Demon's Desire

Chapter Two

Adeline Porter looked smug, very smug. In fact she looked like she had just won the lottery. She was up to something and Jakeson Porter would bet anything it had something to do with the jock-like looking guy he had saw her with at the car park of college.

They were half way home when Jakeson couldn't take the strong, prominent brain waves that were flowing of her in bucket loads any longer. "Right that's it, your mind's like an open book. What are you up to?"

Shrugging, Adeline lazily curled a long strand of hair around her pointer finger as she stared deep in thought out the window, looking deep into the dense forest covered grounds.

"Addie, seriously what are you planning?" Her brother demanded frustrated at her vague non-answer. He knew he could force the answer out of her after all he was much stronger than her, but unfortunately he wasn't completely heartless and he didn't wish to cause his sister any pain.

A deep irritated sigh left Adeline's lips, and she stopped twirling her hair. "I'm just trying to make the best out of an unwanted situation!" She snapped, irritated at his constant bugging of her thoughts and plans.

"Just because this situation is unwanted doesn't mean you can play mind games with the humans Adeline!"

She crossed her arms huffing in a deep breath. Adeline knew her brother wouldn't understand, he never did. He was allowed to be a part of her fathers games and his job, whereas she was expected to help the thing around the house doing cooking and laundry. "I don't care Jakeson! You're actually allowed to have fun with the humans so why aren't I?"

Jakeson was sick of explaining the same thing over and over again to his younger sister, but still he explained once more. "Because Adeline... Our fun doesn't attract unwanted attention, it's simple and harmless. Your fun always ends badly, I know from experience." His words were spoke calmly, but the undertone of anger was still audible to Adeline.

"I don't care!"

She sounded childish, both of them knew it. Adeline however was sick of her families constant denying of her having fun, always they had said that the humans should be left to the males, surely the couldn't also deny her of some simple mind games?

He was seething, how dare she not care about their families safety. She couldn't survive with the burden of their dear father's or pregnant mother's death on her hands so why must she say such things? "What would father or mother say if they were to hear you now! I can't even believe someone as self-centred as you are really related to myself!"

Adeline gasped, horrified, but not at the obvious accusation of her being concited. "Now you are calling that- that thing our mother! What the hell is wrong with you, she's scum!"

Jakeson's eyes widened, he had know of her hatred but never had he considered it to be bad enough to hate her own mother. "How dare you, she carried you for nine months, gave birth to you and you repay her with hate and horrible words! How selfish are you?"

Scowling, she leaned forward in the chair checking her new shoes for scuffs or mud marks. Adeline was disgusted that he didn't share her hatred for their mother, why shouldn't he. There were the obvious reasons for him to defend her, like her being the one who birthed him, but still what made her so special? Jakeson cleared his throat making Adeline's gaze swing from the car floor to himself, his eyebrows were raised in a silent question asking her to go on.

"She's a human all humans are scum, only useful to relieve the hungers!" Adeline countered, her voise raising the finality of the discussion and Jakeson didn't question it.

As mythical creatures who were born to feed of parts of the humans Jakeson could understand his sisters hatred for humans, but what he couldn't understand was how she could hate the woman who had took care of them.  Surely the small fact that she was human couldn't dent the love shared between them?  It was hard for most of the species back home to show any affection toward the humans, since birth they were taught and pushed into hating them.  For both Jakeson and Adeline it had been the same, but for Jakeson his love for their mother had always lasted.
