"Why me?"

He licked his lips. "Since you're asking so desperately, it's you because you were the only one I could detect. It's been 80 years since the last one."

80 years? Since he found someone like me? An angel?

"I must have done something wrong to deserve this" I muttered under my breath sarcastically.

"Probably. You used your powers. There you go baby, you have a major hint." He backed away from me slightly and crossed his arms. "It doesn't matter anymore. Once your powers have been unlocked, you can't supress them completely by yourself" He grinned. "So if you were thinking that all you have to do is not use your powers in order for me not to find you. You are wrong"

What is he blabbing on about... I have never used my powers even once. I try to rack my brain and tried to remember a time where I used them. Come on. Try and remember something weird and unexplainable.

My eyes widened immediately as a memory surfaced.

That time! Lily's wounds. They had suddenly disappeared.

    “Am I seriously the first angel you detected since 80 years?” I purse my lips.He stopped for a moment and made a thinking face, recalling something. “You’re right. It hasn’t been 80 years. More like 50. The last one died so quick, it barely left an imprint.”I lightly scoff. A part of me wonders if this is a way to provoke me, trying to tell me that I am going to be next. Perhaps I am also going to be someone who is not capable of even leaving an imprint on him before I die.I struggle against the invisible force that glues me to my spot and slowly but surely, I could wiggle my fingers and toes. The tension is thick and suffocating- the moment drags on forever and it seems like this nightmare will never end. Have I been dreaming for hours or has it been just a few minutes? Whatever the actuality, it felt like a really long time. My perception of time must be warped already seeing how I can’t even remember how I got here in the first place. The silence continues to deafen me, all I co

    I feel an unusual heaviness over me, especially across my torso. I yawn with grogginess as I force my eyes open. There were already a few rays of light hitting my face from the space between the 2 curtains.“What is th-” I mumble as I look at the heavy dead weight arm on my torso that was connected to a body. For a split second I wondered if this was a nightmare and the body next to me was one I had murdered, then slowly memories of last night began to flow into me in the form of snippets here and there. I willingly came here into his bed and snuggled against him.I mentally face palm myself while I try to struggle against his weight so I can go to my own room.“So annoying.” I mutter as I raise his heavy arm and put it on his side. As soon as I did so, it started creeping it’s way across my waist again and held me captive.“Are you awake?” I call out. There’s no way he is doing this in his sleep. He must be awake. Right? I bite my lip and push away his arm once again when I did not r

    "Stop!" I try to break it up by pulling the back of his shirt. His arm kept swinging up and down, trying to break his face apart. Was he actually trying to kill Agares? How does one even kill a demon? Will this be enough to do it? No, it would be too easy. But still, he is going too far. I wonder if this is how I looked, completely absorbed and tainted with rage beyond moral control. It was terrifying. I never want to go through something like this ever again. "Please" I beg as I grab on to his arm but he was out of his mind, he did not even seem to notice that I existed let alone that I was behind him. He retracted his arm so quickly that it hit the side of my face and I fell backwards onto the floor. Even then, he continued going. The floor was getting bloody especially around the area concerning his head. Why wasn't he refuting? Why wasn't he fighting back? It was like he was accepting it like it was his fault. I see Agares spit out a tooth. His face was bruised and battered and

    “I understand that you’re hurt.” Is all I say but how could I tell him that I was feeling hurt too? It was none of my business anyway. It was just plain simple and rotten jealousy. The way he got angry over him doubting her character, so much that he ended up almost beating Agares to death. He really loved her didn’t he? If she was still alive, whatever Shedim and I have, we would not have it. Not even close. He loves her still, I can tell.Nobody forgets the first love of their life. I internally scoff. What about me? Did I ever have a first love or were they just simple crushes and infatuations? I don’t think I have ever been in love before.I can’t get it out of my head. The way he got angry for her and she is not even alive. I get that this makes me a bad person but let’s be honest, at this point, I am a murderer, my character really is not in question anymore. It’s not a debate, I might not be bad but I am not a good person either and I have accepted it now for the betterment of

    “Then what happened? Did she manage to steal it?” I now realise that I asked a very stupid expression, Agares’s expression made it obvious how dumb my speculation was. After all, if she had managed to steal it then none of them would be here. She would have used it to lock up the hell gate forever.“Actually, she did. I took it back.” He said.My mouth opened and then closed. Then what Shedim had said about him throwing her into the fiery pits of hell and her burning to death. It was true then? That.. burning alive, that is just so cruel. It couldn’t be right?“I don’t understand.” I ask for elaboration.“Arella thought that all demons and monsters deserved to die and that if she couldn’t kill them then at the very least, she could lock them up forever where they could not see the light of day ever again. Angels in general are very righteous beings. Honestly, I’m surprised that Shedim could never see it and he did not doubt you for one second when he found out you were part angel. As

