said stupid, but I am starting to wonder if you might be crazy.   What on earth are you talking about?   Who else would I be expecting?” Gabe felt an overwhelming sensation of drowning as the questions flew out of his mouth.
    “I went back to the library and worked most of the night away trying not to think about it.   No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the image of the two of you, arm in arm, out of my head.   Urgh!   If that little slut were here right now, I would tell her exactly what I think of her.”
    “Oh my God!   Sophie, what has gotten into you?   I don’t even know who you are talking about.”   Gabe looked intensely at Sophie as he spoke to her.   Just as she was about to say something, Gabe thought he saw a flash of red flicker in her eyes.   As he saw the unsettling color change, Gabe felt his knees go weak.
    “What’s wrong with you?” Sophie demanded at the sight of Gabe’s stumble.   Her voice was lacking all compassion.
    “I don’t know.   I thought I saw…” Gabe paused as he tried to collect his thoughts.   He told himself he had to be imagining things.   Sophie was not a demon.   There was no way her eyes could have flickered red.
    “What?   What did you see?” Sophie barked, her voice even more commanding.
    “I don’t know, Sophie.   I think I need to go to the infirmary.” Gabe quickly suggested, trying to change the focus of their conversation.
    “I don’t think so, Gabe.   You are not getting off that easy.   You and I need to talk about this.”
    “Talk about what, Sophie?   I still have no idea why you are even angry.” Gabe pleaded.
    “You and I are meant to be, Gabe.   Some little slut is not going to come in and destroy our destiny.” Sophie replied with an aggressive anger Gabe had never seen before.
    “Slow down.   Who are you talking about?” Gabe tried to calm Sophie by holding her wrist, but it just seemed to make her angrier.
    “That girl from your class, err.   Don’t act like there is nothing going on.”
    “Are you talking about Neru?” Gabe asked, shocked by Sophie’s harsh depiction of this innocent girl she didn’t even know.
    “Whatever her name is.” Sophie snapped, rolling her eyes in disgust.
    Gabe grabbed both of Sophie’s shoulders tightly, forcing her to look into his eyes.
      “Sophie, I promise there is nothing going on with Neru.   I just met her and she is simply a nice girl who happens to be in my class.   I actually spent most of my time with her talking about you and how much I love you.   You are what I think about, Sophie, do you understand?”
    “Oh Gabe,” Sophie threw her arms around Gabe’s neck and began to hug him wildly.   “I’m so sorry,” Sophie whispered between the dozens of tiny kisses she planted all over his face.
    Gabe pulled himself free of Sophie’s grasp and gave her a confused glare.   Her attitude had changed to the complete opposite in a moment’s time.   Gabe was stumped by what to make of her odd behavior.
    “Sophie, are you sure you’re alright?”
    “Of course, silly.   Why wouldn’t I be?” Sophie cuddled up close to Gabe’s cheek.   Gabe couldn’t explain the feeling he had inside, but he knew something wasn’t right.   This was not the way Sophie behaved and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
    “You seem to be all over the place.   One minute you want to kill me and the next you are kissing me all over.”   Gabe explained.
    “Would you rather I be mad at you again?” Sophie asked, attempting to be flirtatious.
    “No, of course not.   Oh never mind,” Gabe added, deciding he would simply keep a close eye on Sophie for the time being.
    “Well, if we’re all right, I guess I better get to class.   I wouldn’t want Raimie and Dina to worry.” Gabe said, trying to once again pull himself free from Sophie’s grasp.
    “I wouldn’t worry about them too much.   I doubt if they are even there,” Sophie muttered as she took a step
