I am so sorry! Don't kill me! I know I haven't updated in a long time, and I am sorry! I've been busy, but here is the next chapter! :) And another huge thank you because there is 108 reviews now! I never expected the reception for this story to be so good! I know I haven't been able to reply to all of your reviews through PM because I have been busy so here is a huge thank you from me right now and a cookie!
I know I said Ethan may appear in this chapter, but he doesn't. But don't worry he will soon and that will cause all sorts of trouble. Anyway, I'll shut up now so you can read the next installment.
Previously:
"I said no Ethan. Don't come round, don't call, just leave me alone." I shouted, and hung up.
I sighed, feeling guilty.
"Good girl." Valafar said from behind me.
Immediately the guilt in my stomach turned into anger.
Chapter Ten.
Good girl. Good girl? I'm not a freaking dog. How dare he! I felt my anger rise, slowly reaching my throat, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back.
It's bad enough he threatens me with killing Ethan to do what he says, he doesn't need to rub it in my face by calling me a good girl when I do! What was he doing, trying to train me? I wasn't a good girl anyway, never have been, every teacher hates me. You can pretty much count on me to misbehave. I don't mean it. I just get pissed off easily. And right now, he was pissing me off.
"Did you just call me a good girl?" I asked through bared teeth.
The only reason I was doing what he was saying was because he was threatening me with death!
"How dare you!" I shouted before he even had a chance to answer. "I just had to tell a friend to never speak to me again, because you see him as bloody competition, then you call me a good girl? Why don't you give me a bone too? You're an ass hole!"
Suddenly his hand was around my throat, and I was pinned against the wall again. Instead of feeling scared and intimidated, I glared at him with all my hate. I was way to angry to cower away like a puppy.
He smiled at me. What? Wasn't he supposed to be annoyed, I was shouting at him. I was hoping to have annoyed him.
"You're hot when you are angry." he said, moving a strand of hair that had fallen in my face.
I didn't think it was possible, but after him saying that I felt even more angry. The most angry I've ever felt. I made an annoyed squealing noise.
"Get off me!" I shouted, trying to pull his hand away from my throat. But he was strong, but of course he was, he's a demon.
He simply just tightened his grip. "No."
"Oh, and what are you going to do? Keep me here all day? Let me go!" I said, trying to push his arm off again.
"Maybe. I like that idea." he smirked.
I glared at him and pushed against his strong chest with all my strength. It wasn't even making him move an inch. But I kept trying, kept pushing, I just wanted this stupid, ass of a demon away from me.
Eventually, my arms began to hurt and I ran out of energy. I sighed dropping my hands to my side again. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. I wasn't going to get anywhere pushing him, or yelling at him, even if he did like it and find it hot. I need a new strategy...
"Vala," I said, looking up at him through my eyelashes. My voice was now soft, and hid all of my anger as best I could. "Please let me go."
He seemed taken back by me, and stared at me for a few moments. I stared right back at his unnatural yellow eyes. He loosened his grip and eventually let go.
Relief washed through me and I immediately began to walk away from him. And I couldn't help myself, I just had to say it.
"Good boy." I smirked as I walked down the stairs, his laugh coming echoing from behind me.
THAT NIGHT.
"Come on, Evelyn. There has to be something you want to be for Halloween!" Rayne said for the millionth time.
I sighed. Halloween was the day after tomorrow and we were going to get our costumes and more decorations in the morning, but I had no idea what I wanted to be. To be completely honest, I couldn't even be bothered with the party this year.
Halloween was usually my favourite time of the year, I looked forward to getting the house ready, dressing up, getting the scares ready. And the party was always a huge hit, for months they would talk about "Evelyn and Rayne's Halloween spectacular" and be excited for the next one. We've done it every year since we were like fourteen.
But... I didn't want any more scary. I'd had enough scary thanks to Vala. I didn't know what he was going to do at the party either, scare the living daylights out of everyone? I mean, the party is supposed to be scary, but not demon scary.
He wasn't going to behave, I can feel it. Demons despise humans, right? There is going to be a lot of them at the party. And not just your regular human, but teenage humans, driven with hormones... Oh god, this was going to end badly.
"I don't know Rayne! What are you going as, a bunny?" I asked, if I changed the subject to her, she probably would stop nagging at me.
"No, I was a bunny last year. This year I'm going as a sexy cat." she smiled proudly.
And so would most of the other teenage girls at the party.
"Shocking." I said sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes at me. "You should go as a cat too, we could go as twin cats. Cause, you know, we're twins..." she muttered as I glared at her.
"I am not going as a cat. If we were going to do the whole twin thing, we should go as Mario and Luigi." I joked.
She did a fake laugh. "Funny, Evelyn. But no, Mario and Luigi are not sexy. Speaking of sexy, is your man candy going to be there?"
Man candy? Oh, that's right, I lied to Rayne about Vala. I told her the voice of a man she heard in my room was a date... I knew that would back fire. But, she wouldn't believe the truth so... Lies it had to be.
"Oh, I'm sure he will." I muttered with annoyance in my voice, I was aiming it at him, I was sure he was in the room listening.
Rayne nudged me as she squealed excitedly, making me paint half my skin green with the nail polish I was using. Green for Halloween.
