[ POV ~ Athena ]

"I know you're here." I smiled, not bothering to look behind me, I knew he was here. Then again, he was always here. Always following me. It's been like this for about six months now. He never gave up.

"oh~ you've gotten better at sensing me my dear." He whispered, his voice flowing in the air, and he no where to be seen.

"It's dangerous for you to walk alone." He pointed out. I rolled my eyes and chuckled, ignoring him completely.
This was a regular routine now.
Everyday, he would come visit me. Ofcourse, he only wanted my soul, but still I didn't mind his company.

"I'm not alone. You're here." I pointed out, knowing that if he truly wanted to hurt me, he would have by now.

"When will you tell me your name?" I asked curiously heading over to my small cabin with my family. Which was basically just my mother and father, oh and the cat. Luca. The demon loved my cat, well if demons could love that's what I'd call it, but he insists that they're better pets than the ones in hell.

(AN ~ it's a black cat with yellow eyes and white whiskers. So cute. Lol inspired by my cat Luca XD )

"I've told you, I don't have a name, you can call me whatever you want."

"You must have name, everyone has a name..." I said sadly, as I looked at the sky, seeing it was almost going to be dark soon.

"Humans have names ~ demons don't need them." He insisted.

I came to a stop and looked at him as he stood by me. "Alright~ I'll give you a name" I smiled "Sebastian...." I said happily as I turned to face him but he was gone.

I frowned and looked around, he always did that. He always randomly left, but I knew he'd be back eventually.

I sighed and saw the sun set so I decided to head home, before my father began to worry.

I carried a small basket, full with berries of all kinds. Planning to use them for a pie later this week. I loved the woods. I loved nature, and honestly, I didn't mind having this demon follow me. I've come to know him over the months, and as much as he claimed to want my soul, I never see him in a bad way.

"When will you allow me to make you mine?" He asked, appearing right infront of me. I gasped and sighed, rolling my eyes and shaking my head.

"You need to stop doing that..." I mumbled sourly. "I told you, you don't scare me, and I will never give you my soul, or anything." I stated, knowing he was also after something else.

He grinned and shrugged, as he stood infront of me. Once again in his true demonic form. It still didn't scare me. As much as he tried. His hair was long and black as a raven , his eyes were red, but often gave out a fuchsia glow. He had small fangs and horns on his head, along with large black wings on his back. He was tall and well built, his nails were pitch black and really long. Anyone on their right mind would be frightened, and truth was, I've grown used to him.

( AN ~ yeah I'm aiming to making him look like the picture above ^ I've seen many fan arts and stuff and I really like this one, so let's just say he looks like that. >.> )

"Still not scary ~ " I teased, walking around him, when I felt something hold my wrist. I turned around and faced him, seeing his hand wrapped around mine. "Let go, I have to go home..." I said with a small frown.

"You can't go home." He said in a sudden change of tone in his voice.

"Why not!?" I demanded smacking his chest. Which was rock hard, and cold, considering he didn't wear a shirt. Again, trying to tempt me, foolish demon.
