Vampires and Demons

Let's Be Friends

I walk back up to the school and go inside. I have to find that kid. I walk all the way through the building out to the quad and that's where I see him sitting by himself running his hands through his hair over and over again trying to figure out what the hell just happened. I walk up to him and tap his shoulder.

"Hey." I say. He jumps up and scoots away from me.

"Stay away from me. You're a monster." He says. I sigh and sit down next to him anyway.

"I need to tell you what that was. I'm sure you're probably already wondering since you saw it." I say. I look at him and he kind of nods. I sigh again and run my hand through my hair and look at the ground. "I'm a demon." He looks up at me. "That man back there was my father and those were my fathers demon minions. They do this every time I even try to settle into a new home town." I say. He looks at me with concern written on his           face.                                                                                                                                                                    

  "Isn't that a bad thing? You make it sound like it's not a very big deal but you could die. I mean he attacks you everytime so that must mean that he attacks you a lot. And with the crazy shit I saw today I'm surprised you're even here." He says. I shake my head and smile.                                                       

 "That's the funny thing. No matter how hard he tries to get rid of me, I can't die. He knows that but he still insists on attacking. Even if I had gotten cut in half with that axe I would have just healed right back up. That's just how it works." I explain. He nods and I can see him trying to process everything in his mind. "I know this is all quite difficut to understand. This is usually why I never talk to people at the schools that I go to. I can't get too attached because I nver know when I'm going to have to move to the next place." I tell him.                                                                          

  "Yeah. I got that but why would you keep moving? If you can't die when he attacks you then you shouldn't have to run from him, right? Or is it something else that's keeping you moving?" He asks me. I nod thoughtfully as I think of an answer. Did I have any real good reason for Keeping myself moving or did I just do it because I was scared?                                                                    

 "I honestly don't know why I keep  moving. Maybe it's because I'm scared. I don't know why but I think I'm scared for the people that will be around me when I get attacked. Because demons can be anyone and they can appear anywhere at any time. I don't want anyone to get hurt on my account." I tell him.                                                                                                                                                    

   "Well, I think you should stay this time. Make friends, find people that you know you can trust, maybe someone that knows your secret and knows your weakness and rely on other people for a change." He says as he stares off into space. I just stare at him with my mouth gaping.                 

  "Are you suggesting that I stay just so you can have a friend?" I ask and he starts laughing. He looks at me.                                                                                                                                                                           

"No, but that would be nice. I think you need other people in your life other than that abusive father and his evil minions. You know change things up a bit." He says. I scoff at him. I don't need friends but he's right it would be nice to change my life up and throw a little twist in. I sigh and look at him.     

 "Alright, I'll stay and be your friend because you live a lonely little life and can't talk to people." I say. He turns to me glaring but realizes that I'm joking when he sees the smile on my face. "That was funny." I say and he haha's at me. "Well, I'm glad that you want to be my friend and all but aren't we missing like all of our classes right now?" I say.                                                                                

  "Seriously. Did you have to ruin the moment?" He asks. I nod smiling. "Fine. Go to class, I think I'm going to stay out here and think a little bit more." He says. I nod and get up and walk back inside the building.
