The rain pounded down from the heavens onto the prone form on the top of the dark tower.

Long black hair whipped in the wind around a pale, delicately boned face that was usually hidden by so many glamors. The black eyes shown with grief and pain as they looked towards pale, trembling hands that were held in the boy, no man's, lap.

Large black wings with delicate feathers draped down the shirtless back from where they joined in between the shoulder blades.

Tears slipped silently down pale cheeks as the boy made a choice.

As the boy stood the wings drew in before joining into the skin of the pale back, disappearing with a ripple.

Features flowed and shifted to become shallow with a beak-like nose. Black robes appeared on slender shoulders as black eyes became closed off.

Severus Tobias Snape, also known as the demon Diablo, took one last look at the black sky before heading into the tower.

He had decided. Lily Evans was to close too him. The other demons were rising again and the danger to her was too great.

***The Next Day***

"I don't need help from a… a MUDBLOOD!" Severus yelled at the red haired girl.

"Fine!" Lily Evans yelled.

Severus spun and headed into the castle. Minutes later found him back on the Astronomy tower, wondering if he'd made the right choice.

He thought of the rising demon forces and shook his hair out of his eyes. He'd made the right choice. Lily was safe now and would find another to love.
