Roxanne woke the next day to see Alex hovering over her bed "what do you want Alex, I'm tryna sleep here" she rolled over on to her side with a groan "well one, you're late for school-" "WHAT!?" Roxanne dashed out of her bed and to her dressers "well now that was just plain rude, do you know how hard it is to be polite to you humans" "NOT NOW ALEX, TRYING TO GET DRESSED HERE BUD!!" Roxanne shouted before grabbing arms full of clothes and rushing to her bathroom "Two, that mason kid has been acting really weird" "really, i mean he's a weird guy but what do you mean" "I smell anger within a dark pit of obsession" "that was dark even for you" "well its the truth, that kid seems very determined about something, and I dont like it" "since when have you liked anything?" she grunted as she threw on a shirt that smelt of vanilla and B.O "Im serious Roxanne, that kid is fucked in the head about something" "he's a teenage boy, probably about girls or something, he'll get over it" she opened the bathroom door with a somewhat fresh pair of clothes on "hand me my perfume" Alex threw the small bottle at her of french lavender.
"Alex trust me, whatever he is going un poco loco about, it will pass over, he just needs to stay away from this little bitch and everything will go back to normal" "I hope your right, Roxanne," "Alex I'm always right and I'm your best friend, its my job to care about how you feel, that what friends do" she smiled brightly which made Alex smile back, she placed her small human hand on his large demonic shoulder, he placed his large monster claw on top her fleshy hand "now come on, we got to get to school" she let go of his shoulder and grabbed her backpack before climbing out the window and into the streets.
Alex and Roxanne have been best friends since Roxanne's second-grade year...
young Roxanne was venturing through the woods in her back yard after a long argument with her brother, upset and alone, she sat underneath the great peach tree and watched his flowers slowly drop from the thick branches and into her hands and hair, she giggled at the sight of what was heavenly rains drop all over her, she plucked one of the fuzzy fruits and bit into it, her smile glowed at the sweetness of the fruit until then she heard a shriek, she dropped her bitten peach and dashed towards the shriek, she was scared and worried for the person who may be in terrible trouble until she saw a man who was burnt red with large massive horns, in fact, the man was larger than any other man she had ever come face to face with, she looked down at the ground and saw that his hoof was caught on a bear trap, a terrifyingly large one, she walked closer to the insanely large man "im going to get you out of here, okay"
the man was confused "wait, you can see me?" "wait, your dead?" the two looked at each other as if seeing if the other was lying or joking "anyway I'm going to get you out of this" "forget about me human, get out of here, leave me to die" "well that would be just plain rude and cruel, you need help and I'm going to help you" Roxanne pried at the bear trap, trying her best to undo its grasp on the monsters foot but no luck "kid, if I can't open this trap then I'm pretty sure you won't be able to" "I'm still going to try" She struggled with the trap, she strained but still tried, the Demon chuckled "god your such a stubborn prick aren't you" "I wouldn't say stubborn, more like very determined" the demon chuckled, his chuckles soon ended as he heard footsteps drawing near "kid, I appreciate you trying to help me, but you really have to get out of here" "not until i get this thing off you" voices were growing near to the site so without hesitation, the demon picked up the girl and threw her into the bushes to hide "stay there," he said before morphing into a black wolf with extermly large fangs. Two southern men came to the sight with their guns ready, one was large with a small mustache and a breathable hat while the other was slim with a cigarette hanging off his lip "look at that beauty" said the larger one "probably be worth a fortune" "I doubt it, the trap has done pierced the mutts coat" "naw, we can just have stitch it together" The two talked about what they were going to do with the demon while Roxanne who was still in the bush, slowly pulled out her slingshot, she lightly dug at the dirt and slowly lifted two small pebbles, she slowly pulled her weapon back and aimed. The demon was whimpering "aw shucks man, can you just kill the damn thing already, its starting to make me feel bad" the slim one spoke "you are such a wimp, be a man and you kill it" "I ain't ferna kill it" "you better fucking do it or I'll tell ma" "fine , whatever I'll do it" the skinny one prepared his rifle and aimed it at the wolf, the wolf looked helplessly around, searching for help.
