RADEMOS

The cafeteria was buzzing with students eating at different tables. A mixture of various food smells filled the air. Everyone was seated with at least one person except Rademos, who was at the far end, alone in the booth. He paid no attention to anyone, not even the girls secretly scheming against him."We'll get it all on camera," Andis added, and two other girls, Temi and Josara, chuckled in agreement.Lora sat quietly by the corner as her predicament became an outlet for the girls to let out their bottled-up insecurities. This was not what she intended when she came confiding in them. She didn't imagine it would go this far.Lora shuddered at her cowardice. Her inability to put a stick to this accelerating wheel. The plan was simple but cruel. Temi would record Andis, the class hottie, seducing Rademos until he's aroused to a point where she ditches him. The video, once it got out, would definitely hurt Rademos' perfect reputation. It sounded like the most promising retribution aga

Sixteen years ago.The year was 1907, December 6th. The wind howled silently as feathery snowflakes fell peacefully on everything they could. An attractive lady dressed in black leather pants and a jacket holding a baby in a golden carrier had just stepped into a road full of approaching speeding cars. A massive screeching sound ensued as several cars spawned their brakes to avoid colliding.Such reckless endangerment deserved multiple yelling, but no one voiced even a whisper at her. Something was charming about her; something simply irresistible made them chill out. She smiled knowingly. She thought of the last time she consumed a human through sex and huffed. It felt like a million years ago. Finding love had made her stop consuming humans. She crossed over to the other side, and the cars resumed their motion.Anyways, what was a demon doing in Felfili? A town meant for humans. They despised the place. Demons of all creatures hated humans, but to protect her son, Baselroth had to

Rademos puts on his suit in a rush. He sat on his bed, laced his shoes, got up, and stared in front of the mirror. He knotted his black tie, after which he stared at his hands, and his eidetic memory forced an image of him pushing Andis off him earlier into his mind. He suppressed the rest of the flashback. He stared at his reflection again, only this time, he took a while to appreciate his appearance.He turned off the light, stepped out of the room, and shut the door. He could hear the thrumming sound of the music as it came off the speakers in deep vibrations. He strolled down the corridor, his left hand casually placed in the left pocket of his trousers. He started to imagine the sight that was going to be before him when he entered the living room. The door swung in at his touch, and the full volume of the music hit him with a blast. The party lights cast fun, colorful shades on the dancers already vibrating to the music and having the times of their life. The party was clearly

Confusion had barely just begun. A cacophony of screams had erupted from within the house, accompanied by the sounds of things crashing down and plain pandemonium. It was just as if the people inside were trying to run outside all at once and pushing down things blocking their paths while they attempted to do so.Rademos and Andis exchanged a startled glance, and each wondered in their minds just what the heck was going on inside. Andis, who has always held a fascination for dragons since her younger days, suddenly wonders if one had made an appearance at the party. She shook her head at herself, feeling quite ridiculous about the thought."What the hell was that about?" Rademos asked, throwing the question more to the atmosphere than to Andis.They looked at each one more time in curiosity before they both sprinted away, each headed for the house at full speed. Rademos effortlessly gained momentum on Andis. He had always been the fastest runner in their school. He tore silently past

Rademos clung to his chest with his right hand feeling as if he had just been hit with a charged up defibrillator. His environment suddenly seemed to expand and he found himself lost in a void. Momentarily, reality faded into oblivion, causing him to be unable to do anything concerning the man he had just sent crashing through the glass window of the coffee shop across the street. He couldn't see anything, not even himself. Also, suddenly, all the things that go bump—or hoot—in the night went quiet. Goosebumps immediately popped up all over Rademos's skin. Adrenaline triggered his body flight or fight response, but there was nothing to fight, and he also didn't know which direction he should run in the darkness, so he froze. His fist curled and he gritted his teeth angrily as he wondered if he'd just been teleported again, though, nothing about the way he felt seemed to suggest he had."What the heck? Where am I?" he questioned inwardly."Hello," Rademos called into the darkness, bu
