Chapter 5 - Avaloth the poopy curse giver
"You bastard!" Donovon shouted as he took the wooden stick and was about to swung it toward Andrew's face, but suddenly, he swung it back and hit his own head. He fell on the ground and looked at his hands with a confused face.
"You have some weird friends, Chad." Andrew remarked, looking at the boy with a gap in his mouth.
Chad and others looked at him who were equally confused. "What the hell are you doing, man?" Chad asked.
Donovon looked at him and said, "I didn't do it. The stick flew back at me on its own."
All of them looked at him like he had grown a second head on his shoulders.
But Andrew was certain he was going for the kill. He could feel the stick was about to hit him yet it didn't. Strange...
Chad looked back at Andrew and caught his collars as he threatened, "You will call back Mr Wallace and will tell him that it was all a joke."
"And why would I do that?" He raised a brow.
"Otherwise I'm gonna smash that pretty face of yours."
Andrew scoffed. "You might as well try that."
Chad's jaw muscles shifted and he fisted one of his palms. He was about to punch him on the face but suddenly, his fist twisted to its own and he punched himself on his nose.
"Ow!" He caught his nose with both of his palms and stepped back in pain while his other friends looked him with gaps forming in their mouths.
A laughter echoed from behind Andrew as everyone's eyes shifted to the source. Andrew stiffened because he knew who it was.
"You have some funny friends, Andrew McAllen." The devil peeked from behind him as the other guys looked at her with startled faces.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Andrew asked through gritted teeth because they would know about her being a devil. He had guessed that previous two incidents were all because of her.
"I came to save you." The girl announced with a smug face as Andrew's jaw muscles clenched and the other guys started to laugh.
"Hahaha. Now what? You will hide behind your girlfriend, Mr topper? That something we should have expected." Donovon mocked as he stood up and eyed the devil from tip to toe.
"She is some cute chick." He commented as he came near, his eyes glinted evilly.
"Back off! You all reek as dirty laundries." The devil cringed her nose at them and stood in front of Andrew as if she was a little warrior in a shiny armour--or in a white dress.
The guys seemed to get agitated but seeing a small girl standing with her hands crossing above her chest seemed funny as they laughed. They all were taller than her and even though she raised her chin in the air, she wasn't intimidating them at all. It looked more like a little bunny was surrounded by wolves.
Andrew caught her arm and yanked her to his side as he said in a lower voice, "What are you doing? Just go back and I don't need you to save me!"
"You should be thanking me that I helped you just now." She pouted her cheek, "Yet you are saying me to go back."
Andrew tapped his temple as his plans were all ruined now that she had come and not only that, they would certainly assume that she was some sort of devil because the two things happened just now weren't normal. And if she used her powers again then...
"Oh, Andrew. You didn't tell me that you got a girlfriend now." Chad said and it seemed he got over with his pain as he came near and caught the devil's wrist. He pulled her toward him as she hissed and Andrew saw her eyes turning hollow.
Shit! No! No no!
"Wait!" Andrew said as the devil and Chad both looked at him. "She has nothing to do anything with us. Leave her."
Chad seemed to get the wrong idea as he grinned. He must be thinking he got the upper hand now because he caught his girlfriend.
Andrew saw her eyes hadn't turned into hollows yet.
"Eh? But I thought she has come here to save you... But now, who's gonna save her?" He said as all of his friends grinned victoriously.
The devil scowled at Chad as she tried to free her hand with failed attempts. "You! Dirty poopilious human! Now I have to go shower with Hell's holy fire to purify me. Loose my hands, you big pooped pig!"
As the devil's mouth started to throw all sorts of poopy curses at Chad, he seemed to get annoyed by them as he growled. "You woman! Can't you just stay put!"
"Loose my hand, you poop face with dirty mold dish like breath!"
Andrew felt like face palming himself. They looked like children fighting over toys. Now he was sure that the devil had no physical strength as she was struggling to free from Chad and failing miserably. He had never seen a devil this weak. Well, he had never seen any devils fighting like a child either.
"Enough!" Chad hissed as he twisted her arm and a yelp came out of the devil's mouth. "You bitch! You should be taught a lesson!"
As an answer, the devil scratched his face with her free hand as four marks appeared on his face artistically. Chad immediately let go of her hand and let out a cry of pain. Now his face heated with anger and vapour rising from the four scratched mark that the girl left on his handsome face. He ordered his minions, "Get the girl! She should know who I am!"
The devil still didn't falter back as she stood at her place with her nose raising in the air. She put her hands on her hips as the guys started to close the distance.
"She doesn't even have shoes." One of them noted in a mocking tone.
