Short stories

Devilish beauty- part 1

Serenity strutted down the pavement her blood red heels clacking against the concrete. Her enhanced hearing could pick up the sound from behind her, she smirked demonically. The rustle of clothing, clumsy footfalls and quietened breath was an indicator that her follower was a male and the strong pungent scent of alcohol ensured her that he was drunk.

Serenity fastened her pace and the man behind her did the same, he sure is persistent, she thought, I like that. She turned sharply into an alleyway and observed as the heart beat of her stalker increased rapidly, probably from excitement as he expected he would easily fulfil his goal due to the empty streets and shelter in the darkness. Boy was he wrong.

Without a word the drunken man slammed her into the wall, Serenity let him. To make him think he had her under his control, she revelled in the pain that shot up her back. Eventually she lost her patience as his hands started roaming up her slim legs and past her short black dress. Serenity allowed her true eye colour to flash through, a pure white, and watched in glee as the male blinked in confusion but stupidly carried on. Then time seemed to stop.

Horns slid out and made themselves visible through her raven black hair, her wings split from her back; with mismatched feathers of black and white. And her eyes glowed as her fangs elongated to be as sharp as a knife Serenity cackled, the sound would be enough to stop an elephant in its tracks and make a grown mans legs shake.

It went by quickly, he wasn't even able to scream before Serenity tore out his throat and plunged her claws into his chest, ripping his heart from its allocated place between the ribcage. The demon took pleasure in the warm blood that sprayed onto her body, it gave her strength and in a swift moment she popped the unbeating organ into her mouth crushing it between her fangs and swallowing the mushy remains.

There was a blunt pain in her head and then a familiar face surfaced. "Hey Sen, wreaking havoc already? That's my little girl."
"Dad," Serenity rolled her eyes, "a demon's gotta eat too! And I'm not your little girl."
Satan fake sobbed "why do you hate your old dad so much, I just wanted to remind you that you have to see your mother tomorrow."
Sen sighed in frustration, she always had to meet her mother once every two weeks and get scolded for not being up to her standards.

You see, Sen isn't your average person, you probably have realised that by now. She is half demon half god, an abomination, a warped Demigod who was never supposed to be born. Before we get into her life story let's do a little time skip.

Time skip
As Serenity sat on the sofa the news channel started blaring. 'Breaking news, the Heart thief has struck again', she almost snorted, this should be interesting. Sen tucked her legs underneath her and spooned cereal into her mouth, human food doesn't actually satisfy her hunger but she eats it anyway because it tastes good. The stupid media had come up with a name for her, the Heart thief. I guess they've found his corpse. I should dispose of them better.

Ever since Sen had moved to this city from hell she'd been amazed by the amount of beating hearts that surrounded her. It took all of her willpower to not go on a killing spree, some would call her a serial killer but Sen preferred to be called a fine diner. The supers (yes they exist) were the only ones who knew what she looked like, like pesky flies they zipped around the city preventing her- most of the time- from having a good meal. Well they 'knew' what she looked like, in reality they knew what her demon form looked like but not her human one.

Serenity snapped out of her daze when a velvety voice filled the room, it was Lightning girl, instead of making her blood boil the sight of this super made her cheeks flush and heat spread through her body. Yes, you read that correctly, Sen, a demigod has a crush on a human that wears spandex and can control thunder and lightning; pathetic right?

"I will never stop until I hunt down this murderer, she will never claim another of our civilians lives again! She won't stop until she eliminates us all. Heart thief if you're out there, just know your time is limited because I'm coming for you." Satisfied, the female super stepped down from the podium and disappeared from the screen. She's hot even if she's threatening my life. Serenity thought to herself.

The sound of her phone ringing obnoxiously made Sen switch off the television and get rid of the remainder of her soggy cereal. By the time she was finished, she had three missed calls from her mother. Oh shit. Two knocks on the door sent a pool of dread to her stomach, she was here already.

Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth sat perched on Serenity's stained sofa looking very out of place. "Hello Thuapoles, we should get going now. Are you really going to show up to Olympus looking like that?" Serenity bent down and kissed her mother's cheek, "Mom you know I go by Serenity now, and I'll be ready in a few minutes." Eileithyia made a noise of disapproval and responded,
"Alright, Serenity, I'll be waiting in my chariot outside."

Sen quickly brushed her hair and applied makeup onto her bare face, unlike some she actually did care about her appearance but she always seemed to be looking her worst when her mother came to visit. With her black hair braided and a brown playsuit on Sen hurriedly strapped on her sandals and left her apartment.

Now inside the chariot the two relatives sat in an uncomfortable silence, Serenity had been raised by her father for the most of her childhood and hadn't really bonded with her mother whom had no interest in getting to know her whatsoever. To mere mortals their way of travel was disguised as a regular vehicle but anyone with an ounce of celestial blood in them could see past the illusion. A button embedded in the side of the chariot was pressed and a shimmering portal appeared in front of them.

A few seconds later they were flying above Olympus and landing just outside the golden gates which were guarded by the three Horai. Sen could never get over the beauty of Olympus. Before she could even blink she was sitting opposite her mother in her living room. The room they sat in was extravagantly decorated with golds and gems and ranges of colours which quite frankly were an eyesore.
"You've been eating humans again Thua- Serenity. Haven't I told you to not do that? Why can't you be like your brothers Eros and Sosipolis? They are-"
"Because I'm not them Mom! And I need to eat to live! You Gods can survive on Nectar and Ambrosia but I can't. I'm half demon for hell's sake!" Serenity ranted. Her mother turned red with anger and Sen knew she'd fucked up but couldn't bring herself to care.

Change of character
Lightning girl sat in the police station bored out of her skull. There were no leads or clues as to who the Heart Thief was and it didn't look as if they would catch her anytime soon. She was too cunning for the supers, no matter how powerful they were they just weren't able to stop her.

The super closed her eyes and went through her mental images of the serial killer, she could distinctly remember her fiery red hair, glowing white eyes and golden horns other than that she was stumped. They surely would've caught her if she walked past in broad daylight, wouldn't they. But no super could deny how devilishly stunning she was, the thought made sparks fly from her finger tips.

Had this idea and couldn't let go of it. There is going to be a part 2 because it was getting a bit too long in one chapter.
