"Yeah that's one of the secrets I mentioned last night." Rachel said grinning sheepishly as she looked at the living vampire.

"But you're a witch, so how can you be a demoness? You don't even smell of demon?" Ivy questioned confused and causing Rachel to sigh slightly.

"My birth father is apparently a demon, which one he is I don't know nor care. That made me a half demon at birth, however due to my witch blood I had suffered from Rosewood Syndrome when I was a baby. One of my dad's friends used an illegal genetic treatment to implant more demon DNA in me to save me from Rosewood. Doing that made me more demon than witch, however my scent stays that of a normal witch's for my own protection." Rachel said shrugging at the end as if it were no big deal.

"Like I said she's the first demon child in 5,000 years, so naturally almost all of the demons are inclined to spoil and protect her. She's also the only female demon besides myself, which makes her even more precious for us." Newt added as she served up the bacon, sliding a generous helping of it to Rachel who smiled at her.

"Basically every male demon out there aside from her adoptive dad and a few others are trying to seduce her to bear demon babies to revive our race…although we make it quite clear that if any of them lay a finger on her, I'll kill them slowly and painfully." Newt said sliding a plate to Ivy who was still standing beside Rachel staring with wide eyes. The comment about male demons trying to seduce Rachel though, that got a growl out of her.

"Rachel's mine!" Ivy snarled her fists clenching and causing Newt to smirk.

"And that is why I didn't kill her Rachel. She's as protective of you as me and your dad are." Newt said causing Rachel to sigh and hit her head on the table.

"Tinks Little red undies what's going on? Why does it smell like – a demon!?" Jenks flew into the kitchen with a scowl on his face before paling and promptly pulling his sword.

"It's alright Jenks. This is my adoptive mom, Newt. She's been looking after me ever since I was little." Rachel said quickly as she explained things to the pixie who blinked at her for a moment before looking at Newt, then at Ivy, then back to Rachel.

"Is it wrong that I'm starting to feel bad for whoever Denon sends after you now?" Jenks asked after a moment of staring, making Rachel snicker while Ivy and Newt frowned.

"No!" Newt and Ivy said instantly and at the same time, causing them both to share startled looks when they realized what they had done.

"Seriously Denon has trouble finding his nose on his own…why should we feel bad for whoever listens to the idiot?" Rachel asked making Jenks crack up while Ivy shook her head slightly.

"You are trouble little witch…but that's okay. I like trouble." Ivy said smiling as she took the seat next to Rachel who grinned at her.

"I'm not trouble. I'm a trouble magnet. Besides you're dangerous, but that's okay because I like danger and I like you." Rachel said smirking as she leaned closer to Ivy before poking her on the nose.

"Boop." Rachel said grinning at the look of disbelief on Ivy's face while the red head leant back into her seat while Newt rolled her eyes and Jenks fell to the table laughing at the look on Ivy's face.

"I don't get what the significance of that 'boop' thing you do is but you only do it to people important to you. If he wasn't so small I'm sure you'd have done it to Jenks too." Newt said causing Rachel to shrug her shoulders.

"I don't really understand it much either…I just get these flashes sometimes of…I don't know how to explain it other than of a past life or something. I…One of the people in them…they were important to me and they…they did the boop thing to the people they liked. I guess that's why I do it." Rachel said frowning slightly as she tried to think causing Newt to grimace and nod in understanding.

"Yeah your soul is pretty old, about as old if not older than mine is…and with your demon blood still growing and developing your body it stands to reason that your past memories would be tickling at your mind. Can you remember anything about the past life you mentioned? What you looked like or what the people around you were like?" Newt asked causing Rachel to frown as she nibbled at her bacon in thought.

"I looked the same I think. My hair was red and my eyes were green but at the same time different. My hair was longer and straight for one…and I wasn't as pale or small as I am now." Rachel began thoughtfully while Newt frowned.

"Well by demon terms you're still a growing child, which is one of the reasons I insist on coming to make you breakfast every day, so you could grow into the size that you were in the past life." Newt said making Ivy raise an eyebrow at her.

"Rachel is in her twenties though?" Ivy asked in obvious confusion as she looked at the demoness that looked a lot like Rachel at the moment.

"Demons and proto-demons like Rachel age and develop slower than any other race. Twenty is a perfectly legal adult to all the other races but it's still a child to demons. A demon or demoness is not considered an adult until the age of forty. Much like how the age of consent for other races is sixteen instead of eighteen though, the age of consent for demons is usually around thirty five to thirty eight depending on the demons development and growth rates. Rachel is small and underdeveloped for witch standards because she is developing like a demon. For demon standards she's actually a little ahead of development but still small which is natural in female demons." Newt explained causing Ivy to blink for a moment before she looked at the just as surprised Rachel.

"So…I'm dating someone who is under-aged?" Ivy asked making Newt nod.

"Yes but dating is permitted as a demon or demoness grows as long as there is no sexual activity until the demon child is the age of consent. Personally the way I see is if you don't mind dating her and waiting until she's at least thirty six then you have my full permission to date her. It's not often a demon or demoness finds someone of another species willing to wait that long." Newt said nodding and making Ivy smile at Rachel.

"I'll wait however long Rachel needs me too." Ivy said making Rachel's cheeks turn red while Newt smiled and Jenks flew over to land on Rachel's earring to tease and joke at the red heads embarrassment.

"What else do you remember Rachel?" Newt asked turning her attention back to her daughter who frowned in thought again.

"I remember…who I think were my friends…and the person who killed me…one of my friends…I got the boop thing from…but there was another…she was…more important to me than the rest…I think I had a crush on her…or maybe more than a crush…I can't remember completely. She was small, two years younger than me, her hair was black with red tips…she loved the color red, had a red hood and everything…her eyes were silver though…she had a large red weapon…a scythe…Crescent Rose? I think that's what she called it…she didn't look it…but she was really strong…and as fast as an undead master vampire. I remember something about rose petals. I…I remember a scream…I think she saw me be killed." Rachel said thinking hard before a gasp from Ivy caused every eye to turn to her.

Ivy's eyes were wide and locked on Rachel as they faintly glowed silver. Her voice was weak and shaky, too low for most people to hear her, as she spoke a single name. A single name that caused Rachel to grasp her head in pain as one past life became clear.

"P-Pyrrha?"
