[ WP ] `` So what if I 'm a Demon ? `` , she said , eyes glowing . '' I bet your parents will still like me ! ''

`` Yeah, about that.'' I say, cringing. 
 `` Mom is a strict Catholic. And Dad wanted me to be a Methodist preacher like Grandpa was. They thought inter-denominational marriage was edgy'' 
 
 
 `` Oh I did n't mean you have to actually tell them about it.'' Her eyes go back to normal. `` Just take me home to meet them like you would a normal, human girl.'' 
 
 
 `` Yeah I ca n't see how that could go wrong.'' I sigh. 
 
 
 `` What are you so worried about?'' she replies.'You would n't have known if I had n't showed you my true self just now.'' 
 
 
 `` But what if something happens?'' I say. `` What if you come in contact with holy water or a cross?'' 
 
 
 She rolls her eyes at me. `` Do n't believe every little monster myth you hear. The only people who can see me as a Demon are those I choose.'' 
 
 
 `` Are you sure?'' I'm looking for a way out of this. 
 
 
 She sighs. `` Yes.'' 
 
 `` I've been coming up on break to play human for the past nine-thousand years. And no one has found me out yet.'' 
 
 
 `` Why?'' I ask. 
 
 
 `` Because work is BORING!'' she exclaims. `` Torturing fallen souls was great for about 300 years. Now I've seen and done it all. The only thing I have to look forward to is break, which the Boss only gives us once every sixty-six years.'' 
 
 `` Speaking of which, we're burning candlelight here.'' she says and stands up. 
 
 
 I look around for a way to escape the situation. 
 
 
 `` Come on, it'll be fun.'' She smiles at me. `` Let's go.'' 
 
 `` Or I'll get angry. And, like the green man in the movie said, you would n't like me when I'm angry!'' 
 
 
 I stand up and sigh. 
 I start cursing myself in my head. `` Always a catch when the hot girl messages you online, you idiot!'' 
 
 
 I grab her arm and head for the door.
