Chapitre 123: CHAPTER 122: Do something.
I stayed till against the wall. I was scared that if I made a move, my father would hear me.
("Should I just go in there and talk to him?")
I still was not sure if I should do it or not. I really wanted to. I wanted to be there for him again. so, he would know that not all of our family had died. I wanted to know how his life was going. If he maybe had found someone else if he was happy or not.
But the fear of him rejecting me burned inside my mind.
I was not human anymore. I had killed people and eaten their souls. I had been to hell multiple times. And, tough I did not like to admit it, the only things that really distinguished me from other demons was that I was calmer than them and could still form bonds with people.
The only resemblance I had to my old self was that my face still looked kind of similar. But that was only if one looked past my yellow eyes and pointy ears.
I listened to how the dwarf walked over to my father.
"Here drink this," The dwarf said in the friendliest tone that he could muster without making a joke out of everything. "Don't worry. It is just water."
After this it stayed silent for a moment.
"Who are you?"
"I don't really have a name. But I am one of the demon researchers that are currently working on improving the security."
"Then you must know of the demon that lives here! If we go now, we might be able to escape. We must warn everyone in Atlantis!"
"Sure. But tell me, what is your name?"
It fell quiet again.
My best guess was that my father simply could not believe how little the dwarf cared about all of that.
"My name is Dave. But please, tell me you really know about that demon and that I am not just crazy."
"Yea I know about that demon. He is the reason why I am here in the first place. He is quite unique if I say so myself. Not once in my many years have, I encountered another demon like him before."
I grew more and more nervus. Out of all things, why did they have to talk about me?
"why is this one so unique then? It looked like a pretty standard demon to me. wings ,horns, red skin, the whole package. And why are you not worried at all? For all we know it might be in the same room with us!"
"Nah, I asked him to leave the room for when you woke up. But I am sure that he is still close."
I did not like the direction in which this conversation was going. The dwarf literally just told my father that he had a connection with me. things like that could easily be misunderstood and there was a big chance that my father would tell Atlantis that the dwarf was a traitor. That could bring the dwarf and everyone else around me in danger.
"It is close?! Wait, did you just say that you told it to leave? How can-"
"I told you, this one is different from the others. I am sure that he wants you to know this, but he is probably to scared to do it himself."
I sprung up from the wall that I was leaning against. I could not believe that the dwarf was going to tell him this. He did not even give me the chance to do it myself!
"The demons original name is Gustave and he used to be a human. right before he was supposed to die, he had a mark placed on him that turned him into a demon. Honestly, I had never heard of something like that happening before I met him. And I believe you two know each other verry well."
"What kind of nonsense are you saying! How do you know his name! tell me, tell me you lunatic!"
Realizing that there was no going back now I walked into the room. The black claws at my feet softly tapped on the hard stone floor. "I am afraid that it is no nonsense."
I was surprised that I managed to keep my voice from trembling. I was so scared that he would scream, run, or reject me.
But he didn't, he just stood there, staring at me.
"Please, say something. Scream, run, anything! Do you know what it is like to suddenly wake up in a body like this? Do you know the things I have been trough and what I had to do to keep my sanity? I have seen demons ripping people apart. I was killed by someone I thought was a friend. I have literally walked trough hell. And at the verry start, I watched my sister die. Alice died right in front of me! so please don't just stand there. Do something!"
And still he remained silent. The tip of my tail was nervously trembling as I awaited his response.
Then he moved towards me. first one step, then the other. Then when he finally stood face to face with me, he pulled me into a hug.
"Even I fi am finally going mad. I am glad that at least one of you is alive."
