* * *

Hank and Bob stared at each other, having some sort of silent conversation. Finally, the other one–not sure which, still–nodded his head in agreement with my plan…and off we went.

Stepping outside, I was reminded why I’d chosen this university in the first place. I felt like I’d stepped into an episode of Gilmore Girls, looking around at all of the gold, crimson, and burnt orange leaves dotting the trees. The sky was a perfect sunny blue, and there was a crisp feeling in the air that I couldn't help but savor.

Someone yelled from nearby, and I literally jumped. I rubbed an annoyed hand across my face. Get it together, Aurora.

At least it was becoming easier to call myself that in my head. I wondered, if there ever was a light at the end of this tunnel…if I might change my name again, something that could represent who I was after.

A really stupid thought.

Hank and Bob didn't say anything as we walked, and I was grateful that they were the strong, silent types. Their heads bounced around like ping-pong balls, looking for threats, but as far as I could see, there were coeds playing football on the lawn, milling around for brunch, or walking excitedly towards the stadium.

Jenna had already given me the rundown. Soccer was just as big of a sport as football at the school, or maybe just a little bit under that, because of course Cain was quarterback and Cain naturally made himself the head of everything. The soccer stadium was as big as the football one was though. I wasn't sure why they couldn't just share a stadium, but apparently that was frowned upon. I could hear the roar of the crowd as we approached, and I couldn't help but get a little bit excited as we got closer, despite everything. I spotted Jenna standing outside where they were taking tickets. As soon as she saw me, she started waving like a mad woman, and my answering smile felt like it could split my face in two.

I waved back happily, still weirded out by how strange it was to be doing something like waving at a friend now that my world had twisted on its axis.

"What's wrong?" were the first words out of her mouth once I finally got to her. Just then she noticed Hank and Bob towering behind me, and her eyes bugged out, staring back and forth between them.

"Apparently… You have a lot to catch me up on."

I felt it then, all the eyes on me. Obviously, news had spread like wildfire that the Demon had escaped, but this was my first time out in public since it had happened. I was used to stares. But this was on a whole other level. People looked even more terrified of me than they had before, like I was hiding the Demon in my back pocket, or I was scouting their faces for his next victim. This was going to get old fast.
