Vampires and Demons

Memories (Dark)

I look around and find that I am in a place that I really don't want to be. I know I'm not actually here but I also know that I had a strong allergic reaction that has caused me to go into a coma. This place is where I haved stored away all of the memories that I never want to have to experience ever again but I always come to this exact place when I am in situations like this. I hear rustling behind me and I turn around to see a bush sitting at my feet. I bend down and move the branches and I see my good luck charm there tangled among them. It was a gold cross necklace, I don't remember when I lost it but I remember that I was devastated because that was the only thing that protected me from the other demons. I pick it up out of the bush and put it on. It burns at first but crosses do that to every demon, I just have to get used to it. Then the bush disappears and I start ot hear yelling off to my side so I turn and I see a younger version of me standing in front of my father who was very angry with me, probably for no reason.

"You're a monster! I don't want you in my sight ever again! Guards!" He yells. I realize that this is the moment where he had me locked up after my mother was murdered. And being a typical demon my father had pushed the blame onto the easiest target, me.

"You can't do this! I've never done anyhting to you! Why?" I say as the guards come and grab me by the arms. My father gets a grin on his face.

"I am the king. I can do whatever I want and get away with it." He says as the guards start to pick me up and carry me away. I was five years old. The memory stops and I feel tears falling down my face as another memory starts up. This one is a good memory, probably one of the best ones I had but still not one that I wanted to remember.

"Princess, it's time." I hear a voice say. I had been in the cell without food or water for at least two weeks before this person had come to get me. I crawl up to the front of the cell and what I see surprises me. Lizards. Giant lizards are standing outside of my cell door looking at me expectantly. "Hello princess. We have come to rescue you." They say. I have to admit that when it happened I thought it was just my five year old mind playing tricks on me but now that I look back on it I know that it was real. I just nodded my head and move back away from the door so that they can break it down. "Alright. Climb on our backs and we will get you to safety." They say and I jumped on their backs and we ran away. I fell asleep on their backs as they ran and I remember that I honestly didn't care where we were going. I didn't even care if I was about to die, anything was better than staying in that filthy cell without food and water. I remember the feel of the warm hands that picked me up when we arrived at the location and I remember knowing that I was completely safe in these hands even thought I didn't who they belonged to. I feel the hand brush over my forehead and I smile before my eyes open and there's a man standing above me smiling down at me. Not in a creepy way but in a genuine way that meant that he actually cared about what was happening to me.

"Hello princess. How are you feeling?" He asked me. I looked at him genuinely surprised because no one had ever cared enough to ask me how I was feeling but then again no one ever actually looked at me because I was a monster.

"I'm feeling fine. Just a bit hungry and thristy." I tell him and he smiles and nods. I wanted the memory to continue but it switched to another one of my bad memories. It was the same man. Sebastien, he was an angel and he lived in Hell which of course was dangerous and it cost him dearly when the higher ranked demons found out that he ran the last circle of Hell. They came and dragged him away one day on the grounds that he was a threat to all of the demons but now I truly understand why they did it. I followed them and went to the rally in the square of the first circle where my father was standing on the gallows platform and his demon minions were dragging Sebastien along as others spit on him and yelled hurtful things but the whole time he had a smile on his face. They got him up to the platform and made him bow in front of my father.
