Mom and Dad came just after we finished lunch.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs McAllen!" Miory said as she hugged them as well as Gretarioth. They acted more like a couple. Well, that was good.

Droy and Callahan greeted them and my mom asked, "I am sorry dear... We were about to go pick up all of you but Rick got into an accident."

"It is alright, Mrs McAllen." Callahan said as he came back to my side. "We didn't have any problems."

"That's good to hear. Have you guys had your lunch? We had already prepared it, we just needed to cook the meat." My dad asked.

"Yes, we had. And it was tasty." Miory said.

"Andrew cooked the meat." Droy said and my mom and dad seemed to go into a thinking lane.

Andrew came down from upstairs as he put all the luggage to our rooms. "Andrew seems to be cooking a lot lately." My mom said to me.

"Maybe he is hungry?" I said.

"I am always hungry." Andrew said from behind us as we turned to look at him. Now that I thought about it, he had grown taller. He was my height a year ago but now, he was almost reaching Callahan.

"That's good to hear. A growing boy needs a lot of food." My dad nodded as Andrew rolled his eyes.

"Alright Darling! They need to take a rest." My mom said and looked at us with a wide smile. "Let's go to your rooms."

We all followed behind Andrew and I saw my luggage was at my room that was beside Andrew's room. Callahan's and Droy's luggage was placed in the room opposite mine. Miory and Gretarioth's room was just after Callahan. All of them were stunned and I included.

First, Droy was staying with Callahan and secondly, Miory was staying with Gretarioth. My lips twitched as they gave me a look. But because mom was there they didn't say anything as they went along.

"Alright. Our rooms are not that big but I hope you guys won't have any problems." Mom smiled and told all of us to take a good rest before she went down.

Andrew said, "Uh... If you guys need something, let me know."

Everyone nodded as Andrew went to his room.

Gretarioth hissed, "Why do I have to share my room with her?"

"Same goes for me!" Miory said with a sneer but Droy seemed to be happy as he got to stay with Callahan.

On the other hand, Callahan said, "I will be staying with Carson."

We all looked at him with wide eyes. "What?" I asked. "You do know that is not possible when my mom and dad are here."

"They wouldn't know if I sneak into your room, after all I am a devil." Callahan grinned.

"Then you go stay with Droy," Miory said to Gretarioth.

"Why would I do that?" Gretarioth sneered at her, "Why don't you go stay with Droy?"

"I am a lady! I am going to stay alone." She demanded.

"And I am your husband."

"That is just an act."

"Ah! Then I should just go call Mr and Mrs McAllen." Gretarioth grinned, "and tell them the truth."

Miory grinded her teeth in anger as she said, finally giving in, "Fine! Just take the couch."

"Err... Guys, there is no couch." I informed them and both of them stiffened.

Miory opened the door and saw, indeed, there was no couch. One bed, cupboard, a table and a chair, a large wall mirror and a bedside desk.

"I will take the bed." Gretarioth said, "You go, get a mat and sleep on the floor."

"Oh no! I am a lady and I am going to use the bed. Why don't you fly back to your house and return when the situation demands?"

"Why don't you do that instead?" Gretarioth asked and Miory froze. She didn't have a house.

Gretarioth smiled. "Ah! Well, let's share the bed, Wifey." He went into the room and opened the large window as Miory entered as well with a defeated face.

"Nobody loves me. No one wanna stay with me." Droy said with tear filled eyes--dramatic tear filled eyes and entered his room before closing the door.

All the while, Callahan and I were the audience and then the corridor got silent. Callahan looked down at me, "Shall we share our bed, sweetheart?"

My face burnt as I opened the door and entered my room, Callahan following behind me.

If mom and dad found out I would be dead!

"They won't find out." Callahan said as he started to take off his t-shirt, revealing his toned body underneath it. I gasped as I yelled, "Wha-why are you taking off your clothes? Go do it in the bathroom!"

