THE FORSAKEN ANGEL

Episode 25-A demon Friend

Crystal drew Damian’s hands towards the end of the classroom and drag him to stay at the quiet end of the passage and the staircase that led to the library.

“You can see this?” Crystal asked again to be sure.

“Yeah, why? shouldn’t I be able to see it” Not wanting to go into details she averted the conversation.

“You are, it’s just…she played a plank on me telling me it was invincible” Damian laughed after hearing that Crystal returned the feather into her bag not wanting to know more about Damian seeing things he shouldn’t have been able to see, her eyes caught on the demons passing and she turned to Damian.

“I wonder why Potter has a horn, it isn’t Halloween today” Crystal joked about one of their classmate who turned out to be a demon; who just walked past them.

“What are you talking about?” Damian frowned staring at Crystal weirdly since he had no idea what she was talking about.

“I mean Potter; you don’t see the two horns on his head?” Crystal asked to be certain.

“Nah, why would he even have a horn on his head…it isn’t Halloween yet” Damian frowned staring intensely at the boy was now out of their sight.

“You need not to worry, I was just kidding, let’s head down to class now” Crystal smiled drawing him by the hand as he led him to class but release his hands when they were about to enter into your class. They had a new teacher, who Crystal guessed had taken over history, for a minute it didn’t matter but then it started to matter when her new teacher had a forked tongue, and scales over her body and she was just about to introduce herself when the principal led a new girl to their class.

“Hello everyone, this is your new Classmate and her name is Andréa, Andrea…introduce yourself” The principal insisted.

“Hello everyone, my name is Ginger Andrea” Well she does seem to look a lot like her name, her ginger hair was extremely long, reaching her waist but it looks improperly kept. Andrea was wearing a lacy gown with tone embodiments. Her white Ballerina flats matched with the dress and the long white socks she had worn inside, reaching her knees. After proper introduction Andrea walked to sit next to Crystal, a seat which had been occupied by Helen when she was in school after they got to know each other a little better.

“I’m sorry but my friend owns that seat” Crystal tried to vend Ginger off especially after she fingered she had a tail and a peculiar eyes.

“Yes I know, I’m a friend of your friend Helen. They sent me here” Crystal frowned finding it hard to believe because she believed it was impossible Helen would have befriended, make friends or stay in contact with a demon.

“She said you might have a difficulty believing me, so she asked you to open the letter again and this time make sure you have the letter in two pieces-

“Miss Ginger, do you have anything to say to the class?” The new history teacher Mr. Benjamin walked up to ginger and gave her a scolding look before she decided to keep quiet. Throughout the entire class, Crystal felt confused she had no idea if the demon had really come from Helen. It was time for biology so they all intended to head straight to the biology lab but Andrea pull her sideways to talk to her.

“Not all demons are bad; Princess Angelique always said it herself, you should check the letter…I was sent here to protect you. She said it was better if it was a demon watching over you…that way you won’t be suspected” Crystal didn’t look convinced still. She brought out the letter and check but the front and the back but it didn’t exceed what had been written on it until ginger took the letter from her and split the paper into two; how she did it? She wasn’t sure but inside the split letters was some set of instructions, it even entails what she had gone through, it turns out Helen really knew about her body being controlled by her sister the previous night.

“I came in with two of his old friends after they saved me from killing myself at the railway station, they offered me a good preposition and I took it. I’ve always felt useless and out of place my entire life until I met them, they made it seem like every life matters-

“Every life does matters” Crystal supported grabbing her bag to put back the letter but one of the three T’s took it from her and she had to go running after him.

“Give that back” She half-screamed trying to catch up to Tyler who kept giggling and chuckling while running around the hallway but before he could turn and take the stairs something long grabbed his legs and he kept spiralling backwards sending the letter flying back to Crystal he lay there groaning on the floor in discomfort.

“That serves you right” Crystal nodded putting back the letter in her bag and before turning but Andréa was already right behind her.

“You got here so fast-

“I’m a crawler demon. I took to the ceilings” Crystal wore a shocked looked but hid her surprise well.

“That’s surprising but anyone could have seen you though, be careful” Crystal advised as they both headed to their next class. Crystal was able to concentrate this time and finished her class with a rather free mind but then three others from the other class came looking for her, it was shocking because she didn’t even know them.

“Hey” The three blonde boys in jersey smiled at her weirdly after she came out to see them with Andrea who had refused to leave her side even for a second.

“Hey, can I help you?” Crystal acted uninterested as the boys stared at her strangely but mischievously, they showed her something on their phone and Crystal’s brows immediately creased; she rose down to the cafeteria where the triple tee’s where harassing Damian.

“We knew you’d come, we are glad you could join us” Damian was in his shorts, they had taken the plaid light blue shirt and deep blue jeans he had on, his hoodie was taken by Trace.

“So, you are the girl who kept causing trouble for them. We heard you care about that whim of a boy” The boys who had informed Crystal of what was going on with Damian approached, all had their hands to their pocket as they watched with interest what Crystal would do next. Crystal was enraged, he walked over to Damian and tried to get him to stand on his feet but he resisted her.

“They said they were going to ruin my sister’s game if I retaliated” Damian muttered and this only angers Crystal further. She grab Trace by the leg making him fall and draw him to the ground with a loud groan and painful grunt escaping from him then took Damian’s hoodie from him after which she landed several punches to Trace face, then she turned to Tyler who had tried to get her attention earlier. Tyler tried to fight back but Crystal was incredibly stronger and managed to twist him arm collecting Damian’s shirt from him and one glance from him to Tobias and him immediately releasing the jeans.

“Now put your damn clothes on and stop acting so cowardly” Crystal sounded pretty upset and Damian looked embarrassed but Crystal wanted him to be. She was so disappointed that Damian allowed them to harass in front of so many students in the cafeteria, she was even more upset to see that the cook and several teachers in the place just ignored their presence.

“Not so fast” The three odd boys said to her and she started to c***k her knuckles, ready to take them but Andrea got in the way.

“They are demons” She whispered and Crystal frowned wondering how the boys in front of them were demons since they have no strange features.

“Most people here are hypnotized, that’s how I know” Andrea filled her in then Crystal turned to look at the teachers who were all eating and chatting as if nothing was happening right behind them.

“I kept wondering how it was possible that you know what we are” One of the boys said showing his fangs, they all had fangs and claws it seems so they could actually be what Andrea said they were.

“They are night feeders, they feed on human’s blood but only at night…right now, they can’t feed but can still injure you, we should get out of here” Andrea pleaded.

“I’m not leaving, they should do whatever it is they have to do, motherfuckers” Crystal spat at them as they walked closer to her.

“But we have no business with you, since you're only a human with our kind as your friend, it’s kind of beneath us, but Andrea…it’s better she has her mouth to herself or next time we won’t be so merciful” The blonde with the expensive designer clothes and sneakers smiled before leaving with the rest of his group but then, Damian collapsed and they both rushed to him to check what was up with him and they were shocked to realise he’d been poisoned.
