The Necklace

Chapter 10

"What the hell was that?" He asked me, I ignore him and kept walking. Chase grabbed my hand, making me turn around and look at him.

"Tell me what the hell that was?!" his voice pleaded.

"Him and I are dating now." he let go of my hand and took a few steps back.

"B- but I..." I wait for him to finish, but he doesn't. "Why, why are you two dating?" I look at the floor, then back into his eyes. His eyes were blank not showing me what he was feeling.

"Because he likes me in a way you don't." He opened his mouth to say something, but thought better of it and closed his mouth. I bit my lip and turned around and made my way to my room.

I knew this was to make him jealous but deep down I knew this was really for myself. Chase couldn't fall for me the way I was falling for him. James was nice to me. He's thoughtful and sweet. I didn't have a chance with Chase. The sooner I accepted it the better. I groaned and flopped on the bed. It was only 2:36 so it's not like I could go to bed.

"Hello princess." I wasn't surprised anymore.

"What can I do you for Mal?"

"Oh, Mal. We have nicknames now!" I sigh and turn over on my bed,

"What do you want?"

"I wanted to see how your date went, and how your innocent demon friend is doing."

"The date went well, James and I are dating. Chase is upset but he isn't doing anything evil. So you don't have to worry." I curl up so he doesn't see how bad I feel for hurting Chase.

"As an angel I know what you are thinking. And...Chase won't be hurt. He's still a demon under that disguise of human flesh." I get up and glare at Maldonious,

"He does have feelings, if you would just try and see him, and not try to only look at the demon in him then you would see that. I'm starting to think you are the demon." Maldonious stared at me in disgust before running a hand through his hair.

"I think you need to learn more about demons before you fight with me on this. You don't know things I do."

"Then tell me, what happened with you and Chase's parents? I want the truth." Mal sighed and straightened up.

"Fine, full honesty. Demons can't love, well they can't. Instead they just reproduce to spread evil. Angels reproduce out of good." I look at him and think to myself, guess the angels don't know what good is if they produced him.

"That was uncalled for. I can read your mind, doofus."

"See, that's what I am talking about. An angel should ask before reading someone's mind, you are going through my private thoughts. Oh, and that name calling, that wasn't very 'good' of you. If you really want me to think there is some good in you then go away, I don't want to talk at the moment." I turn away from him. Maldonious sighed and sat down,

"You wanted the truth. Don't ask if you didn't want to know Princess."

"You didn't even answer the question I asked." He squirmed,

"What aren't you telling me, why isn't Chase telling me." His eyes dug into mine.

"If I tell you it will be different from what Chase is going to tell you, because he's a demon and demons lie." I roll my eyes.

"I thought angels were supposed to try and find the good in others. At least that is what my mom used to tell me." He looked at me with sad eyes, "This isn't about Chase's parents, Sierra. I am sorry about your parents and their passing." I look at him, then up at the ceiling.
