She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 573: Boy from Hell

"Hey… are you lost?"

"Lost?" Damien thought to himself and furrowed his brows in anger.

He forced his eyes open to check where he was because he knew that he wasn't lost but was abducted.

However, the moment he flung open his eyes, his first reaction was to breathe in sharply in fear. It was because he was being 'attacked' by very bright light and colors he had never seen before.

His eyes hurt badly so he instantly tight shut his eyes thinking the shadow demon was doing something to his eyes or to his mind. And he shouted, "What are you doing to me? My eyes hurt!"

Damien was already thinking of jumping at the demon behind him and kicking his arse.

However, he suddenly felt that demon lightly caressing his hair. Damien involuntarily flinched at first. But it somehow made him feel nice. So instead of protesting, he kept on lying down and letting that demon play with his reddish-brown hair.

And that demon's soothing voice entered his ears again, "You don't have to be so afraid, kid. I'm not doing anything to hurt you… Do you mind if I take a look in your eyes?"

But instead of answering that question, Damien asked that demon, "Why are you suddenly being nice to me? Weren't you trying to kill me just a while ago?"

After a brief pause, Damien heard that kind voice again. But the voice sounded a bit disturbed, "Was someone trying to hurt a little kid like you? How did you end up here? Do you know where your parents are? If you are lost then I can help you find your parents."

Without opening his eyes or moving an inch, Damien asked nonchalantly, "What is a 'parents'?"

He felt that demon suddenly stop stroking his hair for a second but he resumed doing it again.

And Damien heard that demon asking him, "Do you want to come with me? You seem a bit tired. I will look after your treatment if you're hurt somewhere. And then I can give you a hot bath and some warm food to eat. Sounds good?"

"Come with me? Warm food?" Damien felt weird that that demon was offering him some food to eat.

"I don't eat warm food!" Damien swiftly turned his head around and opened his eyes to see if that kind voice belonged to some mad demon and not the one who had kidnapped him.

However, instead of seeing some demon, he saw some middle-aged male without wings and horns, and without a twisted body or clawed feet.

"Who… What are you?" Damien mumbled inaudibly.

He instantly darted his eyes around his surroundings. He realized that he was in some kind of bright place which he had neither seen nor imagined ever before.

He saw a few tall trees that weren't black and burnt. He saw the sky that wasn't dark and red. He saw the moon that wasn't red. And he saw clouds that weren't red and orange.

Everything around him was so unfamiliar to him that he felt really scared.

He turned away from that creature behind him and curled himself in a fetal position. He flapped open his wings and raised one of the wings over his body as if to hide himself.

He then cuddled with the deer plushy and he asked while whimpering, "What is this place? Where am I? And… what are you?"

That man was sure startled when suddenly a pair of wings protruded out of that normal-looking boy's back. However, he wasn't scared.

Rather, he felt the need to protect that peculiar child. From the way he saw that boy cuddle with that toy of his, he could tell that the boy was no different from human babies.

He took a close glance at Damien's wings and answered in his same calming voice, "You are in the woods of a place called Grazia right now. And I am a human."

"Human?" Damien suddenly stopped whimpering but he was still hiding under his wing.

"Yes." That man then asked with curiosity, "Have you never met a human before?"

"No."

Seeing that the winged boy was still afraid, that man then tried to gain his trust, "Humans are simple creatures. We love to live peaceful and happy life. You don't have to be afraid of me."

That man waited for a while to get some reaction from that boy. But after not getting any, he asked the boy again, "May I know where you came from? Don't you have any guardians… anyone who looks after you?"

Damien finally sat up and turned to face that man. Before speaking anything, he gazed at that man from his head to his toe.

That man had black hair and brown eyes. He looked a bit lean but he was tall. And the most important thing that Damien noticed in that man was that he had a kind face that very much matched his voice.

He felt that he could trust that man so he answered, "I come from the Hell realm. My mother looks after me. And I also have lots of servants and guards who look after me. But some other demons attacked our village and I got abducted by the enemy demon."

If that man was not looking at that boy's wings right now then he would have probably thought that the boy was making up some imaginary tales. But seeing that boy's wings and his confidence, that man took what the boy said at face value.

That man inwardly thought that the boy was someone important in Hell. And he felt pity for that child that he somehow wound up there in the woods.

And he was also thankful that there was no one else around. Earlier, one of the village girls had come running to inform him that she had seen an unconscious young boy in the woods. She had come to show him where the boy was but she ran to the village immediately after showing the boy to him.

After learning that the boy was from Hell, he further asked with curiosity, "How did you end up here then?"

He suddenly looked around as if he was anticipating danger and asked in a low voice, "And… is the demon who abducted you nearby? Did that demon bring you here?"

That man was worried that that kidnapper demon was still around and it would do something bad in his village.

Damien looked down at the ground and tried to remember how he ended up in this new place. "I don't know… I remember getting pulled inside some shadow and…"

A chill shiver ran down his spine because he couldn't remember anything after that. A very bad thought had entered his mind. But he swallowed it down. He thought of looking for his abductor and threatening him to take him back to his mother.

Damien got up on his feet and then without giving a warning, he flew high up in the air. He had gone up in the air to look for any traces of the aura of that demon.

But he was so mesmerized by the trees, the mountains, the sky, the air, and everything that he was hovering in the air with an awe-struck face for a good while.

The kind man got up on his feet and looked up at that boy. He was thankful that they were in the woods right now. "Even if the nearby villagers see him, they will just think that he is some bird... I hope they will think he is a bird."

He sighed and thought, "I just hope that he is the only one who came here all the way from Hell. I bet not all demons are friendly."

After a while, Damien flew down to the ground and landed in front of that man.

That man closed his eyes and coughed because of all the dust around him. "Well? Is that demon around?"

And Damien finally answered that man in a bit sad tone, "I don't sense that abductor's presence."

That man let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Damien suddenly furrowed his brows and asked that man, "Is this… is this Heaven realm?" He found the surroundings to be so beautiful and spellbinding that he thought he had died and ascended to the Heaven realm.

That man gave a soft chuckle and shook his head, "No. You are on Earth right now. Have you heard about Earth?"

Damien's face immediately beamed upon hearing that he was on Earth. "This is Earth?" he shouted excitedly. His heart was racing like never before.

"Yes." That man was glad to know that the boy from Hell knew what Earth was.

Damien flapped his wings and hovered right in front of that man's face. And he asked with hope and excitement, "Then do you know where Ariel lives?"
