Best Firends With A Demon And Nieghbored With A Vampire. What Could Go Wrong?

[Chapter 3]

Danny's P.O.V

I looked up at the ceiling. Thinking. I thought about a lot of things. I thought about how I am destined to become the Demon King. I thought about those two vampires that transferred to our school today. I knew they were vampires. I knew because of their scent. That thick, sweet, icy scent. Who were they? And why were they studying me so much? I also thought about Charlie…

I turned my body. I was now facing Charlie. I looked down at her. She was fast asleep. She is so beautiful. And she looks so peaceful when she is like this. I looked down, to Charlie’s legs and arms. They were covered in bruises and cuts. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists. How could Charlie put up with Lindsey mistreating her like that?

I sighed getting up. I wasn’t going to get any of my answers by laying on my bed the whole day. I stretched my arms and legs. I was stiff.

I left the room, looking at Charlie one more time. I walked down the hallway and headed downstairs. I knew how to see my parents. They taught it to me so many times. I was going to go through my secret portal and go to see mother and father. The king and queen of demons.

When I reached the long staircase, I got up on the railing and leaped. I landed swiftly onto my feet. I looked back up onto the stairs. It was a about 15 feet tall. I smirked. Well at least being a monster did have its benefits.

I walked down through the living room and reached a closet. I opened it quietly and went inside. There were coats of all sorts stuffed in here. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. It smelled of old people. I didn’t like it. I quickly shoved open some coats until I found a dark hole. I snuck into the dark hole and a few seconds later, I was in a different closet. I knew it was different because of the scent. This scent reeked of blood and of despair. I found some more coats surrounding me and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. I grunted as I shoved the thick, heavy coats aside and reached a door. I sighed heavily before I opened it.

I made my way out and was blinded. I covered my eyes with my hands automatically.

“Daniel! Oh Daniel! I’m so glad that you are here!” I heard a familiar voice shriek with joy. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me for a brief second.


My dark green eyes finally adjusted to the light. I was in the other world. I was in the castle. The castle where my mother and father lived. I was in my parent’s room. I was surprised to see that the room was so full of light. Normally, their room was dark and gloomy. I looked around. There were many people in the large room. All of them hurrying about doing their jobs. There were all demons. I turned my attention to the person who had greeted me. I realized that it was my mother.

“Mother.” I said softly as I hugged her. She smiled at me and hugged me again. We pulled apart after a short moment.

“Mother…what is wrong?” I asked as I noticed the dark circles that were under her eyes. She was worried about something. I could feel her body tense.

She looked over her shoulder. “Your father…he isn’t well Daniel, not well at all…I’m afraid that his time to perish is near…” she whispered. I watched as a tear rolled down her cheek softly. I froze.

If father was going to die…then that means that I will be king. King of the demons…

I shuddered. I was not excited about the idea of ruling this world. I grew so accustomed to the human world. Their safe, strange ways. I was so used to living like they do. So used to being with Charlie…

“Where is father?” I asked urgently.


“He is over there.” my mother said as she inclined her head towards the other side of the room

where there were many demons working. I headed over there immediately. It only took me about a second. Being demon gave you inhuman speed.

“Father…” I breathed out as I looked over at my father’s limp, fragile body. I have never seen him like this. He was always so strong, so powerful. It frightened me to see him this way, laying there helpless on a bed.

I felt a soft movement happen right next to me. I turned to where it came from. My mother stood next to me. She was concerned.

“Caius…” she said softly as she touched my father’s cheek. He opened his eyes. It looked as if it pained him to just open his eyes.


“Elizabeth…” my father whispered. I saw my mother smile but yet another tear fell out from the corner of her eye. It was so strange to see my parents like this. So weak, so vulnerable. These two were the ones who were feared all across this world, and yet, here they were crying for one another.

“Caius look. Daniel had come to visit.” she said as she looked at me. My father did the same. He was surprised, I could tell.

