Demons. As attractive as they are, they aren't good news. They will tear up your life faster than you can tell them no. That's why when I became a fallen angel, I was careful of who I spent my time with. I can see a demon's true form, which made choosing who I associated with a lot easier. However, in some ways it didn't. I may be a fallen angel, but I have the curiosity of a mortal. I get intrigued by a creature and then, just like that, it ruins my existence. It's the curse of a fallen angel. Once you rebel, you're on your own. I don't really mind, although it would help if the counsel cared.
I sat in detention, fidgeting with my pencil. Boredom is still a thing for us fallen creatures, and right now I was tempted to do something really awful just to entertain myself. I had just decided to doze off when a new guy walked in. I gasped as his menacing presence filled the room, crashing into my senses. I shook my head as the guy looked at me.
His bright red eyes sent chills down my spine. I didn't want to be caught staring, but I couldn't tear my eyes away. His smile radiated light, and yet his intentions were anything but good. He was a demon. I turned away, pretending not to care. A cold breeze caressed my face as the new guy walked by. He walked to the teacher before sending me a smirk. A smirk that spelled one message...
Trouble. I looked down as a blush crept across my cheeks. I would have to be careful with this one.
--------
I walked into my house, fully exhausted. School had been a complete disaster. I dropped my stuff on the bed before moving to open the shutters. I noticed a slip of paper caught in my window. Curiosity gripped me, causing me to open the glass and remove the paper. Opening it, I saw cursive handwriting covering the paper.

Desire. Love. I don't know what to call it. All I know is that you will be mine, So I suggest you leave the window unlocked tonight. You can hide from me, but you will be mine. Whether you like it or not.
-MY
I stared at the note. Fear mixed with curiosity hit me. "I could leave the window open and see who sent the note or I could be a rational human being and lock it." I said to myself. "Screw it." I threw the note on the ground and locked the window. Even if my curiosity was begging me to leave it unlocked, I was going to be smart and not let whoever sent it in.
Picking up my belongings, I started for the door. I didn't even make it halfway when a voice spoke inside my head. "Did you like my note princess?" I shook my head, staggering back slightly. Rubbing at my forehead, I waited for a few seconds before brushing it off.
"Don't ignore me!" the voice urged louder. I yelped and fell into the hallway wall. I felt stiff, and unmoveable. It was like something was holding me down. "Unlock the window." the voice ordered. I fought the urge to obey. I shook my head.
"No!" I screamed. "I won't listen." I dragged my unresponsive body to the kitchen, and held onto the table as control returned to me Panic began to trickle in as I realized the gravity of the situation. There was a demon here that wanted me. I couldn't let him have me; I had to keep fighting, starting with disobeying what it had told me to do. I grabbed the remaining chain from the basement and walked to my window.
I peered out. That's when I saw the seven boys standing outside my house, staring directly at my window. I hurried to shut the curtains and released a shaky breath. I did not just see seven demon creature things outside my house. I rushed to put the chain on the window while somewhat succeeding in staying hidden.
With a sigh, I hurried to my bed. "Tonight," I whispered,"No demon is going to get me."

Homecoming | A Chronicles of Ascension Story
When Jethen was captured by slavers, his childhood was torn from him and left shattered half a world away. When he finds himself back home decades later, by methods he does not fully understand, he finds that the life he has lived has changed him far more than he knew. In a home he no longer knows. Places and people at the same time familiar and foreign, he must decide - stay and help with his parent's business, or return to the land that remade him and the family he made there. --------- Homecoming started as just a short story to break an episode of writers block. It has since morphed well beyond that into a novel in it's own right, and may well end up with a sequel. The writing of Homecoming became a bit of a self induced challenge to improve my initial, first brush, writing quality. Each chapter was written raw, given a once over read and edit, and then posted. In this way I am forcing myself to write better from the start. I do hope you enjoy the story and will leave a comment or review, and if you see an issue, feel free to let me know as well. I know it is not nearly perfect, and it will get a full and proper edit once I am done. Never hurts to fix things along the way though. As an additional note. The story has undergone a structural rework and has been reposted in an updated structure and sequence of chapters. If you have read this story already, I invite you to do so again in this new structure.
