Chapter 17 - 16

Roxanne rushed down the street to the bus stop, Mason was there as always, on time and leaning against the street sign with his arms crossed and a toothpick poking from his lips 'something doesn't feel right' she said to herself, Alex was right... "morning Roxanne, how'd you sleep" he asked, his eyes narrow, dark surrounded his sockets as if he hadn't slept all night "are you okay, you look...awful" he chuckled at the comment, unnerved "its a new look, you like..." he asked with a sinister grin, he was now looming over Roxanne, Roxanne was confused "is something wrong" she asked, trying to figure out what's wrong with her only human friend "nothing, nothing at all, how about you, you seem scared, are you scared, did someone hurt you, do i need to hurt them" he asked, his eyes wide, smile huge and vicious, almost psychotic "mason what the actual fuck is wrong with you, your creepy and not my assistant and friend i know" the look mason gave didnt go away, his horrific smile seemed to be plastered on his face, drool slightly leaked from his face, something felt evil about him, dark and just hell, he felt hot, his veins were popping from his arms and his neck, he then gently grabbed the girls hand and got down on one knee "oh Roxanne you are-" he was cut off by the bus pulling up to the stop, as soonas the man opened the door, Roxanne rushed inside "i wont be going to school today sir, I will be running some errands with my mother" the bus driver nodded then drove, Roxanne looked at him through the back windows, he winked at her which made her wince before turning the corner, he growled before pulling out a cigeratte and lighting it with a match.

Roxanne was disturbed at what just happened, her friend seemed so strange today, stranger than usual, as a Taurus, she was very loyal to her friends, she was determined to find out what was wrong with him no matter what but she was also stubborn which may also cause a hiccup in helping him...

Rodney had just woken up with a jolt "Whoa kid, you good?" asked the demon, Rodney, who was sweating somewhat of a pool "yeah, yeah im good, what time is it" he asked as he rose from the bed to grab a shirt which hangs from the side of the frame "well it's your so late o'clock " "WHAT!!" Rodney now in a fit, threw on any clothes he had lying around, grabbed his leather grey backpack and dashed out of his room "see you later" he said before slamming the door, the demon stared at the door, his smirk turned into a light frown 'funny how humans treat you like one of them...' he then walked into the bathroom and shut the door '...' he looked at himself in the mirror, his fangs bared, his horns large, his face the same fiery red stained his face, his skin, his heart if he even had one 'maybe... I can change, maybe there is a way to get redemption but I doubt it, I'm not good enough for that, espically for what I did, i can never change...' he looked at his claws, his dark black claws crept to his face, he had the nose of a wolf, his eyes were dim as embers '..no..' he then took his claw and placed it over his face in the mirror "im a monster"

Rodney had ran to the bus stop but was too late, the bus had already taken off without even seeing him, he groaned in frustration "well, looks like im gonna have to walk " he then began his long journey to school, as he walked through the dim sunlit streets though, he constantly smell nothing but rot, the foul smell was deathly and disgusting, he held his gut to stop the urge to vomit 'the fuck is that smell' he pulled out his phone light and began to search and to his horror, found a litter of dead kittens, all had no heads SNAP!, he spun around to see what made that sound but to see nothing but darkness, he ignored the sudden sound and figured it was just some predator until he could hear faint breathing, he slowly turned around to see the dark silhouette of a man, he looked as if he was smoking a cigarette, the small red glow brightened the mans face but it wasn't clear what he looked like, he was smiling, venomously, Rodney bolted from the area, he didnt know for sure who the man was but he seemed farmiliar, almost too farmiliar but still couldn't tell who this being was nor did he want to know...

'why is mason being so weird, he's usually a chill guy but he acts as if he is going to war' Roxanne knew there was something wrong with her friend but she could tell, she tried to think back at their memories but only saw her as his boss, maybe this is revenge or the end of a long friendship. later that lunch she ate her meal in the library as she studied for her government final, her grades were hanging by a thread, one more tug, and the string breaks, she needed a good grade, then to her surprise and bliss, Rodney happened to have dropped by "hey Roxy" she smiled with a wink, Roxanne smiled back at him and invited him to sit "so what are you doing here, you should be at lunch?" "well i have alot of work to do and honestly i don't really have time to socialize" "is it for government," he asked and a side of irony "yeah, I have a D- in that class and if i flunk this final im fucked dude" Rodney pulled out a piece of folded paper from his pocket and slid it over to her "I think you need this more than i do" he said with a smirk before rising from the seat (ever so gracefully) the pushing the chair back into the table and walking away, Roxanne picked up the paper and unfolded it 'answers, that sly sick fuck' she chuckled to herself before folding the paperback and placing it into her pocket.