Roxanne released and shot the slim on in the eye, she screamed in pain as the rock now took place of his eye, blood splattered onto the other brother who screamed horrified, Roxanne came out of the bush, rushing back to save the demon, the larger male tried to grab at her only to have his hand bit by the demon, he screamed as he could feel bones break on his wrist "YOU LITTLE BITCH!!" he shouted as he used his one good arm to throw a rock at her which hit her in the head, she squeaked in pain but still continued to loosen the trap, with one final pull the trap came loose and he demon quickly pulled his foot out, Roxanne stood up smiling "GO GET OUT OF HERE!!!" she shouted before being grabbed by the larger male "YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU BRAT!!" he then threw her at the nearest tree causing her to scream, her head was now really bleeding but she still stood up, wiping the blood off cheek, the man rushed at her but what he didnt know was that she had a rock in her hand which she threw at the mans eye, he screamed but at leaset is was still there, the other man had grabbed her from the back and pinned her to the ground, his eye was completely gone with nothing but blood coming from its hole
" I DONT CARE HOW TOUGH YOU THINK YOU ARE, IM GOING TO GET WHAT I WANT, EVEN IF THAT MEANS KILLING YOU!!!" the man took out a large hunters knife and brought it to the air, Roxanne stared at the blade with fear, her eyes dilating, the man laughed at her fear "OH LOOK WHOS SCARED NOW, YOUR JUST A SMALL, LITTLE BITCH!!!" The man was bout to strike until a hand had caught his blade "I dOnT tHiNk YoU sHoUlD dO tHaT" the man slowly turned his head to face a beast, monster?...no, the devil... he saw that his brother was more than dead, mutilated, eaten with only his arm hanging out of the demon's mouth, it slurped the arm down as if it were a noodle, his blood froze with fear as the demon's grip tighten "YoU aRe To LeAvE aNd NeVeR rEtUrN, uNdErStOoD!!!" The man wriggled and screamed as the demon let go, then dashed off into the wilderness, the demon chuckled before taking a large branch and morphing it into a trident, then throwing it at the man, the man screamed at the trident pierced through his back and pinned him to a tree, the pain was unbearable, he couldn't even scream, his heart was pounding in his chest, the demon walked over to the human and pulled the trident out from within his back, the man fell and moaned in pain, the Demon then picked up the man by his back and slowly ripped his spine out, his scream's echoed in the woods, crows cawed at the gore that had befallen the man, then slowly the demon began to tear at the mans arm and devouring it "PLEASE, HAVE MERCY!!!" "THERE IS NO MERCY FOR YOUR DAMNED SOUL MORTAL, YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE BEFORE HARMING A CHILD, NOT EVEN A CHILD, A SAINT!!" the demon then roared before biting off the mans head the devouring his entire body, young Roxanne watched the demon kill two men, the men who had hurt her, the men who had hurt him, she walked over to the creature, her small shoes hitting the ground lightly after all the loud screaming, blood continued to drip from her forehead, the demon looked back at her, the small child who was bleeding, bruised, almost broken was staring at him "thank you for setting me free," he said to her before starting to walk away "wait..." she said to him, the demon looked back at her "yes?" he bent down to her level "why did you do it..." "do what?" "kill those men, why not leave me for dead..." the demon was concerned "do people do that to you" "they all do, that why I have the scars I have now" she pointed to a scar under her eye where blood continued to drip at "are you alone..." "yeah...i am..." the two stared at each other, the wind blew in the girls hair as she continued to stare at him with a straight face, the demon rubbed his horns and sighed "I'll cut you a deal kid" Roxanne moved closer "since you saved me from death, I will be your friend to the very end..." Roxanne smiled "but... you must never tell anyone about this, if you do...i will kill you" Roxanne's smile stained her face "and what if i want to die..." "no one ever truly really wants to die, we all fear death even when we say we don't" "how do i know you won't leave" "cause im a demon of my word and plus, you don't know how much power you have, just having me around, you can basically take over the world" "why take over something that's already dead" "because you can see the dead, you have the advantage, you and me combined, means a living hell to everyone," he said wiping the blood off her cheek "the name's morselak" "Roxanne, im just going to call you Alex cause I don't speak Russian" "it's not Russian" "sounds Russian" Roxanne held the demon's hand and walked back home with her new forever best friend... friends with the devil
