Welcome To The Nightmare by S.K Nuanes (classic books for 10 year olds TXT) 📕

a lot. Fire away."
I sighed then whispered, "I'm not human."
"What?" Nina asked confused.
I looked around then said, "We should talk about this somewhere more private."
I stood up and made my way out of the coffee shop, Nina followed me up the stairs onto the streets. It became over cast, the smell of blood filled the air.
Shit this isn't good.
"Get to your car now." I whispered into Nina's ear.
She looked at me as if I was speaking a different language, a demon was coming very fast, if I didn't get her out of here, she would become a small snack to who ever was approaching.
"What's going on?" Nina asked, demanding an answer.
I focused onto her brain, her feeling, her fears, her wants. I would hope I wouldn't need to control a human like this.
She fell into the trance easily, I growled low, "Go to your car now."
Nina nodded and ran to her car, I turned towards where the demon was coming from, and jumped onto a roof and pulled out the sword.
"Come on, if you aren't to chicken." I snarled low.
A demon stood there, he had black angel wings, blood ran down from her eyes, her hair was made up snakes. She had on a torn black dress, she was skin and bones, she had no shoes on, she was 5'4, she had three rows of teeth, all of them were razor sharp.
She seemed like a angel who was damned into Hell long ago, she was crazy for blood, her eyes were pure black, her nails were razor sharp, and looked five inches long.
"Shame even a angel isn't safe from the claws of Satan." I said, studying the sword, not paying attention to her.
The demon let out a hiss at me, her tongue was like a snake tongue, it also reeked of poison, a human couldn't sense the poison she had in her mouth.
"Traitor." The demon hissed low.
I looked up at her and smirked and let the sword run on the ground, drawing a line I made a circle around her, "Oh traitor am I? What about you? A human, then an angel, and now just a puppet to the Devil."
The demon was slowly watching me studying me, probably wondering why I was in my human form.
Hardly anyone has seen me take on my true form; I didn't want anyone to see what I truly was under the human skin I wore.
"Why betray him?" The demon asked, in a hiss.
I looked at the circle then back up at her then said, "Why not betray him?"
She lunged at me then the circle shot fire up and burned her face, she let out a loud scream, which shattered all glass around us.
The fire made a dome over her, trapping her in the flames, the sword point became sharp and pure black, I felt Ayperos inside the sword, making it pure evil now.
"Go ahead, kill your own kind. Since you are to afraid to kill a human. At least have some balls to kill a demon!"

Ayperos growled low.
I narrowed my eyes and growled low, "Go to hell..."
Ayperos only let out a slight chuckle, at my threat. I slashed the head off of the demon, she turned to a shadow and fell to the ground, once she hit the ground there was nothing left. The flames died down and I stood there alone.
"This is how it should be, us alone. Killing everyone who gets in our way. Perfection is it not?"

Ayperos said, low.
I hated talking or having anything to do with him, I wish there was a way to destroy Ayperos, the demon who lurks inside my skin, watching me from the inside.
"This is how it should be, you in hell and me here without you." I said, letting the sword turn into a dagger, before I placed in into my boot.
Ayperos chuckled and mumbled something, I jumped off the roof, and released Nina from the trance, and she walked over to me and looked at me demanding answers.
"What is going on?" Nina said, narrowing her eyes at me.
I sighed then said, "Let's talk about this, wherever you feel safe."
She sighed and made her way to her car, I followed her to her car.

We were at a small church close to a river, with a old bridge, which looked like it could fall apart, the church seemed more like a cottage then anything. A cross was over the door way, a bell tower, looked like it was going to fall down any day now and vines covered the walls of the bell tower.
A sign where the words were faded you couldn't even make a word out.
"My mom and dad met in those woods, and my mom put me in the church to protect me from a murder. That...killed her." Nina said, staring at the church.
I sighed then said softly, "I'm sorry."
Nina looked away then few seconds later she looked up at me then said, "So tell me, what I want to know."
How could I word this?
"Promise me you won't have a heart attack." I said, looking into her eyes.
Nina nodded once, I exhaled and said, "I'm a demon."
"You don't look like one." Nina said, narrowing her eyes.
I had a slight laugh then said, "I'm in human form, but I don't kill a lot. I refrain from it."
It would be best if I didn't tell her who I was. And who I was related to.
"I don't believe you. You are nothing but a liar!" Nina snapped.
She got out of the car, and ran into the woods.
Well that is a killer line for a date, to end it.
I chased after, her and was in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.
"Get out of my way." Nina shouted.
I covered her mouth then said in a whisper, "Be quiet, there is a very high chance of someone watching us right now!"
She was trying to struggle, I looked into her eyes then said in a quiet tone, "listen, there are demons after me. And if they see a human with me. They'll probably kill you slowly."
Nina looked around, as if she could sense someone was watching us, there were a couple of Hell Hounds, they aren't the difficult demon to deal with, but they are a pain in the ass.
"Now walk slowly back to the car. Don't make a sound or you will be ripped to shreds before you can even blink." I whispered softly.
I took my hand off of her mouth, and she slowly made her way to the car. I turned around and exhaled, I never get a break anymore.

