back, “some people have it and other times they don’t. You just got to accept it.”
“Are you saying I don’t have it?”
“No, I am saying you never had the chance to get it,” I laughed when he punched me in the arm.
“I’ll have you know that I can get a girl by just looking at her.”
“Then you lose her when you speak,” I shrugged. “You don’t have it.” I got up from my seat and ran. I could hear Casey behind me. I ducked behind trees and into some bushes. My heart was racing and it took everything inside me not to laugh.
I could hear him walking past me and farther into the garden. When I was certain that he wasn’t near I sprinted for the door, but arms wrapped my arms to my side when I grabbed for the handle. “Did you think you could get away easily,” his hot breathe ticked my ear.
“Yes, I was certain I could at least make it to the door before you caught me.” I looked up at him and smiled. “But I like this better.”
A smirk graced his lips. He slowly unwrapped his arms from around my arms and circled them around my waist instead. I was pressed against his body and lifted from the ground by a few inches. I was reaching up for a lock of his hair when the bell to go to fourth period wrung.
“We probably shouldn’t do this again,” Casey whispered. He had his eyes glued to the ground and his hair fell in front of his face.
I stepped out of his arms and grabbed the door handle. “I had fun,” I opened the door and stepped in. I didn’t look back, but I could feel his eyes strained to my back. I pushed pasted people and met up with James.
“Why did the principal need you?”
I turned my head to see if Casey came back in. He had his arms wrapped around Taylor like he did to me a couple minutes ago, “Nothing important.”


Chapter Five

I turned on my computer and went to the school’s website. Jenna and I got closer in the past few days and she was the one to tell me that I needed to check the list. I scrolled down the list, not really sure what I was supposed to be looking for, but my name caught my eye. There was at least five hundred students in our whole school and there was I, number fifty-six. I have been in the school for about a week and my name has already pasted up four hundred people.
I clicked my name and went to a profile of me. Someone must have token a photo of me, because there was I on top of one of the school tables outside. I was drawling something and there was a faint smile on my face. Honestly it was a great photo, my hair was blowing in the wind and the gloomy skies made me look like I was the only color in the world.
I scrolled down the comments and was surprised on what I found. I read many comments of how I show up Taylor without trying and I’m different. Apparently they don’t get different a lot in my school.
A faint knock came from my door and I closed out of my computer. I opened the door, “It is nine.” Bella was pulling her hair back and pulling on some sneakers.
“Ok, I will be down in a few,” I quickly changed out of my school clothes.
When I got outside Bella already changed and was hunting down her demon’s next dinner. I let the control slip and let Zila take the lead in our body. I watched her for a while, but it was the same thing I see every night.
Instead I slipped even farther back and roamed around her world. Zila lives in Hell, but she also has this little home thing in my chest. If you did surgery on me you couldn’t see it, but I could. I walked around Zila’s room and struck up a match from her bedside table. I’ve been in here before, but it felt darker in here.
I wandered outside; Zila decided she wanted my insides to be a forest. I grabbed a flashlight from where I usually stash stuff and walked into the forest.
It was creepy, but nothing is in the forest that can hurt me. It is literally in my body. I try not to think about that though, because it always confuses me. I shone the light towards the trees and climbed one. I usually came up here when I felt like the world is closing around Alex’s life.
In here I am a strong powerful demon.
I felt new blood flow through my body and knew she was getting ready to finish up. I jumped off the tree and started back to her little shack in the woods.
The door was ajar and a sliver of light came from inside. I panicked and grabbed the first thing that came to mind. I crept into the shack. I sat in the corner and watched as a man and a glow of light fought. It was strange, I wanted to scream, but nothing came out.
The man would attack and the light would shine brighter. They circled each other and that is when I noticed the glow was actually a man as well. They both were equally beautiful. I gasped ever so slightly and both men turned toward me. The darker one sucked up all the Light and the ball of light shone bright. They were different in every way, but had similar features that drawled you in.
Dark slowly came at me, but Light grabbed him and spun him around. Zila walked in and looked at me and the two men. She grabbed me and pulled me outside. She went back inside. She grabbed hold of the Dark and pulled him away from Light. Light shone bright in till he was gone; just vanished into the thin air. But I could still feel him near; he was out in the woods. I turned around and saw a faint glow in the woods.
I will find him soon.


I was picked up and carried. I watched as the person walked out of the woods and into the street light. “James?” I reached up and touched the stubble on his jaw.
“Rest,” he looked down at me and smiled. He had a beautiful smile, but not as well as Casey’s. Gosh I couldn’t stop thinking about Casey. He avoided me since the garden and anytime I try something, he looks away.
The saddest part is I am in the arms of someone who is just as beautiful and I think of him.

I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his chest. James walked through the streets until he reached my house. He carried me up the doorsteps and rung the bell. Trina answered the door, “What happened?”
“Can we come in?”
“Oh, sure.” She stepped out of the way to let us in, but followed us into the living room. “Alex are you Ok?”
“I am fine,” I grabbed my head. The room spun, showing three James and Trina’s. “Can I go to my room?”
“Where is it?”
“I’ll show you,” Trina lead us up stairs to my room. She opened the door for us and waited till James settled me on my bed before closing the door and giving us privacy.
The room was quiet, awkward for a while. “How did you find me?”
“I heard a scream from outside of my bedroom window. When I went outside you were on the ground. You didn’t look injured, but you pasted out.” He looked up from his hands, “I took me a while to muster up the courage to pick you up. I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“I’m sorry, I woke you up. I would have woken up by myself eventually.”
James sighed and ran a hand through his hair, “Why were you out so late?”
“I like to go on midnight walks when I have trouble sleeping. I bring a flashlight, but it must have fell out of my hands,” I shrugged. I stared into James’ eyes until he turned his head and sighed.
“You shouldn’t do that, you could get hurt.”
“Nothing out there can hurt me,” I climbed out of my bed. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. “I am sorry I scared you.” I rested my chin on his chest and looked up at him. I saw a faint smile grace his lips.
He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my hair, “Just be safe. You are way too important to get hurt in the middle of the night.”
We waked down stairs and I opened the door for him, “Sweet dreams Woods.”
“Good night Landenberg,” I shut the door and turned around. Trina was down the hall, she had a smirk on her face and a glint in her eyes. “What?”
“Oh, nothing,” she turned around and walked into the kitchen. I was going to follow, but I was too tired and I could hear the bed calling for me. I shuffled up stairs and changed. I fell into my bed and stared at the ceiling. Now that I was in bed, sleep wanted to play with my mind. So close you could see it, but not close enough to touch it.
Green danced around my vision and white glows of light as well. I know they were just my mind tricking me, but they felt so real. I could feel the warmth radiating to my body. I shivered in pleasure and peacefully fell into a slumber.

Chapter Six

I stared at Taylor. She was laughing at something that Casey whispered in her ear. It was Friday; the blood I infused in her on Tuesday should have made her dead by now. I grabbed on apple from Jenna’s plate and took a bite out of it. “You are going to burn a hole in her head,” Jenna pointed at Taylor and shook her finger in my face.
“I hope so,” I muttered and took another bite. Taylor had
