My speech went well I though. It was all on the study of group fears and how they can influence a persons beliefs if something is really happening or not. I got an A and I thought that I deserved it with all the work I put in on it.

It was close to lunch time when I got home but today I didn't feel like training or running. Today I just wanted to do something different.

Ok I think I'm possessed.

Chris was right, nobody was here and the house was unusually quiet.

I tossed my bag back into my room and headed straight up to the attic.

Maybe there was something in the book of Shadows about dreams being some sort of S.O.S or something.

I opened the door but stopped dead in my tracks. There standing a few feet from the book was a man/demon. Wearing tattered black robes, bleach white spicked hair and pitch black eyes.

He was smirking as I got back control of my body. An axe appeared in a puff of smoke in his hand as he took a few steps towards me.

I conjured a sword in my right hand and gripped it with both hands as I blocked his swinging axe. He kept attacking me with it and his blows were hard. He finally knocked the sword out of my hand as I fell to the floor, hastily standing up. His axe was gone and in it's place was a fire ball. I looked him dead in the eye as he smirked one more time, but I swung my foot around, hitting his head as he tumbled to the ground.

"So we're going to play it this way are we?" He growled getting up and landing a kick to my stomach, causing me to fly back into the wall and I crumpled to the floor, my head hitting the marble table that was propped against it.

I staggered back up to me feet ignoring the blood that was now trickling down my neck.

"You're going to die now witch." He said making a dagger appear in smoke in his hand.

He lunged at me, but I dogged him easily.

"You're wrong. I'm not a witch." I said landing a kick to the side of his face and he landed on the floor, the dagger fell out of his hands and I picked it up. "I'm also half demon." I said stabbing him in the chest and backing away as his body erupted into flames.

I sank into the middle of the floor with more blood coming from my head.

I did it.

I killed my first demon.

"Faith?" I looked up through fogged eyes to see who was calling my name.

Chris was standing in the door way rushing to my side.

"What the hell happened?"

"Demon was trying to take the Book of Shadows."

"Explain about that later right now we need to heal you." He said placing his hand on the back of my head.

I closed my eyes as I felt all the blood rush back into my body and the gash close up, good as new.

"Did the demon get away?"

"No I killed it with this dagger that it conjured." I said handing him the dagger that the demon had dropped.

"Do you think you could find him in the book?" He asked as we stood to our feet and walked over to the book.

"Yeah. Shouldn't be too hard." I said opening the book.

Big mistake. My eyes were watery from scanning every page for at least two hours as I stood there and Chris paced not trusting me to stay alone with it.

"I found it!" I said pointing to the page.

"Cotez demon. Lower level. Can conjure weapons easily and shimmer. Cotez are not very powerful, easily vanquished with a potion see next page or a mortal wound. Even though they are of not much power they serve for something stronger than themselves. Normally for a demon with as much power as the source or the one with no name.

"That's it?" I asked.

"well if you vanquished it there should be nothing to worry about."

"Wrong pretty boy. It says that they normally work for something of much more power. Could be the item."

"The what?"

"The demon with no name. I call it the item."

"The one that killed your dad and was after you two years ago?"

"Yes. And Leo thinks that it's coming back for another shot."

"No one's ever vanquished it Faith. How do you think that you can?"

"I don't. That's why I train so much and work hard. I don't want to wuss out and die like my father."

"Some of my inside intelligence say that this thing is stronger than the source himself."

"Yeah, but what I don't get is why it's after me."

"Maybe because you're the offspring of a demon and a witch."

"Don't say offspring. Makes it sound like I was born from the spawn of saten."

"Yeah well you are part demon."

"Shut it pretty boy."

"Why do you call me that?"

"I don't know."

"There has to be a reason."

"There isn't."

"I think that little Faith has a crush on me."

"Shut it Chris." I said and I could feel my cheeks starting to burn red.

"No."

"I swear Chris that you'd better shut your mouth."

"Make me Faith." He said placing his hands on his hips and looking me dead in the eye.

And I did just that as soon as he opened his mouth to talk again I grabbed the back of his head with one hand and pulled his lips down to mine, kissing him hard. I pulled away as he let his head remain close to mine as he gazed into my eyes and placed his hands on my hips and jerked me forward, kissing me hard and long. I eagerly kissed him back as my hands rested on his shoulders. I felt like my insides were on fire as we were together. It wasn't until his tongue rolled across my bottom lip that I jerked my self away from him and turned around.

"Faith what's the matter?"

"We shouldn't have done that." I said touching my lip where his was just there a moment ago.

"Hey I'm not that bad of a kisser."

"It's not that Chris it's just you and me. We just can't. It's just." But I didn't know what to say. I just ran out the door and into my bedroom where I grabbed my dress and shimmered into the office at P3.

I kissed him.

He kissed me.

OMG I thought that I was going to see fireworks there for a minute.

I wanted to hate it. I needed so badly to hate what just happened. We couldn't do that. Not only was it against the rules but it was us. We had hated each other since he had come from the future and that wasn't supposed to change. It couldn't.

Why can't I admit to myself that I hate him.
