Chapter 1: Deception Revealed

"Alex!...Alex!...Dad!...Hello!" Celeste yelled.

"What...what’s going on Celeste". "Why are you screaming". I replied.

"Um, well dad you were sleeping, I think". she said looking at me

puzzled.

"We can't sleep knuckle-head". "I must have been day-dreaming or

something". I answered.

She mumbled something that sounded like " sure looked like it to me" as

she left the room.

"I heard that young lady", I said as I walked after her, "What did you

need anyway".

"Well it's Mikaela's Birthday today and well if you want me to pick up

the gifts that we got her, your going to have to give me some money" she

stated.

"The money is up stairs in the safe where it's always at, I know you

know how to open it." I answered.

"Only take what you need" I yelled as she ran upstairs.
I turn to go into the living room and Mikaela is standing in the

entrance to room.

"Hey, beautiful, when did you get in" I said as I leaned in to kiss her.
She leaned away a little so I stopped.

"Um, What’s wrong, did you here us talk about the presents" I stated.
"No...um...what did you mean when you said you don’t sleep, I’m just

curious" she said with a puzzled look on her face.

"....I don't know, What you mean, dear" I stammered out.

"You know what I’m talking about, you and Celeste always say and do

things that are weird. We have been together long enough, you need to

tell me what’s going on." She blurted out.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you" I told her.

“Try me” She almost yelled out.

“Okay, but whatever I say, don’t get mad, It’s the truth, but it’s

difficult to believe” I warned her.

“Just tell me, please” She pleaded.

“Alright, Here Goes” I said.

I looked at her for a long time, trying to collect my thoughts, to try

to explain to her about what Celeste and I are. While looking at her, I

started to examine her looks. She was so beautiful to me. Standing at a

medium five foot, four inches tall. Her dark black, smooth hair, cut

just below her shoulders. She has amazing eyes, bright blue, almost like

she’s wearing contacts but her eye sight is fine. Her skin is tanned to

a golden brown.

“I’m waiting” Mikaela said interrupting my thoughts.
“Oh sorry, I was just admiring how beautiful you are, my love” I said

trying to stall.

“Thank You, Honey, but nice try, explain now” She said starting to get

aggravated.

“Um, well I don’t know where to start, I guess the obvious place to

start is well, I’m not human” Her mouth is wide open while I continued.

"I don't know if your ready to hear the rest. Do you think you are?"

I looked at her and she looked like she was going into shock but then

she spoke after a minute or so.

"For some reason, I believe you, I don't know why. Please continue your

story. Please." She said pleading with me.

"Okay, lets go site down and get Celeste in here." I said to

her."Celeste! could you come in here, please."

Celeste came down stairs and site down next to us on the couch.
"I know you know what we were talking about. So we both need to explain

to your mother about us. Oops, sorry, Mikaela about us." I stammered

out.

"It's okay pops, she's my mother as much as anyone is" Celeste stated.

"Thank you, baby girl, but don't stall this out any longer explain to me

what you guys are, if your not human. Mikaela said.

"Okay" Celeste and I said together.

“Mikaela, Celeste and I are, Well we are demons.” I explain to her.
“We are not evil or anything and we are not what religious groups

portray us as.” I continue.

“We have gifts beyond your understanding, powers if that's how you would

prefer to call them”

“Celeste is only half demon, her biological mother was human and I am of

course not”

“She doesn't have supernatural powers yet, but her strength and all of

her senses are heighten tremendously”. I finished for the moment.

"Mom, what are you thinking. Celeste whispered as she looked at me.
I shook my head to Celeste not wanting to have to read Mikaela's mind at

this time.

“I..Want to believe you, I swear I do but this is beyond me.” Mikaela

explained.

“Show me some of your powers Alex.” she ordered.

“I don't think that's necessary, hon...” I started to say before she

interrupted me.

“Do it!” she yelled.

