I was in the bedroom with Alex when Max came running in "Cassie can I talk to you for a sec?" he asked nervously, I looked at Alex who nodded and I left the room with Max "What's going on?" I asked once we reached my room, it was soundproof to the outside "Well, you know how you're a demon?" he asked, I nodded "Are you classified as a monster?" he asked, I nodded "Well yeah if someone came at me with a monster detector it would go off and say level 10 monster, their very rare to find" I explained, he ran his hands through his hair nervously
"Max what's wrong?" I asked, he sat down on the bed and patted next to him, I sat down "Well, Justin's a monster hunter" he began "Yeah I've known that for a while" I said "And, he gets these cases sometimes. He told me he got one today, he's demon hunting, but to do that he needs help, so..." he couldn't finish and put his head in his hands "Tell me" I begged getting really nervous
"The wizard he works for sent in a group of demon hunting specialists" he finished, I stood up slowly "I have to go" I said wringing my hands nervously "No you don't, I'll make sure they don't find you" he said taking my hands in his own, I looked down at him "Max, they will kill me, hunters never listen, they will burn me alive" I said through tears, he had tears in his eyes as well and he jumped up "I won't let them, no one will get you I swear" he said shaking his head, I hugged him tightly and he hugged back.
After our emotional brake down we finally composed ourselves enough to leave the room, Max went somewhere while I went back to Alex, she noticed something was wrong right away "Cassie what's wrong?" she asked pulling me into the room, I sighed and decided to tell her "I'm not exactly a wizard" I said slowly, she gave me a strange look "What do you mean?" she asked "I'm only part wizard" I said "Okay then what's the other part?" she asked nervously "I'm part Demon" I released, her eyes widened "Um, okay, what exactly is a demon?"
she asked "Well, we have black angels wings, horns, vampire fangs and we usually drink blood" I said, she jumped off the bed "You drink blood?" she exclaimed, I shook my head "No, I don't, I never have" I said calming her down, she nodded and sat back on the bed "So what's the problem?" she asked shrugging "Demons are meant to be extinct, there are a lot of bad demons, I was bit by one, so I'm technically half, but the rule still goes, when demons are found, good or bad their burnt alive" I said, her eyes widened "Justin doesn't know I'm a demon, Max told me that Justin is now a demon hunter, demons are level 10 monsters and if a junior wizard is to catch one of us they'll be rewarded greatly.
But they can't do it on their own, so the wizarding world have sent Justin a team of their best demon hunters to find one, he gets to work with them" I explained, she shook her head "They won't hurt you, I won't let em" she said firmly, I smiled "Max said the same" I said shaking my head "Look, I don't tell the truth often so you had best enjoy this. You're not just my little brothers girlfriend, you're my friend, and I never let anything bad happen to my friends" she said, I hugged her and she hugged back "Now, don't worry about Justin, I won't tell him about you, is it okay if I tell Harper?"
she asked hopefully, I nodded "Me, Harper and Max will figure out a way to keep you safe, now when are the demon hunters meant to arrive?" she asked, I shrugged "Couple of days depending on the traffic" I replied, she nodded "Okay c'mon let's plan" she said taking my hand and dragging me downstairs, we ran into the shop and I paused in horror, there were demon hunters everywhere "Cassie" Max exclaimed running over "You have to get out of here" he said nervously
"Max what are they doing here?" Alex asked panicked "I don't know they came early I guess" he said shrugging "Well if you haven't noticed, your girlfriend is a demon and these guys are demon hunters" Alex snapped, he glared "I know what she is and I know what they are, the best thing right now is to act casual" he said nervous, we all nodded and headed for the stairs, I accidently passed one of the detectors and it lit up like a Christmas tree "There's a demon here, it's one of those kids, get em!"
a guy shouted, we ran upstairs and locked the door "That won't hold em for long" Alex shouted, Max turned to me "Cassie you have to get out of here" he said taking my hands, I shook my head "No, I won't leave you" I said "I'll be fine, just go somewhere safe, please do it for me" he begged, I nodded and kissed him quickly "I love you" he said "Love you too" I said, I closed my eyes and flashed out of the apartment, and out of New York.
