IN LOVE WITH A DEMI-GOD 3

Jersey POV

I sat on the chair close to my window, looking at the sky. It's already dark outside; I studied the stars closely. Why do good people suffer? Why do bad people prosper?

Ever since day one, Damian has chosen to be my nightmare in broad daylight. He likes threatening me, hitting me, using me as his punching bag, and collecting any money found in my pocket.

I don't walk freely in my school because it feels like I'm a sheep in a lion's territory. I still remember how he lashed his belt on my back, how he made me use my tongue to lick his new shoes in front of everyone.

He looks for reasons to attack me and bully me because I have no one, no backup, no strength, and no money. Is being poor a crime?.

Every day, I wake up and pray, telling God to give me some extra powers so I can defeat Damian, but nothing works. I wish all the things I watch from fantasy movies could come to reality in my life. I exhaled before going to bed after having dinner with my mom and sister.

I found myself in an unknown dark world with rocks everywhere. This place looks like a tunnel; how did I get here? What am I doing here? Everything here looks scary, and I can't help it.

I studied the whole place closely, moving like a snail, then I got to the end. I slowly opened the big door in front of me before walking into a room that is five times bigger than our sitting room, with a throne at the extreme end.

I scanned the whole room, breathing very fast due to how scared I was. Suddenly, flames appeared on the candles in the room; the whole place became bright.

"Welcome to my world!" The voice echoed, with the owner nowhere to be found in the room.

"Are you scared? Don't be. This is just a dream; you invited me into your subconscious mind" the voice consoled me.

Dream? How? I wondered, still not convinced.

"Why do you need a guardian angel so badly? Why do you seek powers you don't know anything about?" the voice queried me.

"Who are you? My guardian angel?" I uttered sacredly, looking around.

"Perhaps, if you want. But can you pay the price behind my help?" the voice bargained.

"What is your price?" I followed up the conversation.

"Immortal Lover!" he screamed. I quickly covered my ears because his voice was so loud. I slowly looked up when I heard the sound of footsteps walking towards me, to see a white ray beyond my vision appear before my eyes.

"Wake up! You'll be late for church" Kate, my little sister, said, tapping my back. I slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes.

'So, it was all a dream? I looked around my room; I looked at my skin to see goosebumps. Was that just a normal dream, or a vision?

"Go get ready; we'll be leaving for church soon. How is your body now?" Kate asked.

"I'm good" I said, plastering a smile on my worried face before going to my bathroom.

Zayn POV

Since yesterday, after saving Jersey, I haven't been myself. His thoughts just keep repeating in my brain. The only thing that appears in my head is the injured but innocent face he has and how desperate he was for a helper.

I broke into his dreams just so I could satisfy my curiosity. This feels strange; I have lived for five hundred years now, with no feelings or emotions for any human.

All I do is serve justice to the innocent ones and punishment to the evil ones. Why am I being attracted to a mere teenager like him? I hissed, trying as hard as possible to sneak his thoughts out of my head.

"Are you going to leave me here to die?" The words in his subconscious mind kept repeating themselves in my brain, leaving me confused and unfocused.

Maybe all this is happening because I refused to serve justice to him. I will make his enemies pay, and I will provide justice for him, so I can get him out of my head.

Jersey POV

I came back home with my mom and sister after church. I decided to spend my day watching TV since I have nothing else to do.

I am a fan of Korean movies, especially their fantasy movies. I turned it to my favorite TV station, and it was showing a movie titled 'MY DEMON'.

This is exactly what I have been praying for: someone to hold onto, someone who'll always come to my rescue when I'm in danger.

I found myself so engrossed in the show, not allowing myself to be distracted. "If only this were possible! I just wish" I hissed.

Today is Sunday; tomorrow, my unending torture continues from Damian. I don't know when this whole bullying thing is going to stop, but I just wish someone could come to my rescue.

I spent the rest of my day watching the rest of the episode. After I was done, I couldn't help but smile, being so satisfied with how the movie ended.

Night came and passed. I got dressed, ready for school, before heading down for breakfast. I received taunts of advice.

She warned me severely to avoid anything that would lead to a fight, without even knowing the hell I'm passing through in NHA. I smiled, assuring her that I wouldn't fight again, before leaving for school.

