Jesse slowly trudged up the stairs. His whole world had been turned upside down. This morning he had just been a normal kid. And now… Now, he was a total freak. He pushed open the door to his parents' room. They were sleeping. He didn't want to leave them. He didn't know what he could say to them. If they found out he was half-demon they might decide not to love him anymore.
He went to his room. He couldn't stay here. But he didn't want to go fight a war either. He looked up at his poster of Australia. Problem solved.
