I raised an eyebrow.

-Ought?

"How do I explain it?" She hesitated, tilting her head back to look at the sky. Well, long story short, he's a sex fiend.

My entire body tensed. I felt like screaming and running out of there.

So… she had manipulated me? Did she manage to… get into my head?

"I-I want to go home," I said quickly.

The mere idea that she could continue to be close to me gave me the willies. He saw the sudden fear I felt, and nodded.

We hurried a couple of streets, until I began to recognize the center. When I spotted a taxi, I put up a hand and stopped it. I opened the door of the vehicle, but at that moment I saw Khaius start to walk away.

-Where are you going? -asked. He turned to look at me strangely. Come here.

He raised his eyebrows, not even making the slightest effort to hide his astonishment.

-Really?

—No, little devil, it's just that I love to prank you. I rolled my eyes. Get on now.

He hesitated, looking between the car and me.

-Come on! I continued, already half an

    I stopped my walk towards the garden of my house abruptly, and I did not try to hide the expression of astonishment that this revelation caused me.-What are you saying? I whispered, suddenly feeling short of breath."You heard what Akhliss said," she replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, assuming a thoughtful air. Many will respect him and will not attack you knowing that you have been marked by him. And that could reduce the number of demons that want to kill you.Was he serious? No. _ It couldn't be. Was she playing with me?"No," I said emphatically. He's already made it very clear that the day I die of my own cause, he's going to take my soul, Khaius."That 's the thing," he clarified, quite convinced of what he was saying. Azazziel never waits for anything; if he wants something, he'll do whatever it takes to get it right away. Him.” He gave a rueful sigh. How is it that he always says?"Patience not your thing?" I ventured.He frowned, looking at me sideways. A hint of astonish

    I arrived in a short time on foot to the church that my mother and her friend Joane attended, a place that I used to frequent until I decided to force myself not to do it anymore; with high white walls and striking slightly Gothic architecture. The truth was that I never liked going there because it made me feel uncomfortable and strange, but now I needed to get holy water. I needed to somehow feel secure by myself. Without them . I asked Father Kenae—an elderly man, the same one who didn't run into anything unusual when he visited Claire—if he knew where I could get a rosary, and he pointed me to a location just one block south. .After finding the store and buying the rosary, I figured it best to go home right away, even though deep down I didn't want to get there so early. But he had nothing else to do. As was often the case lately, I began to think about Diana, and how we had stopped talking to the point of not even saying hello. As I wandered down the sidewalk at a slow pace and

    "Shut up," I snapped through gritted teeth. And get away from me."Let me see your wound," the demon said, reaching out a hand to me."No," I growled. I don't want you to accompany me either, or walk around my house. Do you think it is easy to feel your presence close all the time?He opened his eyes and looked confused.-But…-No! —My own voice seemed alien to me, but I didn't give it importance at the moment.Khaius's face turned grim."I'm sorry, Amy, but I already told you I can't go."I don't care what Azazziel told you," I mumbled. I don't want either of them near me. I'm tired for all this! You and this succubus, get out of my sight!They both looked at me with wide eyes, while I held my injured hand, appreciating the warm moisture of my blood.I turned around and walked until I found the nearest bus stop. It was impossible for me not to feel that they were close, but I decided to pretend that I couldn't. Pretend they didn't affect me.And so I had to do it for the days that fo

    "There's not much to understand, Amy," Khaius added, and I looked at him. Many , not to say the vast majority, are the demons you say. Those who hate humans, those who do whatever it takes to corrupt their souls to see them suffer in Hell…” She looked down, a hint of anguish crossing her face. And there are others who do it in the same way, but only because we have no choice.Akhliss frowned, almost matching her expression.So there wasn't just one class of demons. I couldn't help but wonder which one of them was Azazziel."I'm interested in knowing this matter. Your business,” Akhliss replied, and his gaze met mine. I was able to see that there was a kind of pleading in his eyes. You think it's possible? Would you let us hang around you until we figured it out?"No..." . The voice in my head advised me. "Refuse. You can't believe them . "What if the emotions on their faces were a ruse? What if their nature allowed them to pretend that well? In the end, so many ideas being debated we

    I nodded slowly, taking in the information, trying to imagine what it would be like to see that."And who made you an expert in souls, wimp?" Akhliss retorted noticeably envious, suppressing the seriousness of the moment.The demon threw one of my fries in his face. She opened her mouth, but he didn't catch it."Useless," he sneered."Idiot," she defended herself.This exhausted me. When they were together, they both had attitudes that struck me as quite immature, and even childish. In a way, it was tiring to be with them, as they were always arguing, fighting, making fun of each other or speaking with excessive rudeness, Akhliss more than Khaius, in the latter at least.But, at the same time, it was also very addictive, so I couldn't help but let out a light laugh."You are worse than children," I said, smiling. And they are lazy! If they were serious about anything, we could have figured this out long ago. I frowned and pretended to look stern. I should punish them.“Hey, that sound

