captor.
    “Take
it easy,” Balen said. He released her from his grip and held up his hands in
surrender.
    “What
do you want?” Demona asked.
    “Darius
told me about his suspicions. I can tell you are huffy about it, but I want you
to know that I think his theory may hold some truth.”
    “Great
another psycho that thinks I’m something mythical!” Demona started to turn away
from him.
    “Calm
yourself! Regardless of what we believe I wanted to tell you that you did well
today. And congratulate you on your first day as an agent. I appreciate you
stepping in despite my orders.”
    “Who
cares?” Demona said. She continued down the sidewalk towards the parking lot.
    “I
will see you tomorrow,” Balen said.
    “No,
you won’t. Darius gave me the day off,” Demona said. Demona walked away down
the sidewalk.
    “Oh,
looks like someone had a bad day.” It was none other than Persephone leaning up
against the side of the building.
    Demona
approached Persephone who, oddly enough, was without her sidekick. Demona
slammed the palm of her hand into Persephone’s chest forcing her against the
wall.
    “Back
off!” Demona stared Persephone straight in the eyes. Then, Demona turned and
walked away.

    Demona
slammed her apartment door closed and began to pace around her kitchen. They can all just go to hell! First, they
turn me into a monster, and then they stick me with a crappy job. Then, they
put me on an even crappier job and now I’m supposed to believe I’m some all
powerful being?
    A
knock came from the door. Now what! Demona
peered through her peep hole. There stood her neighbor, Hannah. Demona unlocked
her door and opened it.
    “Hey,
I was just wondering if you were alright,” Hannah said. Hannah had long, wavy,
blonde hair that had been pulled back in a ponytail.
    “Yeah,
why?” Demona asked.
    “Well,
you sort of stomped past me in the hallway and ignored me when I said hello. It
looked like you were pretty angry about something, but I thought I would check
to see if you are okay.” Hannah looked at her feet as she rubbed her arm.
    “Oh,
sorry. I’ve just had a bad day. I didn’t mean to ignore you.”
    “That
is okay. I just wanted to make sure you were alright.”
    “Thanks,
yeah I’m okay,” Demona said. She began to thirst for blood and Hannah smelled
good. Oh no! I forgot to get dinner
rations! “Hey are you doing anything tonight?”
    “Not
much, just making dinner and watching some TV.”
    “Well
do you want to come over? I was going to order a pizza.”
    “Sure,
do you want me to bring anything over?”
    “Yeah,
do you have any wine?”
    “Sure,
I’ll just go grab some real quick.”
    Demona
closed the door behind Hannah. She was glad that Hannah had wine in her
apartment, it would make the night bearable for her. Since human food held no
sustenance for vampires Demona had been placed in a difficult situation.
Luckily, one of the first things vampires are taught is to drink wine to
prevent starvation. The wine acts as a blood thinner, to hold off the thirst
before it becomes uncontrollable.
    Demona
went to call in an order of pizza. She remembered that Hannah’s favorite was
pepperoni. Human food did not have any nutritional value for Demona anymore,
but she liked to eat it and try to imagine what it tasted like. Just as she
turned off her phone, Hannah was back with a bottle of white wine.
    “Is
this okay?” Hannah asked.
    “That’s
fine,” Demona said.
    Demona
opened the bottle and poured some wine into glasses for both her and Hannah. As
they waited for the pizza to arrive they sat around the kitchen island chatting
and sipping wine.
    “Did
you see the new guy who moved in on the fourth floor?” Hannah asked.
    “No,
but it looks like you did. Give me details,” Demona said. She rested her elbows
on the kitchen island and she waited for Hannah’s response.
    “He
is so gorgeous!”
    “And
did you talk to this Mr. Gorgeous?”
    “Not
yet, but I’m going