“Daniel…is that you?” he said as his voice cracked once. I nodded my head sternly trying to hold all of my feelings inside. If I show how much this was killing me to see my parents like this, then they will sure to think that I am weak. Demons never show their emotions.

My father chuckled. “It appears that soon enough Daniel, you will have to soon take my place…” he said lightly looking away from me.

“Yes father I know.” I said.

I stayed with my father a while more after that. I had gotten one of the servants to get me a chair. They did of course, since I am the prince. I pulled the chair up next to my father‘s bed. We didn’t talk that much. That was pretty normal. I just sat there in front of my father. And he stared up at the ceiling, never looking at me. He was trying to hold everything inside but I was able to tell that he was in pain, in agony. My mother had left already and there were very few in the room.


“There is something that I need to discuss with you…” my father spoke finally. His angelic face turning to me.

“Daniel…there is a prophecy…” he said. I was intent on knowing what this prophecy was going to be about.

“The prophecy has been around for a long time now…but it was never revealed to neither demons nor vampires, until now…” my father said. I urged him to continue.

“This prophecy states that there will be a war that will occur in our world. It will happen on the night where the moon disappears and it will be the darkest night of all time…” my father paused then, coughing.

“The prophecy says that on the moonless night, the new vampire king and the new demon king must join together as won in order to win this battle…and if it is that the demon and vampire king would not join forces, then all of our kind and the vampire kind will perish…” he said looking at me. My eyes were wide.


“But father…how are you sure that it will involve me?” I said hoping that I would not have to rule the demons into a world war that might or might not destroy our kind.

“Daniel…your name was on the prophecy, even your own blood was on it…along side with the new vampire king…” he said quietly turning away from me. I gawked. My mouth hung open. How could this be?

“Father…if the prophecy was made long ago, and you nor the vampires have ever saw it, until now…then how did our ancestors who made the prophecy know about me being born and about a world war?” I asked.

My father sighed heavily. He was furious. If he wasn’t so weak right now, then he probably would have hit me long time ago.

“Our ancestors were the most powerful of all time…they were very gifted…they even knew magic. They used magic in order to tell what the future would hold.” he said sternly. I didn’t say anything. I just got up and walked across the room. I was going back. I cant believe what my father was telling me. It was just too much.

I opened the door. It creaked in agony as I opened it. I stepped inside.

“Your going to have to face your destiny some time.” my father said. I gritted my teeth hard and walked through the door. I pushed at the coats angrily. My pulse racing. I wanted to kill. My anger was getting the better of me.


I was know in the closet of the human world. I stopped inches away from the closet door. I leaned against the wall. I looked up at the ceiling as I placed my hands on top of my eyes. I groaned. I then heard a door open but I ignored it. I just continued to sulk.

“Danny? Why are you in here?” I heard a voice say. I knew that voice. It was Charlie. I immediately brought my hands to my side and I looked at her. She looked at me strangely.

I racked my brain trying to think of an excuse.

“Oh! Here’s my old jacket!” I said as I pulled out a random jacket from its hook and showed it to her. She grabbed it from me and looked at it. She gave a disgusted face.

“This is your old jacket?” she said looking at me and then back at the jacket.


I then looked at the jacket that I had randomly pulled out. It was big. It looked like it would fit
a gorilla. It looked like bearskin. It was ripping at many different pieces. The fur of the jacket was even peeling off. It reeked of old. I hated it. I almost hit myself on the head. I just had to randomly pick out the most ugliest jacket out of all of them.

Before Charlie was able to say another comment about the hideous jacket, I quickly snatched it out of her hands and stuffed it back into the back of the closet. I sighed and walked out of the closet. I shut the door tightly and turned to face Charlie. She was still looking at me strangely.

“What?” I said as I flashed her a grin.

“Nothing.” she said and smiled back at me. She looked even more beautiful when she smiled.

I walked into the kitchen. Charlie followed me. I pulled out a drink and chugged it all down. Charlie watched me as she sat herself onto a stool. I drank and drank. I drank about everything that was liquid inside the fridge. These human foods never really filled me up.

