"No offense, but I don't consider you a demon. Your way to nice." Holden ran his hand through his hair. "You should of let her kill the fucking fool." He sighed. He pinched his nose, "It's not your fault Melody." He waved his free hand. "I'm the idiot that fucked with them in the first place." He sighed again. "I'm not saying that I'm not glad I met you..." He trailed off shaking his head. "Anyway, are you hungry Melody?" He looked at the girl. He sighed hearing Solomon speak but couldn't make out what he was saying. "Just a sec." He sighed as he walked to the kitchen. He peered in, "What were you saying Solomon?" He nearly falling over.

"Well that certainly was interesting." Alicia said walking down the rest of the stairs. "Welcome back Melody." She gave the girl a small hug. "And don't worry about Holden, he is just upset with a lot of things right now. Solomon and I are lying to him, he got fired this morning." She whispered so Holden wouldn't hear her.
