I'd only been in Deerington about a week or so, I'd started at school. He was in my class and he... threw himself into my desk. [ Oh, you know. Just very usual things that happen in school. ] He was very upset, he was always more distressed back then. I didn't know he was a demon, but I calmed him down and Peter came back again.
