It happens innocently enough, but doesn't it always. A man, -no older than twenty four- had felt weird the whole day. Subtle headache, churning in his stomach and bone deep ache that made Kirill to take a day-off from his work.

Most of the day Kirill spend on his bed sleeping or reading a random book, but it all changed when the evening started.
This young man was washing his face, trying to get rid off the cold sweat that has gathered to his forehead, but after drying his face he glanced at the mirror above sink - and he froze. The eyes that stared back at him were not his. They were black, devoid of any light, showing only dark amusement.
Terror surged trough Kirill, made his veins freeze and hands shake. Young man tried to tear his gaze away - with no success.
It was not like those animals that froze at car's headlights, it was physically impossible for Kirell to move a muscle. Little by little all feeling disappeared from his limbs. Only his eyes - no, not his, It's - showed his terror, before they dulled into amused boredom, lips stretching into a pleased smile.
"It's been a while" The thing chuckled, and the black eyes glinted at bright bathroom light.
 

 

 

It called himself Nova. The Creature that now controlled the body of Kirill Luzhkov, was created to be only a mindless monster, without any logic or a free will, but It - and many others had taken a step to the higher level. Rising above the mindless demons and getting ability to think, to plan... to lust. Oh and lust it did. Anger was there too. Explossive temperament - hidden barely behind a fanged grin. "Devil in disguise" Others whispered. Worst was that knowing glint behind the black eyes.

While not being even near the strongest demon Nova made name of himself fast. He wasn't extremely intelligent, not master strategist nor the best manipulator - but there was something which made other demons fear him -  if only a little. It was his tracking skills. If Nova really, really wanted something - nothing could stop him from getting that. Take it twelve years or more, he would always get what he wants. He had traveled to most forgotten lands that Earth holds, he had discovered places in hell that was supposed to be unplottable and he had tracked down those who had tried to hide. "Blood hound" - that what he was called by his fellows. Tracker. One of the best. But oh, so very, very selfish. Always exploring the lands of Earth with ghosts from the past following his every moment. Screaming in his wake.

Nova is a demon, possessing the body of Kirill. Kirill was, and is a really gentle soul. Very friendly and well liked. He worked at the local flower shop. He lived with his girlfriend, visited the church every Saturday and lived a normal, if not even a boring life. That was before Nova chose Kirill as his host when walking on Earth. Kirill cannot fight the control Nova has over him, but sometimes demon will let him have his body back for short times, when demon itself is not in need of a body. But sadly, Kirill can see everything Demon does in his body. And one cannot forget those things easily. The live he lived, is no longer his to live.
