Chapter VI - Finding home [part1]
Written by Tadi
I
stepped of the train as we arrived at central London. I smiled as I breathed in
the familiar smell. I was back and ready for a new life. It’s going to be hard
to find myself and to just find somewhere to live. Nathan held my hand as we
said goodbye to Edith and Jack.
“I have a surprise for you” he whispered in
my ear “close your eyes.” He guided me for what seemed like forever but when we
finally arrived he told me to open my eyes. I slowly did as he asked and before
me appeared a tall, Victorian looking building. I looked sideways at him and
raised my brows. He smiled and offered me his hand.
We
walked inside, there was no elevator to use so we walked up the stairs. As we
walked up I noticed there were no other doors to any other rooms and when we
finally made it to the top there was just one door with the number one on it.
He took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the doors. I stepped in to a big
old fashioned apartment. It was so beautiful and I couldn’t help but stare. He
led me the kitchen and sat me down at the table.
“I thought you could live with me for a
while” he said waiting for my reaction “just until you find anything better”. I
doubt I could find anything that would be better than this but it felt a little
awkward having to live with him. It would be nice to have a place to just hide
from all of this. I saw the pain in his eyes and I pushed the thought away for
later and changed the subject.
“So tell me more about yourself” I said
with a smile.
“There’s not really much to tell” he said
while rummaging through the fridge “I’m a demon as you already know. I was sent
to the orphanage to make sure that filthy old beast stays locked up.”
“Who sent you?” He pulled out a watermelon and
put it on the table he cut two pieces with a knife and handed me one.
“We all have different leaders, depends on
the position” I looked at him and slightly tilted my head in question “look
at it as kind of like a pyramid with Lucifer at the very top. Under him is his
army ran by Mastema and then under them are a bunch of other demons with high
positions. I’m more or less at the bottom, just a demon sent around to do
things and eliminated if necessary. I have to report to Deumos, she commands me.”
“But if Eurynome is a demon then why would
other demons want him locked up?” He ran his hand through his hair as I waited patiently
for an answer.
“Eurynome is not just any ordinary demon,
he was sent by God and even though he was corrupted we believe there’s still a
link between him and heaven. And you see how that would come in handy for
demons.”
“So you wanted to use him to hunt down
angels and kill them?” He sighed and walked over to me.
“I’m not proud of who I am and what I’ve
done but it’s what I’m told to do and if I don’t do it they will torture and
kill me” he said and touched my cheek with his hand “don’t be afraid.” It was
hard to think that he had hurt people and that he would hurt angels just
because he was told to do so. I understand he had to but would he hurt me if he
was told to do so. He pulled me up to him and hugged me tight.
“I would never hurt you. I’ve changed since
I saw you for the first time. Something inside me ignited and all I’ve wanted
to do since is protect you” he said and kissed my cheek. I know I should be
afraid but when he held me I just felt safe and strong and I could feel what he
felt for me. It was weird and I don’t know if it’s true or if I’m just
imagining it but I felt his emotions, I felt his urges and combined with mine
they were overwhelming. I looked him at him and leaned up closer to him. I put
my hands around his neck and pulled him down closer. I could feel his warm
breath on me and it sent shivers through my spine. He moved his hands on my
back and pulled me closer to him. We were staring in to each other’s eyes and
he leaned down so our noses touched. I closed my eyes and waited but he did
nothing. I opened my eyes and saw that he had leaned away from me and looked at
me unsure. I pulled him back down by his shirt and this time he didn’t stop. He
pressed his lips against mine and a warm feeling literally exploded inside of
me. I moaned and opened my mouth which made him hold me tighter and kiss me
harder. He lifted me up and carried me up the stairs to his bedroom. I didn’t
have time to look around when he threw me on the bed and leaned over me. I
lifted his shirt and he helped taking it off. The constant pain in my stomach I
felt when he wasn’t close was gone and a warm buzzing feeling replaced it. He
ripped of my t-shirt and I chuckled at how impatient he was. I pulled him down
and kissed him. I moved my hands down to his jeans to find his zipped but just
when I was about to unzip it he stopped me and pushed himself away. He sat on
the edge of the bed and looked away from me.
“What is it? Did I do something wrong?” I
asked and my voice shook. Was I that bad? I’ve never kissed a boy in my life, I
didn’t exactly know what I was doing but I never thought I’d be so bad he’d
have to stop kissing me.
“It’s
not you” he laughed “I don’t want to hurt you.” He turned around and looked at
me. “I’m stronger than you think. I could crush you in a second if I let myself
go and I can’t do that.” I looked at him and frowned. So we can never kiss because
he was too strong and too weak to control himself at the same time?
“Oh we can kiss” he said with a wicked
look in his eyes and pulled me to him. He kissed me differently this time,
slower and harder. He stopped and kissed my cheek before leaning away. His jaw
tensed as he stood up and walked through the door slamming it behind him.
