Demona Morning Chapter 2
As the Morning came around James placed his hand over his mouth and yawned. While doing that he opened his eyes a little to see a beautiful young red-headed girl laying next. Still half asleep he closed his eyes and turned to face the ceiling. He then scrunched his eyes in confusion and opened his eyes again and blinked a couple of times and thought to himself 'Did I see what I thought I saw?' Then he slowly moved his head to face left and focused his gaze. He looked long and hard until he became wide-eyed and shot up out of bed, fumbling all over the place with a quiet "CRASH, THUD." While making the noise the mysterious girl, still asleep in bed moaned and turned over to her left side. James was against the wall not knowing what was happening. He looked around, trying to make sense of it all. He pushed himself away from the wall and started pacing up and down the room muttering to himself "What's going on, if I remember last night I helped someone who wasn't a person but someone with wings, purple skin, claws and talons with a tail, but now I somehow end up in bed with a young girl who looks to be in her mid 20s and she has the same outfit as the person I saved, with the same bandages that look a little lose now. Am I seeing thing, did I just dream the whole thing up and brought back a girl I don't know." Clapping his hands to his head he yells "URGH AHHHHHH, WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" As he finished his rant he realizes he was too load and looks over to his bed and sees the young girl sitting up looking at him with a look "Have you quite finished!" she says sarcastically. He just looks at her and smiles then shakes his head and goes towards the bed and sits on his side, with a hand on his chin he lifts it from his face about to say something then closes his mouth and scuffles and scratches the back of his head and then turns to her and stutters, trying to make heads or tails out of the situation "How...? Who...? When did you...?" while saying the young girl tries to answer, but stops as he was asking them dumb questions. She sat there, starting to feel impatient then said aloud "THAT'S IT!" and lunges on top of him to shut him up and clasps her hand to his mouth. He struggles trying to get her hand off, but she had quite a grip. She then leaned in and looks in in the eyes and says "It's me Demona and yes I change from a Gargoyle to a human during the day and yes you heard me I said Gargoyle." While she said all of that he laid there not moving, but listening to every word she says and calms down. The human Demona notices that he had relaxed and then lets go of his mouth. He looks at her in astonishment he then says "Wow, can all Gargoyles change to humans during the day?" Demona looks to the side a little and said "No, just me and besides not all Gargoyles like me." Not really understanding he then asks "Is it because you change or something else?" Demona looks at him trying to think of something say but just shook her head to say no. As James lays there, still under the human Demona. He then asks, trying to change the subject "How come you can change but the other Gargoyles can't?" Demona looks at him as says with a straight face "It's because of Puk the fairy, he made it so that I change into a human during the day and a Gargoyle at night, as some kind of prank." James laid still looking a bit confused and said with a light chuckle "Wait Puk, like from a "Midsummer Nights Dream" that Puk?" With look of amazement from Demona she then asks "How come you know about that book?" James simply said "I majored it in University, kinda you-have-to-take-this-poetry-course sort of thing, the lectures pretty much used it as a reference in most lessons and now it's stuck in my head, but anyway it's kinda cool that you can change, a kind of disguise during the day and everything." When he was finished Demona then asks "Yeah, but I bet you like this look more than my Gargoyle..." Before she could finish her sentence James leaned up and quickly said "Don't be ridiculous, I think both changes are beautiful an..." Realizing what he just said he then looked down at his stomach with his fringe moving in front of his eyes. Demona looks in shock as she tried to remember all of his words, she looked at him with seriousness and he could feel his cheeks turning red. She then makes him look in her eyes and said "Really, are you serious!?" He just looks away, his cheeks flaring red, too embarrassed to say anything he just nods in a reply. Demona moves her face away and sits up on top of him, not realizing she was still on top. She then says with her cheeks turning red and looking away "Do you like me?" James just looks at her, not saying a word with his mouth a little open in awe. Demona then gave a couple of glances at him and shouts "WELL, say something." As James laid there not moving he jumps a little to what Demona just shouted and said with determination and a little scared "Huh, O-of course I do, ever since I saw you in the ally my heart just skipped a beat like it just did when you asked me!" Not knowing how to react to that, Demona clasped both of her hands towards her mouth. Not knowing what to say or what to do, as though trying to hide her cheeks as they turn red she shook her head and bent her body into an arch with her head on his chest and started to cry. James just laid there dumbfound, not sure what to do, he thought to himself while everything seemed to be in slow-motion "should I put my arms around her or wait until she finished crying?" When he finished asking himself that question, he looked to her not sure what to do. As he saw her shake from side to side, still crying something inside James just clicked and he thought to himself 'To hell with it!' placing his arms around her lovingly she jumped a little at the sudden touch of his hands on her skin and looked up and saw James looking at her with no evil intent in his eyes but a warm welcoming feel. They looked at each other not knowing what's happening. With his arms not quite wrapped around her, he pulled her up more to wrap his arms around her waist and at the same time Demona reached her arms upwards to wrap her arms around his head. They brought their faces closer and closer to each other, with tears still on Demona's face and a warm open smile on James'. Each one drew closer and closer to each other and before they knew it they closed their eyes and felt the softness of each others lips, with feelings of great passion towards one-another it felt as though nothing was around them, as though they were the only two people alive on earth, entwining with such passion, it was like raw passionate instinct have took over them, nether one wanting it to end no matter what.
Breathing heavily after what happened they laid in bed next to each other looking at the ceiling. When Demona says with a mixture of happiness, tiredness and worriness "What's gonna happen now." looking towards the man she slept with, who laid next to her, looking at the ceiling then towards her. He sighs and turns towards her, looking at her with such happiness while placing a hand warm loving hand on her cheek to see if it wasn't a dream, as she received the hand she smiled and grabbed in hoping it wasn't a dream as well. As they moved closer to each other, in a loving, hugging way they both sighed and for a moment or two were completely happy, with their eyes closed. Then James opened his James and looked towards her and said "Well, I guess for starters we'll get ourselves together, I get you some fresh clothes and shoes, then we go out for breakfast and talk to each other about ourselves, you know about who we are and what we do, then I ask you something really important." As he said that Demona looks up from James' chest in a breath-taking way. James looks at her and says jokingly "or now, I can ask you now, after all everything doesn't need to be in order, except the clothes, shoes and breakfast, that's pretty much a line up." As he says that Demona chuckles a little and hits him on the chest and they both laugh it off. James then sits brushing Demona's left shoulder with his left hand and asks in an understanding tone "Will you tell me your answer?" Demona looks up and smiles then looks back down and says gently "I'll tell you after breakfast." James looks down in a oh-is-that-so manner, smiles and says "I can live with that." and they both sat, holding each-other with happiness.
