(P.O.V: Earline)

"Did you call for me?" A male voice spoke, but I was in a dark place, making it sound like the voice came out of nowhere.

"Yeah, or else I wouldn't be here now would I?" I asked in a sort of smart tone. I just stared straight ahead with a blank expression on my face.

"Well no need to get a attitude with me, my precious Earline." The voice replied, a small breeze blew past the back of my neck. It felt like nails glided across it sending a small chill down my spine.

"What are you waiting for, you know what I want Matthias." a bored expression spread across my face."

"Well you sound desperate." Finally, a tall man with light silver (almost white) hair stepped out from the darkness. He looked like he belonged in England with what he was wearing; a white button down dress shirt, a dark grey formal vest, black trousers, and a pair of black shoes that looked like the came straight from the 40's. The only abnormal thing about him were his razor sharp teeth, and his pure red eyes. His hair was sort of long, but shaggy so it made him look "hot". He looked not a year older then 26.

"Shut up," I snapped then paused for a while "I could always just go ask someone else."

Did I mention he was smirking before? Oh, well he was... Until I made that last comment.

"Fine," he began, walking towards me. His shoes made a tapping sound on the pure black flooring underneath us. Actually it didn't even look like they were standing on anything, more like a large glob of shadow. "Deal?" he asked holding his hand out to me. His fingertips were claws, and his fingernails were black.

"Deal." I breathed, placing my hand in his. I felt myself become dizzy, tired, then... Nothing.

"Yes, my dear Earline."

I awoke to sunlight hitting my face, shining through a crack in my blinds that covered the window in my room. 6:12 AM, time to get ready for school.

Just getting ready for school made me what to kill myself. I hated my school, always have always will.

That's normal for a 16 year old though.

How silly of me! I didn't even introduce myself!

My name is Earline Olive Marry, not a name you would hear every day is it?

I am in the 10th grade at R. Rilay's High School in New Jersey.

My life sounds pretty normal so far, right? Wrong.

A knock on my bedroom door made my head shoot up "What do you want?" I called out, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. I had to get up sooner or later. I hopped off the bed walking over to the door, opening it a little bit. I only opened it enough to where I could see who was standing at my door. In front of me stood the same man from my dream "What Matthias?" I asked with a sigh, opening my door more. He was wearing the exact same thing that he always wore, even in my dreams.

"Do you always wake up with my gun in your hand, or is this a new thing?" he shot a question right back at me. I hadn't even noticed it, but I was in fact holding a shadow black pistol in my hand. I must have grabbed it off of my night stand once I heard the knock at my door.

"You know I'm very protective of myself," I handed him his gun turning away from him "Ever since my parents left I have to watch over myself."

I felt a hand grab my wrist, pulling me back to face the doorway "You know I would not let anything happen to you, Earline. It's my job." His red demonic eyes stared straight into my dark ocean blue eyes. He was right, it was his job. He did it pretty well actually.

My eyebrows furrowed at him "Yeah yeah I get it. Now what do you want?" He must have a good reason for bugging me when I was trying to get ready for school.

A smile spread across his lips, showing his sharp teeth "Just came to say good mornin-" but my fist stopped him from talking, I had punched him in the face, hard. "You know damn well I'm not a morning person, and now I might be late because of your little good morning stunt." I hissed through my teeth, slamming the door in his face.

Matthias just stared at the door for a while until he finally walked away, laughing "Love you to Milady~!" He called back as he continued walking away. He knew I meant him no harm, or anyone harm. I'm actually really kind even if it doesn't look like it!

He knew why I was like this; he was the only one, and he will continue to be the only one.

I opened my closet wide grabbing a plain black shirt and a dark blue hoodie; out of my drawers I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans. I stripped off my pj's, then threw on all the clothes I had grabbed. I really didn't care what I wore to school, I wasn't going to get all dressed up for a bunch of idiots that barley even knew what the square root of 144 was.

