Demon!Frank Hardy AU Aesthetics
The year is 1918, and eleven year old Frank Hardy is with his parents, Laura and Fenton, when the doctor gives the troubling news: that his ten year old brother Joe has cancer, and thus has no chances of surviving past the end of the summer. Desperate and afraid, as many young children would be, Frank runs away from the hospital, only to come across a crossroads fifteen minutes away. There, he meets a rather beautiful teenage girl with bright red hair, who promises Frank anything in the world.
He wishes for Joe’s cancer to go away. He wishes for Joe to live a long and healthy, happy life. The girl promises to give him this, but it would come at a cost. “You have such a bright little soul,” she says, running her fingers through his dark hair. “I’d so love to have it. All it takes is a kiss, and I promise, Joe will be happy and healthy always.”
Frank doesn’t even think twice. He lets the girl kiss him, sealing the deal, and by the next morning Joe’s cancer is completely gone, his previously disease ridden body healthy once more.
It’s not until Frank is sixteen years old that the realization of what he had done finally sinks in, and by then he’s only got five years left. So, after trying and failing to find a loophole, he decides to live life to the fullest, solving mysteries with Joe, making friends, graduating high school, and then college almost at lightning speed. The summer after he turns twenty one, he spends his final day with his family, before taking a bike ride during the night away from the house, heart pounding as he hears the baying of hounds on his tail.
By next morning, his body is found in a ditch by the side of the road. The official autopsy declares it a rabid wild dog attack.
After three thousand years of Hell -- or three years on Earth -- Frank is finally spit back out of the Pit. He’s eternally twenty one, as fresh faced as he was the night he died. Except now he’s sporting some nifty powers and some pretty frightening black eyes to accompany the new attitude he’s got.
Don’t worry, if you’re not an evil soul, he’s not going to bother you. But don’t get on his bad side. Even if he’s an anomaly as a demon, he’s still dangerous.
