章 26: LIVING WITH A DEMON

She walked to me as I moved back gently. I didn't know what to do, I guessed I didn't think it through. She ran to me, I was scared, I couldn't move. Then suddenly, she fell, so I walked to her to check. Turns out she was sleeping, I guessed she was tired. So, I carried her home, she was lighter than she looked.

I ate the hamburger I bought from a fast-food restaurant. I had to manage till I got my pay, so I would only buy something when I needed it. I walked to my bedroom where I kept her. She was peacefully sleeping on my bed, so I decided to sleep on the couch tonight. I took one of the pillows and left the blanket for her and went to the sitting room and slept.

It has been two weeks since May was sleeping and she has not woken up. The school has gone on holiday, so I will spend more time at the workshop.

I came back with my pay that day, it was two hundred dollars. I decided to use all of it to buy some food since Mr. John said he was going to sponsor my education. I did buy a lot of stuff, but I kept some money, in case of emergencies.

I went back home to check on May. She was still sleeping, at this point I didn't know what to do. Is she going to remain like this? What if she suddenly wakes up one night and eats me? I held her hand and looked at her face.

She looked more beautiful than when she was human. Her black hair short black hair had grown to her waist, her red eyes were brighter, and her body was sexier and lighter. For some reason, I liked her better.

I don't know what got into me, I kissed her. She immediately woke up and jumped out of bed.

"May, are you okay?" I asked. She didn't reply, she just stood on guard.

I walked slowly to her and stretched my hand out to her.

"I was scared, I thought you were never going to wake up"

She growled at me. I stopped, and her stomach grumbled.

"I guessed you're hungry after sleeping for almost a month, come on, I prepared rice and meat," I said. Her mood brightened up as soon as I mentioned meat. I walked downstairs hoping she'd follow me and hopefully, she did.

She sat at the dining table, while I served our meal. I gave her a big chunk of meat and she immediately rushed it, ripping the meat out of the bone. It frightened me, is that how she's going to rip my flesh?

I shook the thought out of my mind. A girl that beautiful can't kill a human. She finished the meat and smiled at me, she looked cute. I sat down to eat my meal but she kept staring at my food.

"you want some meat?" I asked and she nodded happily. " I guessed you only eats meat, that means, more food for me"

That's how I kept living with a demon. She only seems interested in meat, I mean cooked meat.

One day, I was hanging my laundry when she came out to me. I quickly used myself as a shield to protect her from the sun, but she walked into it like it was nothing. I was surprised, I thought demons get burnt up and die in the sun. She smiled at me happily and I allowed her to help me out.

After taking another look at her, I've noticed she has grown taller. The clothes she was wearing had begun to get smaller and were dirty. Since she can go out in the sun, I decided to take her to the mall. I can buy her new clothes and shoes and maybe a few things for myself with the rest of my salary.

"May, will you go with me?" I asked. "no, that was weird, too straightforward," I said to myself.

"Hmm," she smiled, nodding her head. I was happy, but I knew this wouldn't last forever. Sooner than later, the academy might find out and May try to kill her. I won't be able to protect her.

She hugged me.

"But, what about your nails?" I said.

She looked at them curiously.

"they are too long. You won't mind if I cut them for you, would you?"

She bit off her fingers and grew them back without regenerating her nails.

"or..., you can do just that"

We went out and had fun and I bought her some things and a special gift, a bracelet.

We went to the park and she seemed to like the sun. She kept rolling on the grass, smiling cheerfully the entire time. It even attracted a crowd, as some bunch of dudes were asking me if she was my sister. I quickly answered, saying she was my girlfriend, which made them disappointed. She looked older than me so some people didn't believe me until she stood up and hugged me tightly.

It had been five years since May started living with me, during this time I tried my best to keep her hidden. I always lock her up in my room before going to school, leaving a chunk of meat with her in case she got hungry.

I celebrated my thirteenth birthday on the 16th of June with May and it was just the two of us, it was fun. Mr. John gave me a gift at the workshop, while Jace gave me an adult magazine he stole from his father, but it was still great.

May has been asleep for two months now. I thought it was normal so I didn't disturb her. I was in the sitting room watching TV when I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to the door wondering who might come to visit this early in the morning. I opened the door to see Emily and some men, who quickly forced their way into the house.

"what's the meaning of this? what's happening?" I asked. Emily explained to me.

According to her, the academy said I was seen with a demon and they are here to dispatch it, take the house and force me to attend the academy.
