Laura finally reopened her eyes and jumped in my arms. So cliché,but I guess she was really scared. I was too and I'm not even a human anymore... I just realized that I tend to bring up the fact that I'm no longer human quite often. There must be a battle in my head.

"Ross,what's really going on?"she asked as I placed her on her own legs.

"Do you know anyone named Angel?" I asked. This question will decide how much I can tell her.

"Angel.... Ah! Yes! She was my grandmother's best friend,but she died when she came back from a trip. She was supposed to marry my grandfather because of their parents,but before she died,she convinced his parents to let him date my grandma,so she is basically the reason I'm standing here in front of you." she explained,looking up.

"Yeah...You shouldn't look up there,you should look down there."I pointed to the ground.

"What are you talking about?"she raised her eyebrow.

"I don't know if I should tell you... Humans don't usually believe in those kind of things..." I debated whether tell her or not.

"I just saw two hideous creatures trying to kill me. I think I believe in everything now."she giggled.

"This is not a joke,Laura. It's more than you ever knew about. I-I don't want to scare you."I placed my hand on her cheek. Woah! I have really huge hands!

"You are so cold!"Laura whispered and took my hands in her small,warm hands.

"After you will hear what I have to say,you won't be this close to me."I said,taking a few steps back, to give her enough room to run if she wants to.

"What are you talking about,Ross?"she took a step closer.

"Have you ever heard about demons?" I asked.

"Yes. Of course."she nodded,still confused. Her confused face was actually cute if I would say so myself.

"Well those two creatures were demons and.." I trailed off. Should I really do this?

"And?"she gestured for me to continue.

"And so I am."I said,turning off the lights,so she could see my real form,but instead of that, only my eyes turned red.

"Your eyes..."she whispered and I could almost feel her shocked expression.

"This is who I am Laura. I am a demon." I turned on the lights again,so I could see her better.

"W-what do you want from me?"she took a step back.

"I am friends with Angel.She's a half demon as well."I began.

"No... she can't be one! She was good. She died of cancer! You're lying!"she yelled .

"I wish I was..."I sighed."But she was kidnapped by some demons and I have absolutely no idea how to rescue her,but somehow she brought me to you. I guess she thinks you are the key."I scratched the back of my neck. I kind of used her and I know how girls react to those kind of things,but the player thingy is the last thing both of us have to worry about at the moment.

"And what if I don't want to?!"she snapped. "You would've killed me or turn me in a demon as well!?"

"It isn't about me! It's about Angel! You said it yourself. If it wasn't for her,you wouldn't have been here. I think it's time for you to return the favour,but I will give you some time to think about it."I turned around,ready to leave.

"Wait!I want to get out of here!"she stopped me.

"Oh yeah. Right. Sorry. This way." I brought her outside and disappeared. I think she needs some alone time to process everything because it's a lot...

While she was thinking about the day,well kind of deal. Whatever it is! I had my own things to worry about. Like my demon side... All those creatures were ugly and cold. To them,happiness and pain mean the same thing. They can't feel. I can. I also can control myself. I have ration. Sure,I want to hurt and I am dominated by jealousy,but still.

I remember wanting to be a vampire when I was a kid. But now I see the truth. It's more than what Hollywood lets us see. Way more! It's not just some pretty guy with natural powers. It's a demon. Something with no feelings that can't control himself at night. It's a hideous creature that can't think. Humans who are possessed do so many things that a normal human wouldn't do. That a normal human isn't capable to do.

But I am not like that. So what am I really? Where do I come from? What really happened to me after that trip? Is my family still alive? How many years have actually been?

The strange thing is that I know a person who can actually answer all of those questions for me and this is why I need Laura. To rescue her. Angel is a know it all and she's always hiding things from me.

The night soon came along and I decided to take a walk on the beach. I used to love that when I was alive. It's just so relaxing... and sometimes you just need some time off to get your mind off of things.

But as I was walking on the sand,I heard a voice.

"Ross! Wait!"

"Yeah?" I turned around,only to see Laura running up to me.

"When are we leaving?" she asked.

"Now that's what I wanted to hear!" I cheered.

"That didn't answer my question"she giggled. This trip should be fun...

I feel so weird while writing this book. I'm actually scared every time I write a chapter.  :)))