    Azazziel had his arms folded across his chest and was huddled in the shade of a tree, as if the night itself did not provide him with enough darkness. He changed his expression to a much more stern one as his gaze flickered between the demons accompanying me. My heartbeat increased his pace, in response to the nerves that attacked me.I did not understand my reaction. I must have been upset because my gut feeling didn't warn me of his presence, or because neither Khaius nor Akhliss did. She must have been furious because she didn't keep her word and came back recklessly, interfering at a time that wasn't unpleasant at all. But instead, she was beyond restless. To my sides, the demon couple seemed to be just as upset as me.Maybe even more."Find what to do," Azazziel ordered them with a curt nod, without even greeting them or making any friendly gestures. Immediately, he looked at me without the slightest hint of emotion. I want her for myself now.For some reason, my stomach clenched

    I felt another pang of alarm. Something was wrong. Where was my anger? Why wasn't she upset enough to see him here? Only then, was I aware that my heart and breathing had sped up in inhuman ways.I stared at the floor and crossed my arms, hoping that a miracle would appease the restlessness that was raging inside me."How's the bite?" —She inquired mockingly.I shrugged. The truth was that at times I forgot it was there, only that part of my arm felt numb. I had spent the last few days smearing creams on myself in the hope that the mark would disappear more quickly, even though it still looked horrible."I suppose you have seen Claire," he continued in the same tone, "and that she thanked you for the immense sacrifice you made in exchange for saving her life."I gave him a resentful look. So far, the most she had been able to tell from Claire was that she was resting from everything she hadn't in months, and gaining a little more weight because, without the demon inside her, she was f

    My eyes widened.— What? I muttered. The blood drained from my face as I realized why I seemed to know him. There were certain features of him in my father's face, especially in the part of the nose and eyebrows. Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. D-did you find it? B-but how…?"I have my tricks," he answered quickly. And I can't reveal them to you.I thought she had smiled, but she wasn't looking at him, so I couldn't be sure.-AND? I whispered fearfully. I looked up, undecided if I really wanted to know. Is…is there something out of the ordinary about him?His spirits seemed to drop with a single sigh."No," she replied, her lips tightening.That answer surprised me perhaps more than it should, since in truth a fraction of my mind had related that, finding him, we would find the resolution to all this matter. And that, finally, the enigma would end.Apparently, I was wrong.-Nothing? My voice dripped with some of my disappointment."Nothing," he replied under his breath, radiating a h

    And the edge of the weapon slid across my skin. I felt the pain as my flesh split open, but I didn't waste any time. I held my hand in the air, over the small mound, so that the drops of blood would fall on it. I stood up and appreciated what I had done. Everything looked like a mess, not at all neat or orderly. It looked like the strange things that weird cults did, it looked like the kind of thing I would never have done before. Then I would take care of cleaning… If I managed to get out of this successfully.I swallowed hard, before taking the book in my hands. My heart pounded against my ribs, but my breathing was slow and labored.«In this way, I invoke you, Demon Alocer, master of black magic. I conjure you. Come and manifest yourself here and now, within this temple that I have prepared for you . They were the words that the book indicated to be able to call him, the appropriate ones to invoke the demon. She wasn't sure I could do it well. I read the inscription, first in my mi

    Nat put his weight on one leg, tapping his foot on the ground. She was still waiting for my response."I have an interview on Monday," I told him, and I couldn't help but smile.Her eyes widened, surprised. A pang of nervousness went through me just remembering it."Oh..." he whispered in surprise.We went our separate ways, I stayed on the couch while she went upstairs and stayed upstairs for a while. When she returned to the living room, I raised my eyebrows as I took in the tight, shiny black dress she was wearing, paired with smoky makeup and tall boots that reached above her knees.She stood in front of me and turned around so I could see her completely.-You can see it well?"Oh, yes," I agreed. I cleared my throat, reflecting the enormous surprise that invaded me. So... you're going out, huh? —I prayed that the enthusiasm hadn't come through too much in my voice.This was the opportunity I had been waiting for for weeks.He nodded smiling.“You should go with me,” he said, a ne

    I pursed my lips and felt like hitting myself. Nat gave a light, gentle laugh."It's true," I agreed quietly, avoiding looking at him."Your dog is great, girls," he said with a certain touch of emotion that seemed childish to me, "he looks like a real wolf.""It's yours," Nat said, pointing his thumb at me.—Do you mind if I pet him? —Dave asked me.Alexander gave a guttural snort and stepped away, hiding behind me."He's not very friendly," I murmured, slanting my lips apologetically, and he nodded with a slight grimace of feigned horror. He turned to take a look at Diana, who still hadn't finished shopping, and he looked at me again. Her dark eyebrows drew together in a clearly confused expression."Excuse me," he said, flashing a nervous smile, one of those so typical of him, "I think it will sound silly, but... do we know each other from somewhere?" “I feel…” He pursed his lips. I feel like we've seen each other before.The serenity disappeared from me as soon as a strange pang c

