Blood… everywhere… piles of bodies on the floor... The city was engulfed in an inextinguishable flame, with civilians running in panic, screaming at the top of their lungs. From the thick fog of the city's torment, a being emerges, a being not quite human. He wipes the blood off his horns, and takes the stake out of his stomach, causing blood to pour onto the ground beneath him. He grits his teeth together, trying to hold in his anger… then yells…

“I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM!”

Demon Eater

Chapter 1: The Six

“Kareem! Wake up, Kareem! Wake up!” A smart alarm repeats over and over again in a monotone script. A slightly disheveled man rolls out of his futon and turns off the alarm. He puts on a black collar shirt, a peculiar necklace, and a pair of jeans as he lazily stumbles his way out of bed. Kareem has straight, jet-black hair, pitch-black eyes, and sharp teeth. He's on the paler side, with a pure complexion, and looks about 21 or so. He devours a protein bar, chews some bubble gum, grabs his bag, and leaves. He bounces down the stairs of his flat and books it to the subway. The train is silent, a depressing atmosphere suffocates the room. The news along the interior of the train show nothing but the terror going on in the world. “Lucifer's invasion caused a big hit to the economy”, “How to spot a demon in hiding”, “80 left dead in Sapora after a demonic attack”, and “The 6th sin has abandoned his post leaving chaos, could he be on Earth?”. Kareem hunches his neck down and lets out a big sigh “This world is turning to shit because of that asshole prince” he grumbles as he pulls out a GhostfaceTM vape and pulls from it. His hand is quickly grabbed by train security, “No vaping on the fucking bus asshole, your getting off at the next stop!” the guard shouts. Kareem looks at the guards in utter shock “fuck”.

Kareem is seen running through the city, pushing and dodging people while yelling. “Fuck fuck fuck! I'm gonna be late!”. He eventually makes it to this cafe ‘Blossom Jade Cafe’ Kareem stumbles through the entrance and jolts up the stairs. “Sorry I'm late Boss, I got kicked off the bus!” Kareem exclaims as he struggles to put on his hat and apron. From downstairs, a tall lean man with an afro and pitch-black glasses is pouring coffee, “Your lucky this is the first time Kareem, hurry the fuck up!” he shouts at Kareem. A short Asian girl with a bowl cut and tattooed sleeves emerges from the kitchen with quite a bit of omelet, “Wow Kareem late? I never thought id see the day” She chuckles as she balances seven plates of breakfast on her arm, and brings it to the customers. “Your lucky that you're a fucking talent at brewing coffee, now get working asshole!” Boss shouts as he pulls a $10 from the register, “Here you go sir,” he says in a much calmer tone to the customer in front of him. Kareem gets teary-eyed as he stumbles into the kitchen, “Why is everyone calling me an asshole today?”. The girl carrying the omelets from before walks into the kitchen with empty plates, Kareem turns to meet her. “Hey Jade, long day ahead of us, you ready?” Kareem asks. Jade then rolls up her sleeves, and tilts her worker hat down, “I was born ready… let's make this cafe our bitch!” She yells.

The scene slowly turns to night, Kareem and Jade are out in the back of the cafe, their clothes now disheveled and sweaty, and their eyes baggy and barely even open. They tiredly slurp on noodles trying to finish them before it gets too cold. “So you got kicked off the bus for vaping?” Jade asks, “Yeah, I don't know… I was just in thought and my muscle memory kicked in haha” Kareem replies. “Wow… you're a dumbass hehe” Jade chuckles as she snorts on a noodle and falls over. “Hey I've just been a little spacy lately, that's all” Kareem retorts back. Jade looks Kareem up and down, “You okay?” she asks. “Yeah I'm fine, just like you know?... two months behind on rent, my laundry machine broke, got kicked off the bus, and bullshit like that,” Kareem says as he leans back against the wall of the cafe. Jade looked at him, still looking concerned, “Hmm” she whispers under her breath. Suddenly, Jade jolts up and stretches her arms, “Alright I'm out, I'm gonna get really high and watch Gilmore Gals, bye Ka.”. Kareem gets up as well, and starts walking the other way, “Stay safe yeah?” he says slowly as he limps away. “Hey you live farther, you're the one that's gotta be careful, maybe The Six will fuck you up hehe” Jade chuckles back.

Kareem is now snoring on the subway, he looks almost undead because of how tired he is. The sudden rustle of the train jolts him awake. He looks around while rubbing his eyes, he appears to be the only one on the train. He looks down to the left of his seat, and suddenly, the turn and bend of the train reveal a figure standing at the other end. Kareem thinks nothing of it, he leans back in his seat and closes his eyes. “Hey asshole, how have you been lately?” Kareem hears from the end where the man was standing. Kareem opens his eyes in rage “What with everyone calling me an asshole today?” he whispers under his breath. He looks to his left and sees the man, now closer, and with big, white, feathery wings, spanning the width of the train. The man's hat drops to the ground, revealing long silver hair going down to the man's shoulders, and deep sky-blue eyes. Kareem is paralyzed with shock. The man pulls a white longsword from thin air and slashes the middle of the train, splitting it completely in half. Kareem barely escapes the slash and starts running through the falling platform. He looks behind him as he sprints, only to look in front and crash into the angelic man. The man points his sword at Kareem, a wave of blue energy emerges from the sword and blasts out of the tip, letting out a big shock wave focused at Kareem. As the smoke and ashes from the blast clear up, Kareem is perfectly untouched, he vaporized the energy with his hand, and we see now that his once pitch-black eyes are now glowing bright red.

“Its been a while, Angel of Judgement… Castiel.” Kareem says as he gets up, now with a more intimidating aura.

Castiel chuckles as he replies, “It really has hasn't it? Kayani, The Sixth Sin of Hell.”
