Angel's and Demon's

"You're sure you're okay?" Liam asks for the hundredth time.

"Yes Liam. Go to bed." I order.

"Maybe I should sleep on the floor in here tonight. Just to keep an eye on you." He offers.

"Liam. Bed. Now." I demand, pointing to the door. He's always been the one to worry. I don't understand why.

"Fine." He says hesitantly. He makes his way to the door.

"Maybe-" He starts to protest.

"Go." I state.

"Okay. Goodnight Ash. Yell if you need anything. Or just bang on the wall." He says.

"Goodnight Liam." I say as he walks to his room next door.

I roll onto my side and close my eyes. I start to fall into a slumber until I feel something on my neck. Actually it's someone, breathing down my neck. My eyes fly open and I slowly roll over.
A hand over my mouth keeps me from screaming. I see the man's figure laying in my bed only a couple inches from me. When he knows I won't scream he takes his hand from my mouth.

"W-Who are you?" I ask.

"That's not the question you really want to ask, is it, love?" He states as if he's reading my mind.

Wait, is he reading my mind? No he can't. That's impossible. But I also thought invisible forces weren't real either. And I thought a flick of a finger couldn't open garages neither. I guess I'm wrong on a lot of things.

"So ask the million dollar question." He says.

"What are you?" I ask, hesitantly.

If my theory about me being wrong a lot is correct, that means this-man thing-is evil. Because I don't think he is but I've been wrong a lot lately. Okay, I just confused myself majorly.

"Bingo." He says smirking.

Wait, can he read minds?

"Yes. I can." He answers my internal thoughts.

"Wait, so you're not good? Or you are?" I ask, confused.

"No. I'm not. Consider me, your worst nightmare come to life." He says, smirking.

"Then why have you saved me twice in one night?" I ask, more confused.

"Because, it's no fun if your dead." He says.

"W-What do you want?" I ask, cautiously.

"What every demon wants." He says.

"Your soul." He smirks evily. So he's a demon? No way. Demons aren't real.

"Why do you want my soul?" I ask.

"Because, yours is special. It's so-pure. It would get me a lot more benefits than I have." He says.

Pure soul my ass. My soul isn't worth more than a penny. I'd be surprised if I even had one.

"No, no, no. You see, souls like yours are the ones all the demons are looking for. They are real hard to find but even harder to get. You wanna know why they're hard to get?" He urges me to ask.

"W-Why?" I ask. This is all a bunch of bull.

"Because every other demon is looking for you. Hunting you. Once they all know about you it'll be like an apocalypse of the demons. They will kill for your soul. They will kill you." He says, poking the center of my chest.

"Then why don't. you go ahead and kill me. Take my soul for yourself." I say, knowing he won't because its all bullshit.

"Ah, you see, I'm the one for games. I like to tease. I put food under the dogs nose, only to snatch it away. That's just how I roll." He says.

"And what if a demon does get me and kills me." I say.

"Trust me love, nobody will lay a finger on you." He says.

"Looks like they already did once." I remind him of the incident in the garage.

"Yea. Well it won't happen again." He growls.

I don't see his green eyes anymore. Instead, they've been replaced by a menacing black. Like, completely black.

"Y-Your eyes. They're-black. Do they always change?" I ask, examining them.

"That's my more, dominant side. You might not want to piss me off in this state." He warns.

"W-Why? What'll happen?" I ask.

"Just don't piss me off and we won't have a problem." He says, annoyed. Well then.

"Okay. Uhm. What's your name?" I ask. I've been wanting to know it for a while now, I figured this would be an okay time to ask.

"Harry." He says.

"I'm-"

"Ashelynn. Yea, I already know." He says.

"Okay then. Well Harry, tell me more about your world." I say, fascinated.

"What do you wanna know?" He asks, looking at me. At least his eyes changed back to the green colour.

"You say you're a demon, does that mean there's a devil?" I ask curiously.

"Well, we need a leader dont we?" He says.

"So he is real." I state, dazing off.

"Uhm, have you been to hell?" I ask.

"Plenty of times." He states.

"What's it like?" I ask, leaning closer.

"Like hell." He says, stating the obvious.

"Really? Would have never guessed. I mean, what's down there? Fire?" I ask.

"Chambers. Dungeons. Everything you can think of to make someone's afterlife hell. They torture you and leave you there to rot." He says as if he's remembering something.

"What do they do?" I ask, curiously. What can I say? I'm nosy.

"Everything evil you can think of. They have torture weapons. They like to call them their 'toys' but they're anything but a toy. Its not fun down there. When you first get down there you have a choice. You can stay there as they torture you, or you can become like me. Take peoples souls and strip them from their lives. But before you can do that you start out with torturing the souls other demons bring in." He explains as I thoroughly listen.

"So you were alive at one time?" I ask, surprised.

"Yea. I was a normal kid just like you. Actually it was only a couple years ago that I became this." He says.

"H-How?" I ask, cautiously.

"They always told me I was special because I didn't actually die. Actually, I'm not dead. This body is living. But my soul isn't. A demon took my soul into hell. I was in a coma for months. Maybe even years. But a month is like 10 whole years in hell. It felt like forever. They never told me that if I became like this I would get my body back until I agreed. Finally after years, or what felt like years, of torture I gave in. I told them I would take peoples souls and torture them. I became this-this monster." He says, bowing his head in shame.

"You're not a monster. Okay maybe technically you're labeled a monster. But it's just like I'm labeled a human. But I know deep down, you're just as human as I am. You saved my life, twice, in one night. That has to count for something right?" I say. Am I really trying to cheer up a demon? Is that even possible? Do demons have feelings?

"We're not suppose to but I still remember my old life. I remember what it feels like to be happy or sad. That's why when I get mad it gets really bad. All the other demons don't get mad. They just mock what they see on humans. They don't actually get mad. They don't know what it feels like to feel angry. It makes me mad cause they don't know. They act but they don't know what its like." He says.

"Wow. So you remember your old life?" I ask him.

"Some of it. I remember what its like to live. I just don't remember what exactly I lived like. I can't remember my family or friends." He says.

For a second I feel bad for him. He has to live like this every day for who knows how long.

"Don't feel bad for me. I don't like when people pity me." He spits.
He blinks his eyes a few times and shakes his head like he's trying to get rid of something.

"Oh god. I-I need to go." He says, standing up quickly.

"Wait. Harry." I call.

He looks up and his eyes are completely black again.

"H-Harry?" I ask, cautiously.

"Sorry sweet cheeks. Harrys not in at the moment." He smirks evily. That's not the same Harry that saved my life. That's not the Harry that has feelings.

"You're right there. But he's in here somewhere and he'll be watching as I rip you apart piece by piece. Limb by limb. He'll hear your cries for help but he won't be able to." He says, walking closer to me. I get up and start walking backwards.

"W-Who are you?" I stutter, scared of the answer.

"I'm the demon everyone talks about. I'm the one on heavens headlines everyday. You know, heaven use to be my home. That was until father cast me out." He says, getting closer.

"Y-Your-No it can't be." I say, mostly to myself.

"But it is. I'm the king of all demons. Please, call me Lucifer." He says as I swallow my breath.
