[Chapter 3: To see is too believe]

Believing is not easy not until you see it with your own eyes but now that she saw it, she wants to believe but at the same time not, so when her friends came to the cafe they ordered their favorite foods and chat but when she look at the other side of the road Scorch isn't there anymore, she look around the cafe and found him looking around she sigh but she just continued to chat with her friends about their own lives.

On the other side while Scorch is looking around he saw some angels guarding others humans and some demons that are making fun of people he shook his head and continue to look around, the cafe is like a library too it have many books that you can borrow or read while you were drinking coffee it does ha e a second floor too but it's for VIP only he smile at the idea of humans and look at the books until one book caught his attention so he touch it and close his eyes when he do this it is like he reads the whole content of the book.

Demon's Halo is the title of the book it is about a demon who fell in love with a human but the other people wants to kill the demon because a witch fell in love to the demon but the demon refuse to love the witch so the witch decided to let the hunters kill the demon , for him the love story of the two different creature is interesting but he didn't read the book any further and look at Elena he smile when he saw her laughing with her friends like nothing happens, he adores her for being strong emotionally because she didn't complain even if her parents didn't celebrate her birthday or they didn't bring her to the city with them she just understand the situation they are in, her parents are lucky to have a daughter like her.

He walk out of the cafe and inhale the fresh air he enjoyed looking around and watching the humans do their thing he always wonder what is the feeling to be a human because all of his life he only watch everything but if anything happened like an accident all he can do is to watch and feel sad. He thinks that the world is a little harsh for humans but that's how it works because humans work for their own faith he sigh again and look at the other side of the road he saw some families walking together, some couple and individuals but one caught his eyes and that's a girl in a black hoodie, black jeans and black shoes the girl is walking but she stop and cross the road the thing is there's no pedestrian lane there so he look around but a truck caught his eyes it is coming to the girl's direction so he did what he shouldn't do and that's to save the girl, he stop the time for a second while he teleported the girl to the other side of the road with him then he continued the time , he stand beside the girl and the girl remove her good but what shock him is when the girl look at him and walk backwards he was about to approach the girl but the girl run away leaving him thinking how does she saw him when he thought that Elena is the only one who can see him, does that girl have an ability to see them? But he is happy that he saved a human just now and that's a big goal for him not that he is trying to be a hero

"Scorch where are you? " he heard a voice inside his mind and he recognize that it's Elena's voice he smile because he thinks that she finally believe him

"Do you need anything Elena?" He asked and be heard her gasp so he decided to appear in front of her, well basically just beside her then again he saw her eyes widen

"Hey Elena we're going I still need to help Celine with our research" Alisha said that he thinks that came out from the restroom

"I'm back let's go" Celine said with two coffees in her both hands

"Celine I thought I told you that I want chocolate milk frappe" Alisha disappointedly said

"Oops sorry but anyways Elena can you go home alone? Our house are on different ways" Celine said but Elena just nodded then stood up because she knows that Scorch is with her and she admit that she slowly believing him

"Don't worry about me I'll be fine" Elena said and they walk out of the cafe together with him behind her of course, the girls parted their ways and bid their goodbyes so that leave Elena and Scorch together

"Scorch are you fine? " she said because she notice that he is looking down

"Yes I'm fine but I just saw something weird" he said and she look at him curiously

"Let's talk about it when we arrive at your house" he said and she nodded, while walking Scorch feel something weird so he look around them until he saw something from the other side of the road he got nervous because Elena is with him if be is alone he can handle the situation like this

"Elena run" he said but she just look at him weirdly and she look around too

"Why? " she ask curiously and a little bit afraid he saw the thing move and ready to attack so he grab her by the wrist tightly

"RUN! " he shouted and they run but the thing he saw chased them, he don't know how to fight that thing if Elena is with him so he choose the best choice for now and that's escape, they turn into an alley really fast and he teleported them inside Elena's house

"Help me lock the doors and windows" he said and she did what he said they locked all the doors and windows from the rooms, kitchen and living room after that they sat in the couch

"Why did we run? What the problem? " she ask confused about the situation

"A Hellhound was chasing us that's the problem" he said looking nervous as ever, he never felt this before but he is scared he don't know what is the problem, he only knows that this is bad

"Is it bad? " she ask again looking worried and still confused

"Hellhounds are the guardians of the gate of hell so why would it chased us? what it is doing in earth?and do you finally believe me? " he said and look at her

"Uh yes I believe you, you teleported us inside my house but do you have any idea why the hellhound chased us? "She ask too but both are clueless about their situation until Scorch remember what happened in front of the cafe a few hours ago

"There's a girl that was about to hit by a truck but I saved her and the thing is she can saw me I don't know but after that I felt weird then when we're walking home a hellhound chased us" he said while thinking at the events that happened earlier

"What if the girl that you saw have something to do with hellhound or it chased us because you are an angel? " she said while looking at him and point her fingers at him

"You got some point there but chasing me because I'm an angel? Impossible there's so many angels around I even saw three or four when we are running but the hellhound only chased us" he said with an unbelievable expression

"You know what just rest I'm going to find out myself" he added she nod and walk upstairs but on the other hand Scorch is afraid because hellhounds won't show up unless you did something really bad and for angels, hellhounds are sign that danger is coming he thinks that hellhound showed up because of Elena but at the same time not he also thinks that it is coming for him. The girl that he saved he thinks that it have something to do with her but how? Is it because she can see them or there's something more, he is very confuse he don't know what to do but if his conclusion is right that the events earlier have something to do with that girl then what creature is she? He needs to find her to have the answer he wants.

"No I can't tell it to them" he said to himself, he is thinking to tell it to the council but he knows that they are going to angry to him because finding the answer means they need to communicate with the demons and he knows that the council wouldn't do it because of the rules, rules that they can't break. The council job are to guide them and make them obey the rules not to help them so asking help from the council is useless and communicating with the demons are hard but unlike them demons don't have rules that's what the elder angels have told them.

"Scorch" a voice called him so he look at the stairs and saw Elena in her now comfortable clothes

"Yes? Do you need something? " he asked, she sigh and sat beside him

"My parents called and they said that they will be staying at my grandparents house for three months" she sadly said but he just smile at her

"Don't be sad I will be here, Alisha and Celine are going to be by your side too so don't be sad your not alone" he said she nodded and whispered thank you to him he just smiled at her

"But I'm still confused about the things that happened earlier and how do you know Alisha and Celine?" she said then clicked her tongue but he just laugh at her then pat her head

"I told you that don't worry about it didn't I? Just rest and tonight I will check every corner of the house and the backyard to make sure that there's no more hellhound okay? And about your friends, I've been guarding you since you were born so I know your friends and your enemies " he said and she just giggle , she felt like there's no more fear when he said those things because for her it is comforting

"You want some hot chocolate?I mean can you drink it ?" she ask and stood up

"I can if I want to but for now I don't want to but thank you for asking" he said and she just nodded and walk to the kitchen, she came back with many snacks and a mug, she turn on the television and put a movie on, they just sat in silence watching the movie while she is eating various types of foods but every time she asked if he wants some he just refused because for some weird reason he felt weak, his vision were blurry but after a few seconds it is going back to normal, he also can't hear things clearly which is weird, his throat felt dry too but after a few minutes those feelings are gone and everything went back to normal so he thinks that it is nothing and it is because he use teleportation for two people in just a day so he thought that he is just tired.

The movie is finally over and when he looked at Elena she is already sleeping so he carried her bridal style and turn off the television using telekinesis and walk upstairs into her room, he lay her down to her bed and cover half of her body with her blanket to make her feel warm and he hope that her nightmares won't bother her at least tonight.
