"I'm a demon bitch!" Damian roared at her. His fur begins to darken, his eyes turning full red.
Mary was stunned at him. She then began to carve an expression of disgust.
"Demon!!! Unholy creature! How dare you step foot in this sacred sanctuary!" She yelled at him. She immediately rummaged her bag and brought out a cross.
"Foul creature! Why are you here?!" She yelled and began to show the cross in front of Damian's face. Damian just looked at it not giving a f*ck.
"Lady, that's not how it works!" He advises her menacingly. It did weaken his power a bit though.
"And to answer your question, Kayla invited me!" He said to her with a little bit of a growl.
Her face immediately froze. She was shocked at his statement.
"H-how! How can a... MONSTER, such as you be invited! Lies.. Deceit from the tongue of the devil!" She exclaimed. Her freakout draw the attention of all the guest at the party. Some of them were keeping their distance, some had a look of horror carved on their face but they weren't afraid of her. Damian realised the murmurs and gasp from the crowd. He knew that they were being aware of him, though, he wasn't going to let it get to him this time. He shakes his head off all the negative thoughts that have been impeding him. He took a step closer to her and pointed a finger at her.
"Listen up b*tch! I'm here since I'm Kayla's friend wether you believe it or not! Unlike you, who's here to enjoy your little rant." Damian growled.
"Friend!??!" Mary was taken aback again at the statement.
"My nephew is an ally to the devil!! The destroyer of mankind! How can her parents let it happen like this! It's all because of the damn music!" She backed up even more afraid of Damian.
"Music's got nothin to do with it lady! Don't be dumb! You came here to be all judgemental thinking you're so great! A foul demon like me? Huh! I'm wayyy better than a person like you!" He clenches his fist and it began to catch on fire. Mary who saw this was so afraid that she stumbled back and tried to crawl away. She holds out the cross at him while struggling to crawl away. Every time she went further, Damian closes the gap.
"Afraid?" Damian mocked her.
Although, he was doing this just to scare her and had no intention in hurting her.
"Demon! You'll never feel the lights of god. You'll never earn anyone's love. Kayla will never be your friend!b" She then managed to stand back up and reaches for the door.
"This cursed family!" She curses before leaving the house. When she reached her car, she panics and struggled to get the key in before driving off full speed.
Meanwhile, at the backyard,
The guest were all staring at Damian. Everyone of them except his friends were afraid of him. They started leaving the party one by one. Each passing moment became a more hurtful feeling for Damian. In the end, no matter who's right or wrong, he always will be a monster. Suddenly, a hand reaches out to him and held his shoulder. It was Jack.
"Dame, are you okay?" He asked him with a concern looked in his eyes.
"Yeah.. Im fine" His voice shaking.
"You sure?" Jack asks again.
"Of course, I am. Nothing I'm not used to!" A hint of sadness in his voice. He then snapped his finger and disappeared.
"Poor guy!" Ashley said to Zill while holding onto him. Even though Zill was still mad at Damian for what he did, he was still sympathetic for him.
Meanwhile,
"Kayla, honey! Are you okay? Please honey, can you open the door?" Her mother was knocking on the door trying to call for her.
"Kayla, dear?" Her dad also tried.
Kayla didn't respond, instead she continued sobbing on the corner of her bed. In her heart, it has always been her fault. What her aunt said, for her, was the truth. Maybe in the end, her childish, selfish behaviour was the cause of her breakup. Question running through her mind as tears left her eyes like flood. She was afraid. Suddenly, she heard a poof besided her. She instantly knew it was Damian. She didn't hesitate for a second before hugging him, crying at his chest. Damian taken aback raised his arms letting her cry on him before proceeding to cover his arms around her. They stayed like that for a while. Her parents after a few minutes decided to let her cool off first and left her alone.
After Kayla calmed down a bit, she separated from Damian. Both of them stayed silent for a while not looking at each other. Damian sensed the uneasiness building up so he decided to speak first.
"Kayla... Are you okay?" He asked softly.
Kayla flinched at the mention of her name. Her mind was still cloudy and fuzzy and she wasn't able to think of anything to say. She just nodded slowly in response.
