Chapter #1
I walked up the stone steps to my own personal hell. I was surrounded by perky teens, stinky teens, and worst of all school work. Yup just another day of high school in deer port. Even the name was terrible I mean who names there town deer port and the high school? Can you guess what our mascot was? Yup a deer. I mean I haven’t even seen a deer here in my life and I was always in the forest so there was really no reason to call it that. I sighed and pulled up my striped socks that reached to my knees. I was wearing shorts, a plain black shirt, a fender hoddie, black and white striped socks , and chained combat boots. I did look pretty spiffy If I do say so myself. I looked at the blond next to me in distaste she was head to in pink. Just as this town the high school was very cliché meaning there were clicks. The blond next to me so just so happened to be Tiffany one of the most loved girls in school. All the guys wanted her, all the girls wanted to be her, and she knew it. She tried her best in making my life miserable from snide comments or random bumping into me in the hallways. With anyone else I wouldn’t have been so upset I am after all a pretty calm person. I hated violence or at least I told that to myself. I had to always make sure I kept my anger in check since I was possessed by a demon. Ill explain that latter on. Back to Tiffany me and Tiffany had been friends in elementary and middle school. She had been a nerd then and had been made fun of just like me only I was made fun of because of my blue hair. Then all of a sudden halfway through last year she had transformed into a beautiful swan. She went from frizzy blond hair, big glasses, small chest, and big teeth. To long smooth blonde hair, no glasses so now we all noticed those beautiful gray eyes, perfect teeth, and a body to kill for. I had to hand it out to her she was amazingly pretty. But with that she became a snob. At first she had stayed with me going over to my house and watched movies. It was almost the same except she had to make sure her new friends wouldn’t know she hung out with the creepy girl who talked to herself (in my defense I didn’t talk to myself I talked to me demon) then she just stopped talking to me altogether. Leaving me all alone with no friends. I could have gotten new friends but it would have just been a bother. Tiffany had been used to my creepy family but now with kids my age they wouldn’t be so excepting. I walked into the classroom only to see Lucien sitting in my seat. He was my demon so no one saw him. But if they did they would proudly be scared shitless. He was handsome in a very scary way. His eyes glowed red, his hair was just as red and was shaggy, he had a tattoo of a dragon on his face but it didn’t look occurred just made him look even more hotter and deadlier, he was tall 6 foot 9, had fangs and was pale. What made him more scary was that evil smirk on his stupid arrogant face. Normal people would have been scared of there demons or as some call it there mate but I refuse to acknowledge the fact that I was his mate to be. When I was born he had chosen me when demons mate they do it the minute their mate is born they just get a call and then tada he clams me. My parents have yet to figure out that I was a demons bride. Witch surprised me since I was always being smothered by my overly loving father. He loved me a little to much sometimes. I hated always being near this guy this is he was always pestering me such as he was doing now. Here’s how it works he annoys me until he can get me to scream at him in the middle of class where I would look like a total maniac. I sighed just wanting to get this day over and done with I mean seriously why would I need to be in school anyways I’m way to smart to have to sit in here and listen to the teacher go on about history. I mean really my father was there for the civil war and way before that. But I still sat down I sat right down on Lucien’s lap yup that’s right. Hey I had no other choice. I braced myself for him to tease me about how he knew he wanted me but instead he surprised me. He sighed with content and put his head in my hair. Wow now this is not a side I was used to. I mean yea he has his sweet moments but he never dared to show affection I always got angry when he did. But for some reason I knew he needed it so I decided to let him off this time since I was kind of enjoying it. Wait did I say I was enjoying this? Well I wasn’t I couldn’t be could I? I shook my head and looked up to the front of the class room to see a girl who could only be new. The first thing I noticed was her socks. They went up to her knees and was black and red checkered. Then I noticed her nose piercing. Sweet I loved it I had a belly piercing and but that was it. I would look funny with that.
