"…" Spoken

'…'- Thoughts

"Submissive. That's what I get called a lot, because I'm a half demon…"

My name is Cammie. I am a neko-hanyou (cat half demon) and because of it my dad beat me often. See there was a law that states that all half-demons have to submit to full demons (though that law isn't in effect anymore). So because my father is a full demon I had to submit to him and let him beat me. but that was 4 months ago. I live in a foster home now, the Livingston Home to be exact. They have been very nice to me and treat me like I've always lived there.

I guess you are probably wondering what I look like so I'll tell you. I am 15 ½, about medium height, I have brown wavy hair waist length with black streaks, blue eyes, and Pointed human ears (they look like elf ears.)

I don't know why but when I was little, my parents noticed that I didn't just submit to full demons as I was taught to, I submitted to humans too. (Not the bad kind of submission. it's the kind of submission where you do what you are told no matter what it is.)

But enough of my past lets get to my present. -

Chapter one

BEEP BEEP

Cammie slammed the alarm clock against the wall. It was the last day of summer. She groaned as she got out of bed. Tomorrow she starts her second year of high school. Which meant more teasing and getting picked on. Cammie never had friends at school only her foster brother Alex(who is 17 and a senior in High School.) Of course that was because she was submissive and a half-breed.

There were other demons at her school and monks and mikos (priestess), too. But there were no other hanyous.

Going into the bathroom she took a short shower and brushed her teeth. Coming back out and coming into her room she pulled out a pear of form fitting jeans a white camisole and her Green zip up jacket. Putting them on she went down to breakfast where her "mother" was making eggs and bacon.

"Morning Dear how was your night's rest?" Mrs. Livingston asked putting Cammie's plate in front of her.

"Fine" Was the only answer Cammie gave.

"So what are you planing on doing today?" Mrs. Livingston questioned sitting down.

Cammie looked at her. Mrs. Livingston was the cool type of mom. She wore Jeans and a T-shirt and a simple strand of pearls.

"I don't know I'll probably take Kyo down to the beach and let Him play around in the sand," Cammie stated finishing her breakfast, "where is Alex and Kyo anyway?"

Kyo is a little Fox Baby Cammie got a week after she came to live with the Livingstons.

"Alex is still sleeping and Kyo is sitting on the couch with Edmond" She responded eating her food and looking at the paper.

Cammie didn't say anything just walked into the living room and sat down with kyo in her lap. As she sat down Mr. Livingston(Edmond) gave her a kiss on the forehead and told her morning. They watched the morning news for a little while before Alex walked down the spiral stair coming from his room.

The Livingstons live in a huge house actually. It's a Mansion really. They all their own bathroom and everything.

"Morning Cam" Alex said kissing her temple and walking into the kitchen. Alex has always been protective of Cammie ever since she got there.

"I think I'm going to go to the beach with kyo today, K?" Cammie asked her "dad" as she stood.

" Ok but be careful." Mr. Livingston said as she quickly got kyo and walked out the door.

" OK!" she called over her shoulder.

AT THE BEACH

Cammie sat down in the sand. Kyo had fallen asleep on the walk over so she decided to let him sleep and just let him play when he woke up.

It wasn't long till he did. But of course when he did he decided to dart off.

"Kyo!" Cammie said running after him.

After about 5 minutes of running Cammie still hadn't caught him. Then she spotted him sitting down next to…'Oh no! That's not who I think it is, is it?' Cammie screamed in her mind, 'oh no that is its Jake!'

Jake is a full Cat demon and one of the most popular Guys in school. He was quiet when he was by himself but a jerk when he was with his friends. He always used her submissive-ness against her. Making her get him stuff and do his work. She hated him for it. It reminded her of her real father only her father was worse.

Slowly Cammie approached them. He seemed to be laughing as Kyo ran around him. Cammie looked at him. She had to admit he was gorgeous. He has Cat ears on the top of his head, due to his being a full demon. His hair was black and he had big brown eyes. The thing that made her nervous was that he wasn't wearing a shirt, only his black board shorts (which explained the surf board next to him.)

Completely walking up to him she called kyo to her, "kyo silly little fox come here."

Jake looked up at the girl before him. He smirked, "so isn't it my little submissive girl." He noticed her flinch. He felt guilty. He hated doing this to her, after all she was a cat demon too, half or not. But it was his friends he was doing this for. If he showed kindness to a outcast he would most likely become just that, a outcast.

Cammie flinched as he spoke. She also watched as he frowned. She wonders why this was but didn't voice her question. Instead she picked up kyo and turned to go.

"Hey!" Jake yelled after her. 'What am I doing?!?!?' he screamed in his mind. He watched as she stopped instantly and turned around. "Come here. I have a idea I think you might like."

Cammie hesitated but submitted to his command and walked back toward him. Setting Kyo back down she kneeled next to Jake.

Jake noticed she wouldn't look him in the face, "look at me." Cammie looked up at him a scared look on her face. "hey you don't need to be scared I'm not going to hurt you. I jus want to ask you something."

Cammie still had the scared look in her eyes, 'what is he going to tell me to do now?'

"I had a idea. You hate everyone teasing you and picking on you because you're submissive and a hanyou, right?" Cammie nodded, "well I was thinking that if you started hanging out with me and my group you wouldn't get picked on. So here is my offer, You hang out with my group and me and I can each you not to be submissive so you don't get picked on, sound good?"

It took Cammie a minute to process what Jake had said. She opened her mouth but closed it not knowing if this was a trick or not.

"What a is it? You can speak you know." Jake said slightly annoyed at her submissive behavior.

"Well how are you going to teach me not o be submissive? and how do I know you aren't tricking me?" Cammie spoke in a soft voice.

"you'll just have to trust me on this. Ok?" Jake looked at her. He knew that she would take hard work but he was willing.

" …ok" Cammie hesitated.

"Cool ok well I have to go now but meet me at the fountain in front of the school at 8:30 ok?" Jake said standing up and grabbing his board.

She nodded and picked up kyo but for turning once again to go home.

"hey!" Jake called once again to her.

Cammie turned and looked at the boy one more time.

"See you tomorrow" He waved and ran toward the Huge beach house a few feet away.

Cammie smile softly and walked home, wondering what changed Jake and why he was helping her, a neko-hanyou.

When she walked into her home she walked straight to the basement where she knew Alex and his band were playing. When she walked in they were in the middle of a set so she sat down and thought about what happened at the beach.

After the set the band took a break and Alex came over, "Hey Cam what's up?"

Cammie told him what happened and asked him what he thought she should do.

"well I think you should trust him for now but be careful." Alex said thoughtfully.

Cammie nodded "well I'll let you get back to practice, K? rock out Alex." She got up and gave him a hug.

Alex gave her a kiss on the temple once again and watched as she walked threw the door, 'please let this not be a sick joke' he thought before walking over to his microphone and bass.

LATER THAT NIGHT

'I wonder what's going to happen to me tomorrow. I hope he isn't playing a joke on me like he usually does. But I guess I'll just have to trust him for now.' Cammie got into bed after yelling Good night through the intercom (yes the house has intercoms.) As she continued to think about tomorrow and what would happen she drifted to sleep.
