I knew this was wrong. I knew I was wrong. The voice in my head was screaming that I had to get away from him. That he was not like me, or like anyone else. There was nothing like him. He wasn't an angel, and he wasn't a demon either.It was both.Light and darkness. Splendor and chaos. Harmony and destruction. He was a being who was in the middle of the two worlds, and at the same time he did not belong to either.I should have walked away, but it was already too late. Her darkness was my downfall, and it was impossible for me not to burn in the flames of his Hell.Suddenly open my eyes.My lungs gasped for air as I scanned the darkness around me. My heart was pounding furiously against my ribs, ringing in my ears.I sat up in bed. The suffocation I felt was so oppressive that sweat bathed my forehead and neck. I breathed a sigh of pure relief as soon as the heaviness of the drowsiness left me and I was able to recognize each piece of furniture, each object in the blackness of my roo

I suppressed a sigh. Rain was commonplace in the state of Oregon , nothing new. The thunder, on the other hand, wasn't so much, so I couldn't help but feel strange. Through the window, I could see that the sky was too dark. The total absence of any noise in the house made me know that it was already very late, and that my family was sleeping.I rubbed my eyelids hard and sighed, because I knew I was going to have a hard time sleeping again. But he had to try to do it, or else in the morning he was going to have dark circles even worse than they already were.I nodded—half sleepily—as I distractedly noticed the religious objects on the nightstand next to my bed. I pursed my lips.On the one hand, I was inwardly grateful that the thunder outside woke me up, since at that moment I remembered that I had left my cell phone in the living room. I slapped myself on the head, getting angry with myself. If I finally managed to sleep again I had to go get him, or else I would fall asleep. I was

I didn't think there was anything wrong with me. Maybe I was a bit of an introvert and didn't like to stand out, and neither did mass groups of people, but many other people were like that for different reasons. I was not exceptional for being what I was. I mean, he didn't even have fancy tastes. You could easily tell that she was someone… pretty boring. Why then would a creature from hell be interested in me?More importantly, why was I racking my brain thinking about it? Wasn't it supposed that, after so much, I was finally supposed to feel good? Happy and "safe"?I covered my eyes and exhaled again in frustration. None of this made sense. Unintentionally, she had already begun to ponder it: if he was a demon, that meant she could summon him, right? But how the hell was that done? And the biggest question, why would he do it?I shook my head and growled.My thoughts were a tangle of confused ideas that were not headed in the right direction. I needed to understand all of this. I

As far as I knew, this was not an illusion.Neither mirrors, nor words of invocation, nor animal blood or mine, nor the Ouija board , nor any of that crap. I didn't need any of that. He had appeared in front of me solely for saying his name.The demon was looking at me with narrowed eyes, not moving. His black wings —so large they brushed the ground—, on the other hand, made slight, almost imperceptible movements, as if they were a totally alien appendage of his body. At that moment, I noticed that at the top of both of them, just at the point where they bent downwards, a small bone was sticking out at a point, like tiny horns.He still didn't utter a word, and I, on the other hand, wasn't able to say anything else. He just kept his arms crossed over his chest, holding my gaze. Radiating an aura of danger, intimidating and arrogant."Did you call me to make you look like an idiot?" —She inquired suddenly, in a tone so surly and cold that a current of ice ran down my back.I cleared m

"I-I can try."A slight laugh, deep and somber, escaped her lips.-Are you sure?At that moment, the only bulb that illuminated the room began to flicker. I swallowed air hastily. Dread invaded me like a current of ice that made my body tremble.Between the brief changes in light and total blackness, I was able to visualize the gray twinkle in his eyes between the two times. No matter what, those orbs seemed unfazed, able to see me even in pitch darkness. His tall figure, along with his great wings, looked like a huge shadow so implausible and terrifying that my heart squeezed violently.If he dared to leave me in the dark, I wouldn't succeed in threatening him with the rosary. I couldn't try to defend myself from him if I didn't see anything. I was going to become too easy prey.More than it already was.-Stop! I exclaimed.A gasp left me at that moment, when the light in the room finally returned to normal, letting me see that he had gotten quite close. I backed away immediately, do