    “As for your question-” He trails off and I immediately put my finger against his bloodied lips.“No! Don’t answer.” I could just die in embarrassment right now. Why don’t I just crawl a deep hole and fall in it. I won’t even mind if I land all the way in hell after falling. If he suspected that Shedim was listening to our conversations then he should have at least warned me! In the beginning, I surely saw him look around in suspicion, making sure we weren’t being heard but then he went along so I thought we were safe!He laughed.“Shut up.” I mutter under my breath. “You were talking about all those things in details precisely because you know he could hear us. Didn’t you? Greedy.”He glances sideways sheepishly. “Do you think he would ever listen to me if he was standing in front of me? Look what happened.” He pointed at his face.“You let it happen too. It’s not like you’re powerless. Or are you a weak demon?” I tease as I get up from the couch. I was still feeling slightly feveris

    Meanwhile – in hell.*third person pov*“What kind of nonsense is he spouting? He doesn’t sound the least bit of apologetic. If I was there I would beat him to a bloody pulp!” Shedim growled under his breath as he continued working on strengthening the gate. Many of his trusted advisors and subordinates capable of magic like Amon were assisting him in doing so. Whereas they were reinforcing a force field around the gate, Shedim was allowing the gate to drain his own power to use so it would become stronger. The downside is clear, of course, Shedim’s powers would drain out rapidly until even movement would require the greatest of effort.No amount of exhaustion would be able to change his mind since every day that passes causes the gate to grow weaker and weaker. He is sure that Lucifer is just waiting for the most apt moment to break and march through the gate along with an army of demons. He must be taking his sweet time tormenting Enkeli before that happens, Shedim assumed. The thou

    Shedim covered up his expression of surprise at the familiar voice as he turned around to greet him with fake kindness.“Ah, if it isn’t dear Asmodeus. How long has it been? I thought you were in Egypt.” He asked, trying to divert his attention as soon as possible before he starts asking what Shedim was doing alone near the Hell Gate.‘A better question would be, what was Asmodeus doing here? If I seem suspicious then he has every right to be suspicious as well. Though I cannot deny that if he has been sent here by Lucifer, then our chances of being secretive are already over, might as well stop working and begin the apocalypse. If Lucifer gets even the slightest idea that I am betraying him, he will lose it.’ Shedim relentlessly thinks about the situation.“Are you listening to me?”“What?” He seemed to have zoned out.“I was saying I wasn’t in Egypt. I was in Israel. And I would have gotten out of there sooner if any of you fucking idiots had tried to help.” He growled with a menaci

  • Demon King's Contract   Chapter not part of story

    This chapter is not part of the story so you don’t have to buy it. It is just information on demons from a book I enjoyed very much. Encylopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley.Dealing with evil has occupied center stage in human affairs since our earliest times. Destruction, chaos, decay, and the ultimate darkness of death have often overshadowed the presence of goodness and light. Human beings have dealt with evil in three principal ways: by meeting it head on in battle, by warding it off before it strikes, and by trying to avoid it altogether through denial. The how and why of evil have been debated and discussed for centuries in religion, folklore, philosophy, art, literature, and pop culture, all of which attempt to explain why bad things happen, especially to good people. When evil strikes the wicked, we see it as the deserved consequence of evildoing. When evil strikes the righteous, we look for satisfactory explanations, often in vain. Everyone feels the tou

  • Demon King's Contract   Epilogue

    Grief in The Mind Grief is a natural occurrence that everybody goes through in their life. It can cause depression to some, but to others it is a way of coping with the loss of something incredibly meaningful. Grief can also occur from the death of a loved one, a change in your career, or the ending of a long relationship or a friendship. Grief can be any type of feelings people go through such as, being angry, being upset, having constant worries, relief, possible fear, or any other possible type of numbness. It also can be thoughts of despair and discomfort. Increasing your social life is one of many ways to quickly help the person get over the grief that they are experiencing.Although grief is experienced every day, most people do not have an understanding of what grief actually is. Grief is a deep sorrow, especially caused by someone 's death (Pbs). Death can be an overwhelming, painful, and frightening experience. Grief is classified as a strong, sometimes overwhelming emotion.

    “The answer is no.” He laughed. “I don’t just like you, what I feel is much more than that. I don’t know what love is but if I had a choice, I’d live all my life with you and then some more. I would be willing to stay with you for as long as the earth existed. If you think that’s love, then so be it. I think the three of us made a pretty great family, don’t you? I really liked it when John, that waiter, thought you were my wife and munchkin was my kid.” He smiled was fulfilling, like he had no regrets in life.“Why are you saying this?” I pout, my eyes brimming with tears. “I.. I feel the same. You saved me.” My voice was too unstable to continue saying all the things I wanted to say to him.“I know how you feel even if you don’t say it.”I shake my head aggressively. I did not like the tone of his voice and I did not like where this conversation was going. He suddenly wants to confess his feelings? He wouldn’t do that at an inappropriate time like this, not unless he thought he woul