"Rayne!" I complained, trying to wipe it off. "Jeez, don't get your hopes up though." I added, she wouldn't actually see him. I don't want her to ever see him.
"Already up! Anyway, I'm going to bed, and you are going to think about your costume because we are going to get them tomorrow, so... think!" she said, pointing her finger at me.
"Night Evelyn." she said, giving me a kiss on the cheek then getting up to go out the room.
"Good night!" I shouted after her as she left the room.
I sighed, shaking my head at my sister. I feel bad I can't be as excited as she can. Normally I'm the one extremely excited at this time. What could I go as?... A witch? Nah, I did that like two years ago. I'd had a different costume each year, never the same. Maybe I could go as a demon.
I smirked, amused at that thought. It wouldn't work though, considering he looks human. Though, I know that's not his true form, but I am not willing to see his true form just for a costume.
I shuddered just thinking about what it could look like.
I looked up to the end of my bed, expecting him to be there but he wasn't. I didn't trust this. I thought he would appear as soon as Rayne left the room. I closed the lid on my nail polish and put it on the bedside table.
I scanned the room, he must be here... I can feel him. My stomach twisted nervously, he was going to jump out at me.
"Vala, I know you are here... just appear. Slowly. Scare me and I swear to god..." I warned.
I really don't know what I'd do to demon... but I just know I was not in the mood. I was already really pissed at him and if he jumped out at me and gave me a fright I think I might blow a fuse.
A few moments past and no sign of him. I don't like this... I just want to go to bed, but I know he's going to scare me.
I sighed. "Fine. Don't appear. But I'm going to bed, so don't you dare try anything. If you must, do it at three in the morning since you wake me up at that time every bloody night anyway."
I got up and switched my light off. I turned around, and expected to come face to face with him, but I never. I felt a sweat begin to break out. Where was he and what is he up to?
I edged my way over to my bed and climbed in. I sat up and watched the spot at the end of my bed where he usually stands, expecting him to appear, but he doesn't.
I sighed, turning round, ready to go to sleep, but nearly jumped out of my skin when I see him sitting on the bed beside me.
It took me a few moments to find my voice again, but I found it and immediately started moaning at him.
"Jesus Christ! Must you do that?" I gasped, one hand gripping my hand in fright.
He just sniggered. Oh, of course he found it hilarious.
"You know, one of these days I'm going to have heart attack, and then die. Then you'll feel bad, because it'll be your fault." I snapped.
He laughed. "That's highly unlikely, plus demons don't ever feel bad."
I faked a laugh. "Funny. What are you doing? Get out of my bed!"
He shook his head with a smug look on his face. "No. This is a really comfy bed you know."
I glared at him. Stupid smart ass demons.
"Yes, I know, it's my bed... which I want to sleep in. So would you move your ass so I can? I'd like to get the few hours sleep I can before you wake my up again a thirty three minuets past three in the morning." I snapped.
Oops. I better watch my voice level. I don't want Rayne maybe walking past and hearing us speaking. Or even worse, mum. She'd go mental. Even though we aren't actually doing anything because he is actually a demon sent from hell to annoy the hell out of me, though he does lust over me so if she feels better, she can exorcise him out or something. But she would never believe that story.
"No." he said simply again, also watching me with an amused look.
"Argh! You are really annoying, do you know that?" I said, folding my arms and pouting like an annoyed child.
"Sexual tension, my dear." he stated.
For a moment I was surprised he'd said that, but then I realised of course he would. Anyway, there is no sexual tension. He just really pisses me off.
"In your dreams, demon-boy." I muttered.
"Demons don't dream."
"Oh shut up! Can't you go annoy someone else?" I snapped.
He sniggered, happy to have annoyed me. "If you want me to go terrify your family-"
"Okay on second thought don't." I quickly corrected myself while he laughed.
"If you are here to annoy me, we may as well have this conversation now..." I began.
My stomach twisted nervously again. It was the question about the party. Would he behave himself? Only one way to find out.
He raised his eyebrows at me. "What conversation?"
"Well..." I took a deep breath and began. "You know how Rayne and I are having that Halloween party in a few days? Are you going to behave at it?"
He stared at me, thinking. But a devilish smile made it's way to his face. "Maybe I will... Maybe I won't."
Then he began to become translucent.
"Oh no you don't! Don't you dare disappear on me right now!" I snapped, trying to grab him, but my hands just slipped through his nearly invisible body.
I saw him throw his head back and laugh before he fully disappeared, but his laugh continued to echo through my room, then that faded too.
I groaned, falling back on to my bed frustrated.
I'm just going to take that as a "no".
That's chapter Ten!
I know it's shorter than usual, and sorry again. But I think either the next chapter or the next again will be the Halloween party and trust me, that is going to be very interesting ;)
A couple of people have asked me if I'm going to write a lemon and the answer is I don't think so. I don't feel comfortable with that. If Evelyn was going to go that far, I haven't decided yet, I wouldn't write the whole scene. But I may consider it if the majority want one, so let me know what you think in a review. Even if most of you do want one, I'm not promising I will do it. Also let me know what you think Evelyn will go as for Halloween!
Thanks again guys! :)