“Okay, Okay, calm down. What Shall I do.” I asked.

“Throw me through that wall, Dad, It will be fun.” Celeste said while

she got up.

“Okay” I said.

I got off the couch and made Celeste stand in front of me.
“Like this” she said

“Yes and sorry about this but it was your idea. I said.

“Do it” she said.

With a wave of my hand Celeste went flying through the air, crashed in

to the living room wall and skidded to a stop on the other side of the

wall. She got a ran at full speed, which a blur to human eyes, and

stopped in front of Mikaela.

“Is that enough proof for ya. Celeste said to Mikaela.
“Wow, Incredible. Mikaela answered.

“Is there more, I mean can you do more.” Mikaela said.

“Yes I can pretty much do anything I wish.” I told her.

“Oh how about you Celeste, can you do what he can? She asked.

“Oh, no, no I can't do anything He can not yet anyway. Celeste answered.

“Whats that mean? Mikaela asked.

“Well mom I'm a half breed I'm lucky enough to inherit speed strength,

heighten senses but nothing supernatural like dad her. when I'm of age,

as dad puts it, he will make me full demon so i can be immortal like

him. Celeste answered.

“Wait your immortal, how old are you? Mikaela asked looking at me.
“Well I don't know really. I can remember when i was younger, my mother

before she died. other than that i don't know. my brother says I'm over

a 1000 years old but he tends to lie. I answered.

“Is Sam your brother? She questioned me.

“No, just best friends since we both can remember and before you ask he

is to a demon and my brother as well. I answered back.

“Can i meet your brother? She asked.

“Um, no that wouldn't be in your best interest. I stated.

“Why? She continued.

“Um, for us to survive we have to feed off of um, i shouldn't tell you

this, but we feed off humans.” I explained

“What like a vampire? She continued the questions

“Not exactly we extract your essence out of your blood, we indeed drink

your blood but it's not the same for us as it is with a vampire. I

answered

“I don't get it, If Celeste and you feed off humans why am i still

alive? She questioned

“I have what some demons say as super self control. I don't need to feed

off of human essence like the rest. I use my powers to extract the

essence without hurting my so called victims. They intern don't know I'm

doing it. They just get tired and go to sleep. no harm no foul. My

brother and his clan don't have this same control. They kill humans all

the time and Celeste doesn't use essence.” I explained

“Wow, have you ever feed on me?” She stayed still questioning me.

“No I would never. I find strangers or I use Celeste since she is half

human.”I said.

“It doesn't hurt all, sweetie. Mikaela asked Celeste.

“Na, can't even tell he does it and its good he does it on me since I

don't get drained like humans do.” She answered.

“This is a lot to take in guys. I think I need to relax up stairs for

awhile and wrap my head around this.” Mikaela said while looking down at

the ground.

“Sure, thing honey you need anything?” I asked her.

“No ill be fine just need time alone.” she answered.

“I love you.” I stated with all my heart.

“We both love you.” Celeste said correcting me.

“I know guys, that's why I'm not running out the door screaming right

now. Love you both. Talk to you both in the morning” she promised as she

got up and headed up stairs to bed.

“Okay, she took that well.” Celeste said to me quietly.

“Sam saw us telling her and is on his way here right now.” I told her.

“Damn it, You should told me he was coming earlier, I got to go fix my

hair and change clothes” she yelled as she ran up stairs.

“That's nice you found someone you like but watch your language, young

lady.” I warned her.

“Dad, I'm almost eighteen.” she answered already back from changing.

“Well, until you are, cool it.” I ordered her.
The doorbell rang and I stood up and went to the door to answer it

already knowing it was Sam. Celeste was on the couch slightly jumping up

and down on the seat.
“Calm down.” I whispered to her.
She gave me a dirty look as I opened the door.

“Hello, my old friend, It's been to long.” I said to Sam.
“No, time for greetings Alex, we have trouble.” Sam said as he rushed in

the door.