    “You misjudged my character. I was never meant to be a demon.” He speaks. Lucifer raised an eyebrow. “Pretending to be a good boy in front of your girl? Let’s not forget the things you happily did for me. Slaughter, murder, torturing innocent children, I could go on and on.” I furrow my eyebrows. Torturing innocent children? He was just saying that to get on his or my nerves I bet, there is no way it can be true. “Say what you want. Let’s deal with this outside.” “Hmmm? How boring. I wanted your lover to watch as I killed you and then I’d take her after. Oh and her powers too.” He grinned. Shedim clenched his fists. “He’s just trying to get on your nerves.” I whisper. “Trust me, I know. That’s his personality in a nutshell.” He spit. “Ouch. Though I’d take it as a compliment in a heartbeat. Now, you.” He looked at Agares with a piercing gaze. “Give it to me.” Agares seemed to be in a daze still and responded to Lucifer’s words like a pet following his master whenever he was

    “I’ll go deal with Asmodeus and you should stay here and make sure nothing happens to them. No matter what happens ,you can’t let Enkeli use her powers.” Shedim warned.Something was wrong with Agares. He was standing there blankly as if nothing around him made sense.“Stop me.” He grunted as he leaped forward towards Lev and attacked him. In an instant, Shedim pulled him away but Agares’s attack was so aggressive that he created a hole in Lev’s abdomen that was gaping and gushing with blood. He did this just with his hand?I reflexively scream and kneel down to him.“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” I scream at Agares who still seemed to be dazed.“Fuck. He’s received a direct order from the master of the ring to kill any humans in front of him. I can’t hear the command but that must be it.”Shedim takes off his shirt and hands it to me, which I use to press against Lev’s wounds. He coughed painfully and gurgled up some blood that started flowing down the sides of his mouth right onto t

    Note by author – You may skip this chapter if you’d like. Most of it is mainly information on some higher demons and the apocalypse. All the information I found was from the book Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley.The lights flickered, on and off continuously until the bulbs fused and turned off permanently. The weather was getting more chilly, the wind started blowing faster and I shiver as it reaches me through the windows. I take a few steps forward, feeling my way around until I reach the kitchen. I was blinded for a few minutes but slowly, the moonlight had started giving me vision and I could see more clearly. The black spots covering my vision slowly faded.I got a few candles and a lighter. Lighting them, I placed them on the dining and coffee table.“Was that the sign?” I whisper. Did that mean the apocalypse had started?Shedim and Agares had found that out before anything noticeable even happened. They knew immediately that something was wrong.

  • Demon King's Contract   The Beginning

    When I woke up I was happy because of yesterday’s events. It felt like a real family. At least I got to know what that was like before hearing what I was about to hear. We were having breakfast at the table, all four of us. The swelling on Agares’s face had completely died down and in fact, he did not even have the black eye anymore. He looked as good as new. The healing powers of supernatural beings really was incredible, it meant I wouldn’t have to worry about them at least.The whole time, Shedim remained completely silent. No snarky remark or suggestive comment, not even one of those annoying smirks of his. Agares looked back and forth between us and raised his eyebrow, wondering if something was wrong.I shrugged my shoulders. I was just as confused as he was. Lily, on the other hand, was oblivious. Since it was Sunday, all she wanted to do was her homework from school then sleep some more. After eating her breakfast she yawned and headed to her room.He seemed to be done with hi

    Next Chapter“Do you really think we should be idling around like this.” Enkeli wondered out loud.“There isn’t a better time.” His lips twitched to give a miniscule smile.She reluctantly agreed and changed her clothes into a dress. She checked up on Lily to see that she was completely ready and ended up in Enkeli’s closet to go through her jewelry box. Enkeli laughed and found her a small necklace (that was essentially a choker necklace for her but would fit more loosely for Lily.) It just so happened to be that both of them wore blue dresses.“How did you know I was going to wear blue?” Enkeli teased. “Aren’t you copying me?”Lily nodded. “You like blue.”She felt her heart melt. Lily really was the cutest kid Enkeli had ever seen. Seeing other people’s children being so annoying and demanding put her off at some point and she thought having children must be extremely difficult and miserable for parents but now she could understand why people choose to have them.It was still diffi

  • Demon King's Contract   Shedim and Skye

    Back then there was a bit of an economical crisis. Shedim’s family sold trinkets for a living, just enough to feed their family of 10. Excluding himself and his parents, he had his grandma and 6 siblings. At a certain point, the trinkets had failed to sell during the period of economical depression and the ‘savings’ weren’t nearly enough to keep their family afloat. The first one to go was his grandma, since she had decided she had lived long enough and wanted her children and grandchildren to continue living and make the next generation better.The next was his father, who made sure his mom and siblings had enough food in their bellies. Then, of course, his mom would die too, followed by older siblings and at last, the resilient younger siblings remained. Shedim did his best to take care of her younger sister.He stole and threatened as much as he could. When he was caught and placed in jail, he asked only one favour of the police officer who looked kind enough to take pity on him. A