After the long annoying fight, the dogs were on the ground whimpering, I looked down at them then said low, “I assume someone is nearby sending you worthless pieces of shit.”
They didn’t make a sound; they turned into shadows and were gone.
I walked back to the car and knocked on the window, she jumped and looked at me and unlocked the door. I got inside the car and closed the door.
“Why are they after you?” Nina asked.
I sighed then said, “Its complicated, but are you going to tell anyone?”
“Who would believe me? Its not 1869. Where there were many Demon Hunters.” Nina sighed, looking out the window.
I looked at her, how did she know that?
In 1869 and during the Salem witch trails, many people knew about demons.
“How did you know that?” I asked, confused.
Nina looked at me then said, “My family, we changed our last name in 1920's. It was Grays at first."
“Descendent of the Grays? Yeah I knew someone from your family back then.” I sighed, as she put the car into drive.
“Who?” Nina asked.
“Can we talk about this, I already given you a lot of nightmares.” I sighed.
Nina stopped the car then said, “Might as well go all out.”
“What do you want to know?” I sighed, knowing I had to tell her this.
Nina unbuckled herself and got out of the car, she sat on the hood of the car, I got out and sat down next to her.
“So…how is it possible? You being a demon in human skin.” Nina said, looking up at the stars.
“Well, you believe in miracles and angels right?” I said, looking up at where Heaven Gates were.
“Yes.” Nina said, nodding.
“If there are miracles there are tragedies. That’s how the real world works. There are pure clean hands. Then there are blood covered hands.” I said, low.
“Are you going to hurt me, like a real demon would?” Nina said, narrowing her eyes at me.
There is the Katherine in her, I looked at her then said, “What would I gain from that?”
“I don’t know.” Nina sighed.
I said with a slight smile, and then said, "You have nothing to worry about killing doesn’t please me.”
There was silence, then she pulled out her phone to check the time, “Oh crap, its past my curfew.”
“How old are you?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I’m eighteen, but my friend is kind of protect of me. He doesn’t want me out late. He’s afraid of the predators that lurk in the night.” Nina said, getting off the hood.
I jumped off and looked at her, “Be careful, the information I have given you. It is forbidden to be told to humans. I would advise keeping a cross above your front door. And spray the air with holy water, demons may try to come through windows, but if the smell of holy water is in the air. They will be suffocated and die within in seconds. The cross keeps them out of the house.”
“How do you know all this?” Nina asked.
I turned towards he and had a laugh, “Well they teach us before we try and get inside someone’s house. Some aren’t very bright.”
“So you won’t kill me.” Nina said, raising an eyebrow.
I shrugged then said, “Depends, I may or may not. Just don't make me regret keeping you alive. Miss. Gray."


I finally got home, and the sound of strip club music greeted me, along with the smell of Vodka. I knew what was going on, I exhaled and walked into the den, there was Robert and Amanda.
They were staring into each other eyes, I leaned in the archway then said, “This is awkward.”
There was no response, I walked over to the stereo and turned the music off. Robert looked at me then said, “Hey. What’s up?”
Amanda turned toward me with wide eyes, and covered herself up with a blanket.
Robert grabbed his pants, and zipped them up I looked at Amanda then said, “Can you step outside, for a minute?”
She nodded and left the room and went out on the doorstep.
“Tell me, why you have turned my living room into a strip club.” I said, tapping my fingers on the sofa arm.
“Well, why were you out past your curfew?” Robert asked, putting his shirt on.
“Why do you care?” I asked, rolling my eyes.
He shrugged then said with a laugh, “Well with demons coming at you left and right. Can’t a friend worry?”
“Friend is such a strong word, but so is enemy.” I whispered low.
Robert sat down in one of the chairs, “So tell me why I can smell a human on you?”
“I am allowed to socialize with humans.” I said, sitting on the arm of a chair.
“I mean, you were bonding with someone.” Robert said, with a laugh.
I shrugged then asked, “What if I was?"
“Well, I guess its
