Chapter 7: Surprise!

My alarm went off. It was six in the morning. I was half asleep. I turned off my alarm and got up. Eric was still asleep. I walked to my closet and got my clothes out. I have decided to wear skinny jeans and a tang top with my jacket on. I went and got my shoes and socks on. I heard rustling on the bed and when I turned around Eric was sitting up.

"So your finally awake." I said with a smile.

"Yea, did you have any nightmares tonight?" Eric asked rubbing his eyes.

"Nope, just happy dreams." I said throwing my arms up.

"That's good." Eric said with relief. He sat up and moved to the edge of my bed.

"So what are we going to do about your foster-parents?" Eric asked yawning.

"They already know about my past. But since I lost my memory they don't know about you." I said getting up and putting my books in my bag.

"So what do I do? I am not transferred into the school yet." Eric said with worry in his eyes.

I was thinking about it and then I had an idea.

"Okay you can stay in my room while I am in school. When I come back I will explain everything to them." I said.

"What happens if they find me?" Eric asked.

"Ummm, lock the door." I said walking towards the door.

"Okay if you say so." Eric said laying back down.

Be for I left I turned back around.

"Promise you will be here when I get home." I said.

"Promise." Eric said.

I walked out and told my parents that I locked my bedroom door. Then I left.

****************************************************************************

When I came home from school I had expected Eric to still be in my room, but no.

When I walked in my parents were standing in the living room, but with Eric.

"Sorry honey I tried." Eric said.

"Serenity who is this?" My father said.

"Sweety what's the meaning of this?" My mom said tapping her foot.

"Uhh, well this is Eric." I said with an awkward smile.

"We know. Explain, now." My father said. I could see he was mad so I explained everything.

"Well, you should have told us sweety." My mom said looking guilty.

"Well how was I supposed to tell you. "I have a man in my room from my past. We were childhood friends." Like that." I said sarcastically.

"Now honey that was rude." Eric said with a smirk.

I threw a pillow at him. "Shut up. You were supposed to stay in my room and not come out." I said glaring at him.

"Hey a man's gotta eat." He said laughing.

I laughed to when he made his boyish smile.

My mom was just staring at me. "You to should be together." My mom said.

"W.....what" I said.

"Why are you blushing so hard, honey" Eric said with a smile.

"Sh....Shut up!" I said throwing pillows at him and him throwing pillows at me.

When I was done playing with Eric my mom and dad wanted to talk to Eric about my past. So I got up and walked to the kitchen. I wanted to get a cup of coffee, but I didn't get to get some.
Smash! I was thrown across the kitchen and I hit the wall. Eric came in and yelled to my parents not to come in. My head was bleeding.

"Serenity, are you okay!?" Eric said in a panic. My vision was getting blurry.

"Serenity, I need you to stay with me, okay. Can you hang on, I will heal you, but it will take some time. Okay." Eric said his face was full with worry.

"Yea I can hang on a while." I said dazzed.

Eric layed me down and went to my room and got the medicine he needed. My parents walked in and saw me and my mom started to panic. My mother ran to me and lifted my head and put it on her lap. It was getting harder and harder for me to stay awake. My mother kept saying that I am going to be okay. By the look on her face and the sound of her voice I new I was something was badly wrong with me. Eric returned to the kitchen.

"Is she going to be okay?" My mother said in a panic voice.

"Yes, she is." Eric said.

"How do you know. Look at all this blood." My father said.

"Look I am never going to lose her again. She is the most important thing to me. Just because I am a demon doesn't mean I am a monster. Now, I need you to hand Serenity to me. Please." Eric said. My parents did as he said.

"Serenity? Serenity! Are you with me." Eric said softly.

"I'm here." I said weakly.

"Good. I am going to put some medicine on your wound, okay? It's going to sting. Then I am going to put the bandage on." Eric said carefully.

"Okay." I said that even weaker.

Eric put the medicine on. It did sting, but not as bad as I thought it would. Then he wrapped up my head. While he was doing those things I lost consciousness.  I've been unconscious for two days.

"Huh?" I said. I blinked accuple times.

"Were am I?" I said. I sat up and looked around. The door opened and Eric, my mom and dad came in.

"What's going on....chchchchch....owww." I said. My head was hurting badly but not because of a demon or a spirit. It was because of my injury.

"Hey, your awake. I almost lost you again." Eric said with relief.

"What?" I said I was so confused.

"Remember, sweety you were thrown against the wall." My mother said.

"Yea" I said rubbing my head.

"Serenity, do you remember anything?" Eric asked.

"Well, I went in the kitchen to get a drink. Then my head started to hurt. Then it stoped. So I turned around and a man was staring at me and then he pushed me." I said.

"Did he say anything to you?" Eric said. He had those same exact eyes he had that day.

"Yea, be for he pushed me he stayed "they are coming for me". That's all. Ugggggh." I said.

"Okay, Serenity you need to lay down." Eric said with a soft voice.

I did as he said. I played down and fell asleep. I had this question stuck in my head. "What did he mean?".
