Your pov
A female demon huh. This isn't gonna be easy

"Dammit they're all so useless!!" She screamed

"Why can't you all, just die!! Please! Please! Please!" She desperately screamed

I now understood, someone forced her into this. It seems she was in a abusive relationship, just like my mother and father

She then shot her threads at me, I swiftly and effortlessly slice through them

"Gahh" she said

"Your scared aren't you" I asked

"What do you know?"

"I know that look, those eyes, the desperation"

"So what if you know, I had one job, now he's gonna punish me all because you guys won't die!"

"If that's true, then let me help you" I said putting my sword away

"What, why would you want to help me"

"Because, humans and demons we're the same whether we like it or not"

"Are you crazy, we demons kill your kind"

"Exactly, we kill to live and live to kill, we are both apex predators. We both easily have the power to shift the ecosystem. However the thing that sets us apart..."

"We demons are immortal"

"Compassion"

"Huh"

"You guys lost that feeling, you guys lost hope love and experienced unbearable pain"

"....."

I started inching closer to her slowly

"It's okay. It's okay.... I know what that feels like, waking up everyday to a life of pain. A life of loneliness, a life of labor, a life you wish you never had"

"What's your point"

"You harbored so many negative feelings its okay now, you can let it out. Just like you I gave up, however I had someone who was there for me. This time I'll be there for someone and that someone is you" I was now at the foot of the rock with my arms open, allowing her damn to break free.

Understanding she broke down and ran to me, releasing all her harbor pain. I couldn't possibly imagine how much she suffered both her human life and demon life. I hugged her tightly back, allowing her to feel safe. After a moment she stopped crying

"Feel better?" I asked

She sniffed and wipe her tears, "Why are you doing this?"

"Because.. the world unfair and I want to try and make it more fair"

She giggled at my response, "Your not like the others.. aren't you afraid I'm gonna eat you, because I'm a bad demon"

"I don't believe in good and bad. We simply only exist" I said

She then released herself from my embrace, "Thank you.."

"Anytime" I said

"But how are you gonna help me.. Rui... he's a lower moon and he's gonna be angry"

"Do you trust me"

"I-I"

"Do you trust me" I said cutting her off

"Yes"

"Good, stay close to me, I'll protect you and if you want I'll save you"

"What do you mean"
