The Daemon’s Eyes
CHAPTER 18

********

Sabrina's P.O.V

"Where the hell have you been?! it's been a week!!?", I frowned holding back the urge to gag him.

"Missed me?!" He teased me with a light smile and I felt like something was wrong.

It took me a few seconds to regain my composure," of course not!", My eyes gradually moved from him to the Azacarus under my pillow, 'so... he shows up the day after Jasper goes back home... typical'.

"I'm not even sure I wanna know where you've been...let's just get back to business..", I just said that because I wasn't sure he was going to tell me what the problem was, and I didn't like butt-ing into peoples' businesses.

I was still lost in thought when I felt a sight chill on my palm. Unaware that Logan had closed the gap between us. "I'm not a good person, Sabrina".

I looked up to his eyes and couldn't really explain the expression I'd seen. Instead, I dodged replying by continuously flipping through the pages of the book. "I missed you....

I felt him smile even though my eyes weren't on him, "you too, little mouse"

"Today I'll like to teach you about spirit traveling, it's on the second to last chapter..".

My jaws dropped slightly as I met his serious look. Logan wanted to actually teach me something from the forbidden pages?!

"Awwn Logan...", I smiled, "I could hug you now...but what made you change your mind?".

He ignored the question.

SOME MOMENTS LATER...

"Logan!!...this is sooo hard", I whined. "I can barely even feel my legs". He made me sit with my legs crossed for a while. "Just close your eyes and imagine a hokum of darkness"

"Imagine..."

"Now focus on that darkness till your thoughts are empty, then visualize yourself leaving your body"

"Visualize...", I took a deep breathe. Darkness...... "Sh*t!"

"What?!"

"Leg cramp!", I rolled on the floor for a bit.

"Well...I can help you stand", he stretched his hand out to me, "give me your body".

My eyes widened a bit, "Jeez! Don't say it like that stupid".

"Yes or no"

"Remember it's just to my bed!?"

He gave a wicked smile before jumping into me.

Getting up, he walks to the bed and lies down, "Sabrina, is your door locked?"

"Yeah... why?"

He paused for a bit. "What do you think I am?"

"Hmm.... You're Logan I guess. Nothing more, nothing less".

"Do you think you have feelings for me?"

"....", I felt my mouth open but the words couldn't come. "You're my friend"

"Do you think I had sex with you because I have feelings for you? If that's what you think, you should just forget about it. That was just a mistake, nothing more"

I gulped feeling a slight pain in my chest.

"Why are you telling me all this? Did something happen?"

He paused for a bit.

A bit too long.....

"I'm in love with someone else, that was an accident"

I felt my heart shatter a bit. "So... you had sex with me by accident? You disvirgined me by accident while always making gestures that you had feelings for me?" "It's my curse, I couldn't help myself"

It was Asif he didn't know his words pierced my heart. "I'm not in the mood for this Logan. And I was so happy you'd come back", my fists tightened. "Leave me" He left my body and stood beside the bed where I laid for a while. "I don't know what happened to you this last week, if you want to talk about it.... I'm here"

Asif hesitating, he looked to me. His face looked pale before finally walking to his usual corner at the edge of the room.

I called out, "Logan!!"

He didn't stop and I found myself jumping to a sitting position. "I care about you, okay!?".

He paused.

"I know it's hard being a spirit, and what happened between us..... I don't know how to explain it". Couldn't help but pull my fingers through my hair. "I'd like us to start over, no deep feelings attached, I just want us to be friends!", unconsciously gripping the sheets beside me.

"I know it's not easy being a spirit".

He continued walking, "you don't know a thing".

I ran to try and grab him, my fingers passed through and I hit my head on the wall. "Owwie!". I rubbed my head before looking at the wall.

My fist tightened at my chest and a few tear drops escaped my eyelids. "Don't be so mean, stupid".

Jasper's P.O.V

I'd been staring at my phone for a while now.... Why?

"Hmmph", I unconsciously sighed still refreshing my messages. "9:47". Sabrina hadn't called or texted me all day! She hadn't even replied my messages and I didn't want to bother her by double texting.

I rolled to lie on my back, dragging my palm through my face. "Maybe I should call her?"

Didn't think too much before dialing her line, the line was busy....

"Hmmph...", who could be calling my girl? Her friends?

Not sure she has much of those, I've not really seen her talk or hang out with anyone apart from me. Maybe I should introduce her to my friends?

"Earth to Jasper!?", Brad's sister waved an arm over my face startling me a bit.

I jumped up to see her perplexed expression, "you keep looking at your phone and sighing. Brad wanted to play the next round with you"

Emily Wentworth, a fifteen year old brunette. She wasn't in the same school as me and Brad, but they came over as often as I sneezed. She was somewhat pretty but no where near Sabrina. "Sab?", I heard a voice like she'd been reading my thoughts.

My eyes shot at Emily who was staring at my phone at one edge of the bed. "Is that your girlfriend?. She teased.

I literally dived at the bed to get the phone, "yes".

"Could I see her picture? I know what Zoe looked like"

"She's nothing like that", my voice was a bit sharper than I thought.

Emily threw her arms up in the air, "Scary..."

"Sorry", I managed a smile before walking towards the door.

"I'm gonna whoop both yo' asses".

She chuckled. "Big talk for the guy who lost seventy-eight times last week"

"I don't know how you remember those figures!"

We both laughed and I found myself at easy. Brad and Emily were like family to me...

No, they were my family.
