looked nervously over at Eric and then to me, “Me and Eric, we’re…different.”
“ Obviously” I blurted out.
Eric sat up in the recliner and started to stare intently at his hands. “I don’t think you understand. We’re very different. We’re not human.”
“ I’m sorry, what?” They had to be high or something.
“ We’re not human.” He repeated. “We’re demons.”
I let out a laugh and threw my hands drastically in the air. “Oh God I was right, I attract crazy people.”
Eric shook his head and Seth moved a little closer to me. “I know it sounds nuts but we are. There are a lot of things you don’t know about what goes on the world and we’re one of them.”
“ This is ridiculous.” I breathed out.
Eric shot up out of his chair and went to the kitchen. He returned seconds later with a big butcher knife. I jumped up and looked at him wearily, wondering what he was planning on doing with it.
Before I got a chance to say anything he slid the knife across his hand. I cringed as the blood started to gush out. But then, just as suddenly, the bleeding stopped. He wiped his hand on a towel to remove the blood and showed the cut was already gone.
“ I’m gonna be sick.” I said rushing down the hall.
I ran to the first door I saw and luckily it was the bathroom. I could hear Seth yelling at Eric back in the living room as I shut the door behind me. When I made it to the toilet I realized I wasn’t really going to be sick so I leaned against the wall and rested my head on my knees.
What had I gotten myself into? This was more than any one person could handle. Maybe someone slipped something in my drink and I was passed out in a drug haze or whatever.
I dug my nails into my arms and felt the pinch. No, I was awake and this was all real.
Nothing made sense anymore. I had so many questions that I was getting ready to blow up. I wished I was sober. Then again, I could use another shot.
There was a soft knock at the door and I popped my head up from my knees.
“Cam, are you okay?” Seth said through the door.
I crawled forward and unlocked the door. It slowly came open and Seth stood there with a somber look on his face.
“ Do you want me to take you home?”
“ No, I want you to tell me the rest.” I said bracing my hands underneath of me.
He came forward and went to help me up but backed away like he was afraid to touch me.
“ Seth, I don’t hate you or anything. I’m just really confused right now. I know you would never hurt me. At least I don’t think you would.”
He spoke almost spastically, “I wouldn’t, I swear. You are the one person I would never hurt.”
It was nice to hear him say that but things between us were still a bit awkward. I walked by him and went back to the living room. Eric was sitting back in the recliner with his hands resting on his thighs. He looked so calm.
“ You alright?”
I nodded before sitting down. Seth sat beside me causing our knees to touch and it felt a little nice. You would think just the sight of him would be repulsive after what they told me but I was still attracted to him the same as I was before.
“ So what is it you guys do exactly?”
“ We work for another demon, a much older and more powerful one. There are other demons and things out there that are trying to take over certain cities by killing humans, dealing drugs, gambling. We get rid of them, or at least we try to get rid of as many of them we can.”
“ So you’re like protectors?” I was trying to get the idea and understand everything he was telling me.
A small smile came on his face like he was hopeful. “I guess you could look at it like that. But there’s still a lot more to it, a lot more going on.”
I turned to Eric. “What about that girl that died, Lauren? Were you lying to me when I asked you about her earlier?”
