon is refreshing. And yes, I know I'm a demon, a wolf told me. For three, I actually was waiting for when you'd appear. I want to be taught about demons, since I don't know jack sh** about them." He stands there in shock, being in a crouching position with his clawed hands and feet holding onto the branch and his tail balancing him.

     "Wait, sooo, you're not upset that your family and friends turned on you?" I shrug, "Didn't really have any friends at the time, and never really cared about my family, so it didn't really matter. Plus, I think I committed a famous murder and scared the sh** out of a bunch of people, once it went on the news. Just my guess though." He becomes more surprised, "You killed someone?" "Yeah, tortured him too. The jacka** tried to rape me. Heh, but the public won't know that, they'll just say he was 'an innocent who died a cruel death for no reason'. One of the reasons why I hate humans, they jump to conclusions way too easily... Which actually you just did too.." He just stares at me for a second, "Well, aren't you a unique one? I'll teach you, then. But how'd you get a wolf to speak to you? I mean, demons can understand every language, but not everyone is willing to talk to them." "Well, I'm kind of a part of their pack, but it's really boring so I'd be fine with leaving the pack to go with you, wherever the hell you're going." He nods, "All right, go tell them." I jump out of the tree and walk away as he leans against the trunk and waits for me.

     I told the Alpha about the demon finally arriving, then told him what had happened after he asked. He seemed mildly amused at how the demon was so sure of my reaction, but turned out to be wrong. He said bye to me as I left and went back to the demon guy. "What took you so long?" I grin at him, "Oh, nothing. Just told the Alpha of how shocked you were when I told you my thoughts." He jumps down from the tree and crosses his arms, "Why'd you do that? How was I supposed to expect a human reacting that way?" I shrug, "Just wanted to. And you're right, it's pretty rare for a human to not care about anyone. So, where are we going?" He smirks, "The demon world. Or as demons call it, Abarox." I hum, "Well, it sounds cool, but is it cool?" He shrugs, "Well, there are barely any rules there. You can kill and fight other demons as you please, you could even challenge the king there when he accepts challengers. But, if you challenge the king and lose, you'll die during the fight. I'll tell you more on this later, let's go." I grin, "Sounds fun. Lead the way." He nods and his tail begins to shake which makes a hissing noise, then his tail glows red and he strikes the ground with it, making his tail dim and the ground glow blood red. He waves me over, so I shrug and jump into the stickiness that looks and feels exactly like blood.

     After I get out of the portal thing, I look around to see I'm in some sort of hall, with a table of demons staring at me. I stick my tongue out at them, which seems to amuse them. The guy, who I still don't know his name, comes out of the portal and sucks the portal up with his tail, making it glow then fade again. "Sooo.. Who are you and who are they?" My tail sways slightly as I tilt my head at him. He sighs, "Well, I'm Kuliko, and they are too many to name. I forgot most of their names, but the demon at the head of the table is King Lacerous. My lord, this is Kayleigh." He bows toward the king, which is very colorful, "Err, okay then. Is that how I'm supposed to greet a king? 'Cus I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to kings and demons. Hey, how'd you know my name? Did you stalk me? You better not have seen me naked or I will f** maim you." I think I gained slight respect for that, but they probably think I can't back it up. He smirks, "Oh, I'd like to see y-" He was cut off by the blunt side of the blade on my tail hits him hard on the head like a shovel, making him stumble a bit.
