A Test of Love, Affection, and the Demonic.

Chapter Ten

I sit in silence not knowing what exactly to say. How does one teach a demon how to love? Who says they can't love? Where the hell do you even find a demon?! What if I ca-

"Sierra?" I hear Phillips voice bringing me back from my panicked thoughts.

"I'm here. I have a few questions." I wait for him to tell me to go on before I continu. "Where do I find a demon?"

"It finds you. When you get really stressed or something, it shows up and won't leave until you're okay, and it stays if you tell it to stay, or it absolutely wants to."

"O-kay." I mull that over for a few seconds before continuing. "Am I the only one who can do it?" I can hear him breath in as if hes going to say something, but stops. He waits a few more seconds.

"Not exactly. You have to beat Darcy to it."

"What do you mean?"

"She placed this part of the curse. The whole demon thing. Her rule was if she could make the demon love her first, then you're stuck with the curse for as long as you live. However, if you beat her to it, then the curse dissipates and she leaves this country and isn't allowed to return, or see anyone she knows now ever again."

"And she came up with that?"

"She has a lot of confidence that she can do it."

I sigh. "Do you happen to know how to teach a demon how to love someone?"

"You have to make it fall in love with you. And I hate it, but drunk me loved the idea."

"Where do you and Beck fit in with all of this? What do you have to do?"

"Make sure the demon doesn't actually take one of you back with it. There have apperantly been cases where the demon falls so much in love that it wants that person forever and takes it back to their dimension with them."

"Lovely, Phil. Just glorious." The sarcasm cascades off of my words.

"Sierra, I'm sorry. But you do kind of deserve it."

"For what, Phillip?"

"For choosing Beck over me." He says hesitantly.

"Excuse me? Was I the one who cheated? Was I the one who betrayed the person who was completely infatuated with me? Was I the one who got drunk and set a fucking curse on you with one of your ex best friends, who I cheated on you with? Fuck no! You did that shit! You ruined my life! You destroyed almost all of my friendships! All of my trust in people is completely gone! Be glad i havent done the ssme thing to you, bitch. Mind who the fuck you're talking to before I fuck you up, you get me?!" The rage boils in my blood. His silence said it all, and suddenly I can't stand to listen to this boy one more second.

I hang up right as he started talking again. I honestly could care less about what he had to say at this point. Whatever it was could wait. I have bigger issues to deal with

How do I tell Beck?
