My Personal Demon Ch. 1
My Personal Demon
Chapter 1: The Girl With No Head
The day the world stood still... the same day my attempt at a normal life ended. My name is Jake Cutter... I'm a demon hybrid. My mother was a demon and my father was human. Ever since the day I discovered the truth, I've tried to look normal in the eyes of the world. Incidents happened often though... suppressing my demonic energy caused a massive build up. When my energy reservoir was beyond full it would burst out with my summoning. I've changed schools and cities often since I was 13. I'm now 20, in college, and have enough control to hold it in until I get to my apartment. It's hard though, especially after coming into contact with that one strange woman. She always hides her face, riding around on a dark colored motorcycle. I accidently knocked her over at the park while I was jogging, using my energy reservoir to keep me from getting tired as well as allowing me to empty my reservoir so I could go through the day without any accidents. She was on foot and passing me with a package in her hands, with the cops chasing after her as I later found out. She looked over her shoulder as I tripped and we slammed into each other.
"Sorry about that" I said as I picked up the package and held it out to her, "Here you go"
She was shaking all over and keeping her head bowed as she accepted the package then continued running. I was dumbfounded as well... I felt some strange energy coming from her... it wasn't any type of energy I possessed as I'm familiar with demonic energy, hers felt different... dark, but not evil. I turned away and continued jogging through the park as if nothing had happened though, taking it as her emotions at the moment. It was a mistake though... about mid-class, I went full demon, thank god it happened while I was alone so no one could see my face, but a lot of people got hurt... claw and bite marks... burns, one college student was even found dead in the bathroom. It was one of the people that deserved it, everyone knowing he had raped women but no one could prove it. I still felt horrible for having ended his life though... I almost turned myself in as the attacker but the thought of being normal saved me... I couldn't do it because my dream was to become normal... well... I've rambled on enough, I might as well get to the exact time she changed my life.
I was walking down the street and saw her... she was clad in a black leather outfit, and black helmet and I had to admit, she was beautiful. She stood about 5'8" with a model like body, her breasts were about a 34 C cup, her hips round as well as her buttocks, and long heavenly legs. Now wasn't the time to think about her like that though, she was in trouble. 3 guys surrounded her and were slowly closing in. I understood that she was wanted by police but I couldn't let street rats do this to her.
"Hey, leave her alone" I said as I stepped into the alley, already pumping some of my energy into my limbs so I could move faster and more fluidly.
"Who's gonna make us?"
"I am you bunch of punks" I said as continued forward walking faster as they faced me.
Soon I was running forward and punched on in nose, making him crumple instantly. The other two were on me, but I was already charging for a spin that would push them away. I did exactly that, I spun around quickly with a leg sweep, my hands forcing themselves out to push the wave of energy into them. With their balance off they would stumble into the wall. Once they were dazed I quickly grabbed her hand and started running with her. Before I realized it, we were walking right in front of a cop who immediately started his sirens and began to chase us. That's when she started leading me through ally's until we reached a black motorcycle. She sat on it and pulled me on behind her and we took off.
As the chase progressed into a high speed pursuit, guns were pulled out and being fired. I took a round to the shoulder when she realized that I was a little bit bigger then her. She fish tailed into another ally, a bullet catching her right in the head and taking her helmet off to reveal that she was headless, her neck a torch of black flames. I wasn't surprised or scared... I was fascinated. It wasn't everyday you met someone that wasn't nowhere near normal, just like you.

"Thanks" I said as she wrapped my shoulder, her hands shaky but she continued to work on my shoulder, "Just to stop the bleeding, it'll be healed by tomorrow"
She stood up and pulled out a phone and started typing, the text to speech app soon talking in an angelic voice, "Why did you save me?"
"It just seemed like the thing to do" I smiled up at her.
"You aren't scared of me?"
"Why should I be, you walk around headless, I think that's really cool" I said as I looked down with a chuckle, "The black flames is a really nice touch. It brings an added beauty to the rest of you"
"Are you hitting on me?"
"No, I'm just complimenting you"
She seemed to be looking me over, 6'1", long black hair, blue eyes, thin facial hair, and muscular, wearing a black T-Shirt, Faded blue jeans, and black cowboy boots.