“Well someone seems thirsty.” Charlie said after I just finished a whole carton of cold milk without hesitating to breath. I didn’t have to breath. My kind can go forever with out breathing.


I just chuckled and sat next to her. We started playing some weird hand game that we had made up last summer when we didn’t know what to do to pass some time. After about two rounds of me letting Charlie beat me at the stupid game, I got up.

“What time is it?” I asked.

“Um…” Charlie said as she squinted her eyes to look at the kitchen clock that hanged high above my head.

“It’s midnight!” she shrieked as she immediately headed for the door in a hurry. She was just about to walk out the door when I grabbed her wrist lightly.

“Let me at least walk you.” I said. She was about to protest but instead, nodded.


We walked out the door in silence. I hated the fact that Charlie was living with such a horrible person like Lindsey. I gritted my teeth at the thought of her. We didn’t talk much on the way there. We were just walking in silence.

A couple of long minutes later, we got to her house. It looked old and it looked as if it were about to collapse at any moment. I balled my hands to fists. Charlie noticed and so touched my arm lightly. I calmed down immediately. But then I still glared at the house. I used my demonic powers to let me see through the walls of the house. I saw Lindsey and clenched my jaw. She was talking to herself, saying terrible things about Charlie. She was also throwing things. She threw anything that she was able to get her hands on. This woman was obviously drunk.

“I guess I’m going to go inside.” Charlie mumbled. I looked at her then, she met my eyes. Her eyes were sad. It got me even more angry. Charlie noticed this and so shook her head. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back. This is not a part of my nature at all, but I have gotten used to the accustoms of these humans.

“Aha! So that’s where you’ve been you slut!” someone screamed.

Me and Charlie both pulled apart. We turned to see Lindsey stumble out of the small house and stumble towards us. She fell a couple of times as she could not hold herself up well since she was so wasted. My body was tense. I hated this woman.


“Lindsey, its not what you think…” Charlie began as she walked forward. As soon as Charlie was in Lindsey’s reach, Lindsey smacked her right across the face. Her cheek turned red immediately. I growled furiously which made Lindsey turn towards me.

“Hey y-you, how much your paying her? D-don’t pay her that mu-much…she’s a-a cheap whore.” Lindsey said smiling at me. I grounded my feet and entire body, trying to control myself. My mind screamed to kill her. I was dying to kill her. But I couldn’t. Charlie would be upset…

I didn’t say anything to her, so she just patted my cheek softly and then turned back to Charlie who was on her knees, holding her cheek as she glared at the ground. My head swirled as I stared at her. I was dying to look away, to try to end the a pain that I was now feeling, but I couldn’t.


“C’mon bitch.” Lindsey said lightly as she strolled into the house laughing. Charlie followed her obediently. I wanted to tell Charlie so many things right now. To tell her that I want to protect her. To tell her that I want us to run away together so that nothing would ever hurt her again. To tell her that I am the future king of demons…

Lindsey tripped and fell as she walked through the doorway of the house. She cursed a whole lot of words as she heaved herself up. Charlie followed, still not meeting my gaze. Charlie walked through the doorway of the house and finally turned around to look at me. Her cheek was still red. And my body shuddered as I looked at her. The sadness in her eyes were too unbearable that I ended up being the first one to look away.

I cursed and grunted as I walked down the street. It was dark and no one was out. I walked hitting everything that I got my hands on. I left dents on almost everything. There were dents on the mailboxes, street lights, everything. I don’t care. I am too angry to care about anything.

I was a couple of steps away form the door when I suddenly felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around quickly but saw no one. I shrugged it off thinking that it was my imagination. But then I heard a chuckle and so I put myself into a defensive mode.

“Who’s there?” I asked. Every word dripped with venom as I let all of my demonic powers take control.


“Calm down Daniel…it is only us…” an angelic voice said. I turned my head upward. To the roof of my house and glared. There on the roof of my house were two vampires. The same vampires that transferred to our school today.

Angela and Dylan.
