Demons & Powers

Chapter 4

My eyes snap open. I'm lying on a sofa drenched in sweat and groaning in pain as red blotches appear on my skin. Where am I? What did that Irish guy say to me? How am I going to explain this to my 'parents'?

"I see you're awake." He says, Standing in the doorway

"I guess so." I say yawning and rubbing my eyes.

"I would have woken you sooner but you looked so cute lying there." He says after a moment.

"You were watching me sleep?" I ask. Cute? Are you serious? Who says that?

" I cannot prevent myself from looking at such a beautiful person, can I?" He says and I am blown away by the fact that he called me beautiful. I've known him for like 5 minutes and he's calling me beautiful? I'm confused. He walks over to the sofa and sits down.

"I asked you a question, didn't I?" He asks. His tone of voice tells me that he's annoyed.

"Well you could easily do-" I begin but before I can finish he leans over and kisses me. The fact that I burn when I come into contact with water doesn't matter and all of my worries melt away for a brief second. Then for about 30 seconds after I just sit there staring at him, by face bright red.

"I knew that would shut you up."
