We found the house and rung the doorbell.
"Honey, go get it. It could be Mr. Gabriel."
"Fine..."
A portly man opened the door then he froze.
"Hi Dad."
"E-Erica?"
She flinched.
"Sorry for running off, I-"
He hugged her.
"Honey, I was so worried. Mr. Gabriel said you were with people that could defend you, but I was so scared. Please don't do that again."
"Darling, who are you talking to?"
"Erica is back!"
"SHE IS?!"
A woman ran over and hugged Erica.
"Hi Mom."
"You got a lot of explaining to do, Missy."
Then the woman smiled.
"But for now, let's go inside... who's your friend?"
"She's the person that kept me safe."
"That's wonderful. Come in um..."
"Rose."
"Ms. Rose, come on in, I was just preparing dinner."
"Thank you."
"It's no problem."
I entered the home and saw a kid.
"Hey, Daniel."
"Lady, get away from my sister."
"???"
I was confused and so was everyone else.
"Daniel, she's a friend of mine."
"Erica, my friend's saying she's a monster."
"Is that your friend?"
I pointed to the woman hovering above the kid's head.
"Rose?"
"How can you see her?!"
The kid was shaken and so was the woman.
"It quite simple, I have a high magic density, so I can see things most others cannot."
I smiled.
"That includes spiritual beings that want to hide themselves."
The woman sighed and revealed her visage causing Erica's parents to jump, but Erica merely moved her hand to her waist and narrowed her eyes.
"I was told you were observant little lizard, but I didn't expect that."
"So, what is a demon doing here?"
"Quite simple. I was looking for you."
"Why?"
"My master wants you to evolve."
