"y-yes" it was cold but it was harmless I watched as the teacher walked toward Darren with the cross in hand and Darren started looking uncomfortable "what are you doin-"

The priest pressed the cross against my neck, sending shocks of pain down my body, "Agh! stop! stop! you've proved your point!" I cried out, trying to get away. After a few terrible seconds, he let me go. I dropped to the ground, panting in pain and holding my neck. "Religious artifacts, or anything blessed by a priest, is like poison to him." My brother tells Selene. He grabs my wrist and pulls me to my feet, then he makes me move my hand, exposing the boiling flesh that is my neck. "He'll be fine in an hour." He says, letting go of me.

"oh my!" I ran over to Darren and hugged him "are you okay?" I stared at his brother "you didn't have to do that! You could've just explained!" I looked at the skin on Darren's neck "oh jeez..."

I hissed in pain and pulled away from Selene. My brother was laughing, "That's not the best part." He says, "That body isn't even his." He adds, getting closer to be with that damn cross. I hiss at him, exposing my claws and swatting at him to back off, "You're no brother! You're a traitor!" I growl at him in my natural, demonic voice.

I was stunned by the Darren who pushed me away but got back up when his brother threatened him with th cross. "don't hurt him!" I stood in front of Darren with my arms open and my knees bent a little. If Darren hurt me it would be fine, I was protecting him. As long as he didn't get hurt I was fine. Even if his brother hurt me, it'll be fine. But if he advances toward Darren it's my turn to make a move. I stared at the teacher "don't hurt him.. Please"

The priest laughed, "If he would follow me into the path of righteousness, I wouldn't hurt him like this!" I growled out "You're a fool for following that path! And you'll pay with your life!" He continued laughing, and he handed the cross to Selene, "If you don't want to be possessed, I would hold onto that." He says, smirking evilly. My neck was starting to feel a little better. I looked at Selene, then at my brother. The priest had a point. Selene should take the steps to make sure he stayed pure...

I through the cross across the room "I don't want your crap!" I held Darren's hand "I don't want to hurt Darren with your crappy so-Called righteous toys" I looked at Darren "feeling better?" I snapped my head back at the teacher in case he did something

The priest was just fetching the cross, glaring a little at Selene. I nodded a little, "Y-yeah... it'll be fine..." I said, my voice regaining it's humanness. I stood, shaky at first, but I kept on my feet. "You should take the cross..." I tell him, going to my brother and grabbing the religious artifact. It immediately started burning my hands, but I brought it back to Selene and I put it around his neck, "Keep it on..." I told him, rubbing my hands together, which were suffering the same punishment my neck had been going through. I looked back at Seth, my brother, and he went to Selene and did something to the necklace, making it small enough that it wouldn't be able to come off.

"no! I don't want it on!" I tried to pull it off with my hands but whatever chant Seth used on the necklace made it unbreakable. "shoot!" I got a scissor and tried to cut it. "I can't get near Darren now!" I walked Over to the teacher and looked him into the eyes, my eyes tearing "why did you do it..."

Seth opened his mouth, but I called out, "It's for your protection. We can still hang out, it's just, I can't touch you anymore. Seth blessed you." I explain. Seth frowns a little, "Little brother...." He mumbles, then he puts his hands on Selene's shoulders, "You'll thank me one day for this." He says, smiling. I sigh, "Let's go eat or something...." I say, snatching a scarf from Seth to hide my neck wound.
