My Mate

First interaction

Lily

After walking around lugging my small bag I came across a camp. I sniffed the air and knew it was vampires, and I saw a man running towards me with a spear. Being a demon means I have fast reflexs so I easily snatched the spear and pointed it back towards the Vampire. "What are you" he mumbled while backing away from me. He was adorable with his dusty blond hair, bright green eyes, pale skin and bulging muscles. I let my eyes linger at the frightened vampire before looking into his eyes. "I'm no foe" I said straightening my back and lightly flapping my wings. He looked at my wings and back to my eyes before letting out a loud whistle. I was confused until vampires swarmed around me, I looked around expecting to see hatred. Instead I saw relief, I flapped my wings to hover into the air. They continued to look in awe, after making sure it wasn't some trap I glided down to my feet and looked around. "So a demon shows up and everyone is in awe" I asked sarcastically. No one spoke for way too long until the guy who tried to attack me chuckled. "It's not because of what you are, but because of who you are. We have known of the fire tribrid for quite some time. It has taken many years for you to come" he said leading me into the compound. "Tribrid? I'm a demon not a tribrid" I said as my step faltered. I slowly followed the vampires into their home their territory was much larger than I had once believed.

After walking for some time I saw a castle of sorts that was raised into the sky. I stared mouth agape as we approached. "This is the perfect time for you to be here, the demon who told us of your arrival is still here" The Vampire said as he opened the large door leading into the castle. As soon as the door opened I was greeted with the most amazing scent, it smelled of woods and mint. I sniffed and let my nose lead me to the smell. "What is that smell" I asked as I struggled to follow the scent because it seemed to be coming from more than one direction. The vampires looked at each other in confusion before one spoke, "I do not know. Nothing smells off what does it smell like" he asked. "It smells like the woods and mint, it smells amazing" I said confused as to why they couldn't smell it. We all looked at each other in confusion until we heard a door slam nearby. The smell was so much stronger it was like I was swimming in it. I turned around quickly hitting my wing on the wall. Behind me stood the most beautiful man I have ever seen. He had black hair and bright blue eyes, his muscles bulged through his thin shirt and he was about five inches taller then me making him around six foot five. I heard a gasp from one of the vampires "we should have known" one remarked, "I forgot he hasn't found his yet" another said. I stared at the beautiful man in confusion. "What" I suddenly yelled turning to the vampires flapping my wings.

They looked at me with fearful expressions before I felt sparks all over my body. The beautiful man had wrapped his arms around me. I flew up to the tall ceiling before shaking him off and hearing him hit the floor with a loud thud. About a dozen werewolves busted into the room with a few more vampires. A few vampires jumped to try and grab me but I would not let them. After a couple minutes I saw a demon walk into the room and I got distracted. A vampire jumped up and grabbed my ankle before yanking me to the floor. I skidded on the floor and my arm bent in a weird way. Only because demons cannot die does not mean we cannot feel pain. My arm was throbbing and bleeding black blood. I looked at it as tears pooled in my eyes and my vision became blurry as I popped it back into place with a scream. Everyone fell to the ground gripping their ears in pain.

I slowly stood noticing the pool of black blood surrounding my feet, I walked up to the vampire who had yanked me down. I picked him up and bit into his neck because I had the weird urge to drink blood. Once I started I felt as if I couldn't stop. As soon as I started drinking the pain went away and my arm completely healed. It was as if nothing happened. I slowly backed away from the vampire I had just drunk from and looked around in panic.

The vampire had a black spider like web forming on his neck where I bit him. I stared in horror as the web stretched along his neck and face. He stood as if he was commanded to do so even though no one had talked. His head slowly slid off his body and he turned to dust. I let out a painful scream and I began to panic and cry. "What? Why? How?" I wailed as I looked at the pile of dust.

After a while I looked up and everyone aside from the demon had a surprised look on their face. I stumbled towards the ashes with tears in my eyes. I tried picking up the ashes but there was something hard in the middle of the pile. I slowly pulled it out to see an orb, inside the orb was the vampire walking around. I stared in shock and not long after I was approached by the demon. "You did not kill him" he said in a husky voice. I looked into his eyes and realized that they were like mine. Before I had time to say anything he responded "You are from my line, I have eyes like yours and I have extreme power like you. You are a tribrid while I am simply a demon with a couple extra powers. You have simply trapped him in his greatest memory, you child are part witch so it allows you to do spells and since you were never trained you cannot control your powers. I would offer to teach you but I know nothing of witches. You are part demon as well which I am sure that you know but you are also part Angel." he said. I stared in disbelief. "Since you are a part of my line you have emotions and a particular power. Unlike any other you can make those around you feel your emotions, like I can" he added with a small tear rolling down his face. "What was that feeling earlier" I asked staring at the man who smelled of wood and mint. "Ah that would be your mate. Every one has a mate but demons usually never find theirs due to their lack of emotions" he said glancing at the man. "What do I do about him" I asked pointing at the orb. "You let him go" he said before getting up and throwing the orb.

It busted and the room was covered in smoke and the vampire I thought I killed was standing there without a mark except a small scar that looked like a spider's web. I jumped on him to hug him while apologizing. The beautiful man growled loudly and yanked me into his chest and off of the vampire. "Well Mate my name is Lily" I said with a small wink. "That is not funny" he said glaring at me but I was way too happy that I did not kill that vampire to care about his rudeness. I kissed him on the cheek before flying towards the roof. I flew towards the beautiful man and crashed into him giggling. This should be fun "So is there a kitchen in this place" I mumbled while standing up as if nothing happened. "Yes this way" I heard before someone tackled me to the ground.
