Demon Chapter 4

Instructions

“G-Geramia!” Lamar said, his face turning slightly redder than it originally was. Toasty was what Geramia called him ever since they were kits, since according to Geramia, he was hot but sweet. “So uhm… I saw smoke under the doorway, and wanted to make sure you were okay. Well, not that I wasn’t gonna come over anyway!” Geramia said, quickly adding the last part. Geramia took a deep breath, his face getting slightly red. “I-I want to confront you about something. I wanted to know-” “I’mokay!Sorry,notime,andalsodef’no!Byyyeeee!!!” Lamar said hurriedly, slamming the door behind him. Lamar leaned against the door, sitting down. Was he too rude? —--------------------<(◍ᴗ◍)>—-------------------- “-if you could help me break up…” Geramia said quietly as he trailed off, knowing there was no point in finishing that sentence audibly. His ears flattened against his head, and his wagging tail fell limp against his legs. He thought that there was no one around, but it appeared that there was one. “YOU WANT TO GO ON A DATE WITH LAMAR, AND CHEAT ON ME?!” Shouted a familiar voice that sent shivers down only Geramia’s spine. Geramia whipped around, meeting the enraged eyes of a horrible demon- and girlfriend- known as… Lilly. “L-Lilly! Darling, i-it’s not what you-” Geramia said, putting on a smile. Though, there was fear behind it as he was cut off by the angered Lilly… Slapping him across the face and leaving a red mark. “YOU BETTER THINK TWICE BEFORE CHEATING ON ME!” Lilly shouted. Geremia was sent back, but didn’t even hit the floor before he felt… His tail being grabbed. He felt a searing pain in the tip of his tail, letting out a cry out from the injury. He turned his head, his face hot from the pain. Lilly had bit the tip of his tail off, as blood was trickling down it, and from her mouth. Lilly reared back, ripping it off, and spitting it out, leaving Geramia to curl into a ball. Lilly stood up, sneering at him. “The fact that I’m still willing to stay with a pathetic cat like you would make me look like an idiot, so suck it up, crybaby. Oh, and don’t think about breaking up with me. Cause I’ll tell the whole world that Geramia Crybaby is a little piece of labored trash who lies to get his way. I have my ways,” Lilly said. She then put on a fake smile, which was just cruel to Geramia. “Go to the nurse, Gerbear~” Lilly left, her furious expression returning, as Geramia got up. Geremia couldn’t tell, as he felt woozy, but he swore he saw horns growing on Lilly’s head. —--------------------<(◍ᴗ◍)>—-------------------- Lamar looked into the closet. Elizabeth wasn’t there. Lamar panicked. Had she been his imagination? No, Cole knew of her existence, and Lamar wasn’t lonely. She must have hid somewhere else. Lamar left, calling Elizabeth’s name. “Elizabeth! Elizabeth!” Lamar called. He was so busy calling for Elizabeth, that he didn’t realize he was being stalked right now by the very feline he hated. Lilly. Lamar heard a growl and a rip, making him whip around back towards the closet. There! In the black abyss of the closet, he saw two yellow eyes, studying him. “E-Elizabeth?” Lamar asked, a quiver in his voice. Then, the creature pounced, chasing Lamar. The creature was a tuxedo cat, resembling a cat from the human world, except it had red horns and a cross on its forearm. Unfortunately, the creature had cornered Lamar, and grabbed him by the neck. Lamar gagged, barely able to breath from the creature’s strength. He clawed at its wrist, but with no avail. His vision was slowly turning black. Then, suddenly, he took a deep breath, and coughed, falling with a thud on the floor. He heard another thud, and opened his eyes, holding his throat. He saw that, in place of the beast, was an unconscious Lilly. Lamar’s eyes widened, when he saw what was next to Lilly. Over the body, stood Elizabeth. Lamar couldn’t believe it, Elizabeth knocked it out? That easily? While he’s the one fit and she’s just some scrawny 15 year old? Elizabeth then turned to Lamar, and grabbed him by his arms, gently shaking him. “Lamar! Are you alright?! I-I was gonna hide in the closet, but I went under your bed! A-And then I heard you choking and I went out to see if you were alright, and then there was- was that thing a-a-a-a-and I kicked it in that weird cross part, and it turned into that girl!” Elizabeth said quickly, her voice filled to the brim with concern. Lamar blinked, and gently pried Elizabeth off of him. “I-I’m fine, just give me some air.” Lamar stated, rubbing his neck a bit more. It felt a bit sore. “So… Do you know how to change back into anthro form?” He then awkwardly asked after a couple of moments. Elizabeth shook her head. “No, I’ve…” She paused. “ I’ve never actually been pre-taught by my mum how to. Lamar raised an eyebrow. “Pre-taught? Can’t another centaur teach you?” He asked, confused.
