Since the incident in the boys bathroom, Jess never talked about it again. Like she just forgot about it. Sometimes I even ask her about it and she just have a blank. She didn't even know how she got there or why he was there.

It was as if she had amnesia. It was weird, I thought at first she was trying to make me fall in her prank or something, but... She was serious about the fact she knew nothing.

About Cameron inviting me to eat at his house, I accepted of course. In fact he was going to pick me up at the corner of this road in about 5 minutes.

I was so excited it was impossible. For two days now, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Even in my dreams he was there.

Maybe I was getting too excited? He only invited me to his house to eat and to talk about our 'relationship'.

I blushed just as I thought of the time I kissed him. I hid my face into my hand and wanted to shout.

But then someone honked and made me jump and nearly screaming like a girl. I want to put emphasis in the nearly.

I looked at the person in the car and I smiled without thinking.

'Hey Matt, come in!' he greeted and he made a movement with his head.

'Hello Cameron! Thanks for picking me up.' I thanked joyfully as I take the seat next to him.

'You're welcome. I'm glad you accepted my invitation.' he said as he drove.

'It was nothing... And I also wanted to see you.' I mumbled rapidly and incoherently.

'Same, I also wanted to see you.' he answered to my surprise. How could he have understood what I said when I didn't even myself?

Then he turned his head and smiled at me as if he knew what I was thinking about before looking back on the road.

'You're weird.' I said out of blue.

'You're unique and beautiful.' he complimented me.

I blushed and looked toward the window.

'And cute when you blush.' he added as I heard his chuckle.

'Thanks I guess.' I mumbled into my hand.

'My pleasure. I'll say it each time we see each other if I need to.'

Before I could answer, my phone rang. I looked at it and it was an unknown member. I thought of ignoring it, but... What if it was something important? Okay, I wasn't taking risks.

'Sorry Cameron, may I?' I asked as I pointed my phone.

For a moment, his eyes became bright yellow, but a second later, it was back to normal. Maybe I was dreaming or it was the reflection of the light or something. However his face had darkened and he nodded. I mouthed a thanks and took it.

'Hey Matt, remember me?' A familiar spoke on the other side of the call.

'Depends on who you're.'

'How cold! I'm Andrew! You know the guy who was with you and your sister at the cafeteria?' he said faking of being hurt by my statement.

'I was joking Andrew. And by the way how did you know my number?' I asked not remembering giving it to him.

'Jess gave it to me. Anyways I was thinking, maybe we could hang out today? The three of us?' he asked.

'Today? I'm sorry I can't. I already have plans planned all day already. Maybe another day?' I looked at Cameron, his face didn't betray him, but his white knuckles on the wheel.

'Mmm, tomorrow I can't... Next Saturday?' he asked after thinking for a bit.

'Yeah sure. Let's talk over it Monday.'

'Okay. I won't disturb you any longer, have a good day with your date.'

I frowned at that. How did he know? 'Yeah, bye.' I ended the call and frowned.

'Are you okay?' he asked a bit hostile.

'Yeah, it was just a...' what do I say, I only met Andrew once, so he wasn't really a friend yet, but a soon to be. A soon-to-be-my-friend? '... A friend of my sister and he wanted all three of us to go out.' I explained everything and I didn't know even why.

'I see.' that's a all he said and we were in a more or less comfortable silence. 'Can I come with you?' Cameron asked after a while.

'I don't know if it's a good idea... I'll think about it okay?'

He nodded and the car stopped. I looked around and there was no house to be seen.

'Ummm, Cameron? Are we lost?' I asked.

'No, don't worry Matt. We will have to walk a big to access to my house.' he explained with a smile as he got out of the car.

I did the same and followed him into the wood. For a reason, this forest was scary. It seemed like there was someone watching us.

'Hey, Came...' my voice died. He wasn't here anymore! I lost him?! I looked around hoping I would catch a glimpse of him, but nothing. I thought of shouting, but it wasn't a good idea. Who knew what creatures lived in here?

I tried to calm my beating heart. Relax. Matt, relax. What do I do? Do I try to walk out? Do I stay here? Do I try to find him? Think Matt think!

Then I heard a voice. It was calling my name. Curious, I followed it. The voice was familiar yet unknown. It guided my deeper and deeper in the forest. More I followed it more I could define what it was saying.

'Matt, come. I'm here. Come...'

Then I saw a huge rock with something on it. I got closer to see and what I saw shocked me. It was Cameron! But he... He looked different yet alike. Before I could move closer to help him, a rock came out of the ground and something was written on it.

It was written in Latin or something, but somehow I could read it.

'You're warned, if you free this Daemon, you'll have to pay the price with your life essence.

Half-way up the hill, I see thee at last
Lying beneath me with thy sounds and sights —
A city in the twilight, dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights.'
