I don't remember clearly how I got there but I was laying down in a white room without any doors or any windows. I was looking intensely at the white walls trying to understand the quick whispers in my ears but they didn't sound like any language I would know.

Suddenly my mind started spinning and the violin song started playing again while the room filed up with all of my nightmares . I started spinning along with it trying to cover my ears from the song that sounded louder and louder each time i saw another image.
In front of me appeared Damian, confessing that he never loved me and that I'm just a monster to him, then there were the girls around my bed each looking more terrified at me then the other when they firstly saw my demon form .

I saw the only memorie of my perents, whose faces were blurred out but whose eyes I could clearly remember and the way they filled up with fear and disgust at the moment they saw my face ... and then there was inocent little Alix. She appeared jumping in my arms and made me calm down a bit. She was the only one who didn't get scared when I woke up as a "monster". She and Lilith were the only reason I had where to sleep and then.. I woke up.

I looked as horrible as always, I always have nightmare's after which I wake up with my horns going through the walls but something new appeared this time, a pair of wings that matched my eyes bleached colour.

I went to wash my face and calm down so I could go downstairs but the wings didn't seem to want to leave me . I panicked a bit realizing the fact that I couldn't mask my form and needed to go looking like this but suddenly someone jumped out from behind me holding my wings together and making them look like a dress. I was full of delight observing the wonderfull idea alix brought me with her hug.

I walked down the stairs, ready to have breakfast but then I heard a loud scream coming from outside.

Three boys were pulling a girl's hair, naming her a " Witch" or a "monster" and saying that she deserves to die and then they threw her into a puddle. I run as fast as I could in front of the girl and shouted at the boys to leave her alone, they started screaming and running around . I felt proud of myself until I realized that while I shouted I accidentally revealed my wings. I shyly looked at the kid behind me, praying that she hasn't seen them but, for my surprise, she was actually impressed of them.
When she saw my confused look she showed me her fangs which were probably the reason she got bullyed or perhaps her beautiful red hair, her playfull freckles or her red-ish eyes which might have looked "horrific" for the others but, for me, they seemed like the most beautiful traits you could have(in comparison with my black and white palette she was 100 times more beautiful).

I brought her in the orphanage initially just to give her a blanket and a hot tea but I imidiatly got her a room after she told me she was living under a tree(I was sure lilith wouldn't have had a problem with it) . After a few minutes, I heard a familiar song coming from her room, from maxine's room as she told us to call her.. A violin song.. And then everything was clear.. who was the violin girl.. why did she run away from me( she probably thought I would hurt her cuz she was different) .Two question remained in my mind "Why/How did she have powers?" and "Are out there more "weird" people like us? ".
