"I thought only witches and or wizards could open it, so I went in search of them. My mind could leave the coffin as a mist of smoke or a miasmatic kind of darkness but couldn't cause any harm at all. Funny how I thought it would be easy to manipulate the mind of a witch. They weren't humans who were weak and had no powers. In fact, they knew about me, so whenever I'd come, they'd send me back."

He began to pace from his right to his left. "The witches were very smart. Their older ones had told them about me and even if they weren't informed, they knew how dangerous a demon was and how manipulative one can be. So, after trying and failing to get to them for hundreds of years, I decided to divert to another solution. Humans." He paused and looked up at her.

"Humans are weak and powerless. The weakest of all races. One would ask what I wanted to do with a human. I wondered that myself. But it seemed I just needed someone who could say the unlocking spell and so I manipulated the minds o

    He smiled knowingly, "You seem to forget that I am also a demon. Basically, half ghost, half demon, though my demon side is partially locked away, but I can still disappear and appear with or without something or someone." He was as calm as a dove. It was like he enjoyed her freaking out. She was stunned and speechless. That explains how he brought her bag along!"Stay... away from me." She came down from the bed, her hands outstretched as her defence as she moved backwards towards the bathroom, her eyes still locked on him. As soon as her back hit the bathroom's door, she turned and rushed in, leaving the demon smiling.But Daimen's smile didn't last as he stared at the bathroom's door, "Unfortunately, I can't." He muttered under his breath.She came out minutes later only to be disappointed. He was still there. Standing by the window. Why the window though?She didn't utter a word neither did he as she rushed to grab her bag and books. She was already clothed in her usual sweatshir

    "I'm up for it." A certain cool voice spoke beside her. "Romeo's role. I would love to try it out."Sorry, he said what?!"That is wonderful!" Mrs Taylor almost jumped in excitement, "Well then, now we have our main leads already so every other person can choose theirs."A ringing sound blared in her head. She would play Juliet and this... dude would play Romeo. That would make them... lo-... lovers!'Isabella. This is your second warning. If this happens again, you might not be able to hear his voice again, nor will you talk back to him talk less of seeing him.' She remembered Kim's words earlier and stood up abruptly, "No!"All heads turned to her, "Mn?" Mrs Taylor couldn't quite understand the reason for the abruptness."I can't do it." She shook her head along with her words."Do what?""The role. I... I can't do it.""Isabella. I'm not asking you to do it. I am telling you what you would do." Mrs Taylor's reply was as firm and solid as the fist of a baby."But I won't be availabl

    Her eyes. They looked... dead! Her whole body looked dead too - on the inside.She had been partially dead internally so she would know when someone looked like that."Isabella." She called out her name for the first time but her voice was void of any emotions. What happened to her? Not like she wasn't always like this, but this... this was way worse."Was it your fault?" Huh? Why was she asking her a question out of the blue?"What was my fault?""Him not showing up again." Him? Who's him?"I... don't understand."She smiled even more, "Ofcourse you do. You left before I did. Who knew? Maybe he came here looking for me and thought I was you."Okay, what?! Who came looking for who and thought who was who?"Miss Kate, I don't understand what you're saying right now." "Why wouldn't you? You and I were the only females left in the school grounds yesterday.""We don't know that. You don't know that." Wait, why was she trying to defend herself again? Oh right, the 'him'.Miss Kate stood u

    "I... err... what?!" Chloe couldn't even form a single sense in what just happened. It was like a flash in her eyes.One minute, they were questioning Isabella and she was just there to give her account as a witness and then... Boom! She becomes a suspect! "You were the first person to see her in that state, were you not?" Isa was so calm and collected like she wasn't the one being questioned earlier."No... Yes? I don't know! Immediately you came out, I went in and saw her like that!" She was losing her cool. She was panicking. She didn't do anything wrong here so why was she been questioned?"Mr. Collins, Mr. Mark, I didn't do anything wrong here. Why am I being questioned?""No one said you did anything wrong here. We're just placing the odds." Both the principal and teacher turned their heads to Isa in surprise. It was like she wasn't the one talking. Truly, where did this side of her come from?"Enough!

    "Well," Tammy, the curious girl, turned towards him, "...how do we know if you're not a kidnapper or a serial killer who just followed this REAL OFFICER HERE who had shown us his ID just to kidnap or kill one of us, if not all." She pointed at Cole before crossing her arms on her chest as she looked up at the young looking officer. Seriously, how old is this beauty?Shawn, on the other hand was looking at her like she suddenly grew hideous horns on her head and uncountable lips on her face. Like, how did she do that? More than twenty words in a sentence!He just quietly brought out his ID in silence after her mini outburst and stretched his hand out, the ID being held between his fingers. The words, 'if I were a serial killer, he wouldn't have called me his assistant.' could be read from his expression."Okay, we're cool. You can take her." The boy who had spoken earlier, shrugged and looked away from them. Others doing the same, leaving only most of the girls still looking at them.

One sitting, the other standing behind him in the shadows. They were the cops that came to the school. And also the table.Why does it feel like she's in an interrogating room?"Can you... hear me?"

    What had he seen?Just what?The question kept running through her mind nonstop all through the class.Finally, the class ended and she hurried out immediately, hoping somebody won't follow her but, when has hope ever been on her side? Oh wait... NEVER!"Hey," He held one of her arm, stopping her and turning her towards him, "Do you have a minute? Wanna talk to you." His face was serious and all and questions were swimming in his eyes as he looked down at her annnd... no, she was not ready to answer anything. Not like she had any answers to give him though."No, I'm sorry. I don't even have a secon-"She barely finished her sentence before he held her wrist and dragged her to the school's garden. All the way there, she was trying her very possible best to get his hand off her. "Can you like, let go of me?" He finally stopped and turned, then looked at his hand wrapped around her wrist and then back at her face. He stared at her. More like her eyes. His eyes moved, staring at each ey

    Isa blinked. Once. Twice. Then her eyes twitched."What?!"Wait. Something's wrong somewhere. He must be mentally insane."Are you... insane?""No?" He chuckled out."That's what an insane person would person say."He chuckled even more then stopped when he saw that she still had a serious face on. Okay..."I'm sane, okay. No offense, but I should be asking YOU that question.""Why would you think I'm insane?""For starters, you're a loner. I mean not even a single friend? No, not even a friend. Someone who at least says hi. And then you're always acting weird. Peop-""Ehh, that's enough." She cut him off, "If you know all that, then why do you always try to talk to me?""Cos I wanna be your friend? Or someone that at least says hi?"Her straight face fell immediately, "You feel bad for me. You pity me." He straightened up, "No, no. That's not it.""Yeah, sure."
