Demons || Jaythan

Budapest

Give me one good reason

Why I should never make a change

Baby if you hold me

Then all of this will go away

- Budapest; George Ezra.

Chapter Eleven:

Karma was a weird thing. It could be good or bad; it ruined your life or made your's much better. (It would only make it better if it happened to someone you hated.) It was a strange thing to describe, it was inevitable yet you sometimes wished that karma wouldn't bite you in the arse.

Just like it did to me.

It was a weird day to begin with, the serum that they always gave me to sleep didn't work last night and the demon hadn't bothered me. That on it's own was already setting off a warning bell inside my mind. I wandered downstairs - the bed was empty which was strange, he usually waited for me to wake up which isn't usually too long after I do - and into the living room to where everyone was sat around watching the tv. 

"What's going-" I didn't even get to finish the sentence when one of them shushed me, I'm guessing that it was Siva. I sat down next to Jay and whispered quietly: "What's going on?" 

"There's this mass murderer going around, he's killed two or three people. It's disgusting, I can't believe people are still killing people." He whispered back and I nodded. 

I froze.

It just couldn't be.

The killer they were talking about was me.

I was the scum of the earth, as Max had mumbled under his breath.

But they were all oblivious that it was me and I didn't know if I should be happy about that.

I felt sick to my stomach, I could feel sweat dripping down my face. They had all turned to look at me, concern swimming in their eyes. I felt like I was on trial and the boys were the prosecutors. They started to fire questions at me and all there voices blurred into one; It was difficult to focus on them all and I could feel my pulse rate increasing and the walls closing in. 

It was horrible.

Next thing I know, everything fades into black.

"It feels like it's been ages since i've seen you, young one." The demon smirked. "They're onto us, you need to be more careful." He suddenly turned serious.

"So I need you to do the job tonight, no mistakes. To get the police off the sent you can't kill anyone here, in London, I need you to go somewhere else."

I froze. Where was he going to send me? I can barely get away with sneaking out to kill someone when I'm at home. I had no clue what I was supposed to say to them if the demon told me to go somewhere far away. 

"Do you still remeber what you have to do Nathan?" 

I nodded. Capture someone and then kill them. That was what I had to do; what I've been doing for the couple of months. 

"Good." It was quiet for a moment and I looked round at my surroundings. It was the same as it always was. Just a black void, everything was just black and empty. It was very eerie and to be honest I think where I'm stood now creeped me out more than the demon did. "I want you to go to Birmingham, that's where you're going to kill someone - I've decided that I trust you enough to make a good judgement, you'll be picking your next victim."

I wanted to protest but no sound came out of my mouth. It was like my brain had stopped functioning and everything had stopped working. 

"Oh, one more thing: I need you to do this tonight."

"-Can you hear me?" Was the first thing I heard when I came back around. I squeezed my eyes shut and wiggled around in my bed before I opened them again. I looked round the room as all my senses started to kick in again. Tom and Siva were stood up at the foot of mine and Jay's bed whilst Max was sat on my right, Jay on my left. "You're awake!" Jay exclaimed and hugged me, doing more harm than good as he squeezed me tightly.

"You scared me." He whispered into my ear. "I didn't know what to do." 

"Leave the poor boy alone, you are overwhelming him mate!" Tom laughed and I couldn't help but laugh along, especially at Jay's sheepish expression. 

"How are you feeling, Nath?" Max asked from beside me. 

"I'm fine." 

They then started asking what happened and I shrugged. I couldn't tell them the truth, so I didn't answer them. Fortunately, they dropped the subject and one by one they left except for Jay. 

He was staring at me, a stern look swimming in his eyes as well as a drop of concern. "What?" 

Jay sighed. "You aren't fine, what's wrong?" 

I told him that nothing was wrong but he cut me off, saying that it wasn't enough. "No, tell me the truth."

"That is the truth!" I protested. 

He gave me a look and I could tell he didn't believe me. He leaned his head on my shoulder and soothingly brushed the outside of my hand with the pad of his thumb. "I love you, Nath."

"I love you too." I kissed the top of his head.

I really had no idea why he loved me, it seemed so strange to me. First of all I am nothing special anyway and the cherry on the cake is that I hear voices and kill people on the voices command. That's not exactly something people go for and for some reason he loves me, compared to me he's the stars whilst I am just the moon. He's beautiful and perfect; I'm not. 

But he loves me. 

I know he wouldn't love me if he knew about the killings. He would hate me and I wouldn't blame him.

I just hoped that he would never find out about me being the killer from the news and that the demon didn't cause any harm to him or the other lads, that would just devestate me.

Terrible ending and the song doesn't really go with this chapter but some of the lyrics in it does fit in with the chapter. I have nothing else to say, hope you enjoyed this kind-of-filler-chapter. - Talia x
