The outside the charity house looked like a 4 star hotel. And by the time we were on the steps, I turned around to Iu and asked:

"Can you shift into something that will fit the atmosphere?"

"Very well then, if that's your decision." I watched as Iu, shifted into a guy who looked like he had been on crack 24/7.

"Perfect! A local druggie." I threw my hands up.

"This disguise is a perfect match for you." Iu taunted back, in a rough druggie voice.

"Is that meant to be sarcasm?" I asked shoving open the door. Inside things were even grander than a 5 star hotel.

"They sure have great welfare." I muttered.

"Something is not quite right about this place," not only had Iu's appearance changed dramatically but even her breath smelled like weed.

"Tell me what is it?"

"The vision is too murky to see through."

"Then let it be that way then, I hate spoilers anyway."

Then I went up to the reception and tried to communicate through body language, but apparently the reception spoke both fluent Portuguese and English, making me look like a complete fool.

"Well we need some food and the two of us can share a room." I said.

"But there is only 1 bed per each..." the reception guy replied.

"Then make it two please."

"You can stay up to 3 nights before you have to come back a week later. Here are the keys and the cafeteria is at ground floor."

"Thank you." I smiled at the reception, as I passed Iu one of the keys. Afterwards Iu and I headed towards the cafeteria, which looked more like a 5 star buffet to me. Turns out a demon could eat more than a truckload. It ate as fast as it filled its plate. I ate a decent amount of food before I decided to rest.

"I never knew demons could consume so much in short period of time."

"As a matter of fact, I am a lightweight among my kind."

"Remind me never to buy dinner for your relatives."

"I would like to see you try."

"What is their diet?"

"Humans."

"Reminds me of cannibals."

"Yes, but you are forgetting something. We are not human."

"Yes, but you also forget: humans are also the closest relatives to demons."

"Why?"

"Whenever a human gets cut up into pieces and devoured as food society roars, but the ironic thing is we as humans are doing the same things to animals. Worse we humans grow livestock so one day they can be cut into pieces and devoured. Yet, society allows it to happen. Why? Just because we have superior intelligence, and superior everything, I don't see how different humans are from demons."

"Interesting speculation. But don't you participate in the same act too?" Iu said as I stabbed at my stake.

"Vile acts are one thing, eating is another. In this world, its hunt or be hunted. I rather not be hunted."

"The thief yells thief."

"One man's loss is another man's gain." I shrugged. After I filled myself, I decided to rest for the day.

"I am going to sleep now, good night...wait do demons sleep?"

"We recover strength during the day, demons are most active during night, and that's also when their power is strongest."

"Hm, well go do whatever you want, because..." I stiffed a yawn. "See you tomorrow..."

The first thing I did when I got into the room was collapse on the bed. And for the first time in many years, I got some real sleep...