She slowly lowered her phone, slipping it into her pocket before she reached out and grabbed my hand. But she quickly pulled away, shaking even harder, "I know... you sense a lot of darkness within me, you should, but I'm not evil, you can trust me"
My finger tips soon lit up with blue flames as my transformation began, this time on purpose. The flames began crawling up both my arms, soon spreading over my chest and head and down my body. She took a step back as a large black werewolf like creature stood before her. With blue eyes and wearing the same clothes as before, but my voice ad changed, it became deep and feral, more of a growl then a tone or accent when I spoke.
"Don't be afraid" I said as I reached out and took her hand before pulling her beside me and setting her down on her bike, "I'm not to be feared as long as I don't let my reservoir fill up"
She pulled out her phone again and began typing, "What are you?"
"I'm half demon, my mother was a demon" I explained as I kneeled and started drawing in the dirt, drawing a weird Japanese symbol in the dirt, "In Japan I would be known as the Ookamiyasha, the wolf demon. I found out the day my parents died because I got so angry and transformed, I completely lost it. Since then I've been moving around until I reached college, the mass murder last month was my fault, I lost control in the middle of class... the same day we ran into each other at the park"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you to do that"
"No, don't be" I smiled as my fur fell off, revealing a full human form, "It wasn't your fault, though I was occupied mentally because of you, it wasn't your faut, I just lost control"
"Hope on, I'll take you home" She started the motorcycle.
I hoped on and we were off, "I live at the apartment complex 10 blocks east of the university"
She nodded as she turned around and started towards the city. We lived in New York City... it was a big city but I managed most of the time. It didn't take too long to reach my Apartment where she walked up with me to get a helmet I used when my dad used to take me on rides with his motorcycle.
"Here, this should do until you can one like you had before" I said as I held it out to her, "You can keep it if you like it though"
It was mostly black except for the white skull on the front. She was typing on her phone again, "Thank you"
"Don't mention it" I smiled as I pulled out my phone and held out the screen showing my number, "Here, if you ever need a place to hide, just call me to let me know you'll be here"
She quickly typed before surprising me... she suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around me, shivering but it wasn't out of fear this time... I could feel it. She pulled away and started typing on her phone once more, it was short, but she seemed to be very nervous as she went to press speak but pulled her thumb away.
"Don't be afraid" I said as I gently reached out and took her hand to steady it.
"Thank you, my name is Lustel"
"That's a beautiful name" I smiled as I looked at her, knowing she had eyes, "My name is Jake"
"Thank you" One last time before she left me in my apartment.
I heard the motorcycle speed off and smiled to myself as I walked over to the acoustic guitar in the corner of my living room and pulled it out of its case before sitting down on my couch. I felt like playing something sweet and soft this go around. I decided on a song that wasn't really suited for acoustic, but I had it tuned to where it didn't sound half bad. I chose Breathe You in by Thousand Foot Krutch. I'd always loved that song, it kept me strong when I was weak.
"I've always been strong... but can't make this happen... 'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe. The fear of becoming... I'm so tired of running... 'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in"
When I finished playing, I put the guitar away and went to make dinner. It was getting late and I needed to get some food in me and get some sleep. My dinner consisted of a cup of ramen, a bag of chips, and a soda. I was in no way a cook, I couldn't fry an egg to save my life. But my phone soon went off which slightly delayed my meal. It was a text message...
'Hey Jake, it's Lustel, I forgot to give you my number so you would no it's me'
'Not a problem'
'Am I interrupting anything?'
'No, not at all'
'Good, 'cause I need to ask you something?'
'Shoot'
'Can you meet me in the park tomorrow night, over by the fountain?'
'Are you asking me out on a date ;)'
'Yes'
'I'll be there, what time?'
'Around 7, maybe 7:30'
'Sounds good Lustel, I'll see you there'
'Good night :)'
'Good night'
I laughed, I couldn't help it... I didn't expect something like that but I was happy about it. I couldn't have asked for a better ray of luck to head my way. I watched some boring movie on TV and ate my dinner before going to bed, had to wake up early and get my jog in before going off to my classes. Which might be a bad idea after being seen with Lustel, who was wanted by the police, but I had no choice, in order to appear normal, I had to keep being normal, I'd probably come up with some lame excuse as to why I was with her if the cops came pounding on my door.

