Demona ran along with a Male Gargoyle who hold an egg. The two of them ran in the forest, hoping to hide. The hunters were right behind them. Demona couldn't glide up if she wanted too. They managed to get her wings. They hid behind a large tree. The male Gargoyle pull her close, wrap his wings around her and the egg. He heard the hunters running afar from them. He sigh in relief.
"Are you all right my love?" He ask her.
"Your a fool Rainn! I told you to leave me!" She hissed.
"Nonsense, How can I leave the mother of our child behind. The love of my life." He smile at her, showing off his fangs. Demona look at the egg and sigh happily to know that it's alright.
"We can't stay here for long. We must leave before they find us!" She suggested it.
"Go? In your condition? We won't be able to make it far, the sun will rise soon!"
"Then let us fight them! Blood for blood!" She told him. Rainn cup her cheeks together. He place his forehead next to her's. Demona blush a little as she looks at him. He smile at her calmly with soft gentle blue eyes.
"Stay with our egg. I'll drive them off. When they're far away. Run to our meeting place."
"That's suicide!" She protest.
"Anything for you my starlight. We have an egg to think about." He touch the eggshell gently, he can feel the heartbeat next to his hand.
Rainn! Don't be stupid!" She growl at him. Before she could say anything else he right away kiss her.
"I love you." He said. He ran out to the opening, howling at the hunters. They heard him, they chase after Rainn. Demona quickly ran away to the other direction. She hold her egg tightly. She thought she was safe. She thought she can live in peace but as always, the humans took everything for her. They destroyed everything she love. Rainn howl harshly in the forest. Demona stop herself. She knew Rainn is in trouble. They must have caught him. Demona have no idea what to do. She look at her egg and kiss it.
"I'll be back with your father." She told it. She wrap it around with a cloth she had. She gently place it down where Poppy flowers bloom. She ran back to her mate. Demona couldn't glide but she can still fight them off.
Rainn growl as the hunters have him tied up by arms and legs. He growl visoulsy at them. One of them is a old man. He took his mask off to show the beast his face.
"Where is the female?" He yelled at Rainn.
"Far away from here. I'm guessing." He smirks at him.
The man slap him across the face.
"Where is your nest! You filthy monster!"
Rainn spat the blood on the ground. He look at the man and smile, "I would never tell you. I'll die to keep my family safe." He said.
"Then so be it." The man smirk. He look up the sky. Rainn can also feel it. The sun was about to rise up. He knew what this mean. He can feel it. The sun was going to rise soon. Rainn inhale and exhale, he smile happily to himself.
"Till the next life, starlight." He said. The sun rises up. Rainn turn into stone. The man hold up a club. He smash it to Rainn. The weapon crumble him to rumble.
The night fall once more, Demona broke out of her sleep. Her wings were heal. She ran through the woods to look for Rainn. She glide up in the sky where she saw a small area. She glide down to find ropes. She saw the pile of rumble on the ground. She shook her head no. She hold the rumble up and yelled. Her tears flow down from her face as she hold her lover's stone. As she fell to despair, she ran back to her egg.
Out in the open, a Amish man was looking out for some firewood. The night still young but he needed wood for him and his wife. What he didn't expect was a baby's cry. He rush towards it, looking around where the baby might be. He was in a field of Poppy flowers. The cry grew closer as he walk. When he look down he saw a rag and some eggshells crack around. He move the cover and gasp. The baby have bat wings on its back. Talons for feet. Claws for hands. It have small devil horns coming out of its head and a tail. Skin black then the sky and red hair, sign of a devil. The amish man took out it's ax, ready to kill the baby. As he hold it about the child. What he didn't expect for the baby to do was look at him with her blue eyes. He saw how beautifully it shines up at him as the moon glow down on the child. The man see that her black rock like skin where like a thousand stars. It was as if she was the Galaxy herself. The amish man soon lower his weapon down but he shook his head, still determined to kill the monster like child.
"I well not have you taint me demon." He said. The child look at him and coo at him as if waiting to be pick up. He couldn't do it. He couldn't bring himself to kill a child. Demon or not. It was still a baby. The man sigh at himself. He drop his weapon and kneel next to it. He sigh heavily as he regrets it.
"How can you smile at me like that." He ask her. "I was going to kill you." He look at her blue eyes. "Yeh know, I had lost my child nine years ago, when she was three days old. The wife and I have try again. But nothing. We wonder if God is punishing us for it. But seeing you." He gently holds the baby up. Carefully hold her head, "Could it be, that God have answer our prayers? Could you be perhaps an angel?" He ask the baby. He look at the baby in shock to see her holding a tight grip on his finger. He could have sworn he saw the child smile. "Let's go home, Poppy. Ma would be worried about us." He told her.
