Phil landed on a soft cloud, far far away from the destroyed house. He placed Dan down gently, soon sitting beside him to examine his horrifying form. He pushed away Dan's long fringe and sighed.
"If only I had known..." He whispered, crying softly. He felt a sudden feeling that he must bring Dan back to life, even though he's not good at it and it might not work on Dan because he's a demon.
He took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky.
/Please send rain./ He prayed and closed his eyes.
Tick tack tick tack. Raindrops were landing on his face. He opened his eyes.
His prayer was answered. The rain gradually washed away Dan's blood. But there's one thing - Dan's symbols at the back of his hand started to glow bright red, and his body started to fade.
Phil started to panic a bit, but then took a deep breath. Okay okay, he thought. I need to calm down before he entirely disappears.
Next on his how-to-bring-Dan-back-to-life list was to heal his wounds before he could bring him back to life. He pressed his hand lightly on Dan's wounds where they are still pouring blood.
/Please let it work, please let it work./He thought to himself.
As Phil started to pour more of his healing energy into Dan's wound, they closed faster. But at the same time Dan started to fade even faster.
Phil's vision started to blur, and tears were dripping on Dan's disappearing form.
Soon all the wounds were closed, and Phil pressed his lips on Dan's to finish the last thing on the list - to bring him back to life.
He placed his hand on Dan's chest, and tried to find a heartbeat as he felt life running inside his body and transferred it to Dan's lifeless one. The demon's heart started to beat.
Dan slowly opened his eyes, and his form stopped fading. Dan's red demonic eyes stared straight at Phil's glowing blue eyes. Dan lifted his hand and cupped Phil's cheek, and slowly led Phil's mouth to his, their lips pressed together. They closed their eyes, and their minds singing with happiness.
At that very moment, Dan's symbols glowed bright red again, and Dan's eyes started to lose their redness. Their mouths still pressed to each other, Dan's voice appeared in Phil's head.
I'm sorry, Phil. Forgive me, but I have tipped the balance of life and death in the demon world.
Phil opened his eyes, and saw Dan's figure going limp and his eyes a fading red. Dan smiled to him one last time, and his body disappeared entirely. Phil's tears started to roll down his cheeks. Faster and faster. He looked at his bloody hands, and he cried harder.
A light shone down from heaven on Phil, and his parents were next to him.
"Welcome home." They whispered, and engulfed Phil in a big hug. But Phil felt numb, entirely numb. He couldn't feel anything. His love was gone, and so his happiness and emotions went with his love.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in Phil's mind.
/Don't be sad, Phil. I will always be in your heart. Maybe someday, somewhere, somehow, we will meet again./
