Love, Worlds & Demons

Scary Encounters

"Who are you" I asked as my hand and legs shook from fear. The figure that stood in front of me had two long blazing horns, wore a tattered robe that hung on its shoulders and a sword covered with black flames. "Where am i" i asked again now getting a lot more uncomfortable. "I am the part of you that kept you alive from that gunshot. I opened my eyes full of surprise, could this be happening?

"Where am i right now?"

"You're in a place called the void...."

The figure came closer. "....the void is a state of letting your consciousness connect with your demon, hence, me".

I didn't understand, how could this be happening at a time like this, i was so lost.

(Amy)

I used every ounce of strength i had and raised Don from the floor onto the couch. I placed my face on his chest. "Whew, his still breathing" i said letting out a sigh of relief. I knelt down on the floor holding his hand as he laid there unconscious not moving an inch. I wonder how he was feeling, was he okay? Could i help in anyway? So many thoughts crept around in my mind. I stared at him, he was so cute as he was quiet. His white hair matched his blue eyes, but were now red. I was still lost in thought when something struck me. "I can't believe he heard me say it" i recalled him bringing up the conversation saying he had heard me say i love him. My face was turning red. I really did love him but did he feel the same way. I brushed my finger through his hair repeatedly and slowly went in for a kiss. "No" is said in a hushed tone. This was not a fairy tale. If i kissed him he would not wake up. I got up from my kneeling position and picked up a fury jacket from the center table in the living room and went out for a walk.

I stood in front of the apartment staring at the night sky then at the vehicles moving to and fro, the sound of whistles and voices of people taking walks as they converse. I put both hands in my jacket and started walking. There was a restaurant that usually served wine close by so i decided i might as well use the walk as an opportunity to head there. After a few minutes i arrived at the restaurant. I took a seat on one of the free tables that was set up outside. I pulled out my phone from my jacket about to put on my earplugs. "Would you like anything miss?" A waiter came to take my order. "Sure a glass of wine wouldn't be bad i said. The waiter bowed his head and walked away. I was about to put on my earplugs when i was interrupted by someone again. "Hi, is this seat taken?" I looked up and it was a man in a trench coat. He wore glasses and looked like he was in his 30's. I shook my head and the guy sat down. "So you here alone or are you waiting for someone?" The man asked. I didn't answer but rather i ignored him this time, successfully wearing my earplugs. After a while the waiter dropped of the glass of wine and walked away towards another table to attend to other customers. Moments later, the man who had come to join me at my table was speaking on the phone. I don't know if it was me but i felt he was trying hard so I couldn't hear his conversation.

(Don)

I was still trying to grasp the situation when the dark figure told me Amy was in danger. "Your girlfriend is in danger, its only a matter if time before she gets involved in all of this"

"All of what?" I asked now curious to understand what he meant.

"Thats a conversation for when next we meet". The dark figure placed a finger on my forehead and immediately i saw myself on the couch in the living room.

"Amy!" I called out her name but there wasn't a response.

"She's at the restaurant just a couple of blocks away". I looked around wondering who spoke.

"It's me your demon"

"How'd you do that?" I asked startled. "I'm part of you" he replied.

Immediately i ran out of the apartment and rushed to the restaurant. As i turned at the last bend, i could see a man in a trench coat grabbing Amy by the neck against the wall and her legs swinging in the air. "Amy!" I shouted with all my might as i ran towards her. Suddenly men from nowhere appeared pressing me against the floor. "Relax boy" the man said turning to look at me still holding Amy up by the throat. He laughed a little, released her and began to walk towards me. After he had covered an amount of distance, he stopped and squatted down. He lifted my chin up and examined my face. "My name is Charlie, a dark general though you might not understand the situation...." he said leaving my face. "....so if you'd just come quietly, the girl won't get hurt....well hurt after now". He stood up and put his hands in his pocket. Amy stood up with the little energy she had and sluggishly walked towards me. Charlie snapped his fingers and one of his henchmen appeared right in front of her punching her to the floor. "You said you wouldn't hurt her!" I exclaimed as tears were rolling down my eyes. "Well i guess i lied". Charlie pulled out a large hammer from thin air. He raised it above Amy about to smash her head in. "Give me control..i can save her", my demon said in my head. "Yes whatever take it as far as Amy will be saved" immediately i could see myself covered in dark flames. The demon had taken control of my body. In a second all the guys that held me down were killed by the flames and i stood up. "What!, What's happening?" Charlie asked moving back. My eyes were red, my left hand was covered with tattoos and my now white hair had tints of black. I pulled out a sword, the one that my demon was holding while i was in the void. It was also covered in dark flames. I did a few hand signs and i became a lot faster. Before i could tell my sword had gone through Charlie turning him into dust. I picked Amy up and disappeared reappearing at her apartment. As i laid her on the bed i could feel my head banging. I could see her eyes open as i passed out on the floor.
