THE SHADOW BOOK OF DEMONS: NEAR THE END OF DAYS

CHAPTER 1: SEE YOU LATER

The sky here at the Human realm seemed ominous for some time already.

 

Since the morning I woke, it had been changing between hues of yellow, green and blue, but all of a sudden, it turned completely a purplish pink.

 

   

"It's not even five. This is no way a twilight... What is going on? ... Everyone is acting as if nothing is wrong... As if they CAN'T see it..."

   

 

Being uneasy, made studying unfruitful, so I grabbed my things from the study desk I was occupying for the past two hours and left the library in a hurry.

 

It wasn't like me to feel this nervous. Especially, without a reason.

 

Being serious now, the reason was obvious.

 

Despite my tries on convincing myself that the the sky's color and the now materialized dark shadows hovering over the people I passed by, were normal, they weren't and all I knew for now, is that I needed to get back to my studio before one of those "things" decided to hollow on me.

 

 

After taking a thirty minute "shadow infested" bus ride home, I quickly closed myself in and quickly checked my smartphone as soon as a notification bell rung, announcing a new message.

 

 

It was a message from Solomon.

 

 

Pamy? Are you ok?

 

 

I furrowed my brows in confusion and with no more time wasted I wrote back,

 

 

"Yes! I'm... Not completely though... Hey... Is a purplish pink sky and floating shadows over mortals a thing now? I can't seem to mingle much well with anyone here now. They are all covered with them."

 

 

He wrote,

 

 

"No, it is not normal and better not have one of those shadows over you either. Have they taken you back?"

 

 

I intently thought about what he meant but still doubted on who THEY were. Possibly, he meant the demon brothers whom I haven't seen for two long years now.

 

 

Yes, they did visit here and there but they were just as busy as me doing, well, what demons do. We all had our priorities and even if we wanted to see each other whenever we felt like it, it didn't work out that well.

 

 

Time became thin and with less area to cover, the less we can use towards our advantage to pass time together like we used to in the past.
