Chapter 1
"Demon-child!"
"Monster!"
"Kill it!!"
Stones were thrown. Many of them were hitting their goal- far too many. The small child with filthy rags as clothes ducked back, trying to evade the hurting missiles. Far too thin and fragile hands were raised in a failing attempt to protect a lost looking face.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
"Kill the devil!"
The shouts got louder, resounding in his ears. Soon, it seemed that the whole world was screaming at him, shrieking "Kill it!" with all its sweet, cheerful voices…
Realizing that it was cornered, pale lips parted in a silent plea. ´Please let me live.´ Those words were never spoken, the beg for mercy never heard as a particularly big stone connected with his jaw, sending the little boy tumbling back and crashing into some old dustbins.
"Hahaha! Look at him! The dirt has fallen into the dirt!" The boy who had thrown the stone cheered. Other voices followed his, cheering, laughing and snapping at him.
"Serves him right!"
"That's still much too good for him!"
"Yeah! Demon-child!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
A devil's plea didn't deserve to be heard. The underfed brunette scrambled further back, desperately searching for any sort of shelter against the howling crowd but not finding it. By now, the other kid's attacks had become stronger. Not only stones were hurled at the fragile form, but also sharp pieces of broken bottles and even some smaller pieces of metal. The boy sat crouched down in a corner, not being able to run anymore.
Tears stung in his eyes, just partially from pain. Why were they doing this to him? He hadn't done anything wrong. He had just wanted to make the little child a bit happier. He had never meant to attack it. He hadn't done anything wrong! A hard piece of rubbish collided with his thin arm, a sharp edge tearing open his soft, vulnerable skin. The boy cried out in pain- the tears in his eyes now visible.
That made the horde of other children even more furious.
"Hey, look! He cries!"
"Hahaha! Cry-baby! Cry-baby!"
"Ooh, has that hurt you? Will you now call your mommy? Too bad for you! Devils don't have a mommy!!"
The shouts continued, growing more and more vicious with every passing second. The boy crouched down even more, as much as he could, and tightly closed his large eyes. The other kids continued. After a particularly hard hit, he felt a stirring inside of him. ´No! Not again!´ Pressing his eyes shut even tighter, the small boy started shivering as memories started to flood his young brain.
He could see that man again… It had been a bad man. He had hit Nagi and tried to do bad things to him. He had been a bad man. Different memories started to rise. The man screaming in pain as his body got torn into pieces.- like two invisible monsters had gotten hold of him. The sickening sound of ripping flesh and the nauseous smell of fresh blood. Suddenly he was alone in an alley, the ground flooded with fresh blood. Inside of him were the devils, laughing at their deeds and telling him that he had deserved this. Nagi knew that they were wrong. Nobody deserved what they did. Nobody.
Now, they were there again, screaming in his head to lash them, to let them get rid of these annoying brats…allow them to rip their soft bodies apart. Nagi screamed. Not out of pain, but of fear of what he might do to the others. Nobody deserved that!
The kids just kept screaming. Picking at their seemingly defenseless pray, most of them missing the slight change in the air and the sudden movements in the dust. All of them failed to notice the danger that they were in.
"Kill the devil!"
Just as hell itself were to break loose, Lucifer decided to interfere, mixing himself into the players. A new soul waited to be taken.
Waiting for the final stone that would have triggered it all, Nagi froze. It never came. Hearing a surprised gasp, Nagi looked up.
And froze in shock.
