Author's Note:

King Akvar: M.'s an awful, evil, double-crossing person. Wish I never started writing with her. Read this and you'll see what I mean.

Zimagesto: I am not! And it was a joke! Can't you understand one? *muttering to self*: Idiot!

King Akvar: Since you're writing this, I can obviously see it, so will you please keep your nasty comments to yourself???

Chapter 3

M. was in her religion class. Yay. Well, at least she could relax in the class.

The teacher was o.k., he wasn't exactly a priest, but she knew he had been in the seminar. Somebody came up with a smart question and she listened carefully.

"If Adam and Eve were the first people and they only had two sons, Cain and Abel, and Cain killed Abel, then how did people on Earth get to be so many?!"

M. chuckled to herself as a few scenes came to her mind.

'God, I'm so glad these guys can't read minds! They'd think I'm some kind of a pervert. Am I? Am NOT!'

The teacher was explaining something about primates and she nearly fell off her seat with laughter. Gods, this was even better than that time when a foreigner started talking about the eyes on her head!!! -which, by the way, was a compliment-

The bell rang and she got up. They said the prayer and she got out. The Professor was right behind her, but he got stopped by a few other students.

She walked down the stairs, starting to wonder about where that bloody demon Akvar was! If he blasted something, she'd definitely make sure he went to heaven. And she knew he thought it was boring enough to make it worth it to go to hell.

Suddenly she bumped into somebody.

"Watch where you're going, you idiotic child!" said a voice in Romanian. Since they were in Romania, it was normal to be that way, but something about the tone made her look up to the speaker, opening her mouth to reply nastily. But that was approximately as far as she went.

A pair of grey eyes were watching her from up. The person's hair was also grey, but he didn't seem too old. In fact, he seemed to be around his forties. M. suddenly recovered from the shock and said:

"Akvar!" Then she quickly added: "You can sound so Snape-ish sometimes, did you know?"

"Yes, I did." He said and smirked. "Listen, I've got some news for you."

He suddenly stopped. The devious grin on her face was not a good sign and something told him that she had an idea. An idea involving him. This could not be good.

"Akvar, Akvar" she said, not appearing to notice his last sentence, "I'd like you to meet someone."

Definitely not good.

"Who?"

"You'll see."

She grabbed her hand and dragged him up the stairs, where her religion teacher had just finished talking to his students.

"Professor!" she cried and he looked at her. "I'd like you to meet, um., Aki. Aki, this is my religion teacher, Romeo. He finished the theological seminar."

Romeo watched curiously the scene and noticed that the man whom he was just shaking hands with was slightly pale.

M. grinned. No, the demon didn't feel too comfortable.

"Professor", she said innocently, "can you exorcise demons?"

That was IT! Akvar pulled himself back and glared murderously at M.

"I can't, why?"

"But do you know anybody who can?"

"Yes, father Cucu, I think, can. Why?"

"I need some help with somebody."

"Blasted girl, is this how you repay friendship?" asked Akvar between his clenched teeth. "I thought we were in this together!"

"We were in this together, Akvar" she answered and smiled deviously.

"Curse you, how dare you even think about this? I'll kill you, trust me on this, if you so much as get a fucking priest near me, got it? I have no intention whatsoever of ending up who knows where with an idiot in a dress! Demon hearted, evil, blasted girl, I can't believe you are doing this!"

"Now, now, it's a sin to swear and threat." started the teacher.

"No SHIT!" Akvar replied. "But I'm not an idiotic saint, so I can break these things you call Laws!"

"That's a bad attitude!" he said. "If you want to go to heaven, you."

"I don't want to go to heaven, it must be a boring place. I'd rather go to hell, thank you."

"Now, why say that?" the teacher started, probably feeling particularly suicidal that day.

"M., if I get into some kind of theological-spiritual-etcetera conversation, you will not see the next sunrise. I swear."

"What, are you going to give me sleeping pills or something? Please do, I have problems sleeping."

"So you are the thickest person in this whole goddamned school!"

"Yes, probably."

"Now, now, why threat yourselves?" the teacher said, feeling cheery and suicidal that day. "It's not good, it's a sin and."

"If you want to die, please continue." Akvar said and glared at him.

M. decided it was enough for the Professor. And for her. So she dragged Akvar away, saying something about the bell ringing.

"So, what's new? I think you said you had some news, right?"

"How did you hear that?" he sincerely wondered. "You were too trapped with making my life a living hell, weren't you?"

"We women can do more things at the same time. Now, before you kill me for this joke..."

"Joke?! Joke? You call this a joke?"

"Well, yeah."

"You consider it funny?"

"Actually, yeah."

