It was dark. They had taken the courtesy of turning the lights off, making sure it was pitch black, nothing was visible. She gave her eyes some time to adjust to the darkness and even still, she couldn’t make out anything. She tried to bring up her picture memory from when she was a child: she had spent a lot of time in this basement as a kid and it was not for the right reasons. As usual, it was their way of getting rid of her when they were annoyed. If she ever did anything remotely wrong or something they disapproved of, she would go straight to the basement.After a while, she had learned how to survive. The best way not to annoy them was to completely avoid them. If she entered home late, she would come through the back door and same with going out when they were awake. It worked fine for her for a really long time, since they couldn’t see her it was almost as if they had forgotten about her and were busy with their own shenanigans which included god knows what. They weren’t norm

“Shedim!” She was taken aback to see him in this place. How did he even know where she was? Unless.. could it be that he was the one who opened the door for her? The thought crossed her mind, though she was doubtful considering that he met her here instead of at the church. Nevertheless, she was happy to see him. She ran to him and jumped.With widened eyes he lagged in his reaction for just a second before he grabbed on to her waist, letting her wrap her legs around him. He was still baffled at this reaction of hers. He had expected an annoyed look and perhaps a few cuss words. He was waiting for her to tell him to leave her alone again.In fact, after what had happened, Shedim was beyond angry. He was busy conjuring up ways to torture her for how she treated him. A lowlife telling him to get out? He couldn’t bear with it.Despite the harsh feelings of resentment that had drove up inside him, he couldn’t help but get a strange sense of anxiety. A certain calling that was similar to t

She decided to tell him what happened. She left out the part about her past because she assumed it was unnecessary. She started with getting caught by her parents and them needing money. When she refused they had locked her up. She continued to tell him about finding the girl in the basement and despite the fact she was tortured, she did seem like she was fed and given water considering the energy she had to walk around and go on the slide."I understand if that's a little hard to believe" She bit her lip. What must he be thinking of her? He cocked his head to the side- knowing how shitty humans were from experience, there was no way he wouldn't believe a story about a human doing shitty things. In fact, if someone told him that humans created a special device to annihilate demons and angels from the face of the earth along with every other multiverse that existed. He wouldn't be surprised at all. There was nothing that humans were incapable of physically doing. The world was their

It was now Enkeli’s turn to put up a smug face with a grin that made Shedim question whether she was actually a female or simply a replica from a horror movie. He enjoyed it though. He was used to people acting a certain way- they were either scared of him or they respected him and did anything to gain his favor. It was refreshing in a way, having a real element to the story for once.“Are you really the king of hell?” Enkeli’s voice was lower this time, more concerned. The concern in her voice seemed to get on his nerves. What did she think he was going to do? The only difference between him and the other demons was that he was the most powerful.“Yes.”“That’s awesome.” Her eyes sparkled.“What?” He furrowed his eyebrows and retracted his face questionably. Every time he thought he had her figured out, it turns out he was wrong. Why couldn’t he judge this girl right? Why couldn’t he see through her completely like he could do to all the other humans. It bugged him to no end.“But if

“You shouldn’t have done that. I may not have known about your feelings but you knew about hers and you chose to kiss me in the middle of class where she could easily see. Why would you do that? I don’t understand.”“Because you keep slipping away from me. First that white haired Agares guy and then that Red haired guy. The way you slept on his shoulder. Be honest, is something going on between you two? How do you know him? It seemed like you knew him from before he joined the school.”She opened her mouth to speak and then just as quickly closed it. There wasn’t a chance that she could tell him the truth. What could she possibly say?‘Can’t you see I’m just trying to protect you as well as our friendship by not telling you anything.’ She groaned in frustration. The past few days were a complete mess for her and it just seemed to keep getting worse and worse. She wondered if it was possibly for things to become even more complicated.“N-No, of course not. I mean, it’s complicated. I’m
