My Unlucky Demon

Phone

Ding!

Right after I handed her my number, she sent me a thumbs up.

Don't text me unless it's urgent.

I texted her back then she sent me another thumbs up.

I took a glance of her after she sent me the thumbs up and noticed that she was actually looking at me as well with an annoying smile on her face.

"Stop." I told her through text then she replied with a question mark.

Ah... I meant for her to stop smiling at me for no reason because it feels awkward, but if she ask me why then I wouldn't be able to answer, so I just didn't reply. I placed my phone on the table and laid down the bed.

I closed my eyes acting as if I was about to sleep.

Just a few seconds later I heard her get off her bed then I heard footsteps. Hmm, is she going to Raphael and Gab?

I opened my eyes to take a peek, and I got startled when I saw her bright red eyes looking right at me from up close. Her nose is almost touching mine already. As soon as I opened my eyes wide, she moved her face away replacing it with her phone.

Ugh, what she doing, the phone is too close. I grabbed her by the wrist moving the phone out of my sight and sat up. I took my phone and texted her something. I have been curious about a couple of things for awhile now.

"What kind of errand was it?" I asked.

Follow girl. Carry bags.

She replied with the usual child-like grammar. At least she knew what i was talking about.

"Are you a pagan?" I asked. She usually comes with us wherever inside the campus, but she refused to go inside the church, even after we persuaded her.

pagan?

"Do you have a religion?"

She tilted her head as if not getting a single word I'm saying. It seems that Mallory knows nothing about religion. She didn't know anything about phones, school schedules, fashion or even showers. She knows too little, it's as if she had lived inside a cave her whole life.

"What about your eyes, are they real?"

She took my hand and pointed my finger towards her left eye, making contact with it, I noticed it was wet. I was surprised, I never touched somebody else's eye like this, not even my own. Doesn't it hurt being touched like this? I moved my finger upwards unintentionally, her pupils suddenly shot upwards. I immediately pulled my finger away. Mallory rubbed her eyes then texted me something.

Ding!

Real?

Yeah, it is real. I sent her a like as a reply.

My curiosity suddenly vanished because of what she did. With no more questions in mind I decided to go out and buy some food for dinner, reminding me of myself having to go down and back up four flights of stairs after this. *sigh*

Not even a need to ask, of course, Mallory followed me. I only noticed that she was there when we reached the lobby. I brought my phone and she brought hers, I was thinking of texting her to go back, but I feel bad to make her go back up without gaining anything. “Stay here” I told her through text. I left her at the lobby with the dorm manager looking after her, he seemed young, but he should be responsible enough just by the fact that he’s the dorm manager. Abigor, he told me his name. It’s kind of rare, but I see a resemblance in him to Mallory. His eyes are black and different from Mallory’s, neither is it the face shape nor the skin color. Perhaps it is the hair that makes them look similar, the unique hair that Mallory has, that I’ve never seen on others before. Truthfully speaking, Mallory’s features are too unique and distinct, it is hard to find someone who has even the slightest resemblance to her appearance. But well, it I merely an opinion.

Mallory’s POV

Michael left. I turned behind to see Abigor looking at me with dismay. “He thinks he owns you now, huh?” His voice reaching me through telepathy. “What is this?” he took the phone from me.

“Give it back!” I said, talking to him telepathically.

“Such poor means of communication, you do not even know his voice.” He said, “Can you read his mind through this?”

I tried to steal the phone back but he’s putting it high up out of my reach and is even pushing my head down to even further restrain my reach.

“Stop, give it back!” I said as I struggle.

“What do you plan to do with them?” he asked.

“What do you mean?” I continue to struggle.

“Mallory, you are to naïve. That man is trying to use you!” he said, “You’re not a succubus, you’d gain nothing if he eats you up,”

“You’re mistaken, brother!” I finally give up on trying to reach.

“He’s a human, Mallory. You play with them, they don’t get to play with you.”

“They are different from other humans.” I said, “You underestimate me too much, it is not as if I’m powerless.” I released a small amount of dense aura, Abigor may be older than me, but I won’t lose to him in power. “Do not try to control me.” I warned him. Abigor is too scheming, luring me here is another one of his schemes, him having to approach me secretly like this means that there is something about Michael and the others that he cannot scheme through.

“Hmph, threatening me. You’ve become quite interesting Mallory.” He smirked, “But do not forget, it is only a matter of time until our maturity.” He showed me his true eyes and proceeded to give off his evil demeanor that surpasses mine. As we grow closer to maturity, the more evil and stronger we become. And finally, at the time of maturity can we have a taste of the soul of humans. The more we eat, the stronger we become, the more evil in our surroundings, the better it is for nurturing us. “If something happens, do not blame me for not holding back.” he said.

“You don’t have to, ‘cause neither would I.” I replied.

“Phones have a so called ‘GPS’, it makes them able to track your location using the device.” He said, handing the phone back to me. “You did not know this, did you?” Indeed, I did not know of it.

I took the phone back. “It does not matter.” I told Abigor. Right at this moment, I noticed Michael’s scent drawing nearer. Abigor seem to have noticed as well, “There’s no use getting attached to humans.” he went back to his post. I waited by the entrance for Michael. I doubt there’ll be such an event as something that can alarm Abigor anyway. Ooh, I can smell food together with his scent! *drool* faster! I’m gonna eat you all up!
