Demon Diary

Shadows of The Past
A.N- Hey all, this is my first Demon Diary fic. I am so happy that there is finally a Demon Diary section, I have been working on several Demon Diary fics, but this is the first one I'm posting. Some Raeneif and Eclipse action, but nothing serious. I hope everyone likes, R&R. -Faith-
Chapter 1
Winter darkness had shrouded the castle it its icy grip. The vicious winds whipped the stone walls and the leafless trees savagely. The wind brought dark clouds that soon blacked out the chilling full moon.
Everything was silent within the castle walls. There was no arguing, Chris was not complaining of being used as a punching bag, and even the knife of the kitchen wench was silent. Night was the only time that there was any peace, even the wind, that usually blew through the open windows and down the many long expansive corridors, was silenced due to the magical seals that had been activated to keep out the winter cold.
Raeneif was sound asleep in his oversized bed, curled up in the masses of thick blankets, (which Eclipse had insisted on him having saying that he would be to cold without them) hugging one of the many large pillows against his lithe body. The burning embers in the fire place across his bed died away to nothing, making the room take up the same darkness from the outside world. The eerie darkness was soon pierced by a flash of light followed by the deep rumble of thunder. Raeneif's crystal blue eyes flew open and he sat straight up as the echoing sound of the thunder reverberated through his mind. The young demon Lords heart was pounding and his breathing was heavy and uneven. Sweat began to gather on his brow and his tussled bangs began to cling to his face. Raeneif's eyes began to scan the dark room, but there was nothing that he could see. There was another bright flash, followed by an even louder crash of thunder. Raeneif let out a small yelp before diving under the sheets and blankets. He covered his ears and closed his eyes trying to suppress the memories, but with little success. Tears began to fall from his closed eyes, the memories becoming more vivid and real with each passing second. "Eclipse" he whispered to himself, hoping that the other demon might hear his words. The only reply the teen got was the sounds of the raging storm, he was still alone. There was another loud crash of thunder, which made an already petrified Raeneif jump; he buried himself deeper within the thick mass of blankets.
After a somewhat silent moment, he removed his hands from his ears and opened his eyes. The young demon Lord sighed heavily before taking a deep breath. He was a demon Lord; such a night should not frighten him. "What would Eclipse think of me is he saw me in such a state? I can already hear his reprimanding words," he said to himself quietly. That was it; he would no longer be frightened of such a thing as thunderstorms. His mind was set, but unfortunately, Raeneif's moment of courage was short lived when another loud crash of thunder shook the castle. Once again, Raeneif was cowering with his eyes closed and his hands over his ears. He began to wish that Eclipse were with him, he wanted to feel the warm embrace, the soothing words, and be there to comfort him. But the teen knew that the other demon would think him foolish, and quote some piece of demon lord edict. Then again he might not, Raeneif was being unusually pessimistic. But pessimism is almost always brought on by a storm is it not? Raeneif believed it to be so; storms always seem to have devastating affects. More unpleasant memories began to surface, and he was almost reduced to tears again when he heard something other than thunder. Footsteps, unfamiliar ones to. Some one was in his room and he knew it wasn't anybody who resided in the castle.
A.N- So what does every one think? I know it's kind of short, but I think this is going to be another short story. So far I have enough written material for five chapters, so I hope everyone likes it. -Faith-
