The libary was quiet, it was a friday night and most people were out trying to get into the local club. Bella never really felt the need to go to the club unless she needed to forget or needed something to make this life worth a litle bit more. However, a glance up at the cloc told her that the majority of those who had gone to the club tonight would have been kiced out for tryingto get in whilst underage. Bella usually got in, she looked eighteen, but she also held her sisters fake ID and as the looked almost identicle, no stranger would see the obvious differences such as eye colour and the like. She had decided that since the school was so quiet she would stay out of the limelight. That meant she would retreat into the library, it had become something of a refuge for her these days. Nobody ever came looking for her here.

The book that was open in front of her was titled 'The Demon Mythology' It dealt with every myth that was to do with demons in one wa or another. Many of the myths within the tet made her scoff however there were some that were intriguing enough to make her feel the need to delve even deeper into them. As much as she liked hearing about demons and their myths, she hatedany of that type of thing happening to her and would fight it with all the strength in her body. Even her powers - as cool as they were - were something she only used when she had no other choice or when she lost control.

Because Bella fought her demon side, her personality was much more human than many other demons and there were many people within this school who classed her as a human, until they knew better. To be honest, Bella did not fit the criteria for a demon, she tried not to be cruel, she tried o retain the human aspects of her life. In fact, Bella would prefer to be human than to be a demon, but this was a disease that had no cure. Maybe it was because she had had this life forced upon her, maybe it was because sebastian had betrayed her. Either way she could never give in to this, she was constantly at wars with herself. The most frightening bit about this all was that when she lost control of her emotions she would explode and all the demonicness she had been restraining would come out fully fledged. Bella had the possbilities for great power, if she ever chose to use it.

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name

The library...Alice was not a fan. She had been around since the dawn of time. It wasn't like she needed to look something up. She was quite intelligent...when she wanted to be. No, she wasn't here for studying. She was here to exchange favors. The curvy brunette readjusted her top and brushed a wisp of hair from her face. The geeky human beside her had a look of pure bliss on his face. She couldn't blame him. If she had just had sex with a woman like her, she might have the same.

Alice wasn't keen on the idea of making it with the nerd. But he wrote her last term paper for her. She could have done it herself. Though that would have meant skipping the club for a weekend to write the damn thing. It was a small price to pay for getting an A on it. "Yeah, um thank for the paper hun", she spoke before leaving the back room. She didn't bother looking back. The kid had done his job and she paid him appropriately...even if it only lasted less than 10 minutes. She had been left less than satisfied. She would give one of her lovely lads a call later to take the 'edge' off. Perhaps Luka or Jax were free for the evening?

She was about to leave when she noticed a familiar face sitting alone reading. She didn't know the name, but she had seen the girl around. She was a demon and a fairly new one. Alice made it her business to know everything about everyone. Alice pranced over to the girl. Her keen eyes looked over her shoulder at the text below. "Demons you say?," she giggled slightly.

Alice was a demon expert. Once one of the heavenly choir during the creation of all things. She lost her wings for giving away her heart. Hundreds of years spent in the 'pit' made you aware of all things demonic. She was also Jax's guide, when the horn-dog removed his own wings. "Studying up?" She questioned the girl and sat down across from her. Her movements were confident. She rested her chin on the palm of her hand relaxed eyeing the girl. "I'm Alice."

She hadn't noticed the couple in the library although anyone would have thought that it would have been one of the first things she would have noticed. Bella did not care what ther people were doing around her, in fact she rarely cared what she was doing as long as it was something that would not make her emotions run haywire on her. In other words, as long as it was something that would keep her - and thus all those around her - safe.

Suddenly though, a voice from behind her alerted her to another presence and she snapped the heavy book shut and twisted her head so that she could see the brunette girl. There was no denying this girl was a demon, she carried that very aura around her and had a confidence that radiated through her. However, Bella also noticed that sadism in her eyes that was trademark to almost all demons, despite how they may try to hide or conceal this emotion. It was something that happened either on their 'birth' or when they were changed, when something inside them was tweaked just a little to make them enjoy the pain that often happened around them. Eventually that meant that the demons would find some more sadistic essence in the air.

"Uh, hi ... i'm Bella." She looked slightly nervous as she gavea slight smile. One could not help but admit this girl was intimidating.

You always wanna be around me
So you know what it's like
When the world is at your feet
And you're VIP tonight

The girl seemed quite timid. It was strange for a demon. Most were out going by nature...at least she and Jax were. They had to be in the limelight. Alice even more than her studly prodigy. This must have meant that the girl was very new to the demonic game. The wheels in Alice's head began to turn. She hadn't corrupted anyone in a long time. This gril might prove to be an interesting play thing. Anything to entertain the demon that had been around since creation.

"Uh, hi ... i'm Bella."

She was indeed shy around the sultry brunette. Alice thought is was cute in a pretty pathetic way. Most were around her. She had an air of power and arrogance to her. It made her less approachable, unless she was using her gifts to ease tension. She thought that was a good idea and increased more soothing pheromones in the atmosphere. Depending on Bella's resolve and willpower, she would start to relax in Alice's presence. "Pleasure to meet you Bella", her soft angelic voice cooed. Many aspects of her former heavenly glory remained. Her looks, her voice and movements were all angelic. Her mind and very soul was the corrupted aspects of her time in the fires of Hell.

"There's no need to be so shy. I'm very friendly." She said with a warmer smile. She glanced down at the page of the book Bella was reading. She read the words carefully upside down. Alice was intelligent. Living forever, she did pick up vast tomes of knowledge along the way. "Why looking up information on your own kind?" Alice was intrigued by the quiet girl. She had sparked an interest and Alice wanted to see where it would lead her. She was always traveling from the next new experience to another. She hoped this one would open up to her, so she could explore it more.
