The Girl Who Is Half-Human and Half-Demon

Chapter 9

'You're awake at last, Callidora.' Leviathan said. Callidora was tied up to a chair. 'Leviathan.' 'I thought we were gonna wait, Father.' Lucifer added. 'What is really your plan, Leviathan? ' Callidora asked, struggling to get out. 'Why would I tell you?' Leviathan replied. 'Since you're held captive, let's see if your granddaughter will rescue you.' 'I told them not to worry about me, they still need to train more anyways.' Callidora replied, still struggling to get out. 'You know, those ropes are magic bearing ropes, you can't use your magic to get out.' Leviathan chuckled. 'You're a wicked person, Leviathan.' Callidora replied. Leviathan laughed mischievously. 'I'll keep you locked down here, Az'galoth'. ' Leviathan concluded, then walked away. Lucifer followed his father. He called me by the last name that I have never used for decades! Just how wicked is he? Callidora tried getting out but had no luck, so she sat down there patiently.

'You're being too weak, Iris! Hit me harder! ' Said Jake as they were practicing their powers. 'Soulshard!' A bunch of crystal shards came running down on Jake. A bunch of them hit Jake and he was barely standing. Iris stopped and ran over to Jake, 'Jakey, are you okay?! Oh my Algarath, I'm sorry! Serenity!" Iris called out. Serenity came running towards them, 'What happened?' Serenity asked. 'I hit him with too many crystal shards! ' Iris replied. Serenity used her healing magic. Jake winced in pain. 'I'm sorry Jake..' Iris buried her face in her hands. Jake stood up after Serenity was done. 'Guess you aren't weaker than I thought you were, Iris. ' Jake chuckled. Iris's face lit up, with tears on her face. 'I'll go now. You're welcome, sis.' Serenity walked away. 'I'm really sorry Jake..' Jake hugged her, 'It's alright. You proved you're strong. ' He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead, 'Everything is okay now.' And he hugged her tighter. Iris stopped crying, 'Bet you can't hit me strong enough!' Iris suddenly said as he let go of Jake's grip. "Oh let's see!' Jake laughed.

Keara was practicing her ballet shoes with her magic. 'Hey, Serenity, where'd you go darling?' She said. 'To Iris and Jake. He was hurt, so Iris called me. ' Serenity replied. 'Oh, okay.' Keara added. Serenity went back to practicing her magic. Keara was tired an hour later, so he took off her ballet shoes and sat down on the grass. 'My feet are sore, oh my.' Keara complained. Serenity stopped and went over to sit beside Keara and placed her head on her shoulder. 'You're tired too, huh, darling?' Keara asked. Serenity nodded. She hugged Keara.

'I'm tired. Can we sleep?'

'Where? In here?'

Serenity nodded.

'Alright, whatever you say darling.'

Serenity cuddled Keara, as she slowly fell asleep. Keara caressed her face, and Serenity smiled. Keara fell asleep a few minutes later. She woke up an hour later, and sat up, looking at the sky. This part of Hell is so beautiful, like my darling. She pats Serenity's head. Keara drifted into a daydream but is actually having flashbacks. Do you think we're gonna have a lesbian daughter?! You must be mistaken, young lady! Your cousin is so much better than you! You're such a mistake! Our years of giving a roof over your head, then you give it back to us by telling us you're lesbian?' Her mom shouted at Keara. Get out of our house right now! She shifted back to reality. She cried, 'Is it really that wrong to like girls?' She buried her face in her hands, sobbing. Serenity woke up to her crying and he hugged Keara. 'It's rare for you to cry, darling. What's wrong?' Keara couldn't answer, she was crying so much. Serenity kissed her before hugging her tighter. 'It's okay if you don't want to tell me, but I'm always here for you. It hurts me to see you cry like this.' They hugged for a while.

'You're annoying, you know that, right?' Said Iris, laughing. 'I know.' Jake added, 'You're annoying too.' He laughed, and Iris laughed with him, I know I like him, but I just can't tell him, I might ruin this friendship. Iris thought. Iris is pretty, and I like her, but I can't tell her that, can't I?' Iris looked up to the sky. 'Pretty' She said. "Like you..' Jake added,

'What?'

'Nothing, I didn't say anything.' Jake replied,

'Okay?' Iris was confused.

I'm pretty sure he said 'like you' but maybe I was just imagining things.

It was silent for a while until Iris opened her mouth.

'Cause one day, I'll have you beggin' on your knees for me, yeah one day, I'll have you crawling like a centipede, you mess with me, I'll mess with her, so I'll make sure you get what you deserve, yeah one day, you'll be beggin' on your knees for me. She was singing. Jake loved her voice.

'You have a nice voice, you know.'

'W-what?'

'Do I have to repeat myself? You have a nice voice, and I like it.'

Iris blushed. 'Go away...' She mumbled. 'I don't have a nice voice.'

'Oh, but you do!' Jake added. 'You don't realize your talent.'

Iris was quiet.

'You agree with me now?'

'No.' Iris replied quickly.

'Alright, whatever you say, Rissie.'

'What did you call me?' Iris asked.

'Rissie. My new nickname for you.' He answered.

'Did you really have to?'

'Yes, since you have a nickname for me too.'

'Fine..' Iris said.

Iris sat up and said, 'I don't know but... I have the same dream every night. '

'What is the dream?' Jake asked.

'My mom, held captive by Lucifer. And he killed her. I couldn't do anything, it seems like my dreams predict the future.'

Jake placed a hand on her shoulder, 'It's going to be okay, I know you're strong, even at your lowest. Your mother will not die. You can save her by the use of the chant. You may not be ready now, but you will be in the future, so don't worry. '

Iris nodded, 'Okay, I suppose so.'

'Worry about the present, not the future. Your actions affect your future, good or not. '

Iris hugged Jake. 'Thanks, Jakey. ' Jake replied, 'No problem. Rissie, I'm always here for you. ' And he hugged her back.

'And that's what happened. Even if I show happy, and always encourage the team, I'm hurting on the inside, ' Keara said. Serenity hugged her. 'Is it wrong to like girls, Serenity?'

'No.' Serenity replied.

'Why?'

''Cause we love who we want, do you care what other people say?'

Keara was hesitant for a moment, "No,' she said softly, then she kissed Serenity. 'Who cares what other people say? I love you with all my heart." Serenity smiled. 'I love you too.' They hugged.

'Are you two ready to rescue Callidora?' Elranoth asked. 'Yes,' Iris replied. Elranoth nodded. She walked to Keara and Serenity, "Sorry to interrupt, but uh, are you two ready to rescue Callidora?' Keara and Serenity let go of their grip, 'Yep, we are.' Keara replied. 'Alright then' Said Elranoth as she prepared the departure for the four of them.
