Tempted by the unknown (Misty's POV)

Part 4

"Misty..." someone calls out to me. "Misty..." I look behind me and see my mom. I stare at her in confusion. "I didn't raise you to be like this." She says with a stern voice. "What do you mean-" I mutter before she interrupts me. " How DARE you make a contract with a DEMON and betray GOD." she yells at me. I feel my eyes start to swell up as she yells at me. She then walks up to me and slaps me. "Wake the fuck up." I sit up and look around my room in a panic. I curl up into a ball for five minutes before getting up. I walk into the bathroom and take a shower. After I shower I get out and brush my teeth. I look into my reflection as it stares back at me. Get it together Misty, Smile. I force myself to smile at myself before going into my closet.

I pull out a nice green dress with a white sweater. I put it on and walk over to my vanity. I put on some light makeup and sit there for a minute. I walk down the stairs not paying attention to my surroundings. I move to the refrigerator and pull out the chocolate milk. I turn to the side to grab a glass but then hear a voice near me. "Good Morning sweet cheeks." I quickly turn around and see someone in my house. I led out a loud shriek in terror. "Relax! It's Just me Melody!" Melody yells back. I blink at her before saying "How are you human?"

"Magic. Literally I used magic" She responds to me while opening what I'm assuming is a spell book. I quietly say oh before turning back around to get my glass for my chocolate milk. "I made you breakfast so enjoy and I'm gonna get changed" I hear while I'm pouring my drink. Before I can even say thank you she walks away. How rude of her. I grab my glass of milk and sit down at the table. I stared at the food and began to eat it. I stop eating and zone out for a minute. Why did she make herself human anyways. I turn around to the walking noise behind me and see her standing there. I looked at her up and down before turning around to finish my drink.

"C'mon get in the car" She says as I rush after her to get into the car. When we were both in the car I decided to ask her the question I've been thinking about while eating breakfast. "Melody, why are you a human right now?" She responds with "I'm going to school with you." I look at her before turning my head back to face the front with a huff. Before I know it we made it to school, let's hope it goes well today. When getting out of the car I say a quick prayer before walking with Melody to class.

Once we got into the building we had separate classes. Everything was the same as usual, on Mondays I go to English first. That's where I find notes on my desk. I've learned not to read them. Happens with all of my classes. Before I knew it, it was time for lunch. When I walk into the lunch room I try to look for Melody. "Hey Misty" I heard from behind me, I spin around and see Melody. I wave hi to her with a smile. "Oh uhm i have to go to the restroom i'll be back" she says to me. "Oh, okay I'll wait for you at the table over there," I say as I point to the table in the corner. As I see her walk, I walk to the table I pointed to.

Nobody really messes with me at lunch. Well, correction, barely anybody messes with me at lunch. Sometimes they throw paper at me or force me to throw away their lunch. The likelihood of that happening today is unlikely. Wait, does Melody even know where the bathroom is? I get out of my chair and start walking to the bathroom near the cafeteria. I hear walking and laughing behind me but decided to ignore it. Once I get to the bathroom I look at the stalls to see if anyone is in there. As soon as I get to the third stall, I hear the door close behind me.

I whip around and see some girls smirking at me. I glare at them before stepping back a little. "What's the long face, we haven't even touched a hair on your body yet?" one of the girls said to me. I don't respond, they're not worth my time. I turn back around and start looking for Melody in the stalls again. I heard quick steps behind me before I felt my hair being pulled. As I get yanked back I hear someone say "Don't you dare turn your back on me bitch." I then get pushed forward and I fall on the floor. I start to crawl away as I hear them laughing at me. I held in my tears as I felt one of them kick me. I sit up and decide it's time for Melody to come. It's just too much for me.

I then held onto my necklace tightly and closed my eyes. "What's up?" I hear Melody say. "Them" I say pointing in their direction. "Oh unholy fucking shit." I hear her say. I tremble from trying my hardest not to cry. "What the fuck is this shit face, some fucking circus demon?" one of them asked me. "Circus demon? Bitch. I am not a fucking Circus demon." I heard Melody say. I then hear the girls freaking out. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU" I hear one of them say. "IT'S A DEMON" I hear another one scream.

"Can you shut up? You're quite loud." Melody said to them. I curled up more into a ball feeling the tears start to come. I hear screaming and the ripping of human skin. "Ew.. nasty. Doesn't even taste good." What the fuck did Melody just say. Is she eating her?.... I began mutter what the fuck to myself. I began to rock back and forth trying to calm myself down. "Misty, are you okay?" I hear Melody ask me. "No I'm not fucking okay you just killed her" I scream at her. I hear noises and then her leaving. What the actual fuck. Did I just witness a murder? What about that girl's parents, how would they react to her not coming home? What if the school finds out.

What if I am accused of the murder? I get up and see no evidence of it happening. I slowly walk out of the restroom hugging myself tightly. I make my way back to the lunch room and sit back at the table. I sit there and just stare off into space, no emotion in my eyes. I couldn't believe what just happened. I went through all my last classes like this, no emotion.

When I finally got home I didn't feel like eating, or really doing anything. I just took off my shoes and laid in bed staring at my ceiling. How could something like that even happen. Oh right, I keep forgetting that she's a demon. Demon's wouldn't care if a human got hurt. Maybe I need this reality check. I shouldn't have trusted Melody that quickly. Even my mother told me that in my dreams. I lied there in my bed before going to sleep.
