Adventures Of The Demon And Me

Chapter Two: Is This Fate.?

He opens his mouth and says, "Human.."

        I jolt at the sound of his voice. It's deeper than a human's voice... "Why did you come here, human?" He asks. I hesitate to answer. "B-Because you seemed like you were in trouble.. and sad.."

        He lifts his hand towards me and lightly pushes away the umbrella as he turns away. "I don't need your pity. You dare think I'M in trouble? You should leave before you get hurt." He says, with a bit of a malicious tone in his voice. But for some reason, I didn't listen. I can't leave. "You do seem like you need help... W-Why would I get hurt though..? I quietly ask him.

      He stands up. "Woah.. he's so tall. Around 7 fucking feet tall." I think to myself, in shock. "Because I'm a demon and I can kill you easily, little human..." He says. I back up slightly and look up at him with a bit of fright and caution. "B-But why would you kill me though..?" I ask, out of curiosity. I haven't done anything to make him hurt me...

     He gets an irritated look on his face, as if he's losing patience. He quickly lifts his arm and smacks the umbrella out of my hand. I jump in surprise as I slowly look up at him. I pull my arm back as I move away from him a little. "Wha-" He then roughly grabs the front of my sweater, lifts me up to his eye level by the collar of my sweater and slams me against the wall hard. "Ouch!" I yell in pain. I grab his forearm with both my hands out of instinct.

"BECAUSE I CAN'T FUCKING CONTROL MYSELF SOMETIMES!" He yells at me. I look at him with widened eyes. He grits his teeth at me, exposing his sharp fangs. I shake lightly as I groan in pain. My cautiousness grows, but I'm not as scared as I should be.. "Why would you ever think to trust me, human.?" He says to me as his grip gets tighter.

     I take a moment to think, breathing a bit heavy from anxiety. "B-Because I have a feeling that I can.. I'm not that scared of you for some reason.. I don't feel like you'll kill me..." I say as I start to feel a bit of tears stream down my face. "What?" He asks as he looks at me with a face of shock and confusion. "How could you think I won't kill you..? I've killed countless humans and demons with no remorse."

I struggle to speak as he still is holding me up by the collar of my sweater. It hurts... I groan in pain. "I-I just feel like we're connected in some way.." His grip loosens up a bit. "Hm.. now that I think about it.. I might sense that strange feeling as well. As if I shouldn't kill you.." He says. He finally puts me down to my feet and let's go.

I stumble a bit and I catch my breath. I feel my back sting slightly. "Sorry.. I just acted on reflex. I'm always on the offense." He apologizes. "I-It's fine.." I haven't even noticed that I'm now soaked from the rain since my umbrella just got flung and it broke because of that.. I get sick pretty easy from rain, so I hope I don't..

     "Um, so how did you get here?" I ask him. He looks down at me and has a pained look on his face. "I was in Hell, running away from a battle that I was outnumbered in. I killed countless people. I opened a portal, not caring where it took me, since I have no one. I've been alone for about two thousand years. I kept jumping through portals, till I was tired out and appeared here, in this world." He replied.

"Oh wow, that must've been hard.." I looked down in sadness. "So, when you walked up to me, how did you think you could help me..?" He asked. I hesitate to say what's on my mind.. I look up at him and take a deep breath. "If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay and live with me... I can also help treat your injuries..." I respond.
