He Has Horns?

The entire sky darkened

It was pretty obvious that it was about to rain heavily. Various students we're all scrambling to get home before the rain descended full stop at this point it was almost impossible to stop a taxi

She couldn't help sighing helplessly

If she here waiting for a taxi that will probably never come he would end up being a victim to the Rain.

' maybe she should walk home'

Making up her mind, she put the sleeves of her sweater to cover her freezing in hands full stop was about an hour's walk to the house if she hurried hopefully she will make it on time before it started raining

Working steadily down the road and you decided to take a shortcut. It was a one her mother had warned her never to take, but  in cases like this she guessed it was acceptable. It was more of an alley Daniel Road and was completely empty and Incredibly dark due to the weather condition. She had to turn on the torch light on her phone to be able to see clearly where she was going

After working for about 20 minutes a strike of thunder seem to have told this guy open making way for the torrents of rain

" shit"

He shivered as the cold water poured from her soaking her within seconds. She started to run hoping to make it home soon

A yellow had her coming to an abrupt stop. She was sure she hadn't imagined it, the sound came from ahead

' maybe someone was hurt'

She walked towards the direction of the sound, from a distance away she could make out a kind of brightness she didn't quite understand. It was like a fire was born in even in that kind of weather, obviously any fire would be extinguished right?

Her curiosity ruled her better judgement and she walked closer

At a point she could make out a standing figure hovering above both seem to be a burning corpse person

" hello?"

The brightness of a torchlight wasn't enough to eliminate the figure but just then a lightning struck bringing a temporary light

A white haired male with what appeared to be homeschooled in the middle of the alley. Emerald green eyes turn to look at her, she didn't need anyone to tell her to run. She dashed back the direction she came her phone slipping from her hands and landed on the flooded ground

She had never run so fast in her life

' what the hell did she just see? People didn't have horns do they?"

*   *  *

" did you see that?"

Damien turned his attention from the burnt corpse to Eric who hovered above him

" hm"

" that girl can see us"

" that girls saw us is what you mean. We have to get rid of her"

Eric landed gracefully to the ground, his red hair stuck to his pale face even though not a single drop of rain ever touched him

" surely you don't mean we have to kill her? We got our target, can't we just go home? Besides nobody would believe her if she tells them what she saw. that is if she even knows what she saw"

" that kind of nonsense that comes out of your mouth makes me believe you really are an idiot"

Damien sighed at the demon princes insults. He was about too use to it by now

" come on Eric, stop being such a.."

" devil? Isn't that what we are?"

" irrelevant killing isn't necessary "

Eric sneered " we've killed over a thousand humans, what's one more"

" Eric.. "

" as I've said before, know your place. The only reason I haven't killed you is  because that will displease my father. I'll do as I please. keep out of my way"

That being said, the demon prince flew in the direction the girl went ignoring the other's call

He was going to take care of that girl once and for all

*   *   *

She had never ran so far behind tire life. It got to a point her chest became heavy and breathing became a problem

Worst thing was, she couldn't even see where she was running exactly, the harsh downpour and darkness. Still, that did not stop her from running, she knew what she had seen wasn't normal

' a horned man with snow white hair standing besides a burning corpse'

What the hell was that?!

She wouldn't let herself be deceived into thinking it was all in her imagination. Running for a couple of minutes, she was finally out of the cursed alley. From a distance, Angy could make out a figure standing standing in the rain. The first thing that came to her mind was that she couldn't possibly let this innocent person gets caught by the demon she saw earlier

" Run! There's something coming this way!"

The person didn't say anything at her warning nor made any movements. It was too dark to see his face (she has a male) and she couldn't possibly waste much time to explain to him what she had seen so she did the only thing that came to her mind

Angy grabbed onto his hand and dragged him along with her

Haven ran for sometime, he could finally relax and try to catch her breath believing that whatever had been chasing them was far behind

The rain was still falling quite heavily beating down harder on their already soaked body. She finally turned towards person she was holding, it was the first time he was actually in the right state of mind to observe him properly

The darkness though still prevented her from seeing his features  properly. He was male, that much she was sure of

" I believe we are safe now" she said assured

" from what exactly?"

A silky like voice asked, Angy was a bit taken aback by the melodious voice, she was quick to compose her self though

' this was not the time to develop another crush'

" are you blind? Didn't you see that horned person earlier"

The other was quite for a few seconds

" horns?"

Angy frowned. All of a sudden, she was feeling alert. How was it that this stranger didn't sound even a bit startled. He sounded like how one would when talking about the weather

Surely the average human being would have reacted quite differently

She opened her mouth to say something when a strike of lightening tote through the sky bringing with it a temporary brightness that shone illuminating the person before her

In a millisecond that the write me plastic and he was faced with the most breathtaking person she had have ever

Standing before her was was a boy presumably her age with red hair, his skin was very pale and shone brightly when reflected by light, his lips were the lightest shade of pink and his eyes were the colour of blood. On that  soft looking hair lay a pair of silver horns

Wait...horns?

She looked closely as another lightning flashed. as realistic as they looked the first time, she knew about those pointy things were indeed horns

Fear crept through every fibre of her being.

This wasn't a man...

" you....your..your n..not a person"

The person's expression didn't change, Though his sharp red eyes narrowed dangerously haha just like the way a tiger would look at a prey before passing on it

" did you just notice"

Before her eyes an awfully sharp looking dagger appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the person's hand. It blazed in blue flames

' like actual blue flames'

Angy felt her legs give out under her and she collapse on the puddle of flowing water below her. She had never shivered so much in her life and it certainly wasn't due to the cold weather either

" p..please..d..don't kill me"

The words flowed out of her lips broken. She didn't even have the strength to stand on her feet not to talk of running. It was like she was in some kind of spell

" I hate when humans complicate my task. Irrelevant things like you don't even deserve to die by my hand"

The person above her scorned, the dagger held firmly in his grip, The seemingly unquenchable flame still Burning wildly

" p..please"

She was crying now and yet no weeping sound left her lips, just the flowing of tears that blended into the Rain that was falling down on her

" I don't know how it is you are able to see us but even that isn't important since you are going to die as it is"

The rain seems to be falling harder now probably crying for her the tears she couldn't shed

Another flash of lightning, the red-haired person's eyes flashed in the light, she could swear she had never seen such cruelty in a person's eyes before

The dagger raised in preparation to strike. Sucking in a deep breath , her hand came up to cover her face as she prepared herself for the pain that was to come
