The Daemon’s Eyes

MONDAY...

Sabrina's P.O.V

My weekend was a mess....

After that encounter with Logan, Jasper and even my father.... I'd never felt this empty. Did I have regrets of what happened that night?

I wasn't sure....

Jasper didn't call, Logan never showed up.

I was on my way to school alone when I watched Jasper approach the gates from far away, I wanted to apologize for that night. He must have been so confused.... "Wait up!... Jasper!", Brad waved from behind him, some distance behind Jasper gasping for breathe.

Wasn't sure why he was coming from that direction since we lived on the same street. Brad was a senior, I always saw him with Jasper.

I heard they'd been like brothers since birth.

Childhood friends....

Must be nice.

I almost wish, I could understand what was going on in his head..... Jasper...

"Brad..", he managed to smile back before shaking his head.

"I almost forgot my homework bruhh, you didn't wait for me.."

"Then who's make an excuse for you when you came late?", they both laughed and I found myself affixed to a spot, just watching. "Ughhh!", Brad groaned. "It's because my parents keep me up trying to convince me to go to my dad's university!"

"Sorry", Jasper slapped his shoulder.

"I've finally figured out what University I'd like to go to though", He had a satisfying grin on his face with both hands behind his head. "Which?"

"Olive Coast..... It's East of the capital around the sea".

"Ohh... I think I've heard about it", he cupped his chin.

"Have you decided yet?", Brad pauses beside him.

"Mhmm", he sighed before going on. "My dad is getting transfer to the Durindo, so I guess I'll go there"

"Damn!!", His eyes widened. "You're gonna school in the capital??!!.... It's full of spoilt rich kids!!"

He pulled his hands through his hair, "arghh!... I don't really have a choice..."

He slowly trailed off as his eyes moved to me off in a distance. "I'll see you later..."

As our eyes met for a second, my body started moving towards the gate again. I'd hope I didn't hear that well... Jasper was going to the capital?!

Brad watched him walk towards me with a questioning expression.

"Sab!", He waved.

"Ohh... Hey Jasper..", I felt awkward since Jasper never knew what happened that night. Should I tell him?... Or..

I unconsciously shook my head. How do you tell someone he got possessed by a spirit?

"Huh?"

Noticing the confused look on Jasper's face. "Sorry, I'm not feeling too well", I forced a smile before turning to the school's premises.

He stopped me by the wrist, "Are you avoiding me? You haven't been picking my calls!"

"You haven't called!", I met his eyes with a desperate tone.

"You left my place before I could wake up! I called all through Sunday, your line was busy"

I brought out my phone to check, no missed calls.... But it had been on airplane mode! OMG...

"I'm sorry....", I slapped my forehead, but he didn't look too happy.

By the time we got into the school hallway, we both went our separate ways.

Zoe wasn't in class today.... And time seemed to move slower than usual.

Going back home, I'd tried to leave before Jasper could walk me. I was still really embarrassed about thinking he didn't call when my phone had been on airplane mode. And Logan.... Don't tell me he stopped haunting me after having sex once?

'It's been two days since I saw Logan. I hope he's alright. It's already Monday night and the days seem to run slower without him '.

Falling face flat on my bed, I let out a depressing sigh. "That idiot.... Making me worry so much". The Azacarus was my only companion now, it was always like that...

I flipped to the next page. Logan had taught me how to read the language which was surprisingly easy!... He said it was Daemish, a Daemon language...some of it atleast.

It was like English but without vowels, so I literally had to imagine the vowel sounds to make out the words.

The chapter I was on now was titled, 'Body sharing'. It said two Daemons could both possess a dead body but at the expense of the soul of one.

'Who would want to do that?.... especially when you don't know where your soul is heading to '.

I flipped to the next chapter since I couldn't understand most of the words. Chapter 3 of the forbidden pages, 'Spirit Travel'. Logan had promised to help me with that. ' where was he?!'. I was starting to get more worried. Turning to the next chapter which read, 'Dream walking'. It said something about daemons being able to walk into people's dreams....

Although, I'd began to wonder why I'd never noticed Logan before that day in my room with his ball, Steve. Yes!.... he named it.

I smiled a bit before flipping to the next chapter, 'object transfer'. It said you could turn inanimate physical objects into spirits. Unconsciously stroking my chin, "so....that's how he got the ball.....and perfume..?". I looked at the book again, how did he get the Azacarus?'. The next few chapters were blank pages. The Azacarus usually had new chapters and words appear and disappear overtime.

Shutting the book, before keeping it away. I was determined to wait for him to come back. "He'll be back".

I shut my eyes for some minutes, all I could picture was going to see Logan... Then sleep found me.....

It was like I slept, then fell into the earth.....

The sky was dull orange... And I was at the window of a little cottage.

There were two figures discussing in the dark, one was the voice of a female... Another was Logan's.

Their words sounded like indistinctive whispers, so I couldn't make out any of it and decided to tiptoe a little closer.

They both noticed me before I disappeared.

"Who was that shadow?", Logan frowned.

"I don't know", Winry 's eyes narrowed. "They were watching us for quite a while"

"Is that why you switched to Drome?", He wondered. It was a language they'd both invented to communicate in public without others understanding.

She nodded slightly.

"Hmm", he cupped his chin. "I think I have to check on Sabrina"

Winry didn't stop him when he got up to leave. "Don't teach her too much...."

"I know". And he was off to the surface. He just had to consume some souls to regain energy. Killing Daemons in the underworld was prohibited, so he was going to meet Pride to help with that. She was really good at breaking the laws she made.
