Ch.40

Someone caught Sebastian and the woman and landed a bit away. The whale chomped at air as the person let the two people go.

'I'm...alive?'

Sebastian opened his eyes and looked up at the figure. He wore a black cap and a white coat with black fur. You couldn't see their face, but you could see their lips curl up slightly.

"Who...are you?"

The whale got angry that someone saved his dinner and so it decided to rush at said person.

"Who am I?"

The whale shot out a beam of ice towards him. The person smiled at that however, and put his hand up.

"That's Just Cold."

....

Daemon was walking through the forest. 'We're almost at the lake..' He sighed as the walk was long and perilous. It was worth it however as... Well, have you ever slept with a Lamia before?

They wrap your body up, and squeeze the hell out of you. For others, it's instant death. But for a Lamia to do this for someone they hold dear, it feels like jelly. 'Her skin and boobs... They were so soft..'

Daemon started drooling as he grabbed at the air. 'Maybe she'll let me do more than that? She kisses me without warning at times, so maybe I could feel her up without wanrning...'

He was a whole new character.

Daemon blamed it on his power when in reality, this was his true self. He just repressed it with his power so in a way, it's an infinite loop of 'Yeah, it is my power' and 'No, that's the real me.'

Just then, the ground shook. Daemon put up a million barriers around the children, and 1 around himself, Hannah, and Yumi. 'Kids come first..' Especially his first kids. They may not have came from his sack, but he'll sure as hell treat them like they did.

"It must be the whale..."

Daemon kept the barriers over the children, but released the ones he had over himself and the other two.

"Its fighting or it saw prey. That's the only time when the world shakes.."

The world was small. It rivaled New York city in size bassically..

"Then...we should go see who it is. It might be our friends!"

Hannah cheered out. 'Yeah..' Daemon took his hands off the stroller and placed them on Hannah's head. 'Things are bad...' He saw what was happening. He needed to go, now!

"Hannah. Please stay here, and protect them."

The skaking got louder, making animals run away and causing snow to fall off trees.

"W-what? Why?.."

She said in a sad and confused tone.

"You don't want to see...what's happening down there..."

Daemon then turned around and faced Yumi. She was also confused by his sudden change in personality and mood. 'He must can see...' Daemon placed his hand on her head as well.

"Yumi. Please wait here. After all of this, we'll leave this place together..."

Daemon then hugged her, surprising himself and Yumi. 'I-I never hugged someone by myself like this..' He was truly becoming his real self again. Not the mysterious aura he kept on himself, but the outgoing and talkative person he really is.

"Daemon.."

She hugged him back, burying her face into his chest. She would wrap her tail around them both as well.

"Please... Please come back for me, and the kids.."

"I..will. I'll never leave you. For as long as I can protect you, I will always be your knight."

Yumi gave a small peck to his cheek and backed away. She had a small smile on her face with her eyes closed. 'I'm gonna change your last name one day..' Daemon made an odd vow as he walked around the stroller.

"And you two.."

Daemon placed his hands on their head. They now could look around, and even show emotion. 'Female Lamias age different from other Lamias. It's pretty...unique..'

"Your pops will be back. I know, I know. It's a sad thing to see, but-"

The small babies started clapping their hands together while laughing. They didn't take their father seriously, almost like they knew that he would return.

"You guys are soooooo cute! With your wittle hands and small twail. You take after your mother, you know? That means you both will become beauties in the future. No boyfriends thou-"

"D-Don't you need to leave!"

Yumi was fine with his words until he spoke about her beauty. That made her even more embarrassed.

"Yes, yes.."

Daemon put his hand into the stroller and they grabbed his face. 'Kids at 16. Feels wrong, but oh, does it make me happy..' He kissed their small foreheads, making them coo.

Daemon then left them with a wave and disappeared into the white fog.

"I truly...found the one.."

She took off her black clothes, becoming a naked woman/snake in the white snow. Hannah was amazed at such a body that she started striving for it.

"Its settled.."

She reached into her breast and pulled out clothes that fit for her only. A black bra followed by a light blue night gown.

"Daemon. I...want to live my life with you. I love the way you take care of my kids. No, our kids. And over these past couple of days, you've shown to be a pretty nice guy. Your dependable and caring. You never get angry at me, or the kids.."

Daemon seemed bland as a character, but that was what made him unique to others.

"I hope...we can work out.."

....

Sebastian instanly recognized the voice as the man put his hand out. 'Daemon?! Its Daemon?! It really is...' Sebastian started smiling big as he stared at the back of the huge figure.

The beams of ice parted ways and went behind him and into the forest. The ice froze over the forest as Daemon slowly put his hands back into his pockets.

"Daemon?.."

Lucifer stared at the figure in the distance. 'It really is...him..' Lucifer had no doubt in his mind that he would show up.

It was just a matter of when. 'Also...hes exposing himself..' Even though Lucifer thought that, a smile still appeared on his face.

'That's....good..'

<<<"What? How? Explain.">>>

The whale focused its eyes on Daemon. It tried getting a reading on him and when it did, sweat ran up his face.

<<<"N-No magic? Strong!">>>

It flopped away and went back into the waters. 'So it wants to run huh?' Daemon was about to started walking when someone grabbed his leg. He looked back at the person and stared.

"... ...."

Sebastian saw the power of another man. Someone who wasn't...Daemon.

"Oh, I am. This is just the real me.."

Daemon then looked past him and stared at the frozen Sarah. 'She'll die at this rate..' He flicked towards the ice, instantly shattering it. Sarah immediately flopped to the floor while shaking.

'You've been a big help. Thank you..'

Daemon created a fire next to her and slightly yanked his leg away from Sebastian.

"This will all be explained later. For now, gather everyone up and head north. You'll find Hannah and someone else. Please, and I'm begging you, please take them with you."

Daemon entrusted Sebastian with a huge goal. He could take them out by himself, but he wanted to see how trust worthy Sebastian really was.

Daemon then ran over to the hole and jumped in it. The ice formed once more, leaving Daemon and the huge whale alone in the black, cold water.

'Who is...Daemon?..'

Sebastian was confused, but he still got up. 'He isn't who we thought he was. He was a fraud...and yet..' A forced smile showed on his face. 'Hes still my friend! I need the hear the whole truth, but for the time being, I'll trust him!'

Sebastian then went around and gathered the terrified students. Acier and Maku showed themselves next to Lucifer, breathing heavily from swimming all they way here.

"I-I saw someone in the water! We have to save them!"

Acier rested on the side of the hole she carved out. 'Suicide. Its suicide and yet..' She thought back to what she was seeing.

'It was...running away?..'

"Acier. We need to leave. They can take care of it on their own."

Lucifer helped her and Maku out the water. She sat them near the infinite campfire. 'How is this active and who activated it?' Acier questioned but that didn't stop her from putting her hands out at it.

"Who are they?"

"You'll find out soon. For now, the battle is only beginning and we need to get off this lake.."

The shaking started to continue as the once predator was becoming prey to a new species that it's never seen before.

It wasn't human.