'Hey Jake, I'm gonna be running just a bit late okay'
'That's fine Lustel, I don't mind waiting on a woman :)'
'That's so sweet, I'll be there in a little bit, had another run in with the cops and had to get them off my tail'
'Take your time'
I sat on the bench in front of the fountain and waited, eventually pulling out my guitar which I had brought with me to the park so I could play for her, it wasn't to far a run from my car if I had to make a quick getaway. I started picking slow and soft, whistling along with it until I heard the rustling from behind me and turned. Lustel was standing there without a helmet and in a pink summer dress. My eyes dropped, it was a beautiful sight to behold in the moonlight.
"Hey there beautiful" I smiled as I pulled my guitar up and patted the spot next to me, "Come have a seat"
She walked around the bench and sat down, pulling out her phone and typing, her body giving away the fact that she was a bit nervous, even she didn't care to admit it, "Thanks for meeting me Jake... it's not often you find someone that has as big a secret as I do"
"I know the feeling, but hey, it is what it is, we can't help it, it's not our faults, but we have no choice in the matter" I smiled as I brought the neck of my guitar back down, "Shall I continue?"
"Yes please"
"I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am. Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times. I'm just the speck inside your head, you came and made me who I am. I remember where it all began, so clearly. I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way, and you created me, something I would've never seen. When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door. So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me. After all the lights go down, I'm just the words, you are the sound. A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me. And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire. You're the only one who knows... Who I REALLY AM!!!" The rhythm was slow, and the timing was perfect as I picked it up into the heavy chorus, "We all wanna be somebody! We just need a taste of who we are! We all wanna be somebody! We're willing to go but not that far!"
I went the rest of the song with this strange feeling in me, almost like I was having the most fun of my life. I was... I had never really been able to show anybody my talent with a guitar until know. This was someone that society labeled a freak just like me, we connected on a higher level then anyone else on the world would ever be able to figure out. Apparently I was really good at it though as she found herself leaning against me as the song was over.
"You seemed to really enjoy that one" I smiled as she reached out and started rubbing my chest, "I do know how you feel though, having to be alone all the time because you can't show anyone who you really are. Then you meet someone just like you in that department... but yet we're timid about it because we have different secrets"
"That has nothing to do with this though, sure we hide different secrets, but we're still alone and need someone. It's not that difficult to find someone if you fight though" She had typed, not pressing play though as she just let me read it, "So, will you play another one?"
"Sure, any requests?"
"I have... sort of a soft spot for love songs"
"I might have one for you then if I can remember how to play it though" I started strumming and picking between chords, "My hands are searching for you. My arms are outstretched towards you. I feel you on my finger tips. My tounge dances behind my lips for you. This fire runs in through my being, Burning I'm not used to seeing you. I'm still alive... I'm still alive" I was leading up to the good part of the song as the black flames of her neck became larger and danced around us, "I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing"
"I know this song!"
"My hands float up above me... and you whisper you love me. And I begin to fade, into our secret place. The music makes me sway. The angels singing say 'we are alone with you.' I'm alone and they are too with you. I'm still alive... I'm still alive... we're still alive. I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing. And so I cry... The light is white... And I see you... I'm alive... I'm still alive... We're still alive! We're still alive!" She hugged me with a shiver, holding me tighter then I thought for any form of female, "I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding onto what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing. Take my hand, I give it to you, now you own me, all I am. You said you would never leave, I believe you, I believe. I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding onto what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healed"
She just sat there holding me for what seemed like an eternity, shivering slightly, I don't know if it was because she was cold or if it was because she was crying, or nervous. I didn't care though as I put my guitar in my lap and held her. But she suddenly sat up though as she heard the sirens.
"It's okay, they're nowhere near us" I said as I took the chance to put my guitar away, "Come on, I wanna show you something"
I took her hand and led her to my car, getting the door for her before putting my guitar away and getting in myself. I started it up and started driving until we were on the outside of town and on the beach, looking over the cold ocean. I took my leather jacket off and put it around her shoulders as we started walking along the beach.
