    Then it was time for “Class” as the girls put it. Basically we all gathered in a theater type room, with Vulcan talking in the front. We began with a few laws that we needed to get into our skulls. One law that said a male and female pair goes out in the field had me thinking for a while. Yesterday I couldn’t help but notice that all the girls had a guy Custos and the boy’s had girl Custos ; why on earth would they do that? Wouldn’t two girls get along much better, than a grumpy old guy and a seventeen year old girl?
    “May I ask a question?” I asked Vulcan, interrupting him while he was explaining a law to us.
    “Of course Kas, go ahead.”
    “Why do you pair girls with guy’s Custos , and vice versa for the boys?” I asked, watching Kali turn around looking at me with interest. Okay, so I’m not the only one left in the dark here.
    “You are the first one in many years to ask that question. Out in the field we have various demons to destroy. Some are more powerful than others, some so powerful not even a fallen alone can withstand them. Many years ago, before the humans 1300’s, we had huge problem with two types of demons. These two types still exist, and have become even more powerful then in those years.
     
    “Able to trick a fallen into either killing their partner, or they are taken into the underworld, never to return or be seen again. We lost many before we could find a solution. For example, your mother and father is a fighting pair. They go out into the field and fight together. If such a demon should cross their paths, one will be able to protect the other from the demon. That is why we pair you with counter sex Custos . When you go out into the field with them for your final training they will be able to protect you. You, in return, would be able to either protect them or act to protect them.”
    “Okay, so clearly we are up against two demon types that not even the fallen could take on without each other’s help. Damn, that makes sense.
    “What would happen if a fighting pair crossed path with two of these demons at the same time?” Juno asked, so serious I almost had a déjà vu moment from Chax. Oh yes, I forgot they are both vampires, not a people’s person. I wonder if they need to do the blood thing.
    “None have been able to defeat both of the demons at the same time. They either die or are taken,” Vulcan replied, looking at her with the same serious face she had on permanently. Man that’s a bummer. So pray you never get the two demons in one spot together, or you and your partner are so dead.
    “What do we call these demons?” Lada asked, leaning over the seat in front of her, very interested in the subject.
    Vulcan looked at us for a minute . “ The female is called a Haplai and the male Chiddigul,” he finished, and kept his eyes on us. Some caught their breaths, a boy whistled, and another girl made a choking sound. I looked at Lada, not understanding what the big deal is. Yeah, sure we are dead if we are alone or come across both of them. But at least we had a chance to take them on and get the hell out of there.
    Vulcan then turned around and finished the law he was busy with. The rest of the class went by very quiet, everyone thinking over the discussion we had just had. I just shrugged and paid attention to Vulcan for the rest of the morning.
    After we finally finished, we retired to the grub spot to get some food. Everyone walked in silence. Okay, so the discussion had everyone dumbstruck or something? I was just taking the first scoop of food and almost had it in my mouth, when Lotan spoke behind me, scaring the big jeepers out of me.
    “Can I speak with you, Kas?”
    Dropping the scoop of food half in my plate and half out of it, I was instantly irritated by the guy. Man, didn’t he notice everyone was in a dark, gloom and doom moment? I turned around to face him, and only when I saw him up close, did I notice blue finger marks around his neck. Oh