"Kayla... maybe I should leave. I don't want to disturb you. Thanks Kayla, and to your parents as well. I'll just... see you tomorrow!" He said before going to her window. He was about to snap his fingers when Kayla grabbed his arm. He turned back only to see her still teary eyes looking at his.
"S-stay!... Please!" She said softly. Damian than decided not to leave and accompany her.
He then sat down again next to her on her bed.
"Damian?" She called for him with her shaky voice.
"Yes Kayla?" He answered.
"I'm sorry..." She said.
Damian raised an eyebrow at what she said.
"Why would you be sorry? You didn't do anything wrong!" He said to her. She continues to sniffle and sob.
"No Damian. I did. What... m-my aunt said was true. In the end, I caused everything to go wrong!" She sobbed.
"Kayla, what happened between you and Zill is in the past and none of it was your fault! You know that!" He reassures her.
"Maybe it was my fault! I-I never paid any attention to anyone else. I was so caught up on my dreams that I didn't... think about others. Zill broke up with me because I spend to much time on music. It's always been MY fault" She began to wrap her arms around herself. She felt cold. Suddenly, a pair of warmth wrapped around her arms. It was Damian's hand as they held hers. He then put one hand on her cheek and directed her face towards his.
"Kayla, no matter what others think, it will never be your fault, you know better!" He advised her and proceeded to hug her, tighter this time.
"Damian, why?" She suddenly asked him.
"Why?" He was confused at her question.
"Why do you still treat me like this even though I was always afraid of you! Don't you ever hate me for that?" She asked. Damian took quite some time before he came up with an answer.
"Hate? Never! You were afraid of me and that was my fault, not yours. Kayla, I will support you no matter what cause..." He trails off. He thought of something and then focuses back and shakes his head.
"Kayla! I have something for you." He reaches for the pocket on his shirt and pulled out a small box. It seems to be a jewelry box. He than handed it out to her.
"What's this?" Kayla asks while wiping her tears.
"It's your present! Happy birthday!" He said nervously.
"Damian.. you shouldn't have!" Kayla said.
"Come on! It's fine! What's a birthday without a gift amirite?" Damian insists.
She then took the box from him and hold it in her hand. She just observed the box for a while.
"Open it!" Damian encourage her.
She then opened the lid of the box, revealing a ring with a glistening red gem in the middle. A warm heat emanating from the gem. She was surprised to see the ring but what caught her eye was a small, folded piece of paper under the ring. She took the paper out and saw a few words. Damian who saw this started to panic as he forgot about the note he left with it.
"Wait.. Kayla! Don't read that yet- Too late!
Kayla opens the paper and examined what was written on it.
To Kayla,
Happy Birthday!
I hope you like the ring and I for sure I hope it fits you. You don't know what I went through to get that ring!
Kayla, I wanted to say a few things to you but I never have the chance to do so. So, I hope you wouldn't mind that I write about it instead.
Kayla, I want to tell you that you're one of the most beautiful and talented person I ever met in my life. I always wanted to get close to you but never had the chance. I wanted to be with you but I never got the chance. I felt sorry at myself.
Until, you forgived me a week ago! I felt happy that you wanted to be my friend after so long. I know that you're still sad about everything that happened with you but I just wanted you to know that I'll always be there! I'll always be with you till the end of my life!
I LOVE YOU KAYLA️
Damian
At the the end of the letter, Kayla paused for a while. Damian started to freak out internally. He was afraid she would scream at him or ask him to leave. His mind started to panic.
Suddenly, Damian saw a drop of water fell on the paper. He looked up only to see Kayla crying. Tears started to flow down her cheek dropping onto the paper. Damian started to freak out more.
"Kayla, don't cry. I don't mean to upset you or anything. I just wanted you to know and I don't-
Suddenly, all his worries washed away. He felt a sensation on his lips. A warmth. He looked and saw her lips on his. She was kissing him. For a second, he was shocked but he then enjoyed the bliss and let it happen. Not in a million years would he thought that this would happen. They continued the kiss for a few minutes which felt like hours as they indulge in the passion. Kayla broked up first from the kiss and looked at him, sharing a warm smile on her face as tears of joy trickle from her eye.
