Unnatural

Part 3

"Ah! Rebecca, come, sit down." Francis motioned for me to sit next to him. I walked over to him.

"Becky is fine."

"Okay then, Becky. I don't have anything on my schedule soooo, what do you want to do?"

...

"I don't know... why don't you show me around the castle?"

"Ooh, great idea!"

He showed me around the castle and it lasted for three hours. Afterwards, I was feeling tired so I decided to go to my room.

"I'm going to my room. Feeling a bit- whoa!" The world around me started to spin.

"Becky! Are you okay?" Francis grabbed my waist before I could fall. "Thanks, I think I can...." and I blacked out.

Everything is black. Everything is quiet. I'm alone.

Suddenly, a white light appears. I walk towards it.

"Rebecca." I hear a name whisper.

"Who's there?" I look around cautiously.

"It's me, your mother." She whispers again. A woman appears with black hair and blue eyes. "But, my mother's blonde! You can't be my mother!"

"She may have raised you, but I am your mother. Your birth mother."

"Why did you leave me with people that hate me?" I started to tear up.

"My dear child, it was not my choice. I had to protect you. No matter the cost."

"Are you... alive?" I asked cautiously.

She chuckled, "How else would I be delivering this message?"

I smiled, knowing that there is someone who cares about me.

"Now, I came here to tell you some important information. You are a supernatural being, a demon."

"A whatsica?!"

She chuckled again. "A demon, so am I. Your father is long gone, but he was a demon too. Now listen, your goal is to marry a human, if not, marry for love. That will guarantee that our race will live on."

"Wow, uh, that's a lot to take in. Sooo, when can I see you again?" I asked her. She smiled softly. "Soon."

I jerked awake, hitting my head on something. "Owwie!" I cried as I rubbed my forehead. I looked up, there was Francis, copying my actions. I giggled. I looked around and noticed I was in my new room.

"Oh, thank goodness you're okay!" He hugged me tightly, which surprised me,  but I didn't mind. I hugged him back. "Can I trust you?" I asked Francis. He made a confused face. "Of course you can! And I trust you completely!"

"Okay, then. Don't freak out when I tell you this. I- I'm a demon. I just found out a few minutes ago." I told him about the dream. He had an excited spark in his eyes. "That's sooo cool! Do you have like a unique form or something?" I shrugged and thought about it.

Suddenly, I started to shrink. I looked in the mirror, and in my place, was a black cat with red eyes. "Cool!" He said. I tried to agree, but what came out was, "Meow!"

He picked me up and started to stroke me. I purred as he scratched under my chin. "You're adorable!" I giggled, even if I couldn't in my cat form.

I turned back into my human form. "Thank you." I smiled.

"What for?" He tilted his head in confusion, which I found quite cute. I giggled.

"For everything, for accepting me, giving me a home, being my friend. Everything."

I kissed his cheek and went to sleep.

Francis' POV

She kissed me. Well it was my cheek but still!

I can feel the warmth from her kiss lingering on my cheek.

I got up from her bed and smiled softly. She's so beautiful. I kissed her forehead and left the room.

When I got to my room, I noticed that I had no paperwork for today. I took my clothes off and slipped on my striped pajamas.

I lay on my bed thinking, I'm in love with a demon.

Sorry its so short. I have school and this was an informational chapter. Now you know why she's so odd! See you next chapter!

Luv ya!

"Me too!"

Francis!
