A new day for new chapters. Enjoy

11

The next morning I awoke to see myself covered in the sheets with Morrigan lying next to me with an arm on my chest and her leg lying on top of mine.

"Morrigan, wake up"

Gosh, she looked beautiful even in her sleep

She gave a light groan and opened her eyes.

"That was actually my first time making love" she said. "I hope there's more to come". She gave me a smile.

I stopped gazing at her and looked at my alarm clock.

Crap! We're late for school!

I followed Morrigan into the classroom twenty minutes after the bell rang. I detected a thousand eyes on me as I sat down beside Morrigan.

"Ha! You got a detention" Cain said to me.

"Yup, I know"

"You know we're about to go on summer break soon right?"

"Ooh yeah, I almost forgot"

We were in the last week of June. I had completely forgotten. Being with Morrigan and fighting demons took my mind off of school.

"So what are-Is that a hickie on your neck?"

I glared at him.

"Shut up"

"Did it come from Morrigan?"

"Don't worry about it" I said.

"Did you even use a condom?" he whispered, laughing.

That made me think for a second.

Where did I leave it after we-nevermind, man I just hope my dad doesn't come up on it.

"Look bro, don't hate"

Moments after the bell rang, time flew that evening. Morrigan and I were now at our lunch table outside the school café.

I sat my lunch on the table and sat beside Morrigan.

"When do you think we should face Demitri?" Morrigan asked.

"Summer break's coming up so I'd say pretty soon" I replied.

"You're so confident, it's kind of cute"

I blushed a bit.

"You really want to face him don't you?" she asked.

"Forsho, but how would we find him?"

"I'm not sure. I know he's somewhere around for his servants to always be on our tracks all the time".

I chuckled at her remark.

"How long have you known Demitri?"

"Hmmm, three-hundred years and counting"

Three hundred years?

"You're thre-You've been around that long?"

"I don't age like your species"

"Well, there's not gonna be anymore 'counting' after I meet him" I said in a serious tone.

"Whatever you say…you're Majesty"

After school, Morrigan and I decided to take a walk through the neighborhood before heading home. It was still a bright afternoon so we decided we'd see if any of Demitri's goons would come entertain us. We walked down a block quietly. Then Morrigan broke the silence.

"Jay, thanks for saving me the other day" she said giving me a warm smile." I didn't think a human guy like you could ever rescue a girl like me"

"Yeah", I said. "I got the idea last night"

She blushed knowing what I meant.

We continued down the street and I looked up as we passed a building. It looked pretty abandoned but still had a few windows in. I just so happened to look into the third floor window to see some strange frog looking creature staring down at us with one eye.

The fuck?

I thought it was a toy that could've been abandoned along with the house. I was proved wrong when its one and only eye blinked at me. My heart skipped a beat and I gulped. I hurried and looked away as we turned down another block.

"C'mon, let's go this way" I implied.

"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.

"Um…I heard some racket" I lied, never would I let Morrigan see me frightened.

"Come on, it's coming from up ahead" Morrigan said speeding up towards the sound of yelling.

Wow, the irony

"Now we're going to ask you one more time…WHERE is Jay Vell?!" we heard as we closed in on the noise. We saw a few feet up ahead two undercover cops with their backs facing us as they interrogated some guy who looked a lot like he went to my school. As I examined the victim who was about my height, looked Mexican and in a Washington high uniform, I realized.

"That's Cain"

I pushed forward but was stopped when Morrigan clenched my chest.

"Wait, those are police officers…looking for you" she said softly.

We exchanged glances. We both came up on the thought that these guys were possessed by Demitri's servants. I looked at my wristbands that I already had armed.

"Cain can't know who I really am" I said to Morrigan cautiously.

"Same here…just follow my lead" she replied.

Get ready…
