Author's Note:This is my first FF, so I don't exactly expect it to be good. Also, since there wasn't a Demonata category, I had to put it in the Darren Shan Saga one.

Someone's in the house. I hear scuttling on the stairs, and the door to my room crashes open. I try to get up, but I'm completely paralyzed. A hooded man in dark robes walks-no what? He's floating towards me! I call for the magic side of me to help, but it's dimmed out. The man studies me, observes me as if I'm some kind of animal in a cage. He then points to my window, which revealed a full moon. I feel my teeth curling over my lips, giving off an animalistic appearance. My fingers curve inward, digging into my palm. The beat of my heart slowly rises until it could've just bounce out of me.

His face starts to appear. But it isn't a man, it's…Bill-E?

"You killed me Grubbs." He whispers. "Now it's time to pay."


A scream downstairs. I rush out of my bed, and quickly walk down the flight of stairs, magic ready, tracing the source. It's coming from Bec's room, getting louder and louder by the minute. Kicking the door open, I see Bec huddled in a corner, trembling slightly. Her eyes were wide and fearful as she glanced at me and pointed to her fear. Right there, on the ground, was a radio-or what was left of it- repeatedly chanting 'Sony, 99.1!". I stare at Bec in disbelief, unable to register it all. Bec, capable of using magic to rip people to shreds, gets a heart attack from an electronic that plays music.

"Oh, for the love of God Bec!"

Besides the Bec incident, I knew this day would totally be cool. Reni agreed to go with my on a date to the movies, and for me that's the most normal thing ever. Unfortunately, everything else isn't. You see, I have an uncle who fights demons, an old man that's half demon, a grown boy who's lost both of his eyes, and a thousand year old girl scared of a radio, living in my house. Far from normality. Yet, demon killing is part of my everyday schedule. And guess what? I've also got this werewolf inside of me, threatening to come out whenever the moon is full. No biggie. It's all normal to me.

In the kitchen, making the happy family breakfast. Everyone's at the table, either chatting or waiting for something to eat. Bec is still pretty shaken up from the radio experience, which makes it all the more fun. I turn on the T.V. and she jumps out of her seat, bumping her head on the wall. I hide a smile, and start serving out the scrambled eggs. Beranabus gobbles into it, forgetting all about table manners. Kernel tries to pick his breakfast up with a fork, but misses every time, stabbing Dervish's hand instead. I feel sorry the guy. Being blind isn't an easy experience. Dervish is having a hard time eating his breakfast as well, trying to eat while dodging Kernel's lunges.

I grab a chair by Bec and start eating, chewing slowly as I think. Will the movies be normal? Am I going to turn tonight? Will Lord Loss be summoned by some psycho?

"Hey, I've finally got something to eat!" Kernel says happily.

"Ow!"


"Bec, are you absolutely sure you'll be okay with just Kernel?"

Dervish and Beranabus would be out for the night, tracking down demons in the Demonata universe, while I'll be at the movies with Reni. Bec reluctantly nods her head, knowing she would be in the house with a blind guy.

"Kernel, if you need help, well, just…" I trailed off.

How will he call help? He's too blind to see where the phone is; much less can he even dial a number. Plus, Bec doesn't know our technology, as demonstrated with the radio. Beranabus thinks for a second, and hands him a small marble. It was misty white, so it was hard to tell whether it was transparent or solid.

"If you need assistance, just transfer some magic into this. I'll track the magic down and we'll return."

"I would so much rather tag along with you…" he murmurs.

"I'm sorry Kernel, but this house is very valuable. I can't risk it being robbed." Dervish replies, and closes the door behind him. I couldn't help but feel worried. I mean, what are the chances of the house being robbed? Bec's got enough power, doesn't she? I shake it out of my head, and start to get ready for a date with Reni…and demons.