He glared at her and, just as she was about to ask him about the news again, she heard a voice from behind.

"Well, well, Mrs. M., what are you doing out of class after the bell rang?"

M. didn't have to turn to figure out who it was. She already knew it. It was her Math Professor, who would have been a funny guy if it wouldn't have been her in the particular situation of getting out of her bench after it rang. Out of class, now that she thought about it. He had a rough humor, but she had gotten used to it over the past year. Unfortunately, if Akvar would have let her go, she would have lost precious news and would have had a 'punishment' in front of the class. He used to pull students' hair if they went wrong. Brute force. How annoying.

"She's talking to me" answered Akvar as she turned to face the Professor. "And I do believe that she is particularly good at math, so she can be a little late, can't she?"

"Well, I insist that my students have the same treatment. And she's coming in."

"No, she isn't"

"Ooh, yes she is! And I don't know who you are, but I can tell you."

"Tell me what?" Akvar asked and, for the first time in her life, M. saw her Professor shiver. Not good.

She turned and saw something she definitely hadn't expected. His pearly white teeth were showing and, the way he looked, even she shivered. He seemed paler then before and his eyes were shining dangerously.

"She's staying" Akvar said.

"Fine, take your time" the Professor replied and entered the classroom.

"He's a powerful man. Usually, people faint when I do that."

"You're a VAMPIRE!" she said and stared at him.

"Yeah, I."

"A bloody VAMPIRE!"

"Not very bloody, but."

"And I thought you were a DEMON!"

"I-am-a-demon-now-shut-up!" he cried. "Not that kind of a demon, though. I was born as a human, it is because of the evil bastard that I am that I'm called a demon. The type of a demon I'm talking about is different. In an old language, from before Earth, Daim meant Middle. And Daimen meant Middler, one that has no side, nor good, nor evil. Selfish bastards who would sell anything for something better, that's a demon in this concept. So I'm a Middler."

"Aha" she answered. "And a vampire."

"More or less. At a very unfortunate moment of my past, I was bitten by a bloody vampire. A Daylight one. He wanted to make me one of them, but I didn't want to accept such a thing. If I wanted to reach ultimate power, I couldn't be a vampire, those creatures had to feed, had their week points. So I fought against the thing with everything I could. Luckily, I knew a lot of things and a lot of magic even then and I knew that eventually, if I survived, I would be immortal like a vampire, without having to feed, but having the nice teeth, in case I needed them. But it needed a lot of power. An awful lot of power. And if I succeeded right, then drinking blood, although not necessary, would help me. So I fought against it. But do you know why not everybody does this?"

"I've no idea" she answered. She didn't even know it could be done.

"Because, for one, you needed tones of power. And second, because it drains you when you do it, making you easy to kill even by a bunny rabbit, if you get the point. So, for one month I was between death and life, lying in a cave. But when I succeeded, although quite drained of energy, I had loads of power and immortality."

"Wow!" she said.

"Now, more news, and less personal facts" he said. "I got into the headquarters of the Red Dragons Order."

"Yeees." she said, noticing he stopped.

"It's badly warded."

"No way!" she said and burst into laughter. "Harry Potter's taking care of it and, I can assure you, the man knows what he's doing."

"It's badly warded against me, I meant" he said and winked. "I can get there as quickly as you say one-two-three."

"One-two-three"

"Ha, ha, I'm dying of laughter."

"Never mind. How can you do it?"

"With a certain power we demons usually use for quick escapes. We can disintegrate our body and move it into the astral plan and then create it again. And while in the astral plan, we can go anywhere at any speed and hardly can anybody see us. Only the ones who see auras and such things can see us. We are very good a this, and since I am one of the most powerful demons you will find around, I can do it well."

"You're one of the most powerful demons?"

"Yes. But I don't want to go into history right now. So, I can get in and out of there easily. The problem is that Apparating is a lot like creating your body, so I can't do that part easily, since he's put a lot of wards everywhere, but I can use other ways of getting in. Or making my body. I was thinking about possessing an object."

She burst into laughter.

"What?!"

"I imagined you as a table. Or a chair. That would help a lot, wouldn't it?!"

"Ha, ha. I can posses an object and then change it so that I get my body from it. Kind of a like an Animagus does. Wandless magic, as usual. And I think I have a plan."

"O.k. So, what plan do you have?" she asked curiously.

Instead of answering right away, he leaned against her and half-closed his eyes.

"You'll see!" he whispered in her ear and she shivered.

Then, she turned her back on him, deciding to go to class and nearly opened the door, but then changed her mind.

"When will you be coming back?" she asked, turning back to him, but he was gone, not a trace of him left. And she hadn't even heard the 'crack' of Apparating.
