Whom I Never Knew [ON HOLD TEMPORARILY]

Chapter 8

This chapter is dedicated to lucifer_wouldnt, for the character suggestion.

~Unknown POV~

I wandered through the forest aimlessly. Stopping when I reached a lake, I knelt and gazed at its mirror-like surface. My raven black hair was tied into a high ponytail and my lips were blood-red. I was wearing dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket. My boots were black and very comfortable. To add some colour, my shirt was the same red as my lipstick. My eyes were also black.

I scooped some water into a flask and allowed my host body to hydrate. Yes, I am a demon. The person I am possessing has been 'missing' for months. And unconscious for weeks. By that, I mean it was three weeks yesterday that I last heard her voice (inside my head, obviously. Actually, inside her head). If you think months are a long time however, what about centuries? It's been centuries since my parents kicked me out. It's not my fault I was a grumpy, hormonal teenager! Oh, and sarcastic and witty, and a teeny bit sadistic and masochistic. But not blood-thirsty. No, I draw the line there.

Anyway, I probably rambled on a bit much. I splashed my face to cool me down and got up and jogged away from the lake. It was no use running, except that it was a bit more enjoyable than walking alone in a forest for ages. At a *snap*, however, I realised I wasn't alone. I wasn't scared, because I can kick butt, but my head whipped up, and I caught sight of a handsome, pale man. He was staring at me in curiosity, and his messy black hair was covering half his face. His clothing was all black, and his eyes were red.

"Vampire." I hissed under my breath. I didn't feel the need to speak any louder, I knew he could hear me. He took a few steps closer, until he was only a couple of metres away from me. I could hear him sniff the air, with my sharp demonic senses. Before I could react, I felt myself being pulled out of my body. It felt the same as when I left one body to find another, but it was completely involuntary. This was strange. After leaving my host completely, I felt myself form a body, instead of possess one. Curiouser and curiouser (yes, in my half a millenium I did get the chance to read Alice in Wonderland). I had once heard a rumour that when demons find their mates, they acquire their own body. I hadn't believed it. My parents (the blood-thirsty demons I had always hated) had constantly been possessing human bodies, using the soul each body contained to provide them with energy. Maybe they had never met their mates?

I noticed the vampire look at me oddly, and felt a cool breeze envelope my body. Shivering, I glanced down at my body and realised I was... how do I say this? ... naked? Nope. Um... nude? In my birthday suit? I think I'll stick with freezing. I glanced up quickly and shouted at the vampire.

"TURN AROUND!!!"

He obeyed quickly and his cheeks flushed. Being a gentleman (even though he had been staring at me while I was 'freezing'), he threw me his black coat. I quickly stripped the dead body beside me (yes, host bodies die if they are possessed long enough to become unconscious) and got changed into the clothes my host body had been wearing. I threw the coat over the body, not wanting to encourage the pervert standing near me.

"You can turn around now." I said gently, mainly because he was my mate (I'm never gentle, or sweet, or caring etcetera).

He turned around, and his eyes widened.

"Am I really that bad looking?"

He quickly said an answering no, and I decided the suspense was killing me. I turned and walked briskly back to the lake.

"Please be black, please be black, please be black ..." I muttered. I was talking about my hair colour. As you might have guessed, I liked black. A lot.

I heard him say "Wait up," and felt him run to my side. "Where are you going?" He asked me.

"To the lake." I answered unenthusiastically. I may have just found my mate, but after centuries of being alone, I found his presence quite annoying.

~*~

I reached the lake, after having my patience stretched quite thin, and quickly rushed to see my appearance. I was disappointed. My outfit was the same, and fit me even better than it had fitted the host body. My skin was nicely tanned, and my lips were red (what a nice change). My eyes were a silvery gold, but my hair! My hair was red! I slumped against a tree in defeat.

What did you think of the demon? The vampire? You will learn their names soon enough.

I'm still accepting character suggestions. I will need a few werewolves, so some werewolf characters would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your support.
