Sorry for any spelling errors. I'm trying =p

Back to Needy!

It had been days since I got here, and we were not even half way to the palace.

Hell, really wasn't as bad as I thought. I mean...there were those few demons that were the kind to take an innocent, but other than that they were pretty much normal. Or as normal as a demon can be. Their food was even good.

I asked what it was when Jack and I stopped to eat, he told me not to bother thinking about it and it was better to just eat it. That made me a little nervous, because it could be a person.

Some of Jack's friends passed by and chatted with him. They were actually nice.

"You humans...always so quick to judge. And don't you say never judge a book by its cover?" He smirked, the marks curling.

"Well yeah but..."

"But it's not the same because somehow those rules only apply to normal people right?"

"Kinda." I actually felt bad saying that.

He eyed me curiously, his yellow eyes wandering my masked face. "...Maybe we're normal and you guys are the freaks."

"...Huh?"

"Demons can be better people, and never forget...we were once humans ourselves, unless we were born from a demon." He scratched at the bloody slit on his throat. He did that a lot, I got over the gag reflex after the first few times.

I looked at the red earth under my feet, causing me to walk with my head down. I certainly had never thought like that.

"Hey, don't feel bad. Usually people would never think such a thing unless they had an experience that forced them to, like you and this situation." I looked up to see jack chewing on his black fingernails.

"Does the cut hurt?" I could think of nothing else to ask or talk about other than demon habits.

He looked at me curiously, his fingers instinctively going to his throat. "No. It just itches sometimes."

"I see...so...how did you become a demon anyway?"

"I was born this way. I've done nothing wrong, ever if that's what you're wondering."

"How many get brought here to become demons?"

"Mm...it's about half and half. Half born here half brought in. The big guy looks for specific things in a human who will become a demon."

My brow furrowed. "Like?"

"Well, most humans hesitate to make an action or choice. And demon cannot have that kind of choice, we don't usually have time."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Please, psycho's don't hesitate."

Jack chuckled. "They also have to have a balanced mind. To your eyes you'd never see the split secod of doubt. But to us it's several minutes. All demons move faster than humans, so you all appear very slow to us."

I hummed, thoughtful as usual. "When I get back...will I be the same?"

"No. You'll remember everything and with all the time you're spending here...you may end up having some of our qualities."

I jerked and stared at him. "What?"

He shushed me. The streets weren't busy, and the only thing this city didn't have was cars, so it wasn't like we were surrounded...but demons had great hearing. "I don't mean looks Needy. I mean our hearing or our speed. Calm down."

I did calm down. I sighed and tucked my hands into my pockets. "I don't get it." To be honest I didn't want to. I didn't want to understand any of this...I wanted to stay stupid like all of the others and pretend this kind of thing did not exist.

Jack hummed and I looked at him again. There was knowing in his eyes. "Yes you do. You're just scared because you understand it all, maybe a little to well." God, this guy could read me like a book and we just met a few days ago.

"Needy, there have always been worlds hidden from humans. Simply because humans would not understand. Humans are frail and delicate, even if they knew they would pretend none of it was real. Because that's how humans are. Blissfully ignorant from the truth."

"Well I wish I was blissfully ignorant like the others then."

Jack shook his head. "It should actually be a comfort to you toknow that these things exist and they aren't that bad." He grinned. "Plus you'll have a great story to tell to your kids someday."

I scoffed lightly. Children...somehow it made m think of Jennifer again. Did she even want kids? I did someday. When I got back I'd have to ask her what she thought. I really couldn't wait to get back to Earth.

The only comfort I had for going back was Jennifer, my mother, my brother, and Gene. There was nothing else for me there but them.

Jennifer...she couldn't be without me for a few days before collapsing into herself.

We had to hurry.

I jabbed Jack, he was not expecting it so he jumped and gave a small yelp. "Race ya."

"To where?"

"To where I can't run anymore. Straight ahead." I pointed to the palace. We had to cover ground faster, just walking wouldn't cut it.

"You're on." Jack smirked and scratched at his slit throat.

"No using demon speed or whatever." I snipped. He pouted, making the scars along his cheeks appear very long and awkward.

"Fine. On your mark..."

"Get set..." We grinned at eachother.

"Go!" We took off.

I was pretty fast, I thought proudly.

Jennifer.
