Miracle City, a strange and mysterious town home to three types of beings. The humans, the spirits, and the demons. The spirits and demons were powerful beings that can use magic. Their powers come from nature, they can take on many forms and turn invisible. Neither of them can be seen in their true forms by humans unless they allow themselves be seen or if they posses the gift to see and feel their presence. But that is where the similarities end, you see they are actually completel opposites. Spirits were mostly good and tried to help mankind by protecting them but demons were evil and had little to no goodness in their hearts, mischievous creatures who delighted in the misery of others.

However despite their endless power there were rules that both spirits and demons had to follow, decreed by the council. They were forbidden to resurrect the dead, take over the universe, or do anything that would upset the balance of nature. But the most important rule of all was to never fall in love with a human. The love between a spirit/demon and a human could lead to a half spirit/demon being born and the council believed that such a being would cause great unbalance in the universe. Now there were spirits and demons who would break those rules but not one of them would ever dare let a a halfling be brought into the world that is until...

It happened on a cold rainy night. A nun named Dolores was working late in the church when she heard a loud banging on the door.

"I wonder who that could be."

She opened the door to find a woman on the ground, dripping wet from the rain. She looked to about in her late teens, she had long dark brown hair and brown eyes which were crying a river of tears. She looked like she was suffering unbearable pain and kept clutching her stomach which visibly showed that she was carrying a new life.

"Help me!" She begged. "Please help me!"

Dolores helped her into the church and got out two blankets and some water. Then she laid the young woman down, covered her with one of the blankets, and began to help her get through hours of contractions and pain.

"Okay you're doing great." She said. "Just a few more."

"Oh my God! Something's wrong! I can feel it!" The girl screamed hysterically. "Oh God! Help me!"

"Now push!"

She screamed and cried as she struggled to give birth to her child. As this went on Dolores prayed to God in her mind that all would be well.

"One more push!" Dolores said.

The young woman pushed harder than she ever had and let out a blood curdling scream. Then cries of a baby were heard.

"It's a boy." Dolores said as she wrapped up the baby in the second blanket.

The woman looked at her newborn son, smiled weakly, and passed out from exhaustion. Dolores quickly sent someone for help and went to babtize the infant while waiting. Outside, watching everything from a far was a man in his early twenties, he had black hair and a strong chin. He blew a kiss toward the unconscious woman and her baby then disappeared into the night.

fifteen years later...

"My father's gonna kill me!" Walking home from school was Frida Suarez. A fifteen year old girl with medium length blue hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She had been late to school again and the teacher decided to send a note about it. This was the third time it happened this month no doubt this would cost her, her rock and roll privileges. But that was the least of her worries because when she came home.

"Frida! This is unacceptable!" Emiliano shouted.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry."

"As punishment you're going to go out and pull up wild onions."

"What?! You're crazy! Getting those out will take forever."

"Then I suggest you get started young lady. I want at least ten out but if it gets dark before you finish you can come home."

"Yes sir." Frida grumbled the whole way to the fields. For hours she tried to pull up the wild onions but they were as tough as nails.

"Hey look Sofia! It's the blue haired freak!" Frida glitched her teeth as she heard the snickering of Carla and Sofia. Two very snobby and annoying girls who liked to make fun of her.

"What do you two brats want?" Frida asked.

"We just wanted to help." Sofia said.

"Really?"

"Yeah somebody has to let people no about your stinky new job!" Carla cackled.

Frida clenched her fists but smiled mischievously when she saw a pile of rocks.

"Ah-ha! Ha! Ow!"

Threw a rock which hit Carla right in the leg. She threw another one at Sofia's foot. She picked up a third and began to lightly toss it up and down as a warning. The girls quickly ran away screaming.

"Yeah that's right! Keep running! Go on! Get out of here! Scram! Before I shove my fist up your jaws!"

"I'm telling my daddy!" Carla called.

