V.

i wake up and look around confused by my surroundings before remembering where i was

ah right im at that humans house.... almost forgot

the lights were off except a few but i could hear a faint muttering coming from somewhere

i stand up quietly to investigate

i walk towards the hall near what i assume is Ryan's room

i put my ear up to a door and listened

"it's 2 am Mara what could be so important that you had to show up here..?" ryan said groggily

"i swear ryan i had a weird feeling.. i woke up and something felt off" a woman's voice said

"are you sure you're fine?"

"yes i'm sure.. please go home and get some rest, im fine"

"alright.. sorry for bothering you"

"it's alright, goodnight Mara"

"goodnight"

i heard one of the doors in the hallway open and i ran as quietly as possible to hide

but it was too late

a girl walked out and immediately spotted me

she stood frozen and so did i

she looked bewildered and concerned

"RYAN?!" she yelled

"now what..." he said walking out

"ARE YOU AWARE OF THE MAN IN YOUR LIVING ROOM?!?"

ryan walked out and stared at me with 'a are you kidding me' look

"yes Amara i'm aware of the man in my living room.."

ryan turned on the lights

"..hello" i say nervously

"ryan. explain now."

"this is a friend of mine, his name is shane"

she didn't seem convinced

i ruffled my hair slightly to hide my horns

she walked closer silently

ryan looked nervous

she seemed to judge me as i was hiding something and she knew it but she couldn't figure out what

"alright.." she said

i sighed

"wait.." she noticed something

her eyes widened and she immediately ran over

"YOU-! I KNOW WHY YOU SEEMED OFF."

"w-what?"

she grabbed me by my shirt

she moved my hair slightly and reveled my horns

"DEMON." she hissed

"you DARE mess with my friend you filthy beast?!" she yelled

"Amara please" Ryan said and walked over

she turned her head

"what?!" she asked

"leave him alone please." he said

i was terrified by this point, i just couldn't go a second without my life being in danger

"what do you mean leave him alone?! ryan, it's a demon-"

"i know but please Mara just let him go"

she loosened her grip on me

"okay now i need more of a explanation." she demanded

"ryan i can explain.. i mean there's not much to explain anyways.." i mutter

"alright" he said

"so?"

"so i know this is unbelievable but i was being chased for being a demon and ryan saved my life. he was kind enough to let me stay tonight.." i say

she looked at him to confirm and ryan nodded his head

"look i get demons trick people a lot but give up the shy afraid act."

i didn't know how to reply because i wasn't acting any way, this is just how i am...

i am afraid.

"i know you won't believe me but i'm not acting a certain way at all.."

she rolled her eyes unconvinced

"ryan please you can't be serious about letting it stay.." she looked over at him

"im sorry Amara but i cant let someone suffer."

"you're saying that like it's even capable of feeling.." she whispered to him harshly

"please just go amara i'm fine."
"i have protection." ryan spoke

"fine.. if you need me you know where i'm at" she muttered and gave me a death stare

"goodnight" she said and left

ryan yawned and mumbled out "i'm going back to sleep.."

i laid back down on the couch and heard the door to his room shut

i laid awake for a little just thinking about what the hell just happened but eventually i managed to fall back asleep

i woke up and looked over at the clock on the wall
it's 6 am
i sat up and looked around, ryan wasn't awake yet
i stood up and went to find some paper as quietly as possible
i found a piece on the counter and a pen next to it
at least i don't have to search the whole house now-

i wrote on it:

𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔.

- 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑒

that looks good. i set it on the table

i grabbed my jacket off of the floor by the couch, i put it on and walked over to the door and left

it was cold and the sun was just barely rising

however it was still rather nice out

i wonder if i'll ever meet him again.
