December 21st, 1995. 2:10 AM. 23 degrees.

Alex Grey Sits on a train in the subway. He takes out a pack of cigarettes and smokes.

Alex: Mind: it's damn colder than it was last night...

Alex looked around the subway to find drunk business people and teens kissing each other.

Disgusting he thought. He blows out the smoke and sighed. One of the business people walks up to him and sits across from him. Alex looks up.

Alex: Need something?

The person shakes his head. The person didn't seem to be drunk and he probably needed to walk away from his drunk co-workers.

Alex: So what's your name?

Person: my name is asher. I know yours is Alex because you are well known around here.

Alex nods to what he said and sighs. Alex stands up.

Alex: Well my stop is here. See you next time asher.

Asher: And one more thing. Make sure to control it... Don't let it control you...

Alex: Ok?

The train stops at a station and he got off. He walked onto the cold and bitter streets. The streets are always flooded with drunk people late at night. He walks into an abandoned building and went down to the basement. This Is his home. He closes and locks the door. He sits on his bed coughing and rubbing his eyes. He was tired and sick from his last case.

Alex: I probably need some medicine...

Alex gets up and walks weakly to his bathroom coughing more. He grabbed his pills and swallowed 2 of them. He then walks back to his bed and laid down. He wipes off the black ooze coming from his nose with his eyes closed then drifting off to his sleep. He then woke up on a beach, but not just any normal beach. The sand was dark grey and hard. The sky was looming grey. There were black rocks coming out of the white water. Then he saw a figure in the distance.

Alex: Hello?

Alex walks toward the figure weakly as he keeps coughing. When he was close enough, He saw the face of the figure. No mouth, big white eyes, a shadow black face with black hair with a slim body.

Alex: who *cough* are *cough* you!?

The figure looks at him and walks to him. Alex tries to back away but he couldn't as he can't move. The figure got to his face and stared at him which seemed like forever. Then the figure hold its head and screamed.

Figure: WaKe uP! wAkE UP! WAKE UP!!!

Alex wakes up terrified and stood up without hesitation. He runs to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Under his nose was black ooze. His hands were shaking as he wipes the ooze off. Then his head starts hurting. He falls to the ground not able to move. His vision was shaky and the world around him was disappearing.

Alex: mind: a-am I dying?

Then the world....turned black and white.

Alex wakes up on a soft, comfy couch. He is covered in a soft blanket feeling warm and cozy. Orangish yellow sunlight beams through the window looking beautiful.  He sits up and his head starts pounding giving him a headache.

Alex: O-ow... Where am I?

Alex stands up trying to keep his balance and he smells food. His stomach rumbles and he walks into the kitchen to find a person cooking bacon and eggs.

Alex: H-hello? *cough*

The person looks at him. Its Asher. Asher smiles widely and walks up to him.

Asher: Please sit at the table! Food will almost be ready!

Alex: I- ok...

 Alex sits down at a beautifully decorated table with its brown wood. He looks around.

Alex: N-nice place here...

Asher: aww why thank you!

Asher brings him his food.

Asher: Once you're finished, Meet me outside!

Asher walks out of the house. Alex without hesitation gobbles up his food. He is full and pleasured. He then walks outside to find Asher sitting on a birch wood bench hanging from an old tall tree sipping tea with blankets covering him up looking warm and cozy. Alex walks up to him finding Asher smiling and patting the seat next to him. Alex sits down and Asher scooting closer and wrapping the blanket around him also.

Alex: W-what is happening to me?

Asher: Well, It looks like your inner demon is now taking over.

Alex: *confused* what does that mean?

Asher sips his tea.

Asher: Well, An inner demon is a demon that possesses a person's soul and giving them powers that humanity can't explain. You are in the beginning phase so you'll feel weak for a few weeks until your inner demon fully takes over.

Alex: B-but... What if I don't want to have one...

Asher looks at him and mimics a gun killing himself.

Asher: Get it? You'll probably have to deal with it...

Alex: oh... yeah got it.

Alex looks down. Asher looks at him.

Asher: You'll get used to it. Once you are fully taken over, I'll teach you some basic information about what to do.

Alex: Oh okay. I should probably be going. I don't want to disrupt you.

Asher: No it's ok. I like company. Stay as long as you need.

Alex: Oh ok...

Asher smiles up at him making Alex smile back.

Asher: Well... we should head inside. I got medicine for your headache.

Alex: G-good *cough*

They both walk inside and Asher gave Alex some medicine. They both sit on the couch.

Alex: How did you find me and brought me here?

Asher: My inner demon is a medic ichor. It basically signals me when a fellow demon is hurt mentally or physically. So it lets me teleport to the person and transport them to my house so I can nurse them back to health.

Alex: Oh... Is it often or rarely?

Asher: It doesn't happen much. You're the first person I met with an inner demon for a few months.

Alex: Oh...

Asher lays his head on Alex's shoulder.

Asher: It was lonely around here ever since the military tries to exterminate all demons which they are close at. *sigh*

Alex looks out the window. It has gotten dark already.

Alex: Yeah... I've heard about that.

Asher: Oh my it has got dark fast. You can sleep in the guest room if you want. Down the hall upstairs third door to the right.

Alex: Sounds good.

Asher yawns. He gets up and walks upstairs.

Asher: Just wake me up for anything you need. Goodnight!

Alex: Night.

Alex walks upstairs to the guest room and flopped down onto the bed falling asleep fast. He waked up in a dream again but it's different. Now it's a field of blood-red flowers and a white sky. He sees a woman in the distance. He walks up to the woman and touched her shoulder. The woman turns around...