Frida laughed to herself feeling very pleased with what she did until she heard someone else laughing. She turned around to see if anyone else was there. But she couldn't see anyone or anything.

"Hello?" She called. "Who's there?"

No response.

"I know you're there! I heard you!"

Still nothing.

"Hmm. Must've been hearing things. Oh well back to work." She grabbed on to the onion stem and began to pull. "Come on! Come out!"

But it was a futile effort.

"Great! What else can go wrong?"

She heard a rustle up in the trees. She looked up at the trees but she couldn't see anything. No she did see something, hiding between the branches was something or someone. It was a boy, looking down on her.

"Hey! Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's not polite to stare?"

He didn't say anything.

"Hello up there! Are you deaf?"

He still didn't respond.

"Hey I'm talking to you!"

The boy looked around and then pointed to himself questionably.

"Yeah you! Hiding in the trees! With the big ears! Who the heck are you and why are you spying on me?"

He dropped from the trees, landing on his feet. Frida's eyes widened in disbelief at what she was looking at. It was a boy about her age but he had cat ears, whiskers, claws, and a tail. He had green eyes that were cat like.

"You can see me?" He asked surprised.

"Ye...yes." She said backing away. "I'm not blind."

He walked closer to her as she back up against a tree. He looked at her skeptically as if he was expecting her. He poked her chest a couple of times and fiddled with a lock of her hair.

"Um...This is very uncomfortable for me so could you please stop?" She stood there awardly as he sniffed her hair, neck, and arms but she drew the line when he sniffed up her legs. "Hey! Get off!" She kicked him in the face.

"Ow! I think you broke my nose!"

"Serves you right! Looking up a girl's skirt!"

"Oh please! You're not even my type! I was trying to figure out if you were human."

"Of course I'm human! What else would I be?"

"Well you certainly smell like a human. But if you are one then how can you see me? I'm invisible which means humans can't see me."

"Well I can see you just fine and I'm definitely human but I'm not sure what you are." She looked up at his ears and began pulling on them. "Are these real?"

"Hey! Stop that!" She pulled on his tail. "Cut that out! Geez! That hurts you know. Seriously do you do that to everyone you meet?"

"Do you sniff everyone you meet?"

"Only the ones that are funny looking."

"Ugh! How dare you! I'm funny looking?! You're one to talk! You look like something made in a lab."

"My you've got a big mouth. I wonder who..." His ears twitched as he listened for something.

"Hello? Hello? Earth to weird cat boy?"

"Run." He whispered.

"Huh?"

"Run!"

"Run?"

"Yes! Run! Now!"

"Why?"

Then out of no where a tree was thrown toward them. The boy quickly grabbed her and jumped to safety.

"What the heck?" Frida thought.

The ground shook as a large, gruff man came running toward them.

"You are dead meat man!" He called.

"Run!"

Frida took off running as fast as she could. She heard a tiger roar which made her run faster and faster until she came home. She quickly shut the door and locked it,

"Okay, okay, Frida. Calm down this is just a hallucination from...from something. Now I'm going to just take a deep breath and lie down."

Her parents had gone out and her sisters were shopping so she was alone. She turned on the TV and fixed herself some tea. An hour later she heard a tapping at the window. She went outside to investigate but didn't see anything.

"Probably my imagination again." She said going back inside.

"Probably not angel eyes."

Frida gasped to find that strange boy sitting in her living room.

"Oh my God! How did you get in here?!"

"I just needed you to check the tapping outside so I could slip in through the door while you were distracted."

She grabbed a her father's taser and pointed it toward.

"Okay, you have exactly five seconds to answer my questions before I subject you to five kilowatts of electric power and I guarantee you there will br burns. Now are you? What are you? And why are you in my house?"

"Whoa! Take it easy princesa. My name is Manny Rivera I am human well half human but other half of the ancient tiger spirit. I am the son of Rodolfo a the white panther spirit also that big hairy oaf is El Oso a bear demon who wants to kill me."

