My name is Asher Brown, I live in Madrid City. My life is pretty normal, aside from the incident that happened when I was 6 years old. Well it wasn't really an incident, but it was very strange to me. My Best Friend Haruka tried to kiss me on the lips but I pushed her away. She was saying some weird shit I didn't understand, Like "Let me kiss you and end your life." and "You'll thank me in the afterlife." but I was 6 years old and thought she was just joking around.
Now I am 17 and me and her got over the "Incident" we haven't brought it up at all, most likely because it was just a joke or maybe because she had thought I forgotten and didn't want me to remember.
I looked in the mirror as I straightened my tie and adjusted my collar, my black hair was a little frizzy but I didn't mind. Today was our school ceremony, Students don't have to go if they don't want to and can just wait for the first day of school but my Mom is forcing me to go. Cause she think it'll "prepare me for the year" but that's just a load of crap.
I mean like What kid wants to sit in a room full of other kids for 2 hours! Not this kid! Once I finished making sure my appearance was presentable I walked out the bathroom and walked down the stairs. All my pride quickly left my body, my Mom was standing at the bottom of the stairs with a camera in her hand, along with all her friends and sadly for me they were all girls and apparently my biggest fans. They all screamed like a bunch of fan girls when they saw me in my school uniform. When I reached the bottom of the steps, they started drowning me in all sorts of questions and were yelling random things. My head started pounding and my patience was fading quickly.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, the whole house became silent and I grabbed my bag as they all stared at me "I'm going now." I stated, I walked out the door and slammed it behind me, probably leaving my Mom and her friends in shock. She knows I hate pictures.
I made my way towards the school and took out my phone to call Haruka. But it went straight to voicemail, "That's weird, she always answers my calls." I tried calling her again but it still went to voicemail.
Just then I heard some screaming and shouting and saw a group of people surrounding something, some of them were in the same school uniform as me. I quickly walked over to them to see what was going on, once I got closer, I could make out what some people were saying.
"What are those things on her head!"
"They look like horns!"
"She has wings!"
"She's a demon!"
I pushed some people out the way and forced my way through the crowd, and there laying on the ground, was Haruka. There was blood seeping through her shirt, and she had 2 horns on her head and wings. I could tell she was still breathing, I sat by her body and people gasped in shock "Haruka! HARUKA! Can you hear me!" her eyes opened slowly and I grabbed her hand, "Haruka....what's going on?" She smiled weakly and coughed up a little blood "Ash...You.....should've.....let.....me kiss.....you...." her breathing stopped and her hand fell out mine.
What? What is she talking about? What does a kiss have to do with what's happening now?
Her body turned to dust and I felt tears start to fall down my cheeks, "W-What the hell is going on!!!!" the crowd of people who were around me walked away, they walked away as if nothing happened.....did she make them forget?
I noticed a man staring at me with creepy looking eyes and there was a blade in his hands. He started walking towards me, I tried to move but my body wouldn't respond, I was still trying to process everything that was happening. He was just inches away from me and my body still wouldn't move. Damn it! Is he gonna stab me!? And my question was soon answered, when he pinned me to the ground. I looked around hoping someone was coming to help but the streets were completely empty.
He was about to plunge the knife into my chest when a hand came out his stomach and blood poured onto my uniform. His body fell on top of me and a boy, who looked my age licked his hand, which was covered in blood. Did he do this! He looked at me in disgust "Damn human, don't you know how to run!?" he shouted. I finally found my voice and the strength to move "Yes I do! And what the hell are you!? No human could do something like that!" I asked as I pushed the dead man's body off of me and stood up.
"That's because I'm not a human dumbass. I'm a demon, just like Haruka." I looked at the boy in front of me, he was muscular and was only wearing some shorts. He had red hair, pale skin and red eyes, but he didn't have wings or horns. "Where are your wings and horns?" I asked, he scoffed and grabbed my arm, yanking me towards him.
"Save the questions for later, you're coming with me." he punched me in the stomach and everything around me went black.
A Demon huh......Haruka.....What did I get myself into?...Or more like, what did YOU get me into?
