Chapter Text
Baby’s pov:
All I feel is pain when I come to. I can tell I’m lying on uneven ground, likely rubble. My head feels like it’s splitting and the rest of my body isn’t doing much better.
I groan and open my eyes, immediately noticing the absence of Gwi mas presence in my head.
I bolt upright but immediately regret it when my head pounds harder. Where am I? It’s dark all around, all I can see is rubble all around me.
”Baby!” I turn my head to see purple hair. Mystery, coming towards me.
”Mystery. What happened?” I push myself up, wobbly standing as he gets closer.
”Gwi ma is dead!” My eyes widen. “We’re all human now.” My jaw drops.
“WHAT?” I exclaim. “But aren’t we supposed to die when Gwi ma dies? Also, HOW exactly did he die?”
Mystery shrugs. “I’m not sure. But the others are over there, we should meet up with them.” He beckons me forward.
Me and him walk over to the other boys and…
THE HUNTRIX GIRLS???
“Um… what?” I question the guys in front of me. “Why are THEY here?” These lovestruck fools can’t even keep these idiots out of our problems.
“Baby.” Jinu rubs his nape. “Well, they found us when we woke up and umm we thought that since we are human now and we aren’t working for Gwi ma anymore we don’t really have a reason to be enemies any more and they kind of offered to help us and stuff.” He rambles on.
I glare at the Demon Hunters. Getting a mean glare back from the pink hair one, a nervous look from the black haired one, and no look from the demon girl who is currently staring at Jinu grossly.
“Ok.” I sigh knowing that he won’t change his mind, and the others are probably for this idea too.
“We should probably get going to our unit since everyone is here now.” The demon girl suggests. Everyone nods and starts walking.
I stay walking behind the group. Jinu and the demon girl are talking, the group is being lead by the pink haired girl, with Romance and Abby on either side of her. Mystery and the black haired girl are talking behind Jinu and the demon girl and I stay behind them.
Gwi ma is dead…
Im human again…
My past memories flood my mind again. Everything I had forgotten about my human life before becoming a demon comes back to me all at once.
No…
Im human again…
I can’t be…
Not after Gwi ma promised me a better life…
A reason to live…
Something to work towards…
I get pulled out of my head by Mystery, tapping my shoulder gently.
“you ok?” He asks. I nod slowly before he continues. “We’re here. The girls are letting us stay in their unit, in the spare rooms. Me and you will be sharing a room.” He explains.
I nod again taking in our surroundings. We are in a building, I’m guessing their unit. The black haired girl… Zoey, leads me and Mystery to our room, showing us the shower and giving us medical supplies before leaving.
“I suppose we should clean ourselves up then.” Mystery notes. “You mind if I go first?” He asks.
”sure.” I answer. He leaves and I am alone in our room. I settle into an empty corner, pulling my knees up to my chest and putting my head down.
…
I sit in the closet, hands over my ears as I hear two adults arguing outside. They are yelling, threatening to call the cops.
Suddenly I hear a door slam, then heavy footsteps coming towards me. I curl tighter into myself.
The door opens quickly. The man behind the door yelling at me to get out. He roughly grabs me, pulling me into the kitchen and starts yelling again.
”You useless idiot!”
”This is all your fault!”
”Go die already!”
I hear the glass shatter before I feel it in my skin. The cuts burn, all over my back and arms.
“Get out!”
I run out of the house with tears in my eyes, not knowing where I’m going, but knowing I can’t stay there.
…
The door opens, and Mystery comes back into the room. “You can shower now.” He says, picking up the first aid kit and looking through it.
”k.” I say.
I go to the shower, using the girls products to scrub the gunk from my body and hair. Finding scrapes and cuts all along my body, along with scars that hadn’t been there when I was a demon.
When I was done, I go back to the room. Mystery is scrolling on his phone and eating.
I sit down on the bed Mystery isn’t on, immediately sinking into it, finally realizing how tired I am.
My eyes close against my will and I feel myself drifting off to sleep before I can think about anything else.
