The Demon's Halo
Chapter 7
Damu took us to a cave ont he top of a really high mountain.
He hasn't said anyhting in a long time.
"Damu, you alright?" I whispered.
"Kirai's gone...... Why her?" He whispered.
"You really did love her didn't you?" I asked.
Damu looked at me.
"You're the one I love Dawn, true I loved Kirai, but I was not in love with her.
She was like a sister to me." He sighed.
"But, she was in love with you Damu, right?"
"Yes....." I sat down on the hard cave ground.
"Why did she do that?" Duke asked, "Why did she kill herself?"
"She thought it was the right thing to do.... She wants us safe." Damu said.
"I thought demons didn't care about anyone but their own kind." I said.
"She hated you Dawn." Damu whispered sitting beside me.
"What?"
"She hated you."
"But she saved my life and protected me!"
"Only because I love you, if you died, I would be heartbroken. She knew that, so even though she hated you, she protected you when I couldn't."
I was silent.
"Won't she become an angel, like you did?" Duke asked.
I looked at Damu, but he sighed and shook his head.
"That only happens once every 100 years, and only to a demon who was never meant to be one. Kirai is 100% demonic blood, born a demon, raised a demon and she loved being a demon. When she and I were young, she murdered so many people and laughed. She has nochance of becoming an angel......"
"So..." I began.
"Kirai is now a lost soul.... doomed to wander the Earth for ever, one of the worst punishments you can get. You're not alive, you're not in Heaven or Hell, and you're not aloud anywhere. But if I die, that is what'll happen to me as well." Damu said.
My heart jumped.
"You're an angel though!" I gasped. "You belong in Heaven!"
"Not anymore! I'm half demon now..... When I die, I'll become a wandering soul, like Kirai. But for now, we need to focus on saving Prise."
"Prise? I thought we couldn't save him...." I whispered.
"He is not a born demon, there i a chance that we can get Prise's true self to come back, and get rid of the demon that took over his body."
"Wait, Prise is still in there?" Duke gasped.
"Not phisically, but yes, the real Prise is still alive, his body has just been taken over. If we can find a way to bring out the real Prise, I think we can save him from being a dmeon forever." Damu said standing up.
I thought about Prise, I missed him so much already.
"You told me this already Damu, but I'm still scared." I trembled and began crying again.
He glanced at me and walked to the entrance of the cave.
"Where are you going?!" Duke snapped.
"Nowhere." He whispered and began chanting something.
"What are you doing?" I whispered.
The cave groud began shaking, it felt like we were spinnign and all around us went black. I screamed a little, as Duke grabbed my hand.
Then all went silent.
"What just happened?!" I gasped, then I saw Damu standing beside another person.
A girl, she had red hair, yellow eyes and orange wings.
"What is she?" I whispered.
"This is Maisha. She is a summon. Only Kirai was able to summon and because I have her powers, I am able to use them. She can heal you Dawn. SHe is part phoenix." Damu said.
"Wow...." I breathed.
Maisha walked over to me and began tending to my wound.
"What does your name mean?" I asked Maisha.
"Life." She whispered.
I smiled.
"Maisha, I need you to watch them. Protect them. I'll be back." Damu said.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" I gasped.
"I need to go look for someone. Someone who can help me save Prise. Don't worry, I'll be back." Damu whispered, unfurled his twotone wings and flew off.
"Good luck." Maisha whispered.
