Chapter 1: Demon Meets Shinigami

I've never had to go to school before.

I don't want to either.

I've never had to really socialize with anyone outside the mansion. Besides the sale ladies, who I have to talk to when I buy my clothes.

"Molly. We're here." I pat down my skirt, and slide my pale foot outside the SUV's door. My black flats tap the ground as I look outside at the school ground.

"Bye, Dad." I flash a fake smile, and his red eyes make a happy look. "He's coming with you."

The blue haired boy behind me comes out behind me. He shuts the door closed, and the car zooms away.

I clench my hand, which is holding my messenger bag.

"Are they- nice?" Ciel looks at me.

"Molly. You're fine."

A blonde boy, which I don't recognize runs up to us. "Hey, is this demon girl?" I stare at Ciel, my eyes turning fuchsia. I pull out my water bottle. I start to drink when Ciel says something.

"Molly, this is Alois." I choke. And burst out laughing. Ciel punches my arm.

"Yeah. Molly Michaelis." I walk away, heading to a free table before the bell rings.

"I've got to go, see you later." Ciel says to the blonde one. "What is wrong with you?" He glares at me with his freaky fuchsia eye. I mean, when I do it, I have two eyes.

"Alois. Like the one who tried to seduce you?"

"Wha- How do you know about that?" His face turned bright red.

"My dad told me stories. I thought you killed him."

"Yeah, but he became a demon."

"That plot line is way too mainstream." I glared at him, taking the last sip of my water bottle.

"What about you then?" I put both hands on the table and tilted forwards, like Ciel does.

"I was born this this." I snap in a whisper.

"Whatever." He rolls his eyes and runs off to his demon friend.

I open my flip phone. I look at a picture of mom. She is well... In the demon world. I've never met her. Maybe when I was born. Dad took me in.

A pale hand pushes down my phone.

"I'm trying really hard. But I can't figure it out." The girl sitting in front of me has red hair and green eyes. She also has black glasses with a white skull painted on the side.

"Right..." I turn my back to her.

"You're new. That's it." I look over my shoulder, and the girl smiles.

"Uh. Yeah." I turn back to her.

"I saw you with Ciel." I blush. I mean, does she think... "Are you two together?"

"No." I feel my face turning bright red.

"I've seen everything at this school. But, never a demon falling for another demon. That's a human thing." She chuckles and protrudes her hand.

"I'm Shana." I shake her hand, that is protruded in front of me.

"I'm Molly." It suddenly passes my mind. I have a friend.

"Let me take you in for your physical." She gets up from her seat and grabs my hand. She pulls me into the right wing of the school.

She takes me into a small room with a red cross on it. She sits me down and finds the nurse.

"I'll be in the hall." She giggles.

"Well, hello. I am Nurse Noble." She reaches out to shake my hand.

She takes me over to a scale and scribbles something down. She takes me to different machines, and I just follow the specific directions.

I can't say my real age. Or species. I have to fake it... I guess.

Finally, she gives me a sheet.

"Hand this to the office please." I thank her, and walk out the door.

"So, let me see..." Shana grabs the sheet and smiles. "You totally lied didn't you." She laughs.

"I mean, I can't tell the woman that I'm 124 years old. Now can I?" She fixes her glasses and hands me back the sheet.

"Nope." She hangs her arm around me. "Oh, and I'm older by a year." She laughs. I laugh too. I've never done that before. Or at least since I was little.

Late at night. Young master was asleep. My dad would tuck me into my bed. He would have his uniform off, and he would have a plain shirt and pants on. It was really nice seeing as a dad, and not a servant to a wealthy master. He read me stories. And before he blew out the candles, he would kiss my head. His hand would slide beneath my hair. His other, his left would sit upon my head. The one with the faustian seal on it.

"Daddy." His head would be picked up from right above mine. He would smile.

"I love you, musume." He let me blow out all the candles I could, then he would blow out the rest, after I ran out of breath.

"Hey, you ok?" Shana asks me. I guess while I was thinking, I was quiet.

"Yeah. I'm alright." I stare at my colorful books held in my hands. My nails are black. They're just like Ciel's and Dad's.

"We better get going to class, Mo." Mo. That's what dad calls me.

"Ok." I walk in sync with Shana. We both turn right into Professor Marc's class for English. I flash our tardy pass to the teacher.

"Take a seat, Miss Michaelis."
