Nightmare

"Why are you hiding their identities, Olrath !" Liam was basically yelling at his demon.

It was late at night, when he was standing outside of his apartment, the rain was pouring heavily and the weather was cold but he had to talk to him .

"Knowing them is not going to undo what happened to those stupid kids " Olrath replied quietly.

"You didn't have to do that !"

" Are you feeling sorry for that girl ! "

"I told you I am not, I just don't like doing unnecessary things ".

Olrath laughed sarcastically then said :" We were killing people for fun for a while now, that was completely necessary, she is the next one on the list if you just didn't tame her ".

"I will kill her when the time comes ".

Olrath faced Liam then said : "They're not going to hesitate like you ; those bastards are more than ready to terminate every single one of us ".

Liam leaned on the wall of his apartment then said :"She is with us now !"

"A shaman is never going to be on the demon's side , keep that in mind".

Liam didn't reply to what Olrath said but ignored him as he walked to his room. She has been sleeping for a day now, she must be tired to fall asleep like this .

He sat next to her on the bed and held his phone. He must choose the next person to kill, Olrath doesn't tolerate any delay .

'The next person to die …' He thought.

That's the worst part of his day ..

He was the one responsible for someone else's death ..

And this happens every day, it was a part of the contract with Olrath and if he doesn't fulfill his part he will lose everything .

Two years ago when Liam fell into this mess,  he had to obey Olrath because he signed the damn contract.

He killed a lot of people randomly because he couldn't choose who to kill .

He was weak ..

He had a power but couldn't use it

He was humane but now he doesn't even know what he was .

This world was filled with opposites that keep colliding and trying to vanish each other since the beginning of existence, and so demons and shamans, in ages they fought endless battles that caused them so many losses over the years.

In the "Devilish one " Humans tried to use the demonic powers to fight each other,  and  that is how they ended up slaves to the demons and their powers .

Now, the demons are playing them, using them for their amusement as they trigger their insecurities, lost hopes and fears .

The kim clan had the ability to fight them because they were part of the first ones who used demons for their purposes.

There are a lot of demon's types, contractor dependents are the least ranked one of them because their powers are low and depend on their contractors powers .

The contractor dependents are the filthiest  disreputable because they manipulate and deceive their contractor and use them like tools to kill people for their pleasure, the guilt of their contractors gives them a lot of leverage .

*********

All Luna knew now was that she has to stay calm if she wants to stay alive to fight for her clan .

This time she chose another path …

Even if this path meant that she had to stay with the villain for a while. 

Luna  didn't pay attention to Liam all day but when the room darkened she sensed some fear towards him, he didn't even lighten his room he just took a shower then walked to the room and laid next to her, she didn't face him but kept giving him her back .

Liam didn't even talk to her, he slept soundly next to her without touching or kissing like last time .

A thought crossed her mind, maybe he was only teasing her back then and that made her hate him even more   .

Minutes after she lightened the room, his heavy breathing started to be stable, she closed her eyes to rest them and with his breathing  rhythm slept .

'What were his real motives in the "devilish one"? Why is he acting like this now ?Why in hell did he tame me ?

A lot of questions.Yet no answers..He certainly wanted to achieve something…But what was it anyway! My clan to be finished  !Why ? '

Now Luna needed to know, because he won't even let her vanish until she helps him.

Falling asleep next to a girl he hardly knows just because she was a member of a clan that fights demons was irrational !

He didn't even know that she had no abilities , no knowledge, no powers, she was the least ranked member in the clan .

She really couldn't fight demons and if he knew that he would've killed her already ..

She was his classmate and that's it ..

If it wasn't for her clan he would've never been next to her for this night .

She closed her eyes ..

darkness ..

'Am I asleep now?? …'

She couldn't  hear him next to her .These flames appeared in seconds..

'How !' All that was  crossing her mind.

'Why am I surrounded by fire ?How did I get myself here ? '

The last thing she remembered was being next  to Liam in his room and now she was stuck in this burning place ..

'Is this  a forest ! Is it a  park !'

The place looked familiar, but she couldn't recall..

Luna stood still there, she wanted to call for someone to help her but she stopped .Rose and Joseph crossed her mind .She didn't have anyone anymore. 

There was no way she could run from this .And there was no chance someone could help her too ..

'Liam ..'

Suddenly she remembered him, at least he had supernatural powers ..

But he would never help her, and she would never ask him for it either .

She was certain ..

As the flames started to get closer to her she screamed but even then she didn't move a bit .

'Why am I not moving?'

She looked down and found out that her feet were tied ..
