Eli

Collab drawing

As soon as Lexi, Nikolai and I got to our house, we were immediately greeted by Hannah's boyfriend, Darren.

"Who's This lex?" Darren smiled at us.

"This is Nikolai, he's new at school. And he's just as good as Eli at drawing so they're are going to be doing a draw off. Wanna watch?" She told him.

"No princess I need to be here for when your dad comes." He replied.

Lexi screamed and cheered. It made nick cover his ears so I put my hand over her mouth to silence the small girl.

"Shut. Up." I growled a little then walked off. I went into my room and slammed my door shut making sure to flick my wrist so it would lock.

"We should go in my room, Eli doesn't like people in his room. Not even our dad." I heard Lexi outside my bedroom door.

"I didn't know you shared a dad." Nick sounded surprised.

"Oh, no we don't. Both of our dads died so this man took us in. Then we moved in here with Darren and Hannah, she's miss Potter at school." Lexi told him.

"Oh, so how old are you and Eli?"

"I'm 18 and Eli is seventeen. I was held back a year because I'm not all there." She giggled.

"Lexi." I yelled.

"What you grumpy bastard?" She yelled back.

"Go to your room."

"Yes, be in there Eli. You still have to draw."

"I'm not drawing shit lex." I growled.

"Yes you are. Now get out here fucking grumpy duck. Or I will clarify nick as the best drawer in the world." She stated.

"You do that then." I rolled my eyes.

"Come on Eli." Lexi whined. "You never do stuff for me so please, please, please do this for me. I'll do anything."

A deep growl rumbled from me as I stood up and went to my door. I flicked my wrist so it would unlock and I could open the door. When I did, I grabbed Lexi and slammed my door shut.

I pulled her into her room with nick following. I threw her on to her bed making her squeal and giggle as I sat on her window seat. Nick sat on one of the armchairs Lexi has in this room of hers.

"Ok, draw." She smiled widely.

I got up and went back to my room to get my sketchbook then went back. Nick had his ready so we switched to give each other simple sketches to draw from.

When I got my book back, I had a couple shapes that I could easily turn into a body of some sort. With my pencil, I started drawing and adding to the sketch.

After an hour and a half, I was done with it. I went with Jack the pumpkin king before he changed. So he had a pumpkin head and so on.

"Done." Nick said.

I threw my book onto the table for both nick and Lexi to see. "Jack the pumpkin king pre skeleton." I mumbled.

"Uh, just simple pennywise." Nick placed his book next to mine.

"Both are so good." Lexi pouted. "I can't choose. DARREN!" She yelled.

He came into the room and sighed while looking at Lexi. "What lex?"

"Which one is better? I can't decide." She told him.

"Hmmm, I like both. Both are really good. Going one film characters I'd go with Jack the pumpkin king. But both are really good." Darren said.

Without a word, I stood up, got my book and left. Once again in the embrace of my own room with the door locked. It was the same size as Lexi's with the window seat, but mine is more dark colours not bright pink.

If I'm not at college then I'm in my room locked away from everyone else. Of course they can still get in from the outside, perks of being a demon with powers. Just a flick of a wrist and my door would be unlocked from outside and inside.

While I was drawing something else in my sketchbook, I was half way done when my door locked.

"Eli, open the door we need to talk." Lexi stated.

I flicked my wrist so the door would unlock. It was a silent lock so if Lexi did bring humans home, like now, they wouldn't question why I was half way across the room.

The door opened and stood there was a nervous looking Nikolai and a sassy looking Lexi. I raised one eyebrow, a gesture for her to start speaking.

"I can't drive so you need to take nick home." She sassed at me. Like there was no room for questions with this girl. If she wants something done, it gets done.

"N-no. Y-you don't have to." Nikolai spluttered out.

"Yes he does. Eli is the only person in this house who can drive. Therefore he will take you home." Lexi told him.

I took a deep breath through my nose and released it through my nose again. It'll only take five minutes. I stood up and closed my book throwing my pencil down as well.

"Come on." I grumbled and went to my car. Lexi and Nikolai said a quick goodbye then he followed me down. He muttered a bye to Darren who smiled back at him. Finally, we got my car and got in.

We both just sat there, I rolled my eyes then turned to him. "Address?" I said then turned back.

"Oh yeah." He blushed and looked down. This kid and his blush, it's like he's a child of god or some shit. He told me his address then I started driving to take him back.

When I found the house, I parked the car on the curb and waited for him to get out. He went into his bag and pulled out a £5 note.

"I-it's not m-much but it's for petrol." He handed it to me.

"Lunch will have to be out the window this week. Not like I've gone without food days at a time before." I read nicks mind.

I took it from him then made it disappear. Just some human magic mixed with mine comes in handy.

"Not needed." I told him.

"W-where d-did it go?" He asked.

"Bag." Was all I said. Nikolai nodded then took his seatbelt off. He got out of the car and mumbled a thank you then went into his house. What did he mean by that?

Shaking my head, I drove off and went back home. Only to see lucifer sat with Lexi, Hannah and Darren.
