On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

"Mom don't be such a paranoid, I am just hanging out with my friends, will you just let me have some good time with friends," Lily shouted her mother, Rivera. It was getting difficult to handle a high school teenager.

From the age of 13 to 19 is the age the human children hit puberty it was said and commit all sorts of mistakes, experiment stuff, get into addiction and even become young parents. The parents have to hold the control key, it was said during one PTA meeting at the middle school once. Now entering the high school this year, Lily had totally become a different person, matured, so much into fashion, average at studies but a shy baby. She had hery few friends who also happened to be their neighbours. Lily wanted to be an independent young lady but she kept ignoring the fact that she cannot. She was told that she has a sister who is living abroad and do video calls regularly but she had never come home nor spend time with Lily and that was Lily's biggest problem in life, feeling neglected by sister. 

Lily had great passion in being musician. She too training for violin from her primary school days onwards. She cut on her fingers proved the love for her instrument.  She named her Violin, Aqua, suggested by her mother. Lily's pet name was Aqua. That's how her parents preffered to call her. Raising the human child with severe mood swing and teenage dreams kicking in was stressful for Aenon and Rivera equally. They were not expecting to have a disobedient child at all. They realized how precious Aqua was when they were in heaven, not saying a word against them, accepting everything wilfully. Human children were rebels, have their own voice and fight for their rights. It was good but it was not right all the time. 

"Honey listen to me, your friends hang out with their boyfriends, you don't have one, why would you want to spend time with them and watch things they do?" Rivera asked her. 

"Whose fault is that am not able to date anybody scaring them and threating them even they r just my male friend?" Lily asked her mother back angrily. Lily had never been able to make friends with any guys, it was a fact, all because of her dad shooting them lasers with his eyes.

And the only trusted male species allowed to enter at home was none other than their neighbour boy Allen, hot but obedient and cool, being Lily's best friend from a very young age. He was even allowed enter her bedroom and nobody had any objection. Growing up with him, to everyone they were like a family. But not for Lily. Crushing on him from the age of 12. She was in love, secretly. 

"You better stay and an going to tell tour father," Rivera blackmailed her daughter who is scared of her father. Lily marched back into the house fuming with anger and climbed upstairs to her room. She took of her jacket, her top and laid in bed wearing only her bra. She was lazy to remove her jean and turned on the air condition. She laid looking at the ceiling. 

Someone walked inside the door. "I can't believe mom is prohibiting me from going hanging out with everyone. It's just a dinner what is the big about it. She said thinking it would be Sherly, her best friend who is also her neighbiur. She then slowly got up from the bed and stood on her legs only to get shocked.  She couldn't even scream afraid of alerting her mother. 

Allen walked towards her quickly removing his jacket and covered her standing close to her. Liky flushed red and her skin burned. Allen felt it, her heart thumbing loud and he tried to convince her saying he did not see anything. But how could he not when she cleared displayed him everything standing at the right time as he entered the room. 

He also felt his teenage heart going crazy inside see a girl quarter naked, and that took a girl he has known from a very young age. His hands shivered a little and his breath a little uneven. It was not just Lily. 

"Put your clothing on," he managed to say.

"Leave the room," she said back. "Don't you have the manners to knock on the doors of a girl's room. How could you barge in like that?" She questioned him. 

"But you were talking to me, how would I know then, if you were silent I would have thought of knocking, " he said.

'I thought it would be Sherly," she said. 

"So it is okay for her to see and not me?" He asked her. 

"Oh my god, kill me," She said and sat down on the down. He could still see her abdomen through the opening of her jacket. 

"Look we almost adults now, let's deal it that way," he said and extended his hands. "Deal?"

"Okay, forget it like this never happened, no teasing, and no entry into my room without my permission, " she said and took his hand to shake. He nodded and agreed and walked out of the room closing the door behind. And he stood there, keeping his hands on his heart. 

"Calm down you moron," he advised himself and walked downstairs to speak with Rivera to pursue her for the permission to take Lily out for dinner and return her home safely early before bed time. 

As promised Allen did take her out. But with him alone. They did not go with the other couples, avoid being the third wheel. He took her to the pizza shop and bought her a whole pizza she loved to eat. She was happy and they forgot about what happened between them. She couldn't help but gaze at him from time to time while he was looking away. And on time he took her back home. 

Aenon and Rivera always waited for Milan and she did come back one day, to finally stay with them. 

"Be good to your sister," Rivera advised Lily. Milan on the other hand saw the resemblance of Fariya and Aizen in her. Her eyes, and hair like Aizen and her nose and plump lips like Fariya. 

"Lily, tell me what you want me to buy," Milan would offer something often to Lily.

"Am fine, dad gets me everything," Liky replied. But for some weird reasons, Lily kept distance with Milan and was not comfortable around her. 

"What's wrong?" Milan asked her one day. Milan was aware of the tension between them. Lily never stayed inside the same room as Milan for than an hour.

"What?" Lily asked back.

"Why are you always avoiding me?" Milan asked her straight. "What's your problem?" Milan time changed seeing Lily's attitude towards her. 

"Would you just let it go, am busy," Lily said playing with her phone. Milan took the phone from her and threw them at the couch. 

"An speaking to you, " she said. 

"What the hell?" Liky raised her voice. Rivera came running from the kitchen. 

"What is going on? Girls keep it down," Rivera said.

"Mom she is torturing me," Lily screamed angrily. 

"You shut up, ma do you know that Aqua is avoiding me?" 

"What?" Rivera was shocked. "How dare you do that to your sister? She questioned Lily.

"What do you mean by what the hell? Why would I be close to be a woman who was never home and day shows up shares my room and claim to be my sister? Didn't she avoid me all these year? Why show up now? You're independent yes but I don't need that," Lily spilt the truth. To that Rivera and Milan has nothing else to say. 

"Silence," Aenon screamed aloud from the bedroom.  He walked out and looked at the woman. 

"Is this how one should behave to a sibling?" He asked his girls. "Lily apologise," he ordered but Lily did not. 

"Tell me where am wrong, give me a reason and I will," she said stubbornly. They had no reason to find except to tell to stick on to the fact of respecting people. 

"Milan you," Aenon had nothing to tell her. "Refelct on your mistakes now on," Aenon told her asking to measure herself and how wrong it has been, to do everything she did in the past years. All the three didn't have enough to tell the 16 year old. 

Years passed. Technology developed. Life became easier with gadgets but difficult when it came to opportunities to excel in life. Employment opportunities for human declined where as population and educational qualifications of humans increased in ten times the original rate. Earth was only degrading because of human mind's greediness in making money by the capitalist which lead to climate change severely, and global warming. Natural calamities and extinction of certain species were inevitable. Aenon and Rivera witnessed everything and lived in secret itself, unable to do anything since they has sealed their powers.

Lily turned 22 that year, a college graduate back home during her vacations. She was matured but her love for Allen never changed. Life was funny but future, uncertain.
