Delilah woke up later then she had hoped, she stumbled downstairs and wandered through hallways, she didn't know where the others were but she didn't really care either. She smelled food after a while, and smiled.

She walked into the kitchen a few minutes later, and studied the others. "Hi, everyone. How are you doing?"

"Ah you're finally here. Have a seat." Dante said with a smile. "Well then I'll keep my job and go to school then. It just kind of sucks because my degree will be useless. Maybe I should have went to a tech school." Dante said disapionted.

Luther stared blankly at Delilah for a moment, before shaking his head "You have any ideas about how the hell we're gonna finance this?" He turned to Dante, "I'm feeling the same way."

sven began to eat slower when delilah came in, looking around he felt the need to help with there money issues. "I could probably try to get a job, not exactly a rolemodel worker but it's worth a try" the boy said before shoving a fork full of food in his mouth. The others had help him so much so it was only natural to want to give them help in return. "I would hate to do this but we could forge a false will and give all of someone's things us"

Dante chuckled at Sven's idea. "I don't think that would work. Plus you're still young enjoy your last few years as a teen. We will figure something out." Dante said smiling at Sven.

Katherin listened to the others thrw around idea.some where good. It was nice not to have to worry about trying to figure everything on her own. Dante is right Sven. Enjoy you're teen years. Dante and Luther we will figure out a way to use the degrees you got. Maybe Luther can study Sven's demon and try to come up with cures for them. Researchers get a lot of money.

*****************

"I was planning to look into it, that could be a good idea." Finding a cure was the next logical step after learning about one, and there was no reason Luther couldn't earn some money off of it. "If it helps, I already have a bachelors in biology, so I could use that for something."

"I am going for teaching so I guess I could temp once I graduate." Dante said. "I think creating cures would be great. Then Sven could feed his demon and we don't have to worry about an outbreak."

Delilah watched them discuss their jobs, she wished she had one as cool as theirs, while she was in college she worked as a waitress. Now she needed a new job, because people had filed complaints about her seducing their dates, and their children, and other members of the family. "I don't have a job right now, but I have some savings. I don't really know what to do about a job, though." She shrugged. Taking a seat at the table and chewing on a piece of cold bacon.

"Depending on how many credits you have, you could start before you graduate." He had enough substitute teachers in high school that taught while they went to college. Luther looked over at Delilah, "There are jobs where you can stick to yourself, if that's what you're worried about."

"I would say I could get you a job as a tutor but then there would be the problem with seducing the clients." Dante said loading his plate with the fruit salad. "Then again we can get you a job teaching younger kids." He suggested. "As for temping I think that only works when you are student teaching, which I would be doing next semester." Dante said answering to Luther's suggestion.

Sven smiled at his last years of being a teen, he was a hood rat, he hadn't enjoyed it much. Still he would not fight back, the same went for luther's idea. He didn't like the idea of being a lab rat but they needed the money. Still to cut him up and be tested on or to have his body used like a pig is used to test medical students it gave him the chills.

I was going to school for counseling, I am looking at setting up one of the rooms as an office. I will do online counseling. Katherin wrote. It was the only way she would be able to use her degree.

"Good idea." Dante shot a smile at katherin. He got a little sad remembering that she still couldn't talk. "We should try and figure something out for you to be able to talk too. A pretty girl who can't talk isn't hard to track. Once you go out in town it would be remember-able. If you are being hunted that would be a sure sign of where you have been, if the doctor knows you can't talk." Dante said to Katherin. "I think it would be for the best if you made a new contract with your demon."

Delilah smiled at Dante, he was right about Katherin. Delilah wondered if Katherin had a pretty voice, she also wondered what would happen if she spoke without Secret's consent. "Dante is right Katherin, we should find a way for you to talk. I bet you have a really pretty voice, it deserves to be used." Delilah started to look over the other things Katherin had written, she stopped at the one that concerned her and her demon and laughed. If only they knew. Delilah wanted to say, but she resisted. "I like the idea of becoming a teacher, but I'm not that smart. Maybe I could work as a maid? Or a babysitter? Something like that, it wouldn't make much money though..." She had moved from the bacon to a slice of toast, glancing between the others.

"speaking of demons, do you think you can just ignore me? It would be easyer than just taking this head ache" poxy said as he pushed his way into sven's concision.
"just spill the beans, what do you want disease" said the boy impatiently in his mind.
"just to talk to your friends, one of them wanted to test on you, I can see you don't like it, I want to put a stop to him" the demon said ironically.
"dammit poxy leave me the fuck alone" sven shouted in his mind before standing up and looking to the others in the real world.
"I will be excused, sorry" the boy said half controlled before walking out to the room to deal with his demon.

"listen I don't have time to deal with you, just tell me what you want to tell them" he said angry
"oh easy killer, what's gotten into you" the demon responded
"look just buzz of for now got it"
"I like this new you, what's gotten into you, maybe pain's getting to you"
sven remains silent
"or maybe promiscuity? there both lovely demons, nightmares too, we work so well together, pain helps to open wounds to infect, promisuicty gets people closer and nighmares weakens the people. Maybe we should try to get them to help sprea-"
"what about secrets, you called her lovely before you must have some sort of passion for her as well" Sven cut the demon off.
"oh we've met from time to time, as you do with any demon" disease replied.
Sven remained silent before walking back into the group and stuffing food into his face.
"serry guise" the boy said with a full mouth and a smile

Dante laughed at Sven. "It's no big deal." He said to Sven then turned to Delilah. "Here is the thing about babysitting and being a maid. You're very pretty and Promiscuity will draw attention to you. Clients and parents won't be able to resist you. Unless you are going to be in a porn movie I think those occupations aren't going to work. At least if you're tutoring young kids in like the third grade you will be fine. You would be doing basic math, history, science, and English. or you can could be a para? Or an artist? If you can paint you can try and sell you paintings." Dante suggested.

Delilah glared at Dante. Who did he think she was? A nymphomaniac? Why did he have to call her out like that, especially in front of the others. She folded her arms and opened her mouth to retort, but started at the table instead. It took her a minute to calm down and stop thinking of a way to sneakily kick him in the nuts. "I don't exactly like little children...and I suck at art," she paused, looking up at him. "And I would prefer following my own path, at least with my job. Unlike the rest of you, I don't want to teach, or be a hooker."

"I didn't mean to offend you. I just meant people wouldn't be able to resist you. Not that you couldn't resist them. Sorry Delilah. I guess I just talk without thinking sometimes." Dante looked down at his food and pushed around the grapes. "If you want to figure your own path that is fine. I was just rtying to think of something that wouldn't draw attention. You could write books. I have an uncle that could probably help publish them." Dante said trying to get more creative with his suggestions. "That goes for any of you guys." Dante said looking around. He felt horrible that he kept incorporating Delilah with sex. He couldn't help himself. The effects of there encounter haunted his mind. He wanted to jump across the table and kiss her, but he resisted and just said dumb thing after dumb thing.He looked over at Katherin and his mind calmed. She had this peace about her that seemed to ground Dante.
