18.

'Good, good.. the angel in you has almost entirely disappeared' The Devil said with his deep dark voice while he was walking around Danny in a circle.

'There's only one thing that still bounds you to your previous life and I want you to destroy it' The man continued, now standing still behind Danny. He then came closer until his mouth was right next to Danny's ear.

'I want you to kill him'

'Yes master' Danny replied

One day later

'I still can't believe Danny is an angel, that he's my guardian angel' Tom said while he and Dougie were walking to their last day of school before a week holiday.

'I know it's all a bit unbelievable' Dougie said looking down. In the corner of his eyes he saw Tom raising his eyebrows. The word "unbelievable" was obviously an understatement.

'I wonder what has happened to Danny though, we haven't heard from him since he saved me and that was a week ago!' Tom then said but Dougie didn't answer.

'You're really worried about him aren't you?'

Dougie nodded slightly and kept looking at the ground. Honestly he didn't want to talk about Danny, thinking about him 24/7 was already hard enough. He began to fear his thoughts as so many doom scenarios were created by his mind and the worst one was that Danny didn't love him anymore and didn't want anything to do with him ever again. Trying to stay positive was hard when those thoughts were eating your mind alive.

'I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation' Tom said trying to make it sound reassuring. But Dougie could hear in his voice that he too was having his doubts.

'Yeah' Dougie said with a weak smile. 'I'm sure there is'

The two brothers continued their walk in silence. Both of them lost in their minds, thinking of what could have possibly happened for Danny to just disappear.

As they arrived at school Tom and Dougie went to their lockers to get their English books. Only a few seconds later the bell rang and with a big and loud sigh they walked to the direction of their class when suddenly Tom stopped and Dougie bumped into him.

'Is that Danny?' Tom asked looking to his right. Dougie followed his gaze to a boy with a cap standing by Danny's locker. It looked like he was emptying it.

'What are you doing?' Dougie asked when Tom was walking towards the boy.

'I'm gonna look if it's Danny. It's ok, you can wait here scardy cat' Tom said teasing and pushed his brother behind a pole. He then turned around and walked to the boy.

'Danny?' He asked

The boy turned around while taking his cap of. 'What?'

Tom took a step back when he saw that it was Danny but it wasn't Danny at the same time. His silky brown hair was now black and messy and his eyes were brown/red instead of breathtaking blue. Tom stared at Danny speechless.

'What?' Danny repeated

'What happened to you?' Tom asked with widened eyes.

'What are you talking about? Seriously, do I have to know you or something?'

'Danny, you're my angel!'

'Angel?' Danny laughed. 'Please! Like I'm really one of those pussies from Heaven.'

'But..' Tom couldn't bring himself to say any more. He didn't understand what was going on and what just gotten into Danny to suddenly act this way.

'I'm a demon mate' Danny said whispering but grinning at the same time. 'Do you know what demons do?'

Tom shook his head while his heart was starting to pound quicker and harder with the second.

'We.. kill' Danny said evil and still whispering. 'Maybe I'll kill you.'

Tom's whole body became numb as Danny's words swirled around in his head. His legs should have suddenly started to shake as the hall began to wobble. He could hear his heart pounding faster than normal in his ears and tried to breathe normal while trying to wake from this horrible nightmare.

Satisfied with the damage he had done Danny took his backpack, closed his locker and left but not before giving Tom a wink and a cheeky smile.

As soon as Danny left Tom's legs couldn't hold him up anymore and he fell down on his knees.

'TOM!' Dougie yelled worried and ran to his brother. 'What happened? Are you ok?'

'Demon' Tom said staring in front of himself.

'What?'

'He's a demon'

'Tom, you're not making any sense.. Tom!' Dougie raised his voice but Tom kept looking straight ahead.

'Dougie? Tom? What's going on here?'

'Oh Harry thank god it's you!' Dougie said grateful

'What's wrong with him?' Harry asked pointing at Tom

'I don't know, he's in some kind of shock or something'

'Tom, is everything ok?' Harry asked

'He's a demon' Tom repeated

'Come on Tom, you have to snap out of it' Harry said worried while shaking Tom slightly but nothing seemed to work to bring him back to conscious.

'What do we do now?' Dougie asked, his voice sounding helpless.

'I think it's best to bring him home. He can't stay here, not in this state'

Dougie nodded and took Tom's arm and put it around his neck while Harry took the other one.

'He's a demon' Tom said again and kept repeating those same words all the way back home.

'You said that mate' Harry said while letting Tom down on the sofa.

'Thanks for your help Harry. I think I'm gonna call mum and maybe a doctor. You should go back to school'

'Alright, let me know what's wrong with him'

'I will, thanks again' Dougie said and let Harry out. He immediately returned to Tom afterwards and crouched down before him. He hadn't meant a word he had said about calling their mother or a doctor because he knew it was something about Danny that made Tom this way. He just said it to sooth Harry.

'Please Tom, tell me what happened'

'He's a demon'

'But that doesn't make any..' Dougie said getting frustrated when he suddenly remembered nothing about Danny ever made any sense and Tom might just literally mean what he is saying.

'What did he say to you?' Dougie asked, the worry in his voice was loud and clear.

Tom, who had been starring in front of himself this whole time, looked his brother right in his eyes while tears appeared in his own.

'He will kill me'

I know it's early but Merry Christmas everyone! And in case I haven't updated since then, A happy new year! :D
