Seventh entry: And the night's not half-over yet....

I forgot to write earlier. Oops? I didn't really have much to say, I guess, and I was tired. It's probably amazing I've kept myself so regular the past week, or however long it's been.

To recap last night, I emailed back and forth with an animal telepath (how cool is that? I am very jealous) about the cats and we both think maybe they were cat-demon hybrids, if there's such a thing. I got a bunch of information on Babylon from Val to tell Konnor, except when I got there I completely forgot about it. He asked about the ghosts, and I told him what happened. I still don't really know why. He's easy to talk to, I guess, and he didn't judge me for it... but, well, he's a demon. I suppose he wouldn't. Only then he asked me a couple questions, and things got weird. I'm still not sure what happened, there, either, but he wound up all shy and nervous before I left.

I spent the rest of the night getting to know a few more cats, looking for Dierdra some more (couldn't find her, but I wasn't quite so concerned last night, since school started today and I'm sure she was home sleeping, for that... I hope, anyway), and kind of half-heartedly looking for more cat bodies. Not doing much, but I got in right before dawn, so it was still kind of a long night.

(Tonight, though....)

Tonight was not even that "good", and it's barely half over. Last night was pretty much dull, except for Konnor and the weird, but tonight was the opposite of dull. I tried going hunting, and I fell off a roof and ran into Delilah. Not literally ran into, but.... I think I bothered her. I almost bit her, though she doesn't know that, poor thing. I feel horrible, I can't even control myself that much when I'm around someone alive and I'm hungry.

Jared would say I just need to feed more, but I'm trying to stay inconspicuous, and that's hard when you're leaving unconscious people lying around in a small town every night. Or worse, awake people who can immediately scream and run for help once you let them go. Though usually people are pretty relaxed when I let them go, it's still entirely possible.

So I made an idiot of myself with Delilah, walked her home so now I don't have to pretend I don't know where she lives, at least, and then went off to finish hunting. And that.... Oh, god, I don't even want to think about it. But at least I got some dinner, and I can think straight around living people again.

So then when I went back to Konnor's, because I said I would, his brother was there. His brother who likes being a demon, where Konnor doesn't like it. His brother who, by the way, is his twin, and a little bit intimidating. Konnor, I like. His brother, not so much. His name is Jace. Worse, was some of the things Konnor said about Jace when he went up to bed and left us alone. I've kind of got a bad feeling.

So now I'm back in my room at Arcadia. I emailed Buttahfly about the animal telepath's experience and our theory, and asked her about demons. I'm sure she won't respond until tomorrow sometime, but I hope she can tell me something.

Until then, I guess I should probably do laundry again. The roof-walking and roof-falling, and falling in the bushes, and hunting, and of course the cat fur... I could use some clean clothes.
