Chapter 2 - prologue

It was late at night and quite chilly. A Beast-like body was on the ground. His nails were like that of a wolf, his eyes red. He looks terrifying and if not taken a good look at one could swear he was a demon. A woman in her late twenties could be seen wrapping her arms around the being on the ground, a being that can never be considered human. The woman looked disheveled, her eyes swollen and red, it is obvious she had been crying and she still is.

Just opposite them, stood a group of men in black, up to 10 in number, they were staring at them intensively with their intent written on their faces.

"Lunge Forward" Came to the voice of the leader of the men in black, commanding he accompany to advance with force.

"Please don't kill my son!!!" The woman begged with tears as she hugged her so-called son tighter.

But her tears move not the men in black as they advance and unsheathed their silver swords used in killing supernatural beings.

The boy shook violently in fear as his mom hugged him tight, her action saying they have to go through her before getting to her son. The half-human half-beast boy, of course, knew he had power but he just couldn't use it whenever he wants or should he say his power is the one controlling him and not him in charge. He would have saved his mother with his superpowers if only he could control his power, cause he knew his mom wouldn't mind dying before him.

"STOP!!!!" A thin voice yanked everyone's attention, and all eyes darted to where the voice came from.

A beautiful young girl about the same age as the beast like the boy, stood there panting. Looks like she had been running. The girl advance closing up the distance between her and the mother and son on the ground before standing in front of them as if shielding them.

"Please, Father!!!

don't hurt him" Said the young girl with her gaze fixed on the leader of the men in black.

"What are you doing Estelle don't you know who he is?" Asked the leader of the man in black. He was surprised to see his daughter here. Of Course, he knew how protective she is of this beast but he had personally locked her up making sure she doesn't leave the house she couldn't have found a loophole unless someone helped her, he would find out who later, but right now he needs to deal with this beast first and he wouldn't mind dealing with the beast's mother too if she insists on dieing with her son.

"He is the son of one of the princes of hell Estelle, don't you get that?" Asked the leader of the men in black. He just couldn't understand why his daughter is so protective of this demon.

"No father, he is different. He is kind-hearted, he only has that dark part of him and he's working on it" Replied Estelle refusing to be outdone by her father, she wouldn't let her father harm him not her Greg. Even though she knew she sounded a little bit naive, she was sure Greg would never hurt anybody intentionally.

"You're a fool, and have been blinded by him" Her father roared angrily as he unsheathed his sword ready to thrust, but his daughter blocked him as she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Run!!!!

Flee Greg!!!!"

And finally, the mother reacted, fortunately, she reacted quickly enough. she carried the beast like a boy and started running. The leader of the men in black became furious and commanded his men to go after them. Unfortunately for the mother and child, they weren't fast enough as the men in black soon met up with them but before they could lunch any attack on them the boy's power took over again as he changed completely into a demon-like being with two horn grew on his head, and then charged at them in just a short period all the men in black were down, badly injured.

The leaders and Estelle stood rooted in one place, surprised by what just unfolded before them. Of course, Estelle knew what he is capable of when he turned completely but never had she seen him unleash his might like this.

"Can you see?" she heard her father whispered.

Greg became weak after his power left him and his horn vanish like he never had them, his mom carried him again and ran towards the woods.
