Their Arrival in The Realm of Humans

The strange phenomenon yesterday was all around the news. My mother looked so worried that she didn't even allow me to go to school today, fearing that the green substance yesterday were chemicals that bring poison, and if I got too much exposure to it, it may harm my health.

"Jeez Oka-san, it's fine. The news said it wasn't poison. It's just the color of the sky. Just imagine an aurora borealis had occurred in the skies of Japan!"

"But how about the red stripes that looked like fire? " she said- completely paranoid. But mother is so cute when she is like that.

"Oka-san, it was just probably an aurora borealis as the sunset occurs. Just imagine Oka-san."

"But, just how do you explain the sounds?"

I stopped. Knowing that my explanation wouldn't do good in proving the occurrence of the sound. Mother heard it too. Everyone did. Every part of the world. And every scientist is confused.

Including me.

But what really was it?

"Oka-san, do you remember the news where some places of earth experience this very rare event, where the environment suddenly turns silent and animals become so aware of their surroundings and start to act strange? And then weird noises or sounds start to be heard from the skies? Just a phenomenal event Oka-san. No need to worry. Experts will figure it out soon."

"But Miki, sweetheart, the experts are even puzzled. It's been two days and no theories have been heard out yet."

Two days? Has it been really that long?

I stopped for a moment. Mother has a point. So how in the world could that have happened?

"I don't know... but what I believe is that those were just something strange occurring in the atmosphere, and the biosphere is affected. Don't be scared Oka-san, it'll be fine."

My mom let out a deep and worrying sigh. "I hope so." She says.

I waved goodbye to her and headed back to my room to get a quick nap. Just a quick one. After all, I got tired all of sudden.

_

"Hey, wake up."

I was woken up by a faint tug and I shifted my head to the side, telling that I needed much more sleep.

"No good. She's back to sleep again."

That's the time I opened my eyes.

I was startled to hear a man's voice. Moreover, I knew it wasn't my Oto-san.

I didn't move. My head was still on the side, and my eyes are visibly open.

"Hey. Wake up."

Oh crap. A new man's voice! Just how many are they?!

"Wake up, or we'll burn your house."

What. The?

I sat in the bed facing in the opposite direction. To be clear, I was facing the wall.

"DAD?!" I called out.

"Kino? Ralph? Is that you?" I called out my cousins' names.

"No. We're not one of your relatives." a faint, dark, and intriguing voice replied.

I sat frozen. Unable to think. Unable to speak a new word. Unable to move. Why? Because the shadows I see before me...

has horns.

I instantly made the sign of the cross. Prayed the Our Father, and fear was racing through my mind.

"Prayers don't work."

"in heaven, hallowed be thy name."

"I told you. Just stop won't you?"

I stopped. Instantly. Stood up and faced them.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" I yelled from the top of my lungs when I saw the men I was with the whole time I was sleeping.

Fearing for my innocence, I grabbed the doorknob, preparing to leave. However, the knob seems stuck and I was trapped in.

Oh no. I'm screwed. Oh no.

I nudged the knob more but still, it won't budge.

"There's no need to waste energy. We're not going to do any sort of harm to you."

"J-JUST ANSWER MY Q-QUESTION."

A man with a green suit replied. "We're devils."

"Devils?!" Completely hopeless, I stopped touching the knob. "Why are you in here? Have mercy! Don't possess me! I have dreams to fulfill!"

"We have no intention of doing that." a man with the blue suit replied. "Calm down."

"Introduce yourselves..." I managed to say. "And explain, why of all places on Earth, you chose my bedroom!"

"I shall start then." one of them said.

I keep my palms on the knob as they slowly circled around me.

..."We are the rulers of the crimson heavens. Where flames and souls of eternal damnation scream and sinners repent."

...

I gulped.

This isn't gonna go well.
