"What the hell?!" Eloise screamed.
"Well yes, technically that's where we're from, but we call it Brim" Adam joked, which led Noah to let out a short laugh, despite the two of them grinning like idiots the girls were still stunned and staring at them both.
"Uh… Hello?" Noah said, waving a hand in front of them as Eloise and Adrianna were still and silent, their eyes were huge and mouths were dropped open.
"How did you do that?" Adrianna finally said.
"What do you mean? How did I charm you both into being speechless or how did I appear to you as if out of nowhere?" Noah said teasingly, to which Adam responded by rolling his eyes.
"It's a little complicated to explain to humans," Adam said as he scratched the nape of his neck.
He wasn't sure how much he should tell the girls right away.
"Noah has technically been here this whole time, but your minds just couldn't comprehend his being. So he just transformed into a simpler form so that you could see him." Adam explained matter-of-factly to the two gaping girls in front of them.
"So I take it, you now believe me?" Adam asked cautiously.
Eloise nodded, "I guess I do, but it still doesn't make any sense." She said cautiously.
Eloise needed proof to believe in things, and here was proof, yet she couldn't wrap her head around it.
"Well it is a lot to take in for humans. The concept of life and death is too complicated for your kind." Adam said kindly.
"Our… kind?" Eloise repeated as she tilted her head to the side, looking very confused.
"Yes, your kind, humans." Adam replied. "You're one of the simplest forms of beings so most of the planes don't make sense to you."
"Are you calling us dumb?" Eloise said angrily as her eyebrows scrunched together, she was a fighter and hated it whenever someone would try to pass an insult at her.
"NO, not at all!!!" Adam said in a panic, sensing Eloise was getting annoyed.
"That's the last thing I was trying to say! I just meant that it's a lot to process."
Eloise squinted her eyes angrily at Adam. Noah nudged Adam with his elbow.
"Quite a plan you had." Noah mumbled to him.
Adam rolled his eyes at Noah.
"All right, so basically to recap everything you've told us so far. The two of you are demons, and I was supposed to die today." Eloise said with her arms crossed.
"Right." Adam quipped.
"Okay," Eloise let out a slow breath, "And you also mentioned that you were supposed to collect my soul, is that right?"
"Right." Adam said as he nodded.
"So I'm guessing me not dying got in the way of that…." Eloise trailed off as she connected the dots in her head.
Her eyes grew wide.
"HOLY SH*T" Eloise practically shouted.
"YOU'RE HERE TO KILL ME AND TAKE MY SOUL?" She said as she slowly started to walk backwards grabbing the stunned Adrianna next to her.
"No no wait Eloise!" Adam said as he tried to grab her arm to make her stop from walking away.
As his arm touched her arm a vibration rushed through the both of them.
Noah felt something too, and his eyes grew wider as he looked at the two of them, alarmed.
The vibration made Eloise stop in her tracks.
"Did you—" Eloise began to say.
"Yeah I felt that too." Adam said, just as shocked.
Adam turned around to look at Noah, and Noah nodded at him.
"Yup, I felt it too." Noah said.
Adam's hand was still on Eloise's arm and she was staring at it.
"I told you. There's something going on here" Adam said to Noah, tilting his head towards Eloise.
"What do you mean there's something going on here??" Eloise said, exasperated.
She finally mustered up the strength to pull her arm away from Adam's touch.
"Eloise, please believe me when I say I'm not here to kill you or harm you." Adam said in a soft tone to Eloise.
Eloise glanced at Adrianna who was still silent but whose face obviously looked confused.
"How can I trust you?" Eloise said almost accusingly.
"I'll tell you everything I promise, we'll ease you both in slowly, but right now what matters is we get out of here and go somewhere more private so we can fully discuss this." He continued to say to Eloise.
Eloise blinked and thought for a second, she then turned to Adrianna who had been surprisingly silent this whole time.
"Adri, could we go to your apartment? You live alone and no one would hear or see us." Eloise said to Adrianna.
Adrianna looked at her and swallowed, "Are you telling me, you want to take two--" Adrianna paused and looked at both Adam and Noah, then she leaned in closer to Eloise to whisper "--two DEMONS, into my apartment?! Now you're the one who's crazy!!!" Adrianna said.
"Do you have any better ideas?" Eloise told her, "It's not like we can run away from them, they're literally supernatural beings!!"
This whole time Adam and Noah could hear their discussion, Adam's eyebrows were raised while Noah was smirking out of amusement with the two humans.
"Not to butt in, but I think you should listen to sweet Eloise over here," Noah said, "I mean she does have a point, you can't exactly escape us."
Adrianna made a harrumph sound and rolled her eyes. Eloise wanted to smile because despite being faced with two demons, Adrianna was still a boss bitch through and through.
"Come on Adrianna, we don't really have a choice here." Eloise said as she tugged on her friend's arm.
"Fine. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be even an ounce of nice to the two of you" Adrianna said as she squinted her eyes angrily at Adam and Noah.
