Shadow Lust

Demina's POV

I lift my head at his voice saying my name. He's actually here. Agmos is staring down at me with a look of complete shock and confusion.

Anger flares in me and with a yell of pure rage, I launch myself at him. He's so shocked, he doesn't have time to react when I launch myself at him. I spear him and we go flying into my room. I begin scratching and punching him and he struggles to grab my hands.

How dare he just show up AFTER HE left ME AND have the nerve to be concerned! He gets my hands in his and flips us.

He exclaims,"WHAT THE FUCK!"

I struggle against him and he glares down at me. The anger leaves me and I feel tears fall down my face. Agmos let's go of my hands and kneels on one knee next to me. I slam into him clinging to him as I cry. Agmos is frozen for a moment before wrapping his arms around me.

I cry,"I'm a monster."

Agmos shushes me,"No you're not."

I just sit in his arms as all the emotions I've bottled up leave me in tear form and shaky breaths. After I don't know how long, I get up. I wipe my eyes and face as I walk to the bathroom. Splashing water on my face, I take a deep breath as I pat my face dry. I walk back out and see Agmos sitting on the bed. My talons are on the door frame and I look down as I sniffle.

I feel his eyes on me and I say,"I killed three people, Agmos."

I hear the bed squeak as he gets up.

I say,"I didn't even know them. Didn't even blink as I killed them."

Agmos says,"It wasn't you."

I look at him as my eyes glow and exclaim,"LOOK AT ME! I AM NOT HUMAN!"

He says,"You're not a demon either!"

I reply,"YOU DONT KNOW THAT!"

He comes to me and places his right hand on my shoulder as he lifts my head up to look in my eyes.

He says,"I know you."

I reply,"Then why did you leave?"

His hands drop from me as he takes a step back. I see his hands ball into fists and he looks to the side.

Agmos says,"I didn't mean to."

I'm confused and ask,"What did you do?"

Agmos replies,"I lost control."

I'm more confused and say,"Agmos."

He doesn't move. He's so still. It's like he doesn't even breathe.

I say,"Agmos."

He closes his eyes and I see something I've never seen cross his features, self loathing.

I ask,"Did you sleep with someone else?"

His head snaps to my direction so fast, I jump.

He says,"I have the ability to use the lust aura to my advantage."

I tilt my head as my hands are clasped together.

He says,"I've NEVER used it on you. Not once!"

I reply,"I never thought you did."

Agmos says,"When I saw you that night, I lost control. I lost control of my powers for the first time in decades. It affected you. I saw it."

I am shocked. He left because he thought he in his own way used his power on me. I back hand him which shocks him and he looks at me.
