My Demons (On Hold)

Ch. 9: Mother Trouble

Our eyes panicked with the thought of what would happen if my mom caught us up here.

I tried to think up  a plan, "Uh....Leo, you're now Leona, my friend hanging out. Orion, you're invisible, just stand there."

"Of course, I'm invisible, I can just stand here..."

He continued to mutter and complain.

I looked at Leo, "Act like a girl."

My mom opened the door, "Oh. I didn't know you had company over."

"Yea, this is Leona. She just came over to hang out for a little. She was about to leave."

My mom smiled, "Leona would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Spend more time with my love? How could I turn that down?"

I shot him a glare, but at least he sounded like a girl. Besides, the 'my love' part.

"Your love?"

"Yea mom. It's just the nickname she gave me."

My mom nodded her head, "Dinner will be done soon. Come downstairs in ten minutes."

"Kay."

My mom walked downstairs, and I sighed in relief, "That was close. Leona you idiot! i swear you were dropped on your head as a baby. Right Orion?"

I turned around, and Orion was no where to be seen. 

"Orion? Where'd you go."

Leo fell to the ground, "Guess I...couldn't fight it off either."

"What? What're talking about?"

"Your mom...had some kind of spell on her. It...weakened me immediately, I thought I'd be fine cause I'm half human. Guess not." 

"Here, I'll walk you home."

"No it's fine. I'm fine."

"No. I'll tell my mom that you're not feeling good, and I'll walk you home."

Leo sighed, "But I wanted to eat with you!"

"Well that's not gonna happen unless you find a way to get rid of the pain."

"I could drink your blood."

"What? That's disgusting."

"Your mom is obviously a priestess, and a powerful what at that. You have her blood, so you could negate whatever affects she's having on me. Or you could make a contract with me."

At that moment his ears and tail appeared out of no where.

"What the?"

"It happens when my emotions get aroused, or when I want them to."

I closed my eyes for s second, and breathed in.

"Why do you want to make a contract with me so bad?"

"Cause I want to be with you all the time. I want to be one with you. I want to be yours."

I gaped, "Uh..." Then I started to blush. "But I don't want want you to be trapped with me. I want you to be able to do what you want of your own free will."

"But you are my will." He pulled me down to him until our noses were almost touching, "I want you, and I want you to want to be with me."

He started to lean closer to me, "Skylar! Dinner is done."

Leo pulled away, clearly his moment was ruined.

"Fine." I whispered.

I grabbed  a pair of scissors off my desk, and sliced the blade across the tip of my index finger. i shoved my bloody finger in front of his face.