    My mood was not the happiest no matter how much I tried to change it, mostly because of Nat, since lately she was very determined to scold me if she saw me sad. And she didn't do it in a kind way, since she always related my despondent state to the fact that we had already spent a little over a month without knowing anything at all about the three demons. She got angry when she saw me down and she said that she couldn't be like this, not because of them . Likewise, he also took the enormous job of making sure he never left me alone anywhere.Sometimes I caught her staring at the ground or into the distance while we were doing something, and I knew perfectly well that she was thinking about Khaius. However, when she realized that he was looking at her, she would quickly start talking about whatever. I never saw her cry, apart from the first day when she decorated the kitchen wall with coffee, as if she wanted me to believe that she got over it very easily. But she knew her too well, a

    -Are you ready? —Nat asked me.I looked at her with a sunken brow.-You are?She pursed her lips slightly. I saw that the clenched fist she was holding in the air trembled a little."Of course," he answered, but he knew her well enough to detect a note of hesitation in her voice. Come on, at the same time.I nodded.I also extended one arm in front of me, holding the leather bracelet that I once acquired for ordinary purposes, like any other person who buys jewelry, but that I came to use to summon nothing more and nothing less than a true demon.We counted to three out loud, but the first to open her hand was Nat. I noticed her fingers part to drop the rune-engraved silver ring that Khaius had given her, so she could summon him whenever she wanted. A second later, I imitated her and, with my heart hammering as if I were the one who was going to jump from this tremendous height onto the pedestrian bridge where we were, I noticed a dizzying sensation in her stomach.The high meters of

    And if my feelings were, then so was Asmodeus and his promise to see us again.I looked at my hands, which now looked as ordinary as they had always been. At this point, after experiencing for myself the kind of things I was capable of, and even though it seemed uncomfortable, strange and improbable, I had to consider the possibility that maybe I wasn't human. Not at all. But if I looked at it from another perspective than I had done this time, maybe that wasn't the most important thing. Because how different could humans be from angels and demons? If we were all originated by the same being, were we deep down so different from each other?The difference was that we had a choice. I could choose.I clenched my fists tightly as I stood up and, taking a deep breath, squared my shoulders.The obsession that they always had, the doubt of my origin, that which dominated them so much was really not interesting at all. For me, not anymore. Because what did matter was what he could do with thi

    I didn't realize that Alexander had followed me into the room until I heard his moans. The pitiful sound he emitted managed to bring me out of the rage I was immersed in, and he made me open my eyes. Then, a gasp of pure shock and horror left my lips.My fingers opened and dropped the flower I was previously holding, now in a strange, misshapen and blackish shred from which a row of gray smoke seemed to be coming out.But what…?Even with my eyes filled with tears, I was able to see the faint trace of what appeared to be real smoke emanating from the palms of my hands. I didn't believe it. It couldn't be possible. Either my own sense was deceiving me, or in the end I did end up losing my mind.However, the image disappeared from my sight as soon as panic overwhelmed me.The active part of my brain made me react and I stood up. Out of pure instinct rather than anger, I stepped several times on the black flower from which a faint smoke was emanating. A strong smell burned my nose. The s

    I left the room and closed the door carefully, slowly, with a lump forming in my throat. Then, with a heavy heart and low spirits, I walked to my bedroom. Even without having entered, I already knew that I would feel much worse.I would have loved to be able to walk into my own room and be calm, to feel like I was in my personal refuge, somewhere protected and safe from the world. But it was not like that. My chest squeezed violently when I looked from the threshold at my unmade bed, my old desk with my laptop and a couple of books scattered on top, the closet, a couple of clothes thrown away and everything else, as messy as it always used to be... I hadn't even made it a month outside, but it felt like years had passed since I last set foot here. Everything was just as I left it, nothing had moved from its place.So when my eyes eventually came across the nightstand that sat on the side of my bed, I froze. I felt a stream of ice run down my back. And, in the next second, a gasp escap

    It didn't take long when, immersed in my own bubble of silence and anguish, I managed to hear Anthony's footsteps down the stairs. I closed my eyes tightly, not feeling ready to face him or face whatever he wanted to say, and I stayed very still. However, not a single word came out of his mouth. He just approached and sat down carefully and silently in a corner of the sofa where I was, next to my head.Anthony didn't learn much; In fact, I didn't tell him anything at all. I didn't have to give him any explanation, he didn't make an effort to find out what he had done those two weeks that I wasn't home. My brother didn't scold me for crying, he didn't tell me that he was an idiot for trusting the wrong guy, nor did he make fun of me like he used to do with every mistake he made. He just ran his fingers through my hair for a long time, like my mother used to do with us when we were children and needed her attention.That gesture alone was enough for me to start crying uncontrollably, so
