Chereads / Benevolent Demon : Hiatus! / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Shattered Mirror

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Shattered Mirror

6 months have passed since the birth of Sirus.

We find himself tucked away in bed, snoozing like the baby he is.

'Hraarrrhhhhh, damn that was the best sleep I have had in years.' Sirus yawns with a loudmouth.

'I'm already getting used to living here, though it is weird. the first few months trying to get used to calling these two named Sarah and Ethan my parent's, but nevertheless, I'm enjoying the life.

All I do all day is sleep, eat and repeat. Hmm? For a Demon I didn't ever think they would look exactly like Humans.

I mean, apart from every other demon I have seen they all have red eyes and instead of fingernails they have claws but different from those of an animal like a dog or a wolf.

it's kind of like in between you know.

I also noticed they have horns as well and their teeth are razor-sharp.

Humans have canines those two front teeth like the how vampires have, but Demons are way longer and sharper.

So long that there are holes are just for the teeth to fit in to like for cats and dogs, their mouths have small holes in their mouth to fit the sharp teeth.

Let's not forget about the horns on top of the Demons heads as well.

Something I find quite freaky…

Why do Demons blink sideways?

Honestly, I was expecting tall black bodies with a tail.

But you know, they all look peaceful human beings, of course apart from their appearance.

Might as well live this peaceful life it's only been a few days and it seems Demons grow faster than humans do.

I can already hear and see better.'

Two Demons walk through the door with an awe look.

"Ethan, I keep telling you I'm scared and worried sick.

I keep having these nightmares of our village being burnt down by Holy Knights and slaughtering our people and torturing us, and-and!"

"I know Sasha, you told me like a thousand times, but am sure it's just a dream."

Ethan pauses for a moment before he continues.

"I'm sure it won't come true, we haven't told anyone about our child so there's no way for the Holy Knights to tell that we have a Noble son in our poor village.

Just calm down dear, have some water." Ethan goes to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

Sasha receives the glass of water and pauses for a couple of moments before talking again.

"I'm, sorry dear." she says with tears flowing does her gentle light-red eyes.

"It hurts to see my son being taken away from us and the whole village is on fire.

It looks too real for a dream, but I will calm down, I will try." she frowns and looks down holding her hands against her chest.

"Sasha, please don't be upset you know what it does to me when I see your gentle tears flowing done."

"I-I'm sorry."

"Besides I'm sure the Holy Knight won't come to our poor village, at least I hope so anyway.

Have you noticed our son is growing horns already and his fangs are sharper than ours?" He says as he remembers accidentally poke his finger into Sirus fangs, cutting his finger.

"Hahaha…. Yeah, looks at his cute fangs and horns it's so adorable, my baby boy is going to be a fine Demon one day." she smiles gracefully at Sirus.

"Hon, It's time I leave for work, I'm going to plough the fields, I will be back in time for dinner!" He says as he picks up his tool before heading outside.

"Okay, dear be safe, I love you!"

Sasha leaves the room and heads to the kitchen.

'Guess dad going to work and mom going to cook.'

A few weeks pass by and we see a small child attempting to do something.

'Huff, Huff, I almost got it.

Yes, finally I'm getting used to walking with these strange legs I have!' Sirus says as he puts up his fists in the air before falling down.

[Thump]

'Ow, I'm sure mom is going to be proud of me, but I can't reach the door handle to show mom that I can walk.

Is there a mirror around here?

I want to check my teeth and these horns of mine.' Sirus looks around the room until noticing a small mirror high on the shelf that is in his small room.

'There's one on the shelf. Hmm, it's too high maybe I can throw something and catch it.'

Sirus once again looks around his small room to see anything he can throw with his small hands.

He notices a toy ball in the corner of the room.

'This should do, it's not like a plastic ball, actually, I'm not sure what it's made out of but at least there's weight in this ball.

'Not sure how well I can throw it with my baby hands but I'll get it a shot.' Sirus carefully looks at the mirror on the very top shelf, he takes a few steps backwards to make sure he can see it clearly.

He gets ready to throw the ball and.

[Swoosh]

[Crunch]

[Ting]

[Crunch]

Sirus stumbles back when he threw the ball and falls down, watching the small glass mirror falling down.

'Shit! I broke it, hopefully mom didn't hear it!' Sirus looks down with a frown before looking back up and seeing a relatively big piece of glass.

'Seems my luck isn't out of the window just yet! As he smiles like an idiot.

'Now, let me see these horns and fangs! Wow, damn, look at me and my horns and fangs!

From the looks of it, it's growing towards the back of my skull, but it's still small so I'm not sure how it will look when it's fully grown. Hmm, I wonder how old I am I know a few months passed by but oh well, who cares for now.'

As Sirus continues to look at himself he hears heavy footsteps rushing towards his room.

[Bang]

"Oh, dear, look what you did, you scared me half to death!

I thought you got hurt, but it seems that you are unscathed thank goodness." She picks up Sirus and looks down seeing the mess that he caused.

"You made a mess Sirus, Oh well, it doesn't matter as long you're safe." She kissed Sirus on the forehead before putting him down on his bed and cleaning the shattered mirror.

After Sasha finished cleaning she picked up Sirus and went to the kitchen to have dinner.
