We went to the park and she seemed to like the sun. She kept rolling on the grass, smiling cheerfully the entire time. It even attracted a crowd, as some bunch of dudes were asking me if she was my sister. I quickly answered, saying she was my girlfriend, which made them disappointed. She looked older than me so some people didn't believe me until she stood up and hugged me tightly.
It had been five years since May started living with me, during this time I tried my best to keep her hidden. I always lock her up in my room before going to school, leaving a chunk of meat with her in case she got hungry.
I celebrated my seventh birthday on the 16th of June in May, and even though it was just the two of us, it was fun. Mr. John gave me a gift at the workshop, while Jace gave me an adult magazine he stole from his father, but it was still great.
May has been asleep for two months now. I thought it was normal so I didn't disturb her. I was in the sitting room watching TV when I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to the door wondering who might come to visit this early in the morning. I opened the door to see Emily and some men, who quickly forced their way into the house.
"What's the meaning of this? What's happening?" I asked. Emily explained to me.
According to her, the academy said I was seen with a demon and they were here to dispatch it, take the house and force me to attend the academy.
"But I said I don't want to attend the school" I argued.
"Ma'am, we found the demon" a man came to inform Emily.
"Keep it tied up and ready," she replied.
"Ready?. Ready for what?" I asked.
"We will dispatch it" A man came downstairs with May tied up, she was struggling with them but his grip was too strong for her.
"What...?" My body was shaking, I couldn't help her.
"But, you can save it on one condition"
"What is it?"
"The demon will be used as an experiment and you will attend the academy"
"It's not it, she is a living being, she is a female. I won't let you do anything to her"
"If you come with us, we will think about not dispatching her," Emily said. "And we'll also be taking the house"
"O, okay" I agreed. I was about to leave when Mr. John came.
"What is going on here?" He asked.
"This is none of your business, sir," Emily replied calmly.
"That boy you are about to kidnap is my assistant and his father left him under my care" John explained. How did he know about all this? "I don't know what's going on here, but if he agrees to follow you, that is his choice but the house is under my care"
"If you say so. We'll be leaving the house to you. Our priority is the children living here" Emily said.
"Henry, don't worry. I will keep the house waiting for you" Mr. John assured me.
"Thank you, sir"
We left as he kept waving at us.
"I'll bring your stuff later" he shouted behind us as we entered a car. Throughout all this, May was still calm. I guessed it was because I was acting calm.
May was put in some unbreakable glass prison, where there was a bed and chair and a table. According to them, they will be testing her intelligence to know which class of demon she is.
As for me, I was posted to Japan. They said I needed to be as far away from May as possible. And I might discover some things about my father that I didn't know because he once attended the Japanese ASE academy.
But before I left, my boss came with some of my things and gave me some money.
"You know I can't use dollars in Japan," I said to him, trying to hold back my tears.
"I know, just keep it with you," he said, and without another word, he left and came back. "What about your friend, did you tell him?"
"No, I didn't want him to get emotional," I laughed.
"Call him later, okay?. I'll tell him anytime I see him"
"Thanks, boss"
"No, from now on. You can just call me John" he smiled and left.
I wanted to see May before I left, but Emily disagreed. Even though she told me not to, I forced my way into where she was kept. I opened the door and hugged her. Some staff members wanted to stop me but Emily told them to leave me.
I kept a framed photo of me on the table.
"Don't forget to be a good girl," I told her.
She nodded.
"And don't try to escape, okay?"
She nodded.
"And do whatever they tell you,"
She nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll be back. And when I do, we'll have a feast, just me and you, and you can have all the meat you want"
She smiled and nodded happily.
She held my hand tightly and bit it. I screamed in pain, the staff that was waiting for me wanting to help but I told them to stay back.
"I can take care of it," I said to them and turned to May, she still held my hand with her sharp teeth. I patted her head. "There, there. I told you, I'll be back. Please, let me leave now, I promise I will return and we can go back home"
May resisted my sweet talk. I guessed there was only one way to fool her.
"If you let go and you do everything the nice lady asked, they will give you all the meat you can eat"Shee happily let go of my hand and I quickly ran out and waved at her.
"Are you going to be fine?" Emily asked.
"Huh?"
"The bite," she said and pointed at the wound.
"It won't affect me"
I arrived at the academy in Japan, it was a long ride but finally, I'm here. I just hope May is doing okay. Don't worry, she is a demon, she will be just fine, but again, that's the reason why I'm worried.
I went to the principal's office only to find a female. She looked like she was in her early thirties, she looked at me cheerfully and invited me in.
"Excuse me, ma'am, please I'm new here," I said as a sign of respect.
"You must be Kennedy Henry, am I right?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Please, have a seat"
I walked to the chair facing her as she sat on the other side of the table. I saw a little girl, about four or five years old. I think that her daughter. The girl had a little body and long purple hair. I can even say the hair was too long for a child her age. But again, this is Japan, not America. She had bright purple eyes that just kept on staring at me. I decided to pay no attention to her.
