Chapter 7 Love and War

I stood up from the bed as I quickly grabbed my hammer.. And this time around instead of me hearing a knock, I heard a hard kick on my door.

I walked to the door, inserted the key into it and just as I unlocked it. I struck the hammer at anyone that is one the door but I was shocked to find no one.

I moved out of the house and took a step at a time checking the surroundings for any form of Demons.

Just then I noticed someone on my back and I struck immediately.

The Demon blocked it with a spear as it made a noise, shifting him back.

"Who are you?" I asked, gathering a little courage as I stared at the One-eyed Demon.

"And who the hell are you.. That you have strength in your hit?" He replied with a scary voice.

He dashed at me and threw his spear straight at me.

I got out of the way as the spear flew past me, missing its shot.

He commanded it back to his hand and attacked me.

I blocked it with my hammer and just as he was about to pierced me with the spear. An unknown wind took him up and threw him away.

"How is that possible?" was the question I asked myself in my mind.

Just then an animal looking strange appeared from the forest.

"Who are you?" I asked and then suddenly, it changed to a monkey as his eyes were icey.

"I am just passing by the forest of Delon.. Then I saw that someone needed my help" He replied with a female voice.

"Okay thanks" I replied.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

"I hit him with this" She replied, forming a golden long wood and showed me.

"I guess you did not see it when this hit him and it returned back to me" She replied putting it on her shoulder.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Dynamic baby," She replied.

"Wow.. You have a cute name" I complemented.

She turned into a cute fifteen years old girl and blushed as her cheeks turned red and I was forced to laugh but I sucked it in.

She snapped her finger and I felt Air conditioning engulf me.

"You did that?" I asked.

"Yeah" She replied with a more enchanting cute voice.

"I want to be friends with you.. How can I call you?" I asked but I was shocked when she pushed me away.

But after she blocked the attack from the demon with her golden wood. I understood the reason for the push.

The golden wood glowed as she hit him with it as he turned into ashes fleeing away.

She walked back to me and I asked.

"Is he dead?"

"Yes" She replied

"I thought demons were immortal," I replied.

"They aren't at my hit and at your hit" She replied.

"What!, What did you mean by my hit?" I asked.

"Find out who you are first?" She replied.

"There are more than five one-eyed demons on earth.. Even if he reincarnates.. It will be in the next 1000 years, ``she added.

"And You can call me by my name, if you really need me" She finally added and disappeared.

""Wow" I exclaimed as I began to take a walk back to the house. Everything is just extraordinary everyday.

I am very sure that the being that called herself a dynamic baby is not a baby. She will be very old.. I will do research about her.

I decided to take a walk to the horizontal of my school and it was quite busy even at 12 AM. What am I expecting?This is the school area.

I moved to a man selling ice cream that surprisingly no one was going to and I brought a cup of Ice-cream.

"I need a cup of Ice-cream" I ordered, crazy me drinking cold Ice-cream on a cold night.

He filled the cup for me and I paid.

"Thank you," He replied.

"I did nothing," I replied.

"You did?" He replied.

"Ever since my daughter has been killed for being accused of being a Demon. People stopped buying Ice-cream from me" He replied and I was suddenly interested in the sad story.

"Can you tell me more please?" I asked.

Flashback.

One year ago

A Demon that has just found a way to enter earth could be seen by no one dashing into the house of the Ice-cream seller's family.

His eyes were looking red and dangerous as his skin looked irritating as maggot was falling from his skin.

He dashed to the seller's woman and devoured her, eating her flesh and drinking her blood hungrily as he leaked his lip and a dangerous smile plastered on his face. He dashed to the seller's only daughter before the seller could protect her and bite her, possessing her with his deadly power.

The little daughter's eyes turned black as she grew teeth, she dashed outside wildly and the Damon dashed away.

The seller ran outside with deep sorrow only to find out that his daughter that went wild had been captured by people.

"Hey mister Ice-cream, your daughter is Demon and she should be put to death straight away. She has killed enough people" A angry man said.

"No, she is not," he protested as tears flowed from his eyes.

They poured petrol on the possessed girl and burned her alive. As the man broke down on his knee as he watched his daughter being burnt alive and he wept bitterly.

After six month he got a little over the memory of him losing his only child and wife the same day. And then he came back to the business of selling Ice-cream.

But surprisingly, no customer was coming forth as his over-full mini shop was suddenly empty like the desert of Dubai.

He heard news from people saying bad comments about him like,

"He is the father of the Demon".

"He may even be a pretending demon".

"If he manifests as a Demon, I will be the first to burn him down".

Flashback ends.

" Hmmmn, this is deep", I remarked silently as he finished narrating the story.

"I am sorry for your loss" I comforted.

"Thanks, thanks for hearing me out, You are the first student to hear me out" He replied with a sad smile.

"So you have been like this without a customer for how long?" I asked.

"Six months," He replied.

"And you kept on wasting your money doing Ice-cream without Customers?" I asked

"Yes, I was doing a little and was hoping one day a customer will patronize me" He replied.

"Did you have any information about the demon?" I asked.

"Yeah.. He is a Maggot stinking Demon" He replied.

"I have even made further research about demons and I found out that they are immortal and can't be killed by fire nor humans. So I gave up on revenge." He replied.

"I will avenge the death of your family" I suddenly promised and I was angry at myself for promising a promise, I can't fulfill.

"I don't think so" He responded and I did not argue with him.

"Can I have all the research you gave up on?" I asked by now we are already seated.

"No... I don't want you risking your life all in the name of avenging my family. The demon's are leaving in the form of humans now and your life is at risk now" He replied.

"Okay but I will really appreciate, if you give me the research.. It will really help me in the article, I want to write" I lied.

"I don't really believe you want to use it to write an article but I will give you anyway" He replied and I smiled.

"Thanks" I replied.

"I will just close the shop already" He replied.

"You must be staying this long since you don't have customers because you don't have anybody to comfort at home" I replied in a mild way and he replied with a 'hirg".

"I will take my leave and I will come by tomorrow afternoon for Ice-cream" I replied standing up as I took a stroll by to my house.

I fling my hand in the process as they moved interchangingly.

Just then, I saw a strange little thing looking at me with fire all over its body and I was terrified.
