Chapter 2
Melody's P.O.V.
I was walking through the local park from school. It was a pretty nice day and it was kind of quiet, so I was able to think clearly. I've been here for nearly six weeks and have no idea why I'm even here at all. I mean I know I had to be here; I obviously didn't come for the schoolwork. But I have no idea why or what brought me here.
But I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. Being in this school and in this town lets be able to suppress my memories that I'd wish I could forget. Ever since that day, I've been wandering with world alone. I hate being alone. Snap! A sound of a branch snapping caught my attention. I turned around to see nothing. "Who's there?" I shouted. When no one replied I just continued walking. I continued the stony path until I smelt something really strange. Leather and fermenting blood. Wait, I know that scent! Why the in the name of hell is Logan stalking me!
Logan's P.O.V.
I don't think she noticed us. Hector and I were hiding behind the bushes, following Melody. We almost got caught when Hector accidently stepped on a twig, but luckily we were able to hide in time. We've been following her for almost an hour and for the most part she seemed human. But demons are known for deception and this innocent act could all be just a façade.
"Did she see us?" Hector asked me.
"No, but I'm going to check where she went to", I told him looking out of the bush. I saw that she wasn't anywhere around. Where the hell is that bitch, I thought to myself.
"What the hell are you two doing", said an annoyed voice behind us. We turned to see a very mad Melody. I saw that her green eyes turned into a demonic color. Yep definitely a demon. After a few minutes she spoke up again, rather loudly if I might add, "answer me!"
I stood up from my crouched position and looked down at her menacingly. "We just wanted to ask you a few questions."
"Like what", she said crossing her arms.
"Well for one thing, why would a demon like you lower yourself by going to a shit-hole of a high school?" I told her with a sarcastic smile on my face. She was pretty shocked and confused from what I asked her.
"How did you-"
"Know", I finished my smile faltering, "because I'm a demon too. Well half-demon but that's beside the point".
"Then what is the point", she asked growing even more confused.
Why is she acting so clueless? We know what she is. Drop the act already you stupid cunt, I thought bitterly. I clenched my fists as I tried to control my anger. "The point is, that why are you here. Did Miranda send you to kill me or something", I asked her, my voice trembling with rage.
"Miran-NO! I don't even know who that is", she yelled at me "I've never seen you before I came to school!"
"Listen you bitch", I started losing my patience "you stop this "good girl act" or I'm going to rip your heart out and pull you limb from-"
"Okay that's enough you two!" Hector interrupted me creating a barrier between us. All of the years I've known Hector he's never raised his voiced like that at anyone. Once he calmed down he took a deep breath and turned to Melody. "Okay, Logan here is a demon-human hybrid. He's able to detect the presence of other demons. But we've notice, or really I've noticed that you act more human than demon. All we want to know if you really are good and not just tricking us". There was a long moment of silence before she answered his question.
"I'm not trying to trick anybody", she told us, her expression changing into a sadder one, "I'm just trying to get my mind off of some things and figure out what exactly lead me here and maybe have a normal life". This time I knew she was telling the truth, because her eyes held so much pain and despair. She must have gone through something brutal. I guess she isn't dangerous. But I have to make sure. I walked past Hector and up to Melody.
"Listen Melody", I said in softer tone "sorry if I judged you the wrong way. It's just I've encountered a lot of demons and they all pretty much wanted to kill me. So it's kind of weird meeting a nice demon you know."
"Yeah I guess you're right", she replied.
"How about you come by apartment and you can explain yourself."
"Explain myself?" she said in a confused tone. I rubbed my tumbles out of annoyance and sighed.
"You know, tell us why you're here and give us some information about you. And to make sure that it's not some type of trick, Hector would be there too", I told her gesturing to my friend.
"O-okay", she stuttered.
"Alright, come by my place around 6:30ish". With that said Hector and I left Melody and made our way to my apartment wondering what she's going to tell us.
Melody's P.O.V.
I watched the two boys walked down the street until they were completely out of my site. Well, that probably could've gone better I thought to myself. At least I have some time to figure out what I'm going to tell them and to prove to that ass Logan that I don't want any trouble. I've been through hell for years and I don't want to talk about it. I just want to live like a normal human, even for a little while. Is that too much to ask?
