He wasn't at school the next day. Or the day after. Or the day after that. Biology was quiet without someone to talk to. The rest of the days went as normal and I began chatting to Kagome, another demon, this time a dog. She was an exchange student too, originally from Japan, and had long black hair and blue eyes. She was a few decades older than me but we struck a fast friendship.

The next Monday I went into bio expecting Edward to be gone again but this time, I was surprised. He was sitting on the bench looking at me with curious eyes. I glared at him slightly before walking over and sitting on the bench.

'Hi.' He greeted me and I was surprised again. He was being nice. I had gotten the feeling that last Monday he hadn't liked me but today he was acting as if it hadn't happened.

'Hello.' I greeted stiffly back, making it known to him that forgiveness wasn't going to come easy. He sighed wearily and I immediately pitied him before pulling back my feelings of annoyance.

We remained quiet after that neither saying anything as the teacher told us what to do. We where studying rocks today and I could tell what they where before we even looked at them through the microscope, I could smell the differences in the rocks that made each apart from the other, but I decided to amuse them and looked at the things anyway. Edward seemed to think the same and we got on quite well during that lesson. He was trying hard to gain forgiveness and I thought it was so cute that I just had to give him it. At the end of the lesson I gave him my first true smile and he smiled back at me, relived that he was forgiven.

He was gone again the next day. It was the sunniest it had ever been since I got here and I was a bit confused at why he, and the rest of the family, had skipped. Apparently their dad takes them all for camping trips whenever it's sunny, school or none. I wasn't sure I believed it though.

The day after he was gone as well and, even though I had Kagome, I was starting to feel slightly lonely. It was sad to say the least to be longing for a guy you only began to like a few days ago. But I did, and it was beginning to worry me.

He was back when it was cloudy again. I smiled widely when I saw him sitting at the bench we shared. We began talking immediately and only stopped when the teacher came in.

The lesson itself was rather boring but the company was great. He was a really nice guy to talk to once you got to know him and I began to let myself love him, little by little. I wonder, at that moment, whether he felt the same way.

One lunchtime, Kagome and I where talking quietly about the Cullens, making sure our voices where too quiet for any human to hear. Little did we know then that they could hear every word we said.

'Have you noticed they have no heartbeat?' I asked her, nodding towards the family as we sat eating our lunch. She looked over at them with her contact blue eyes. Like mine they where actually a nice golden colour.

'Yes. Its weird right?' she replied, taking a bite of the ham sandwich in her hands. I nodded thoughtfully. 'And a lack of the smell of blood; it's probably why their so white.'

I looked at her in surprise as I hadn't thought of that. 'What are they vampires or something?' I asked and she looked thoughtful, obviously considering the possibility.

The Cullens had gone quiet and where looking at us with strange expressions on their faces. This alone made me believe what I had said more than I had before, but Kagome hadn't noticed there stares and had continued talking.

'It's possible. We're demons after all.'

I froze as the looks on the faces of the possible vampires turned to slight horror. Kagome looked around at my obvious discomfort and froze also. We where screwed. God Charlie was going to kill me tonight. It was the perfect time, we where going to spar. He could say it was and accident or he had misjudged my skill or something.

Edward's eyes narrowed as these thought flew loudly through my head. Getting up, he walked over to me, a serious expression etched into his handsome face. I got up to, wishing to leave Kagome out of this.

'A walk?' he asked with a slight glance at Kagome and caution in his voice. I nodded and followed him out of the door leaving Kagome to watch us leave, a worried expression gracing her soft features.

He walked into the woods, deep into the woods, before turning to look at me intently. I gave him the same look. Neither of us spoke for a good few minutes before his expression turned confused and he gave in.

'What is a demon?'

It was such a simple question I just had to laugh. His confusion deepened and I was sent into another fit of laughter. He waited patently for me to finish with a confused but amused smile on his face. Once I had gained control of myself I apologized and began to explain.

'Demons are creatures that originated from Japan thousands of years ago and have recently spread around the world. There are many…species I suppose of demon. For example I am a cat demon and Kagome is a dog demon. There are others like snakes and wolves but we have all learned to hide ourselves from normal humans. Usually, the most demons have to hide are markings and eyes colour but I'm different. For some reason or another I have ears and a tail that would belong to a cat; allot like demons from centuries old who didn't have to hide themselves from civilisation.'

I stopped there to let him take all of it in. I expected questions and I got them, but that was alright, it would be my turn next!

'You have cat ears?' he asked, puzzlement and shock clear on his face. I sighed. It seemed I would have to show him. I reached up and pulled off my wig showing two pointed brown cats ears as my real hair fell in waves down my back. I unfurled my tail that I had been using as a belt and pulled of the fake ears dropping them and the wig onto the ground.

I looked at his stunned expression and continued; putting my fingers to my eyes before taking the contacts out to reveal my golden, cat slit eyes. I grabbed a hankie and let the tears from my eyes run into the before placing it in the foundation to soften it and rubbing the gloopy substance off, revealing the moon on my forehead.

Looking up I waited for his reaction. He stared at me and I stared back, starting to glare at his lack of reaction. My eyes widened a tad as he smiled cheekily.

'So what else can you do?' he asked cheekily. I had read up on vampires some when I was little and new exactly what his capabilities where. I grinned back at him, rising to the challenge in his voice.

'Want to race?' I asked him and his grin widened.

'Ready?' he started.

'Set?' I continued playfully, each of us getting into starting positions.

'Go!' we both shouted as we set off each as fast as each other, me going through the trees and Edward on the ground. When we finally stopped it was nearly dark.

'So how old are you anyway?' I asked him as we sat next to one of the trees.

'17.' He answered.

'No, really?' I asked again. I could tell he was playing with me and I smiled slightly at it.

'117.' He replied again, truthfully this time.

'Hu.' I said lightly, thoughts running through my head.

'What are you thinking?' he asked me curiously, taking a peace of hair in his hand and watched me in the fading light.

'I'm older than you.' I told him in the same disconnected tone. He cocked his head to look at me, amusement in his voice.

'How old are you then?

'217.'

He raised his eyebrows in what can only be called impressed surprise. I laughed slightly at him before getting up.

'You're really intriguing, you know?' he said as he stood next to me.

'How come?' I asked, cocking my head slightly to look at him.

'I can't read your mind.' He stated and I narrowed my eyes in confusion. 'Well I can usually read peoples minds; it's one of the skills of being a vampire. But I've only read yours once and that was when you where screaming in your head back in the cafeteria.' He explained and I nodded.

'I always was an oddball.' I joked causing him to laugh. 'Come on. We need to get back; I have a sparing session with Charlie. Want to come and watch?' I asked him. He nodded and we set off back, making out way back too my house too meet with Charlie.

Fun.
