I hummed quietly to myself as I rearranged the the books in the fiction section, placing the last book in the slot, I moved on to the spiritual research section, returning borrowed books into their places. One fell at my foot, and I picked it up, looking over the cover. 'Demons That Were Damned Unrightfully.' I thought, thumbing the old leather cover. "Hmm.." I hum in thought. "Looking to do some research on the unrightfully damned, huh?" I look up at the sound of Maria's voice. "Hmm? Oh, I've been thinking about it, since mother and Kierston's death." I say, looking back down at the cover. "No one even knows that book even exists anymore, so you can keep it." The 59 year old woman says. "I couldn't possibly do that!" I exclaim. "Nonsense. Take it. Your the only person sense the first Supersoldier was created that's taken an interest in the book." Maria says, and I think for a moment before reluctantly nodding. "Fine. But once I'm done I'm bringing it back." I say. She just laughs. "Whatever you say, Love." Maria said, heading back into the storage area. I walk into the locker room, and put the book in my bag before going to continue restocking.
Once I arrived home, I made dinner for my father and his girlfriend, and then went upstairs, taking a shower and throwing on a pair of black baggy sweatpants and an oversized red t-shirt. I sat down at my desk and took out the book 'Demons That Were Damned Unrightfully' and started reading.
Aeson: Aeson was a girl that sought to defeat the evil residing within her lover's body, but instead of killing it, she just transferred it to her own body. At first she wasn't hardly able to control the power within her, but soon gained control of it. One time she was caught by a Preacher using her magic to heal her lover, she was arrested, charged with witchcraft, and burned at the stake. Her judgement was to become a demon for the sin of with-holding an evil entity in her soul for longer than a day. She is a Demonic Healer. Birth date: July 30th, 1713. Deathdate: October 31st, 1733.
I read a little more, before stumbling upon a demonic healer named Reiki.
Reiki: Reiki was an orphan, his mother and father too young to raise him and his twin brother. His brother was sick, with an unidentifiable virus. When infected, one throws up a thick white substance similar to foam, their skin goes sickly pale, and even starts to peal. The organs most affected are the eyes, heart, and lungs. If one survives the virus, they are forever blind and have severe asthma for the rest of their life. Reiki dropped out of school at 15 and started working on a cure. By the time he was 18, he'd still not come up with a cure, and his mental state wasn't the best due to losing his twin to the virus. He turned to the church for help, and when that didn't help, he went to Satanic worshipping. He was presented with one of Lucifer's finest henchmen, who helped him make a cure. It was used widely, but stopped needing to be used early 1890's, when the plague suddenly fell off the face of the planet, and Reiki was found out. He was accused of being a witch, and sentenced to hang. The day of his hanging, the judge asked him to explain himself, he smiled at the crowd before him and simply said; "I was no witch, just a 22 year old helping the people of the world. My only sin is caring too much for people who never even saw me." and at that, he was hung, Friday, September 13th, 1893. He is one of the most caring demonic healers out there.
"The symptoms of the plague listed, are the same ones that match the white death..." I mumble, grabbing a black notebook from my desk and writing the demon's name down, the symptoms, and his history. I place everything down in a drawer, and close it, before laying down on my bed to go to sleep after turning my light off.219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvtHMD0Bny