IN LOVE WITH A DEMI-GOD 4

Jersey POV

I met Prince at the school gate before we walked to our class together. Teachers kept coming in and going out after teaching. Time for break came,and Prince and I went to grab some snacks from the school canteen. We debated on irrelevant topics as we ate our snacks. I studied the whole place as I ate my snack.

"I'll be back; I want to use the restroom" Prince said before leaving.

A few minutes later, I was already done with my snack and drink,but Prince wasn't back yet, and it felt strange. What could be keeping him in the restroom till now? Then my phone beeped.

I squinted my eyes, shocked and scared, as I read the message from Damian: "If you want to see your friend alive, come to the boys' secret restroom now!"I read quietly before looking around, not knowing what to do.

Prince was already in trouble, and if I didn't go there now, they might end up hurting him badly. Who could I ask for help now?

I rushed down to the restroom alone. I opened the door and rushed in to see Prince on the floor with his clothes rumpled.

"Look who we have here!"Joe smirked wickedly at me before exchanging mockery looks with his friends.

"Merlin!" Damian mocked,and they burst into laughter.

"Hope you have some powers to defeat us, so we don't hurt your lover boy?" Alvin queried, laughing at me.

'Lover? Wait, do they know about me?' I contemplated before clearing my throat, making them turn to me.

"Jersey, please get out of here; I'll be alright; call the security!"Prince suggested urgently.

"Will you shut up!"Mark pulled out his large, dark curvy... and pointed it at Prince, who quickly covered his face. I ran to him, covering his body with mine. Mark urinated on my back, soaking my uniform. I cried out with Prince,while they laughed loudly at us.

"Do you wanna have a taste?"Damian asked, holding Mark's... before shaking it a bit.

"C'mon, don't pretend as if you don't want it. Come suck it; nice, huh!"Alvin said before hitting my head, making me groan, still holding Prince.

"Hey, gay boy, so you're protecting your boyfriend, huh?"Joe asked.

"Please leave my friend alone; please" I pleaded with a broken voice. How I wished my savior would just come to my rescue now.

"Well, it seems he's shy because of his friend" Mark laughed.

"Let's go, guys; next time" They left.

"Are you okay?"I asked Prince after helping him up. Thank God I came here on time; who knows what they were planning to do to him?

"Yes, I'm fine; what about you? He urinated on your body" Prince worried as he helped me remove my clothes.

"Those brats are lunatics. Why did you refuse to call the security? Look at what they did to you!" Prince nagged continuously due to how angry he was.

"Thank you for always being here for me"I said.

"It's okay. Go shower while I dry-clean your clothes"Prince said.

Throughout the whole day, Prince and I stayed away from class due to my clothes. I don't know why those boys are so heartless.

I wore my clothes immediately we discovered that they had dried, before going back to our class to pick up our school bags.

"I remembered him calling us gays; how did they find out?"Prince asked curiously.

"I don't know, and that's the least of my problem" I said before carrying my school bag, then a note fell on the floor, which I picked up to see what was written on it.

"Be careful of what you wish"I read in my mind, confused.

"What's that?"Prince walked to me to check.

"Do you think the boys did this?"

"I'm not sure; let's leave from here," I said before leaving with Prince.

Zayn POV

Why am I so attracted to Jersey? A guy from nowhere with a canny wish. I watched my heart crumble and become restless because I refused to help him when he wished for my presence.

"I can't let myself keep doing this; this has to stop! I am not human; I am immortal, so why the feelings? Why the attraction? Or is this also part of my punishment?" I grumbled bitterly.

I paced up and down my chamber, boiling in anger and devastation. How dare those boys touch what's mine?

'Mine? Why does my heart crave to have him as my possession? This is unfair, Mother Nature; this is ridiculous' I said to myself, regretting deeply.

Jersey POV

I walked to my seat the following day and sat quietly. Our tutor walked in before the lecture started; I understood everything,and I was able to answer most of the questions asked by our teacher.

Our classes for the day ended smoothly; Prince and I decided not to go anywhere during break; we wanted to avoid anything that would give those bullies a chance to get to us.

Everybody started heading out because school was already over. We joined the crowd, intentionally avoiding any contact with the boys.

Fate always has its way of working; the boys still managed to get a hold of us before dragging us out from the crowd to the boys' changing room for swimmers. They made us kneel before them as our punishment.

"You think you two are smart,huh? I'll teach you a lesson!”
