Chapter 4 [Part 1]

Tegan's pov

A second later, I was stood in a huge living room where there were two huge black sofas in the middle of the room facing a white wardrobe that filled the entire wall it was in front of, almost like it was part of the wall. I looked at Cole in my arms, his blue eyes only gazed into my hazel brown ones.

"That's the TV," Diago told me proudly as my attention went back to the white wardrobe. Diago picked up a remote control and pressed the power button, the white wardrobe's doors opened instantly to reveal the biggest TV screen I had ever seen, it was like the ones in a cinema but smaller.

"Wow that's huge," I said in awe.

"I know, cool huh?" Diago asked.

"Yes it is, so are you going to show me around then?"

"Um yes of course, I'll take you to your room first," Diago was still carrying my luggage as he walked me through the house. Each room we went through was huge, this must be a mansion but it can't be as there are only 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room and another room. I wonder what Cole does for a living to afford such a nice house, I was about to ask but got distracted once we came up to one room that had a piece of paper stuck to it saying 'Don't enter'.

"What's in there?" I asked curiously as I eyed the notice.

"Cole won't let anyone in there, it's always locked," Diago told me with his attention diverted in the distance as if he was remembering something. I will have to try and get into that room some time as I'm curious to know what's in there.

"This place is huge, is Cole rich?"

"Yes he is and now, so are you,"

"Wow! What does he do for a living?" I asked curiously.

"He has his own advice bureau," Diago replied hesitantly, he must be lying.

"Cole's a legal advisor?"

"Yes for supernatural beings as well as humans and he's one of the best," Diago told me with great pride. I felt pride enter my heart too for the husband I hardly knew. Diago and Cole must be really close if Diago is speaking so fondly of his friend.

Only a few seconds later, we reached a bedroom which had a King sized bed in the centre. There was another door, I opened it and the inside contained men's clothing hanging on clothes hangers and shoes on shelves, I realised it was Cole's wardrobe before Diago deciding to tell me so.

"That's Cole's wardrobe and this is yours," Diago said as he opened a door beside him after putting my luggage down. It was another walk in wardrobe just like Cole's but it was empty.

"Hey Diago? Can you hold Cole while I unpack?" I asked.

"Yes of course," Diago agreed and held his arms out for Cole but Cole started squirming, it didn't look like he wanted to go to Diago.

"Come on Cole, it's only for a little while. Tegan needs to unpack and then I'll leave, you'll have her all to yourself," Diago encouraged the small Demon. Cole immediately stopped squirming and let Diago hold him before I took my suitcase into the empty walk in wardrobe without another word as Cole settled into his friend's arms. I began to hang clothes up and placed my shoes on the racks.

When I was done, there was still plenty of space left so I decided to place my other things there like personal items, accessories, toiletries etc among other things after which I stepped out of the wardrobe and back into the bedroom where Cole was still in Diago's arms, he didn't look too happy. There was a little frown on his face but it was adorable and as soon as Cole saw me, he began to cry. I rushed towards them and took Cole into my arms where Cole immediately stopped crying. I didn't expect him to be so whiney.

"Well I've shown you around but I have to go now. There is food in the kitchen for you and Cole including blood. If you need help or anything then here's my number," Diago said before pulling out a piece of paper with a mobile number on from his shirt pocket.

"Thanks, it was nice meeting you," I said with a smile.

"It was nice meeting you too, I'll see you later," Diago returned my smile. He nodded at Cole and then vanished.

"I guess it's just you and me now Cole," I said as I looked down at Cole who smiled up at me in return.

"You like the sound of that don't you?" I added and his smile grew.

"Ok, let's get you downstairs. You must be hungry," I carried Cole downstairs into the kitchen.

"Hmm what can I give Cole to eat?" I asked myself. I went into the living room and picked the contract up from a table I had left it on before entering the kitchen. With it there was an information booklet on how to take care of Cole. I flicked through to the food section. It said that Cole could eat anything but in small portions, obviously.

"Well it looks like you can eat whatever I eat but in small portions," I told Cole. I placed the contract onto the refrigerator and stuck a couple of black magnets on the sides to keep it in place. The refrigerator was really big, I opened it up to reveal that it was filled with different food like eggs, milk, meat, fruit and veg, drinks, cartons of blood and much more.

"Wow I don't know what to choose, maybe something simple like a sandwich or pasta but I have to put you down to do that," I said to Cole who didn't like that idea but he let me put him down in the high chair already on the side. Cole must have prepared everything for this experience with me.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here where you can see me," I assured Cole and walked back to the refrigerator. I took out some salad and cheese with strips of bacon. I looked around for bread and found a pack in a bread bin next to the refrigerator. I took out a couple of slices and made some sandwiches with the ingredients I had taken out of the refrigerator earlier. When I was finished, I placed them on a plate and took it to the dining room where the plate sat on the dining table with some orange juice, blood with two drinking glasses. I carried Cole to the dining room and placed him in a high chair that was already there. I took the seat next to him, I filled a glass with orange juice and another with a small amount and put it in front of Cole. I opened up the blood carton and poured some into my glass.

"Do Demons drink blood?" I asked him. Cole was already looking at the carton of blood in my hands hungrily, he reached his hands out for it and his mouth opened to show tiny fangs. I guess there's my answer. I poured some blood into Cole's glass.

"Maybe I should get a straw to make it easier for you, I'll be back," I told Cole and went to the kitchen in search of a straw and found some in a drawer. I took one and returned to the dining room. I placed the straw in Cole's drinking glass, I put the straw to his mouth, he put it in his mouth and I turned to the sandwiches. I took one and had a bite, I pulled off a tiny piece from the end and handed it to Cole, he took it in his little hand but didn't do anything with it.

"Do you want me to feed you?" I asked but obviously got no response and so I took the sandwich piece off Cole and put it by his mouth. Cole opened his mouth and the piece went in. I continued feeding Cole tiny pieces of the sandwich and fed myself too until the sandwiches were gone. I finished my orange juice with blood, Cole had some left so I put the straw in his drinking glass to his mouth until the blood was gone.

"Good boy," I praised Cole then cleared everything up. After, I sat back at the table, closed my eyes and leaned back on the chair.

It was just a minute later when Cole started sobbing and I forced myself to open my eyes.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked but Cole only held his arms up to me with a great eagerness.

"I see, you want to be held," I pulled Cole into my arms as he yawned. "It's been a long day, let's get you to bed,"

A second later, we were in the bedroom. I lay Cole on to the middle of the bed.

"I'm just putting you down for a second while I get changed into my pjs," I told Cole who didn't look pleased but let me go without a fuss. I went to my walk in wardrobe and picked out white pyjamas and a pink top that went with them. I stripped off my clothes and changed into them before walking back to the bed. I got under the covers and lay Cole next to me, I placed a pillow on the other side of him so that he wouldn't roll off the bed onto the floor during the night. However Cole didn't like that, he wanted to sleep in my arms.

"I'm sorry babe, that's just not possible. I could drop you when I fall asleep," I told him firmly. "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe. Goodnight, I love you,"

Cole fell asleep immediately after hearing those words.

A minute later, I kissed Cole's cheek then my eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep as well.
