DEMONS AREN'T MADE, THEY'RE BORN

2 weeks later. 

Lottie's POV:

another day, another crappy morning. 

another bland train ride, another boring class. 

it keeps on coming. 

two more periods to go! 

I sat in History, drumming my fingers on the desk, glancing anywhere else but at the lesson. I was too bored to be learning about Henry the Eight and his shit choices. 

I mean what idiot decides to marry 6 times and dumps each wife after, like, two months? 

psychopath. 

I glanced out the door's window, into the band room which was to my amusement right across the hall.

being empty at this time of day, I was a bit surprised to find a familiar face at the piano, playing and singing. 

Jill plays piano, and I didn't know this?! must investigate this. she tells me everything! 

I requested a pass to my locker, slipping to the other side of the hall, quietly entering the band room. 

I stayed out of sight, ducking behind some chairs, my eyes glued to the performance. she was playing a tune from Les Miserables and it sounded amazing yet sad. I looked closer only to notice Jill was crying. 

odd....it clearly wasn't the music; she never cries during music or movies. 

the song ended and a slow clap formed and it wasn't mine. I moved closer to the sound, peeking over the side of the chair only to find the one person everyone despises. 

Benjamen Carter. 

"BraVO, Jill. who knew you had a sweet taste in music." 

I watched as he swiftly moved closer to her. I had to bite myself from marching over to him and breaking his ankle. 

but something here wasn't right... 

I sat silently as Jill, always bright and bubbly, was silent as death, fear overwhelming her. 

my eyes flitted to Ben, who had grabbed a hold of one of Jill's silky locks of hair, tugging softly. 

I really feel like shooting his brains out at this moment. NO ONE touches my best friend without consent. 

I was about to stand up when he lowered his voice to a whisper, leaning close to her. 

Satan's voice rang in my head once again. the shittiest moment ever. 

kill him. 

no. 

yes. he's caused harm to her. end his evil deeds. 

NO! 

listen to the conversation. 

the voice faded as my hearing became clear and Ben's obnoxious voice rang in my ears. 

"you know what will happen if you fail to complete my wishes." 

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! 

Jill's eyes glazed over with tears but strongly nodded. "yes, I understand." 

Ben's expression was filled with triumphant pride. "good. I'll see you tomorrow." 

what he did next I never expected and I will kill him for. 

he took Jill's head in his hands and passionately kissed her. I felt like vomiting. 

I sucked in a breath, urging myself NOT to destroy him at that moment. he released her and smirked, satisfied then turned on his heel without a word and briskly walked out of the room.
