A blob demon is in front of me. It's not supposed to be here. Not in the human
realm. I clutch the cold smooth metal of my scythe. The scythe my dad gave to
me. I tried to tell him that I wouldn't need it for school. Not in the human
realm. There are people injured on the floor. Why is this happening to me? I
guess I'm the only one that has a chance against that thing. I point my scythe
at it reluctantly and walk slowly towards it. The blob demon growls and starts
controlling black slime stuff. I guess I have to use my flames. Flames surround
my scythe. I immediately start feeling tired and my stomach starts to hurt. It's
the life of only being half demon. I attack the demon with my scythe. It makes
a horrible screech noise. The burn on the monster starts to heal itself. It's
weak to fire but heals fast. I strike it again. I start to cough up blood from
using my fire. It swipes its claws at me. It has slowed me down but I manage to
hit it again. This time I managed to kill it. It fades to black.
I wake up in a white cold room on a
hard hospital bed. I sit up slowly. "Wait," a woman says. I look over at her. "You
shouldn't get up yet you were coughing up blood and got injured."
"I'm fine," I say.
"You're not fine," she says. I get
up anyway.
"Where is my stuff?" I say. Walking
towards the door.
"In the office on the top floor." I
left before she could say anything else.
I get to the top floor. I walk
around looking for the office. I go in once I finally find it. people walk by
staring at me. I go in, and a woman my age is sitting at an office desk. My
stuff is in the corner. My scythe is locked up in a glass case. "You were in
that attack," the woman says. I nod looking over at my stuff mostly my scythe.
"You work here?" I say. I was not
expecting her. She is around my age. I was expecting an adult.
"I am just covering for my dad," she
says. Looking at me. Mostly at my fox ears and tail. I look human other than
those. It's just because I'm half demon.
"Your dad?" I say
"Yes, he is the principal," she
says standing up, walking over to me.
"And he makes you cover for him?" I
say.
"Yes, but I don't have time to get
into this right now. My name is Nala. Do you know anything about what that
thing was?" she says. I sigh.
"It's a demon. Not sure why it's here.
It's not supposed to be," I say.
I get set up in my dorm. A few days
have passed and there have been no other attacks. So far, I have one friend
named Calla. She is also best friends with Nala.
I am walking down the hall. I hear
something weird coming from a closet. It sounds like a growl. I stop in front
of it. I open the door and walk in. The room is messy as if a creature is in there.
There are scratch marks on the walls. "Another demon? What the heck is going
on," I say. My heart speeds up. The growling gets louder. A large fluffy black
demon walks over slowly like it's stocking me. I open the door slowly. I back
out of the room. I don't have my scythe with me. Nala said I'm not allowed. I
walk out the creature is still following me. I keep backing up. There are a few
people that walk by. "Hey, everyone get away from here there is another demon!"
I say walking over closing the door trying to trap. The demon is pounds I try
to hold it in but its strong and I struggle.
"Ace!" Calla says walking by. She
stops. "Is that another one of those demons?" why does she have to be here of
all people?
"Stay back Calla I don't want you
to get hurt," I say the demon breaks through the door with its claws. I get a
scratch on the arm stepping back.
"Ace you should get out of here
too," she says.
"No, I'm the only one that can fight
it," I say. Flames surrounded me as I got ready to fight it. I shot fire at it
and it swiped its claws at me. I jump back.
"Ace, please just run," Calla says.
I keep attacking the demon with fire.
"Don't worry about me," I say as
I'm coughing up blood. "Just get out of here!" I feel like I could pass out.
The demon was about to attack me as I'm slowing down. However, calla jumps in
front of me.
She is now on the ground bleeding.
My heart drops. I pick her up and take her to the nurse.
At the nurse. Calla is bleeding out
and losing consciousness. She dies. I
pass out.
I wake up on a bed in the room. "What
happened?" I say. Then my heart drops remembering what happened. I start to
cry. The nurse looks at me.
"I'm sorry what happened to your
friend," she says looking at me.
The next few days I shut down. Why
does this kind of thing happen to me? No matter where I go I can't just live my
life in peace. In the demon world I'm weak only being a half demon. In the
human world I usually stand out to much. However, there has been two attacks.
Now my friend has died. My heart aches. I'm in bed. I haven't gone to
class. I have been to ashamed to show myself.
