to
him.
    “It’s
not your fault. I just haven’t been back here since. For some reason I felt
like it would be safe having you with me,” Demona said.
    “Well,
I am honored,” Felix placed his hand over his heart, “that you chose me to be
your escort through this.” A smile spread across his face.
    As
Demona looked at Felix she could not help but smile. She was aware that his arm
rested across her shoulders.
    They
sat in silence for what seemed like forever. Both Demona and Felix gradually
leaned against one another. Demona rested her head on Felix. She listened as
his heart thumped and the blood rushed through his veins .
    He is alive, He
is here with me. I wish things could always be this perfect.
    “I
want to do this again,” Felix said.
    “Okay.
I have work all week, but maybe next weekend.”
    “That
sounds great.”
    After
a few more moments had passed, they made their way back down the path towards
Felix’s car. They stood on the sidewalk facing one another. Felix reached for
Demona’s hand, and caressed it with his thumb. They stared deep into one
another’s eyes. In the setting sun, Demona could not quite make out the
brilliant blue eyes of his, but a smile shown on his face as he looked back at
her.
    “I
really enjoyed the walk,” Felix said.
    “Me
too. Well… except for the whole flashback thing. I’m happy you were here with
me,” Demona said.
    “Anytime,
I am happy that I could be here for you when you needed me. I’m already looking
forward to our next date.” Felix smiled.
    There it is
again, he’s killing me with that smile. Good thing I’m already dead.
    “Well
I better get going.” Felix let her hand go.
    “Yeah,”
Demona said. “I’ll talk to you later.” She placed the hand he had held around
her waist.
    “You
bet.” Felix turned towards his car.
    Demona
waited until he was ready to pull out of the parking space to wave goodbye.

 
 
 
 
 
 
    Chapter 8
    Missing Someone

 
    Demona
had just finished her rations when her cell phone rang. She reached for her
phone quickly wondering who was calling. Felix. His name flashed across her
screen as it had done every day since their walk.
    “Hello,”
Demona said.
    “Hey.
How are you?” Felix asked.
    “Good,
you?” It is good to hear his voice again.
    “Okay,”
Felix said. “Look I know that we had made arrangements to hang out this
weekend, but I was wondering if it was alright if I stop over tonight?”
    “Sure,
I’ll be here.”
    “Great,
see you soon.” Felix hung up.
    Demona
screeched. She quickly fluffed the pillows on her sofa and threw her magazines
into a pile. She then kicked her pile of shoes into her bedroom and ran inside.
She began digging through her closet for something cute to throw on. After
changing she quickly ran to the bathroom, combed her hair, and brushed her
teeth. When she was done she stared into the mirror at herself.
    What does he see
in me? If he knew my secret he would not want to be with me.
    Before
she could figure it out a knock came from her door. Demona quietly leaped to
the door. She gained her composure. She looked through the peep hole to make
sure it was him, and swung the door open.
    Felix
stood there casually with a half smirk across his face. His blue eye sparkled
at the sight of her. In his hand he held a single lush white rose. Felix handed
her the rose and she invited him inside.
    Demona
took the rose and held it up to her nose. With her vampire senses the rose’s
sweet scent was magnified. She admired the soft tone and the way the petals
elegantly curved to form such a beautiful flower.
    I don’t even
think I own a vase. She
went to a cabinet to search for one. Finding none she took a glass out of the
cabinet, ran some cool water in it, and placed the rose stem inside. When she
was finished she turned her attention to Felix who waited patiently.
    “Before
we say anything else I need to tell you something. Please, just hear me out,”
Felix said. “I don’t
