Demon

chapter eight.

I stayed in the darkness, watching you with wild eyes.



You looked directly at me, in fear and shock.



I'm sorry..



"I know you're there and I know you're the one that saved me.." You said softly. I backed up more trying to get away. I don't want to scare you anymore. You went closer and closer finally stopping and looking up at me. I looked at you and quietly breathed in and out. You noticed me finally, but it's not the way I wanted it to happen.. I was only trying to defend you and protect you. No one can hurt you. You're mine. And no one is allowed to touch what's mine.



You blinked trying to take in my appearance. I know, I'm not exactly some model. "Stop staring..please." I said, hisses coming out of my mouth. Your beautiful face turned pink and looked away. I didn't mean to offend you.. I grabbed your hand and you looked at it, surprisingly not pushing my hand away. "I-I don't know what you are or why you're..protecting me.." You said, trailing off. Now you're going to tell me to stop, probably. "But if just want to thank you. You've saved my life. I don't know how many times but you've saved my life so much. Thank you. T-Thank you so much.." Your eyes were filled with tears, which were threatening to spill. I looked down at our hands. You were holding it and our fingers were intertwined. Just like the movies. Just like how i always wanted it to be like.



Is this a dream? Am I back in the underworld? Is something bad going to happen now? So many thoughts came into my mind. This is actually happening, princess. My little human finally noticed me and is now talking to me. "I will protect you forever." I said to you truthfully. You nodded and gave a small smile. "Like I said before..thank you." You whispered.



You voice gave me chills. It was so soft and sweet. We're so different from each other.. You're a human and I am nothing but a monster. Your eyes are warm and welcoming while mine are cold and cruel and lifeless empty pits of darkness. Your hair is soft and silky. Mine is matted and messed up. You are tiny and petite. I'm tall and not as fragile as you are. We're like polar opposites, princess. It's like you're the sun and I'm the moon. And the moon dies everyday so the sun can come out and live. I would do anything for you, angel. I would sacrifice myself just to keep you alive and breathing.

"You're welcome.." I said back. You pulled me out of the darkness, making me hiss at how bright the light in your room was. You sat down on the floor and pulled me with you. "I have so many questions..but first is..who are you?" You asked me. I don't know the answer to that question myself. "I am nothing but a demon." I said. You widened your eyes a bit. "But.." I trailed off. "I'm a demon that loves you."
