It was past midnight when the demon that slept awaken and seeked out souls to devour and kill. Laura Bondevik explored her assigned target, the demon which escaped from the mouth of Hekla. Laura was a supernatural hunter along with her husband, Egill. But this was a misson only designated for her
When she walked around the edge of Hekla, she heard a cry from between the coals. Laura rushed over the pile of rocks and saw a child with silver hair and shining violet eyes, wrapped in a pure white blanket. What caught Laura's attention was the fact that the child had sharpened canines, claws, little stubs on his head that were horns, little tail revealing itself, and little fragile paper like wings on his back
'So this must be the demon? A child?' She thought, how could a demon described to be man eating monster that commanded the other low life demon of the Nordic be a child?!
Laura pulled her sword and pointed it towards the baby on her arm, only to find out the little bundle asleep and stopped crying, nuzzling softly at her arms while sucking on his thumb, and since Laura is a good mother, she listened to her motherly instinct and pulled the demon child to a tight embrace
"... Maybe I could raise you... So you won't be like those damned descendants of the underworld... The ranks could use a demon by their side... " She looked down and saw the child hiccuped, little ring of smoke came out of his mouth
"But no one shall know what you are, I don't want them killing you" Her expression softened as she hid the little black stubs with some strands of his hair, she wrapped his tail around the child's body, only to find him whimpering when she touched it, turns out demons (or anything for that matter) does not like their tails being touched
"But what should I call you, little one?" She thought back for awhile
"Emil? Yeah, that sounded nice! You are technically Icelandic so that sounds nice!" She smiled softly one last time
"Welcome to the family, Emil" With that, Laura accepted a demon in her family
* Back at the HQ *
Laura showed her squadmates the sleeping demon on her arms, Elizabeth scoffed while Mari made a surprised expression
"Why would you bring that thing with you?! You were supposed to kill it!" Elizabeth yelled too loud, causing the Icelandic demon to cry in his sleep
"Shh shh don't cry" Laura rocked Emil calmly as the Icelandic's cry disappeared and went back to sleep
"What's the problem with it anyway? Imagine it Eli, a trained demon king working alongside us, protecting our ranks!" Laura persuaded but Elizabet was still unconvinced
"What if he started attacking our ranks?! No matter how many times you train it, it's still a man eating demon!" Now Laura lost her patient
"What about Mari then?! She picked up a vampire Progenitor from Romania and Vladimir got along well with Arthur and Lukas, not to mention he hadn't hurt anyone!" Mari blushed slightly at the mentioning. The vampire mentioned, Vladimir, walked slowly towards Mari and tugged on her pants
"Mommy, did you call me?" While Vladimir had enhanced hearing, he still couldn't identify sounds. Mari smiled and picked Vladimir up, the progenitor stayed for awhile until Mari whispered to his ears
"Vlady, why don't you go play with Arthur?"
"Artie was being a meanie! He broke Nikola's toy!" The Bulgarian was Vladimir's human older brother and Mari's real son. Mari chuckled softly, Vladimir could get really protective of Nikola even though the Bulgarian was the older one
"Don't worry, I'll get him a new one"
"Mommy..."
"Yes, dear?" Vladimir's face went red as he mumbled slightly, looking awkwardly at the ground
"I-I'm kinda hungry..." Elizabeth scoffed again hearing the statement from the Romanian, Mari gave her a death glare while Vladimir look shamefully on his own hands
"Later sweety, why don't you go back and play with Nikola instead? I'll be with you in a minute"
"Okay..." Mari kissed Vladimir's forehead softly before setting him down. Vladimir shivered in fear as Elizabeth's glare reached down his spines, the Romanian walked away
"I've warned you two. Those kids of yours will one day be the reason for your whole family to die"
* 5 years later *
Emil was now 5 and Lukas was 10. The two grew into wise children, and the only person who knew of Emil's form was his mother and himself obviously. The Icelandic became a powerful demon in the age of a toddler, shapeshifting and pyrokinetic were his main powers, Laura kept training him over and over behind Lukas' and Egill's backs.
"Okay, time for a rest" Laura panted as well as Emil. The Norwegian woman sat down on a log and saw a pile of woods infront of her
"Emil dear, would you so kindly turn the fire on for me?" Emil smiled warmly and summoned a ball of fire, the Icelandic then threw it towards the woods, the good thing was that nothing exploded
"Well done Emil! Mommy's proud of her little demon!" Emil purred slightly when his mother patted his head, still puting on that smile. Laura then bent down and stared at Emil's violet eyes sternly
"Emil dear... It's almost time..." Emil tilted his head in confusion, what does his mother mean?
"Mama... What's going on? Are you going to throw me back to Hekla?! Please mama, don't leave me there alone! Demons scare me and I don't want to kill!" Emil whimpered in fear while sobbing quietly on his mother's chest, tail swishing up and down
"No... Emil... That's not what I meant... I'll never ever throw you out! You're mommy's little demon!" The nickname at first brought shivers to his spine, since Lukas nickname was 'Troll' because Lukas associated more with trolls while Emil just had to deal with 'Demon'.
Emil tilted his head one more time
"I can sense it... My time has almost come... It's almost for me and your father to leave you two..." Emil could not believe it, was his mother and father going to die?!
"Emil, I know it's hard but it's going to be okay! I've taught you so many things, look, you even know how to fly! But before I leave, I have one request..." Emil gulped, preparing for the scolding he thought that would come
"Please... Protect your brother..." Emil could not believe what his mother was saying, his brother is a destined supernatural hunter, one of this day when his mother and father would leave, Lukas would kill Emil. But seeing the expression his mother gave him, he sighed
"Okay... I promise..." Laura pulled the demon into a big hug, Emil turned into smoke and escaped his mother embrace. Laura stared at the smoke curiously, the smoke emerged and turned into a white tiger, Emil pounced at his mother and started licking her playfully. Laura laughed, trying to block her son's warm plump tounge. They stayed for 5 minutes until Emil got off of her body and nuzzled on her arms softly
"Emil come on, let's go back home! Let's see... What should you shapeshift into..." Laura hummed slightly. It was to train his shapeshifting ability, Emil had to turn into different animal everytime they want to go back home
"Oh I know! Let's try a dragon!" Emil was surprised, he never shapeshifted into a mythical animal
"Come on! Try it!" Hearing her mother's encouragement made Emil quickly thought about what he would turn into next. Emil then turned into smoke, the black smoke started going up high and slowly turned into an Icelandic white dragon, Laura cheered as her son towered over her, Emil was as big as an elephant.
"Impressive Emil! You're totally getting that bag of licorice" Hearing the mentions of his favorite snack, Emil licked her mother slowly, due to size he needed to becareful or else he would swallow his mother accidentally. Laura climbed up Emil's back and settled down
"Okay Emil, up and go- WOAH!" And Emil took off faster than he should
