     “Now rate that chick.” An impulsive vampire smirked staring at a pale girl with long silver hair.  Jerome looked to the vampire and only rolled his eyes smirking.  “What?” The vampire asked almost always irritated with his friend’s smirks.

     “Sager, that chick is a ghost.” Jerome chuckled as he turned to face the dark hallway filled with the dark creatures of the night.” Sager ruffled his Almond brown hair with irritation.

     “You know we can’t all be sexy daemons with hot witch girlfriends, some of us have to make do with what we got.” He muttered as he continued to stare at the transparent girl. 

     “Speak of the devil.” Jerome mumbled, no change in his low tone as a girl with bright fiery red hair jumped out of nowhere and pecked him on the cheek tossing a bright curly strand over her shoulder. 

     “Talking about yourself again?” She giggled wrapping her arms around his waist coincidently pushing her chest closer and closer.  He only raised his eyebrows unimpressed while wriggling out from her grasp and kissed her on the forehead.

      “I’ll meet you at our spot later.” He purred as if he had done it thousands of times.  She giggled again and nodded and kissed him hard on the mouth and practically skipped away in her extremely undersized dress. Jerome groaned, annoyed.

       “DUDDEEEE, you are one lucky man.” Sager practically drooled “I mean did you see her a...”

       “I am so sick of those kinds of girls.” Jerome interrupted scanning the hallway once more.

      “Hey guys!” A boy with light blonde hair came up hand in hand with a girl who looked disorientated.  “This is Mora.” He motioned toward the girl he had at his arm smiling. 

      “Did our little fallen faerie find a girl?” Jerome chuckled teasing. The cute blonde guy put his head down embarrassed.   

      “Shuuutt Upp.” He mumbled cheeks reddening.

     “I don’t believe I have seen you around here miss, my name is Jerome.” He smiled an admirable charming grin and took Mora’s hand and kissed it lightly.  Mora smiled sweetly obviously flattered.

      “Show off! Hey I’m Sager.” Sager grinned nodding. “Now how did our innocent Dyre pick you up?” Sager teased ruffling the blonde boy’s hair

      “Guys quit it!!” Dyre shouted looking quite upset.

      “Dyre, it’s okay, I have to go anyway, See you later.” Mora said as she kissed his cheek. “Nice to meet you boys.” She added smiling and turned and left.

      “My guess is she goes to TSB.” Jerome said immediately after she left. Dyre looked up shocked.

      “Yeah, how did you know?” Jerome shrugged

      “She looked quite fascinated and scared all at once, all of the TSB girls look like that.” Jerome chuckled at his own joke.  Dyre shook his head annoyed but then looked at the daemon puzzled.

      “Dude, your eyes are bright red.” Dyre announced more than questioned.  This made Jerome’s thin lips curl into a wicked smile.

      “Hmm I must go.” The daemon grinned and vanished on the spot leaving behind the faint scent of burning flesh.