It's 12 by the way.

I walked out of my room over to the bathroom where I brushed my hair and my teeth. Then I walked downstairs.

"Come on Matthias we have to go." I yelled, my voice bouncing off the walls in my empty house.

I felt a breeze hit my back lightly, knowing that it was him "Not eating again?" he asked, but yet when I turned around no one was there.

"Do I ever eat?"

"No."

"Exactly." my eyes slid down towards the ground. There he was on the ground. Not literally laying on the ground, I would call him a idiot if he was. Instead, he was my shadow.

I'm sure you can already tell Matthias isn't a "Normal" person.

He was a demon.

I'll explain more later, but for now I really had to get to school.

I opened the door walking outside, I pulled a small key out of my pocket locking up the house so no one could break in. Then I began to walk to school, Matthias still my shadow. "You know that's not healthy." his voice rang through my head.

"It's also not healthy for me to have a demon." I shot back smirking a little, I always had this sort of attitude with him. "Your not my father, nor my mother, so you can't tell me what's healthy and not healthy."

"I might not be apart of your family by blood, but I am the closest you have to a father figure."

"I know Matthias, and I really do appreciate it. Even if I hate admitting it..." my voice trailed off as I reached my high school. It looked like a old prison that someone stuffed desks and noisy kids in, then called it a school. Students talked and gossiped as I pushed the entrance door open. The hallways were always the loudest in the morning.

I walked pasted people and lockers, no one even noticed I was there. That's how I liked it.

I opened the door to my first period class, English.

All the students were chatting with their friends, same as always. I walked to my seat in the back of the room where no one sat. It took me a while to notice the teacher wasn't in the room.

"I hear that we got a sub today." I heard a male voice say from the front of the room. I hate when we have subs, the students seem to go crazy when the real teacher isn't there. Normal high school kid behavior.

Then I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. First of all, no one EVER looked at me in this class, no one even knew I was here! Second, these weren't a normal pair of eyes, I felt like they were staring into my soul.

My heart began to race as the stares got worse, I felt my throat close up. I wanted to tell Matthias something was wrong, but no words came out of my mouth.

The bell rang, making me snap out of it.

"The hell..." I whispered to myself, resting my head in my hands. That has never happened to me before...

My head was spinning as I heard someone enter the room, someone new, someone no one has seen around. Great, a new student.

When I finally looked up, I watched the boy with the dark blue hair, and blue eyes walk towards me. I just stared at him for a while just like everyone else. He took the seat down next to me not even asking if it was occupied.

I tried my best not to stare, but it was hard not to! It wasn't everyday you see a boy like him walking into your classroom, then sitting down next to you like no one was around. I managed to stop starring at him as our sub entered the room.

He had an eye patch over his left eye. Freak.

The sub had black hair, he looked just as old as Matthias. He wore a black trench coat like professionals wore, a pair of thick black glasses, a black v-neck, black jeans, and black shoes. He had a strange vibe to him, just like Matthias.

I could have swore I heard Matthias hiss through his teeth, but it was probably just my imagination.

For some reason, once the sub took off his trench coat, all the kids sat down. That has NEVER happened before!

Something was extremely wrong here, and I didn't like it.

"My name is Sebastian Michaelis." his voice was as smooth as silk. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

"The hell is he doing here..." Matthias voice rang through my head, I have never heard him sound so mad before...

What the hell is going on...

So this is chapter one! :D I got lazy so I tried to cut it short... -

It will get better! (Hopefully you think so...)

I think I know most of the plot, so bear with me.

Still not 100% it's good though ._.

Gasp! Does Matthias know Sebastian!? Why was he so mad to see him around? What is Earline's past? So many questions...

Feel free to leave a review if you liked it? c:

It means a lot! I know I have a lot of mistakes here... Been a while since I wrote a good story!

Well, I hope you guys are looking forward to the next chapter!
