A long time ago, everyone believe in demons. But they never saw one. This year is when there's no modern technology.
"ARYA HONEY!!!"
The little girl turns her head. Her shiny blonde hair flowed because breezes hit her.
"Hello, Mrs, Julie!!" She stood up with a flower crown in her hands.
"Here. This is my cake. Strawberry cake. I bake it for you." The woman hand over the cake. "It for you, honey."
"Wow!! Your new strawberry cake!! Is it your new recipe!?" She asks.
"Yes, honey. Bring it home and eat, okay?" Mrs Julie ruffles her hair.
She nods. Before she walks away, she kisses the old woman's cheek. Her strawberry cake is one of her favourite desserts.
Mrs Julie is her favourite baker. She always gave the girl her new recipe or any dessert to her.
Arya. A 19 years old girl, lives alone in one small house. Her parents passed away due to sickness.
"Chichi!! I bought strawberry cake!!" Arya opens the door. A fluffy cat walks towards her, meowing over her. "But you can't eat it. It is okay. I will eat it for you." She grins.
She sits on the couch with her cat jumping on it also.
"Mmm. This is so delicious." Chichi the cat laid beside her, yawning. This little girl live alone herself and never thought how dangerous is it.
As the cake is half-eaten, she decides to stop. To keep it for her for a midnight snack. Since there's no one in charge of her, she can do anything without knowing whether it is healthy or not.
"Chichi, do you want to join me in wandering the forest?" Arya asks her cat. Instead, she only receives a purring.
"I take that as a no." She giggles, kissing the cat's head before going out.
The wooden door close tightly and locked. She skipped towards the woods. How can a little girl like her be so brave alone in the woods?
"Your highness. Everything is settled already." The man gets to his knees. The King sitting on his throne, chin up. His glowing red eyes can kill many people with just one snap of a finger.
"Good. You are dismissed now." He announced. The man bowed respectfully before walking away.
His brother, Beelzebub steps forward to him. "Are you okay, Lucifer? This lately you seem...frustrated." The king rubbed his forehead.
"I don't know. I feel stressed this lately." Lucifer the king answered.
"Maybe you are too stressed. Go take a break. Find human and kill and whatsoever." He chuckles.
"Don't be so cruel. Even we are demons doesn't mean we can kill the innocent one." Lucifer scolds him a bit as he stood up. Beelzebub just shrugs his shoulder. "I wish I can be Belphegor. Sleep all day."
"What do you expect from him? He's a god of sloth." His brother chuckles.
"Where are the others?" Luci asks.
"Out. Maybe doing work or just playing around I don't know." Beel shrugs his shoulder.
The oldest sighs. "
Mammon gets down to the earth. His black wings make him land so smooth. His yellow eyes looked around the woods. This is the only thing to get away from work.
"This is the only place I run to. Or not, Luci will give me work and work and work." He mumbles to himself.
He walked around scaring the animals with his horror face. There's a river and he standing near it. Breeze hits his face. His almost yellow hair looks smooth.
"Hello, little rabbit."
A soft voice catches his attention. He opens his eyes, looking around.
"Do you want this?" A little girl who's holding a carrot toward one rabbit fills his sight.
"Huh. Human." Mammon mumbles. He standing behind the tree, watching the girl feeding the rabbit.
"I bought a lot for you." She took it out of her bag. Her shiny blonde hair covers her face so he can't see what she looks like.
Suddenly, an idea popped inside Mammon's head. He loved playing with humans. He flies up.
Arya kneeling, feeding the rabbit. She loves wandering the forest to see cute animals. Sometimes, village people told her not to because it is dangerous. But she didn't listen.
Stubborn girl.
The wind becomes strong. She closes her eyes to protect herself from dust. All animals ran for their lives when saw what happened.
Mammon slowly landed in front of the girl with a smirk.
When the wind stops, she slowly opens her eyes. The first thing she saw is legs.
"What are you doing here alone, little girl?" A voice is full of playfulness spokes. Arya slowly lifted her gaze and that's when her doe green eyes met with yellow eyes.
Mammon who saw it almost froze in his place. The green eyes held something in them.
Arya gasp and stepped back from the guy. The wings and horns-- surely he's not a human.
"W--Who are you, mister?" Her sweet voice asked. "What...are you?" She gazed at his wings and horns.
"Humans are really stupid, aren't they?" He sighs. Crossing his arms. "Can't you see this? You can guess what am I." Mammon pointed his horns and wings with annoyance.
Her jaw-dropped. Her eyes are wide open. Mammon who saw it smirks. He waiting for the little humans running for their lives and he will catch them.
Prey and predator.
Instead of that, the little human stepped forward. His eyes slightly widen but manage to cover it up.
"The fairytale story was right." She mumbles more to herself.
"Fairytale story?" He frowns.
"The people in my villagers always telling me stories about the 7 demon brothers!!" She clapped her hands.
What the fuck is wrong with this human? Mammon thought. She supposes to be afraid of them or screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Look at this wing!!" She touches it, rubbing it. The smooth feather makes her snuggle on it.
The demon didn't move. He was more shocked. "And these horns were so cool!!" Her tiny hands tried to reach it but he was so tall. Maybe around 6'5 like that. Compare to her who 4'11.
"Are you a demon!? What demon are you!?" Her green eyes went up and down.
Thank goodness Mammon wearing black clothes without sleeves and skinny ripped jeans. A leather belt around his chest and black boots.
"Are you stupid or what? You should be afraid of me not--You know what? Whatever." Mammon walks away.
The sound of feet behind him gives him a sign that she still following.
"Wait. Where you going!?" She asking.
"Anywhere. Finding people who will afraid of me." Mammon reply.
"I don't know your name!! Even you don't know my name."
He stops walking and turns around. The little girl breathlessly caught his step. "Go home, little girl. I don't want to babysit you or anything. It wasting my time talking to you."
"My name is Arya. And your demon?" She titled her head. This girl will never give up, will she? Mammon thought.
"Well, Arya. How about you go home, go to your mama and forget that you met me in real life. Can you?" Mammon arches his eyebrows.
Saddened rushed inside her body. "Oh. Um...can we be friends instead?".
"No human can be friend with the devil, little girl." His words make the girl hurt a bit. Well, maybe he just needs a little time.
Arya nods her head. Her lips pout a bit. Without any words, she turns around and walks away. With her dress--how can she walk in the woods with the dress?
"Finally. I wandering she's human or not? If human, she should be freak out or something when seeing me." Mammon mumbles before flies up to hell.
The thought of scaring people went away from his mind. Because of that girl, he loses interest.
