The demon I fell in love with

My first and last hunt

I remember it like it was yesterday... My names is Jackson and my family hunts down an significant creatures that lurk in the forest. When I was only a toddler they took me to go hunting with them for the first time, I was scared of being out in the dark, quite forest and stayed near my mom's feet while we were out there. I looked up at the sky to see the stars and admire the beauty they hold.

"Stay close Jackson." My mom told me while m dad was in front of the both of us with his little book that held information about each species that lived in these areas including the abnormal. Before I knew it a tall black figure with sharp end tentacles, white eyes, sharp teeth and claws stood forward while letting out a shriek then attack my dad. Fear crashed onto me quick and I ran to hide from the creature known as a reaper; my dad has been trying to catch one for a long time because they're very special. I heard a small "psst". I ignored it. "Psst! Over here!" The voice whispered, I turned to see a little reaper that was close to my height but a few inches taller, he looked at me and motioned an "come" hand motion at me. I walked to him and he lead me to an inside tree hideout.

"Hi! My name is Marion, what's yours?" He asked me, I stuttered my words as I didn't much enjoyed talking.

"I-I'm J-J-Jackson.." I stuttered out while still scared from the adult reaper's sudden appearance. He talked about himself for a while then let me talk but I didn't say much while hearing what was his parents and my parents fight. He then grabbed colorful strings to make a bracelet on my wrist with my little cheeks getting a bit red. I thanked him while he smiled soft and talked to me more and I listened to him for most of the time before his parents found out where I was. His dad arm reached out for me with Marion jumping in front of me and his mother soon did the same thing.

"DAD NO!" Marion shouted at the reaper with his eyes widen at his son's presence in the situation then took his hand out to see his wife caught in a trap that was set up and went to go help her. My parents were looking for me and saw Marion then my mom quickly to me away from him. My dad's eyes widen as he looked through his book to see that Marion was the prince of the Reapers with his dad the king.

"Good job Jackson! You found him!"