"No. I need some air." He took it off and threw it at a side and flopped on bed taking almost every space of the bed. Okay! The bed was a single bed and my room was small. Smaller than the room of Miory and Gretarioth shared.

"Callahan... You may have to share Droy's bed because this bed is not for two." I pointed at the bed as he smiled, something was definitely brewing in his mind.

He sat up just to take my hand and pulled me into him as we both fell on the mattress together while I fell on the top of Callahan. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm sure you like sleeping snuggling with me since lately you have been doing that a lot."

"No! I don't!" I looked at him angrily. Well, I tried to look angry but with my uneven breathing it was impossible to glare at him. "I was just scared!"

"Then pretend to be scared again."

My heart pumped all the blood to my ears as I tried to pull myself out of his grip but his hands cupped my waist.

"Callahan!"

He rolled over as now he was on top of me and his eyes glinted devilishly. His eyes fell on my lips and my breath hitched as I recalled, he was saying something about his everyday kiss.

"Now that you mention, I did tell you about my everyday kiss." He smirked as my hands tried to push him away with futile attempts.

He leaned and took my lips as his warm breaths fell on my skin making me forget to retaliate.

Our lips moved in sync and I felt myself leeching on his warmth as it spread across my body. I knew if this continued, my love for him would only grow and maybe I would get hurt in the end but I didn't care as we deepened our kiss.

A moan escaped from the back of my throat as he slid his tongue inside my mouth. Why was he doing this? I thought it was just a kiss but it made my heart go wild and I wanted more.

"Callahan..." I called him in our kiss and suddenly he stiffened. His eyes opened and I saw it turned hollow immediately.

He sat up and grabbed his t-shirt, he wore it immediately and dashed toward the door. I followed him as to why he suddenly acted like this.

"What happened?" I asked but he didn't say anything.

Then my mind clicked. Maybe an enemy?!

As he exited, I followed him from behind and I saw, not only Callahan, but Miory, Droy and Gretarioth bore the same expression on their faces along with their hollowed eyes. Their bodies went rigid as they looked at Callahan. It seemed they talked with their eyes and decided to pursue the enemy.

My heart thumped loudly as a thick duvet of tension fell on us. Was the enemy that strong?

"What happened?" I asked in a low voice as Callahan ordered, "Guard her." His voice held an authoritative tone as if it could make anyone kneel before him.

Miory didn't question as she came behind me while Droy came before me, both of them guarding as their eyes were on Callahan. Gretarioth and Callahan started to advance toward a door with slow steps and when I looked before I saw, it was my brother's bedroom.

Wait! My brother's bedroom!

Uncountable thoughts ran in my head and those weren't good ones as I was about to run toward it but Droy caught my hand.

"There is a demon. Stay back!" Droy hissed in my ear as my hands and feet shook with fear. It was the first time I saw Droy with a serious expression. He would always appear with a playful personality which made me forget that he was a devil.

I looked at the door and saw Callahan and Gretarioth vanished, probably went into the room for a surprise attack while Miory and Droy opened the door.

I entered as well and saw all the four devils surrounding a little girl, who looked around Andrew's age. He had a white sleeveless plain dress which hung below her knees. Her face bore a pale expression and her hands held a red bag as if it was a shield to guard her. I thought she must be the culprit as the devils advanced toward her with deadly expression. Was she the one who might pounce on Andrew?

Was she the enemy? But as I watched her face she seemed...scared? Shocked?

Well, I had expected to see some bulky enemies and she seemed to pour water on them. But a devil is a devil. We can never know by their human-ly looks. She might be hiding her true power!

I recalled Andrew didn't know that they were devils so I looked at their eyes and they didn't care to turn them back!

Now panic rushed through me as he would surely learn that now and would freak out!

Then my eyes moved at Andrew who sat on his gaming chair with a calm face, chewing on his 'uncle's' potato chips...

