Camila was going through her closet when she heard a knock on the door. She went to the door and opened it. On the other side was her older twin brother, Carmelo.
"Carmelo, good to see you. How's your wife doing."
"Good, we're going on our honeymoon in a few weeks." He said, "I wanted to come over and see how you were doing. You never answered the phone last night and you know I don't trust this part of town."
"It's not that bad." Camila said.
"There were three murder's and a stabbing in the last two weeks." He noticed her apartment in disorder, "Have you been... redecorating?"
"Actually, I have a date on Friday. I'm looking for a good outfit."
"A date? It's about time you found someone."
Camila lightly shoved him, which made him laugh.
"Why are you always on my case about this? You've only been married for a month." Camila said.
"Because I want you to find someone that makes you happy, like how Melissa makes me happy. So, who's the lucky guy... or girl, I don't judge."
Camila rolled her eyes.
"His name is Alexander."
"Is that all I'm going to get?"
"Yes."
He chuckled and hugged her. They might get on each other's nerves but they always enjoyed each other's company. In the Demon Realm, Emperor Belos was in his room at his private desk, working. Not on Emperor stuff, but on his date. There were several details to iron out with only two days to do so. He knew that Camila would need a disguise, if people found out a human was in the Isles, then she might be in danger. He also would need to avoid detection; he rarely makes public appearances and when he does, it's usually means someone will probably die. He crumpled the paper up and tossed it to the side.
'You seem stressed'
"Sometimes I forget that I don't need to be near your heart in order to hear you." Belos said.
'Maybe that's because yesterday was the first time you left the castle in over a year.'
"I consider that a good thing, I spent so much time living on the street. I prefer to stay inside." He put his head in his hands, "How am I going to do this?"
'You're the Emperor. You have money. You have power. Think about it for a second.'
That's when he realized what the Titan was telling him. This would help with one problem, now to focus on the next one. How to prevent anyone from finding out she's human. Maybe a powerful Illusion spell in order to give her pointed ears? This is going to be a difficult. Camila parked her 1988 Honda Civic in her parents' driveway. She needed help, this'll be the first time she's been on a date since she was 17. That was five years ago. She exited her car and went to the door and knocked. Her mom opened the door and smiled.
"Hi, honey." her mom said.
Camila hugged her mom and went inside. She smiled and chuckled.
"This place hasn't changed in over twenty years." Camila said.
"Well, you know your father, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. He's been saying that since we got this house in 1970. Of course, he won't even speak when I bring up the sink."
"Ah, yes. The infamous kitchen sink. Hasn't that been broken since 1970?"
"As far as I know." Her mom said, "So, why are you here? Not that I'm not happy to see you or anything, but I can tell this is more than a social visit."
"Well, you know how you said that 1997 would be my year? Well, I have a date."
"Oh, my baby girl is growing up so fast. What's their name?"
"Alexander."
"Oh, sounds smart. What do you need?"
"I haven't had a date in five years. I don't know what to do."
"Don't worry, Mija. I'll help."
