We're trapped with a Demon

Chapter 2: The Alioth brothers

RAINE

The man's facial features were completely changed. "This is how I originally look like, I have the ability to change form into whatever I like." I was surprisingly less frightened before, besides what is there to be scared of any way r-right...

"I also live as another orphan in this body, but a different name. In this bod-" he was cut of because of me, I didn't notice my hand already clenched to a fist and was going to attack him on the spot. My fist was about to hit his cheek when I knew what was happening.

 "Why were you going to punch m- "TELL ME WHAT ELSE I SHOULD KNOW!" I acted unconsciously, as if my confusion, anger and fear took the matter on their own hands and used it as a fist. My shout was heard across the hall, hopefully, not at the cafeteria where most children are. I put my fist down. "If you're just gonna tell me things I shouldn't know...just do it. I don't know how I can bare with this reality."

He stayed silent, so did I. A second before I was going to walk out I heard footsteps of heels going towards us. I was sure this was the woman from before, I could hear her footsteps getting louder and louder by the second.

"You don't like being lied to...so do I..." I could feel the warm breath on my nape that assured me that she was behind me so I turned my head. "You or he wasn't really lying.." I started muttering, 

"Really? But still, Elly or at the moment 'Theo' will apologize."

"Huh?" Me and Mr. Mcalastair both said. I turned around to face Mr. Mcalastair because I wanted to say something but...

"But hear me out." From my back she moved her face in front of me while pulling my shoulder aside for me to see her face. The problem was, "she" wasn't a "her". A tall poised boy stood beside me, "You can change too?" I faced him/her with a dumbfounded face. 

"Yup, my name is Leothelnus Demian Alioth, and originally he is my brother Theodorus
Adrian Alioth. I'm older for about a year but he is more intelligent and responsible than me. AH! By the way, you can call me Leo and him Theo!" He let out a sort of chuckle. Me and 'Theo' just stood there with looks of hesitancy.

We all looked at each other, no one made a sound. I knew that they noticed I was immersed in my mind overthinking, and it's obvious. To break the ice, Theo said, "Let's go back to the cafeteria?" Leo patted my head and went towards the direction where the cafeteria was, Theo was following behind him.

We arrived at the cafeteria, the 5,6,7, year old's weren't there....maybe they have activities to do. Leo and Theo led me to my fellow nine year old's and they went to their benches to eat. When I turned around after saying goodbye to the brothers, my eyes caught Erin's. I walked towards their direction, they looked away from my eyes. The nearer I get I noticed they left a certain amount of space for me, "Were you waiti- "That took you long enough." He cut me off, was he mad at me? Wasn't he the one who told me to take a good look at this place?

"I'm not mad, I just don't like the guys you were with. That's all." He completely read my mind. He had this book and his face was facing it, I knew he wasn't reading at all. His eyes weren't moving left to right and his eyebrows would just furrow from time to time. "I'm Raine Launce by the way.." I hoped he would at least lift his head. He did, his face made a shocked expression. "Ah, I'm sorry I was the one that invited you but.." he closed his book and put it aside "Well Raine, you want to know something about those brothers?" He smiled. His smile was genuine but I felt like there is a dark origin inside it. I agreed, "They aren't orphans, they are from an elite family, the family Alioth. I think they came here to have an another "good-boy" image for unrelated people to see."

I wanted to say the truth, I was a risky choice. I am new here he could've doubted about it. 

"You aren't believing me aren't you, I knew it."

"What?" I responded a bit confused.

"You know the truth, you also thought that I could be that dumb to not know they're demons right?" His grin made me shiver. "You have guts Raine. I suppose it is new to you, to be exact you're an interfectorem."

"That means...NO YOU'RE WRONG!!" I hesitated to shout. He explained that I don't need to kill anyone to become one, despite what the word means. People who are considered to be "interfectorem", are considered smart and strong even in a young age to 'somehow' stop shapeshifting, blood-thirsty demons. I trusted him, in some way, I believed him with my 'guts'. We stopped talking about it, because I heard footsteps going to our direction. I heard it clearly, the unnecessary noises around us gave way for the footsteps. Erin most likely noticed it too. I stood up without permission, wearing a annoyed face and gave a storming aura while walking away. I felt that Erin smirked by my trick or rather distraction. I left Erin, he was back in his book.

I felt a pat on my shoulder. " What's wrong Raine? Are you alright?"

I made a glare at him, it made him, a demon move back. Was I that scary? I shoved his hand away and left the cafeteria to go to my room.

ERIN

Raine has already left, I continued to read my book. The book I was reading was entitled "The Ruby key". I've read it dozens of times, well, I got nothin' much left to read from my books anyways.

My mother brought me here when I was six years old. Her reason, tsk, she couldn't bear the responsibility of taking care of her OWN children, (bullsh*t) if you wanted to throw us out, you got a very bad excuse. 

She was a...let's just say she gives pleasure to men alright, you think of the rest of what I mean. I have an older sister that lives in the orphanage too, we were never really in good terms.

Her name is Katrina Gabriel Johnson, sounds stupid right? Because she exclusively was STUPID not just that, she also have NO talent at all. Not just by the name, we were treated differently. She was the princess of the house while I was the slave, because her father was more "rich" and "attractive" than mine she always boasts about. I don't believe that. It's not that I am jealous about it. When she always talks about her father, mom and I stare at each other, I would always put a tired like face while mom makes worried one saying..

"Don't tell her."

My sister doesn't know my father, she wouldn't care as far as she "thinks" I don't. Her father was still with her when she was five and I was left behind almost immediately....
