WHAT IS HE?!

Chapter 8

SCARLET'S POV

I walked calmly through the path towards the city I needed to buy a few things but I need to go and check out for new cars. I sighed out and just felt the urge to just run back home. As if there is danger a head. I shrugged my shoulders. Nothing bad ever happens through this path. I know I will pick up some of these flowers by its roots. They are beautiful.

I am going to buy carrots. Lettuce. Tomato. Spinach. Pumpkin. Beans. I need chicken and a bit of tortillas. A few grains. Milk. I have a long list and I just can't sit around and just wait to be called. I need to go see other cars and I need to take this chance to do some food shopping. I need to survive. I at least got my taser just for incase someone tries to rob me or rape me.

Always carry a taser it will almost save your life. I heard someone yell out in pain and I felt my heart beat go fast. What's going on? I do see foot prints so I should walk back home. Yeah its safer. What am I thinking? I have a good taser and it has always been great to carry it. As well as pepper spray.

Maybe someone is being attacked by an animal and I am right here acting like an idiot. I heard some gentle growls. 'OH MY GOD someone is being attacked by an animal!' I panicked and rushed forward. Man how can someone yell out this loud and be so far away. What I saw scarred me for life.

I saw how a male holding a knife as he stabbed I think its a demon. It coughed up blood and slapped the male away. 'Demons don't exist...!' I saw two females but I froze as I saw how one of them had bright red eyes and fangs. One female rushed and had kicked him but it grabbed her by the ankle and slammed her to the near by tree. But that's when I noticed its facial features. He looks like Duncan. His facial features are brutally beat but I can at least recognize him. My heart drops as my eyes wide open and I froze.

No it must be fake. It must be. He can't be some sort of demon. He can't. He saved me and took me out on a date. We spoke. He never did anything wrong to me. He can't be a demon. I gasped as I saw how his wings start to move. But out of the blue he was was slammed on the floor with so much force that it cracked the floor a bit I saw how it coughed up blood.

"HURRY BRING THE OTHER SEDATIVE!" I looked at the male as he yelled to the female with bright red eyes

I saw how his face healed up and tears started to stream down. I saw how Duncan tried to breath in but he was in so much pain. My heart twist and turn with fear. That can't be really Duncan. I must be still asleep. Yeah am still asleep. Maybe am still drunk. Yeah. Then I saw the girl with red eyes slam her ankle on his back. It made him spat blood as the floor cracked a bit more.

I slapped my face but nothing. 'Wake up... Come on wake up!' A hand grabs my shoulder and the boy I tased is up and he gripped my shoulder tightly. I looked back at Duncan and I saw how they pulled his wings. In his expression I can see the pain he is enduring. I turn to the boy behind me and his eyes were black. All black.

Veins throbbing towards his eyes and he had fangs. His nails dug into my shoulder. Pain erupted into my shoulder. 'It's not a dream...' My blood pumped with fear as I saw those soulless eyes staring back into my own. My mind was spinning but was screaming at me.

He opened his mouth and I screamed in panic as I tried to push it away "OH MY GOD!"

Tears streamed down as I felt his push my hands away and I stared at him. 'Such strength...' I am going to die here and nobody cares. Am alone. Duncan lied to me and he is going to die to. What can I do am human? Their monsters. Demons. I am hopeless. I am weak. I am pathetic. This is how am going to die. Alone. Single. Pathetic. 

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Duncan roared out 

I looked to the voice but his hand passed by my face so fast I just saw a blur. My shirt was pulled but Duncan had wrapped me around with one arm. My shirt tore a bit as I just shrieked out panicked and I covered my chest. I hate demons even more. But I am still terrified. I looked up at Duncan who shook his head and tried maintaining his posture. I saw the needle stuck to his arm I moved quickly and I swat it away.

He is saving me I should take this chance to be saved even though I don't know what he is. But I just want to help him out even if I still barely know him I still wanna help him. I don't know how much I can do but I must help him. I helped him stand a bit but he held me against his body and I felt embarrassed. I did my best but all I can do know is assist him until he has enough strength to run. 

Run? Yes we have to run home. I invited him in my home I don't know if its a myth or something but I want to try. I leaned to him a bit I couldn't muster what I wanted to tell him but he was kicked behind. He held me tightly and used his wings to protect me. I was cut anyways by the dirt at the beginning. I felt one of his wings from above moved and he yells out in pain. It must be very painful to have your wing being pulled out. 

Well I can't say because I have never had wings. I need to help someone. He removed his wing from under me and he tried to stand up and I helped him. His wing was yanked by two people and he roars out again. Someone grabs me by my arm and tries to yank me away from Duncan. I shrieked a bit but I tried as hard as I could to stay in Duncan's arms. But the guy yanks me by force and basically throws me to the side.

My back hitting a tree and I coughed. I landed on the floor and I was coughing frantically as I was left breathless. I heard a loud roar and I could felt immense power pushing me to the tree. I heard branches breaking and a few thumps. I felt confused. I looked to the side and I saw Duncan flapping his wings hard and by force. I looked down as I coughed again and took in a deep breath. But then I felt arms around me and I was above the ground. 

I screamed in fear as I was really high up. High above the ground and moving by the trees. I looked back but above me and it was Duncan. I calmed down a bit but his wings gave out and he hugs me tightly. I held Duncan as I felt fear. Next thing I know he used his body one more time to protect me from the impact. Luckily we were home. 

'YES!' I helped him up and I got him inside my home. I hope this Myth is true. All demons or vampires are unable to enter a humans home without the human inviting them inside. I laid Duncan on the bed and I looked everywhere for my mom's crosses and I placed them in windows all around the house as well as at the doors. I just hope this Myth is true. If not I would look like a fool trying to do this.

I heard groaning and hissing from down stairs and so I ran down stairs towards Duncan. Dropping the two remaining crosses to the floor and just headed to him. He is very hurt and he needs me badly. When I reached the living room he was struggling to get his wings back in place. His fangs were retracting so slowly. His sharp nails got longer and sharper. I noticed his hand go to his shoulder and he scratched himself. No! I rushed to him and I got on top of him and I removed his hand from his shoulder. 

Blood dripping down his shoulder and his eyes wide as they flashed back and forth from normal to black and red. He yells out in pain as his nails started retracting back in place. He tried scratching his shoulder again but with a different hand but I didn't let him. He growls and looks at me but when he looked me in the eyes. He looks different. He leans in and sniffs me. I felt my face heat up strongly.
