Chapter 9: Evidence " There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it." -One Tree Hill ************ |Verena| "Thank God the key fits." I whispered. We were currently standing in the alleyway at the back of the apartment complex, in front of the narrow, rusted door labelled "Backup Generator Room."

He looked at me in shock and I could see the fear in his eyes when he looked at my arm. "Demon." I heard him say before running away from my room. I just asked why he seems to be scared. Who is the demon? Me? What is a demon by the way? Then when I got dressed I went out of the room and went to the kitchen, I saw a knife fall to the floor so I took it but I immediately let it go and closed my eyes because I saw something in my mind again. I saw the face of my mom and the girl with the horns again, mom was holding a knife and stabbed that girl with the horns, the girl did not know because she was sleeping.

Ares turned away from her with a sigh as he looked up to the sky. “Because he tried to kill me. My father…. He tried his best to free me from the demon inside me but there was nothing he could do about the demon and it was getting worse and worse everyday. I would wake up and find myself in a pool of blood with dead animals around me or sometimes, some dead wolves or humans. After that, my father locked me up in a room that no matter what, I couldn't escape till one day, he told me he found a solution" Myla raised an eyebrow.

" You know, ever since Acacia was created, it never hid a demon but the hunters never stop coming. What if, somehow there was a demon within? What if, that demon was a camouflage all this years? And what if, I am that demon? " " You're not that demon. " Elena simply said. " If you were, we could have noticed. " " What if you can't notice the kind of demon I am? " " Then I say it's impossible. Lora, I understand what you're trying to say but I can't accept the fact that you're a Demon. You're the sane human I know since you first came here. Believe it or not, Lora, you're not a Demon" " I hope so. "

I answered coolly. He strutted across the room and went to stand in a glass window where the outside showed a good angle of the veranda and the Winner Family pool. He smiled, pleased over something that he saw. I wondered what it was then. What is advantageous of being a demon is that we get to read another person's mind. We can use it for or against them. But before an angel, we are helpless. It is either they have barriers in their too-holy brains or they are just dead on imagination. I prefer to think it is the latter.

He has managed to treat and bandage his upper body and is about to head out of my bedroom when I stop him. “Are you going to be okay?” He smiles. He’s genuinely amused by my question. In fact, he’s laughing at me. “I’m a demon,” he reminds me. “The wounds will heal overnight.” I nod. His smile fades and he gives me one last look before leaving my bedroom. *** After a rough night of tossing and turning, I manage to get only a few hours of sleep. I climb out of bed reluctantly and get cleaned up before heading downstairs to see Annie shuffling around in my kitchen.

If I had known they worked for him, I would have listened to that faint voice in my head and ran hard and fast. I knew who he was before I arrived in this country. It was important that lone wolves like Hannah and I learned about the hierarchy of the most powerful packs and who not to cross. He came up on the top of the most feared. Not just in the supernatural world. He ruled the underground world too. A deadly combination of guns and claws. It was rumored that he ripped out hearts if a person just took the wrong breath in his direction. Carmine Moreno or as he was known across all factions— The Demon Wolf.

My eyes flashed down and then back up so quickly that I didn't even get a good enough look to see if he was affected by what we were watching, or if that was just how the fabric of his pants naturally bunched from the position he was in. My second glance was longer, a lot longer. There was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Did demons even have the same reproductive parts as humans? They had to have something based on the circle he ruled over, right? Or perhaps that was why it was Hell, to begin with. Were the humans and demons locked in a realm of eternal arousal with no outlet for relief? The theory was so close to the past week with Demetri that it might actually be true. "Little Witch," his ra

Artemísia looked at the demon with flaming eyes. "She wouldn't hurt you, I just wanted you to see how- Geon couldn't finish the sentence. Artemisia slammed the diary between his horns before the demon could even figure it out.

Shunka knew it didn't have much time. SMASH! Diane dropped her cell phone when she heard glass shattering in the kitchen. She hurried to DJ, who was standing up and looking towards the slide windows. The curtains were swaying in the wind as the breeze blew in through the broken windows. “Come to me, DJ," Diane's voice was shaky. DJ quickly ran and held on to his grandmother's skirt tail. “Hold on to me, DJ, and don't let go," Diana warned. She inched up towards the window, she couldn't see the floor from where she was, the kitchen island was in the way. She stepped around the counter and her eyes widened at the demon that was crouched. Its eyes fell on DJ first then on Diana. It licked its l
