When I say that Belial was, and still is, the love of my life I mean it. He was sweeter to me than any other man ever was. I love him to the point where now that he's gone I feel cold and alone. I know that I have friends who are willing to help me, but I can't get the words out. This is why I'm talking to you; whoever you may be. If you can understand the mind of a crazy person then you can understand anyone.
When I first met Lial I was walking home late from my part time job. I mean really late, I should have been off at 11:30 pm but I was let off at 1 am instead. Now that I think about it, that's kind of very illegal. But that's not the point, my point is, I was out very late and no one else was around, which caused him to come out of his hiding. Now, one thing about Lial that you should know is that he doesn't like beat around the bush, and when we met it was a very...sensitive procedure.
Remember when I said that it was very late? Being a smart 21 year old college student I thought it was a good idea to take a short cut...through an alleyway. You always tell the people in horror movies to never go in them, so naturally why would we travel via alleyway during the night in real life? I'll tell you now it wasn't my brightest moment. But it happened and I wouldn't change it if I could go back.
I stepped into the small walk and blissfully made my way. I remember pulling my jacket closer to my body. It was early spring so it wasn't that warm and at night the temperature dropped about 5 degrees.
It was then that I hear his voice.
"Hey there," he said. His voice sounded as if he had a smile plastered on his face and that was what scared me initially. Not so much that I was hearing a voice, but that it sounded so confidante, enticing even. So I kept walking.
Maybe, I thought, it will leave if I ignore it long enough.
"Are you scared? Is that why you won't talk to me?" It asked.
"No, it's because you are a figment of my tired imagination. You are not real," I said matter-of-factly. I had no time for that shit; I wanted to go home, take a shower and sleep.
I heard a muffled chuckle but I kept my pace, why run if he wasn't real? While walking I tried to imagine what he would look like if the voice was real. It was a golden voice, handsome and deep. Something that would make women and men fall to their knees. He would have perfectly crafted gold hair and a strong tan body. Tight leather pants and an open white shirt...
"You couldn't be more wrong, William. I am very different compared to your sweet delusions."
"Fine," I said, stopping in my tracks just a few feet away from the alley exit. "Show me if I'm so wrong!"
The fact that he knew what I was thinking should have been a clue as to what he was but I was tired. I didn't think he was real.
"As you wish," the voice sighed. It was almost like a sigh of relief.
I turned my body and saw a handsome man with short black hair, it was gelled to stay in place and he wore an expensive looking black suit. He had dark brown eyes and a slight tan, but other than that he looked very normal to me. Well, aside from the fact that he was incredibly handsome, could read my mind and was following me at night in an alleyway.
Yup...Normal.
"Ha ha, I know right? Sorry to freak you out." He smiled. "But you intrigue me."
I frowned. I could see him, I could smell the cologne on him, I was sure by that point that I could touch him if I wanted to. So that meant he was real. A—
"A normal guy who reads minds...I wish, but no," He grinned. He moved closer to me. Something about him drew me in...I was mesmerized by him and the strangest thought ran through head, I want him. But yet at the same time something told me that he was dangerous—that I shouldn't go near him.
However I so badly wanted to.
"Same," he grinned. His sexy face relaxed to show me that he meant it and his tongue flickered from out of his mouth. My cock jumped.
The way that he licked his lips made me want to scream in pleasure and I wanted him to suck on my nipples. I never had that instant feeling with anyone else before in my life till him. It was intense and all I wanted was him. The nagging feeling in the back of my soul became stronger.
"What the hell are you?" I asked moving an inch closer to him. I don't know why I did, but it happened. I had told my brain that I wanted to get away from him, not closer.
"A demon. You can call me Lial, but my name is actually Belial, you know him. I'm pretty damn famous if I do say so myself." He looked as if he won an award because he was Belial the Demon.
I stood there like a dumb kid trying to remember what my friend Kevin said about Belial. Kevin has always had an obsessive interest in mythology, including the current religions. If I remembered correctly he was the demon of injustice or something. And if that was the case he wasn't someone you wanted to hang around with.
"Well, you would have remembered correctly young William."
"Why are you following me?" I asked, my voice getting more frantic than perhaps it should have been.
"Because you intrigue me." I looked at him like he was on drugs, and deep down I was hoping he was.
"What?" I asked rising my left eyebrow. The way he spoke was like it was scripted and yet he was comfortable playing the part.
"I saw you once talking with another human. Something about you sparked my interest."
Another human...
"I...I can't believe this... this is creepy as hell." I huffed.
He was dark and creepy. He was crazy enough to be considered insane, but the more I pushed away the more I wanted to go closer. It was like he was pulling me to him.
"You doubt me, don't you? I can see it, and I can hear it even more clearly. You think I am a human who has hit rock bottom. Someone who snapped... But you're wrong, William."
He moved two inches closer to me and smiled.
Taking in a deep waft of my scent his pupils changed shaped from that human circle to the feline slit. My heart jumped into my mouth.
Holy shit, I thought, he's telling the truth!
That was all he did, at least for the first time. I wouldn't have been able to handle the full transformation right then.
"So you finally believe me," he smiled.
I took two steps back and that was all I needed then.
I ran away.
