I was walking to school the same as every other night before soccer practice. The cold constricting my chest and making me want to run. Then I saw her at the corner. Just slowly rubbing her scarf between her shivering hands, her breath clinging to the chilled air she has nothing else but a t-shirt and jeans to shield her from the cold.
She turned to me with a puzzled look as I walked over to her and asked "Are you okay?" and she turned to me with a dazzling smile and said "The cold makes you feel like you're alive doesn't it?" I was left speechless at such a comment in winter weather. I looked down at my phone and saw it said 8:46pm I said out loud "Crap I'm late!" I took one last look at the shivering girl and dug into my bag and tossed her my spare hoodie and said "Stay warm... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name?" she had a slight blush when she slipped my hoodie over her head and told me "Cosmina and yours?" I felt my face heat up when she looked at me and quickly blurted out "Liam" as I ran towards the field. Then it hit me, her scent, it wasn't human. Later at school we had a new girl and when I saw it was the girl from earlier I looked at her and said "So you're one of us huh?" she looked down and I asked "Vampire, wolf, witch or angel?" she didn't answer just walked away, didn't matter though id have my answer soon enough.Lunch finally came. The cafeteria was divided into four sections, the vampires in the darkest corner with the 3 busted overhead lights, the werewolves with the reinforced tables and chairs, the witches nearest the exit ready to run at a moments notice, then there was my group, the angels with the weather proof tables and offering altar at the end of every table to pay tribute to our holy parents. I walked over to my group and took my seat. then i saw her and finally i would have my answer, she walked to the line grabbed her meal and walked out then i realized what she was..... a demon, there was a dead silence throughout the cafeteria not even the wolves were moving as the heavy door swung shut and the realization settled over the room. Another demon had come to come to take residence at our small haven of Moonrise High.