“My name is kira I moved here from Florida.” wow what was her parents thinking moving to South Carolina? My teacher Mr.Maltion pointed to the desk with a bored expression.
“you can sit there.” she nodded once and sat next to me. She smiled at me and I felt warm in I don’t know a I want to be her friend way.
“hmmmm seems like you are finally going to make a friend.” Lucien said. He was always bothering me to make friends. I rolled my eyes and reached in my bag to get my pen Gina. My pen was shaped like a bird and could actually talk to me I’m the only one who could hear her and she gave me answers. What I hated math! I tried not to keep looking at the girl who sat next to me but I couldn’t help it. There was something different about her I just couldn’t put my finger on it…

Kara P.O.V
I walked into a small classroom and looked around. I wasn’t even nervous people just didn’t make me nervous they were all ignorant anyways. I was different then everyone I could see things the way that that people couldn’t see. I could see the supernatural world. I was looking around when I fond what I was looking for. It was a witch I was sure of it. She was very pretty though she had light blue icy hair, dark blue eyes, was about four foot nine, pale skin, and had a tattoo of a raven on her neck that was clutching a heart. She was sitting on a guy who had his arms around her waist protectively. He winked at me. Let me tell you something he looked terrifying. He was a demon and I was guessing she was his mate although the way she sat told me she didn’t like that fact. She should have been happy though it was rare for a demon to chose a bride. After saying my name I made my way to the seat next to her. I was happy to sit with her and not the group of blondes that were sitting in the corner. I could feel the girls stare as I looked down at my paper not looking up knowing she was trying not to be caught. She was most likely trying to figure out what was so different about me. I heard the bell rang and I turned to her.
“um I know we just meet but I was wondering if I could sit with you at lunch.” her eyes widened and she nodded eagerly.
“of course you can!” I was rewarded with a smile from the demon who mouthed “thank you” to me I only nodded in response. I could tell this was going to be one weird friendship.

Chapter #2
Back to the witches P.O.V
I couldn’t believe I had acted so excited. I most likely looked desperate! I groaned at that thought sometime I was such an idiot. At least Lucien had decided to leave me alone for the rest of the day. He was acting so strange! I mean he never left me this early and he was never quiet. I walked to the lunch room I was relieved since it was halfway through the day. I felt a tug on my sleeve I looked back only to see a smiling Kara.
“Hey Shadow you ready for lunch.” I felt excitement it had been so long since I had sat by someone. I lead her to my table only to see it was occupied by some blond guy. When I looked closer I realized it was Tyler the caption of the football team he had another guy sitting by him. I cleared my throat.
“hey your sitting in my seat!” I felt smug when I saw him jump about five feet in the air.
“Oh um well I know its just I was wondering if I could talk to you?” I looked at him like he had grown three heads was this some kind if joke. Despite the fact that I was suspicious I nodded and lead him to a now empty hall. I looked back at Kara signaling that I would be right back. Turning back around I found myself staring at him. He was so hot!!! He had big brown eyes, blond hair, was about 5 9 and was tan. I blushed I had always liked him since first grade.
“you wanted to talk to me?” I asked as coolly as I can I was trying to act like the fact that he was talking to me did not make me want to scream. He shuffled his feet nervously.
“do you reamber that day we were in art and we talked?” I felt my face get reder. This had to bad I thought remembering how I ranted on and on how people here only cared about football and didn’t care about art. I forced myself to nod. He smiled.
“well ever since that day I started to like you. So I was wondering if you would like to go to a movie or something?” although he asked this it sounded more like a fact almost like he knew I would say yes. I frowned wondering if this was a dare. Well if it was a dare then I would make this interesting.
“Actually I have another idea. I was wondering if I could surprise you?” he smiled.
“of course you can so ill pick you up at eight pm tomorrow?” I nodded then walked back to lunch. I cackled as I thought of my plan.
“why are you laughing in such a manner my new friend.” Asked Kara with an amused look on her
