-Because you said so?-Don't know. I mean, he was great, he was… heck , he was amazing. I wanted to roll my eyes again, but instead I pressed my lips together and just waited for him to continue. But it was still kind of weird. I don't know what happened to me, you know I'm not like that. Don't take me for crazy, but I swear I had the feeling that at no time was I the owner of my own body. She kind of acted out of inertia… And honestly, your friend is very intense. I don't think she could have any relationship with someone like that."I see," I mumbled, unconvinced."I have no idea where you met those guys, Amy," he said with some rebuke. I'm starting to think Dee's right, maybe they're bad influences."Bad influences?" Is the guy who, without knowing her, slept with my friend telling me? My own question threw me off balance, but it wasn't because of him. It was because of the fact that I called Akhliss "friend."I shook my head to put that thought away."Please, Amy. —Even from the c

"Amy…" Claire's voice was barely a whisper.Her eyes were wide, and shock was written on her fine features. I noticed that she was not wearing her glasses. Was she using contact?I opened my mouth in an attempt to respond, but I had been so stunned that nothing came out."You're… fine ," he continued with a hint of wonder, and then a faint smile spread across his face."I-I…" I muttered, frowning. Yes I'm fine.-But how? Her.” He slowly shook his head and her gaze dropped to the ground, as if a sudden memory had crossed his mind. That day…" Amy!" My mother's scream reached us, startling us. Who is she?My eyes widened in sheer hysteria.“I need to talk to you,” Claire whispered to me, also visibly nervous. Do you think you can go out for a while?I pursed my lips. I was always terrible at impromptu outings. I was so bad at lying that I didn't even try. But, on the other hand, I had already been saddled with enough lies about my family these past few weeks.And I also urgently wanted

"So... how much do you remember about the... last day you saw me?"A wrinkle crossed his brow."It's… very confusing.""Do you know what happened to you, Claire?"We stared at each other for a minute. By the time I realized it, we had stopped just a couple of houses away from mine. She didn't seem to want to keep walking."Yes," he muttered in a barely audible tone.“I need…you to say it,” I asked cautiously.Her eyes widened, assuming an expression of panic, and she shook her head in fearful denial."Please don't make me say it, Amy," he whispered. I do not want to do it. I already know what happened to me. I… I remember."Okay, calm down," I said to calm her down.I thought I should comfort him, but I didn't know how. I held up a hand, but backed away when I saw her give a little start; I made a fist and hid it back in my pocket."I'm so sorry about what happened to you, Claire," I murmured.She wrapped her arms around herself and looked away from me."It was… it was my fault."That

"Oh my gosh , I'm so sorry." I covered my mouth to hide my surprised expression, and so he wouldn't notice the blood that suddenly pooled on my face. He had completely forgotten about her window breaking. I wondered how much other destruction I was not aware of that day.- No, calm down. We already fixed it. Her.” She gave a tight smile, and then a grimace. But, Amy, seriously, I need to know. What did you give in return to kick him out?"Claire, r-really, I…" I started to get really nervous, and she noticed it."Amy..." he cut me off and I saw him swallow, "during... that time that he took over my body, somehow I was still there, do you understand me?" And he listened to what they talked about... And the things he thought, I think so. He felt like that.Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. The blood that had pooled on my face seemed to drain in a flash."Oh…" I muttered, unable to answer.-What did you do? she insisted."Claire...""That day... he thought about it," he said, fixing his e

"It's him …" I heard her mutter, and for a moment I felt so weak that I thought I would end up on the ground at any moment. I was grateful for having put her hand on top of it, because I used it for support.I looked at her in shock, but she was still watching him, her eyes wide and her breath coming fast. However, after a couple of seconds, a completely different emotion took over her features. A huge rage manifested itself in every part of her, in her face and in the way she balled her hands into fists.He took a deep breath... And, without letting me stop him or even protest, he crossed the street in his direction.“Claire!I went after her, but as soon as I caught up with her, she waved me out of the way with one arm, surprising me with the force she used. Her rage seemed to be matched only by the terror that filled me at seeing her so close to the demon."You…" she said through gritted teeth, when she was a few meters from him. What did you do to him?I stepped between them, afra

I sighed as Claire turned and strode away, though she glanced back twice, doubtfully, before leaving for good. I was going in the direction of her house, and that was the only thing that calmed me down.I faced the demon, my fists shaking with the rage that had begun to build within me. Azazziel was still smiling and, to tell the truth, it seemed the scene caused him some humor.-What is your problem? I snapped, and couldn't manage to lessen the anger in my tone. Do you enjoy doing this nonsense?"Absolutely," he said calmly, still smiling.I inhaled through my nose, trying to control myself.“I'm serious, Azazziel, she's been through a lot already. She doesn't need things like this."You were going to tell him," he said suddenly changing the subject, as if it didn't matter, and turning his face severe. You were going to tell him about your soul, right?"And what does that matter to you?"He pushed away from the wall and moved forward until he was right in front of me, very close. Imm

I was curious about the way he drove, with such confidence as if he knew the way perfectly, as if he knew the city even better than I did. Although she also wanted to call his attention to how fast he was going, and she wanted to tell him that there was no rush, that there was no need for him to drive like crazy. But I stayed with my arms crossed and pursed my lips, just watching the streets instead of him.At one of the turns, the roughness with which he turned caused my head to bang lightly against the glass, and instead of deigning to offer an apology, he let out a light laugh. This time I did look at him, anger radiating from my face."Do you want, for heaven's sake, to drive well?" I mumbled.He didn't answer, just stared ahead. I noticed that a wrinkle crossed her brow and that he kept a sterner face than usual, but I didn't dare ask why. In my heart, I was grateful that he was at least paying attention to the road. I sighed and decided to guide my thoughts in another direction.

-So that?His hands trembled slightly as he balled them into fists, radiating frustration."Will you stop asking questions?" She inquired with clenched jaw.I bit the inside of my cheek. She didn't want to listen to him, but she was afraid it could be worse if she didn't.I took a deep breath to give myself courage, and I obeyed. However, after a few seconds my eyes snapped open when I felt someone behind me pull on the elastic that tied my ponytail, undoing it. Immediately, straight hair fell to my shoulders.-Hey! I protested, jumping away. I was startled to see him suddenly so close. Why did you do that?"I need you to relax," he replied impassively, but a second later his eyes narrowed with some annoyance. Listen to me.I clenched my jaw, and wanted to let out a growl. Reluctantly, I brought my eyelids back together, breathing slowly."That's right," he approved quietly, with a pleasant undertone I could rarely hear in him. If he was trying to calm me down, I wasn't going to do it
