Chapter 10: Poisoning

Michael tried not to run on his way to his car. He hoped Miriam would know he had left school and meet him at home. She had said that he was like a beacon for her, so he couldn’t imagine she would have any trouble finding him wherever he went. He wondered if she had noticed that he had spent time in the principal’s office.

As soon as he got in his car and started the engine, he quickly sent a message to Riley asking if she could take his sister home, explaining that he was going home sick. He would have asked Grayson instead, since it was less out of his way, but he still wasn’t sure why Amelia had gotten mad at him yesterday and he didn’t want to put her in an uncomfortable situation.

He then drove home in silence, wondering how to explain all this to Miriam. What if they already know? He wondered, regarding the authorities. What if they’ve already seen a demon on camera? He doubted that kind of information would be allowed to become public knowledge, not to mention that most people would probably think it was a hoax.

Considering what computers could do nowadays, no one would believe even the wildest miracles on camera, because the same things could just as easily be recreated on a computer. Movies seemed so real now that even a security officer watching a live security feed might think it was a hoax – that someone had hacked the system and was showing modified footage.

When he got to his dad’s house, he immediately rushed inside, planning to open the window in his bedroom. Thus, he was startled when he opened the front door to find Miriam already standing in his living room, waiting patiently. He quickly closed the door behind him.

“Miriam, we have a problem.”

“What is it?” She asked concerned.

Michael immediately realized that her question meant she hadn’t already heard. She hadn’t heard him whisper to her in his first class, nor had she heard what happened in the office. He wasn’t sure why he was so surprised. She had great hearing, but clearly it had at least some limitations. He also didn’t know how far away she had been from the school. Surely, she probably wouldn’t have heard if she was like a mile away – that would be a little unbelievable even for a supernatural creature like her.

He quickly tried to explain what he thought was the most pressing issue. “The cameras. They can see you – the human illusion you create doesn’t work on them.”

She twisted her head slightly in confusion. “Can you show me?”

He rapidly pulled out his phone. “Okay, make yourself look human.” He then took a picture, confirming that she had brown hair and brown eyes in the image, as well as no horns or wings. “Now, look at this and tell me what you see. I see you as human right now in this picture.”

Miriam looked at the screen, her eyes widening immediately.