Chad said with a wicked grin, "Oh, don't worry, she wouldn't need them anyways."
"Who needs shoes when my feet are enough to smash your faces!" She said.
"Oh, we will see what happens when I get you to my bed, sl**." Chad said as his grin broadened but it didn't last long as his face collided with a hard fist which belonged to Andrew and two teeth flew out of his mouth along with a spit of blood.
The others stepped back instinctively as Andrew's body shielded the devil and a menacing aura sipping out of him. His face darkened as he fisted his palms, slowly raising his chin. A dark grin crawled on his lips as he said with a dangerous tone, "I will see who goes to your bed."
Chad looked at him with his eyes widening in fear as the others stepped back warily. They had never seen Andrew to raise his fists. He had never fought with anyone. Giving his piece of mind, yes, but never had he ever indulged himself in a catfight. But turning the clean image he had for all those years into ashes for a girl made them shiver.
Andrew took a step as Chad staggered back on the ground and he stammered, "You—you can't beat us! Mr Wallace would know and you—you would get suspended!"
Andrew grinned, a dangerous glint playing in his eyes. "And how will he know when there are no cctv present here?"
At that moment, Chad's eyes bulged out of their sockets because wasn't this why they had chosen this place with no cameras to witness them? But he hadn't expected the table to turn at 180 degrees.
Andrew took another step. "All he has your voices recorded in his phone and mine. So..." He cracked his knuckles. "Who's going to get suspended again?"
The others ran away immediately as Chad shouted, "You cowards!" And he somehow managed to stand up and ran as if his tail caught in fire.
"Wow! That was easy. They ran away at the sight of me." The devil spoke from behind him as he turned around and glared.
"What were you thinking when you get yourself involved with them?" Andrew growled.
The devil smiled, "Of course to save my little contracted human!" She added, "You know it is my duty that you are not harmed in any ways otherwise I will not get your soul."
"Who's little?" His eyes sent daggers at her as she chuckled nervously.
"You know they could have done worse things to you! Chad would get away with anything." He said with his voice turning loud.
"But I am a devil. I can easily use my powers like I used a while ago." She said pride lacing in her voice.
"And let them know that you are a devil." He finished and tapped his feet.
"I can easily erase their memories." She blew on her fingers as her tail wiggled behind her proudly.
Andrew raised a brow. "Do you even know how to erase memories?" He doubted it as he just saw how vulnerable she seemed before Chad.
Her tail froze in the air as she moved her eyes everywhere. "Err... I—I do know...?"
Andrew put his face in his palm and brushing his hair he said, "Next time before indulging yourself with any kind of fights, just use that little brain of yours."
The devil looked at him with anger filled eyes but it didn't even make him flinched as she looked more like pouting at him. "I am Avaloth the notorious succubus and I don't even nee—"
Andrew saw the devil's eyes closing as her feet stumbled and her body was about to fall. He immediately went near and caught her in his arms, his eyes concerned as the girl fainted.
His mind went blank. He called, "Hey! Hey! Avaloth!"
She didn't response as he shook her face. He noticed her weight had decreased and her face looked shrunken as if she hadn't eaten for days. The guilt came rushing to him again.
"Hey! Avaloth?" He called again as she slowly blinked open her eyes.
She smiled. "You know, this is the first time you called me by my name."
He gave her a look. Out of all the things, she pointed that.
He asked, "Are you hungry?"
She nodded still laying in his arms.
"Can you walk?" He asked because she felt so weak right now.
"I think?" She said unsure of herself.
He released a sigh as he slid his hands behind her back and knees and pulled her up. She certainly didn't weight much. "Alright, let's get you to eat something."
It seemed Avaloth was astound at his gesture as her dark doe eyes gawked at him while he carried her in his arms.
He sensed her eyes as he said with an irritated tone. "Thank you for saving me that time. Count this as my thanks."
Her eyes sparkled which made him pissed off. He wasn't really accustomed to doing these sort of things. He felt his belly twirling.
She grinned as her tail once again started to wiggle around his feet. "So, are you seduced by me now?"
He scowled at her. "And where did you get that idea?"
"But they said if a man carries a woman in a bridal style that meant the man is seduced, right?" She asked innocently which made Andrew to look at her with a confused look.
Who the hell was teaching her all these weird stuffs? He needed to have a chat with them.
He glared at her. "You want me to put you down?"
"Err... No."
"Good. Then stop with these weird seducing technics!"
"But what about gaining soul—" she halted as Andrew's dark gazes fell on her and he stopped walking. She smiled sweetly. "Okay. I will not talk about it."
As he started to walk again she added, "At least for now."
