New Life
I panted as I ran through the narrow streets of London. The wolves were foaming at the mouth, chasing behind me as fast as their feet could run. I stumbled and tripped, face planting on the ground. I could hear the growling get closer and I covered my face, waiting for the inevitable pain to come. I heard one of them jump in my direction, and thought, 'So this is how I go. Goodbye world...'Even though I was technically a demon, when I was frightened, I couldn't prevent myself from permanently dying. Oh, the irony. My mind wandered back to the wolves as I heard whimpers and scampering feet.
Confused, I lifted my arm from my face, and looked around. The wolves were gone and I could see a familiar shadow walking towards me.
"S-Sebs? Is that you?" The shadow stopped and I uncharacteristically ran towards it for a hug. It stiffened and then returned the gesture. I looked up towards my brother's face and saw the tears falling down his cheeks. "Sebs? What's wrong?" He shook his head and hugged you tighter. A voice called out behind us.
"Sebastian, who is this? Do you know her?" I looked over Nii-San's shoulder and saw a boy who looked 13-ish behind him. I waved and smirked at him. His eyes widened and then narrowed."Sebastian? Is this girl...a demon friend of yours?" Sebs hesitated and looked at me. I shook my head imperceptibly and sent him a look. I did not want some nosy boy butting into my buisness. Sebs turned and gave his master a fake smile.
"She is a very close friend, my lord." I inwardly cackled at this boy's gullibility. This is a fun little squirt...
"Kemi, the boy is suspicious. Don't be fooled by his rich, snobby appearance." Mara, my shadow and one of my best friends, whispered in my ear. My eyes widened and I snickered. This boy might be even more fun then I thought. His eyes narrowed further and then he noticed something behind me.
I turned and gasped as I registered quiet, pale, smirking Sheila behind me. I leapt out of my brother's arms and pounced on her. She giggled and gave me something we called "a bro hug". I returned the favor and ruffled her white, pigtailed hair in the process. She yelped and then looked over my shoulder, eyes narrowing.
"Aki, Cameron and Grell are here."
