Breaking Deluce Read Online Free PDF

after he drank the blood. He stared into the vial as his side ached. It was this or death. He threw his head back and drank the blood. “Blech!”
    He cringed. The blood tasted like wet baking soda but he knew he had to hurry—demon blood could heat the body up to deadly levels. He dropped his pants as he ran naked into the living room. Ripping open the small ice chest, he grabbed out the four bags of ice he had put in the fridge. He felt his heart begin to burn and he was already sweating everywhere as he flew back into the bathroom. He cranked on the coldest water and filled the tub with ice. He climbed in as the blood from his wound turned the water red as he passed out.
    Mona slept soundly as the sun crawled through her curtains and into her room. It slowly filled her room with light and crept up and across her body, almost as if it was tickling her. She wiggled and squirmed as the sunlight covered her body. By the time it reached her face, she was already opening her eyes. It blinded her as she sat up in her bed. She wiped her eyes and surveyed her room. Normally on a Saturday, she’d know exactly what to do, but today was different. She flopped back on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
    Mona hadn’t realized how long it had been since she had done nothing. Her entire life had been planned out since middle school, and now she was detouring from that plan to go on a date. She couldn’t believe herself. She was changing for a boy right before her own eyes and she wasn’t sure if she liked it. She grabbed her phone. She was about to call and cancel when memories of yesterday began to fill her head. A smile lit up her face and her heart beat a little bit faster. She dropped her cell down and headed for the shower.
    Mona reached into the shower and turned on the hot water. As it was heating, she glimpsed herself in the mirror. Something made her turn. There was something funny on her shoulder running up her neck. Pulling back her hair she looked closer. She had a long scratch that went almost to her ear. “Odd… must have been from those imps yesterday,” she said to herself.
    Keeping calm, Mona reached under her sink to grab hydrogen peroxide and a cotton ball. As she dabbed a bit of peroxide on the cotton ball and began cleaning out the scratch. Her curiosity got the best of her as she cleaned the wound. She wanted to know more about these imps. She finished cleaning her scratch quickly, turned off the shower, threw a towel on, and headed back to her room to research on her computer.
    Mona flipped her laptop open and tried running a search for “imp,” but the results only netted a wiki page and other sites about mythical creatures. Reading through the pages, she didn’t find much of anything that was useful, so she clicked back to the search page, thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to try something a little ridiculous—“real occurrences of imps.” The results were less than useless, so she tried “real imp attacks.” Skimming through the results, which were mostly video game references, she came across a website that was called Magical Maddy’s House of the Weird and Unexplained. “Monsters are real!” boasted the link. “Click here to find out more.”
    Mona scanned the page until she found something she liked—“real life monster sightings.” The page was full of newspaper clippings all detailing brutal killings, most of which were eventually linked to animal attacks or left unexplained. There were captions under the pictures of newspaper clippings. She read them as they were what the author thought, was really responsible and what proof they had. The horrible pictures were too much for her and she went back to the main page. Another link caught her eye—“Monsters we know exist and how to kill them.”
    Mona followed the link to a page that was filled with pictures of monsters. She looked through them all. Some monsters she recognized, like vampires, werewolves, and ghosts. Some she didn’t
