Eve intercepted Fredrick's move and gently pulled Sarah out of Michael's arms. She waited patiently for Sarah to get herself under control, then made sure Sarah was looking her in the eye, "Sarah, what I'm about to tell you is going to seem outrageous but it is very true. I need you to understand this right from the beginning before anything else is said. I have been turned into a demon." She paused long enough for it to sink in, not just for Sarah but for Michael as well. When she saw the horrified look on both of their faces she pushed on, "Yes, that is exactly what I said. A demon. Complete with horns, though I have them hidden right now. If you'd like I can show them to you so that you can understand how real this is." Both Sarah and Michael shook their heads in silence. They weren't sure where Eve was going with this but the reddish hue of her skin, and the tail she was trying so hard to keep concealed, were prove enough for them to believe her.

Fredrick looked on, a small amount of pride showing in his eyes. Eve had done exactly what he knew she would do if given the choice between himself and her with her friends. It was time, and Eve needed to embrace her inner Demoness.

Michael and Sarah looked at each other as Eve talked to them. Her tail switching was the only sign that she was getting upset. Apparently a year ago, when she lay dying in the middle of that dark highway and Michael apologized over and over again about the accident, Fredrick had come to her in a form that only the dying can see and offered her an immortal life and her ultimate revenge and Eve had jumped on the chance. Little did she know what she was agreeing to.
