The Demon's Heir

by Germanhowl

"He will show his demon side later in life." That's what Sebastian said to Ronald 19 years ago. At 19 years old, Anthony Spears had finished his reaper training and still has no clue of his demon side. That was until a certain raven came and whispered it to him. The squeal to "The Demon's Mark"

10. Chapter 9

The Demon's Heir chapter 9

The months turned into years and Anthony had watched his brother from a distances. There he was. Standing outside his parents' house. His home. He gulped as he turned the key and opened the door. It was late and wasn't expecting his parents to be up, but they were. Both their heads turned in the direction of the door. Ronald wasted no time and embraced his son.

"What took ya so long?" Ronald asked, trying not to shed tears.

Anthony stood there like a statue, as he looked at his father. William barely recognized him; why would he? Anthony's eyes were now a full crimson red and his fangs fully came in.

"I'm only here to return something." He finally said as he took off his glasses and handed them to his mother.

Both Ronald and Will gave him a puzzled look.

"I don't deserve them. Guess I never did. Besides, I'm a demon now. I cant have reaper speckles." Anthony explained, though it was difficult.

He sighed and closed his eyes, yet he could still feel their gaze.

"Mama? Who's that?"

The child-like voice made the demonling open his eyes. There in front of his old room stood a three year old boy with a blond mop for hair. He held a blanket behind him as he looked a Anthony.

Ronald scooped up the little boy in his arms.

"Christopher. It's way past yer bedtime. Besides this man is-"

"No one. I'm no one. Just leaving." Anthony cut his mother off.

"Thank you for your time tonight." He said with a slight bow before leaving.

He walked out and disappeared into the trees like he always did. His heart dropped in his stomach, which was already knotted with pain and regret. This time, after three straight years he actually cried. One tear after the other until there were no more left.

"You sit there and weep like a lost child, yet you know where your parents are."

The voice made Anthony's anger boil within him.

"This is entirely your fault! I want you out of my line of vision, understand?!" The demonling snarled at the raven as he glared at him.

Sebastian nodded slowly; He understood that Anthony was hurt. "Very good." The butler said before disappearing himself.

Anthony was alone once again. This time he was completely alone.