My brows are knitted on my forehead. He was eating potato chips in this situation!?

"Why are you all here?" Andrew asked as Callahan asked, "Who is she?"

Callahan didn't seem to be surprised at his obliviousness.

"Just someone..." Andrew looked at the girl with displeased eyes as her shoulders tensed. She seemed confused.

"You didn't tell me you already have the strongest devils?!" She asked Andrew who was just munching on chips and he portrayed his irritated face.

"And why would I say that to you?" He said with a calm yet rude voice and the girl seemed to be displaying a hurt as her lips quivered but she held herself back.

"Err... What is happening?" I asked.

"She is a devil." Gretarioth said, "A low class though." Gretarioth's way of saying her a low class devil made her a little agitated as she looked at him with an angry face.

"I am not a low class devil!" She shouted, "I am just cultivating my powers!"

"Ho! So you are here to cultivate?" Miory said with a wicked grin as she stepped back warily. She seems like a little bunny surrounded by wolves and I couldn't help but feel a bit pity.

"Yes! I am here to seduce Andrew McAllen!" The girl announced with a high voice, "And take his soul so I get stronger...?" Although she said that, there was no confidence in her voice and her feet were shaking while she clutched the bag tightly toward her chest. Her eyes frantically moved around on the four devils who were sneering at her.

"You what?" Callahan asked, his voice turning hoarse which made the girl pounce on Andrew--or, run toward him? She seemed like she was just too scared to face all of them.

"Where do you think you are going?" Droy hissed as he caught the girl in his strong arms, "pouncing on your prey wouldn't make you powerful, you low class succubus."

The girl struggled as she shouted, "Let me go to him!"

"So you can seduce him?" Droy asked.

"Make no mistake," Andrew said, taking all of our attention toward him as his cold eyes looked down at the girl as he came near. For some reason, it felt like he was very offended. His eyes looked so deadly that for a moment I forgot that he was my brother. She looked at him with a pair of hopeful eyes but as Andrew hissed on her face, she froze, "It would take you a hundred years to seduce me, Avaloth."

She halted as her face went blank. She didn't struggle anymore as if all of her hope broke into pieces. Her eyes went round and a mix feelings of betrayal and hurt showed on her face as tears started to drop from her eyes and Callahan, Droy, Gretarioth, Miory and I gaped between Andrew and that girl.

"So, you were playing with me..." She almost whispered which made Andrew clench his jaw.

"All this time, you were lying to me...Humans are liars!" She said as she sniffed, "You are the worst!" And then she threw the bag on Andrew's face and vanished immediately.

It was a moment of silence as soon as she disappeared. And it took quite a while to register what just happened and Andrew stood there with a clenched jaw and clenched fists as she threw the bag toward the wall. His anger was sipping out of his skin.

We didn't say anything as he sat on the chair, burying his face in his hands.

"You knew she was a Devil?" Callahan asked after a while when we felt he calmed down.

"I know all of you are Devils."

A gap formed on my face. What?!

"When did you know that?" I asked.

"That day when we celebrated the fake birthday." He said and we all went stiff.

Droy asked, "Oh! Why didn't you reveal it then?"

"I was just playing it along." He mumbled and looked up. Now his face was back to normal like before with a lazy look.

"And thanks for the game." He turned around his chair toward his three sets of desktop, "I have finished them already. I got the ticket too. Maybe we can go watch it together, Gretarioth."

He said Gretarioth's name and we all were shocked. We had never mentioned Gretarioth's name. It was always Miory's husband, Mr Thompson.

"How did you know my name?" Gretarioth asked as his eyes narrowed to the slit.

"I heard your conversation."

Ah! Well, we were talking in the corridor but I thought Callahan had made it silent for others.

"But how did you know that we were devils?" Miory asked what I wanted to ask but I was still going through a shock.

He turned his chair and with a bored look on his face, he said, "Because I can see all of your devil forms."