"Why did you bring me here Jake?"
"Because, we're all alone, and you don't have to worry about the cops or anything for a while now" I smiled as I reached out and held her hand, "You don't have to hide from them out here, you don't have to hide period out here"
"I don't want you to hide either then"
I chuckled as I started transforming before her, the blue flames burning away my flesh, leaving behind silken black fur, all the way until my long bushy tail appeared and my ears perked straight up into the air, twitching with every crash of the waves.
"I really like you Jake"
"I like you to... I got something special we can do" I said in a hyper voice as my fur rippled with blue flames. I was transforming into a full wolf form, though I was bigger then a regular wolf... I was about the size of a small horse, "This is my full feral form... I want you to get on my back and hold onto me tight"
"Okay" She tucked her phone away and got on my back, grabbing onto the fur around my neck as her legs wrapped around me.
"Here we go" My paws lit up with blue flames as I started running, my speed increasing until I was going about 50 miles an hour. She was holding tight as I made turns and jumps around and over rocks and bushes. Soon I felt her breasts press against my back though... and an arm wrap around my neck as a hand started rubbing through my fur, at this I slowed down and started walking back, "That was the fastest I've ever gone on four legs... I'm not entirely used to this form yet because I hardly use it"
"That was very exciting"
"Thanks" I said with a chuckle, "That means a lot to me"
"This night has been very special to me"
"How... I'm not that good with women" I thanked god that she couldn't see me blushing.
"Maybe not normal women... but obviously good enough to know how to show a woman like me a good time"
I laughed as I knew under my fur I was so red that I was putting an apple to shame, "Thank you Lustel... you're the first one to ever say that"
"Who knows... maybe I'll be the last one to say it as well"
"What are you hinting at beautiful" I looked over my shoulder at her with a large, toothy grin.
"Will you go out with me again?"
"Let me think about it" I looked up, squinting with the corner of my mouth curled, "Yes"
"Yay"
"Don't get to excited" I laughed, "I won't always be this fun to be around... I have my days where my feral demon side gets the best of me. I'm not saying I do anything bad or hurt anyone, I just get really aggressive and dominant"
"That won't be a problem... I kinda like a dominant man"
"Now look who's hitting on who" I teased playfully.
"Oh shut up cutie"

Lustel walked through the door of her best friend's apartment where she stayed. She was caught though as the light suddenly turned on and she froze in nervousness. She stood from the chair with her short brown hair in a mess, bags under her green eyes, her small body hidden by baggy hello kitty pjs.
"Where have you been and why are you wearing one of my dresses?" She said as she started walking forward, "And why is it covered in hair?"
"Relax, it'll wash, and I was just out for a while" Lustel typed rapidly, but her nerves causing her to go slow.
"Without your helmet... you could've been seen you dolt!?"
"I wasn't seen by anyone" She typed once more, "Now let it go okay"
"Why are you shaking so bad?" She went out to touch her but noticed the way the flames danced on her neck, "Oh... What's his name?"
Lustel could no longer shake, her secret revealed to her best friend, "Before you over react, he's different to... he's half demon, Ookamiyasha I think he called himself, it's Japanese for Wolf Demon"
"I find that hard to believe" She snorted.
"You have visual proof of something strange right in front of you and you find this hard to believe" Lustel typed slightly angered, "Anyway, his name's Jake, and the reason this dress is covered in fur, not hair, is because he went into a feral form and let me ride on his back"
"First, you have a point and you finally learned sarcasm" She smiled, two, if he's real, I want to meet him before I approve of him"
"Fine, but if you share his secret, I will beat you" She said as the flames grew to a threatening size, "I'll ask him if he can come over tomorrow?"
"Why can't we go over to him?"
"I don't really think that's a good idea, we're safe here because your family owns this apartment complex, he has no family period" She said as she walked away from her, taking off the jacket she just realized wasn't hers, "And for your information, he's the guy that saved me from the rats in the street yesterday"
"The guys that was on the bike with you... on the news?"
"Same one"
