"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

Then the uncertainty that I had recently discussed with Khaius came to me: the reason for the pact. Something she really did want to know, but hadn't had the guts to ask. If this experiment worked, it would be easier for me to try to find out by this means.Although the result terrified me.I wanted him to know, I wanted him to give me an answer. So I formulated the question in my head and, following his instructions, I figured I could expand the doubt to him. That, in some inexplicable and supernatural way, she could make him hear what he was thinking.The question echoed in my head repeatedly, like an insistent voice, and I kept it that way for a period of time that I wasn't able to assimilate.Then suddenly he pulled away from me. I opened my eyes, only to see her take a long breath. She ran her hands through her hair in a gesture full of irritation.-Nothing? I asked cautiously.He shook his head without looking at me. Suddenly, I felt how silence and cold dominated the atmosphere

He didn't flinch. I dug my nails into my palms, feeling the anger that grew vehemently in me burn.-You see it? For things like this I can't trust you! You're a…! I growled. She kept ignoring me. But a second later, still with her back to me, she held up a hand and gave me the middle finger. You are an imbecile! You are childish! You are the worst demon of all!I gave up when I saw that he continued walking, paying no attention to me. Well, he would have to maneuver the treacherous dirt road to try and find civilization. I regretted not having put more interest in the journey. I regretted trusting him. I thought I could trust the signs, although there weren't any in the sector he'd taken us to, and that only alarmed me further.The anger that boiled inside me prevented me from perceiving the cold of the forest. She was so upset, so confused, so stunned by her temperamental attitude, that the intense mix of feelings made it impossible for me to think clearly.Before turning my back to
