DEMON'S FATE ( Book 2)

chapter 9

Grey sat on his mattress, staring at nothing in particular. He wrapped his arms around himself as he rested his head on the headboard. He closed his eyes for a second, and a certain face popped into his mind. He could not stop the smile that crept on his lips.

Grey allowed himself to be lost in the moment, simply thinking about the Angel.

“I need it,” he whispered to himself.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and stood up from his bed. He made his way to the window. He watched the other demons interact with each other and giggle about random things. 

He had not been outside in a while. He was scared of the other demons noticing that something was phenomenal about him, that he shared his soul with another person. An Angel.

He sighed and shook his head as he averted his eyes from the window. He was feeling bored sitting inside the residence and doing nothing. He exited his bedroom and made his way to the living room.

The moment he entered the living room, he saw his mother seated there. She was watching a show on TV.

“Good afternoon, son,” Anna said with a smile on her face as Grey took a seat.

“Good afternoon,” Grey grumbled his response as he sat down. He hoped his Mom would not say anything to him.

Anna watched her son closely. She noticed he had been in his room all day. She also noted his anger was no longer vibrant.  She desired to say something to him, however, she decided against it.

Anna later averted her eyes from her son and continued to watch the show on the TV.

Grey was complacent when he could no longer feel his mother's eyes on him. He was glad that his Mom did not say anything about the soulmate issue again.

Both mother and son sat in silence as they watched the show on the screen.

Grey all at once sat up straight. He heard a voice at the back of his mind.

“I'm coming.”

He frowned a little because he knew that voice.

‘The Angel. But how is it possible that I heard her? I do not understand this,’ he said to himself

He quickly stood up and made his way to the door.

“Hey, Grey, where are you going?” Anna inquired quickly before her son exited the door. She saw the way he had stood up quickly.

“I will be back,” Grey said hurriedly as he left the house. 

He took a deep breath before he vanished.

Ariel landed on the field. She glanced around but did not see the demon anywhere. Her mood deflated quickly. She had a fantastic expectation that he would be there, waiting for her.

“I don't even know if he will show up. I should probably go home. It's stupid of me to assume the demon will come,” she said to herself.

Ariel kicked the sand on the ground. Taking a deep breath she flashed her wings, preparing herself to leave but she immediately sensed the demon's presence.

She turned quickly and was greeted with the sight of the one demon she was waiting for. She almost smiled, however, faked a cough to conceal her smile due to the fact the demon was close and he would surely see the smile on her face. 

“You called,” Grey stated calmly. He was trying not to show his excitement about being in the presence of the Angel but deep down he was very excited.
