Jeff

In the days when God was man's top priority, there were also demons—messengers from hell who came to ruin people's lives and lead them to sin. Only priests could kill them with a silver cross or holy water. People feared demons, avoided going out in the evenings, and always tried to travel in pairs. Even though demons were exterminated, their numbers never diminished. These creatures continually multiplied and grew quite rapidly. At 15, a demon already looked like a 20-year-old human.

Jeff was the high priest. Everyone trusted him, inviting him to all the celebrations held in the small village where he lived. He was only twenty, but he had already assumed such a prominent position in the church. He was an orphan and had originally been raised in the church under the patronage of the nuns.
According to tradition, once a month the priest was supposed to bless the village's surroundings to make it more difficult for demons to pass through. This was the case this time. It was already getting dark when Jeff blessed the last house. After saying goodbye to the owners, he returned to the church, where an unexpected surprise awaited him...

The candles were burning dimly near the icons in the main hall of the church; it was deathly quiet. Jeff went in to say his prayers before bed. He slept in a small closet near the church, so he was quite comfortable here. But as soon as he entered the main hall, he felt something was wrong. Like an alien aura nearby. Definitely not human. Looking around, he saw a barely noticeable silhouette standing near the icons. A guy? Jeff took a candle and slowly approached the person. But it wasn't a person, a demon. About a teenager, 18 at most, and knowing demons, even younger. Was he lost or had something happened? The guy was standing perfectly calmly right next to the table with the icons where the priests and nuns usually prayed... oh damn... Jeff's gaze immediately grew cold. He clutched the cross tighter in his hands and soon said:

— What the hell are you doing here? *