"Uh-huh. Okay I thought you were crazy before but now I'm sure you're insane."

"You calling me liar?"

"If the shoe fits where it."

"Alright then how else would I look like this?"

She thought for a moment and realized she couldn't come up with anything else so she decided to go along with this until she could.

"Fine! I'll buy it. Let's say this is true. But why are you in my house?"

"You see Senorita-"

"Frida!"

"Beg pardon?"

"My name is Frida."

"Whatever, you see I'm not supposed to exist. Spirits and demons aren't allowed to have children with humans but my father broke that rule also he has a lot of enemies who want revenge but they can't find him so they go after me. Normally I do fine on my own but well I need to lay low for awhile so I thought I could crash here."

"What?!"

"So you got anything to eat? I'm starving."

"Wait a minute! You can't stay with me!"

"Why not?"

"Well for one thing I don't even know you! Second thing you're not even fully human, and third my father won't even allow me to talk to boys let alone live with one."

"Then don't tell him, easy."

"Here's an idea why don't you go home to where you live?"

"Because it's gone."

"What do you mean gone?"

"I...I used to live in a church til I turned thirteen then a demon El Mal Verde destroyed it. I've been on the run ever since."

"So you have no where else to go?"

"No."

"Don't you have a family? What about your father? Doesn't your father protect you?"

"I never knew the guy. I'm not sure he even knows I exist and if even he did he's forbidden from having any contact with me."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know that's just what I was told."

"What about your mother? Is she around?"

"Uh...I'd rather not talk about her right now."

"Okay I guess you can stay with me for a little while but no one must know about this especially my father and if you value your life you won't let him see you here."

"Don't worry I can just change invisible or take human form."

He snapped his fingers. His ears, tail, fangs, and claws vanished to reveal a regular looking boy with dark brown curly hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. "See?"

"Uh...you know you're naked right?" Frida said shielding her eyes.

"Huh?" He looked down. "Ahh!"

He changed back.

"Sorry I forgot the suit only works in my spirit form. When I out grew my human clothes I just stayed in spirit form for the next few years."

"Okay first thing tomorrow I'm taking you shopping."

They heard a car stop outside.

"That's my parents! Now stay in my room and whatever you do don't make a sound. If my father finds teenage boy in my room he will send me to a boarding school and shoot you dead."

"Harsh much."

He looked out the window and watched her father, mother, and their police dogs step out of the car.

"Oh no! You have dogs?"

"Yes so?"

"Uh-oh."

"What is it?"

"Well hiding won't be that easy if you have pets."

"Can't you just hide from them?"

"I can hide from people easily except you for some bizarre reason but animals have stronger senses in hearing and smell which makes it harder for me to hide from them. Especially if it's cats and dogs."

"Oh great! Okay just stay here."

She went downstairs to greet her parents. But as soon as they were inside the dogs began barking like mad. They broke loose and bolted for her room.

"Delgado! Tanya! What's gotten into you?" Emiliano called as he chased after the dogs.

"Dad! Wait! I can explain!"

When they got to her room, the dogs were barking and snarling upward where Manny was clinging to the ceiling.

"What's the matter with you two? There's nothing there!"

Frida sighed in relief that her father couldn't see him.

"Come on you two! Outside now!"

Emiliano forced them out of her room and outside. Frida closed the door.

"You can come down now."

Manny dropped to her bed.

"You call those blood thirsty things pets?" Manny asked. "I've seen wolverines more gentle."

"I'm sorry they just really don't like cats."

"I am not just a cat! I'm a tiger."

"But technically speaking tigers are cats."

"Well that aside I'm hungry."

"Okay I'll get you something. What do you normally eat?"

"Whatever I get out of the garbage."

"Ewww!"

"Don't knock it til you try it."

"You're disgusting!"

"Hey a guy's gotta eat. When you're on the run and you have no money you eat what you find."
