Then, he huffed dramatically, rolling his eyes.“Oh shit…” he muttered with obvious boredom, “the spoilsport is here. See, why did you take so long to wake up?I frowned at her, unable to understand what she meant.At that moment, strong, insistent and sudden blows were heard. As if someone knocked on the door with enough impetus.My eyes widened with anxiety at whoever I was playing with such verve, but the chick in front of me didn't flinch. I didn't even manage to move a single muscle, when a noise resounded in the room, like breaking wood.My heart pounded desperately against my chest, a reflection of the terror that erupted in me."And now that?!"I searched with my eyes for something that would be useful to me, anything that would help me to hit or attack the stranger who entered, although none of the objects belonged to me, while I heard some rough footsteps approaching.The scream of terror was stuck in my throat, as soon as I could see Khaius peeking out of the doorway.I bre

"Akhliss thinks she can find out what's different about your soul," he explained in a low, slightly surly tone.I blinked, first to finally know the demon's name, and second, to her words; for an instant I felt like I lost my breath. She, next to her, gave him a venomous look for having revealed that information.-As? I asked." That 's the problem," he replied between his teeth."It's not a problem," the devil intervened, looking only at him, crossing her arms. Well, I understand that you disagree because you've always been a softie, but what about Azazziel? Why hasn't he tried? I do not know!Khaius shook his head in stubborn denial."That's not your business.""It is if it involves him, " she said, and immediately pointed a finger at me. What if this girl isn't as harmless as he thinks?“Akhliss,” he said, softening his tone and face slightly, “you are not his babysitter."W-wait," I interrupted hesitantly, when I couldn't take the confusion anymore, "how is she supposed to find ou

I shook my head and stared at the ground, appreciating how despair quickened my breathing.He couldn't believe what he was about to say."If…if that's the case…" I muttered hoarsely and swallowed, clenching my fists as I couldn't, feeling an unpleasant well of anger and impotence building in me, "then I'll talk to Azazziel… He said he'd let me live a life." Quiet life, and this ," I remarked, waving toward the two of them, "is far from a normal life.The demon sighed and took a step towards me."Amy, I don't mean to discourage you," he murmured, grimacing apologetically and shaking his head from side to side, "but it's very likely that that possibility no longer exists." In a way, and as much as she hates to admit it, Akhliss may be right: you could have encountered some other demon… much worse.I thought my head would explode. I brought a hand to my forehead, feeling it burn. A brief laugh of pure irony escaped me."Is there anyone worse than Azazziel?" I raised an eyebrow." There a

I heard that they were following me, but I didn't want to look back because I knew that it was the pair of demons. They spoke in whispers, some higher than others, but I was lost in their conversation… Until I recognized Mabrax's name.A chill ran down my spine, but I was too enraged to pay them any real attention anyway. I was also somewhat afraid, not being sure where I was. I had to get away from them. Right now, he couldn't stand being around either of them."Let her go home." I heard Khaius whisper, and knew they were closer. She worked all day, dammit."Going out for a while won't hurt," she objected calmly. I understand that all he does is stay at home."They're idiots," I mumbled to myself, though I was sure they could hear me perfectly.Someone pulled hard on my left hand and I immediately felt a painful current. I turned my head, only to meet the angry gaze of the devil, this hateful girl who could very well be Azazziel's girlfriend.I jerked to free myself, but she didn't b

Suddenly, Akhliss's words were to my ears what honey was to my palate. I studied her face, serene now, just as she did with me. Her features, so perfect as if they had been made for a specific purpose, were haunting; she had such a pretty face, that I felt like I could look at her for a long time without getting tired. Somehow, I felt lightheaded and dizzy.I saw her raise her hand, the one that wasn't holding me, and she brushed her fingertips against my cheekbone. I couldn't pull away, I couldn't move a single muscle. All I did was stay perfectly still and receive the contact, which felt like a strange and strange mix between silk and electric current.“Enough, Akhliss. Khaius's voice seemed to sound very far away, as if he was not next to us, but rather far away.He sounded very severe, but neither she nor I paid any attention to him.-That I have to do? I whispered.I did not think; it was as if the words came out of my mouth without my being able to stop them.“Amy…” I heard Khai

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

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
