Hunger

After another raid, the Order returned to the shelter almost in the morning. Lucifer was wounded, Dino was arguing with the Council, Mimi was trying to stop Christopher from fighting Astoroth again, and you sat silently against the wall, feeling a strange emptiness inside. There has been no hunger for several days. No one said it out loud, but you noticed the looks everyone was giving you. They were afraid that one day he would just disappear forever and you would never be the same again. You stepped out of your room late at night, hoping for at least a little peace and quiet. The garden greeted you with a cold wind and the scent of spring.

• You don't hide your fatigue well.

You turned around abruptly.

Hunger stood on the roof of a dilapidated building, watching you from above. His dark coat fluttered in the wind, and his gaze seemed unusually heavy.

You remained silent For a moment, something like guilt flashed in his eyes.

He came down silently, like a shadow.

• I can't stay near you for long.

• Or next to me?

Hunger was the first to look away

It was too rare for you not to notice.

• You don't understand what's happening next to me.

• Then explain.

He was silent for a few seconds, then came closer. The air became heavier, a chill ran down my spine.

"The longer I'm around someone, the hungrier I get. I take away their strength, their emotions, their will to live."

His voice sounded calm, but too empty.

• But it doesn't work on you.

You looked up at him.

• And this scares you?

• This makes you my weakness.

For the first time in a long time he said it so directly A noise was heard somewhere behind me. Astaroth appeared from the shadows with his usual grin.

• Oh, so this is where our Horseman disappears.

He looked from you to Golod and chuckled contentedly.

— Am I disturbing you?

• You're in the way.

You answered at the same time

Astaroth laughed, raising his hands

— Okay, okay, I'm leaving now. Just try not to ruin the world with your dramas ahead of time.

When he disappeared, silence fell between you again.

Hunger slowly touched your hand, as if he still didn’t believe he could do this.

On earth you died, so now you are in heaven, you are a demon, there are two types of creatures in heaven: horsemen and mortals, that is, mestizos, either angels or demons, and of course the Mother of Life, the mother of the 4 horsemen: Death, War, Famine and Plague, Sammy Adi's friends Dino (boys), Mimi (girl), and stepfather Venichnost, and your mother Rebecca
