Demonized {Harry Styles AU}

Start {7}

I walked out of the shop, giving Liam a last glance. the creature was still there, but following me at a slow pace. no one felt it, no one saw it. just me.

I had lost Harry an hour ago. Thank god.

Well, since my main goal now is to survive, I guess I should settle down.

I kept walking until I reached a park. a playground, small shop, a huge forest full of old trees.

I smiled and walked into the entrance of the forest. nature always had a calming effect on me.

I found a huge tree and sat under it. the creature keeping a distance. I looked at it, and it looked at me.

"What are you?"

Silence from the thing.

"Fine. don't want to talk, I understand. talking is wasteful when you live in a world like this. filled with pain and judgement."

The creature nodded empathetically.

"So you understand me?"

It nodded again.

"Why are you following me?"

It pointed to itself, then to me.

"I don't understand."

"It's you." a familiar voice said, making me jump.

"Dammit Harry."

"I told you. there's no point in escape." he said shrugging.

I ignored his comment, "what do you mean that's me?"

"That's you if you surrender to satan. that's what you'd become." he explained.

"What if I don't?"

"Then you surrender to god, there's no in between." He looked at the creature and waved. it waved back.

"There has to be some way."

"Nope." he argued.

"And how do you know?"

"This has happened many times before." He said.

What does he mean?

"What?"

"Satan suspects someone of being the savior, he takes them to the cabin, but no one's ever been rescued." he explained in a calming tone.

"Have you-"

"Yes. I was a subject." he answered.

"That means you're-"

"Also the savior." he finished.

"No."

"No what?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"This isn't suppose to happen."

"What isn't?" he was confused.

"Everything. nothing seems right. think about it Harry. 2 people are suppose to save everything? everything, even beyond human life."

"We're the only ones." he said.

"No we're not. we can't be."

Finally.

"God?" Harry asked looking up.

Who else would be happy that you'd figured it out?

"My mom for starters."

Enough with the jokes. Yasmaine is right Harry. there are more than 2 saviors.

"How many?"

Ten.

"What about the man I met in the shop? he could see the thing."

He's another one.

"Who did you meet?" Harry asked raising his eyebrows.

"Liam."

Liam Payne.

"Who else is left?"

I am not telling you that much.

The creature inched closer to us. I held out my hand to stop it. it stopped and backed away slowly.

Harry pulled my arm down and the creature inched again.

"Harry what are you doing?"

"She wants to touch you." he said holding my shoulders.

Closer and closer it got. my heart thumped. it's hand stretched out to me.

"H-Harry-"

"Shh. just let her do it." He shushed me.

It inched closer. it placed its hand on my cheek and rubbed it slowly.

"So...soft..." it said. the voice so small.

I felt pain, struggle, and weakness just by one touch.

I picked up the hand and put it over my heart. it's eyes shining. a wide smile appeared on its face. no teeth, rotting flesh, but still beautiful.

"You feel that?"

It nodded.

"That's me."

A tear fell from my eyes.

It picked up my hand and placed it on its rotting chest.

The same beat.

"We...are...the...s-same." it said hopefully. I smiled and nodded.

"Is this my future?"

It shook its head.

"Your...choice....me...or...her." she struggled to say.

"Who's her?" Harry asked stepping to her.

She pointed towards the sky, "...soon..."

Before I should say anything, she was gone. like dust, just gone.

I want to see her again.
