The door opened and someone walked in, it was Alexander's roommate. He was a demon, naked and bald like every other demon. He looked at Alexander, something flashed in his eyes. He didn't waste another second before he walked to his bed and cried.
Alexander looked at the demon with puzzled eyes, the demon kept on crying not caring that a alien was sitting beside him. Alexander found it strange, and decided to ask.
"What's wrong"
The demon kept on crying too himself, he didn't want to open up to a stranger. Preferably the demon beside him did not want to cry at all but when the pressure mounted up far enough he could do very little.
The reason the demon was crying was because he had a tough time making friends, a incredibly tough time actually. The school had started and a few weeks had passed and he had not made a friend yet.
Today he was getting picked on by stronger and more popular peers. A demons cruelty was ten if not twenty times worse than that of a human, there picking had became physical real quick.
Alexander's roommate had gotten beat up, thrown against walls and simply toyed with. The worst part wasn't that though, the worst part for Alexander's roommate was that he hadn't stood up for himself. He had insulted himself, called himself weak and stupid all the way back to his dorm.
When he entered the room he had dropped the charade which he had been carrying to protect himself, that was why the demon was crying on the bed. He had been crying all day but simply chose to hide it.
Ironically his dorm wasn't what you'd call private. Anyone could enter it and there was a stranger laying on his bed already. Still though, it felt more private then it did outside.
The demon kept on crying and didn't give Alexandre any response. After some time, Alexander ears blurred out the sound of crying and returned
Alexander laid down on his wooden bed and simply thought about his scenario. ''am I in a dream", Alexander took his right hand and pinched his left hand. He felt some pain, it was a strange sensation.
He had gone through pain for a completely different level for such a long time now that the pain he felt was toddler-like. The pain was still there, the instincts making it tougher to continue or the ones that would make him scream had gotten deafened.
"Well it's certainly not a dream. How did I get into this spot. I did a test, I fell down, then I somehow survived due to the spirit I caught having some special powers. Now I am in another magical school, which is made by demons."
"Yes sub-human, is there anything special about it" The salamanders voice spoke back to him inside of his mind.
Alexander was startled for a short moment, he forgot that there was another being living inside of him completely. Usually the salamander would be silent, actually, it would be tough to reach the salamander. it was rare for it to participate in any sort of thought.
"Well it's strange"
"What's strange"
"I am a human, inside of a magical school made for demons"
"That's far worse than strange, stupid, it's crazy. It has never happened before"
"Mind me asking why?"
"If you do not realise the answer to your question, then my explanation will be useless, you are a sub-lifeform afterall"
"What do you mean"
Alexander heard nothing after that, there was simply a silence and nothing else. Alexander stared towards the stone ceiling and sighed. He didn't have much to do so he went back into the salamanders hall and kept on trying to acquire a new skill.
Alexander got kicked out of the hall after another fail, he had gotten sleepy now and wasn't in a mood to try again. The demon to his side had already fallen asleep. It was a strange experience for Alexander since usually he'd sleep when it became night but since the light emanates from lava night would never come.
He had to decide himself when he would fall asleep.
He put his head against the bed and was about to doze off but then he heard steps outside of the door. This peaked his interest which made his drowsiness slowly decrease.
The door slid open silently and Alexander's eyes met three demons who were tiptoeing into the room. The demons eyes met Alexanders and they froze.
Both sides were confused, Alexander because he had not expected three demons to enter his room just as he was about to fall asleep and the three demons because they did not expect a human to be in this room.
The demons were comprised of a long and skinny demon, a shorter, rounder and more bulky demon and a really short demon which reminded Alexander of a imp. They were all naked, red and hairless. The demons were bearing a torch that had a green light. After the surprise had weared off the longer demon put his hand towards his own throat and slit the air in front of it.
Then the longer demon urged the rest to keep on doing what they were in the process of doing. However, the second the door to the dorm had opened Alexander adrenaline had gone on overdrive. He jumped out of his bed and stood in their path.
It was quite clear that he wasn't their target but either way, they had no business inside of his dorm.
"What are you doing" Alexander said in a loud and clear voice.
"Go kill yourself sub-lifeform" said the longer demon.
This woke up Alexander roommate, the second he saw the three faces he crawled towards the corner of his bed and went into a fetal position shivering.
Alexander was standing in a fighting position with his fire hands out. The demons didn't get into a fighting stance, instead their grins rose as they recognised what Alexander was trying.
Then, Alexander felt a similar feeling he had felt before in his neck. It was a large bulge which climbed out of his neck, it stretched Alexanders jaw and exited.
Out jumped the yellow salamander with black dots on it. The salamander spoke up.
"Proud demons, I am Albuzath . The son of the king..."
Before the salamander had finished his sentence, the longer one stepped in and stepped on the salamander squashing it. It was only the size of a lizard. The bulkier demon stepped forward toward Alexander, Alexander lunged at him with his firehands and put them on his skin.
The bulkier demons stood still as his grin grew wide. The fire didn't seem to impact him in any way. Alexander took back his hand and swung it at his face.
His face didn't bulge at all, it was completely still. The demon grabbed Alexander's arm and flung him towards the wall.
Thump!
Alexander's body crashed against the wall making his vision go dizzy. The three demons didn't pay him anymore attention as they made their way towards their main goal. Alexander's roommate was still in a fetal position towards the corner of his bed.
The demons walked towards him, two of them restrained him whilst the third one brought the torch towards his face. The demon screamed in anticipation as the torch got closer towards his face.
Then the scream made a qualitative difference as the scream turned into a scream of pain. The torch was melting his face, Alexander could see his entire face being melted. After 30 seconds the 3 demons decided to stop when Alexander's roommate passed out.
"Fucking disgusting inbred"
Then the long demons eyes turned to Alexander.
Alexander quickly realised what they were about to do. His increased adrenaline put his body into full focus mode as he rose up into a standing position and ran out of the room. The three demons followed after him.
