Here's the first sequel. Rated for reasons and…enjoy.
Star and Marco sat on Star's bed, staring at the mirror mounded to the wall as Marco narrowed his eyes. Star looked over to her best friend, now boyfriend and sighed as she shook her head, "Marco, if anyone can help you with your heritage, it's Tom and-"
"Did you forget he nearly killed me the last time we talked and-"
"Marco, you can't live in the past," Star sighed and shook her head again, "If Tom doesn't want to help, then we'll look for other demons, but right now Tom is our best choice, so try not to argue with him," Marco took a deep breath and nodded as Star stood up and walked over to the mirror, "Call Tom," the mirror began ringing and Tom's image appeared int eh glass, "Hi, Tom,"
"Star?" the demon smiled, "What a nice surprise, I thought you wouldn't want to-"
"Tom, this isn't a social call…we need your help," Tom hummed and arched a brow, "Marco recently learned that he isn't human, that he's a demon and-"
"And you're hoping that I can help him understand the demonic culture a bit better, am I right?" Star slowly nodded as Tom took a deep breath, "Fine, whatever. It's not like I have anything better to do," Star slightly smiled, "I'll be there in a few minutes,"
"Yeah…okay," Star ended the call before looking back at an annoyed Marco and she frowned, "Marco, can you two put this stupid rivalry aside for the day. We need to know about your heritage and Tom is our best option, and don't forget, we're going camping with Janna, Jackie, Alfonzo and Ferguson tomorrow, so…that's something to lighten the mood,"
Marco inhaled slowly and looked away, "I guess you're right…but this is going to take all of my willpower not to fight with him," Star hummed and nodded before the fire began to glow with fire.
The two looked up and saw Tom stepping out from behind a wall of fire. Marco narrowed his eyes as Tom stepped closer to the two and looked at Marco, "So, Marco…Star told me that you're a demon and that she wants me to help you understand the-"
"I was here," Marco inhaled slowly and stood up, "I just need to now about the culture and…can you summon demonic shadows?" Tom arched a brow in confusion, "My parents told me that when I was little, a couple of guys broke into the house, I started crying and shadowy figures attacked them,"
Tom hummed before looking at the blonde princess, "Star, do you mind giving us some privacy?" Star narrowed her eyes slightly and Tom sighed as he held his hands up, "I won't attack Marco, I just want to talk to him alone,"
Star continued to stare at Tom and Marco walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "And I won't attack Tom," Star looked at him in confusion, "I promise I won't attack Tom, and if this is the only way we can learn about the demon culture, then…it's fine…it's fine,"
Star took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, if you say so," lightly kissing his cheek, she slightly smiled, "Just don't do anything stupid," Marco hummed and nodded as Sar turned and walked out of the room.
The two sat in the room in silence, Tom's arms crossed as he stared at Marco, "So…you and Star?"
"We're not here to discuss that, you're here to help me better understand the demon culture," Tom inhaled slowly and closed his eyes, "So…the shadow figures…is that a normal-"
"For a certain race," Tom looked up and Marco arched a brow in confusion, "Like humans have multiple races, demons have five. You've got your most common fire demons, the troublemaking snow demons, the tragic loving water demons, the lazy spectating demons and the shadow manipulators,"
Marco hummed as Tom continued, "Each race is proud in their own way. Fire demons contribute to the underworld, making the souls of the damned live eternity in misery. The snow demons are pranksters and usually come out to play during heavy snowstorms. They'll either help those who are lost in the storm and find salvation, or, most commonly, they'll lead them to their demise. Water demons…that group is hard to read. They love making other's tragedies into their fantasies…I think a group of water demons were the ones who caused the Titanic to go down, but as of right now that's just a rumor.
Spectating demons study the other races, but never really contributing anything themselves. They say that they don't work well with others, they barely work well with each other, but if they are bothered enough, they will attack for a short period before retreating. All of the other races find that as a sign of weakness, but the spectating demons live by that moral and if anyone were to try and tell them what they're doing is wrong, it'll only end up in a war between the groups.
And lastly, we have the mysterious shadow manipulators, a group content of living their lives in secrecy. The only things that are known of this group are they can call upon the souls of the damned to do their bidden, and that they can use the darkness around them as a means of either attacking their opponent or defending themselves from something unavoidable. Outside of those two facts, the group is believed to be dead,"
"So are you saying-"
"If your parents were telling the truth, then you're a member of the shadow manipulators and those figures were the souls of the damned protecting you and your race isn't dead," Tom crossed his arms and shook his head, "So, Star and your parents know and-"
"A priest, the woman who brought me to my parents and two of my friends know about this as well," Tom hummed and nodded as he began pacing the room, "So…how exactly does this-"
"I'm not entirely sure about this, but I suggest you keep this a secret from anyone else." Marco hummed and arched a brow, "Not all humans are completely understandable when it comes to a demon. If humans were to learn that there was a demon living amongst them, all hell could break loose. Because they're your parents and two of your friends, they're more than understanding about the situation, but that priest and woman…I can't say for sure,"
"Great,"
"And one more piece of advice, and this is a lot coming from me, but keep your emotions in check. If something were to upset you, you could lose control," Tom turned and began walking to the fire in the middle of the room, "There might be five different races of demons, but there's one thing they all share in common and that's if they get agitated, they won't be able to control themselves," Marco hummed and nodded as he watched Tom step into the fire and the fire sunk down into the floor. Marco inhaled slowly before he turned and walked out of the room.
Star sat in the living room with a frown painted across her lips. Hearing the floorboards to the stairs creak, she looked up and saw Marco walking down the stairs, "Marco?" Marco hummed as he continued to walk down the stairs, "You're still alive? And what about Tom? Did you two-"
"We talked, he explained the different races of demons and…that was it. If we have any more questions, I'm guessing we could call him and ask," Star nodded as Marco walked up to her, "Now…should we pack what we'll need for tomorrow?" Star slightly frowned as Marco patted the top of her head, "Star, my parents called us out of school for the day so we could talk to Tom, and now that that's over with, we could spend some time getting ready for tomorrow,"
"Yeah…I guess so," Star hummed and nodded as she smiled as Marco continued to pat the top of her head.
The reason I managed to get the first chapter out so soon? Like I said, the ideas have been bothering me for a while, and this isn't going to be the only plot in this one. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
