There was absolutely no freaking way. No freaking way that Blake had a soul. That just didn't happen. There wasn't a chance that she could somehow regain a soul because of her humanity, because of one small spell I may have done right or wrong. There was just no way that Blake could be on the good side. This whole time she had been against me, trying to either get me out here to do this, or kill me. It was like that from the beginning.

I tried to think of all the reasons why she couldn't have a soul, but all I could see was why she could have a soul. She may have been like that from the beginning. She could have been hard, cold and emotionless because she had no humanity in her that held her to the good side. As I thought back to the moments after that spell, I saw how forced Blake looked. How she seemed to be going the extra mile to irritate me. How she had to make sure that I was in love with her. She had to make sure her plan wasn't spoiled.

But only vampires could attain souls. They are the only beings with enough human blood in them to sustain something that powerful. Without some kind of vampire in you, there was no way you could house a soul. It would tear you up in the end if you tried. Trust me, I've used it. That's why vampires hate souls. They are the only things that can get it, so it's like their only weakness besides stakes and crosses. The only reason I could get a soul and live was because my mother's a vampire.

With all of that, I crossed out the possibility for Blake to have a soul. She wasn't a vampire-

But she was bitten by one.

When a vampire bites you, as you know, they pierce the skin, leaving not only traces of their DNA, but of their blood. It enters the system and travels to the heart. If the vampire drinking from the human doesn't kill it, the blood will travel through the system and stop the human's heart. If the vampire takes enough human blood, the vampire blood will mix with the human's and thus, you have a new vampire. That I'm sure you know. What you probably don't know is that the same can be done with nonhumans-demons. The transfer of that blood would kill anything that wasn't human or a vampire. I now understand that 'human' can be broken into two categories.

A human is a being with no magical or supernatural backgrounds. The person is totally normal with no demon, or witch blood in them. Another term for a human is a creature with a soul. So the only things that can have a soul are something that's part human, or vampire. To have a soul would make you part human.

Now this is where it gets tricky. Blake was a demon. She was a demon when she first saw me and pretended to be an innocent human. I fell in love with that girl as she planned so she could lure me into her trap. She was good at her job because she could fake emotion without having it, because you would need a soul to have emotion (hence all emotion my family makes is fake). So when I did that spell and she smelled like a human, I actually gave her a bit of my humanity. Now I know you're going to ask how I could do that since she wasn't a vampire and she was already a demon then, but remember when I drank from her? I passed some of my DNA to her.

So when I did that spell, I gave her her first soul. I had ruined her plan once that hit, but she couldn't give up. If she knew my father even a bit, she knew how much he hated humans. Even if she ran, he would track her down and kill her, then send someone to finish me. So she kept her charade for a while, having to try harder to make her not love me, to scare me, to force me into doing this. So when I was kidnapped onto that plane and saw Blake dead from a vampire bite, I knew she was really gone because with that much darkness in something, it would destroy it. I don't know why I didn't think of it as soon as I saw her alive, but I knew it now.

I'm pretty sure some of you who read this might know what I'm getting at. The other people who don't, I'll try to summarize it.

Since Blake was bitten by a vampire after I gave her part of my humanity from that spell, the Hell Demon and the vampire crossed each other out. It should have killed her, but since I did that spell that gave her some humanity, she gained a true soul. That's why she wasn't dead/ who knew that when I really meant to save her from the water, I was really saving her from a death I had no idea about.

So for the conclusion, Blake has a soul. She's still a Hell Demon, trying to fight the soul, but in a way she embraced it like I did.

I broke my eyes from Blake's my head pounding from all that thinking. I realized that only a few seconds had passed. I looked back at the map, still trying to process this. I didn't understand how any of that made sense to any of you guys, but really all you need to know is that Blake has a soul and she might be one of the good guys. Well if I can persuade her to be one. Right now she seemed dead set on keeping with this plan for some reason.

My mind flung me back into thought on that last sentence. Why did she not want my soul to be taken away? She seemed like that's what she wanted when we got here. Was that all part of her charade? And now that it happened, she's worried about something? She's worried that I wouldn't go through with it, or that I would go through with it?

What was her problem? And why wouldn't she admit to me that she had a soul? Was she afraid that now that I didn't have one, that I would spill the beans and get her killed because I used to be that cruel? Am I cruel now? I feel the urge to kill, to torture, but I don't feel the need to anymore. What was my problem?

I looked at the map, getting a sick feeling in my gut. I was the reason this was going to be carried out. I was the reason that countless people were going to die. My eyes glanced at Blake, who was staring intently at me, her brows furrowed, lost in thought. Right now I didn't know what exactly was going on, how all of this had happened in a few short months, but all I knew is that Blake had a soul, she was hiding it, she didn't like that I didn't have a soul, and she was the one who put this plan back into action. I should be happy, but I felt gross. I felt terrible.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Hey, if you didn't understand what I was talking about in this chapter, feel free to message me and I'll try to explain it as best as I can, but I will answer things in the next few chapters hopefully. Trust me, I'm just as confused as you are at this point. So if I made a mistake in explaining something, sorry and just talk to me and I'll let you know what I can. Sorry it's so short by the way, but there's so much information in this one, I thought I'd let you think about it before I write more. I tried to do the best I could.
