Chapter 2: Symptoms

I got off the couch and changed into my comfy clothes. Then I got into bed slowly and closed my eyes. I moved a lot in bed because couldn´t sleep. I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror. ¨What the hell?¨ I said. My left eye was completely light red. I washed my face and looked into the mirror. It was still there. Then my chest started to hurt. I grunted and fell slowly onto the floor. I was paralyzed. I couldn´t move as I tried to. The coldness of my apartment grew onto me and wiped away my comfortness and my fingertips felt like frostbite. Then suddenly, I could move again but only this time my head felt like something was on it. I looked into the mirror and saw two devil horns on my head and my eyes were dark red. I screamed and fell backward from horror. I ran out of my apartment and outside. My bare body suddenly became cold because I was wearing my PJ´s.

I ran out of nowhere. I couldn´t move control myself but if someone was controlling me. Then I jumped. I jumped so high and I landed on a building. I could finally move again. ¨WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?¨ I thought. ¨what, you don´t like being controlled?¨ Someone said. I looked around to see who said that. ¨W-who are you!?¨ I said. ¨You dumbass I'm in your head¨ someone said. Then out of nowhere, Bright red slime came out of my ear. The slime suddenly became a blob. ¨O-oh my god.¨ I said. ¨Hi I'm a demon!¨ The thing said. I fell backward in fear. ¨D-don´t come any closer!¨ I said aloud. The blob stood there. ¨Oh sorry, I'm YOUR Demon¨ The thing said. Look if you ask me how I felt, I felt pretty scared and confused. ¨W-what?¨ I said. The blob came an inch closer. ¨Look I´ll tell you what's going on if you would just calm down...¨ The blob said. I breathed heavily then sighed. ¨O-oh Ok...¨ I said. The blob came a little more closely. ¨You see I am a demon. I control things like animals and Humans. I depend on the host for food such as...flesh.¨ The blob said. My eyes opened wide open. ¨F-flesh!¨ I said. ¨Yep you got it!¨ The blob said. ¨But I-I don´t wanna kill anyone!¨ I said.

¨You don´t really have to unless you wanna die.¨ The blob said. I sat there silently. ''Because if the demon doesn't get the food then the demon takes their host's brain and eats it and moves to another thing to control.'' The blob said. ¨O-oh my¨ I said while the coldness felt warm in my blood. ¨You are in your demon form still since my other half is still in your body So I have to go back in if that's ok with you?¨ The blob said. I stood up. ¨S-sure..." I said. The blob came back into my ear and then I ran fastly back home. I got inside and fell asleep on the couch since I was REALLY tired. ¨Good night...¨ said the thing in my head. Today was really rough and confusing but now I guess this is my life with a demon. ¨Hey um arekkusu I'm hungry'' the demon said. ''what...'' I said. ''Yeah, I need to eat" The demon said. I got up and put on my winter clothes and went outside. The demon was controlling me even though I know whats going on. Then I saw a drunk person. I looked around and walked up to him. Then out of nowhere, I jumped onto him and tore away his head. It was disturbing but I had to eat him. After a few minutes, I ate his head. "Arekkusu, I'm sorry you had to see that," The demon said. No no, It's fine..." I said. "But anyways, You unlocked something..." The demon said. "I unlocked what?" I said getting up and walking away. "Pull out your hand," The demon said. I did and then, I shot out a bloody stringy thing and it pulled me onto a side of a building and I attached to the wall. "W-Woah..." I said surprised. "You see When you eat enough bodies, you kinda get abilities and if you eat other demons you get a powerful ability..." The demon said. I fell back into the snow.

"Wait, you mean there are more demons!?" I said. "Yeah sorry I didn't tell you but I kinda forgot too. But I can sense if they are good or a bad demon." He said. I walked back home. "So, if I go back to school tomorrow, you'll probably find one right?" I said while walking into my cozy and warm apartment. "yeah but I wanted to ask you something Arekkusu..." He said. "Huh?" I said. "How are you chill with this?" He said. I sighed. "Well I hate life and I saw my family get tortured right in front of me so I kinda saw more disturbing stuff than what I just saw," I said while I changed into my PJs. "Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that..." He said. I got into bed and closed my eyes. "goodnight...wait I don't know what to call you." I said. "Oh well um name me I guess..." He said. "Um, how about asheru?" I said. "Sure...asheru...Nice!" Asheru said. "well anyways, goodnight!" I said falling asleep. "goodnight arekkusu," He said...
