“She's strong, especially for a premature new born. The powers that she developed are at what would be their highest, but they still seem to be growing. Paymon, never have I ever seen anything like this.”

My father looked at me knowing that my eyes were burning orange. “Calm down, Jez.”

“Why should I? I'm not 6 anymore, I'm very capable of understanding what you guys are talking about yet he's referring to me as though I'm not even here. He's an ass.” I glared over at him. “Sucks doesn't it?”

He sighed before continuing on. “I'm going to have to keep an eye on your powers, what role you play just isn't apparent.”

“Now see, that wasn't so hard; was it?”

He left the room with out answering my question.

My father closed his eyes and rubbed a hand over his tired face. This is the third demon doctor we've seen in the past three days and not a one of them can figure me out. All of them want to set me up as some sort of lab experience. Others, like this one, are terrified.

I am in no way complaining that I missed the past three days of school, but I do however miss my friends and of course Minor.

Maybe it's just the town getting to me. I've been here so many times before and each time I hate it. What's so good about Paris? Sure it's pretty but really I don't see what all the hype is about.

I grumble out words that make absolutely no sense at all as we walk out of the office into the crowded streets.

My blood begins to pump harder as all the lies start entering my system, by far the best part of Paris. The rumor mill about other designers and just people in general are such a constant. It's not something you think about until you get the chance to have this power.

My father an I split off, he headed towards our hotel as I went exploring. I didn't go to normal tourist attractions, where I'd been several times before but instead into the outskirts. I wondered through the forests in search of anything spectacular.

As it started to grow dark I left the woods deciding to go clubbing. I went off to the hotel, grabbed something to eat, and pampered myself for the night out.

I slipped on a skin tight red dress. It had long sleeves and a low cut back. The dress came down to mid thigh on me. I usually go against wearing dresses but it made me feel good about myself. I even put a little more effort into my hair and makeup before sliding on my black leather, studded ankle boots. I put on my mother's necklace and headed for the door. As I was walking out I grabbed my leather jacket and slid my keys into my pocket.

~~~~~~~~~~<><><><><>~~~~~~~~~~~

My blood was pumping along with the base blasting throughout the club. There were sweaty girls and guys everywhere. Girls gossiping about other girls who where hitting on the man they were aiming for. Making up stories about how disgusting and slutty they were. It was exhilarating.

An hour later, I step outside in order to get some much needed fresh air. Non-stop dancing in a very crowded space is so extremely sweaty.

There was a burning pull in my stomach, much like the one I felt with Natalie the day Gray showed up at her school. I took off in the direction it was commanding me to go. I didn't hesitate or falter in step as I realized I was heading straight for a dark back alley. The second I heard I girl whisper out the words, “Please no,” I took off running. I was still a block away but as I heard the rustle of her trying to fight whoever off.

I stepped into the mouth of the alley and made my self vanish. I walked towards the tall, muscular frame who had a beautiful girl around my age pushed up against the wall. By her accent I heard earlier I knew she was British. She let off little power telling me she was a young demon. She looked as though she hadn't even been trained properly, of course if she had she probably would've escaped by now.

The need to protect my own kind kicked in and all I could think about was that guy just dropping to the ground because of heart failure. I opened my eyes preparing myself to attack, making myself visible. The second I opened my eyes though I saw the man already on the ground, not dead but seizing.

I looked at the girl stunned, “How did you do that?”

She looked at me just as stunned, “I didn't do that. How would I be able to pull that off?”

Minutes passed as we plastered our eyes to the man on the ground. He'd died completely seconds after I'd asked the girl how.

~~~~~<><><><><>~~~~~

It was unexplainable. My father hadn't the slightest and the doctors were just as stunned to this man having heart failure. A man with an incredibly healthy heart doesn't just fall over in die.

I knew, though. I'd been testing it out since we got back to the hotel. The girl was with my father waiting on her parents as I sat in my hotel room concentrating on random things.

My room was more or less destroyed but I wasn't in any way, shape, or form caring. Nope, instead I was staring at the news paper on the coffee table willing it to catch fire. Seconds later it became nothing but an orange glow before turning to ash. The coffee table remained unaffected by the paper that had been in flames just seconds before.

A firm knock broke through the silent room. I opened the door for my father at I remained on the couch trying to think of any other demon ever having this ability.

“I did it,” I spoke to my father as I kept my eyes fixed on the ashes still.

“I figured as much, but how.” He asked as he sat next to me on the couch.

“I willed it to. That's all I have to do. Want something to happen and it does, just like that.” I thought of the newspaper being whole and readable again and there is was. I knew I could make inanimate objects go back to there original form, but I couldn't bring the dead back. “I might have killed a cat also,” I muttered sheepishly, “I wanted to see if I was capable of bringing things back to life. In case you haven't guessed it, I can't.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel for that cat, really. So, let me know what ya think, Comment, Vote, Follow? Those are all up to you. :D

Oh, by the way, Jez's outfit is off the the side!! ----------------------------------------------------------->
