My Demon

Nero walked out of the group of men and looked at the wall with a wide smirk on his face. He cracked his fingers one by one as the marks on his cheekbones started pulsing black and red.

His fangs became longer, and white smoke started coming out of his mouth. His eyelids and area around his eyes turned black, and his eyes shined red as blood with a star-like design rotating in his eyes.

Three black claw-like scars appeared from below his eyes, and they stretched to the mark on his cheekbones. His marks opened up and a black line trained down to the chin.

Nero cuffed his both hands and muttered, "Calm down, my demon. This is a personal matter, and I would like to handle it on my own."

Nero jerked his body in pain and fell to his knees.

The men around looked at each other with a concerned look on their faces, and one of them reached his hand to touch Nero.

"Don't you dare touch me!" Nero shouted. "Stay away from me."
