No Longer Will Darkness Prevail

"I Like You"

It was an average looking guy.

He has a slightly balding head with buzz cut brown hair, fair skin, and he was kind of tall.

He was wearing average clothing, and there was nothing special about him.

But none of that made me gasp.

What made me gasp were his eyes.

They weren't blue, brown, hazel, green, or any other natural eye color, they were yellow.

They. Were. Yellow.

That's what made me gasp.

He smiled down at me.

He reached down and helped me stand up.

He was strong.

I could feel it in his grip, but it was stronger than it seemed natural.

As soon as I was on my feet, I took a few steps back.

"Now, now, don't be like that," He said.

There was nothing special about his voice either.

Other than his eyes, there seemed nothing wrong with him.

So, why was I so scared of him, when I didn't even know him?

I didn't say anything.

"Ashley," He said with a smile.

I took another step back at my name.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

He chuckled.

There was nothing light or humorous in his laugh.

"I know a lot about you," He said taking a step towards me.

"Where as I know nothing of you," I said gaining some courage.

Strangely the smell of sulfur surrounded me.

I started looking around frantically, looking for the source, but that's when I noticed it was coming from the man in front of me.

That's why I was so scared of him so quickly.

He was a demon.

At that very moment, though, I didn't feel threatened, but I was taught to always keep my guard up.

He chuckled again.

"You will...in time," He said.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

I knew the answer though; I was just hoping I was wrong.

Of course I was wrong.

"You," He said simply.

I took another step back.

"I'm nobody important," I said.

"On the contrary," The yellow eyed demon said with a smile.

That smile of his made my insides turn, in a bad way.

There was nothing good about this demon.

 "You're important to me," He said.

I raised a brow at him.

"How?" I questioned.

"You can do things," He said.

My jaw dropped.

How many people were going to discover what I can do in one day?!

Of course, he's probably known for a while, he is a demon, and they know everything.
