Demon // EXO

Chapter 14

Walking up the path that lead 'home', I began mulling over all the creatures I'd seen and the information Minseok and Kyungsoo gave me. There was no trouble, thankfully, but my heart had been pounding painfully the entire time.

"What are they doing here?" Kyungsoo muttered, sharing a glance with Minseok as I looked up and at the front door of the house, noticing two figures leaning against either side of the door.

Minseok snarled softly and I pursed my lips, trying to see the figures that were too far away to make out any features. "I don't know. But they'll be crawling back to Satan if they don't scurry out of here."

"Brothers~" One of them sang as we got closer, waving their hands in the air like an excited child.

"I'm not in the mood for babysitting you pair," Minseok snapped, his demonic voice protruding through his calm aura as his eyes darkened into onyx orbs.

As we neared, I spotted two Male demons. One was shorter than the other, but both had an odd glint in their eye as if they were mischievous twins. Something about them made my insides turn cold, and I subconsciously stepped closer to Minseok.

Their eerie, black eyes settled on me, and simultaneously their mouths spread upwards into grins too big for their features. I fought the urge to cry out. "So this is the little girl Jungkook was telling us about," the taller one cooed.

"She's under Satan's protection." Kyungsoo spoke, his own demonic energy seemed to radiate from him in threatening waves.

The smaller one frowned dramatically, amusement still dancing in his depthless eyes. "We didn't say we were going to harm her, big brother. Just come for a look."

"You're not welcome." Minseok clarified, and for a split second I thought I spied the shadow of dark wings protruding from his back, but it was gone so quick I must of imagined it.

The taller one looked thoughtful, "Namjoon did tell us to stay away, but that makes us want to visit even more."

A unearthly coldness seemed to seep from Minseok, his fingers seeming to pale to the colour of frost. The ground rumbled in answer, and I felt Kyungsoo step closer to me, his own fists clenched. I looked down, noticing the concrete beneath Kyungsoo' feet was cracking ever so slightly.

I took a deep breath in, realising that the sudden change in atmosphere was due to the rising temper of the two demon brother's beside me. Something deep inside me stirred, knowing that the brother's were on edge enough to reveal their power's due to the smirking demons in front of us.

They'd been very careful to hide their powers so far, but now they were letting their control slip. It made me more nervous than I'd ever admit, that these demons were a threat enough to cause this reaction.

"You don't want to start a fight with us," Minseok warned, something about his tone had my head snapping to look at him. "There's nine of us."

"There's only two of you right now." The shorter one cooed with a mocking sad expression, there was something about his face that was stupidly attractive.

A crack of deafening lightening had me covering my ears with shock as another figure suddenly appeared in front of me. Electricity seemed to spark at his fingertips and through his hair as he spoke, "there will be the nine of us soon, younglings. Be wise and go back to where you came from."

I blinked at Jongdae in shock, not used to hearing him sound so serious. He turned to glance at me and his eyes had my heart beat silencing deep in my chest. The entire eye was clouded with an opal colour, like grey clouds, with sparks inside them like a severe lightening storm. I sucked in a deep breath as his blank face turned back towards the brothers before us.

The taller one snorted, something was so threatening and violent about him, but I couldn't place it with words. Not as his onyx eyes were staring at me, a terrifying half grin set on his glorious features.

"Take your leave, Jimin and Taehyung." It was Junmyeon's voice that broke the silence, I turned around to see him walking up the concrete pavement with an odd sort of look set on his face.

"We do not take orders from you, Suho." The taller one goaded, taking a few steps closer towards us as Junmyeon moved to meet him halfway.

I frowned, Suho? Junmyeon glanced briefly at me, as if hoping I didn't hear it. But I did, and I wanted to know why everyone suddenly seemed even more on edge than before.

"No, you don't. But you will not find the outcome pleasant if you linger here any longer, Taehyung." Junmyeon stated, crossing his hands in front of him. He seemed so calm, whereas the others seemed almost... nervous?

Taehyung made an amused face as he lifted his hand. The three brothers surrounded me went tense all at once as Taehyung's hand reached and touched Junmyeon's pale cheek, a small smile lining his features.

"You will find, big brother," Jimin spoke, walking closer towards us himself, "that we do not fear you."

At that, chaos ensued.

Taehyung's hand clamped across the side of Junmyeon's face. Hearing the sound of Junmyeon's shout set the other three brother's into action as they abandoned me and shot forward, yells of world ending rage echoed through the air.

I was already running. Running towards the front doors of the house, hoping I could move around the soon to be fight and throw myself into a house I'd considered safe.

But I was cut short as lightening burst through the world, cleaving the air like a sword slicing through the spine of a mortal man, as Jongdae had thrown himself at Taehyung, only to be grabbed by the latter male and thrown to the ground as if he was simply a piece of rubbish.

I shouted a warning, reaching my arm out towards Kyungsoo as I spotted Taehyung turning his attention towards him, an uncomfortable thrill was present on the male's face.

My arm was grabbed, however, and I realised I'd completely forgotten about the other, shorter brother as I was suddenly face to face with him. His beautiful face seemed to make me pause, and something within told me to keep still, to be quiet, as a demon with such a lovely face would never hurt me.

"Isla!" A voice came from behind me, and I recognised it as Yixing's, but Jimin's grip had already tightened and I felt the constriction on my chest as Jimin teleported us.

Darkness followed.
