Chapter two:

I walk through the forest and I come up at the side of the backyard of the orphanage that isn't fenced. I hear some commotion so I look to whats going on.

Theres a boy with a pointy chin, flat greasy brown hair that goes to the tips of his ears and the same length all the way around. His hazel eyes looks like hes laughing at the one hes looking at. He's wearing grey sweat pants and a blue tank top. He has a group of people surrounding the poor person in the middle of them.

I step closer trying to peer over them to see who they are picking on.

There is a boy about my chest height who has brown hair that looks well taken care of and falls in just the right way to make him good looking. He has sea blue eyes and a navy blue pull over hoodie with slightly baggy jeans. He looks around him with a hard cold look. "Whatever. Just get out of my way." He says taking a step forward. His feet are covered by black runners.

"No." The pointy chin boy growls. "Freak." He chuckles for a short time. "You must be sleeping with Rodger to get him to give you good grades. Hm?"

"Wrong." The so called freak boy snorts. "That's you. I happen to be smart enough to get good grades." He tries to push his way through the crowd but is thrown back into the middle.

Two of the kids grab him and the pointy chin boy starts attacking the so called freak boy as the other two make sure he cant fight back.

My eyes meet the so called freak boy's for about three seconds and that's when I get the feeling that I must save him! I can feel that he is my mate! I push through the crowd and as soon as I reach the middle I approach pointy chin boy from behind.

When a demon finds out who their mate is they can tell just by looking into their eyes and you don't hurt a demons mate cause you'll be messing with a nightmare.

To tell the truth no other demon has found their mate in a human.

Dad forbids it cause he thinks that all humans have angel pieces in them and angels are our worst enemy obviously.

But having an angel piece makes you really good. So not all humans have it but they are only kind because the one who first made humans was the leader of the angels God so they all have some good in them. Weither they lose it or not is up to what they do in life.

I grab pointy chin boys arm stopping him from punching my mates face again.

"What the hell!" He snaps his head to look to me. "Let go of me!" He tries to pull away from me but I grip him tighter. His arm suddenly starts burning under my hand.

Well a demon can lower their temperature so its safe to touch a human but only with the right knowledge and practice so its uncommon for us.

He screams and jumps away from me as I let go of his now severely burned arm.

"Leave him alone and never touch him again or you'll have to deal with me!" I snarl then smirk. "You know what. How about I show you what happens when you mess with me?" I grab a dagger I keep in my pocket just in case I have to fight an angel as it's the only thing we demons can use to kill them.

Pointy chin boy inspects his arm then looks to me. "A freak!" He growls. "You are not only the freak over theres lover but somehow used fire while holding me and burned me! You'll pay for that!" He rushes towards me with his hand connected to his unhurt arm ready to punch me.

I narrow my eyes and I rush forward stabbing him in the stomach. I use my powers to slowly drain his soul from his body sending it to Hell but only I can see the blue sand like things coming from his body that's his soul seeping out of his body. I am doing it slowly to let him go through the pain and to make it as torturing as possible. I lean close and whisper in his ear as I know he will be dead and in Hell soon. "Never mess with a demons mate. Hope you enjoy your time in Hell." I pull back taking my dagger out of his stomach as I back away from him a few steps.

He looks to me with wide eyes then he collapses dead on the ground.

I turn to the two holding my mate and I walk towards them with a pissed look. "You do not touch him!" I growl.

They let go of my mate and back away with terrified eyes only to turn running away like the rest of the crowd.

I put my dagger away and I turn to my mate. I blink suddenly remembering I have the ability to see names and life spans as a demon. I look above the boys head.

Always After.

6 years 3 days 15 hours 7 minutes and 37 seconds.

His life span is going down at the same rate as time but that's what I read when I first read it.

I look to his face.

He is brushing himself off. "Yeah thanks. But that wasn't needed. I can take care of myself."

I smile thinking that he reminds me of myself and reminds me of what I like in others. "Well it didn't look that way to me. I admire you're courage but I think you'd be in bad shape had I not come along."

He looks to me coldly. "Yeah yeah." He turns ready to walk away. "Whatever. I could have recovered."

I saw inner conflict inside his eyes, I bet most would have missed that! "Well I am Beyond Birthday. The one you are destined to be with." I go towards him lowering my body temperature so its safe for him to touch me. "I have nothing to hide from you so I will tell you everything about me. You are my mate and that's why I will not hide anything."

He spins around on his heels and locks eyes with me as he seems to be looking for something in my eyes. "Listen. I have no idea who you are so don't go around saying were mates or soul mates or whatever you want to call it. You should go to the Looney bin where you came from."

"I assure you I am not from the place where the humans that have lost it go." I assure him. "I am actually from another place outside of this world. I come from Hell, I am a demon. I am the son of Satan the ruler of Hell. As a demon I can not only change my look and voice to whatever human I choose. I feed off of love strangely enough. Love gives us demons power and feeds us even though we can eat normal food. I find it weird and doesn't exactly make sense. Why not feed off peoples feelings of suffering? However we don't feed off of the love between two demons and the love between ourselves and our mates. So I wont feed off of you. Feeding off our own love it'd be like eating your own poo and pee only. If you get what I mean by that which I'm sure you do. Plus feeding off the one you love isn't right no matter who or what you are. We come to Earth to feed in any way we can as long as we don't reveal ourselves to humans. My dad doesn't like a relationship between a demon and a human but fuck him. Old codger. Any questions you have I will answer honestly." I watch as his facial expression changes to contemplation. "One moment." I go to the boys body and I throw a ball of fire, that demons can just make appear whenever, at it burning it then I go back to Always only to grab his arm pulling him into the forest. I stop and let go of him turning to face him. "I'll show you what I cant and wont show any other human." I spread my wings for him to see.

He looks at them and me taking my whole look wings and all. "You really are a demon."

I nod folding my wings half way and I walk over to him. "As a demon I can tell when I meet my mate just by looking into their eyes." I tell him as I wrap my arms and wings around him. "I love you. Always After. I can see names and life spans but a curse is put on demons by angels so we cant tell humans their life spans."

He steps away from me. "I want to get to know each other before we make this love official."

I nod. "I understand. I didn't expect it to be an automatic relationship since you're a human so I will wait for as long as it takes to be with you."

He blinks and leads the way back but we stay in the bushes as we see a commotion going on.
