FIRE DEMON

chapter 41

Opening my eyes, I don't know where I am, or what happened to me. My body won't respond to any commands, calling my fire, it won't even respond to me. What is happening to me?

Movement next to me, making me jump. Looking over, Alex is lying next to me, sleeping. "Alex? Alex wake up." He moaned opening his eyes. "Hey. You doing okay?"
"No. No I'm not. Why can't I move?" Sitting up, moving closer to me.

He started poking, and prodding all over me. "I don't understand what's going on, you should be able to move." "Well I can't." "You need to feed." Bringing his wrist to my mouth. "Drink, hopefully it will help you." Nodding I bit into his wrist, his blood spilling into my mouth.

After four good swallows, I let go of his wrist, letting the sensation, flow through me. Ever so slightly, I can start to feel my limbs again. "What did you do Z?" "What do you mean? I didn't do anything." I said shaking my head. "Z Yesterday, you freaked out, and your demon side came out, as well as your fangs. Then you passed out on us." Shaking my head.

"I don't remember any of that."

Managing to move, I sat up, looking at Alex. The doors burst open, Violet came running in; jumping at me. "Thank god you're okay Mom!" Smiling, I held onto her, she just called me mom. "I'm okay baby. I'm going to be fine." Sitting back, she stared at me.

"What happened to your eyes?" "What do you mean?" "There still blue, but there so pale now, there almost silver." "Really?" She and Alex nodded. "And your hair is a lot longer than it was before." "It's okay. Are you okay?" "Me? I'm not the one that died. When I saw you, I was so scared, I never want to see you like that again. I lost my mom, and I won't lose you too."

Hugging her tight, Alex left the room, going to the bathroom to give us some privacy.

"You don't have to worry. Alex gave me his blood, I'm all good sweaty. Do you know you called me mom?" She gave me a look. She had no idea she called me that. "I did? I'm sorry." "It's okay. You can call me mom if you want. It won't bother me in the slightest."

Her phone went off. "It's Nick. He said dinner is ready, and will be served in a couple minutes." "Ok. I need to go change." Helping me up, my body still isn't back to normal. "What happened to you?" "I don't really know. I used both my powers, and it kind of drained me." "You need to be more careful."

Alex said coming out dressed in jeans and a button down. "I know. I didn't mean for that to happen, she just made me so mad. I snapped." "Who made you mad?" "Her name is Elvira. She's an ice demon, and doesn't like me all that much. And frankly, I don't like her either. So I guess we're even." Going to my room, I grabbed a dress, since I'm not sure I can manage pants just yet.

Grabbing a long simple red and orange dress I went behind the screen to change.

"Hey Z?" "Yeah hon. what is it?" "Are you and dad getting married?"

Shocked I don't know what to say right now. "I don't know. He hasn't said anything. Why has he said something to you?" "No. I just know that you two love each other, and I think it would be nice if you did. That's all." Stepping out, Violet got me a pair of flats I can step into. "Come on. You need to eat."

Following her out, we made our way to the dining room, there's flowers on the table, and candles lit everywhere. Alex Nick and the other are there waiting for us, sitting next to Violet, food came in, and we sat down to eat. "I'm so glad that you're doing better Zaphira." "Thank you I am as well." Violet poured herself a glass of blood, and poured me on. Taking a sip, it tastes like heaven. Drinking the whole thing it's like I haven't drank anything in days. "So what is going to happen to me?"
