Legacy

Chapter 16- Disappearance

"Why would anyone backstab you?"
"I said nevermind."
Was it just me or was there a edge of annoyance in his voice? Either way, I was annoyed myself that he wasn't telling me, so I didn't put too much thought into it.
"How come you don't tell me things? You know I would try to help you!"
"You can't."
"How do you know that?" I demanded. I knew I was pushing the limits. But I had to know.
"Because no-one can!" He snapped. I went quiet. I've never seen him angry before..
After a moment Solus sighed.
"I'm sorry, Ash. I'm just frustrated, that's all."
"I-its alright."
"I'll be back, just need some fresh air." He stood up and raised his wings, then flew off. I didn't realize how fast he could go until I saw it. Well now what am I going to do?

I was still waiting after 10 minutes, cleaning up the binders and papers when I heard a voice.
"Your friends with the angel boy huh?"
I turned and saw a boy. He had ashy coloured skin, black hair, and red eyes. But that wasn't what bothered me. He had a black, long, demon tail hovering just above the ground. The tip was in the shape of a arrow, except half of it didn't exist. His cold smile showed the hint of the famous demon fangs in his mouth.
A shiver went down my spine. There aren't too many demons left, and they rarely show themselves. Legend says that some of them have intense power worthy of angels... but it isn't common.
"w-why do you want to know?" I hated the slight quiver in my voice. It made the demon smile more.
"Because I want to meet him."
There was something in his voice. He wanted to hurt Solus. The thought made me upset.
"Well too bad, he flew off."
"I'm not going to play games. What's your name?"
I hesitated "Ash"
"My name is Alex. Now 'Ash'... Where did he go?"
I had no idea. But I couldn't just tell him that. I had to lead him away before Solus comes back.
"He flew in that direction." I pointed to the opposite direction he went.
"Liar" He sneered. Suddenly a skull splitting pain drove itself into my mind. I screamed and fell, clutching my head. I curled into a ball, trying desperately to protect myself in my head. All my shields did was lessen the pain slightly. Suddenly another wave of pain wracked my weary mind. I whimpered, shutting myself down in order to save myself. I saw the evil smile on Alex's face at my pain. Suddenly I heard a whoosh of air, and Solus landed in front of me, facing Alex. He had a sword out. The sudden attack on my mind abated. The lack of pain made me feel loopy. Was it just me or was Solus's sword made of sparkles? And his wings.. did he have 4? I smiled lazily, my brain recovering.
Alex had a whip in his hand. Then he suddenly--