"Damian, I love you too!" She confessed.
Damian was utterly speechless. He didn't know what to say. Purely out of instinct, he closes his face on hers and they kissed again. After a while, both of them broke up from the kiss and embraced each other.
"So..." Damian said.
"So.." Kayla repeated. Both of them giggled at it.
"I never thought you would feel the same way as I do!" Damian stated.
"Damian... To be honest, I used to think that you're a jerk!" Kayla said blatantly.
"Y-yeah. I was a jerk!" Damian admitted, looking down.
"But then, you changed. You became nice to me and the others. And for a while, everytime I see you, my heart skips a beat and I began to notice how you really are. A good person. That's when I fell in love with you but I was always confused. Well, it's more to I'm afraid to be honest!" Kayla said.
"Afraid? Of me?" Damian asked.
"No! Of me! I was afraid that I couldn't give you the love that you need. I didn't want to ruin our friendship that we had" She said.
"Kayla, you don't have to be afraid! I will always be with you, no matter what!" Damian promised her.
"I know! You'll always be my knight in shining armour!" She smiled at him. They both laughed at her statement.
"Well, you could say I'm your prince charming. Get it! Cause I'm an actual prince!" He laughed at his own joke while Kayla stayed silent.
"What! To cheesy?" He asked.
"Nope, just perfect" She leaned to him wanting to bring him in another kiss before..
KNOCK!KNOCK!
"Kayla? Who you're talking to? Can we talk now Kayla?" Her mom asks her from outside while knocking on her door.
Damian panicked. "Shit" He cursed under his breath.
"What?" Kayla asked.
"Your parents, are you sure they wouldn't be mad at me for kissing their daughter?" He asks nervously.
"Im sure they'll be fine! Come on!" Kayla stood up and dragged a sweating Damian with her to the door. She opened it revealing her mom with a worried expression on her face.
"Kayla, are you okay?" Her mom asks her not noticing Damian.
"Im fine now mom. Thanks!" She said to her mom.
"If you say so.." Her mom said. She then notices something weird. Her hand was holding someone else's. She looked up and saw Damian hiding behind her daughter.
"Damian!" Her mom exclaimed.
"H-hello Mrs C. Sorry for barging in your daughter's room without telling you first!" He apologized.
"No, it's fine. Kayla doesn't seem to mind it! How did you get into her room anyway?" She asked confused about it.
"Ohh.. I teleported inside!" He said.
"Wow, that's neat!" She exclaimed.
"Kayla, I think I need to go home now. It's getting late!" Damian said.
"Okay, let's see you off!" She said as she and her mom walked Damian outside.
Whem they were outside, Kayla asked her mom something.
"Mom, where's dad?" She asked her.
"Your dad is at the back, cleaning up the mess!" Her mom said.
"Thanks Kayla and Mrs C for inviting me! It was... nice!" Damian said.
"Your welcome and sorry for what happened between you and Kayla's aunt" She apologized.
"Its ok!" Damian reassures them.
Damian then continued to walk and waved back at the both of them. Kayla then ran up to him and before stumbling in his arms. She then draw her face nearer and kissed him. Damian didn't think about anything else and kisses her back.
Kayla's mom saw this and gasped in awe. She felt happy seeing her daughter move on.
They soon separated from the kiss and said their goodbyes. Damian looked back and saw her mother giving a wink at him. At least, her mother is alright with him. He then snapped his finger and dissapeared before reappearing back above the clouds. A large full moon displayed behind his back.
"YEAH!!! WOOHOOOO!" He screamed flying off in the sky, his arms spread out. His face with an expression of glee and joy.
"Thanks, Kayla" He mouthed before disappearing again. It was a meaningful day for him. A day he would never forget.
A/N: Sorry this took so long. My schedule has been busy this week. So yeah, I hope it wouldn't be this busy the next time but I doubt it. Anyway, enjoy, see you in the next one!