There's a knock on the door. "Hey,
Ace are you in here?" Nala says. Why is she here? She was Callas best
friend. She should hate me. "Ace, can you please come out?" She says. I walk
out slowly. My hair is messy. Nalas eyes are red like she has been crying. "I
just, I don't know. Calla was a shy person but… can we just talk?" she says. I
nod. Why would she want to talk to me?
We go to another room. There is a
table and a couch. We sit down sinking
into the couch. "What do you want to talk about? Don't you hate me now?" I say.
"I don't hate you, however, what
happened?" she says.
"It was another attack," I say.
"A attack? Like another one of
those monsters came back?" she says and I nod.
"I don't know why. They are not
supposed to be in this world," I say. At first I thought it was just the
one.
"Do you think there would be more?"
She looks at me. I don't know if there would be more.
"It's hard to say with just two
attacks," I say. She looks at me thinking about what to say.
" I'm scared, what if there are
more?" she says.
"I would just take it easy for now.
If anything happens tell me," I say.
Two days later I get called into
the principals office. The principals name is Elvin. The room looks like a
normal small office room. Grey walls, a desk with a computer, there is a sound
of a air conditioner. The first weird thing is that there is a certain behind
him. Like he is hiding something. A middle aged man sits there. He has brown
hair and a scar on his eyebrow. "Hello, Ace I heard so much about you," he says
smiling. He points to the chair in front of him I sit down.
"Am I in trouble?" I say.
"Are you?" He says. I stand there not
saying anything. "You're a demon aren't you?"
"I'm only half demon," I say. He
nods
"You see that makes things
complicated," he says. What is this guy talking about?
"You know about the demon world?" I
say.
"I do, you're presents is a problem,"
he says. I sit there with a chill going down my spine. Something is not
right.
"What do you mean?" I say.
"It means I will have to do
something about it," he says. This is just getting weirder and weirder.
"Do you know what is causing the
attacks?" I say.
"That's a problem to," he says. He
didn't really answer the question.
"Are you going to do something
about it," I say.
"Of course I am," he says. Is he not going to tell me? "The thing is
I think you might be causing them," he says.
"What, I didn't do anything," I
say. My heart speeds up.
"I find that hard to believe," he
says.
"I'm not causing then!" I say. Maybe
I am causing them.
"Well, I find it funny that we
haven't had a problem like this before and now that you're here we had two," He
says. I slump down in my chair. I look really bad right now. "Also, I
don't know if you know this but half-breeds are illegal," he says as I look up
at him. I've never heard of that. I knew it wasn't common at all but illegal.
"Actually humans and demons are not supposed to know about each other at
all. So you see how a have-breed complicates things," he says.
"I never heard about that
actually," I say.
"I find that hard to believe," he
says.
"what are you going to do?" I say
as he stands up and walks over to me.
"I'm simply going to remove the
problem." I look up at him going pale. What does he mean by that? He
tightly grabs my wrist. Forcing me to stand up and drag me to walk to the other
side of the curtain. The other side of the curtain was all dark and cold. There
was a metal chair in the room and tools all over the walls.
"Are you going to kill me?" I say
not wanting to hear the answer. He forces me to sit in the chair.
"Not yet," he says. A flame appears
in my hand. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He gets out a needle.
"I will leave this school and not come
back," I say.
"That wouldn't be enough," he says.
"You see I'm not just a principal. I also work for the order," he says.
"what is the order?" I say.
"The order that keeps the balance
between sides," he says as he straps me down in the chair. Then puts the needle
in my arm taking blood.
"what are you going to do to be
before you kill me?"
"Just a few experiments, because half-breeds
are so rare." He stabs me with more needles. "That's interesting, you get a lot
of side effect from using magic," he says.
"I do."
"use it now, I want to see what
happens went you use to much," he injects me with something. Fire surrounds me.
"What did you do?" I start coughing
up blood and feeling faint. He writes something in a notebook.
"Interesting, I wonder how much longer
this will take," he says. I am on the floor about to pass out. He shakes me
awake. "Your not falling asleep until I kill you I will see what you are like
at your limit," he says.
Nala comes in. "Dad there has been
more attacks," she says.
"I will be out in a bit," she walks
in and gasps.
"What are you doing to Ace?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm just
getting revenge for your best friend." I am about to pass out.
I wake up in a forest outside the
school with Nala. "What happened?" I say. Nala looks like She's been crying.
"I saved you, we are both on the run
now."
She said that I passed out and she
had a fight with her dad. She took me and left.
I go back to the demon world.
