Devil Child's

Chapter 1

Under such a dark and cold night sky, a long-haired girl ran with all the strength she had avoiding the two men who just kept chasing after her. His hunting breath accompanied his every step because he had run long enough. Both knees were covered with blood, for the umpteenth time he had fallen down on a hard pavement. Several times he looked back, ascertaining whether the two men were still following him or not.

The girl turned right and before long, she saw a small alley not far from her, not wanting to linger, he immediately ran towards the alley and hid right next to a sizable trash can, at least it could cover his entire body so that it would not be seen by the two men. He covered his mouth and nose with the palm of his hand, so that his hunting breath would not catch him.

He saw the shadow of two men approaching him. The girl's heart was pounding as the two shadows seemed to get bigger, signaling the shadow's owner was getting closer. It could be seen, another shadow appeared and struck the two men earlier. Even though it was only from the shadow, he could see how brutal the man who had just arrived earlier, beating up the two men who were chasing him.

For a while the girl was silent, until hesitatingly and half in fear she decided to come out of hiding. Both of his slender eyes were wide open and his body felt stiff as a pair of black wings with a hint of blue flames adorning him, coming out from the blond man's back. The man saw the girl who was still staring at him. The man's face was cold, and had a sharp glare of eyes. Many people would be frightened if they saw that look. Disregarding the girl who stood still, the man chose to leave, walking in the darkness of the night. The man disappeared on a dark side of the building.

"Jovians?" he murmured slowly, as he remembered the name of the man.
