Since I have been real little I had always had Leon follow me even now he does. During my time when I was like about 5 until 10 I thought he was my guardian angel but then I asked myself what angel has red eyes and can turn into a big black dog? So when I was twelve I began to class him as a demon. I drew a picture of him in his dog form. But now I am starting to wonder what exactly is he, He told me later on the I only made the assumption that he was a demon. He is a spiritual being that seems to be bound to me and he is very protective of me as well. A couple of times I had seen him chase other bad spirits away and he has helped me with my spirituality quite a lot. Leon is what I named him when I turned six because of the fact that he can turn into a wolf which I thought when I was little was a lion. His human form if you want to call it that, is very pale skin toned black hair with red eyes. He has a black long coat with some sort of pants, his clothes looks like they were formed during old English times. He has deep voice but mostly we talk through telepathy and He can send feelings this way too but he mostly is very serious and hardly shows feelings.
He is arrogant but deep down he is caring and nice. My best friend Ellen can see him better than I can due to the fact that I still have to learn to hone my gifts still. She thinks he is a demon too but my other friend thinks he is a spirit guide and someone else thinks he is a Jinn. Leon warns me about other spirits I can sometimes see like once he told me to stop and not go after the spirit in the hallway at school, he said it was bad. Some people who can see him except my friends give me dirty looks or would be scared of me but I am not a bad person in fact I am very nice to people once you get to know me. He has protected me from physical harm like the time a guy pulled a gun onto me when I was eight through a second floor window. Leon told me not to stop just turn around and keep on walking and I will make sure you will not pass. So I did what he said even though I didn't trust him completely and he turned out to be right. He sometimes mentions to read texts from the bible like Corinthians and Thessalonians, at first I thought they were city this was before I ever seen a bible so I decided to look up those names and found them to be part of the bible. I still am reading Corinthians but now I am not sure what he is. This is why I came here to ask what he is from a more experienced person.
As what your friend said, this does sound like a jinn. No doubt in my mind.
(If you would like someone to talk to, I'm not to far away.)
