The blood ran from my face."Y-you repeat it to me?" I mumbled, breathless in my lungs."Exis…" He stopped and cleared his throat. There is a possibility that the souls that are destined to go to Hell will suffer a serious distortion…, and end up becoming demons,” she explained in a very low voice.The world began to spin around me. The lights reflecting off the water moved and made me want to throw up. I had to support my hands and feel the grass in my palms to try to calm myself down.-Are you OK? She asked putting a hand on my shoulder.I nodded, or so I think. I wasn't sure."Y-yes…" I whispered in a small voice, with no conviction. As…? How is that possible?Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him make a face."Honestly, I'm not entirely sure," he replied, shaking his head. There are many variables that have to coincide for it to happen. It is not that every soul that goes to Hell ends up turned into a demon. Few get it."What variables?" My chest heaved with my breathing, but I d

Khaius bit his lower lip, and it seemed like he did it hard. During the period that he was speaking, he did not look at me for a second, not even in the pauses. He was so lost in the memory of him, he didn't notice that my eyes were clouded with a light film of tears.—I remember that there were several days when he did not return, and I don't know if it was because of work, or because he was going through a stage of rebellion, I have no idea. The only thing I know is that one day I arrived at the house, and there was a group of three men…” His chin trembled, and a hint of dark feeling suffused his features. I found my… my mother lying on the ground. She had blood everywhere. I didn't dedicate myself to reviewing it, I went immediately to look for my sister... —He couldn't continue, and I didn't want to hear what I had seen either, so inside I was grateful that he omitted it.He swallowed audibly before continuing.—It's strange how there are things I still remember, others I've forgo

-Because you said so?-Don't know. I mean, he was great, he was… heck , he was amazing. I wanted to roll my eyes again, but instead I pressed my lips together and just waited for him to continue. But it was still kind of weird. I don't know what happened to me, you know I'm not like that. Don't take me for crazy, but I swear I had the feeling that at no time was I the owner of my own body. She kind of acted out of inertia… And honestly, your friend is very intense. I don't think she could have any relationship with someone like that."I see," I mumbled, unconvinced."I have no idea where you met those guys, Amy," he said with some rebuke. I'm starting to think Dee's right, maybe they're bad influences."Bad influences?" Is the guy who, without knowing her, slept with my friend telling me? My own question threw me off balance, but it wasn't because of him. It was because of the fact that I called Akhliss "friend."I shook my head to put that thought away."Please, Amy. —Even from the c

"So... how much do you remember about the... last day you saw me?"A wrinkle crossed his brow."It's… very confusing.""Do you know what happened to you, Claire?"We stared at each other for a minute. By the time I realized it, we had stopped just a couple of houses away from mine. She didn't seem to want to keep walking."Yes," he muttered in a barely audible tone.“I need…you to say it,” I asked cautiously.Her eyes widened, assuming an expression of panic, and she shook her head in fearful denial."Please don't make me say it, Amy," he whispered. I do not want to do it. I already know what happened to me. I… I remember."Okay, calm down," I said to calm her down.I thought I should comfort him, but I didn't know how. I held up a hand, but backed away when I saw her give a little start; I made a fist and hid it back in my pocket."I'm so sorry about what happened to you, Claire," I murmured.She wrapped her arms around herself and looked away from me."It was… it was my fault."That

"It's him …" I heard her mutter, and for a moment I felt so weak that I thought I would end up on the ground at any moment. I was grateful for having put her hand on top of it, because I used it for support.I looked at her in shock, but she was still watching him, her eyes wide and her breath coming fast. However, after a couple of seconds, a completely different emotion took over her features. A huge rage manifested itself in every part of her, in her face and in the way she balled her hands into fists.He took a deep breath... And, without letting me stop him or even protest, he crossed the street in his direction.“Claire!I went after her, but as soon as I caught up with her, she waved me out of the way with one arm, surprising me with the force she used. Her rage seemed to be matched only by the terror that filled me at seeing her so close to the demon."You…" she said through gritted teeth, when she was a few meters from him. What did you do to him?I stepped between them, afra
