DEVIL'S HIGH

CHAPTER 31

KIARA'S POINT OF VIEW

The abrupt change in their energies caught me off guard, especially Leviathan's, and I was too shocked to decipher what was going on. I hated myself for letting my guard down and allowing them entrance to my world, even if it was just for a few minutes. The hatred he had towards my father was obvious as his aura darkened at the mention of our parents being friends and his reaction was a reality check for me. No matter how much they act, the demons will always be against us.

We reached the museum within the next five minutes and both the guys behave like nothing happened, laughing and making random jokes. But their energy still remain tensed, so I maintained an enough distance from them and always had my hand on my sling bag; just in case.

Since it was a week day, there were not much visitors, so I had enough personal space of my own and didn't have to be afraid of bumping someone.

"This way."

Samael guided us through the massive red colored building, where the glass dome itself covered the entire roof, letting in immense light and a breathtaking view of floating clouds.

Leviathan walked behind me, so I gestured him to move ahead, concerned that he might hit me in the head or something. More than Samael, I should be careful of this red head, as he has the ability to touch me without getting hurt and that made him a potential danger.

What was I thinking, coming alone with them? If only Keres didn't have to attend the voluntary community service, she could have accompanied me. However, I have informed both her and Azazel about this small trip while Samael and Leviathan went to get the car. I thought he would prevent me from going, but it was the opposite. Azazel even told me that this was a great opportunity for me to learn more about them.

We stood behind a small queue in front of a black double door and I could hear drums playing from inside. It was so dramatic and serious that I wondered if it was a theatrical drama. In heaven, we had Angels performing skits about different stories and I imagined it was something similar. However, I was confused and amazed to see rows of seats facing a wall that was covered in an ash colored mirror. The lighting was dim and there were only few others besides us.

"Take any seats."

Leviathan said and walked to the furthest seat away from the mirror. I followed him and somehow ended up in the middle of these tow, despite the several vacant chairs around us.

"What is this place?"

I looked at the others and they all had some food or drinks in their hand while the others had a notepad or books.

"A movie theatre. But not the usual ones. Only culture and history related dramas are played here."

Leviathan filled in for me and I just stared at him. Movie theatre?

"You haven't been to one before?"

It was Samael, and his eyes had a glint of amusement. Their auras were getting back to normal, and I relaxed a little. Thank God he gave us such senses.

"We have live theatrical performances, but this glass thing is new for me."

"Wow, really? Then this will be a best experience."

Leviathan's words were interrupted by a loud bell and the lights began to turn off. What in the world!

"Don't worry. This is similar to a skit, but no one is real, just animation. The projector back there would play a previously filmed movie and it will be reflected on the large screen. If it is getting too scary, tell me and we will leave immediately. But if you muster up the courage and concentrate, then all the basic details will be covered within the next hour."

I did not understand half of what he said, but there was no time to inquire about it as the wall in front of me started displaying pictures and writings. At first it started off with some old information, how hell was formed and all. I was surprised to see an illustration of my father, Uncle Gabriel and others, but their faces were blurred, even though it wasn't real.

They didn't show the entire war and I understand that it would too humiliating for the demons. I was also amazed to know that they haven't twisted the real story or made Lucifer a hero. It was just as how we were taught and Samael was not even bothered, instead; he leaned closer to me until I could feel his breath on my skin.

It must be the darkness, or the eerie background music. Whatever it was, I had the sudden urge to close the gap between us.

"It is just about to start. Tell me if it is too much, okay?"

I nodded my head, not daring to turn and make eye contact. If I even slightly twist my neck, then we would be in a very awkward position and I didn't want that to happen.

However, my clouded mind froze as the screen was filled with the creation of demons and their purposes. I gasped the first time blood and disfigured limbs were shown without any warning and I could feel the insides of my body trembling. I managed to watch the first three on my own, but it was getting harder and harder.

SAMAEL'S POINT OF VIEW

I saw Kiara staring at the moving images with wide eyes, and there was pure horror in them. I slowly raised my hand and moved it towards her arm on the armrest, but took it back immediately as the slightest contact of my finger on her skin made sparks. She was too terrified to notice it and I am glad that she didn't.

Up next was a very gruesome clip, and I knew that she would either run or scream after seeing that. Maybe this was a bad idea. I was thinking of a way to block her view when the scene came, but my thoughts were shattered as Leviathan's arm wrapped around her shoulder and he pulled her towards him, covering her face in his chest.

F**k!
