Demon Information

Information that goes with the Rose/Nocomi and Alex story. I would read this before reading Torture, so that things make more sense.

A demon's pregnancy lasts nine weeks, compared to a human's nine months, which means that a month's worth of development happens in seven days. As a result, the children are born "too small" by human standards. For the next two months after birth, the children go through a major growth period, until they reach the size of a two month old human infant. From there, they grow as a human would.

Demon children have to be hidden from the world until they are old enough to wear colored contacts, since their eyes are red. There are a few who are an exception, and they tend to have either their mother's hair and father's eyes or vice versa. These extremely rare exceptions have greater abilities than their parents, often more in knowledge and fighting, but are more often than not more wild than tame.

Once a demon child reaches somewhere between the ages of twelve and twenty they will freeze, or stop aging physically. When this happens, they will be pulled out of a human school and they will leave with their family. Whether they finish a high school degree online or not is up to their parents.

A female demon who mates with a human will only have human children. This prevents hybrids from being born, which can ultimately reveal the demons to the human population and would cause a war.

A male demon who mates with a human will have demon children. When this happens, a "human" doctor will perform the delivery, and the human mother will die during childbirth. While it is rare, the mother can Awaken within a few days.

Awakening is where a human who has died is brought back to life as a demon. This depends on their human life. What they did, who they were, how they acted, how they died.

Nocomi is a girl who was killed by someone she later meets in her demon life. Having been young, a slave, and unusual, she was brought back. She went out seeking the human she had been in love with, Alex, and was told that he had been killed by a "Client" the day after she had been killed at his house. She spent the first one hundred years after she had Awakened wandering between London and the New World, wondering why she had been brought back when she had nothing left. She then made it her life goal to find the thing that had killed her and get revenge. Her goal remains unreached to current day, when the story takes place.

Alex is a boy who was killed by a "Client" only a few days before his twentieth birthday, when he could quit. When he Awakened, he went searching for Nocomi. He thought she had come back with her red hair, but never found her. He wanted nothing more than to tell her how he had felt about her in his human life and moved to the New World in a vain attempt to run away from his human memories of her, believing that she had fully passed on and was not going to join him again.

Winter is a child who was born a demon. She's a very rare child, born with her mother's human hair and her father's human eyes. Her power in the beginning is mood-based, and the weather would change based on her mood. She was able to finish her highschool degree by lying about her height and saying she took after her father who, when she was signed up for school at the beginning, was "killed in a car accident in France before she moved here with her American cousins."

Nocomi started her senior year in highschool pregnant. The school was told that she was only a few weeks along, but she was nearing the end of her pregnancy with Winter. When she disappeared, hospital papers were forged saying that she had been "complaining of stomach pains" the night before Winter was born. When she went back and the papers were taken to the office, the school believed that, due to her not meeting anyone's eyes among many other things, she had miscarried her baby. It was a lie, but when Nocomi dropped out of school no one asked any questions. No one disagreed with her choice, thinking that she was leaving to grieve for her lost child when she was actually becoming a stay-at-home mom. She didn't need another diploma from highschool.
