She could have easily slept upstairs in the house,
but Lilly found herself curled up with David on a twin mattress
that was pushed against the other guys mattresses as if it were a high school lock in.
Being human, she was always the first to drift off.

That night she did just that.
She could vaguely hear, was aware of the guys still talking, still joking around the fire.
Aware of David wrapped around her.

Then there was a loud noise.
It took her a while to realize that noise was, in fact, her.
As Mom had warned, she had let one rip.

Once the boys realized what had happened,
they howled with laughter.
Mark rolled off his bed accidentally.

Maybe it was just because he was closest he sounded loudest,
but David roared with laughter.
"That's it, Lilly... release your inner demons!"
