bodies, then aren’t they technically part human?  I get hunting, but I don’t think I can kill anyone.  I don’t think I have it in me to fight your war.”
                  “Men are sent across the world to fight men with the exact same humanity as them, yet they are conditioned to kill those men because of their loyalty to their geographical location.  Don’t worry about learning how to fight.  I’ll teach you how to kill them.  Hopefully, they don’t teach you first.”  Geez, he was all man!  Yeah, he was coated in more mascara than me, but he was totally manly and though I think my feelings were still rooted strongly within me, I totally believed that he could have conditioned me to suck it up and fight.  I’m not gonna lie.  It was pretty hot.
                  I was kind of flustered, but I figured it was the demon playing mind games again.  “Is there anything else I should know before I go home?”
                  “Yeah.”  He looked a little surprised.  I guess he thought we had so much more to talk about.  We did, but I needed to get away from him and clear my head from all of the forced emotions and sort out what was real and if I could trust him.  “Rule number four: it’s important to keep good company.  If all your friends are drunken whores or just trouble makers in general, then it’s probably best to stay away from them.”
                  My old friends were generally good people, but they stabbed me in the back and once were far too many times.  “I don’t have any friends anymore.”
                  “The rule applies to family too, if you can help it.”
                  I didn’t want to tell him about my super lust charged parents.  I was so embarrassed about it.  I couldn’t even confront them.  I certainly wasn’t going to blurt it to a guy who still felt like my enemy.  “What about my parents?  Should I tell them?”
                  “Are they believers?”
                  “No.”
                  “Then absolutely not.  You don’t want them to have you committed and don’t think for a second that they won’t.”  As sad as it was, I knew he was right.
                  “You want me to lie to them?”  That seemed awfully contradictory to the “no sin” policy.  Besides, it just wasn’t my style.
                  “I want you not to talk about it.  I know this must sound like the most terrible thing in the world, but I’m the only one right now that can be here for you.  We’ll try to find some other righteous citizens, but right now it’s just the two of us against the whole world.”  I didn’t feel so bad about feeling so irritated that it was only us involved in the battle of good versus evil.
                  “You’ve been going at this alone this whole time?” I asked.
                  “I don’t have a choice.”
                  I did feel bad for him, so I offered a pity smile.  “I guess you’re glad to have found me, huh?”
                  “No.  I wouldn’t wish this life on anyone.”  I didn’t know if I should let the demon’s irritation of him prevail.  He was trying to be sweet in his own way, but he really did sound like a jerk.  “Go home.  Read a bible.”
                  “Don’t have one.”
                  “There’s an App for that.  Download it.  Read it online.  Don’t be difficult.”
                  I really didn’t want to change my whole entire life and I don’t think it was all the demon.  Julian wasn’t the type of person I would be hanging around in normal circumstances.  It was only unreasonable that I hated him to the point where I could barely tolerate him—not that I disliked him.  However, I could suck it up.  “I will try to do this right, but I’m not
