Chapter Four

A/N: This one is a bit short too, but it's a quick update, like I said.

Vivian's P.O.V.

As Damien ran me towards the hospital in his arms, even though I was unconscious, I could feel myself losing a lot of blood. Suddenly he lurched to a stop, and I cried out as he clutched me closer. I heard and felt a low guttural growl coming from the back of his throat and chest. I did my best to open my eyes, and I looked up to my demons face. His eyes had turned from large soft violet ones to tiny slits and started glowing red in a strange, hypnotic way. His dark hair started to grow longer.

"What's wrong?" I asked him. He kept his gaze locked on something in front of us, so I looked to where he was looking and gasped. There before my demon and myself, stood Cammie, Raven, and Mr. Michaelis. Through my hazy thoughts, I managed to think, 'that's a strange trio,' and I said quietly, "Hiya, guys," the blacked out a second time.

Damien's P.O.V.

I stopped running. There before me stood three figures, only one was familiar. Great, I thought, Him again, without breaking my perfect façade. I looked at the two smaller figures and sniffed. Ugh! Half demons! Disgusting creatures!My new contractor looked up at me. She was strong. I could feel her blood pouring out of her as time ticked by. I could feel her pain through our contract seal. The one thing I didn't like about making contracts with humans; feeling everything they feel until they die. But most of all, I could feel her fear. I felt myself start to change.

"What's wrong?" her timid voice asked me. I could hear her fear. She looked towards the strangers, and a soft gasp escaped her lips while I felt a small rush of confusion and realization. She knew them.

"Hiya, guys," her small voice called out, and her body gave up as she lost consciousness.

"What the hell are you doing here Michaelis?" I asked with venom in my tone, and sneered at the younger demon's current name.

"Currently wondering why my favorite student is in your arms," he answered calmly and sincerely, steadying my penetrating gaze with his seemingly indifferent one.

"Feh. What about those filthy half-breeds you're with, huh? You know they aren't worthy of true demonic power, and they should be disposed of," I sneered. "They're a waste of space."

"Haha!" The younger demon laughed, "Hahaha! You nobles and your view on demonic society. Look around you. There is no demonic society. We do what we can to survive. If you don't like it, go back to where you came from, Black Ocelot."

"Go burn in hell, you dumb crow."

"Nobles first."

"Well, if you'll kindly excuse me, I have a contractor that needs taking care of," I said, pushing past Sebastian.

"What?" I heard a small voice ask, horrified. I looked to where it came from, and my gaze brushed over the two half demons. The taller one was pretending to be strong, but was crying, while the shorter one kept looking from my face to Vivian's with horror in her eyes.

"She…. You… have a contract? Why? She's too young to have a full demon contract! She's got too much life left to live!" Her frantic ramblings were starting to piss me off.

"Hush, Cammie," the tall one whispered. "It's not our concern anymore. Vivian made her decision." She turned and started walking away.

"Now, If you will excuse me." I pushed through the annoying girls to get to the hospital. Vivian's breathing was getting more and more shallow.

"I shall accompany you," Sebastian said. Before I could refuse him, I felt another rush of Vivian's pain and I winced.

"Raven, Camille, go take care of Alexandra and Jasmine. Do not tell them what has happened just yet." The crow was instructing the half-breeds.

That's all I heard.

I had started running.
