Hey, gurls!

For all the beans that commented last chapter, thanks for your kind words (blueivysmom) and perceptive minds (*cough cough* PTXfangirl15 *cough cough*).

And I can't forget the main voice of inspiration, PTXloverForever200.

Now, let's hope I don't eff up this chapter too much.

Enjoy!

*Mitch POV*

I looked down at the unconscious Light boy, a smirk still on my face.

I wasn't sure exactly why I had decided to take this one from my brother, but I knew that I had to have him.

I mean, Theo hadn't been too interesting, like I'd hoped, and I'd had to get rid of him.

No, I didn't kill him (I have more class than that); I'd just dumped him at his house.

But this boy...

There was something about him...

I shook off those thoughts quickly.

He's a Light Being, not a Demon.

Quickly, before I could change my mind and leave him there, I lifted him up, slinging him over my shoulders like a backpack.

He didn't weigh that much. At least, not to me.

Quickly, I hurried off with him before anyone else could show up.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

It took about an hour before he woke up again.
By that time, I'd gotten him home, put him on the couch, fixed my hair and makeup, and made dinner.

What can I say? I was bored.
Besides, the servants don't do everything for me.

When he sid finally come to, I was sitting across from him in my red chair.

"Took you long enough," I said, chuckling at his bewildered expression.

"What... Who... Huh?" he stuttered, looking around.

"You were being ensnared by my brother," I said slowly, trying to get through to him.

He looked at me, as if he still couldn't wrap his mind around it.

"Alex is your brother?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said, rolling my eyes, "Unfortunately so."

He tried to get up, but he sat back down quickly, putting a hand to his forehead, muttering "Ow..."

"Here," I said, handing him a cup of water, "This should help. As for the dizziness, that should pass."

He accepted the water, but his hand was shaking so badly, he almost spilled it.

Rather than see him ruin his clothes (which would have been funny), I came over to help him hold the cup steady, so that he could take a sip.

In the process, my hand accidentally brushed against his, and I jumped slightly at the feeling of warmth and... trust that radiated off him.

He jumped as well, and he stiffened a bit as he stared at me.

"Why are you helping me?" he asked, "You're a Demon."

I shrugged, as if it didn't matter, but internally, I was wondering the same thing.

"I don't normally kick someone who's already down," I said, "That's no fun."

That was true, but I doubted that that was the reason.

Then he did something unusual, something that I didn't normally see among Demons.

He smiled.

Now, don't get me wrong, we Demons smile, but it's usually not very sincere or anything like that.

But his smile...

His smile seemed to light up his entire being, and the innocence in it made me want to wrap my arms around him, to preserve and protect that innocence...

Wait a minute.

By the Demon Lords, what the heck am I thinking?

I shook my head a little to clear it.

"Drink," I ordered, "You need to regain your strength. I'll get you something to eat in a moment."

He nodded, then asked, "What happens now?"

I stopped in my tracks, the question taking me by surprise.

I recovered quickly, though.

"That's for me to know and you to find out," I said.

And before he could say anything else, I left the room.

Tada!

Soooooooooo... how'd I do?

Oh, and by the way...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Luv you all! *blows kisses*
