Ethan's PoV

09.50 PM

I didn't know how long we had been hugging like this but I didn't mind hugging her a little longer.

"It's getting late. I think I should go back now," her voice broke the silence between us.

I hugged her tighter.

"That fast? I can take you back later." I was sure with my portal skill, I could take her home faster than any vehicle. Even though I didn't know where her house was, but I knew which district her house was in.

She turned her face at me. While I released my hug.

"My ride will come soon," she frowned.

"Where?"

"In front of the Nighthallow Station," she answered.

"Okay, I'll take you there later. But now ..." I hugged her again, pressing her body against mine.

"Stay with me for a moment," I said in a relaxed tone.

"Ethannn," she scowled in a spoiled tone, her hands pushing me away to free herself from me.

"Why? Don't we still have time?"

"Don't act like a spoiled child," she pouted again.

I smiled.

"I'm not an ordinary spoiled kid." I brought my face closer to her.

"I'm a spoiled kid who can win a demon hunter heart," I teased.

She tapped my shoulders as smiles appeared on our lips.

"You are annoying," she said in joking tone.

She put her clothes back on, while I was also wearing mine. Well, I couldn't really say wearing, because I only had half my shirt left and it also already covered in blood, and so was my suit, but at least it was better than being naked. Besides, my suit still covered my back.

* Whoosh *

The wind rustling sound was heard when I opened my wings which had been covering us like a cocoon, exposing the cloudy night sky and letting the strong wind comb our hair.

"Are they going to add your punishment?" I asked. She had reported this incident to the headquarters but again, there were no demons when reinforcements arrived. Other than that, I brought her here, so they didn't find her either.

"I don't think so. The one who reported this was Theo, not me. Besides, after I met the other demon hunters, I just left Theo to them and returned to your place. I'm also sure they didn't see my face."

That explained why she was able to return so quickly before the other demon hunters arrived.

"Thank goodness. I thought I was going to give you more trouble." I held her hand.

"I'll take you to Nighthallow Station." At least it took nearly half an hour on foot to get there.

"No, it's okay I'll walk," she immediately refused in panic.

"I won't use my wings," I said as I deactivated my Demonic Form.

[You have deactivated your Demonic Form.]

A second later, a dark aura covered my body, my wings, horns and tail turned into the dark aura and disappeared, and my eye's colour returned to normal.

[Set your destination.]

'My house's backyard, Ironshade Town.'

[The destination has been set.]

[The portal has opened! ]

My feet stepped into the portal.

And when I got out of there I was already in the backyard of my house.

[The portal has closed! ]

I sighed and raised my head to look at my bedroom window. With my tattered clothes and covered in blood like this, I couldn't possibly go home through the front door as usual. Celia would be shocked and panicked if she saw me like this. Besides, it was still 10:00 PM, Celia usually still watched TV in the living room. I also couldn't open the portal to my room, because Celia could be there. Even though she never said anything but I knew she often came to my room. I realized it because some of my things moved from their original place.That's why I decided to climb up and enter through my bedroom window.

After stepping closer to the wall, I tried to find some grips and started to climb. It would be easier if I was in my Demonic Form but I couldn't do that since I was afraid my neighbours would see me. After all, a winged creature as big as a human who was trying to enter through the window was more conspicuous than a boy who suddenly disappeared in his backyard. Besides, I always hid behind a tree before opening my portal. Unfortunately, the tree was not tall enough to cover my bedroom window.

I peeked into the room through my bedroom window to make sure Celia wasn't there.

"AH!" A female voice from behind me startled me.

I turned around and saw Mrs Clea standing in her yard. Her layered silver hair tight in a bun revealed a full, warm face. Her fair skin gorgeously complemented her cheeks and her sparkling purple eyes that set graciously within their sockets stared at me in shock.

"THI --- THIE ---"

My hand waved quickly to interrupt her before she screamed.

"Mrs Clea, It's me! Ethan!" I said in a panic.

She narrowed her eyes to look at me more clearly as her feet took a few steps to get closer.

"Ethan? What are you doing there?" she said in confusion.

"I ----" I paused and lowered my head, looking for an excuse. If I said I lost my keys, I was sure she knew Celia was home. It was obvious because my house lights were on. If I said I wanted to surprise her for her birthday, as I recalled her child's birthday was the same as Celia's, so I guessed she would have known I was lying. And if I told her the truth that I avoided Celia because my clothes were torn and covered in blood, I was sure she would definitely panic and shock like Celia.

'I guess I'm really bad at finding excuses.'

"Ethan, did you just have a fight with your sister?" she asked worriedly.

"No, I didn't. I'm sorry, I have my own reasons. Please don't tell Celia about this," I said quickly.

She let out a sigh.

"Fine, then be careful."

I nodded and grateful that she just let it slide without asking me again. My hand opened my bedroom window and entered my room.
