Tears of Blood

Chapter I

I still can't believe it. Not really anyway. It all happened so fast. My best, and only, friend turned out to be my worst enemy. Or so it appeared. Oh and by the way, my names Sabrina.

I thought I was just another ordinary girl. Until that one day when I met the one person who would change my life forever. Not really in a physical sense per say, more of a…a mental…emotional way. The day I met Iasus. The day when I discovered that I was distended to great things, the like of which could either be constructive or…destructive ironically enough. Kinda like that whole good or evil think, ya know?

It started out just like any other day. You know, same old, same old. You wake up, you eat some sort of microwave breakfast, you go to school where upon your teachers act like such total bitches and bastards you just want to smack em upside the head, just to prove that you are truly bitter and they are so not. Well anyway, so after this, and the three-hour detention I earned myself by throwing my Trigonometry book at the professor, I started out of school.

Unfortunately for me, Mistress Luck did not walk with me on this particular day. And what a day it was.

I was just minding my own business, just two blocks from the Catholic Church where my dad is Bishop. When I met him. And believe me, this is not my favorite way to meet new people…er…demons.

"Your life sucks." A voice whispered in my ear. (Lovely way to say hello, don't you think?)

I snorted in laughter.

"Yeah. You didn't have to tell me that." I never was one to catch on to weird or unusual things, but then, I had never encountered a demon before either. And this particular demon was very…odd looking…for a demon that is.

"Your life is boring and you do nothing to make it otherwise." He continued. "Watching you has been such a dull activity."

When I finally did catch on I immediately turned to face this unusual stranger.

"Devil-Spawn!" I snapped. "Leave me alone. Who-who are you anyway?" I demanded.

He just laughed. He laughed at me!

"You may call me Iasus." He responded.

"Huh?" I asked thickly. "Did you just say your name is 'I'm a Zuse?"

He blinked a few times apparently thinking.

"What? No. Not, 'I'm a Zuse.' Iasus."

"Oh…Okay." I said nervously. "So…are you some sort of Satan Worshiper or something?" I asked rudely.

Iasus snickered again.

"You could say that." He said. "Although I am above most Demonic Religion."

"Whaddya mean?" I asked, feeling rather stupid by this point.

He eyed me coldly with those bright burning blood red eyes.

"Hey!" I exclaimed excitedly. "Are you a vampire?"

Iasus waited a minute, letting my comment sink in. Well it was more of a question but oh well.

"No." he replied softly. "No, I am not a vampire."

I was thoroughly confused by this point. Aside from feeling rather retarded I had to me confused too didn't I?

"Then what are you?" I urged.

He made I contact with me only for a moment. For which I was very grateful. Those eyes were totally creeping me out!

"I'm a demon." He said so simply that I couldn't help but believe him.

Mistress: R&R!
