Chapter 137: Immune

Leia's face instantly altered in shock, and she raised her eyes to stare at Adrik with disbelief in her eyes. "A-are you serious?" She stuttered as she asked, and Adrik nodded at her. "I am serious as hell."

A deep breath left Leia's nose, and she inhaled and exhaled deeply as she used her hands to fan herself. "Okay, okay...." She nodded to herself and calmed down, then grabbed Adrik by the hand and stared deep into his eyes. "I... want to know exactly what I am."

Adrik tilted his head to one side and chuckled at the expression on her face. "Okay." He nodded at her and took a deep breath. "From everything I have noticed, there is only one thing that I am sure you are..."

"And what is it?" She moved closer to him and gazed at him with anticipation apparent in her pitch-black pupils.

"Well... it might sound unbelievable to you, but little wife, you're a..." He took yet another deep breath with his eyes shut and opened them afterward to stare at her. "A Demon..."

As though her brain exploded, she became motionless and gazed at Adrik with a blank expression on her face.

Adrik's eyes fluttered and he parted his lips to say something, but Leia abruptly broke out into laughter and pointed at Adrik as she cracked up. She slapped his shoulder and shook her head. "C'mon, be serious, stop joking." She cackled, and when she saw no amusement on Adrik's face, the laughter slowly dispelled and her expression became serious. "You're... kidding right?" She stared intently at him, hoping he would say yes to her, but Adrik simply shook his head. "No little wife. I am dead serious. " 

Leia's eyes blinked thrice before she slumped down on the chair. "That's impossible, Adrik. I don't believe it." She stated this with a tone that held complete disbelief.

"Would I ever lie to you, little wife?" Adrik asked without glancing at her, instead, staring at the lantern situated on the mini table near the bed.

Leia shook her head at him, and a deep breath escaped her nose. "I know you will never lie to me, but... this is just impossible." Her face grimaced, and she turned so she could stare at him. "What makes you think I am a demon? I mean, it doesn't make any sense."

"Calm down, little wife." Adrik turned so he would face her and then exhaled. "If I said you're a demon, then I definitely have my reasons, and believe me, they are not just one nor two." He raised his brow at her, and Leia bit her lower lip.

She took deep breaths and slowly nodded at him. "Alright, tell me then." She stared intently at him, with anxiety evident in her gaze.

Adrik tucked the strands of hair that fell over his face behind his ear, then grabbed both her hands, tenderly holding them in his. "First of all, no other supernatural beings can control fire except demons. Unless we talk about those that practice witchcraft, but right now I am talking about naturally having control over flames without any use of spells or those shits."

"You were able to summon one that night without even trying. And as you saw too, it did not harm you. Why is that? It's because demons are immune to fire. Fire can't burn them; rather, they listen to them."

"Listen?..." Leia's brow creased in deep confusion.

"Yes, Little wife. One thing you must know is that every natural thing in this world has a life as long as it's not man-made. It all depends on whether you can hear them, feel them, and know that they are alive and breathing. They grow too, just like humans grow, but one thing is that they will always be under control." Adrik explained, and Leia took a deep breath as she took in all the information.

"So I believe you will understand what I am saying now. Only demons can control fire because it's in their nature to do so."

"That night, during that moment I had tried to get to you, the fire had violently attempted to attack me, why? Because it felt that I was a threat to you. It thought that I had some bad intentions and it had this mindset to protect you, and that is what I mean by, they listen to the ones who call them naturally." 

"So... you mean fire can't... hurt me?" Leia bit her lower lips and stared at Adrik with an expectant expression on her face.

"Yes." Adrik smiled and nodded at her. "Do you want us to give it a try?" He inquired, and Leia's eyes fluttered in shock. "G-give it a try?"

"Yes, I want to prove it to you and clear your doubt."

"But... what if I end up getting burned?" A bit of uncertainty became evident on her face, and she bit her lower lip yet again.

"Do you think I will ask you to do anything that could hurt you?" Adrik raised his brow as he asked, and she shook her head. "It's okay if you don't want to. I only suggested that, so to clear your doubt. " He patted her on the shoulder and flashed her a gentle smile.

Leia took a deep breath with her head lowered and raised her eyes to stare at him. "I want to give it a try." She smiled, and Adrik chuckled at her. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?" He inquired, and she clicked her tongue. "I am not a coward and I am always ready to risk things, so..."

"I see. Brave little wife. " Adrik laughed and stood up from the sofa, then walked out of the room. A few seconds passed before he returned with a lighter in his hand. He took his seat beside her and pressed the lighter on, causing a fire to surge out of its mouth and go off afterward. He lifted his eyes to gaze at Leia, and she took a deep breath, then nodded at him, shutting her eyes afterward.

Adrik grabbed her arm and slowly brought the lighter closer to her skin. With a bit of hesitation, he pressed it on, and flames instantly burst out of its mouth, furiously spewing on Leia's skin. The hairs on her skin instantly stood up at the impact and it looked as though they would burn to ashes.

A smile formed on Adrik's lips, and he raised his sights to gaze at Leia's face, which was sweating profusely from fear. He chuckled softly and told her to open her eyes.

Leia slowly opened her left eye to peek at her skin, and when she saw the fire from the lighter burning on her skin without imprinting 

any injury, her right eye immediately sprang open, and both widened like saucers. "Holy shit?!" She snatched her arm and began to examine it. As though still finding it unbelievable, she yanked the lighter from Adrik and turned it on, letting the fire come into contact with her skin.

Her chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily, and she raised her eyes to stare at Adrik. "This... is wholesome." She said it in a deep tone, and Adrik chuckled at her.

"No, seriously, this is awesome! Like, I am immune to fire! This means I can walk in and out of the fire!!! " A wide smile of disbelief emerged on her brim, and she glanced at her arm again. 

"Now do you believe me?" Adrik arched his brow, and she slowly nodded at him. "Yes, I do." She lifted her head to gaze at him and shifted closer, then grabbed his hands. "Tell me more." 

"Okay." Adrik laughed softly and slightly shook his head. His little wife is indeed strange. She found this incredible, while some normal people would have freaked out. He caressed her hair and smiled at her. "Now my second reason is... the heartbeat. You once asked me why your heartbeat was normal and not as rapid as mine. Now listen..the heartbeat of Demons is the same as that of humans, however, it doesn't mean that they are slower than other nonhumans when it comes to running. In fact, they are faster than any nonhuman ever known."

"Hmmm... but I am not a fast runner."

"And who told you that?" Adrik raised his brow at her, and her eyes darted from one place to another. "Um, I do run in high school during sports time." She shrugged and Adrik pinched her arm, causing her to hiss in pain.

"I forgot to tell you that your demon doesn't emerge immediately once you come to this world. It may take eighteen years, twenty years, or even thirty years for it to develop in you. So basically you were almost just a human back then, and that's why. " 

"Ahh... I see. Is it the same with werewolves too?"

"Yes. I shifted into my wolf on my seventeenth birthday, which is very rare. Mostly werewolves shift for the first time on their eighteenth birthday.. " Adrik explained with a proud look on his face, and Leia couldn't help but shake her head at him.
